Fortj-igLt microwonpoa wer on t)i Ubl at tho eiLibiUon of Tharaday vening at Lyrio hall, and a rnagnifloent uhow Uiey made. I will npare you a diicription of tho variooa dia Uyn, but will merely give the momentary im prHMioiia of a noii-expert. A Hoction of human ncalp about aa largo a a piu hoad lookod like a map of tho Grecian archijelago. The inland were painted green and tho Intervening canala red, and a liberty pole fttood up ou a rocky peninsula and disap peared in the clouds. Thin, the exhibitor wud, was a hair. The LacllluH tuberculoMiN, tho mouater thai burrowa in the luus and cause cousumption, wa aaid to be l-4,000 of an inch long. It looked like the air-cushion that Peter Cooper its down on. The Ijord'H prayer waa exhibited photo graphed on a iipaee smaller than a pin-hoad -'A. of an inch). It looked about aa largo aa a pie-platter. The fllo of a catydid looked liko a eaw. mill aw geared into a threahing-machiue, and looked aa if it would cut a log in two at a clip. Prof. IL Uitcho.H-k exhibited lifa within a troiifB egg and formedifera. Tho latter, the ooze tttken from a depth of two miles aud a half in tho South Atlantic ocean had some what tho appearance of four-leafod clover; while tho former arranged itself symmetrically, liko pancake or giiiger-enapa waiting to be eaten. Ti i'jliinw in pork, reeemblod gold knot-holos in the aide of a cedar-barn ; but the more agod HpcciinouH looked like those iron rings that are used for quoila, with holes to put your thumb througli. A bit of quartz crystal looked like an exhibi tion of fireworks on 8ta ten Island petiifiod pyrotechnics, aa it were. Dr. F. Y. Clark exhibited curious dentine the micro-organisms in decayed human toeth. These minute fellows looked liko . I'll tell you below what they looked liko, for I sought oat and inepocted tho intcrostins crea turos the next day. At the exhibition I saw our best-known dealer in microscopes, who ia ahto a careful ex perimenter and a member of the society, aud asked him if there "was anything new lu micro Bcopy. "New?" he repeated, "nothing absolutely new, perhaps, exoept the enormous pro gress that is being made in the Hcienoe. Interest is xtondinj among all classes of people, and we sell threo times as many mioroacopes aa we did five or six years ago. Great advancement is being made in these directions which affect human health for instance, in dentistry. The microscope reveals the cause of the decayed t eth, and there are half a dozen of the pio neer of the movement in this ceuntry who will assure you that a real revolution is being ef fected. I might mention Dr. Miller, of Berlin, Prin6iA; Prof Mavr and Dr. Stock well, of Springfield, Mass. ; fir. Ilarrett, of Buffalo: or Dr. Clark, of this city. These men talk very earnestly and confidently concerning their snc km in preventing decay of tho teeth. Clark was one of the first innovators here, but a good many who oamo to ncorT remain to practice on hw theory the germ theory, as they call it - 'ITie next day . I huntod un Dr. "Clark, and found him alone, and tbo microscope of hi ah power, which had attracted my attention the previous night, on his tible. In reply to my question he said: '"Ic. but of ail men we dou tisw noed no stirring np. We are more alive to anything new than any others can bo, aud any new idea or mode of treatment, when once al luded to in our jonniils, stirs us np quite enough without the stimulus of the daily pre."8. There are two theories aa to the docav of teeth tho acid and the germ theory. I believe in and practise on the latter." 