Governor Foster, of Ohio, whom polit
ical wise-acres claim is on the Blaine
ticket for the campaign of 1884, hold an
impromptu levee in the corridor of the
Fifth Avenue hotel this morning. "Are
the knowing ones right this time in ro
gard to your reported alliance with Mr,
Blaine, governor," inquired a reporter.
"There is not s word of truth in it,"
replied tbe distinguished man. "As far
as Mr. Blaine is concerned, I believe he
is not a presidential candidate. At least
I judge so from the fact when I lust saw
him in Cleveland he said he was dis
charged cured, or, in other words, was
satisfied with his experience."
"It is said you were highly pleased
over your recent friondly rocoption by
President Arthur, and that you believe
his administration will rod omul to the
good of the country and to the republi
can party."
"Yes, replied the governor, "I was
much gratified over my interview with
the presidont, and regard him as an able
and honeHt man, and furthermore I bo
liove his administration will not be char
acterized by any act that will antagonize
the republican partv."

McMillan, relative to the income tax,
provides for the assessment and collec

The report of the secretary of state on
the necessity of introducing modifications
into tbe extra territorial jurisdictional
system oi tne uniieu Diaios in tvuina,
Japan and eastern countries where consu
lar courts are allowed by treaties, is i
lonir document. Tbe secretary deals
with the subject comprehensively without
absolutely denying the constitutionality
of the judicial acts of our ministers and
consuls as tbe law now stands, and shows
there is ample room to question the en
tire conformity of their procedure to the
constitutional duties oi consular onicers,
and as a rule to discharge judicial func
tions. It is considered in conclusion
thut the needs of the consular service
demands men of business capability,
alive to the interests of trade, rather than
trained jurists. Passing to the consider
ation of a reformed code of extra torn
torial jurisdiction, the secret iry suggests
the constitution of a proper court of tbe
United States at the principal center oi
foreign intercourse with a country, se
lecting Shanghai in China for instance,
the appointment of an American judgo
there with functions analogous to those
Judges in the federal district courts of tbe
Jnited States, nnd holding office for life
or daring good behavior. Also provision
for choosing grand juries to present in
dictments, and ordinary juries to treat
cases; appointment of clerks, thus mak
ing the court one ot records; nomination
of associated justices in larger commercial
cities, with powers and functions pre
cisely defined by law; promulgation of
an intelligent code; holding lull terms at
the seat of the principal court, and lastly
appellate recourse to circuit courts of the
United States. Since the present law
was passed seven capital conviotions have
been made in all China and Japan. Ex
ecution of sentence was performed fol
lowing the conviction in the case of Jno.
D. Buckly, hanged at Shangbui in '61,
after denial by Minister Burlingame of
tho privilege of appeal to executive clem
ency. Another case mentioned is that of
Dinkille, convicted of murder by tbe
consular court at lleogo, and pardoned
by the president on coudition of under
going a lifo imprisonment, but who has
refused tc accept such conditional com
mutation, and is now held in prison un
der indetluito postponement of execution
of the death sentence, The recent well
known case of Mirzan at Alexandria is
also referred to.
In his annual report to the president
10 commissioner of agriculture Bays the
exponse of the attempt to cultivate the
tea plant in South Carolina have bcln
somewhat curtailed without detriment to
the experiment. One of tho experts
(Saunders) who visited the tea farm es
tablished in Suuimorville, S. C, reports
that the two hundred acres of land se
lected for the experiment are most of
them covorcd with a heavy forest growth,
poor and sandy, and of a character to
support only the scan tiost kind of vegeta
tion. Of this about fifteen acres have
been cleared and was under primitive
cultivation. On those acres operations
ere commenced in January lust. A
space was propami for sowing tho tea
and preparations made for covering the
plants, which when young suffer severely
on being exposed to tbe sun. Tho plants
were growing well and constituted the
entire tea crop of tho farm. Saunders'
reported that with regard to the future
prospects of tho enterprise, if continued
in tho lino of tbe present system, it may
bo said there iu not much room for on
oouragomont. Tho poverty of the Boil
and character of the climate in which
frosts sometimes occur, seem to be un
favorable to the production of strongly
flavored teas, as had already been proved
by oxporiment in Mcintosh, Ga. Prom
inence is given to the report of votoriuary
surgeons sent to Great Britain to inquire
into alleged importations from the United
States of diseased cattlo, and tho commis
sioner beliores tho misunderstandings on
this subject have given way before con
vincing proofs presented by American
surgoous. Recognizing the importance
to our western farmors of acquiring data
upon which to predicate- as to tho prob
ablo action of the Hooky mountain locus
iu 1882, I have bad an agont specially
engaged under direction of the entomo
logical bureau to guthor such dta in
their permanent breediag grounds of
this pest, for tho most part in the thinly
Bottled regions of the northwest, lie
mombcriug the invaluablo loss and snf
fering which this iusoct entailed between
187!) and 1877, losses which largely helpod
to prolong tho commercial depression of
that period, tins information seems to be
of sufficient moment to warrant an an
nual observation of a moro extended
ture.

