CAUSES OE TSE EISE PHYSIQUE OF J

The Men of the Empire-Past ?nd
Present.
[Befito (Oct. 8) Cor. of London Telegraph.]
In a leading; article that recently appeared
In your columna, It waa Justly observed that, de?
spite the fondness for and aptitude In athletic
sports characterizing the English people,
Britons of tbe present generation cannot boast
of greater size, width, weight and endurance
than were attained by their forefathers. This
statement, which I have no donbt is well
founded, suggested to me an Inquiry with re?
spect to tbe actual state of physical standard* |
In Prussia, as compared with their conditions
half a century ago, B h or tl y after the conclu?
sion ol tbe War of Emancipation, which lelt ]
Germany impoverished and enfeebled, though
victorious. The few trustworthy data I have
been able to glean npon this subject may not
be with out Interest for your readers. Norning
?trikes a foreigner, ?specially if he be a mili?
tary man, so forcibly upon entering Prussia,
either rrom Prance or Belgium, as the size ol
the soldiers, compared with the dapper but
under-sized legionaries he bas encountered In 1
the last named countries. The Prussian liner
ls nottmly a taller fellow than the French or
Belgian piooplou, but he ls stouter, heavier,
and stronger than either. On an average Ave
Prussian liners weigh as much as six French
Ugnards. This fact was satisfactorily estab-,
llshed during the last war, when the Dresence
of ?orne three hundred thousand French sol?
diers In Germany enabled military ethnolo- I
gists to ascertain with considerable accuracy
the ms In differences in the physical materials
of which the hostile armies were composed.
The ?leven-stone man may be Bald to predomi?
nate throughout the Prussian army, putt log
trw Guards'corpsout of the question; and In
one or two of the provincial corps-aa, for in?
stance, the second, (Pomeranian,) the Bran?
denburg, and Weatpbaliau corps-unless I am
?noll mistaken, there are often as many
twelve-stone as ten-stone men. Tbe infantry
of the Guard and Guard Landwehr presenta
body of mea . numbering between forty |
thousand and fifty thousand whose average
height ls five feet nine and a half Inches, and
weight eleven stone eight Donnds. From six
thousand to seven thousand of these range
from six feet to six ieet five inches lu height.
All the Cuirassiers-there are fifteen cr six?
teen regiments ol them, if I remember aright
-are huge fellows, those or the guard being
giants In size, breadth and strength, riding
nearly twenty-one stone with their accoutre?
ments, Ac, The foot artillery is composed ot
picked men. ranging between flvo feet eight
inches and six feet high. Even In tbe Polish
and East Prussian imam ry regiments, recruit?
ed in olstricts the well-being oi which stands
ata much lower average than that ol tbe other
Polish provinces, (I have been assured on In?
disputable authority that a large proportion of
the annual contingent from Prussian Poland,
Lithuania, and the barren lands on the Rus?
sian, frontier, consists ot youths who have
never tasted meat or wine until they Joined
the ranks ol the army,) a man standing under
five feet five inches in bis regimental boots ls
a rare and exceptional Bight.
And In this country above all others the
army and the male population are convertible
terms. The army ls more than the pies: of the
nation-lt Is tbe nation Itself. All the male
adults of Prussia, save cripples, dwarfs or
those afflicted by constitutional debilities,
have been, are or will be soldiers. Youths
are, as lt were, taken bodily out of the way of
temptation at the most dangerous period of ?
their lives, when their passions are at a maxi?
mum and their Judgment at a minimum, and
sequestered from the world for nearly three
yean, during which their muscles are deva]-1
oped, and Their Intelligence supplied ?Uh the
means of development. They are taught to
practice aa absolute and blind obedience; they
are fed 'wholesomely and sufficiently, but
in snob sort aa to render them comparatively I
indifferent to good cheer; they are made to
work harder than they would have had to
labor at any calling whatsoever lu private
life; their morals are looked after with extreme
strtctnees, and when they have completed
their term oi service, if they manifest no de?
