Leidx has related the case of the sudden death of a cow, which a-ar milked oue night (whou it appeared perfectly well) and disd tho next morning. A number of deaths nuder like circum stances having previously taken plaoo in the tanie herd, an examination of thin caw was mado, when the spleen wan found to be gorged with blood teeming with tbe organisms known as Bacilh- nnthracis, which are regarded as the cause of splenic fever. This observation has led a correspondent of the London Lauoet to suggest thai parts of cattle which had been killed wbilo suffering from this diseaso may sometimes be used for oleomargarine, and as sufficient heat is not employed in the manufacture of that B.ibst.nice to kill the bacille, con Burners of oleomargarine mubt run some risk of contagion. Tub Supreme Court of this State has decided that a Roman Catholio priest cannot recover salary from bis bishoi . The case was that of a priest who sued tl;o Bishop of Pittsburgh for three years' salary, amounting to $2,400. The plain lift had been idle during that time, be cause the Bishop would not appoint him to a pastorate, and the court bell w had awarded him $800 nnder "the common Jnw of the Church which guarantees him wipport." The Supreme Court.howover, tiays that bo had no more legal claim to that sum thau to the whole amount. "A religious organization which forbids its priests to do secular work," the Judge remarked, "ought to provide for their support, but when the attempt is made to enforce tbe payment of a salary, coutract'bas to be shown. If the priest relics upon the Cbur.-h to give him a living, be must invoke its aid, rather than the courts, if bo seeks redress." Mb. A. II. Keane has described Krao a seven-year-old female child now at the London Royal Aquaiium, wbo is sensa tionally claimed by her exhibitor to be the loug-sougbt "missing link" between man and thebigher apes. Krio is fairly intelligent, and her short stay among civilized people has already caused her to dislike her old savage associates. She has several physical peculiarities, the chief of which are a forehead covered with thick black hair down to the bushy eyebrows, a growth of hair about a quar ter of an inch long over her body, pre henslle feet and remarkably flexible hands. Mr. Keane finds, however, thi point of chief interest to be Krao's his tory, which seems to indicate the exist enoj of a hairy race of people in a part of India now chiefly occupied by almost hairless Mongoloid people. Krao and her parents also hairy people were found last year by Mr. Carl Bock, and nuother hairy family which came firm the same region is said to have been known. Last Siturday morning the IIowe committee inv.stlgitlug Chiet Cleik Hailc-y's connection with the Washington Gaslight Company, met and completed, practloally, their labors. The attend ance was small, it btiug evident that the investigation would peter tut. Mr, Crowley, chairman of tbo committee, stated that he did not think there had been buy evidence that, under tbo spirit of the resolution, iuculp.ited Mr. Bailey. He did not think it necessary, tbtrefore, to hear argument from counsel. Messrs. Jiisbee, Aldrich and Martin, of tbe com mlttee, also stated that they thought it Unnecessary to argue the case, although they were williug that thort arguments be made if counsel desired. In com mentiuu upon the result of this thaw in vestigatiou the Washington "Ettning Oritio" tays: It is due to Mr. Klotztosay that, whatever his object may have been. whatever may have instigated him in thi m .tier, ho has acted m.wt honorably in this investigation.

