It is said Prof. Robert Koch, of Ger
many, is xperimenting to bring to per
fection a germicide for the tuberculosis
bacilli. Should this eminent professor
succeed in his experiments and investi-
cations, he will have done more for the
world, in general, and suffering human
ity in particular, than any other man
since the day of Jenner. Statistics prove
that one-fourth of the total mortality of
the human race is due to consumption;
or, as, what is classed in that disease.
The eyes of Europe, together with the
little Americas" are now viewing the
German Laboratory with as much inter
est as Herschell overturned his telescope
toward Uranus. That the success of this
investigation, or research, if you please,
of Prof. Koch will be successful, there is
no doubt; it only remains for him to de-
velop it.

There is no end to investigation and
research. a few years ago there was no
"Wizard of Menloe Park"-to-day the
world is filed with phones and sounds
to which the mocking-bird is but a poor
portrayal. Our every invention is bur
a part of the Divine Idea that shall lila
mine this globe and bring from chaos
TO which it has been confined, for the
development of man, the grand possibil-
tiles Of yoking the mortal with the i'm 5
mortal. 'Believest thou this ?" "Thou
shalt see greater things than these l''
Prof. Robert Koch in his experiments
is but making another link in the devel-
Opmeut of the grand plan, that shall t
make US all live-forever.
The subject that has most agitsted the g
minds of the people of this community
during the past week, is the lynchiug and v
burning of the negro White, in New Cas- ;
tie county. While none doubt that the r
william deserved death, opinion differs as "
to the mode of its execution. Some I
think the mob did right, but the conser- g
Vatiye and law-loving people deprecate n
the affair as a subversion of law, and an W
Inauguration of anarchy, Law is the le
fundamental principle upon which gov p
efnment is founded, and if law be de- p
stroyed by an infuriated populace, who
then can feel safe? p? There are many 9l