sire to "capitulate" or re-enlist, they are dis?
missed to their respective civil avoca?
tions, as a rule, la high health, bodily and
mental, well set up, hard and tough, sound In
wind and limb, with habits of order, sobriety
and economy, and in every respect better
mea than they would have been had they
spent the three years In question at the
JHough, the forge, or the desk. Tbe large m a
ority of these emancipes return at once to the
groove from which their summons to the
Prussian standards plucked them In their |
twenty-first year, and, as soon as they have
recovered the ground lost to them dnriDg
their absence marry and beget large vigorous j
children. This is the oountry par excellence
for early marriages and large famllles-ot
conree i mean among the lower classes. The j
throngs of sturdy, nardy children pervading
the streets of Prussian towns and villages
would cause a disciple of Malthus to shudder
with horror and disgust at every step he
took In localities so pbiloprogenltlvely defiant
of hl?vpriociples. These riotous and master?
ful youngsters are, In a great measure, the
practical results of the general military service
system. Generation noon generation ot them,
for the last sixty years, have been mak?
ing their appearance upon this worldly I
stage, each a trifle bigger or stronger than
Its predecessor-a very trifle, possibly, but]
still something. And so lt ls that the army
measures have waxed and increased since
1813, until they have reached dimensions that,
could the Prussian hosts of the Betreluogskrleg
be summoned from their rest and paraded lor |
Inspection by the side of the present army,
would astonish these veterans very consider?
ably. The uniforms of the 1872 levies would
hang like draperies on the limbs of Bluchers J
"babes" and Lutzow'a Wild Huntsmen; and
the sinewy young troops that Invaded France
a couple of years ago could not get into the
breeches and tunics of the heroes who strug
8led against Napoleon's legions at L<gny and
em ap pe e. Judging from the - data I have I
been able to get au I sboulJ say that the aver?
age Prussian adult of 1872 ls three Inches big- [
ger round the chest and two inches taller than
was his grandfather or great-grandfather in
1822. Nor most this be attributed to an In?
crement In general oten eire; for lhat bas been
also the case, and to a greater extent lo Great
Britain, and yet lt appears-vide your leader
to.be admitted that Great Britons are not
larger or stronger men than their progenitors.
No;it 1B not because the Prussians of nowa?
days eat more meat, drink more wine and
beer, and work fewer hours dally than did
those' other Prussians with whom our troops
fought side by Bide in Belgian plains and for?
ests, that their stature and girth have In?
creased, while ours have remained "as they
wereid la because half a century or more of
compulsory military service has coerced Prus?
sian men, Irom father to son, Into improving
the condition ot their bodies, with the limited
object, truly, of attaining the highest possible
degree ot fighting power, but alto with the
magnificent effect of ameliorating, In an ex
traordlnary measure, the physical loree of a
whole nailon. Moreover, the Prussians as a
people have enjoyed the inestimable advan?
tage of poverty. '. They have been more sober,
more chaste, more thrifty, more inured to
privations, barder worked tuan any other
great European people-not because they are
ot their nature paragons of the virtues, tar
from lt, but because bard necessity has been
their master as well as the shrewd, sagacious
Hohenzollern. Wealth brings with It com?
forts and luxuries, and ls followed bard at
beel by degeneration. It makes life easier
and happier, and, like the pursuit of the ans,
softens the manners, but.it also softens the
muscles. Thirty years ot almost unexampled
Eroeperliy delivered great France, courageous
ut Impotent, Into the bands of her foes,
whose bodies and touls bad been tempered
the while to the hardness of steel by poverty,
hard work and frugality. Acd yet who-not
being ol either nationality-does not prefer a
Frenchman lo a Prussian as a companion ?
