WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. -Gen. Schofield
received a telegram from Gen. Miles this
morning, dated Pine Ridge, Jan. 14th, as
follows : " In orderto restore entire con-
fidence among these Indians, I have found
it neoesoary to send a delegation to Wash.
ington to receive assurance of the highest
authority of the good intention of the
Government towards them. This will
answer a donble purpose, namely, satisfy
them, bridge over the tzaneition period
between war and peace, dispel distrust and
hostility and restore confidence. It will
aleote a guarantee of peace while they are
absent. I ask that my action may receive
the approved of the department by tele-
graph. Everything is progressing satisfac-
torily, and I oan see no reason why perfect
peace may not be established."
By direction of Seoretary Proctor, Gen.
Schofield sent the following reply : ",The
Secretary of War conferred with the Presi-
dent and the Seoretary of the Interior in
regard to yt$nr proposal :to -send' a delega-
tion of the Sioux Chiefs to Washington,

results in various oases reported by Prof.
Virohow and others merely showed that the
lymph should only be used in the early
stages of the disease.
Prof. Kooh's report, issued to -day, as to
the ingredients which compose hie lymph,
considering the importance of the subject,
is of the moat brief nature. It nye the
lymph consists of glycerine and an extract
from a pure cultivation of the tubercle
baooilli. 9
A Berlin cable says: The secret of the in-
gredients entering into the composition of
Prof. Kooh's lymph is given today to the
world. Prof. Kooh eaye : " Since pub-
lishing two months ago the result of my
experiments with the new remedy for
tuberculosis, many physicians who re-
ceived the preparation have been able to
beoome acquainted with its pro-
perties through their own experiments.
So fur ae I have been able to review the
statements published and the oommnnioa-
tions...received _by _letter,. my indications
have been -fully and completely confirmed.
The general consensus of opinion is that the
remedy has a epeoifio' effect on tubercular
tisanes and is therefore.applioable as a very
delioete and sure reagent for discovering

Regarding the onrative effects of the
reined , most reports agree that, despite
the comparatively shot duration of it
application, many patients have shown
more or less pronounced improvement. It
has been affirmed that in not a few oases
even a cure has been established.
Standing quite by itself is the
assertion that the remedy may not only be
dangerous in oases which have ,advanced
too far -a fact which may forthwith be
conceded -but also that it actually pro-
decided upon. So long, he . said, as the motes the tuberculous process, being, there -

A despatch from Valparaiso states that
the Chilian men-of-war have given, notice
that they will begin a blockade of the port
of Iquique January 20th. Thedmportation
of provisions into Iquique has already been
.stopped. Additional despatohee say the

blockaded in order to interrupt the nitrate
trade.
Private despatches from Iquique state
that the blockade extends to Coquimbo.
The Chilian warships Almirante Cochrane

the telegraph wires to the north of Valpa-
raiso have been out.
The Chilian ironclad Almirante Coch-

will blookade Iquique on the 20th instant.

'fore injurious. During the past -six
weeks I myself have had opportunity
to bring together further experiences
touching the curative effects and diagnostic
application of the remedy in the oasesof
about 150 sufferers from tuberculosis of the
most varied types in this city and in the
Moabit -Hospital. I oan only say that
everything I have latterly Been accords
with my previous observations. There bas
been nothing to modify in what I have re-
ported. Along as it was only a question of
proving the accuracy of myindications, it
was needless for any one to know what
the remedy contained or whence it was
derived. On the contrary, subsequent
testing would necessarily be more unbiased
the lees people know of the remedy itself.
Now after sufficient confirmatory testing the
importance of tbe remedy is proved, my next
task is to extend my study of the remedy
beyond the field whereit has hitherto
been applied, and if possible to apply the
principle underlying the discovery so other
'diseases. This task naturally. dem'ende a
full knowledge of the remedy. I therefore
consider the time has arrived when' the re-
quisite indications in this direction shall be
made. This is done in what follows.
Before going into the remedy itself, I deem
it necessary, for the better understanding
of its mode of operation, to' state briefly
the way by which I arrived at the discov-
ery. If the healthy Guinea pig be inocu-
lated with the pure cultivation of German
culture ; of tubercle baoilli, the wound
caused by the inoculation mostly
closes over with a sticky matter and
appears in its early days to heal. Only
after ten to fourteen days a hard module
presents itself, whioh, soon breaking,
forma an ulcerating sore which continues
until the animal dies. Quite a different
oondition of things occurs when a guinea
pig already anffering from tuberonlosie is
inoculated: An animal successfully
inoculated from four to six weeks is beat

