H Hood, of this city formorly a surgeon of volunteers, and for many years medical referee of tha United States pension oflioe-bears to tha late General U. 8. Grant, Tbo accidents of campaigning brought the two men together during the greater part of ths war, both in the West and in the opera, tions around Petersburg and Richmond. At City Point, Vs., in the fall of 1864, General Grant had a fine team, with whloh he used to drlr Mrs. Grant out while she was visiting blm. Dr. Hood and Surgeon William L Faxon wars at that time In charge of the Fifth oorp hospital, at that place, and the strange roseinblanoa reforrod to waa often a matter of wondor to General Grant himsolf, the likeness bolng not only In toaturo, but in height, build and weight) the two men had measured together, and both turned the commissary scales at precisely the same notch on ths beam. lira Grant had gone boms, and one evening General Grant drove Mrs, Hood out for airing; the road from headquarters came directly toward ths hospital, and then turned off at aa angle, and Surgeon Faxon, soelng ths oouple oomlng toward him, stood beck, onlng and hading them, but as they turned off at the end of the road, hs called out several times, at the top ol hls voloo. " Ualui-JIoodi Hood! What's ths matter with "ydhiVVou don't kpow anybody slnoe you're drit'.'flf J".01 line turnout!" A mistake whloh great! ly amused both General Grant and ths doctor's wife. 'In the fall of 1866, said Doctor Hood, "after President Johnson bad been "swinging around the clrole,' and ha and General Grant had fallen out, I was still In servloe and was ordered to report at Vlcksburg, for duty. Ths train on whloh I left Washington waa axtrsmaly -crowded; tn.ro waa not a seat to bo found. I was not In full uniform and had nothing. In fact, which denoted .military rank except a strips upon my trousers and a sword in a chamois leather ease, which I carried In my hand. Presently a young offloer came up and Introduced himself, stat ing that under no clrctrmstanoes could he permit the General of tha army to stand while he could prevent It I saw that he had made the same mis mistake - take mistake about . me that was so often re peated, and mads the most vigorous and explicit disclaimers. It was of no avail, however; the more I pro tea tod the more he stuck to it, and at length be leanod orer and whispered: Gen oral. 4t's all right; you'll find me per fectly discreet, but 1 m not an absolute Idiot, for I was Introduced to you only yesterday, at ' your headquarters In Washington by Representative .Oliver Dicker, "Lancaster. Pa.' Protesta tions and asseverations were alike futile and I had to make tha best of It Uy young and enthuslastio admirer finally procured a seat for me, but aa ths train reached Frederick Junction he came up again and remarked: M -General, I find that there ara quits a number of your old soldlors on board the train, and they are wild to shake the hand of their brave commander. Will you not eondesoend to oblige thorn Just this once?" My oase was fast becoming desper ate; but, making an almost superhuman effort partly by persuasion and partly by assuming an air of stern and forbid, ding authority, I suooeodod in subduing my tormentor.' When we finally part parted, - ed, parted, however, he compromised by taking oouple' of enormous rosy-cheekod apples from bis "grip-sack and giving them to -me, with Ihs urgent request that when I reached St Louis I would b good enough to giro these to Mrs. Grant; - he wanted her to know what kind-of apples grew In Lancastor County.. Pennsylvania." Washington Letter. . m ABOUT CONSUMPTION. the Latent SoUatiae Opinio I. steiardto the Cawa of tho Dleeaaa. It was suspected for many years that tubercular disease was caused by germs; but tha first to actually dotoct the epeolfia bacteria which causes the disease, was Dr. Koch, a chemist of Berlin. : Hla Investigation of this para site extended over a long time and were very thorough. He detected, by mlorosoopio examination, the gorm in the blood of those suffering from the disease,, and then, by inooulatiug healthy animals with this diseased blood, he proved the germ to be the of the disease, ill. method of Investigation Is thua described: , "Ha subjected the diseased organs of a great number of men and animals to mloro mlorosoopio - soopio mlorosoopio examination, and found In all the tuberolos Infested with minute, rod-shaped parasite, which by means of a special dye he differentiated from the surrounding. tissues. Trans Transferring - ferring Transferring directly by Inoculation ths tuberculous matter from diseased anl. to healthy ones he In every In- stance reproduced the disease. To meet the objection that It was not the parasite Itself, but some virus In which It was lmbeddod In the diseased organ, that was the real eontaglum, he culti cultivated - vated cultivated his bacilli artificially for long periods of time, and through many successive generations. With a speck of matter, for example, from a tuber tuberculous - culous tuberculous human lung, he Inflated a sub sub-stance, - stance, sub-stance, prepared after much trial by himself,, with the view of affording nutriment to tho parasite Hero ha permitted it to grow and multiply. From this new generation he took a minute sample Infected there with fresh nutritive matter, thus producing another brood. Generation after gon eratlon of bacilli wore thus produced without the Intervention of dlsoose. At the end of the process, which some times embracod successive cultivations extending over half a year, the purified bacilli were Introduced Into the circu circulation - lation circulation of healthy animals of various klndal In every case inoculation waa followed by the reproduction and . f the naraalte. and tha Mn.