For poverty does not make people amiable,
nor, to tell tbe truth, does bard work, while
there is bot a step from thriftiness to mean
neas:and amenity of feeling, courtesy of de
meanor,even common civility, are unfortunate?
ly lnoompailble with tbe mental and physical
habits Inculcated Ina people by a military re?
chne like that which obtains In Germany at
ile present day. In a word, nations have to
choose, ss matters stand, between improv?
ing their bodies and Improving their man
ners. Prussia made her choice lope; ego;
she has widened and deepened her chest,
added considerably to her stature, put
on an astonishing amount of muscle, and
hardened her frame to every sort of trial,
effort, and exposure; consequently, sbe
has doubled up, humiliated, and mulcted her
more wealthy, easy-going, and amiable neigh?
bors. She ls at the top of the tree; everybody
is afraid of her. People do not, of course, ex?
perience any extravagant degree of affection
for those of whom they stand In grievous
bodily fear. So she la not loved-at least, not
mach. Bat what does that matter to ber?
She ls Slr Oracle, and when she opens ber
mouth all men punctually hold their peace.
But she hasBuddenly got rich, and lt may be
that ber Spartan virtues will melt away under
a Bhower of gold. Her military system bas
made ber wbat she is, and nothing but pros?
perity can unmake her military system. As
tar as English physical modifications are con?
cerned I nrast leave your readers to draw their
own interences from the facts detailed above.
A MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
A Journeyman Tailor Commits Suicide
nt the Victoria Hotel by Hanging
Himself- Fall Particulars of the Af?
fair. ^
Last Tuesday morning a well-dressed man,
named John Vanhulst, arrived In this elly,
from -Ve w York, on board the steamship Man?
hattan. He went to the Victoria Hotel, at the
corner ol King and Princess streets, about
breakfast time, and applied for lodgings. Io
the course o? a conversai lon with the propri?
etor ol the hotel, Mr. Opdebeck, he stated that
he was a native of Brussels, Belgium, but had
been living for some time In New York City,
where he bad left his wile and four children.
He was a tailor by. trade, and had come to
Charleston for the purpose or obtaining work,
and he assigned as his reason for leaving New
York that the winter climate there was too
severe. He said that as soon as be succeeded
In getting a permanent situation be would I
send for his wife and children. He
asked Mr. Opdebeck for the address of I
the principal tailoring establishments In
the city, and that gentleman In com?
pliance gave bim the address of several.
He at the same time showed Mr. Opdebeck a
letter of Introduction to Mr. John Bughelmer, I
a well known merchant tailor of this city, j
from H. Weber. No. 52 First avenue, New!
York. After breakfast he left tbe hotel, and
was abBent some hours. lu the afternoon he re
turned, and said that he had got aplace in one
of the first tailoring establishments In tbe city.
Ho remained about the hotel in the afternoon,
and nothing unusual was observed In his con
duct or appearance by any one. On Wednes
day morning he left the hotel for work about I
seven o'clock. The other employees of the
establish ment In which be had been engaged I
say that he arrived there about quarter-past I
seven o'clock, and applied ii ira seit s toad il y to j
work until twenty minutes past twelve, when
he asked the hour, and got up to leave. He
had all the while appeared cheerio], and was
moderately talkative. On getting up to lc ave, 11
be remarked that he felt giddy, and staggered I !
a little, but be attributed it lo the effects of
the motion of the boat during his recent ]
voyage. J j
Mr. Opdebeck states that Yaobulst arrived j
at tho botel about tea minutes before one 11
o'clock, and said that he was feeling unwell, J1
the motion or me steamer WMOg sun m uu j {
Head. Mr. Opdebeck asked bim If he would I ?
