D." after their names who say: "We hepe we shall succeed in locating the 'grippe' bacillus." That was done with scientific perfection as long age as 1803, by Dr. J, H. Salisbury, of New Yerk city. Dr. Salisbury was in charge of the 6tate laboratory of New Yerk, under the state geological surrey, frdm 1840 te 1854, is known te scientists all ever the world as an eminent living tnicroscepist, and has treated many thousands of cases of this disease. As long age ns 1873 he gave te the world, through Dr. Hallier's ""Zeitschrift fur Pnrisitenkunde (Jena, Prussia) the world's leading journal of microscopy the results of his long continued and ex haustive study of theanitnalcular organ isms causing this disease, named by him asthmutus ciliaris. W. Saville Kent's great "Manual of the Infuseria" three large volumes published in Londen in 1883, and universally recognized as the highest authority recognized and con firmed Dr. Salisbury's discovery of the interesting little creature, and honored it, from u scientific point of view, as the first and euly known representative of the genus nsthmates (the name given te it by its discoverer). Dr. Salisbury's nrticle in The Zeit schrift fur 1'arisitenkunde gave the name "infuserial catarrh" te the dis ease, and presented the following por traits of asthmates ciliaris its cause. Tiiu descriptive article contributed by him te the journal in question was as follews: Infuseria) catarrh is purely a parasitic disease, arising from a peculiar animalcular organism armed upon one side with cilia. This organism assumes n great variety of shapes and sizes. By n atchlng Its development and metamorphoses un der the microscope, It may be seen te transform itself into all the different forms represented in the figures from 1 te 17. The most usual shapes appear te be cither, spherical or oval, as seen In Figs. 1 te 8. Each f requcntly sends out a pro boscis, ut the end of which Is a dilated and elon gated cillum, as represented at 14, IS, 16 and 17. This prelwscls may be in the center of the mass of cilia, ns at IS or 10, or at ene side, as at 14 and 17. It may be drawn In, leaving a nipple like eleva tion, as nt 10, or may disappear entirely, leaving the organism oteI C8J or spherical (0). The pro boscis erten only partially disappears, or Is only partially drawn in, while a constriction occurs in t lie form, as represented at 13 and 14. It may be simply a largely dilated cillum, as at 17 and IS, or the cell walls may go out, forming a mera or less sharp protuberance, as at IS; or the walls may r still further out, forming a mere or leas fusiferm organism, as at 111. The young are developed within the parent cell, and when mature are discharged at the end of the organism opposite the villa, as seen at Fig. IB. The parent becomes quite dilated before deliver ing; nnJ as the young ene U discharged the par ent) cell boceineshrunkcn and shriveled for a time. The aperture seen, however, closes, the w rhiMed, shriveled condition of the sne walls dis appears anil the iarent moves about again, fresh, plump and lively as ever. The cilia are In active motion diirln? the greater part of the lite exist ence of the animal, and produce a most aggravat ing Irritation of the, mucous surfaces. The young organisms 1, 8, 3, 4, 5 and 0, have a relliug, rock ing, vibrating motion from slde te side, making about one-third of a revolution en the transverse axis at each oscillation. The mera mature cells cither vibrate slightly or have a tremulous mo tion, their cilia net moving altogether as at S, but vibrating lit different directions. Symptoms Alter ence obtaining a foothold en the mucous surfaces of the air passages they multiply rapidly. At first they attack the mucous surfaces of the cye and nose, causing free secre tion of tears and thin mucus, and often intense iwrexj sms of sneezing. The organisms gradually travel Tfrem thejiasal surfaces down Inte the fauces larynx, trachea and larger and smaller breiiclul As soeu as they reach the fauces there j a burning heat and Irritation In the parts that ascites severe coughing. This tendency te cough constantly Increases as they and the irritation gradually travel farther and farther down the air passages. When the larger brenchll are reached a heavy, het, feverish pain Is felt In the parts tbey invade, accompanied by Bushes et heat cad fetcr. This stage U accompanied by most Intense paroxysms of coughing, which are frequently long and most painful, especially in the morning. If tbe parasite makes Its way Inte the smaller brenchll and air cells asthmatle symptoms et a distressing character often supervene. The dis ease may continue according te the temperament and constitution and state of health of the pa tient; the irritation assumes a chronle form, and the sutTerinss gradually grew less and less till tliay disappear. In irritable, sensitive constitu tions Din Irritation In the fauces, larynx, pharynx and bienchil beceauM se grijat that the parts ptsmedliaUy close In attempts te swallow or te inlmltf elr charged with anything which excites InfUued parts. 