He was atliiotcd in a peculiar way. He had a sore on the instep of his foot about ten months ago. The sore was poulticed. The outer skin peeled off, and it is nl- j leged that, an innumerable number of worms f shut their heads out at the surface. Abrasions , t of the skin were afterwards made in otherjc places when the worms appeared as before. 11 ills flesh seemed to he lull of very small <J worms. As far as wo arc informed, lie made) \ no effort to get medical aid until the day bo- j t tore he died. A physician was to go to see 11 him on the day of his death. It is reported c the disease Is that which is imparted t*> the j human system by eating diseased raw bacon, if but the doctors ?lo not believe this, though 11 they did not see the patient."?Press a?c/|si Banner. j a I wish to say a few words upon this subject which possibly may be a profitable lesson to; \ your readers, and our people generally. [ i Five years airo a few French and German la- j ti borers lost their lives by eating diseased meat, r Af Anno nn invovl iimtinn wn? nrflr*P(?fl tt'llitth i 1 resulted in a report, that this meat was Im* J ported from America, that It was infected 11 with trichinae, and that it was fatul to the c consumer whether man or beast: and there- I fore a prohibitory tnriir was Immediately lev- j led by the French and German governments 3 upon all salt meats imported from America, r Tbis branch of onrcommerce amounts to no t little proportion of our entire exportatlons, s for we shipunnually millions of dollars worth c of bacon and hams to Ihe large cities of En- i rope. 11 I have known of orders coming from Euro- a peun houses to shippers In this country atone I time for a million pounds of hams, and a mil- t lion pounds of I). O. It. S. sides. So you can 11 well understand that this French and Ger-' r man embargo excited the "powers that be" in I r this conn t ry. |c Mr. Arthur through his Secretary of State v ordered an investigation of this matter through our Foreign Consuls, but I never saw | r 11 reported result of the investigation. Subsc- ] J rmoni.lv 1 1h> Treasury DeDartnu.-nt ordered 11 our custom ofilces to examine ull the meats !\ that were shipped ah road, and report whether i or not any of it was infected. This also proved a to be futile because Impracticable. Again the Secretary of the Treasury ordered an invest!- S cation through his statistical bureau, which I" resulted merely in the publication of a report, e previously Issued by tin* agricultural depart- li ment. That department had appointed a com- j inittec or experts to look Into this maiter and n report upon it. I Vigilant ns Americans usually are this committee determined to see whether or not these ti German laborers, who lost their lives from j r eating diseased meat, had eaten American or I 'I German meat. Their report showed that by 3 analysis trichinae were found in German and ; F French bacon, as well as In American meats. 1 The report put a sort of quietus upon the sub- ti ject of shipping American meats lo European ? ports. It proved nevertheless t hat occasional u shipments of American meats were discovered badly infected with trichinae. !0 Now the question arises, what is, or what I to are trichinae? To state it plainly, they arei? small animalcules Invisible to the naked eye, I " and frequently found by the myriads In the 11 flesh of hogs. They arc indistrustable by cold i or salt, but will be destroyed by heat brought j to the boning point or water. 11 consumed oy >< man In :i piece of meat, which has not been s heated sufficiently to destroy them, they per- K forate the consumer's stomach, infuse them- ' selves into hi> llesh, place him beyond tlie 1' control of mediciue, and very certainly de- ' stroy liis life. Now it is very easy to imagine the negro, or s almost any laboring: man, in Ills eareicss u method of prepnringhis food, frying or even v boiling a piece of this infected meat and eat- d ing it before the centre of the meat had been ?/i Vw.ilii..r Imnl nnrl tlluruC.V'O lll?. T coming a victim of this terrible death. I dare t, say, that nine-tenths of your readers will before Saturday night breakfast or dine on t north-western bacon or hams. Are they sure e that, there are no trichinae in any of this v meat ? Let them beware, for there is scarcely *' ii week that the papers do not- announce the ! t death of one or more members of a family in | i?nr north-western States from eating this In- j e fee l ed meat. I The moral I would draw from this would he, | that our people should grow their own hog j n meat, for beyond a doubt this infected meat " showed itself in a diseased live hog. A thr?e t months old essex pig can be grown with Iosk 1> labor, care and expense than n brood ol chickens, and contains twice the amount of whole- 11 some, delicious food. I' Very respectfully, 0 I).