not eat something. He refused, but asked for 11
a drink of brandy. Alter he had taken the I j
drink, he said that he would go and ile down. I <
At supper lime Mr. Opdebeck sent a servant I <
up to Vanhulst's room, which was on the third I j
(tory. In a shore lime the servant returned I j
and said that the room door was locked, and 11
tbe key bad been removed from the hole. 11
There being nothing suspicious In that fact, j
Mr. Opdebeck concluded that bis lodger had I :
gone out, and therefore gave the matter no 11
further thought. At breakfast time jester-1 j
day morning, the lodger did not make his ap-1,
pearance at the table, and the proprietor 11
again sent the same servant lo tbe room on I
the third floor. The servant returned and I,
said ihat the door was In the same I
condition as on the evening previ
one, and ihat the room was apparent-1
ently unoccupied. Mr. Opdebeok then I
went up and unlocked the door with a pass I
bey which he keeps. The door was, however, I
bolted on the Inside, and could not be pushed I
opened. lu attempting to force lt, Mr. Opde
beck discovered through an aperture thus I
made the figure of tbe man apparently Bland
lng directly before the crack with the eyes I
fixed upon bim. A second glance assured 11
him, however, that the body was suspended I j
to a post at the foot of the bed by means ot 11
a rope attached to the neck. Mr. Opedebeck I
made no further attempt to open the door, I.
but repaired Immediately to tbe detective o?-1
nee and in to rm ed Lieutenant Heidt of the I <
circumstances. The lieutenant with several ot I j
his officers lost no time In going to the hotel, I.
The door being forced, the body was found I
suspended as above described, with the feet 11
touching the floor and the knees bent out In I,
front. Life was perfectly extinct, and the I
rigidity of the body showed that lt had nee n
so for many hours. The post to which the !
body was suspended was a strip o? ordinary
yellow pine two Inches wide by three-quarters I
of an Inch thick, and constituted a portion of
the mosquito net frame. The whole frame I
was bent by the weight of the body partially j
over the foot ol the bed.
Lieutenant Heidt allowed the body to re
main in position and notified the coroner.
A jury was Impanelled, aid Dr. Raoul was
summoned to examine the body. The doctor I
pronounced that the neck was dislocated.
The verdict was that the deceased bad com?
mitted suicide by banging In a flt of mental
aberration.
Mr. Opdebeck telegraphed, ia the course of
the morning, to Marc el lan Dupuy, No. 172
Thompson street, New York, of whom the
deceased had spoken on the flrBt day of his
arrival, announcing the suicide, and asking
that, intelligence be communicated to the I
afflicted family. I
A lragment of a letter to his wife was found
In the deal man's pocket. It was written in
French, of a very defective nature. The fol-1
lowing ls a translation : j
"Afr/ Dear Wife-I have arrived ia good
healtn in Charleston. On the way I was very I
sick. I believed to die, but grace to Qod ll
am now very well. However. I have very j
great courage. Also I have found work the
very day I arrived. As soon as possible I will
send you some money. That will give me
great pleasure. I have finished."
The letter lhere ended without a signature.
It was apparently written on Tuesday after
noon, as it was upon a sheet of paper then ob?
tained Irom the proprietor of the hotel.

A Convicted Communist Restored to
Life After Having been Dead for
Three month?-How Carious People
May Go to Sleep and Wake Up In the
Next Century?
[Correspondence of the New York World.]
PARIS, October 12.
While the Germans were marching from
v!otory to victory over French territory, a
German professor in the University Weles
nlcht was conducting a series of rcaotrchesj
upon muscular contraction, which have led to
most unlooked for and important reBults. It
bas long been koowa that certain minute
animals may be preserved for months, or even
years, in as dry a state as the Insects pinned
to the show-case of a museum, and finally re?
cover their life on being moistened with
water. The animals denominated tardlgrades
and rotifers are most conspicuous lor the
possession ol this faculty of revoca?
tion. These creatures inhabit the moss
In our forests and even that on the
roofs of our house?, and are frequently
{irocured by- physiologists for the purpose of
nvestlgallng the endowment In question.
They may be dried at the temperature of boll?
ing water, set aside in their crisp and dead
state for an Indefinite period, and when again
moistened they move, breathe, feed, propa?
gate their kind, and In fact live as they did
before desiccation overtook their manifesta?
tions o? vitality. I has long been known that
tn the dry season of tropical countries reptiles
remain taken la earth as dry and solid as
burot brick, manifesting no slgos of life, and
resume their activity when the rainy season
bas liberated them Irom their prison. The
accounts often heard of living toads and other
reptiles havlog been broken out cf the solid
rock of the earth by the hammer ol the quar?
ryman have their origin In facts of the nature
of those above cited.