A Detroit surgeon w hose reputation is
first-class was seated in his ofllce the
other day when in walked a stranger who
was followed by a dog. Without any
fooling around ho began:
"Doctor, I have tho dyspepsia."
"Yos, sir."
"Had it twenty-six vears."
"Yes, sir."
"You can't cure it."
"No, sir."
"But you cau make an exchange of
stomachs between roe and my dog."
"I believe it could be done, and both
live."
"Will you guarantee that I won't
have a hankeriug for old bones if I trade
stomachs?"
"No, sir."
"Will I want to chase cats?"
"Very likely."
"And snsp at tramps?"
"Quite probable."
"Doctor, this is business."
"Yes, sir."
"And the exchange of stomachs is de
clared off."
"Very well."
"And I bid you good day."
"Good day, sir."
And the man whistled to his dog and
walked oat, without looking to the right
or left. ( Detroit Free Press.

A New Metal. A vein of what is sun-
uosnd to be a now metal is said to have
Imvii found in digging a well near lint tie
Creek, Michigan. ThetJnd is in a stratum
of rock about 28 feet below tho surface.
ioces of some of tho nuggets taken out,
it is said, have been melted up, and have
all the appearance of tbo bcHt goM, but
when the acid test is ajipliisl to the
metal it corrodes, showing that 't is not
the genuino precious metal, li is not
known what metal it is, and specimens
have bceu sent away for analysis.
New Mode of Telegraphing.--Nature
reports that a telegraphing experiment
of a singular description was tried about
the middle or August at. the Trocadoro.
It consists merely in tho rending of large
silvered zino letters, a square meter in
size, fixed on a blackened board, by re
fracting teloscopes. This method has
succeeded very woll from tho Trocadero
to tho l'antheon a distance of three
milos. The inventor, an officer in the
French servico, thinks ho will sucoeed
in reading messages at a distance of sixty
miles under favorable circumstances.
Havmxo Fires. When a boiler is
short of water and a heavy fire is on the
grate, what shall be done to prevent the
boiler from being burned? The first
impulse is, on the part of some, to haul
the tire at once, but is not that the most
dangerous course that could betaken?
It seems opon to criticism. A fire that is
disturbed is intensely hot for a short
timo, at n period when no more heat is
needed, and it would therefore seem that
it would be bettor to open the doors and
throw wet ashes on to smother the fire,
instead of adding to the dangor by rak
ing it over. By so doing the heat is at
once lessened at no time increased
and the pressure is fulling, but when we
haul a fire, the exact reverse occurs, more
steam is mode and the danger increased.
We think it safer to cover the fires than
to haul them, particularly if they are of
bituminous coal. Mechanical Engineer.
Living animals lit up from within.
At a recent soiree in the Taris Observa
tory, M. Trouve showed a live fish with
its body lit np from within by his elec
trio polyscope, a minute form of which,
with conducting wires passing to the
hands of the operator, the animal had
been caused to swallow (comfortably, let
us hope). The whole body became
transparent in tho dark, so that the ver
tabre could be counted and all the de
tails examined. This instrument prom
ises to have many nsea. Among others,
it has been applied. La Nature says, to
showing students tbe texture of the reo
tnm and bladder, to facilitate extraction
of a projectile at the back of tbe nose,
to examine the stomach of a bull (in
which a gastrio fistula was formed), to
lighting the interior of shells and can
non for examination, also to lighting
powder magazines, in which case the
reflector is inclosed in a tripple envel
ope of glass.
The Wrong Ashes.
He was a jolly-looking man, with a
round corporation, a burgundy-tinted
nose, and the general exterior of a eon
tented mind, and as he entered the ed
itorial den he offered ns a cigar, lit an
other, and said:
"How abont this local cremation

"Well, how yourself?''