Washington, D. 0., Feb. 3, 18b3. Tbe first publio reception of tbo winter by President Arthur nas held ut the White House on Tuesday evening. Full preparations wero made for tho large crowd expected, and potted plants npoi' mantels and ccusoles wcro tho only i'e coratiocs nndo. A special entrance was arranged through tbe south portico and Bed Parlor for the Cabinet and Diplo matic Corps and anotner exit for the public was nude by bridging tho space between the hall windu.v and the outer drive ou the north front. The Marine Band was stationed in the vestibule and played throughout tho evening. The private and state dining rooms used for cloak rooms. The receiving parly stood tho Blue U'join and the President was assisted by Mrs. ncd Miss McElroy, Mrs. Frellngbuysen, Mrs.Cbandler.Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. Teller. Mrs. McMichael and Mrs. Ilockwell. Marshal McMichael and Colonel Rockwell made tbe presen tations, and the crowd, although quite overwhelming, at nine o'clock so dimin ished tbat when the hour for closing ar rived all had been presented, numbering something over two thousand altogether. Tho dressing ou the part of the ladies present was unusually handsome and the vast number who filed through had made apecial toilets for the occasion, render ing it one of the best dressed crowds Been in tho White House at such 1 -vecs. Considerable iuterest is manifested iu tho new attempts of the Secretary of the Nafy to detach from tbe Treasury De partment those bureaus having aemi uaval functions and to place thtni under tbe control of the Navy Department. These comprise tbe, Itevenue Marine Service, the Light House establishment, the Life Saving Service, the Coast Sur vey and the Murine Hospital Service. Tho principal contest is over tbe Reve nue Marine Service and is in no respect a new one. Many Secretaries cf tbe Navy of a managing political cast of mind havo made vigorous attempts to secure this service but have failed. The last serious contest was in 1873, under Mr. Thompson, the distinguished mari ner of the Wabash, but the defeat of the navy was so decisive that no effort has since been made in tbat direction. Judge Jero Black finished bis argument iu opposition to tho anti-bigamy bill be- lore the House judiciary committee this morning. He charges that the anti Mormon laws are utilized for tho benefit of a clique of politicians and gentiles wbo hold tho offices and want to control the means of acquiring wealth in tht ferntory. In the course of his argu ment he took the ground tbat there can be no constitutional trhl by a jury in utan so long as mormons of whom there arc twenty to one gentile are ex. eluded from juries. The Senate Committee on Commerce gave a bearing to-day, upon the bill "to prevent the importation of adulterated teas." J. R, Daviss, of New York, au expert who has had many years' experi ence lu tuo tta importing business, ex. plained the English laws upon the tub ject and the safeguards which the British Government has placed about the im portation of tea into that country. Tfce stringency of the English laws taken in connection with the removal by this country of the 10 percent, discriminat ing duties ou imports east of the Cape ol G.wd Hope, have had the effect of mak ing tho Unit.-d States the most conveni ent and profitabld receptacle for the cheap adulterated teas which have been excluded from the other markets of tho world. Tbe matter then went over until Tuesday. Iu all circb s hero it ij generullv an- tioipated tbat tho Treasurers of all the repudiating Commonwealths ofthe S:mth will boouer or later follow the examiil set first by the Treasurer of Tennessee, aud more lately by tho Treasurer of Ala bama. The medieiue administered by these defaulting Tnasiireis is of tbe beroio character, and it seeu.s tbat this is what is needed to bring back theaense of pnblio honor aud integrity which should never have been lost.

Since my last letter tbe events eliciting most tulk aud Interest here were the vis its of tbe Maiquii ot Lome and Gover nor Built r. Tbe latttr circuited about Washiugtou iu lively stjle, visiting the White House, the Supreme Court, the departments oud Congress. lie talkd on all subjects except bis proposed pres idential candidacy, bnt was as dumb as an oyster when an interviewer came around. When ho called ou the Presi dent, Geuiral Grant, who was there ut the same lime.sald tobim tbat the White Uouse was a very plea aut plsee to live In, aud tbe President usked him if h did not thiuk the new furniture and de- coattlous of the Executive Mansion were elegant and aesthetic enough to meet the highly cultivated taste of Boston and Massachusetts. The Governor wicked, but did not reply. Ou leaving the White House ha went over to the Department cf Justice, where (he courtly Attorney Gen eral saluted Mm with a most profound bow tend said: "Hail to the Governor who is to bo President." Tbe General winked once more and in addition smllad.but still said nothing. Wherefore the inference here .is that if he has the presideney ou the brain be intends to make n still hunt for it, as he did in his canvass for Governor of Massachusetts. Tbe reception of tbo Governor General of Canada