Professor Muller, of Weissnlcht, In experi?
menting upon the muscles of the higher quad?
rupeds, dogs, rabbits, <fcc, found that muscles
separated from the body of ihe animal might
be kept for long periods in a state of suspend-11
ed vitality and be restored to their contractile I ?
Btate so as to reepeud to electrical currents or
even to irritation of their nerves. As the '
muscle ol a dog, rabbit, or ox passed into the 11
dry state lt contracted more slowly, like that 11
ol a reptile, aa eel or turtle, for InBtaoce, and 11
Anally loBt the faculty of contraction .alto- j
gether. From this dead slate he was able to 11
bring lt back after long periods of Inaction to 11
Its original active and living condition by a I (
method which he had discovered. He reason
ed that li he could secara this result on the I '
muscles of aa unmutllated animal, at the
same time preventing the coagulation of tbe 11
blood, the animal might be kept torpid and I.
dead for an Indefinite period and be re-1
stored to life and activity by appro-1 '
priais meaos koowa to physiologiste. He 11
succeded In deslccatlag, or it should more 11
properly be called semi-desiccating, through I
abstraction of blood and subsequent evapora-1c
Uoa from the skia, the bodies of bats, moles, 11
cats, dogs and other vertebrate animals, and I}
after keeping them dry aod torpid for I,
months he restored them to life. This he did I
Irequently in tba presenoe of a few of bis I
friends, among whom were some of the most
distinguished Ba va ne of Germany; but for
some reason the matter was held secret,
probably in order to guarantee to the discov
erer his rights of priori ly, of which scientific I
men are exceedingly, lr not childishly, ten-1 "
ac loua. It having been demonstrated that j ?
the higher aoimals might, by the Mullerlan 11
process, be desiccated aod restored to life at IE
?be will of the experimenter, he was Induced 11

tod Blcheraud, the most influential of 11

period of executions of Communists, 8
iud these savanr, in the chaotic con-11
iltlon ol society in France, had little I '
ilffioolty la obtaining Irom M. Thiers permis-11
jlou to try the method upon two noted Com-1 *
mnalsts uader sentence of death for the mas-1 1
sacre ol hostages, named Dodu and Brun, on 11
me ground that should they be restored to life P
igaln after three months the Thiers Govern- IE
ment would no longer require their death, and If
they could be required to emigrate to America. I
Dodu was stout and muscular; Brun tall, thin, 11
and bloodless; both thoroughly brutalized, as I}
might have been expected irom their pol iii-1 ]
sal antecedents, I have only meagre details If
of the method employed, as, from the Interest I '
excited in the result la Bruns ca?e, lt is al- I
most Impossible to obtain accesB to any one of I {
the savane present, either at the first steps In I '
desiccation or at the revlvfloatloo. Ia my
next I hope '.o forward the entire history of
this marvellous achievement of science.
IC was at the Veterinary School ot Alfort,
near Paris, where some of the most Important
discoveries In physiology have been made,
that the entire treatment ot the two Commu-1 .>
Dist criminals was conducted. The process 11
consists mainly In removing all the blood from I(
the blood vessels and injecting la Its place be-1}
fore the heart has entirely ceased to beat a
solution of chloride of calx. This latter sub?
stance prev?ate, BB I have been assured by I 1
Professor Blcheraud, that complete, rigid des- '
location which breaks up and disturbs the
small divisions of the body, or tissues, on the
activity of which life depends, and leaves them I(
lo the same relations to ooe another which 11
they bore during life, thus permitting the res-1c
toration of their reciprocal action when mois
Lure ia restored. It also prevents the coagula-1
lion of the blood, and so obviates the obstruc?