1 have ue doubt from what I liave seen that death may have occasionally occurred la the acute stage of this disease, from eauns of the pharynx aud epiglottis. eciivllua-Tbe cells of the mucus, first secreted from the surface tnraded, are large, round mucus cells, net differing materially from these In health. Boen, lien eer, they begin te be shrunken and Jagged, and hi a few days they assume many of them the appearance and characters of pus cells (inuce-pus). The secretion U thin, clear and wa tery at first, and small In quantity seen becom ing thicker and mere turbid. The cough ts short and fceinett hat ialnf ut, and the Invaded surfaces feel irritated, raw and het. The cough raises but a small quantity at each time, and relieves the Irritation and itching but for a few moments. Whenever the perusites are developing rapidly en the teltin palatl most Intense paroxysms et ceugUngare exdted, which are long and persis tent und 'jalnf ul, and sometimes are accompanied by severe spasms of the epiglottis. Often nu Irritation and itching will be felt en eue slde of the threat only exciting constant de sire te cough. In such cases the Irritation will nlwaj s be en the side en which the nasal passage Is closed. Under such circumstances, inhaling reiuedl through tbe mouth very often falls te check the coughing mero than a few moments. Uy clearing the closed up nasal passage and in haling through it the coughing and Irritation are seen checked. The reason of this Is, that the parasites are developing rapidly en the posterior surface M-tbe wing of tbe palate en tbe slJeef the nasal stoppage, and am constancy working len into the lar) nx and pharynx en that side. Asthmatle Byinptems Wheu the parasites re&th the smaller brenchll and air cells espe cially In irritable and sensitive constitutions asthmatle symptoms begin te show themselves, and often become distressing and almost unen durable.

J 7 - 18 Asthmates Ciliaris (Salisbury). I have Ukea the liberty te give this little parasite a name which, perhaps, a mere extended acquaintance xnay deprive It of. It may be found te be one of the many forms that are already described that inhabit stagnant and running waters, and under certain conditions fermenting organle matter. The figures from 1 te 18 represent tbe different phases of its existence. They are magnified from SOO te 600 diameters. In Figs. 7, 8, 14, IS, 16 and 17 are seen the young cell developing Inside the parent cell. Dr. J. II. Salisbury, upon being asked if he had anything new te add new te what he had written in 1873, replied: "Ne mere than a recommendation te inhale menthol and camphor. Itelh are de structive te the Ufa of the animalcule, the former particularly se. If attacked promptly, the living organisms can all be killed off within twenty-four hours, though mero are likely te be reproduced from germs for three or four days, and the disease will re-establish itself if the treatment is net kept up for that length of time. If allowed te run its course without treatment the disease will lest about a month. By the end of that time these infuserial organisms will have ae poisoned the secretions and the surfaces of the tissues they infest that they can no longer live in them and the disease will 'get -well of itself.' "Until then the affected person spreads them abroad for the infection or ethers, net simply in tbe secretions discharged from his nese and threat, but by his breath. I have e' great many cases of thedisease te treat, and would catch it every day of my life if I did net con stantly employ prcvcntlve measures, the principal of which is the inhalation of menthol. As it is, I de net hare it mero than two or three times a year, and then, of course, put a step te it very quickly. It is net at all dangerous aud is easy of cure, if properly treated." Te give the inquirer n view of the di di minutive stranger Dr. Salisbury pro cured some discharges from the nese and threat of a patient who had been at tacked by "la grippe" the day before and under treatmeut for about twenty hours, and put them under a magnify ing power of 400 diameters in the micro scope. Ne living organisms were found in the specimen of secretion from the nose, but in that from the threat two lively specimens of asthmates ciliaris S resented themselves. One was exactly ke Fig. 8, only that the cilia were shorter than in the illustration; the ether was three times as large, swollen with young and bore a f ringe of cilia en one end, like Fig. 14, except that there was no proboscis visible. The ciliary motion was clearly observable in both, and in the larger one there was also a percepti percepti ble pulsating movement In the swollen center. It may be positively affirmed that new, thanks te Dr. Salisbury, we knew all that is te be known about "la grippe." J. H. Connelly. Manners for Deya.