1 inquired what facts the given theorists had discovered to iustify their mode of practice. "We have advanoed thus far," ho said, "we Lave discovered bactetia of various species in carious dentine that is, in decayed teeth. They are the smallest living organisms, but the microscope of high power reveals them. This much is a demonstration. Bnt as this is a scientific controversy, I do not see the profit ableness ef carrying it on in newspapers." In response to further questions he aaid: "It has always been believed and taught in our schools, and colleges, aud Dooks that decay of the teeth was produced by acid", A great ma jority of deutitts still practice on this belief. We believe this is entirely erroneous. We can not discover any acid in carious dentine, but we discover bacteria iu all carious structures. These little things are found in abundance wherever decay is going on, and aa they do not naturally belong there and are known to lie agents of fermentation and decomposition, we hold they are the prime cause of the decay." -In what way do bacteria attack teeth?" "They get into the tube-cells, and, by ab sorbing the lrfe-matter or bioplaem, the bony structure of the teeth becomes disintegrated, w hich is decay." "Can you kill them?" "Yes ; without this ability our knowledge of their existense, appearance and f nntion would be of littlo value. By the proper use of various antiseptics or tiixiufeMora we claim to be ablo to destroy them and prevent their increase, and if our instructions are obeyed wo ought to be able iu mont cases to prevent decay." "mUthn theory, when practically carried lit, remove tho necessity of extracting teeth?" out, a ma is Liiu iuui oi ail buuui 103 kuu elix goou dentists, but we germ men believe that, know ing the actual cause of decay, we can more ef fectually and unerringly apply the remedy, and that the time will come when young peo ple's teeth will bo so cared for that all decay, a the Irishman would remark, will be arrested before it starts." "Then what will become of the dentists?" "By that time people may become fastidious about the arrangement and bhape of their teeth, and that would keep an army of dentists busy. Or perhaps by that time," he continued, with a laugh, 'folks will want their teeth painted black, like tho Chinese mothers, or blue, like some of tne Polynesians, and we shall all turn out decorative artiste. How came you to call here?" I told him, and asked the privilege of seeing some bacteria. He hesitated, and aald he had talked too much already. In the interest of science I stepped to the microscope he h id left and looked in. I saw a placid mill-pond with a few stray bubbles on its surface. By strain ing my eyes for five minutes I discovered be neath the surface white specks, qnite thick to gether. They might be little jelly-fish, I thought Most of them were still, bnt now and then one gave a little shiver and moved on with a pitch. "Are these bacteria?" "Yes, there are a mnltitade of one or two species there." 't' i. . ; . .1 ; . .ii .i. . .. A i n , "Can you eee others?" "Yes, in this slide you will be apt to find a variety. The other contained a bit of saliva with carious dan tin a This is the same, mixed with putrid water," and he substituted another slide I looked in, and gazing attentively, saw a rather complicated wilderness. "I see," said I, "a field as big as aa Indian reservation. The Indians are off ou the warpath. The field is about ten rods distant; I can see as much as fifty hogs ruahiug around in it; they are all white; each one whirls around and then dives ahead two or three steps they are apparently dancing a s.-hortiaohe ; I can see Oue reach for a bunch of grapes in a tree overhead, and another stick his snout under a log nnd try to get an acorn that it lies on. They have black spots on them a sort of spotted Berkshire, I think." "Thme are infusoria," aaid the doctor; "about the smallest of animals." "Ah ! infusoria," eaid I, quoting from Cham bers' Encyclopaedia, which I had just read, "are very minute. It is estimated that a single Irop of putrid water may contain more of thoe little fellows than there aie human boiugs ou b trio'ie." "Well, I don't know about that," id the doc tor. "I ra her doubt tiiat. Pet ii 1. ! 