" iVhy. yes. It was her last wish, you

Important rJellol Discovery.
The method of counteracting disease
bv introducing foreign substances into
the blood by inoculation or injection,
has long been known to medicine. Its
principal application has hitherto been
to prevent the contagiou of smallpox,
though the same process seems now in a
fair wav to be applied to tho prevention
of a large olass of diseases called zymotic
Hypodermic injections have been used
chiefly for anit'sthetic purposes, but a
recent discovery by Dr. J. B. Lacreda,
of tho Laboratory of Experimental
rhvsiology iu the National Museum of
Iiio Janoiro, will lead to their more gen
eral application. This ingenious scien
tist has proved that a solution of per
manganate of potassi im injected into
the blood is an infallible cure for snake
bitej. The discovery is of great value
all over the Americau continent where
venomous reptiles are common, and es
pecially in the tropics where they are
abundant. In the province of Bengal,
10,001 persons died from snake bites
alone during the year 1880. The remedy
has been thoroughly tested. A laborer,
bitten by a venemous snake on a planta
tion in Tiraby, iu Brazil.wastaken home,
a little of the permanganate of potassium
injected with a little spring syringe, and
he so far recovered as to be able to go to
work the next day. A negro on a sugar
plantation in Barra was bitten by a very
poisonous suake called jacarra. His
iinbs swelled, ho began to bleed at the
throat and nostrils, and became insensi
ble. Ho was cured in the same way by
a small quantity and resumed his work
in four hours, in the province oi ftan
ter, William Broadbent was bitten by a
" i
joracossa, whicn ne was passing irom
one flask to another. The bite of this
serpent is very deadly, but the remedy,
applied by a friend,, removed the pain
in a fiw minutes. These cases are at
tested by the Rio Janeiro papers. The
information is of sufficient importance
to be widely disseminated on this coast,
vhera the remedy may be used as a sim
ple and available antidote not only for
snake bites, but for those of scorpions
and tarnatulas.
Mother," remarked a Dublin girl; "I
think Harry must be going to propose to
me." "Why so. my daughter?" queried
the old lady, laying down her spectacles,
while her face beamed like the moon in
its fourteenth night. "Well, he asked
me this evening if I wasn't tired of
living with such a menagerie as you and '
dad."
Oae leal a Day.
Dr. C. E. Tage sends to the Journal of
Chemistry an account of experiments
made to show that one meal a day is
enough for a man:
"8. N. 8., twenty-eight years old, re
solved to adopt the one-meal system, and
did so, leaving off meat and all condi
ments, as salt and pepper, and eating
chiefly wheat-meal bread and fruit, and
bread made from unsifted meal and mixed
with water only, no salt or bread-raising
devices unleavened bread. Within
seven months his weight increased from
one hundred and forty-five pounds to one
hundred and seventy ponnds, and his
strength of both body and mind had in
creased in proportion. His labor had been
severe; he is a mechinest and an inventor,
working ten hours every day, and
doing a good deal of practical and profit
able thiuking at the same time. It is
now a full year since he came to oue
meal, and the weight gained has been
maintained, and his health is perfect.
During tbe lost winter for the purpose of
testing the sufficiency of one meal of
pure food for the most trying labor, he
worked in an iron foundry for three
months, and notwithstanding the ex
treme and frequent changes of tempera
ture incidont to the work, on cold morn
ings with the mercury below zero, and
in the afternoon at 120 degrees above
and all hands sweating like rain, and had
not a 'cold' for the winter, and was tbe
only employe thus exempt. He bad for
merly been subject to frequent attacks of
tbe above disease. Mis daily ration con
slats of six ounces to nine ounces (ao
cording to labor) of Graham flour
besides fruit sufficient to supply all
the liquids necessary half a dozen
apples or their equivalent in other
fruit. He is rarely thirsty, but some
times, if too little fruit is taken at meal
time, he takes a small draught of water
in the course of the day. This meal is
taken at night, after entire recovery from
fatigue, usually at 7 o'clock. During
