London last month. A physician re

hospital. A portion of her bead was
eaten away and the bone exposed in
two places. The magistrate who ex
amlned the case said that he knew an
engineer who died from glanders in
three days, in consequence of the horse
attached to a cab in which he was
conveyed throwing off some matter
which, fell upon him. Twenty years
ago a lady of high rank in Paris was
caressing her beautiful carriage horses.
She had a tiny wound in her hand
and a little glandered matter from
the horse's nostril got upon it. She
died in dreadful convulsion!. It is

Exposing Corrnptlon.
Harrlsburg, May 21. The Investiga
tion Is on its last legs, so far as exami
nation of witnesses Is oonoerned.
There Is no telling, however, what
may turn up unexpectedly, even at the
last moment. There were eome Im
portant disclosures to-day which sor
prised even Wolfe, so well bad the
members approached kept their own
counsel. Maclay, who brought out
something fresh about Petroff and
Salter, and Miller, who gave Kimble
about the worst blow he received, have
positively resisted all opportunities to
Indicate the tenor of their testimony
in advance. Both are sensitive as well
as honorable men, and do not care to
be mixed up In the matter, even in the
best of characters, if it were possible
to keep out of It. Four members have
now made more or less direct charges
of corrupt solicitation against Kemble,
but the committee has so far declined
to give Kemble's own testimony to
the public, or rather the House has de
clined to allow a member of the com
mitted to move that the whole testi
mony shall be printed and the official
repoet of Kemble's is not to be allowed
to go out by itself. Rumberger is fas
tened down by the testimony of Sil
verthorn, whose honesty is vouched for
by Wolf, Short, Underwood and others.
Petroff, of Philadelphia, is implicated
by Watson, of Mercer, and Maclay of
Mifflin, while detective Franks makes
a minor charge against him of rowdy
ism in connection with the matter
under investigation. George F. Smith,
Philadelphia, is -confronted by charges
of solicitation made by Knitle, of Co
lumbia and Luzerne. E. H. Clark, of
Philadelphia, rests under alike charge,
made by Foster, of Lehigh, and Slier
wood, of York, is arraigned by his col
league, Bowman. Ex-Representative
Salter is accused by many witnesses of
being Kemble's ''go-between," and
several smaller fish have not been able
to pass through the net Altogether,
twenty-four Representatives say they
were corruptly approached in one way
or another to secure their support of
the riot bill, and nineteen have stated
under oath they were offered money,
directly or indirectly. Two thousand
dollars was the highest and three hun
dred the lowest price of votes, accord
ing to the reports ol these members.
This is an outline in brief of the
results of the investigation to date,
but there are many details within
every reader's memory that will go
farther to show that it was very well
that it was undertaken, and that
Wolfe's labor of love has not gone for
nothing.
-The denth of William Lloyd Gar
rison, the veteran abolitionist, occurred
in New York last Saturday evening
about 11 o'clock. ,He had been ill for
some time, and his death was not un
expected. He was 74 years old on the
12th day of December. He was born
at Newburynort, and served an ap
prenticeship to a shoemaker, and then
engaged in the newspaper business.
In 1829 he became editor" of the Na
tional Philanthropist, a temperance
paper of Boston. Soon after he began
the agitation, for the emancipation of
the slaves Iu this country. He was
bold and aggressive, aud soon eurned a
national reputation. For his utterances
on this subject he was imprisoned on a
nominal charge of libel, but Arthur
Tappan, the New York merchant
paid his fine and he was released. In
1831 he lcgan the publication of the
Liberator, which he continued for
thirty-four years. The story of the
persecutions which he endured for the
right is too well known to require rep
etition. Pennsylvania has long furnished
all the contiguous States with building
timber, and has exported a vast
amount to foreign countries. When
ever some colossal structure is to be
erected in any part of the country, the
forests of the northweastern section
of the State are under contribution for
the beams and girders. There is
hardly an important public building
or bridge in the East, or possibly in
the West, that does riot contain Penn
sylvania timber. Recently the forests
of Northern Michigan have been
drawn upon for long beams, but until
within the last ten years the only tree
available for this purpose had to be
floated down the west branch of the
Susquehanna. The tremendous drain
on the forests, near to the rafting
streams, of Pennsylvania has robbed
them of all their tall trees, and the
lumbermen must now go further up
the creeks and into the more inacces
sible nooks in order to find the stately
pines which used to cover the whole
region with their sturdy growth. The
Philadelphia Press, accordingly, calls
for measures to prevent the wanton
destruction of the forests of the State
A writer in the British Medical
Journal, in a communication to the
editor In regard to the possible cause
of the recent outbreak of an epidemic
of sore throat at Darmstadt, says : It
is well known that women and chil
dren are in the habit of kissing pet
cats and dogs, especially when these
favorites are ill with discharge from
the nose, cough, and sore throat, and
even use their pocket handkerchiefs to
wipe away the secretion. I have seen
this done frequently. As such mis.
taken sympathy is exceedingly dan.
gerous, I think a notice in the Journal
to this effect would, tend to its dis
couragement. It is a common saying
that, "There I the cat has got a cold ;
now it will go through the house;
and, as this remark has been repeat,
edly verified, it shows bow careful
people should be to avoid contact with
such a mode of contagion. I do not
affirm that this was the way in which
the disease was contracted, either
within or without the palace walla,
but I feel sure the habit of kissing pets
is a source of dancer that should be
widely known and prevented."