at the Dritisb legation here was one of the most brilliant affairs of the season. Twenty-one great foreign powers were represented by their Minis ters. Tbe Cabinet and their ladies, the wealthy party-giving citizens of the Wcst-ond and sojourners of note, were amona tho fortunate "100" who received luTitntlons. Punch and Ices were served during the evening, r.ud the dining room was opened at midnight The HiurjnU a id a few others to tbo number of twenty, were, seated r.t a special table. Tbe re maining guests were served standing from tbe long table, which held oysters, salads, ices, charlotte, cakes and mild claret. It was 1 o'clook when tho promt- nent figures in the ball dispersed. Many of the ladiei carried baskets of il wers, an 1 the toilets were gorgeous in the ex- tn-me. Ti,. ,,, r ii , InTO nre many casis orpu.lionen r serving the government on small salaries becoming rery rich and wonder is often oppressed ut it. How can a member of Gon&resi on $5,000 a year oran ofllctr of ths government with even less, both of whom live in a style involving an annual expenditure fully equal to their supposed Income, accumulate large fortunes in a fewyeais. It is generally assumed that they cannot do it honest iy, and they can't as t rule, at least. Star-route Brady, wheu his large gains could no longer be concealed said he had been fortunate in telephone stock, yet it was shown after wards that he never owned ny such stock. But it is true that publio men make money in stock speculation men who cannct honestly or properly deal in such thingx "i can always tell when anything baa been done in committee which ia liable to effect stocks," said a well known broker at Willard's laat eve. mug. "xhe orders to buy or sell come streaming in on us from tho capitol from senators, members, committee clerks and lobyists wbo have been 'let in cn the ground floor.' We have accounts on our books with persons whose names our confidential clerks do not know, cs the slightest hint regarding their identity would mean political ruin and disgrace in many instances. Orders cr; given and received under covers and if our books should by any chance be brought before a court or any investigating com mlttee, it would be discovered tbat we did business with 'Good Luck,' Fair weather,' 'Silver Lining,' 'Gotham,' and other individuals equally distinguished If these mysterious personages are chair men of congressional committees, high department officials, senators or con, gressmen, nobody will ever be the wiser, Tbe moment action on any railway bill. or any matter which may influence min ing Blocks, or the value of any line oi merchantable property is taken, the ord e'rs begin to pour in, and nlthough that action may not be publicly known for days or weeks, lam conscious thatsomt thing has happened, and it docs not take me long to find out what it is.

The fate of all proposed tariff legisla. Hon is bill! in doubt though tbe prospect of getting a bill through has brightened somewhat during the last week. Stilt a gentliman acquainted with tbe recent histoiy of legislation, who has quietly made some inquiries about the turiff, now predicts that tbo senate will pass Its bill; tbat the bouse will pass its biil;tbat tbe differences will be adjusted iu a con ference committee; that the conference committee's reports will be adopted in tbe bouse, almost at the end of the ses sion, and that this report will be so un satisfactory to revenue reformers in tbe senate that it will not be adopted there, but will perish iu debate. The matter of excessive fees to the special attorneys r.ceutly employed in crimiual cases here will, it is understood, be inquired into when the appropriations for the Depart, incut of Justice come before oiiugress Tho two special altorneys in the Guiteau ease had received $10,000 each at the time the report of tbe Attorney General was made up, aud this was supposed to be tbe whole amount of their tie, but it Is now understood tbat tbe fee for each wus $15,000.

To-morrow tbe Lenten season begins, and for that matter even body I suppose is pleaded tbat a period of rtst for tbe weary pleasure seeker aud ball goer has set iu, A suitable finite to the Carnival season was the grand fancy dress ball o tbe Liedtrkratz Society, at tho Acade my if Musio ou Mouduy evening. It was the thiitietb annual ball or this famous society, and I am free to Bay that it wus the only marked ball of the season worth seeing. The costumes wure novel in design, rich in matt rial, and magmfi cent iu make up. There were dUuiouds by tbe basketful I might say, and the opening pageant was a masterpiece, The churches this year propose to at tract people to penance and. meditation by very elaborate musical programmes. Iu other words they intend to disguise the proverbial si ok cloth and ashes as much as possible to make people take them up. In oue leading Episcopal church which prides lUtlf on its chance choir a number of old manuscript works of Bach and other composers of sacred musio are to be brought out. St. Steph en's Roman Catholio Church will pro duce a different Miserere every Sunday evening, and in fact every church will have some, tpeclal attraction. Ifuuder these circumstances