animal the small indentation asaumee

lymphatio gland° is reduced, the body
becomes better nourished, and the morbid
process ceases, nnleee it has gone too far, in
whioh case the animal perishes from ex-
hanation. By this means the basie•,of e
curative process against tuberonlosis was
established. Against the practical appli•
nation of such dilutions of dead tuberole
baoilli there presented itself the fact that
tubercle baoilli are not absorbed at the
in another way, but for a long time remain
unchanged, and engender' greeter or smaller
suppurative food. Anything, therefore,
intended to exercise a healing effeot on,the
tuberculous process must be a soluble snb-
stanoe which would be laxiviated to a
pertain extent by the fluids of the body
floating around the tubercle baoilli and be
transferred in a fairly rapid manner to
the pieces of the body, while the substance
prodnoing suppuration apparently remains
behind in the tnberonlar baoilli, or dissolves
but very slowly. The only important point
was therefore to induce outside the body
the process going on inside if possible, and
to extract from the tnberonlar baoilli alone
the curative subetanoe.
A VEHICLE FOUND.
This demanded time end toil, until I
finally auooeeded with the aid of a 40 to 50
per cent. solution of glycerine in obtaining
an effeotive substance from the tubercular
baoilli. With the fluid so obtained I made
further experiments on animals, and finally
on human beings. These fluids were given
to other physicians to enable them to re•
peat the experiments., The remedy which
is need in the new treatment consists of a
glycerine•," m the pure
extract derived from
cultivation of tubercle baoilli." Into the
simple extract there naturally passes from
the tubercular baoilli, besidea'the effeeotive
substance, all the other matter soluble in
50 per ,tens. glycerine, Consequently it
contains a oertain quantity of mineral
Halts, ooloring enbetances, and other un-
known extrnotive matter. Some of these
ens essoi C"an-foe- removed -from -it --'with
tolerable ease. The effective substance
itself is'insoluble in absolute alcohol. It
oan be precipitated by it, not indeed in a
condition of perfeot purity. but when still
combined with other extractive matter.
The coloring, matter may also be removed
so as to render it possible to obtain
from the extract a colorless dry sub-
etanoe containing the effective principle in
a much More concentrated form than the
original glycerine solutions. For applica-
tion in practice the purification of the`
glycerine extract offers no advantage,
because the substances "so eliminated are
not essential for lithe human organisms.
The purification process would also make
the coat of the remedy unnecessarily high.
Regarding the constitution of more effective
subatancee, Prof. Koch says that surmisea
only oan be for the present expressed.
These substances appear to him to be
derivative from albuminone bodies having
a close affinity to them. The extract does
not belong to the so•called group of tox-
albumens, , because it bears a higher
temperature, and in dyallysis goes easily
and gaiokly through the membrane. The
proportion of the effective anbetanoe in the
extract' is to all appearances very email,
and is estimated at fractions of one per
centum, which, if correct, shows that we
should beveto do with matter the effect
of which upon organisms attacked with
tnberonloeie pee far beyond what is known
to ne of the stroneest drugs.

the duration of the remedy. Of the con-

and completely disappeared.

volvers, which they ,concealed while coming
on board. Captain Pocock was treacher-
ously shot while parleying with the
pirates, and Capt. Peterson, a passenger,
was also killed. The Malay quartermaster
was killed and thrown overboard. Two
officers and two Malay quartermasters, a
Chinese sailor and Chinese cook were

SPECIFIC ACTION OF THE REMEDY.
Regarding the manner in whioh • the
specific action of the remedy ontuberoulons

Without wishing to' affirm That my view
"affords the best explanation. I represent
the process myself chi the following man-
ner : The tubercle bacilli produced when
growing in living tisanes the same as in
artificial oultivatione„contain certain sub•
stances which variously and notably an -
favorably influence living elements in their
vicinity. Among theee is a 'substance
which, in a certain degree of concentration,

The Reading of Books.
An active -minded boy or girl oan find
out to great deal about the world we live
in,by the habit of attention, by looking
around and he or she can get mtiohlinspirri-
tion from the example of good men and
women. But this knowledge can bo added
to indefinitelyy by reading, and - people will
read if they have a genuine desire to know
things, and are not, as we say, ” too lazy
to live." When I hear a boy say that he
does ,not know what to read,,I wonder if he
has no curiosity. Is there nothing that he
wants to know about ? Most, children ask
gneotione. It often happens that the
persona they ask cannot answer the
questions. Now, it is the purpose of books
to do just this thing which the particular
person asked cannot do. And that is
about all there is in reading. Of mune it
must be borne in mind that curiosity is of
many kinds; curiosity about facts, about
emotions, about what happened long ago,
about what;is taking place now, about the
people who lived ages ago, and the people
who live now, about others, and about
one's self. So it happens that one wants
to read science, and poetry, and history,
and biography, and romances, and the
daily news.
It is quite impossible to lay down rules
for reading that will snit all children, and
generally difficult to map out a " course "
to be inflexibly pursued by any one. But
nearly every mind is or can be interested
in something, and a wengood plan is to
encourage reeding•conoerning the subject
the child shows some curiosity about. One
thing will certainly lend lo another, for
nothing is isolated in this world. Try to
find out all you coo about one thing, one
tact in history, one person, the ba,bite of
one'animal, the truth shout one historical
character ; pursue this, and before you
know it you will be a scholar in many
things.
Do not forget that reading is a means to
an end. " The indulgence of it is good or
bad according to. the end in view. The
mind' is benefited by pursuing some
definite subject until it is nnderatood, but
it is apt to be impaired by idly nibbling
now and then, tasting' a thousand things,
and swallowing none,in short, by desultory
reading. -Charles Dudley Warner in Janu-
ary St. Nicholas.
