The Tariff, i
The KeiYorki2?, in com-
mentfnff. on": a4: number:- of : letters
sent troin editors of North Carolina
and other Southern States,; in re
sponse to an enquiry as to what our
people thought of the tariff, - says
the Southern people snow qonsm-
erable indifference! and mn.irw ig
norance on this : subject. " This re
mark is true, but the tariff bids fair
to become i a liv e jssiie id the future
and when? it does so Income this
indifference will; quickly cease.'
On this "question there are.three
parties , about . equally ( ,. diyuiea.
First, those protectionists who - are
so afraid of any change that they
prefer to keep the present laws,
with. all their ineiualitie.s and in
justice, rather than risk a revision.
Second, the free tracers, or, as mey
prefer to over themselyes with a
doubtful phrase, ior a "tarin ior
revenue only.'? ' Third, those pro- j
tectionisls who; desire a revision
wliich'wiir protect -all that" needs
protection and j at the 6ame time
add to the free list raw material,
and equalize all products as nearly ;
as possible. This, t itiis; thought,
will reduce the' revenue to a point
easy to be borne, and vet pay off
the debt fast enough while keeping
the treasury full against all sudden
emergencies. viSijf
f The present condition of things
is' not by any means satisfactory.
First because the commission, re
cently appointed by - authority of
Congress, can never - be - so -organized
as to present a tariff -upon
which all .can agree.- Whatever
they, recommend will be torn ,t0
piecies by Congress.- The commis
sion; can by no possibility solve the
problem. It was only teamed.? for .
delays and that is all that can re-,
suit from it. ..This delay can only
exasperate those protectionists who
desire, and demand revision- and
if continued too long will '. .drive
them into "a reunion with the . free
traders' as the least of two evils
: -'; A maiority of the voters favdr
a
revision and .reduction j-,. and they
mean to have it. ; If the- high pro
tectionists continue to spend- time
and money to prevent revision, the
power will be . taken - from them
in , spite - of -all.' their - tricks,
"and when it is too "late they
will: mourn ; their lolly in "resist-
the '".will . r of -the people.
Everyday we bear of men in, the
Northl and, ;Vest who. have been

committed the offence the alleged
lunatic was laboring under acute
cerebral excitement amounting to
delirium the contention would be
absured.
The idea that because a man's
brain is affected he may be expect
ed to commit any sort of crime is
one often favored by experts called!
for the defence at criminal trials, i
Dut laets ao not uphold it : and it
has been authoritatively' reiected
by the most distinguished physicians
abroad Doctors Legrand du Saulle,
Blanche, Lays, Bergeron and oth
ers.: In short, the doctrine now accept
ed by French medical jurists is that
before a lunatic can be declared ir
responsible for a crime it 'must be
ascertained whether the symptoms
of his nialady predisposed him to
the perpetration of that, particu
lar crime. A lunatic may be ad
dicted to indecent acts ; it does not
follow that he will be blameless if
he commits a forgery. " Another
may be an habitual pilferer and yet
know perfectly well that he'has'no
business to take life. Lunatics in
confinement are constantly heard
using deadly threats against the
people;whe deprived them of their
liberty ; but even when they escape
it is seldom that they put these

The Cotton Outlook.
The cptton situation is becoming
interesting.! It appears that the
entire amount of cotton hauled
from the plantations since Septenv
ber 1 is 5,2J0,382Abales, of the av
erage weight of 474j pounds. ' At
this date last year there .was re
ceived from the plantations 6,3ol,
300 bales of the average weight of
486 pounds.. The actual differ
ence in the weight of the - bales is
rather more, than 12 pounds, it
taking 40 bales of this season to
make 3D of last. Making the calculation,-oar
present crop is equal
to only 5,138,423 bales of last year's
crop, showing a difference of 1,212,
883 bales;;:? The crop last year was
6,589,320 bales: At this time' last
year there were still on the planta
tions 238,000 bales. There are not
now 50,000 bales to come. The
real difference between the two
crops will bo more than 1,400,000
bales. This deficit is supplied by
the surplus cotton .on hand at the
beginning of the cotton year, and
the increased .receipts from India
and Egypt. Tne amount ot Amer-

(i oaies. i lie re-
year have
gainst 707,-
000 bales last year, and from Egypt
414,071 bales, against 372,382 bales
last year. The increased receipts
from these points are, then, in
round numbers, 500,000 bales.
The total consumption of Europe
and America last year was 8,407,
000 bales, of which 0,185,000 were
American cotton. Putting our crop
t o,200,000 ot the weight ot last
year, and adding m the supply on
hand we have 0,330,701 bales as
the total American supply, which
would just about meet the demand
if it could all be placed at the mills,
and if there were no increased con
sumption. There has however been
a very considerable increased con
sumption, and it is quite impossible
to put all the cotton at the mills ;
so it is apparent that American cot
ton will be scarce before the new
crop comes in. Its place, however,
to some extent can be supplied by
the increased shipments from In
dia, of which there are now 1,033,
000 bales on hand against 700,000
bales at this time last year. It
would seem that already 1GG,000
bales of this cotton have gone into
consumption in excess of what was
used up to this date last year. At
all events we must enter next year
with no stock at all on hand, and
the price of cotton will depend very
largely on the crop prospects.

