PROTECTION reaps where it hath sown. Free trade scatter eth abroad.

THE city treasury haa not yet been looted, nor will it be while the city watch dogs are on guard.

EVAKSVILLB continues th« mule care and wants to be aaseased under the old law. It is a progressive city.

THE mete, are no nearer the city's utrong box than at any time in the past. They will be unable to break through the barricade.

EVANSVILLK may carry off the honors in baseball, but she will be compelled to pay her taxes under the new 'law the same as honest people.

THS Enquirer, of Cincinnati, predicts Campbell's defeat if nominated. Of late years it has become the belief of the people that it is the safeet to defeat the man whom the Enquirer favors.

IK the Express could only witness the court pass a sentence on the city attorney, put him in a dungeon and feed him on bread and water, its happiness would amount to an actual delirium.

-OOL. K. W. THOMPSON reached the 821 anniversary of his birth yesterday, and received the congratulations of a lar«e circle of personal friends and prominent citissens of this city and elsewhere.

A ST. LOUIS divine is quoted as giving it as his opinion that protestant creeds are in course of Bteady decay and must crumble away. No doubt the creeds will suffer as long as there are imitators of Judas. But Judas had the good sense to go oil' and suicide.

THE Evansville Courier is a "jam up" good paper and is given to wit and sarcasm occasionally. Hear it:

The free schools of Indiana are the children ofthe Democracy. We fear they do not take kindly to their offspring down in the pocket.

THE metropolitan board sought to have the court compel the city force to report to Meagher for duty. The court said it had no {authority to do such a thing. The most it could do was to allow the metropolitan board to temporarily till the places of the city patrolmen who refused to report to Meagher.

THE free trade papers are agreed that the people of the country are opposed to a tariff and reciprocity. Then why the deuce do they waste so much valuable space and brain power in the attempt to make the people believe that the tariff is robbery? They might devote this waste to breaking down the pension laws.

THE Evausvillo (Lamasco) Courier refers to a Mr. Chas. Meyer, of Indianapolis, in very complimentary terms as a successful business man and a miUionaire—and one who wante to comply with the new tax law. The Courier says be was taxed last year on $84,000 this year his assessment is put down at $185,000! If a millionaire, how's that?

A SPASM of virtue haa attacked the saloons. But then it's juat like all other spasms from that source—self interest. They propose to discover the unlicensed saloons that are doing business. Now if they will do this and furnish the proof to the city attorney the ©aid law will be applied, and THK NEWS will give them full credit for their good work.

IT IS said the devil has a decided antipathy to holy water, but it not a circumstance to the smouldering fins of hate which the Express bean King and Stimson. But then King and Stimson have become used to the attacks of the liquor league and its organ. Their at* tacks are but praise iu the eyes of all decent people.

THE Express was in a happier frame of mind this morning than lor several days. It is owing to the fact that it has the imprmsion that the action of the court yesterday was another tarn of the screws on the throat of the city. It finds decided comfort in anything that ha# a tendency to fasten the metropolitan shackles more tightly on the city and the people.

I* does not follow by an? means that a defacto official that is one who is really acting in an official capacity, can claim pay tor hi# aerrteea or obtain pay at law •imply because he doe# seme*. The facta a# to his tenure enter Into the merits of the case.

The government paid twelve per cent for money in a time of peace. There was a period of treasury bankruptcy lor you.

THE action of the superior court yesterday gave the metropolitans authority to fill up the 'ranks of the police force temporarily only, provided the cUy men did not report to Meagher. "Well, the city force did not do so, nor will not do so. Meagher called upon them to either return or turn over their maces and badges, which are city property, but the city force informed Meacher that they would not comply, nor they did not Now let the met board make its appointments of patrolmen to take the place of of the city force if they wish to. They will have the opportunity of serving without any pay!from the city treasury

GROWING DESPERATE.

