In 1868 Professor Helmholtz an- nounced the discovery of low organ isms in the secretion of the nasal cavity of persons suffering from hay fever, and Prof. Biny, in a recent letter on the subject, says II have suffered since 1847 from this catarrh, the attack com ing on regularly in the hay season, and the speciality being that it ceases in the cool weather, but on the other hand, quickly reaches great intensity on ex- posture to sunshine. It is attended by violent sneezing and thin corrosive discharge. In a short time a painful inflammation of the mucous membrane and often of the skin of the nose su- pervenes, together with fever and head ache. In cool room these symptoms are relieved, but there remains sore- ness of the membrane, which after a time disappears. 45t E&G

 The curious dependence of the dis ease on the season of the year, suggest ed to me the thought that organisms might be the origin of the mischief. Tn examining the secretions, I regularly found in the last five years certain vibrio like bodies in it, which at other times I could not observe in my nasal secretion. They arc very small, and can only be recognized with the immer. sion lens of very good microscope. It is characteristic of the common isolated single joints that they contain four nuclei in 8 row, of which two are more closely united. Upon the warm objec- tive-stage they move with moderate ac- tiv1ty, partly in mere vibration, partly shooting backward and forward in the direction of their long axis ; in lower temperature they are very inactive. II is to be noted that only that kind of secretion contains them which is ex. pelled by violent sneezings that which drops slowly does not contain any. When first saw the statement regarding the poisonous action of quinine upon infusoria, I determined al once to make an experiment with that substance, thinking that these vibri- onic bodies, even if they did not cause the whole illness, still could render it much more unpleasant through theil movements, and the decompositions caused by them. For that purpose ] made neutral dilute solution of the sulphate of quinine. then lay flat on my back, keeping my head very low, and poured with pipette about tea. spoonful into both nostrils. Then ] turned my head about to let the liquid flow in all directions. The desired effect was obtained Immediately, and remained for some hours. I could ex

 pose myself to the sun without fits ot sneezing, and the other disagreeable symptoms coming on. It was sufficient to repeat the treatment three times g day, even under the most unfavorable circumstances, to keep myself quite free from the symptoms.

SKAGEr RIVER IMPRoyEMENT.-Capt.
George D. Hill has information from
Washington that the Immediate survey
Of the Skaget river has been ordered
by the Engineer Bureau Of the Govern
ment, under an act of Congress passed
at the last session appropriating ten
thousand dollars for the improvement
Of the navigation of the said river. We
know of no expenditure of the same
amount which would SO greatly advance
the interests of this Territory. The re-
moval of two timber jams, near the
mouth of the river, opens it to nav ga
ion for at least seventy miles from the
Sound, at all stages of water. through
valley, OF an average width of about ten
miles, of as rich agricultural lands as
any in the world. The lower part OF
this valley is principally covered with
dense growth of vines and soft woods
easily cleared by slashing and barning,
and when the river is made navaGable,
so as open it to a market, single crop
would pay for the land and all the ex-
pense of clearing. tilling. harvesting and
marketing. Farther up the river there
is said to be considerable extent of
prairie lands. MS rich as any in the fam
ous Willamette valley. and far better
situated for a market; these terminate
in the foot hills of the Cascade Noun
tains, which are believed to abound in
mineral wealth. but have heretofore
been difficult of access on account o
the distractions in the river. 1t is be-
ieved by competent engineers. that the
appropriation, judiciously expended,
will be sufficient for the purpose, and
ve may reasonably expect rush of
emigration to that section Immediately
thereafter.

While 1t has always been acknowledged
that the Kentucky women are the fairesI

models Of ease and grace, and there is Q
certain style and gesture in their walk

are regular and handsome; their skin fair
light, heavy, waving hair; dark blue eyes
and peaChy bloom on their cheeks

THE DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION.
The Rev. T. A. Goodwin, q Methodist
clergyman Of the Indiana Conference, Is
shortly 10 be tried for heresy on account
Of the views expressed in a book recently
published by him, in which he says he be.
lieves in a resurrection Of the material
body that is laid in the grave, and holds
that at death the believer passes at once
to his entire personality into the presence
Of the Lord. The Datter came up at the
annual meeting Of the Indiana Conference,
Of which Mr.. Goodwin Is member. On
the question Of passing his character as
minister severe criticisms were made on
him as the writer ol this book, and he al
once demanded formal trial.


