Blair, of Hun , argues that the organic matter ::mv have largely come from spa;v. a:ii that showers of stiil liying gen.i :n:;y explain the sudden ap- h;u;i;. a;id rapid spread of many liit ri.- epidemics. In the literature accessible, Maiselis last y, Mr found recorded 305 cases of sec u ; attacks of smalt-pox, and 0 of thir.i arta.-ks; 21) of second attacks of scarlet fever, and -4 of third; o(J of sec ond ;i; lacks of measles, and 1 of third; 2)1 of second attacks of typhoid fever, and ! third; and -1) of second at tacks oi cholera, and li of third. Only case- of lourth -attacks I of typhoid fever;! :ai '2 of cholera were discover ed. Su raberg, in a recent paper to liokt-U';i tJociety of Washington, liot. ii tlia: while the protection af forded by a single attack against a second is. in a considerable number of infections diseases generally perman ent, it i- in other diseases more or less temporary, and it varies not only with -the di-ea-e but with the individual, the family, and the race. In some dis oae such as pneumonia, influenza and A-iatic cholera it is 'difficult to .detera.in from clinical experience whether a first attack exerts any pro tection, but experiments on the lower animal- make it probable that a cer t;mi degree of immunity is afforded in all infections, due to bacterial para sites. In the malarial fevers, which are due to a parasite of a different class a tirst attack, on the contrary, rather, predisposes to a -subsequent 4)ne. The principle factor in the pro lu etion of acquired immunity is now believed to be the introduction into theh'oodof some substance capable f iH-n'rali.ing the toxic products of the particular pathogenic organism to be resisted, or of destroying the genu itself.

If. tils Usual Vein of Convincing, Humorous ArgUDint 11 Defi.s Ajx. Carlisle. Several weeks ago ex-Governor Proctor Knott, oi Kentucky, wrote a private letter to Senator Blackburn concerning the currency question, then being considered by the senate. Th? letter was not intended for publi cation, but Senator Blackburn, being impressed with the force of Governor Knott's arguments, gave it to the press. Among other features of the letter Was the following paragraph written in Govrrnor Knott's charac teristic style: 1 do not know w hen my democra cy hvx been more completely outraged than by the last insolent demand of the goldite that the government shall issue $5C0, (XX), 000 in gold bonds and re tire the treasury note circulation with the piocceds. They don't seem to want to leave us even a hereafter. You know, as every bedy else mmt who hs half xs much sense its' a sucking guinea pig, that whenever this gov ernment agrees to pay that amount, or a tithe of it, in gold, silver is doom ed, so far as we are concerned, to all eternity. As old Judge Forbish said to Johnnie Moore, it had 'Jest as well sny good by world and howdy hell.' Great God! How rapidly this Iong suffering people ate being driven to the dreadful alternative of slavery or interneeiia strife to determine whether tin y will tamely hold out their bunds and have the shackles of a remorseless plutociacy riveted upon their wrists or fight. Xow, mark what 1 say: if the inexorable, law of cause and effect has not been expunged from the. statute hoot of ihe 'Almighty,' un less a halt is called, p. d. q.. you may ejcpec.t to sec the horrors of the French revolution put on the.

'Secretary Carlisle txhn announced thitt if it became necessary he pioposed to go to Kentucky to de iend the all it uce of the administra tion on the in icncy question. In a l:ng letter to The Louisville Cour;r-Jouti:ftl. ex Governor Knott, writing from his home in Danville, Kr., discusses the currency question in a most interesting manner and de fends every line of his letter to Sena tor Blackburn. , - By way of reference to the criticism oLthw patronage press 'and the cuck oos, the governor issues the following highly interesting challenge to Secre tary Carlisle, who it will be seen is not having smooth sailing in his own state. Governor Knott says: "1 shall be more than compensated for all the -unfriendly criticism it has brought, upon.qie if it should turn out to be true, as stated by the Washing ton correspondent of The Courier Journal, that it has provoked a deter mination in our distinguished secreta ry of the treasury to stump the state in defense ot the 'financial policy of the administration, ' for if there is any thing in the history of the human fam ily since the fall of the primeval pair which stands moie in need of defense I have never heard ot ii. "That eminent financier seems, how ever, to be laboring under a 'Misappre hension which iti. perhaps, my duty to correct. If the correspondent to whom 1 have jus: refei red lias repre sented him truly, he regards my let ter as a direct attack upon himself by those Kentucky democrats who do not favor his riuaiicial views.'

He may rest assured th. t his wish will be gratified; 'that the fight wiil be an open one, Kentucky democrats make no - other kind. He must have forgotten their mode of welfare during his long ab ene from their midst if lie supposes they light from ambush. They are anxious to see him again They hare repeatedly regretted that they were compelled to rely on others to battle for their principles in other contest, and that they were even abandoned to all the horrors of the present constitu tion, because he was so deeply eu grossed in the investigation of great political questions which cauld be ex plored on this side of the Alleghenies. It is hoped, therefore, that he will not disappoint them now. They are hun gerinr ami thirstiug after information upon many points in financial history for the past two years which he is pre eminently qualified to give them. They may not ask hiiji, perhaps, to recite that memorable prissege w-hieh raug.out like a trumpet uxll to the co horts of 'free silver' in his speech of February 21. but they will no doubt expect him to reconcile it with his present 'financial view. I ne'-d not. however, enumerate the topics he will probably be asked to iliscuis. He will . doubtless have plenty to talk about. Nor will he lack an audience. Crowds will gather whh dium beat ing and banners waving, oi rh;p. 'Whim Johnnie con es mulching home.' but in their midst he will find thousands of sturdy old democrats "who still believe that the principles so often promulgated by" their party ar nor a mere 'delusion and a snare;' who have not yet learned t bow the knee to I3aal,MY kisa- the leet of the Golden calf: who are still true to the faith de livered by the fathers.' and who will not be at all terrified by his coming.