'hey iu"a :t b:ct;-rio, w'-ich arj much ini.;l e . I don't w.sh to bay e.a-t!y how 8;Va!l Lumcm aie. bui i would eerfaivly take a good ruu-.y :f them to 11 a i o .sh-iadl' I to n meu;al note of the statistic and went on: 'I eee a turt.e cunning up on to clap. Now that I look closely, doctor, 1 see about a million wluto mice on the reservation, poi,.g around in a leisurely monitor anions the white wjue. The hogs are all exoiu.-d, waltzing, turning summersets, butting inV everything; bnt tha mice are ralm and sereue. The mice ' may Le tne s:ime 1 tte feJows I saw before." "Yen, those bacteria. I iufer iha: the in fusoria sonietv.j'3 eat the bacteria at aay rat,e I have Keen the latter in-ide the former, strug gling to get out. Infusoria are scavengers, able to eat anything; more like goats, perhaps, than bi." I took another look at tho micro. -opo. I saw a double-ender rolling down acrowa the lot; apparently either a pojnnt or a dumb boll. I he figs were duciiti their familiar jig, and there were I iu of log-ehaiu n -altered here and there over the Meld, and a good man v of the m.cn were hhivering ax if they had their shanty in the lowest part of the Jerney flats. Other animals almi I otinded into tlio field now aud then. "Tbnl would be a letter placo for hunt ing than tho .Vliromlark," said I. And as my eyes ached, I thanked him, and came away. YELLOWSTONE PARK. The MontiinrntM I'pon the .reat .National I'ark. Marat Halxtcad " Thero is a public aeiifibilily &lont the Yel lowstone park that honors the people, and ia gratifying, becaune it proves that they fool that tho park is their property. Intense feeling has been aroused about the leases thit have been granted to I'nclu Rufua Hatch, aud threats have been made tint Cnclo Rufus dtiould uff'T for his temerity, and General I5rilen, who has a fancy that ho was foreordained to be, tho great and only admiral of Yellowstone hike, and who thinks that his ntornwheul ttteamboat ehould paddlo tho golden w:tr'rs and hear no eouad save her own dasluugs, and wit.iens no rival Hmoke from a competing chimuey of galvanized iron ia all her jouruey int;s, has contributed to the public perplexity some literary efforts that need explanation. I am enabled to e.ontrihute a fact or two to tho Yellowstouo contioversy that may have general application. There is to be a rueh of visitors to the national park this year. The Northern Pacilia railroad runs fifty-six miles north of the northern boundary of the park, and a branch line wid be built to the park itself as soon as pos.?ibh). The Northern Pa cific ii finished to a point oppnsito the park, and tho whole hue will be completed by Au gust 1. Now, Undo Itufus Ha'ch has leat-od a few ten-acre fields, to erect hotels for tho accom modation of travelers. Without the leases there could not be hotel, without hotold all visitors would have to carry camp equipage, and that would give a monopoly of visiting to those prep:irod to expend large sums iu pro viding a suitable outfit for tueir shelter uud protection. Undo l.ufus means to keep a few good hotels. The members of tho Western associated press who are to vixit Yellowstouo park this summer, at eueli tune as they may appoint, as guests of the Northern Pacific railroad, should not bo severe beyond the dictates of conscience on an arrangement that will provide them with hotel accommodations, aud all citizoua should be grateful if, at the same time, provision is made for the protection of tho wonders of na ture iu the park from those barbarians, whose peculiar degradation has aire iriy been illus tratnd by netting tire to venerable forest!, hacking and mutilating picturesque objects, and spoiling the magnificent geysers with ntones and logs. In comparison with the hido ouh product of recklessness and wantonness capable of such acts of destruction and dese cration, the wdd Indian, though called a Haw age, is to bo esteemed a gx itleman.