H. W. GRADY. ORATOrV'AND EDITOR AND PROMI NENT MAN OP AFFAIRS. ketch of One of the Best Men of the Mew Seeth-Hie Keeolleetlens of the War His XfltarU te Obliterate Sectional Animosity. The late Henry W. Grady, of Georgia, editor and publicist, was ene of the most prominent if net the ablest et the leaders et the south. Unlike Gorden, Fitahugh Lee. ex-Oorerner Brown and ethers of the Confederate survivors, who at the close et the war accepted the situation and placed themselves abreast et the times te bring back prosperity te the south, Grady was a man of the young genera tion. He was, therefore, clear in record and free from the prejudices of the great political contests of the past. The position that he occupied before the reading and thinking world was remarkable for one man at any crisis of life, and especially for a man of Mr. Grady's years. He was editor et The Atlanta Constitution, a strong southern organ, and contributor te many first class northern periodicals; he inspired if he did net govern the southern policy of The New Yerk Her ald, and he could command an audience composed et the cream et the peeple whenever he chese te appear en the platform. And yet he was considerably under 40 years qf age. Grady's recollections of the war, as he delighted te recount, were that he was a school boy, and, in common with his classmates, had the war craze, and by hook or creek get te the front just at the windup. His father was a soldier in the Georgia contingent at Petersburg, and when young Grady reached the com mand it was te learn of his father's death in Lee's last aggressive movement, the brilliant but disastrous night sertie led by Gen. Gorden against Grant's lines at Forts S ted man and Haskell in the spring of 16G5. When the troops scattered from Appomattox and went home the bright young war orphan found friends among his father's comrades, and in the course of time became the pretege of Gen. Jehn B. Gorden, the first soldier of Georgia. During the reconstruction period Grady continued his school work, wrote and re ported a little, and finally started a country newspaper, with the usual re sult of first trials failure. His news paper work, however, had made him capable of representing Tbe nerald in the south, and with tlds acknowledged position he began te rise. His Herald connection opened up the southern coun try as his field, and it also developed in him bread views and the highest capa cities of journalism. Grady entered the editorial rooms of The Constitution as part owner and editor in 1678. Almest his first great work was the manage ment of the wonderful political cam paign of 1880, that made Gen. Gorden governor of Georgia. Gorden, who had been United States Bcuuter, and had re signed in 1880 and entered busi ness, announced himself as guber natorial candi date, nis oppo nent, Maj. B n con, was a Con federate veteran, and was the reg ular Dcmocratie nominee, with all of the party ma chinery and the nress ncarlv n unit pledged te nKm w- aBADY his support. Tbe victory was credited te Grady, and it came very near making the young editor United States senator. Grady's national reputation was derived from his labors in interests pertaining te the whole south. He identified himself strongly with material and so cial developments, and in this depart ment he took a somewhat uulque stand, and held It with boldness. He said in 1877 that the young men of the south were ready te forget the war, although respecting its hcrole southern traditions, and that slavery would net be re-cstablishcd if the thing were possi ble. Industrial and commercial enter prises, he thought, would occupy the time and the energies of thsyyeung men, and as editor of a prominent paper he threw himself heartily into the recon struction of business. About the time of his elevation te the editorship of The Constitution the articles by Mr. Cable en the status et the freed men were attract ing general attention, and In 1885, no strong veice having as yet arisen te speak for the south in reply te Mr. Cable, Grady published an essay in The Century Magazine, stating the negre question from a southern point et view. The article was entitled, "In Plain Black and White." This paper suggests, if it docs net plainly state, all et the views upon the vexed question which Mr. Grady lias given out in his numerous writings and orations since. He began by saying that the south should make a full and frank reply te the query, "What will you de with itf' the negie problem. ' Making full and frank answer, tbe au thor said that the south has measured the difficulties and found them te be that of two distinct races placed upon the same soil in social and civil equal ity. The relations between tbe whites and the blacks in churches, schools, so cial organizations, en the railroad and in theatres had been fixed by choice in txitircases en "the basis of equal accom modations, but separate." The conclu sions of the author, after stating all phases of the problem, were that unmis unmis takable domination of the white races would be the outcome. Till would be due simply te "the right of character, intelligence and property te rule." The new champion of the south gained a transient reputation by this essay, but the great question was then causing only a ripple, and had Mr. Grady been satis tied with this single pronunclamente the very ideas that have made him fame as an orator would have passed into obscur ity. Meanwhlle the world glvlnjthe es sayist but apasslngatlentien, the