Concerning this case, the ChrhtiG1
Union says:


"It will be interesting to see whether
the Methodist Church holds that such
views unfit a man-and one proved by
long service in the ministry-to preach
the Gospel Of Christ. We greatly mis-
take the spirit Of that Church II any such
decision Is reached"

OUR Wickenburg dispatch shows that the Indians have killed another man. this time in Humbug district. While this is to be deplored, and is not an altogether un- expected act, we still have no idea that it means any outbreak or indication that the general peace of the Territory will be broken; and we trust the press abroad will so regard it. Quite a number of men have been killed by Americans and Mexicans since one has been by the Indians-save this one in Humbug district. It will not do to implicitly trust all Apaches even when protesting peace, any more than it will to trust all other men protesting a much higher order of peace and civiliza- tion than any Indians.

or loveliness alone,
A woman of her gentle sex


The seeming paragon,
To whom the better elements


And kindly stars have given
A form SO fair, that, like the air,


Tis less OF earth than Heaven.
Her every tone is magic's own,


Like those OF morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever In her words;
The coinage of her heart are they,
And from her lips each flows,
As one may see the burdened bee
Forth Issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her,
The measures of the hours,
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness of young flowers;
So fill her, she appears
The image of themselves by turns,
The idol Of past years.
OF her bright face one glance will trac'
A picture on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts
A song must long remain;
But memory such as mine Of her
So very much endears,
When death Is nigh, the latest sigh

In his speech in the Senate recently,
opposing currency imitation, Senator
Schurz spoke as follows:


IF farmer or planter could in
fate the currency and run up the pre-
MUM OF gold when he sells his crops,
and then so manipulate the currency
as to raise the value of paper money
aud depress the premium on gold when
he buys his supplies. of course that
would be a winning trick. But those
who buy from and who sell to him
would try to play the same game and
in this trickery game the honest far
mer would be sure to come to grief. as
he has come to grief already. No;
if the farmer or planter wants to pros
per, he will above all things, use every
effort within his power to rad the eoun-
try of a system of currency which OBJ
lires him to sell at low and buy at high
prices. He may for moment think
that imitation will aid him IN paying
off his debts, if he has any; but upon
consideration he will discover that
debts are paid out of surplus earnings,
and that his earnings will be depressed
when the price of what he buys is
high, in proportion to the price of
what he sells that his surplus earn
inps will grow larger as sooD as the
price of what he sells is put upon an
equal footing with the price of what
he buys. He will discover that the
trick of deprectatiDg the legal tender
by imitation, in order TO pay what he
owes in a currency less valuable, will
not rebound to his advantage in the
end. and that in this, as in all other
things, honesty is, after all, the best
policy. He will discover that an hon
est currency, which permits him to
buy and sell on the same basis of val
ue, is for him the safest basis of pros
perity, and / trust the time is not far
distant when the farmers, whatever
artifices of demagogism may be used
at present upon them. will, as one
man, stand up honestly and intelli-
gently for the earliest possible return

After some more threatening lang
uage sailors cap was placed on his
head, and with the landlord on one side
and stalwart runner on the other, he
was marched into the street. The
boys hope revived as he got into the
open air, and he told them that if they
did not let him go he would call a po-
lieeman and have them arrested.


You say a word to anybody and I'll
knock the teeth down your throat, F"
said Gleason, while the runner, with a
menacing gesture, swore he would kick
him to pieces if he opened his head.
And hear ye, added the landlord,
''the best thing that you can do is to
keep as quiet as you can. All the
policemen down here are my friends,
and if you call to one I'll give him a
couple of dollars to club you.


The boy made no reply, but looked
as keenly as he could at those they
passed; but at the time Git was now
after dark in that section OF the city
there was no one TO be seen to whom
he dared appeal. They approached a
policeman who was standing on the
corner, and the boy. in spite of threats,
made up his mind to call to him; but
his resolve was checked when his cap
tors and the policemen nodded pleas
antly to each other, and he thought his
safest plan was TO see the captain,
who, in his innocence, he supposed
would certainly refuse to take him
when he found he was no sailor.


When they came to the shipping Of
fce-not the Office of the United
States Commissioner, but an "out-
side" or private ofice-the captain,
who was present, without asking any
questions, told Gleason that the boy
would not do, he was not heavy
enough, and he might as well take
take him right back and bring him a
heavier man or none at all. The boy
attempted TO speak, but was sileneed
by threat and marched out of the
Office again. On the way back the run
ner proposed to take him to another
Office and ship him for Liverpool, but
Gleason refused, saying he was going
