THE PELLAGRA. KAZTSAS HEARD FE02T. Mr. David Goes is one of the most successful stock farmers in thie vicinity. Last December he shipped a ear-load of fat s'eers and hogs which brought him $1,100 and $3-50 respectively.

He raised 5,000 bushels of corn last year, and expects to do Better this season. Although be is blind, he superintends all his own work, notelng is dona about the farm that he does not know of, aud not a man goes to his herd to buy cattle but he goes along. He sent 100 cattle out to a rans in Anderson county last week. Pleasanton Observer.

Furthermore he declared that such an oath would be binding: upon hie conscience, and hie constituent are satisfied. The oath la one which any Christian, Mahem-dan or Jew would aay was sufficient, but the Conservatives under the lead of North oo te opposed hie admission on the ground that he is a free religionist.

Bradlaugh, speaking from the bar, gave the House bis word that an oath would be binding on his conscience. Mr. Gladstone asserted that the House had bo right to Inflict disability on a member who, it was admitted, bad no legal disqualification.

The Italian Government has published a book concerning the pellagra a fearful malady which effects agricultural laborers in certain districts in Italy, and known to some extent in France and Spain. It is characterized by a wasting away of the entire body until tbe patient, dried up, bard to the touch. Inert, apathetic, motionless, insentient, with sunken eyes and deadened look, becomes a mere mummy unconsciously awaiting the opening of bis grave.

From the fact that the disease ia unknown in the cities and towns, and prevails most in the rich but most heavily taxed provinces, it is believed that the wretched food the peasants are forced to live upon baa very much to do wilh the prevalance.

No charge was ever brought against him, and none ever will be, of corruption.

He represents a State that contains probably a third of the wealth of the Union, and a great many "jobs" are put through, no doubt, by his constituents, but Mr. Conkling has never had his hands soiled by being connected in any way with any questionable enterprise. The risks of the dead-lock are be that similar machinery is to be tried for propelling the torpedo-boats. With a larger engine heavier loads could be drawn; underground railways would not then be made stifling by the snl-phnrious smoke from steam locomotives, and horses would no longer be required on tramways. It is known that attempts have been made to propel vessels on rivers by ejecting a horizontal column of water from the stern.

This column, by striking against the surrounding water, supplied the propelling power, bnt it was not sufficient!
