In the United States Senate Tues day Mr. Vest introduced a bill to in- corporate tne Atlantic ana jracinc Snip KMlway company, it recites that tfee government at Mexico nas granted James B. Eads, of St. Louis, certain Dowers and privileges in the matter of the construction and oper ation of a ship railway across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with an ac cessory railway, telegrauk lines and water approacn.es, and has authoriz ed Eads to obtain a cnarter tor a company, eitner in Mexico or else where. The bnl provides tnat the said -Eads and those who may be as sociated with htm be created a cor porate body, with the usual rights and restrictions, sections provides that the government of Mexico havs ing guaranteed that one-third of the annual net revenues of the company witt for the period of fifteen years af ter the completion or the ship rail way amount to the sum of $t,250.000 annually, the government of the Un ited States guarantees tnat toe otner two-thirds of the annual net reven ues of the company will, for the per iod of fifteen years after the ship rail way shall have been completed, an nually amount to the sum of $2,500,s 000. And the U nited States obligates itself to pay to the company at the expiration of each year during this period any sum required to make the two thirds or its annual net reveue amount to this sum. Whenever the company snail nave completed tne ship railway and shall have construe ted the necessary terminal wort to transfer vessels from the water to the railway, the President shall, at the request oi the company appoint a board of engineers, consisting of three members, and if the company shall, in their presence, transport a loaded vessel weighing not less than 3,000 tons at an average speed of not tess than six miles per hour, upon the ship-railway, and place the same in the harbor on the other sides of the Isthmus without injury to the vessel, railway or the terminal work, such facts shall be reported to the secreta ry of the navy, and the guarantee of the United States shall attach from the date of the transportation of the vessel. Should Eads or the company deem it advisable to unite any por-. tions of the ship railway by a canal, he shall have a right to do so, and the canal for the purposes of the act, shall be considered as a portion of the .ship railway; provided, however, that the rate of speed of six miles an hour shall not apply to the canal. The remaining eleven sections pro vide in substance for regular state ments of the company's earnings; issue of bonds by the company to pay the sums advanced unless the net revenues shall exceed $3,750, ouo, when one third oi such excess shall be at once paid to the Secretary of the Treasury in payment of bonds of oldest date. In consideration of the government's guarantee, the corns pany shall transport during tne nts teen years of the guarantee all gov- ernmernment vessels, property, mails and officials, and transmit all govern ment telegraph messages for the gross annual sum of $500; for thirty years the company shall transport all coast wise vessels owned by citizens of the United States at 75 per cent, of the regular tolls: the United States shall have the right to be represented in the board of directors of the company by two ninths of the whole number; no vessels of war, munitions, troops or contraband of war of any nation at war with the United states or Mexico shall be transported upon the railway.

If, as Mr. Cleveland says, the couns try is trembling on the threshold of a business revival, it will strike the average American citizen as a bad time to throw the fat in the fire by revolutionizing our financial policy and contracting the currency, or even checking its expansion. The flusher business is the more currency is needed, and if we stop the little in crease of silver, how are we going to provide for the constantly enlarging needs for money in tne country ( Cabinet;Factory Burnett. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 16. Jas. W. Cooper's cabinet factory, a four story brick building, on 17th street and Washington avenue, burned this morning.

C. 3,557. Wheat eaten by insects, from L. W. Anderson, Walnut Cove, referred to Prof. Geo. F. Atkinson, who reported in substance thereon : The insect is the larva of a beetle (probably of the family Cucujidon Nutulidon). Can be destroyed by kilnsdrying at 167 deg. F. for 12 hours. Such insects injure grain so frequently in Europe that they have to use insect mills, something like large coffee roasters, through which the grain is passed to be agitated, heatf d and the fanned, before being stored. Another plan is to fumigate in a close chamber with the gas from burning charcoal, which is said not to injure the grain, either as to taste or germinating power. Grain should be kept cool, well ventilated and moved Irequently. If insects are noticed, pass the grain through a fan, at least. 3,196. A gentleman in Lenoir coun ty sent me last March a piece of the heart of the hog with this statement : "Last Wednesday I killed and cut up a hog that weighed 183 lbs., and found the things which I send you in this vial all through the lean part of he meat,! and ..also Iin the . heart. They seem to be in rows, two or three in a row. The hog was fat. but it took a long time to fatten him. The hogs look like they have the mange, draw up and will not grow. Their noses look too large. They eat well, and sometimes live a year and then die. I have written this, and send the things to get help or advice how to help myself." The following was our report : The vesicles are the encysted form of a common tape-worm, or cysticer cus cellulosus. The disease in hogs is known as "Measles," and is usual ly contracted in the first case bv ac cess to the excrement of persons har boring a tape worm (Taenia solium). It is likely that all of the hogs m the range with this one, as described in your letter, are infested with this dangerous parasite. This parasite has three stages of life, or forms : Jbirst. The eggs, which come in multitudes from the fully developed tape worm or third stage, and may be taken into the hog's or man's sys tem from tne excrement or a person having tape worm, or in drinking water, salads and other vegetable substances eaten raw or partly cook ed. The eggs, thus taken, work into the muscular system, especially the muscles of the throat and heart. This is a severe and dangerous disease in the human, producing an irritation of the muscles and getting into the brain, it causes a painful death. Second. In the muscles of the man, or hog, the eggs multiply and lodge themselves in these cells. The cells are apt to be larger about the throat and heart, though they infest and irritate all the muscular tissues. In this form t is known as Cysticer cus Cellulosus. Third.

Of course, it is your duty to de stroy all this meat, and, as it is al most certain that the other hogs de scribed have the disease too, you should isolate them from all other animals at once and kill them as soon as possible. You might work their carcasses into soap-grease and use the residue when thoroughly boiled as a fertilizer, it is sucn a dangerous thing, both to hogs and men, that l am sure you will use every precaution. A similar case was found at Hickory in 1883. It is not an uncommon disease, and swine breeders ought to be familiar with these faults. CHARLES W. DABNEY, Jr. Director.