- ljr. wesiey 3er Teaa a paer
entitled "Prevention of Tubercular
Disease in Man and Domestic An
imals," before the New York Acad
. emy of Science last evening.. This
Was called out by the recent re
searches of Dr.' Koch, Government
Adviser in the Imperial . Ilealth
department ot JtJeriin, who ; discov
ered that consumption could be
conveyed by inoculation.. He found
by microscopic examination of the
diseased organs of a great number
ot diseased men. and animals that
the tubercles were infected by iniu
ute parasites which her differentia-.
ted trom the surrounding tissue by
means of a special dye. Transfer
ring the diseased matter by inocu
lation to healthy, animals, he re
produced the diseased Jle culti
vated r the parasite artificially
through many generations,; and
again produced the disease by in
fectfnsr healthy anihials with these.
A natural discussion followed as to
the feasibility oft modify mg i the
tubercular virus by cultifationj and
using this in the lorm of vaccina
tion jas , a - means -to- prevent con
sumption. ' V - v
j The essayist last evening pointed
out that a related disease might be
transmitted from man to animals
by'means.; of inoculation, and back
from animals to man, 'thus giving
protection trom or lessening the
severity of, disease Pasteur, he
said, found ,tha t -his . chickens when
inoculated with a mitigated virus
of chicken!-cholera were -- fortified
not against this disease only, but
against., anthrax ; and it has also
been shown that when animals are
vaccinated with bovine virus, as in
propagating . vaccine to prevent
small-pox . in man, this operation
gives' immunity, to the animal from
other contagious.diseases. ? Though
this is not a principle to-be relied
upon no such f vicarious action in
other cases has been known , to
exist. Vaccination, as electricity,
the essayist, said, is a mysterious
agency that exists in life itself, and
all we can do is simply to render it
harmless, transform it into different
degrees of virulence, and modify
its character, as a preventative. -
I The essayist referred to a paper
witten by him in-1873, in which he
alleged the possibility of prevent-'
ing. consumption ...of the lungs in
mail. by means of vaccination with
the -) modified form .of ; tubereulosis
of. the bovine. , i Experiments in this
sort were, made by him.. But this j
modified virus : was' first rendered
harmless by : having , been carried
through a series of generations of
the bovine animal.. .-.
Dr. Miller . expressed thet belief
that at no distant day a preventive
for consumption would be found in'
vaccination. N. T. Sun. '

Ioubtfut Compliment.
Walter Scott had a favorite servant,
Tom Purdy, who thought his master
the brightest and the best man in the
two kingdoms. When he learned that
his master was "the great Unknown,''
the author of the famous novels that ev
erybody was talking about, Tom, with
true family pride, felt it his duty to
read them.
In due time he thought it also a duty j
to compliment his master. As they j
were walking together, he said,
'Sir Walter, one of your books has
been a great comfort to me this winter.'
"I am happy to know it, Tom," was
the reply.
'Yes, Sir Walter," continued the
honest soul, '-I don't know how I should
have got through the winter withtou
it."
'You don't mean so, Tom?' said the
pleased author.
"Yes,' said Tom. 'I'll tell you all
about it. You see I comes in from my
day's work tired out pretty well. I
sits down in my chair with your book
in 1113' hand, and a mug of beer on the
table. Then I cocks up my feet, all
comfortable, you know, and begins to
read. In five minutes I am fast asleep.'
Sir Walter laughed heartily, but
turned the conversation to other topcis.
Of the two general classes of speculators
in the stock market, those who try to
frown them down are called "bears."
A Chicago paper tells of a man who
was complaining that he had invested
a rather, large sum of money in . Wall
Street and lost it alb A sympathizing
friend asked him whether he had been a
'bull' or a 'bear.' He replied, 'Neither,
I was a jackass..'

X Slfasmoaie Action, ;; ; . ; V
The muscles are endowed, with con
tractile power. They tend of them
selves to draw their extremites toward
their centre. The hearf is a' double
hollow inuscle, - whose, alternate con
traction and dialation constitutes", its
'beating.':' The -contraction "throws
on 'the blood into "the System,-fand the
ailation opens the heart tor more.;; Ah?
workine '.of this -central encine so es
sential that its power to dilate and con
tract is, to some ; extent, provided for
within itself. So much so is this case
that the heart will beat for a consider

from a vigorous animal. ,

in a state of apparent rest, by simply
counteracting the contractile tendency.
In the case of the heart, the motor and
the contractile force aot alternately, ;, ,
If, through any cause, .the -.motor
force iss suddenly checked, the . muscles
yield to their, normal tendency, and. the
results it spasms. Hence spasms in the
dying do not generally indicate suffer
ing, for the nerves of sensation also, at
the same time, fall of their nervous
supply. 4 .
On the contrary, cramps in the limbs
at night, caused by an over . use of the
muscles, which has partially exhausted
the supply of motor force, are attended
with pain, inasmuch as there is no dim
inution of sensational nerve force
The arteries have a muscular coat,
by the action of which the arterial
blood isincresed or diminished. In, the
dying and often ,under other circum
stances the lessing of the motor-force
allows the arterial muscl to contract
along their entire course, thus greatly
diminishing the blood supply to all ner
vous centres, and lowering the power
of sensation. Hence, the act of dying
is ordinarily painless. Hence, too, the
pallor of the face.