tion of the circulation, which ls the chief I
obstacle to the restoration of life In the higher
animals. As la man two-thirds of the weight I
of the body is composed of muscular tissue, I j
and as the action of muscular tissue ls the 1
malu visible element io vitality, the bearing 1
of Professor Muller's experiments oo muscles 11
upon the problem now first resolved will at
once be seen. The heart itself ls but a hollow,
powerful muscle, of sleepless activity. I
The prisoners were p.aced la oae ol the
dead houses, or dissecting rooms, on wooden
tables; chloroform was administered, as both
eagerly craved lt, aod they were bled lill the
movements ot the heart were very faintly au-1
di ble io the ear placed over lt on the chest. I
The so lu tion ot the calx was thea Injected Into I
an artery In the arm, and the mingled blood
and solution was again abstracted until the
heart ceased to beat. Currents ot warm, dry
air were then admitted lato the room Irom the
furnaces designed for heating la winter, the I
fires being kept In full blast for many days.
This was oontlnued until the body gradually
shrivelled, the skia becoming yellow like
leather. It did not crack or break when
pinched up, but resumed Its smooth ness when I
the pressure was removed. The eye balls be
came yellow and opaque. One-third of the 1
original weight of the body was lost In the case
of Dodu, a Utile over one fourth In the case of
Brun. In this state they remained at a moderate
temperature, the fires la the furnace having
been brought low, until the prescribed
three mouths had elapsed. Not the slight
est tendency to putrefaction was observed,
owing to the preservative virtues ol the calx.
Ia the presence of savane mentioned aod of I
oertaln officials designated by tbe govern?
ment, among whom were the keeper of the
prison ot La Roquette and the Prefect ot
Police, the process of revivification was com-1
menced. Blood was drawn from the arms of I
two healthy laborers In au adjoining room and
Injected into the old wound la the arm of
Dodu. The artery was then tied. After the j
body had recovered its natural flush the gal-1
vanlc battery was applied to the region of the I
heart; but alter nearly an h ou t's exertion no I
life was maolfested. More blood was injected,
this time in a brauch of the carotid artery la ]
the neck, and the artery tied as before. More
powerful batteries were procured aod applied
to the spine, over the heart, to the nerves in
the neck, but all without the least sign of life
other than the filling out of the body and the I
flush of the skin. The savans present now
fell back upon their dignified incredulity, and
smiles and covert sarcasm greeted the auda?
cious German. He explained bis failure by
Insisting that some internal disease or malfor?
mation had brought the subject of experiment
near to death before the experiment was com?
menced, and with Irue German pertloacUy
proceeded to operate on the body of Brun. I
The same process was employed as with Dodu,
and this time with triumphant success. It was
I not found necessary to open the artery In the
neck, but blood was Injected abundantly and
1 repeatedly, the tube being lett in the artery
I of the arm after each la lection, but closed I
with a stopcock-, Instead of the arter; being
tied as in the previous case. First the eyeballs
rolled in their sockets under tbe discbarges ol
the galvanic battery; after twitching of the
muscles, the arms were made,io contract; a
siethe8Cope applied over the *reglon of the
heart rendered its beatings plainly audible,
and, In fact, after fourteen hours of treat?
ment, during which the most intense interest
was manifested by the men of science assem?
bled, Brnn spoke, rose from the (able with tbe
aid of the professor, swallowed a bowl of beef
tea and several ounces of brandy; complained,
aa his faculties slowly returned, of soreness in
bis limbs and palo In the regions where the
body had rested on th? table. He seemed
dazed, but recovered sufficient Intelligence to
declare, In answer to a question, that If they
would only put him to sleep (as he called lt)
until the Commune regained its lost power
and he could live in Paris undisturbed, be
would again submit to tbe operation. He was
not permitted to appear in the streets ol Paris,
and the government bas surrounded his
movements with mystery. He is reported to
be In Switzerland under the . assumed named
ot Fourbe.
Further developments are anxiously waited,
for whlie lt ls well known that persons dying
of cholera have been restored after the heart
has ceased to beat and tbe lunga to breathe,
and all the senses were as completely abolish?
ed as in the lifeless corpse, by the simple in?
jection of blood or Ball ne solutions, and this
to such an extent as admitted ol testamentary
dispositions viva voce and .farewells to sur?
rounding friends, the results obtained In the
case of one ot the Communists are a triumph
of science hitherto without a parallel. A post?
mortem examination of the body of Dodo
showed fatty degeneration Qf both the heart
and liver, so that the want Of success in his
case IB not to be wondered at
THE LATEST OCEAN HORROR.