The metropolitan police board this morning took a new turn in the police affairs, determined, if possible, to more thoroughly strangle the city and set themselves up as dictators of a free peo. pie. They or their agents caused the city police board, the city attorney, 8. B. Stimson, Caiy Stimson and the city patrolmen to be cited before the circuit court to answer such questions as may be put to them. Of course the questions relate to a determination to fix upon the city attorney an act in contempt of the injunction of the circuit court by advising the city patrolmen to refuse to return to the authority of Con Meagher. It is an attempt of the despicable gang to trap City Attorney Stimson. They will miserably fail in their object. It is one of the most high handed attempts yet made to throttle and bind the shackles of the metropolitan despotism on the people of Terre Haute. The parties named were cited to appear forthwith in "the circuit court. But the metropolitans will fail in their object. The city attorney has done nothing in contempt of that injunction.

llffbtnlnff Stops tM« Review. BERLIN, June 10.—Lightning struck the temple this morning in the presence of the emperor, who was exercising a body of grenadiers on the parade ground. The discharge was EO heavy that a number of men were stunned and knocked down. Captain Van Anast in command of the troops was rendered insensible and three soldiers were prostrated seon afterward, another soldier was badly injured and one horse was killed.

*£T-i*

Wisdom cautions us not to think too slightingly of small things but whan things aro ,too small for eyes to see

we aro apt to think that thay

concern no one save tho infatuated microsoopist Wo ordinary people would be quite content to ignore there, Provided only that they would let us

In return. But the small thinga called "microbes'* will enter into no Btuah compacts. However tiny they, are, no one can call them insignificant, for thay have probably killed more people and destroyed more property than have all the famous soldiers froni Sisera to Bisinarok.

Microbes, nowadays, lay down the law to physicians, surgeons, hospitalnames and architects. Some of the greatest ralnHw of our time spend their best efforts in studying the maimers and customs of these microscopic beIngs, and the books and pamphlets which, have been written about them are numerous enough to make a library in themselves. These have all Veen

Eave

ubllshed since 1860, and most of tliem appeared within the last decade for though nature has kept a large supply of microbes constantly on hand since the days of Adam, and though they have been all around us, and even within us, yet until very recently they have eluded the observation of the whole human race.

The term "microbe' *la a new one, and probably it will not be found in the reader's "Webster" or "Worcester." It is derived from two' Greek words meaning "small lif*" Microbes axe living things so minute, that "forty billions of them

may

weigh less than

one grain." They are generally supposed to be plants! but some students believe that they possess, toavery slight degree, some animal senses and powers. £mnr\g organisms so small, and so low In the scale of creation, the line of division between the animal and the vegetable kingdom is not clearly drawn. It may be that these microscopic beings, like the so-called coral "insect," nartake of the nature of animal and plant.

As a sunflower develops from a seed, or an oak from an acorn, the microbe grows from a tiny, round "spore." These spores are everywhere, and so are the microbes, which are spores grown up. They float in the air in myriads, and they oan be distinguished from dust, under the microscope, by their forms. They gxe washed down by filing rain, and the first drops of shower are full of them. The number these little organisms in the atmosphere varies according to the hour, the season, the temperature, the humidity, or the force and direction of the wind. A French scientist has discovered thai they are very abundant about eight o'clock in the morning. Their number decreases until noon, and then Increases again towards sunset. "At about eleven o'clock p. m.," says the naturallist, "the. outdoor air is more impure

at

any other hour in the twenty*

four and hence people who are early to bed have science as well as proverUal philosophy on their side."

Some microbas aro found in the cells of water-plants. Many dwell in the soil, and these are useful in changing inert mineral Bubstances—quartz, mica or hornblende into food for our flowers and vegetables.

All the tissues of healthy living animals contain microbes In large numbers. Some float in the blood of fishea.. Soma salt-loving forms live in the tearducts, and some inhabit those fine tubes which carry perspiration to the surface of the body. There are some in the Stomach, and many in the intestines. The blood is free from them, except in two diseases—anthrax and recurrent fever but the saliva is full of them at all times. In fact, each of ns is literally "a host in himself.**

A few microbes dwell in fresh water stagnant water teems with them. They an mixed with mud, dust or snow. They flow in every rivulet, float as motes in every sunbeam, and fly by every breeze. Th$y arc scattered everywlware and aome, favored by chance, •arrive, and prodacc countless progeny.

