CHECKING EMBEzzLEMEyT.

Governor Wolcott, Of Massachusetts, IN
his recent message to the Legislature OF
that State, took up the question OF EN-
bezzlement and recommended that IN
order TO the checking Of the crime, 1t be
made a misdemeanor and cause for dis
missal from Office for any man having
public or private funds in his possession
TO speculate in securities, or otherwise
engage in optional trading
The Boston Commercial Bulletin and
the Springfield Republican both COM
mend this recommendation as worthy OF
serious consideration. The latter argues
that such law would have
great restraining force. seeing that
the public or private trustee or
fiduciary could not venture into the specu-
lative market without making known
the fact 10 other persons, and the very
fact of his appearance in the market
would proclaim his lawlessness to the
brokers and agents, through whom he
must deal.

"The Little Girl and Me-

post Wheeler in New York Press)
When all Of childhood was a song
And all OF life was May
When all of sorrow and Of wrong
Was sunk In yesterday
we walked together, hand in hand,
True comrades, | and she
Oh. life was set I'm summer FOR
The little girl and me!
Then came time when sky and air
With snow was all astir
She went away-so far, so far
/ could not follow her.
And somehow all the woods and fields
As wide as | could see,
Went grieying for the little girl,
And had no smile for me.
Long years have come and gone since
then.
And time has touched my hair.
But | am Just as young as when
Those fields We're fresh ana fair;
And often. as j watch the sun
Kiss field and hill and tree,
Il seems 10 shine again upon
The little girl and me.
One day when SHOWS no moro fall cold,
Nor autumn's shadows chill.
Where leaves hang always red and gold
And silver runs each riil,
I'll 20 myself and look for her
And there. omewhere-mayhe-
There may lie other Fairgrounds for
The little girl and me!

Opera Benefit for Confederates.

New Orleans Picayune.)
Mr. f. Charley, of the French Opera.
has done a most gracious and graceful
act in rendering his theatre and fine com
pany for the benefit OF the old, dependent
Confederate soldiers.
Friday evening, the 26th instant has
been set apart as the occasion. ana the
ever-popular opera Of lie Trouvere,
bringing out the distinguished artists oil
his magnificent organization, is the at
traction which will be offered in this
most mertorious behalf.
The fine rendition of that romantic and
beautiful opera should alone fill the
house with the best people in the city;
but In a cause so thoroughly deserving
the good people of New Orleans should
pack their grand temple Of music from
the parquette 10 the roof. The old SOL
dlers Of the South have no powerful pa
ternal government, drawing taxes from
100000 Of people, for their support and
maintenance.
The disabled and crippled among them
have no haven Of refuge and no hospitable
home in any Of the vast and majestic
structures built and maintained by the
government for the care and comfort OF
the northern veterans. The old soldiers
of the South would not even be permitted
to enter the precincts Of those great mill
tary asylums. They must, therefore, de-
pend wholly on the charity and kindness
of their own neighbors and acquaintance
for such relief and maintenance as may
be possible to them.
Now an opportunity Is offered for every
body who Is willing to contribute TO the
necessities of the southern veterans TO do
So while at the same time enjoying a
Of 4 honor n
Mr.. Charley and his artists for their
splendid contribution to the veterans. Let
the good people OF this city respond 10
the demands OF the occasion, and show
their hearty appreciation Of most de-
serving cause. as well as of the magniii-
cent generosity of Manager Charley and
his great company.

The American Consul at Glauchau,
George Sawter, Esq. reports that in the
next number of the Deutsche Medzinische
Wochenschrift edited by Professor Eulen-
berg, Professor r. Pfeiffer, and DR.. w.
Kolle, two well-known psychologists OF
Berlin, will publish the results of num-
Der of experiments which they have made
with a "typhus antitoxin," prepared by
them after much study and trial in their
respective laboratories. If the hopes OF
the two investigators are confirmed, the
science Of medicine in infectious diseases
will have received another most valuable
accession in this new discovery. The two
experimenters believe that exemption from
typhus germs, like immunity from cholera
germs and other contagious diseases OF
like character may be traced back to the
existence in the blood Of antityphoid sub
stances, and from this standpoint the very
successful results of the Investigations
made by these gentlemen have been gain
ed.
Mr.. Sawter adds:
THAT this theory is most important and
practical is realized when the vitality OF
the typhus bacillus, as discovered by
Koch. Eberth, and Klebs, is given conside-
ratioH. The typhoid bacillus is known TO
exist largely in well and spring waters,
and the fact that these are frequently the
direct cause Of infection is widely recog-
nized by authorities on bacterology. Con-
sequently. this latest important discovery
is greeted with joy and great praise OF
Professor Pfeiffer and DIR. Kolle, whose
untiring efforts of experiment with these
bacilli of such infinitesmal organisms will
prove in the future the means Of preserv-
ing numberless lives from untmely de-
mise. particularly as man is prone TO at
tack from these bacilli during the best
years Of his development-i. e., from the
age of 20 to % years. The NEGOTIATIONS OF
typhus antitoxn can be easily and quickly
executed, and, il is thought. will prove Of
great value and benefit especially in
times Of epidemic. when the needs for a
prompt and efficacous life-saving remedy
are most urgent
professor Pfeiffer and DR.. Kolle will
very shortly publish the entire fruits OF
their experiments for the benefit of the
medical fraternity in Europe and Ameri-