KEY Wist, October 31.
The following ls the latest from the Ill-fated
steamship Missouri: When the boat of the t
survivors left the burning (pip one b -at was I
seen with keel upward, with two men on the i
keel. The saved boat lay by them two hours, ]
ind lt Is not likely any of them escaped. No
sails had been seen for two days previous to
the dre. For forty minutes after the rescued
boats left the ship the passengers on the ves- 1
sel crowded on the after part. The passen- i
Mrs were at breakfast when the alarm was I
riven. The boat was ref cued by tho schooner ]
3py. A vessel was sent to tbe bnrnlng sblp, <
Dut returned and reported seeing nothing of <
joats or passengers. The sea was breaking :
Heavily In the reefs. Seven females and
leven ohlldren were on board, none of whom
got lo the boats. t j
The only expense Incurred In this port by 1
he little English steamer Anna, belonging lo !
.he Atlantic Mail Steamship Company, which
irooght to thia port the survivors of the lil- -
ated steamer Missouri, was forced from her <
>y the United States custom officers, who even j
iharged her with tonnage dues for twelve ?
nontbs in advance. Every one else with
vhom the Anna had bittiness worked willing

tad excellent spirits. The race was for a
mrse of seventy-five hundred dollars, the best I
ars, abd the time pools, 2.21 at forty dollars,

-There ls much excitement In the usually
drowsy little town of Rlcbmond-on-Tbames,
England, just now, owing to a request, on the
part of her Majesty, that the roads might he
opened to lay a pipe irom the crown conduit
on Richmond Common to tbe Royal Laundry
at Kew, and the peremptory refusal of the re?
quest by the town vestry. The Rlchmondlans
are rather adverse to having their water Blip
ply cut off, even for the loyal object of wash?
ing her Majesiy's apparel, and the sell-consti?
tuted lriends of the Queen have been very free
with their charges of disloyalty, republican?
ism, Chartism, ?fcc, against the opponents of
tho request In the vestry. At a meeting ol
this body the other nient the discussion on
rescinding the rerasal was a very bitter one,
in the course of which Maxwell, the publisher,
got very much excited over an allusion to
Miss Braddon and Belgravia, and came within
an ace of Inaugurating a regular tumble-down
fight. Maxwell was very chivalrous In his
championship of the Queen, but was outvoted
and howled down. Btcbmond stands stoutly
by its conduit, and ber Majesty, must look
elsewhere for the supply of water for her
washerwomen. The affair amuses everybody,
as lt ls known to be a royal scheme for saving
money.

All tbe rema 'og hore? cars la tbe city,
which had until now kept up their trips

weather of to-day see ms ?lightly to abate tbe
malady.
In Cleveland, Ohio, the disease is spreading.
Several livery stables are closed, and the Ure
department and express companies' horses
are becoming unfitted lor service.
There ls little change reported In Boston,
but the disease bas extended to Waterville
and Eastport, Maine. Ia Poughkeepsie and
other places on the Hudson Elver the disease
Is Increasing.
The Plague In Wathlagton.
WASHINGTON, October 31.
Two of this morning's papers relate tbe re
ault of inquiries at the railroad, express and
livery stables, aod the conclusion reached is
that forty or fifty horses have symptoms of
tbe equine epidemic; while another morning
paper, the reporter of which visited numer?os
Hables, Bays that the veterinary surgeons are
not attending any horses n the city suffering
from the disease; and, furthermore, that they
lld not believe there ls a case In town. There
ire horses, notan unusaal number, suffering
alto colds, certainly not unusual at this sea
ion; but many owners, and those who bave
iones In care, express fear that their animals
viii be attacked by the disease, and are taking
precautions accordingly.