If these uravrfdablo little thinga were all fKnsonona, the human race would have eomc toan end long ago tack many of them, fortunately for us, an perfectly harmless.

Some

spawns,

Vttfc Injure our possessions. These are misehief-makm which spoil meat and sour cream. Stagnation, death and decay swarm with life when viewed

These little spoilers arc checked, or killed outright, by cold. Thm areas sensitive to itss those ants which ths scientist TyodaSl observed tm the Al^ pine dupe. The ran was warm, but here aad there, on the mountain side, theses were patches of snow. The ants were running about in the warm grass, and oa the warn rocks does by. Tyodali pet some of them on the snow, and In A few seconds,

vrnen they were moved back to the warm rock they immediately became lively again but when they were replaced upon the snow the death-like numbness seized upon them once more.

The same is true of microbes and this is the whole philosophy of the preservation of meat by cold, and the reason for the existence of the iceman and tho icebox. When the fishmonger surrounds his wares with ice he benumbs the microbes which cause decay, so that they cannot grow and multiply. So long as they are held in check, the fish will remain sweet and sound.

Tho body of a hairy elephant was found encased in Siberian ice. It had been there for ages, yet when the flesh was, at last, laid bare, It was perfectly fresh, and made a welcome feast for.the wild beasts of that region.

Warmth wakens microbes into astonish ing activity and this is why one hot day is so disastrous to butchers and dairy men. Great heat, however, de-j stroys them and so we can preserve meat by partially cooking it, and boil, milk to prevent it from turning sour,

Thus the butchcr, milkman, fish-j monger and housekeeper are all affectedj by the tiny microbe but the person who has the deepest interest in its nature .and conduct is the doctor. It has- been established by microsopic study that these minute organisms bring about many of the ills our flesh* is heir to, and so great an authority as Pasteur thinks that all infectious and contagious diseases are caused by them.

Maladies inflicted by microbes are called, by the medical fraternity,4'germ diseases." Of this nature are leprosy, hydrophobia, pneumonia, diphtheria, erysipelas, yellow fever and cholera, find recent discoveries have added to the list consumption, that dread scourge: which kills one-seventh of the entire' human race.

Each disease is produced by one sort' of microbe, with its own distinctive habits and personal appearance. Thus, the mischief-maker which causes cholera begins its evil career as a globe with a tail, looking like a tadpole or a, comma. As it grows older it assumes the form of the letter C, the figure 3, or1 the figure 8, or it presents a wavy outline, like that of a distant bird upon' the wing. It lives in the intestines, and grows and multiplies there with1 wondrous rapidity. In so doing it produces a chemical poison.

Like ourselves, animals fall a prey to invisible foes, which cause chicken cholera in the poultry yard and glanders in the stable. Caterpillars and insects suffer from distresses caused by the attacks of like tiny enemies, and even plants are not exempt, for a microbe causes the "yellow disease" of hyaoinths, and the despair of the window gardener.

Our invisible enemies are terrible in spite of their smallness, because of the^ tremendous forccs which they can bring into the field. Tho sober statement of their powers of increase sounds like a bit of extravagance from the "Arabian Nights." It is estimated that, given ample room, congenial temperature, and abundant food, al single microbe will multiply so fast thirc there will be fifteen millions of them at the end of twenty-four hours.

Science begins to distinguish one sort of microbe from another as olearly as unscientific people distinguish a rose from a buttercup. Each known variety bears a name many times as big as itself. And just as the botanist recognizes the tuberose, "the hyacinth and tho humble asparagus, as related members of one great order—the lily family—tho microscopist classifies into a few g*oups the many microbes he takes cognizance of. »"'/%,# ,1

Some appear under tne lehses as motionless specks, and these are called "monads," "monera," or "micrococca." Some are long, narrow and still, and lie in the field of the microscope like scattered sticks. These, are called "bacteria" or "bacilli," "little rods." Some aro like short rode with rounded ends. Some look and act like eels and some resemble corkscrews, and are forever in motion, alternately relaxing tightening their coils. Some mass together, and some join end to end, forming living chains.