Searles' ust we&k fishing and hunting. We are not 1 ible to report the success, but heard they got i few fish and some came. The (Jrelghton ticket election for two more Vardens came o(F Friday last nnd resulted t n the election of Messrs. U M. Chamberlain 1 indW. V. Ludwicks. None of the Trayior < arty voted at the above election, or we have i lot heard of any one who did. The manganese hands nre in a lot oftrou)le. The report from Europe of the returns 1 if the manganese shipped there last fall, < nought the sa:l intelligence, that there was j ust enough money to pay the royalty to Mr. . ilct^ormick and the shipping expenses, and ' lone for the hands. Their faces are long and ] hey walk about as if in a trance. You can j ee them in conference at alt times of the . lay. It seems that they worked with the pos- ' tive intention ?>l receiving their pay as soon 1 ,s the manganese was sold in Europe. "\Vc -\ .re sorry for tliem for we know that it was . lard work and they should by all means get heir justly earned money. We are notable 1 osay whether the mines will be worked any s iioit' ur iiwi., ]iiuaiiiiiciM'v me. The Company are considerably in debt- , il to these hands, and no money to pay them tli. It is certainly a bad state of affairs. 1 ilncc writing tlie above we saw Mr. Jas.

D. Wadlcy, Superintendent, of the 1 livanmth Vallcv Railroad was in town on ] Viday and Saturday, looking after the moil- \ y that was iu the safe at this place to pay oil' . lis hands. tmnH/imnn r>i m r> tin frnin Mt.

' Dr. J. J. Seigler is in town again, ready to , ake out your old snags and give you a new et of teeth for a little money. Ho lie always Ives it-out. Several persons from town went out to Maileton, or "Sweet Iiasy," where Col. T. X. I)al- , Is lives, to church last Sunday. A gentleman in town named his la?t two ! onsPalil and Silas.

Mr. Jack Cox is speaking strongly of retiming to California. 11 is intentions arc to ngage in the mines out there. He has worked there before both in gold, silver and opper mines.

H. S. A REALLY NEAT PRINTING OFFICE, V Field for Women "Which Has Heretofore Keen Little Cultivated. There was some talk in a group uptown ;be other day about the avocations thxt are >pen to women, when a well-known journalst, who was at one time a printer, said: "There is a newspaper field for women ivliieh is very little cultivated. It is the conducting of local newspapers, tho weekly ionic papers of tho country towns that give ;he events of the locality in which they are jrinted. I v ant to te 1 you what I strjck n my travels wlen I wns playing tramp jrinter. It was in Massillon, Ohio.

All the rest of the work the e threj persons did. l'hey even ran the press on which they printed an edition of UCKi or 1,000. It was a power pre-s, one of the drum cylinder kind Lhat turned with a big crank. Occasionally they sent out and hired a man to turn this press for them on publication day, but oftm Lhey worked the press themselvo% They were none too rich and they saved this expense if possible. j.uo peculiar leature or tno otnce was its sxtreme neatness. There were no piles of lirt swept up into corner.-s. There was no :,pi" under the ttands tbat bore the oases, rhere was a pot or two of flowers in cach window and a canary biid-san * in a cage ibove the typo-rack. Tho old tramps ranging through tho country then used to go in find take a look at the office, it was iifferent from anything else they saw anywhere. They used to shake their heads and go off muttering. They never asked for work. They knew that they couldn't spit tobacco juico on the floor of such an office, rhoro was no 'hell box' in which to dump their 'pi' and it didn't seem homelike to them. So they gave it a w.do berth." ' What became of tho proprietors." "They got married. Their weddings wore within the same month. Tho office was sold to a man. Tho flowers wilted. The canary died.

They c onsisted of cho be.st quality of wide ribbons, each diderail t in c o.or, and each long enough for a sash. The end-; were exquisitely painted and elged with an elaboiately mads fringe. Une end of cach was drawn over a ring which was fast.me I below the chandelier. and carried to the lady's place for whom it was designed.