tbe month of May, lool, just passed, he
gained sixty hours or six full day:
orking extra hours at his bench, some
times working right through to mid
night, and taking his 'breakfast' after
short rest, beiore retiring. io man in
his employ hod gained so much time
He has occasionally made a trial of bolt
ed flour bread, but has invariably ex
perienced a loss of weight and strength
My own experience goes far to prove
the efficiency of the above regimen for
either the brain or muscle worker. I am
now taking but one meal a day, and find
myself perfectly nourished, weight and
strength maintained, on about fifteen
ounces of unleavened wheat-meal bread
to the mastication of which i devote an
hour or more. I find that six cold gems
weighing abont fourteen ounces, with
out either butter or milk, ohewed delib
erately and thoroughly dissolved by the
juices of the mouth, will sustain mo
much better than when eaton warm with
butter or milk. Considering the manner
in which people in genorol bolt their
food, it is not strange thut a large pro
portion of it fails of digestion. Starchy
foods cannot be transformed into pure
blood entire, except as far as the change
is begun in the mouth.
"Until a few months ago l took my
food in the morning, but I find the even
ing a better time. During tbe day the
brain and muscles can have everything
their own way, without interfering or
hindering digestion, and at evening,after
a sufficient rest, there is perfect tranquil
ty of body and mind and 'leisure to di
gest.' I had never been a 'good sleeper'
until I adopted this system of diet.
People who eat several meals a day do
well to take the last ono early, and the
lighter they make it the better, but dys
peptics may rest assured that, of itself
considered, the evening meal is not the
causo of their wakefulness or troubled
dreams. When X ate three meals of a
mixed diet, I could not make tho last one
simple enough to give me complete rest
at night, but now, when rested from my
.lay s labor, I can eat my full vegetarian
meal and sleep like a well fed babe. I
could give a number of examples liko
the foregoing, of one-mealers, did space
permit, all tending to prove the su
periority of vegetable over animal diet,
and all the entire wheut over the most
scientifically impoverished article."
Circulation of the Blood.
The question is Did Harvey really
iscover the Circulation of the Blood?
Was it not known that tho blood coursed
out from the heart through the arteries,
nd returned through the veins, until
Harvey published the fact I Various
claims have been made to the contrary,
some of them referring tho discovery to
time long anterior to Harvey s time.
But, be that as it may, according to Har
vey's own account, he can hardly claim
the honor of the discovery; for another
physician had discovered and pointed
out to him, certain facts which could be
accounted for in no other way. Here it
is:
In Italy Harvey studied with an
eminent physician and philosopher
named Fabricius ab Aquapendento. One
day the old philosopher called his student
into his laboratory, and exhibited to him
very beautifully prepared system of
human veins and arteries, which ho had
dessected and preserved.
There." said he, pointing to the great
vein of the thigh, and theu to other veins
the larger veins were all there "do
you observe those nicely adjusted valves?
See how they work! They allow the
blood to pass freely towards the heart,
from all directions; but not a drop can
go the other way! And see how plenty
they are. Surely a Supreme Intelligence
must havo placed, them there, and for a
purpose.
"And heie we nave tne arteries, ud-
.i ii
servo how strong ore tueir wans, as
iron to wood, when compared to the
veins. And tho arteries have no valves.
Their walls are fashioned for resistance."
He might as well have, if he did not Bay,
The veins, we see, are made for lilting;
the arteries for pumping!"
However, Harvey came home, and
told to England and to the world the
story of the circulation of the blood.
Had not his Italian master known it.'
Of course he had. And Fabricus ab
Aquapendento gave to him tbe secret.for
after the knowledge of the wonderful
valvular arrangement of the veins, the
next step to the blood's circulation was
within the grasp of any person of ordi
nary interpretation and scieneific attain
ment.