Georgia editor was forging te tbe front in affairs of a mere local character. The city of Atlanta undertook In 16S3 te enferce lo cal prohibition, and Grady bocaine an ardent champion of the "dry" element. Owing te a difference of opinion among the managers of The Constitution, the L i i .is a tint nnsamlTTiri TIT btll.GrdywatiiwaBw.etUM "sky." ever bis own ftiW. aaj asMsta thfAM oecwwd dartaf Ik canpaign. Grady aad soma ether tertal expeneat semeiimea took eptMaM) sides til tMsauaaistueel The Const Censt Const tlea, and The Mew Yerk Bun, which al ways take a humorous view of tha ec centricities et tha fraternity, called this double back action journalism." Tha prohibition excitement continued for three years, but The Constitution's peti tion after the first campaign, which made the city "dry," was strictly neutral. As a local character Mr. Grady wen personal fame. He was called the autocrat et Atlanta, and was almost aa hard te reach, when he chose te be, as the Grand Llama. One et the stories of his cast iron away in the sanctum la that he acted upon the Thunderer's motto of never taking any thing back. One day a man whose obituary had appeared ta The Constitution made his way te Mr. Grady's room, and with fire in hie eye demanded a denial in the next day's awe. The editor, who was almost as bread as he was tall, rolled careless ly ever until their eyes met and cool ly declared that this would be iaspossi iaspessi iaspossi bie. "We have put you In aa dead," said he, "and yet you come te us alive and ready te kiek, if net kicking! se I'll make it all right by putting you among the births." Mr. Grady's latest triumphs were In oratory. In responding te a toast at the banquet of the New England society, in 1886, lie gave speech te the sentiments he had Ions cherished and written about, and, fortunately for his fame, he was listened te and applauded by representative- men of the whole nation. It was then that he stamped the phrase "New Southland became the acknowledged champion of southern progress en new lines. Ue aweku the next morning te find himself famous. A year later Mr. Gradv engineered a very successful seutisyTn exposition at Piedmont, near his home, and here and at Augusta he delivered two powerful orations en the problems of the south, industry and the roce question. New tho'seuth applaud ed, and in a sense rcsendcd te his lead ership. The recent effort of Mr. Grady befere the Bosten merchants was a bold summing up of the results of the move ments for progress with which he was associated for the past tea years. I Grady was a voluminous writer. His thought was clear, although thelanguage uscdwasseinewhat Involved. Aaaspeaker he was ready find forceful.

Sema neighborly critic, in a spirit of faint praise, dubbed 'him a "genial Irishman," his ancestry having been exiles of old Erin. The title was net n misnomer, for he was brim full of geniality and f ar tee geed natured te be a partisan leader. Perhaps his greatest work was te prove by example that a young man of liberal and progress! ve ideas can rlse te power in the south and have a large following among men et his own generation.

Noth Neth in' in It, y' knew, but lets e' fun and fresh cider." "COWS SMELT AT ltlDSiailT." Such a conversation might have been heard in any rural region of the central west soma forty years age en any New Year's eve. And the "setting up" was the one and only point in which New Year's observances differed from these of Christmas. The Knickerbockers have se far impressed themselves upon Ameri can life that most of the present genera tion think "calls and congratulations" have always been the great feature of New Year's. Knew then, Innocent youth, that as late as forty years age "New Ycar'a calls," as New Yerk has known them, were an unknown institution in thrco thrce thrco feurths et the United States. But in the border states, especially the southern sections of the states just north of the Ohie, the practice of "watching the old year out aud the new year in" was the ene thing peculiar te New Year's. Wonderful things were te be seen at that hour. Cows fell upon their knees, fowls went through a sort et reverential per formance, the wild animals lest their fear of man. and certain plants of a mys terieus nature sprang up in the deer yard. "I have had the children pull and lay en my lap sheets as long as my hand," was the testimony of ene geed old lady, and for aught any hearer could ever dis cover, she honestly believed it. A little later, when the old superstition died out, "Watch Night" became a religious pro ceeding. The ordinary evening meeting was followed by a "song and praise" ses sion. A few minutes befere midnight the members et the church gathered around the "altar" (it was merely the space in front et the pulpit, but the old name remained), and sometimes joined hands in a circle. As the minute hand of the clock nearcd the XII mark tlse most profound silence was observed every Christian was sup posed te be in silent prayer for pardon for the sins of the closing year. When the new hour and new year began all breke into a glad song, often mingled with "shouts" in Methodist or United Brethren churches, and after the song closed the members pledged each ether te renewed devotion and "greater faith fulness te duty" for the coming year, The negrees, always quick te adapt their old African customs te their new reli gion, took special delight in this one, adding many fanciful features; and It still survives in the far south m "Walk ing Egypt." But 'what et the original "Watch Night?" Well, all we can say is that some of our ancestors brought it from Scotland with them, and as they told of the wonderful things that had hap pened in Scotland, se their children in Kentucky and Indiana told the same things as having happened in Maryland, and by nnd by their children In Illinois and Missouri told of them ns occurrences In Maryland or Kentucky, and se the superstition lived en In many neighbor hoods even te the outbreak of tbe civil war. Ah, the war that Iconoclastic war! new many fine old traditions did it ban ish at once and forever. Hew many sweet Illusions were utterly destroy edj hew many local customs, hew many racy local legends; hew mightily did it fuse all the people et the north into ene image and likeness. "There have been MEW YEalt'S CAIXINO IN KMCKEUDOCKCII TIMES, no witches in Germany slnce the wars et Napeleon," was a German saying of the lest generation "Benaparte killed all the witches." And se there have Ijccii slnce 1800 no visions of the "Watch Night," no praying cows, no dovetlonal roosters, no suddenly growing night plants. Christmas had its own riotous sports and sheeting matches in the early west, Easter its "calicecd eggs," and the Fourth of July Its cannon or anvils with precession and speech; but New Year's had nothing peculiarly its own but "Watch Night," and when that was taken the day vas left but a mere pale copy of Christmas. The Knickerbocker custom of "calls" was brought in, but it was an exotie and has novcrbcceino well established in the west. Yet New Year's is really the elder festival; Christmas was added ut a comparatively late day. It was icrfcctly natural that all people from the earliest times should celebrate the beginning of the year, and if the do de do mestie animals had any sort of fellow feeling about them why shouldn't the cows and tbe roosters pray for their owners? In Ireland the fairies and elves clus tered around the shrines en holy nlghta; iu England the dark shadow of Druldism long rested cm the holy days; but It was in Scotland the land of gloomy crag and tarn and black mountain pass and grewsome mist pre-eminently the laud of superstition, that even birds and beasts bowed te honor the New Year's. Frem the Highlands the exiles brought the tale te sunny Maryland, but in that region it seen took en bright and joyous traits. New Year's observances are of very ancient origin. The Remans en the first dar of the vcar were accustomed te ex.' filSife w fill i4 ii&fem Mill lL$mF$ 1889 cnange greetings and make presents, These under the Cwsars were a great source of profit te the emperor and quite burdenseme te his subjects. The church at first- inhibited Christians from hav ing anything te de with it, but at last made it a Christian festival, Strange te say the custom of calling en New Year's day grew most nearly universal among the Chinese and Amer icans. The former eclcbrate the New Year through thrre days, during which they call en their friends, exchange greetings in the streets, bent gongs, offer paper prayers nnd make a "Fourth of July" of It In fireworks. In the days when a ltttle group of f rame houses with gable ends of Dutch btick clustered about the fort adjoining the point called the battery, Mynheer and Vreuw, together with their children, the youths nnd maidens et New Amsterdam would go about making visits te each ether, celebrating the day as only a prlmitive peeple could cctebrate it, tbe elders smoking their pipes and the younger making merry, aud all enjoying themselves heartily. It ran NKW YKAll'8 CAMJNO Of MODEIIN DAYS. But the burgers of New Amsterdam, as new generations came en, waxed rich. Broadway passed the old repewalk near the present stte of the Aster house, shot ever Union sqttare; and where the Fifth Avcnue hotel new stands met Fifth uvc-a nue, which, climbing Murrny hill, new runs through the aristocratic dwelling portions of the city. New Year's day bo be bo caieo n social gala day, The young bleeds wcnt",half n dozen together, in car- rtages, and parties vied with each ether na te hew many calls they could make. In the palmy days of New Year's calling the most fashionable peeple wero even ing dress, the blinds of the parlors were closed, and the gas lighted. The scene within was often llke that et an evening reception of the present day. But as the Dutch New Yerk burgers et old were overrun by the English, se the New Yerk swells et today have suf fered the same fnte. A dlsease called Anglemania appeared in the land and seized upon swelldem, The English aris tocrat spends the Christmas season at his country scat, and when the New Yerk parvenu became wealthy enough te have a country scat he must needs im itate his English model and go te it for Christmas and New Year. When the New Yerker began te spend the holidays as his English cousin spends them, New Year's calls began te fall off. Se for several years New Year's calling in cities has been dropped. Fortunately there are still left peeple who de net have chateaus in the midst of great parks, who eling te the old custom. On New Year's day they visit their friends with something of the simplicity of for fer mer days nnd enjoy It as It was enjoyed then, But the great rush of New tear's day as It existed ten years age is passed, and It Is no treat less.

Tbe frlnged swags and silk covered spindle lattice give a finish te the general character of the valance. Drapery Ne. 3 suggests a rather mere fan ciful style of treatment.