Slnco the scientist has introduced iiiTwiealf to the microbc there has been little short of a revolution in the practice of medicine and surgery. There have been most important changes in the management, and even in the structure of hospitals.

The study of microbe, or bacteria, as they are often called, is now a distinct science known as "bacteriology." It is yet in its infancy but already this protnising infant has prevented the impending loss of valuable property, spared humanity an immense amount of pain and sorrow, saved many lives, and led to other beneficial and practical results which could at be even briefly mentioned In the limits of one Short article.—E. M. Hardinge, in Demorest's Monthly. ^,

The Fashionable Handkerchief. The maiden fair of olden time who used to wave her White handkerchief to the Knight departing to fight her battles, would open her eyes very wide if ihe could see the handkerchief to-day. rhe most fashionable are made of crepe 3sse, with an embroidered edge and in ivcty color imaginable, from brilliant gcariet to pale Nile-green, and from jet black to clear white. Some very unique effects are prodneed by contrast of solor. The black handkerchief is usually a square of silk muslin, with a full frill of fine black laoe about it. Any girl can easily make one of these for herself. For every day use the white tuuidkcrchlefof lawn, with a narrow hemstitched border, a very narrow one, and a fine frill of lace—Valenciennes— not half an inch wide, about it is preferred.

It was eleven o'clock at night, and I was going to my room in a Florida hotel, when a woman came out of her room, fully dressed, and aeked: "Do you belong to the hotel?" "No, ma'am." "Are there many people here tonight?" "It is crowded." "And it won't do to start a panic. Let me say quietly to you that the hotel is on fire. I have known it for ten minutes, but did not want to create an excitement." "Are you stire, ma'am?*' I asked. "Entirely sure, sir. I smelled the smoke while in bed. You go quietly down and tell the clerk, and I will knock on all the doors on this floor." 8he was wonderfully cool and collected, and I never thought of doubting her assertion. Going down by the stairway, I beckoned the clerk aside and told Ihlm of the fire. lie went to the elevator with me and ascended to the third floor, where we found about twenty half-dressed people in the hsfll. The woman who had given me orders came up and said: "Come this way. I don't think the fire has much of a start yet", S

We followed her tdKher room' and began to sniff and snuff. Inhere was certainly a strong odor of something burning, but tho clerk had taken only one sniff when he went out and rapped on the next dobr. "Hello!" called a voice. "Arc you smoking?"

Two others are of solid silver, with very soft, clear tones. The great bell cast during the reign of Catherine has been consecrated as a chapel, the door being an aperture six feet high by aeven wide at the base, made by the piece Veighing eleven tons, which broke and fell out during the fire of 1787, when water came in contact with the heated metaL This bell is twentyone feet high, twenty-one feet, six inches in diameter, twenty-four inches tfrioU and weighs 482,000 pounds or over 200 tons. Some authorities give the weight as 4*4,000 pounds or *S0 tons. It has bas-reliefs of the Emperor snd Empress, the Saviour, ths Virgin Mary and the evangelists. Another bell about half aa large required twenty-four men to ring It, and this was done by polling the clapper.—E. EL Goss, In New England Magazine.

GEN. ROBERT SCHENCK.

Robert^ Schenck was for many years an Ohio Congressman, then a Major-General during the war, and finally Minister to England. He was taken ill. The best physicians in England and on the Continent said he had Bright's disease of the kidneys and** gave him at the most but a few weeks to live. Gen. Schenck returned to America and went upon a small farm in Vermont. Here he lived entirely upon skim milk, not eating a particle of starch. The result was that ho prolonged his life twenty years living to tho ripe age of 84, and he has only just died, full of years and honors. This shows that kidney trouble in its worst forn can bo cured. In itH earler stages it should be met by Reid's German Cough and Kidney Cure. In almost every caso no further treatment is necessary and the patient will recover without resorting to a special diet. It contains no poison. For sale by by all druggists, 25 and 50 cents a bottle.