people do not take to tho road to Heaven, which is no long, er narrow and thorny, but broad and well kept, they will never get ther. Up to three or four years ago.the the atres used to be very subdued during Lent. True, they all kept open, but tbe plays were familiar "olif timers" oud the attendance used to be very poor. Now, perhaps more care is taken to provide dramatio pabulum during the Lenten season than for any other term, and as a result, tbe theatres don better 'business tbee forty days than perhaps during tho proceding four mouths. There ia not a manager at present who does not looK forward to a better bank account. I met n leading picture dealer tho oth er day, on Broadway, and during a loog walk had an extended talk with him ou it and artists. "This is the season of tho year,' said he, "when art sales be gin, but bo far they have been pitttfully bad. I attended n sale the other even ing by nuc of our best auctioneers, who generally succeeds in gathering the best class of buyers about him, Weil bis sale tl.ct evening was n veritable slaughter. Compositions which ought to have brought three or four hundred dollars went for frcm twenty to fifty dollars scarcely as much aa ths frames were worth. One littlo gem by a well known artist, a female head full of beauty, con ception, fitnecs of drawing and charm of coloring, waa picked up by a lucky fel low fur eight dollars. Ths artist could havo disposed of it a few weeks ago for one hundred dollars at private sale, but he thought it wa? worth two hundred dollars and hence sent it to the auction sale. Now the frame on that canvas cost thirty-five dollars, so you may im agine what tbe poor fellow of an r.rtist lost on work." I recently called on an artist who dur ing tho past year or two has earned quite a reputation as a portrait paiutcr. Ilia price was $200 a picture, and ho bad all the work ho could do. Ills studio when I called was filled with canvases of nil sizes, "but," said he, "there are no buy ers. Times are very hard for us poor knights of the brush. Very rich people go abroad and buy Bougeraus. Makarts, Meisonniers, and such like works, and pay all tho way from two to twenty thou sand dollars them. Ht re if a man does not paint from life, and particularly tbe nude he cannot sell ct all, and then if he gets a hundred or two for the work of perhaps a couple of months he may ton sider himself fortunate. Any hod car rier or longshoreman does better than tbat. I assure you, had I to begin life over again I would devote all my anility to the art of manipulating a pick-axe and shovel." If is for tbis reason that bo many nr lists lay aside the brush entirely and take up etching and engraving for tha publishers. Here at least a comfortable living may be made, though to a man wedded to hi.s art, this is perhaps merely, a secondary consideration. i ' I uttended a dinner of tho Hair Deal er's Association the other evening, and do not remember ever having been pre ent on au ccc-siou when so many hirsute jokes were bandied.

The Public School question which has been agitating the city for months, Las at last assumed a shape which is any. thing bnt pleasing to a large number of the teachers employed. The Commis sioners of Education have decided to cut off the special teachers; the instructors in French, German, Music, Drawing etc, and to reduce tbe bularies of the regular teachers. Tben occurred a remarkable thiug, Tbe regular teachers bad a meet. ing and decided to petition the Board to retain the special teachers, and to furlh er reduce their own salaries so as to make up tho requisite fund, Sympathy is gen erally extended to sufferers, but practi cal sympathy like this ia indeed rare' in these days. One scarcely has an idea of the nnm ber of boys and girls, young men and young women, who are being sent to trade schools instead of to colleges, This shows tbat healthy common sense is growing among parents. We have too many clerks and book keepers, too many aspirants for honors iu the professions, aud too few trained, skilled artisans par ticularly iu tbe higher branches olhnudi nork. The Metropolitan Museum Trade School has recently been cousiderablv enlarged. A lady now teaches tho day class for women, for artlstio decoration of leather, silk, satin and glass. To III is added a course of drawing aud the use of color iu preparing designs for in dustrial ornamentation. Tho fouoder of the New York Trade Schools who was formerly connected with the management of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, pro poses as soon as practicable to open ad ditlonal classes for practical iustrnctlon iu tile laying and artistic stone' cutting, and another well known art worker pro poses to give (nil nnd thorough iustrnc Hon in w irking in brass and other met als. Nor are the less artlstio trades neg lected. Several large furniture houses, carriage factories, car aud other machine shops take up youug men und give tbem practical and thorough instruction. As tbis is bound to grow there will soon be no necessity of importing skilled work. men from France and Germany for our fine work, oud we will have an American industry of our own which is above the necessity of being protected, MAURI HO.