There aro very few of the defeated con gressmen who are in first-rate shape to go home aud re-tume former business. In the case of law yers, this is especi illy true. Most of thoia are middle-aged men who, six or eight venri ago, left a fair practico to come to congress. In the meantime fresh blood has come into their towns, younger men have established them selves, and gathered up the practice, and it is not easy, indeed it is almost impossible, to supplant them. It would seem that men with a growing law practice, men who depend on thoir own re sources for a livelihood, would anticipate tho result of a suspension of private busiuess during years spent iu the public service. The partner who is left at home to look after the congressman's interests retains only the cli ents who rely on him ; tho remainder turn to other lawyers, aud when the defeated member returns to his home he finds himslf practically out of work. However, ths poor lawyer who aspires to be a legislator ehuts his eyes to the future and de ckles to enter politics. I romthat moment ex penses begin. He must contribute to the cam paign fund, aud contribute liberally, or he will not bo carried through. It may be that the contest is so clo i0 that ho is obliged to mortgage his honie to raise fuiids. Hid free dom of speech is at once curtailed. He is no longer a freeman. He is worried and harassed on everv hide. But there is a partial recompense. 1'ho futrd day arrives. Our candidate is i.uceo.-sful and becomes a member-elect. Can ho now give himself up to intoxicating dreams of his own eloquence in the halls of the nation's capitol? Can his leisure hours be filled with imaginings of h s own speeches ou the "burning issues" of ti.o day? Kot at all. The election debris is no sooner cleared away than the wrangle for office begins. There aro collectorshipa and clerkships and postoffices to be fought over, with the surety that a vast majority of tho ap plicants must be disappointed in the end and thus converted from friends into working antagonists, aud the struggle does not stop when the unhappy member finally escapes to Washington. There bitter disappointment awaits him. He is placed on an unimportant committee. His speeches are not listened to with deference or attenflon.he is not so quickly recognized by the speaker of the house as the older members his influence in the depart ments is small; he is not in demand in Rociery. Our congressman grows dasperate; his prido is touched and he resolves to "conquer or die. " He studies finance. He ax aminos one branch of the subject iu its minutest detail and biding his time burst into the arena with an array of facta and a com mand of language that surprises the house into listening. They at once discover the true ring of his speech aud give him their univorsal at tention. They applaud him, congratulate him, shake his hand; he is the hero of .iie hour. His star ia now in the ascendant He no longer talks to empty benches. His constitu ents who have followed him to Washington for clerkships are gradually stowed away in the department pigeon hole. His wife and daughters become more prominent as social figures, and bis own presence is in good de mand at dinner names. Our representative baa now clear sailing. He goes home, secures his re-election and returns, and l-egius work to secure a good committee position for the next congress. Ho Bticeeeds and is given a prom inent p!ace on a prominent committee. In this way he becomes intimate with the "leaders" of the house, is oocasionallv spoken of himself as a leader, aud from ibat becomes an ob ject of interest to the galierie-4. His affairs are now at t'ood tide and the ebb is so gradual th it he does not realize it There appears on the clear horizon a li tie disturbance over a post oflice in his d s'rict A numerously signed petition to remove the preseut incumbent is sent to him. Tins he refuses to do, as the postmaster ia one of bis own appointments, and in many respects a suitable person for the oftice.

A Curious; Htory and an Odd I'olnel deore. Troy Times. When tho late Dean Stanley was in this coun try ho spent an evening with Bishop Williams iu Hartford. The conversation had turned to the subject of the French and Indian war, and the doan displayed great knowledge con jeruing the history of those days. At loughth Ticon doroga w: s mentioned, and tho Englishman asked: ' Did you ever li ar, bishop, tho story of Duncuri Campbell of Iuveraugh? Weil, there happened, shortly after the defeat of Edward tho Pretender, to be a riveting of gen tlemen in tha west of Scotiund, whose conver sation !tu nod upon political subjects. It was dangerous ground, for part of thorn were in favor of the family of Hanover, and the rest wore partisans of Charles Sinart. Tho discus sion waxed hot, aud at length Hword.s wero drawn. The quarrel was oiily ended when one of the contestants fell ile.d. Thoie lived at that tiitio, as they do to-day, near the jilacu of quarrel, the family of Campbells of lnvcr angh. Duncan Campbell was then the he id of the clan, and to him the unfortunate man appealed for protection. With tho usual hos pitality of a Highlander the Campbell granted him shelter, and swore to defend him in his misfortuuo. The following day tho startling news came to the chief that the mur dered mail was his own cousin, and that he was sheltering the slayer of a kinsman. That night the cousin came" to Campbell in a dream and demanded of him vengeance for bis death. The honorable soul of the chieftain revolted from any treachery, and he told his guest of the dream. Again night came, and again the cousin appeared, asking for retribution. Un able to break his vow, Campbell sent his guest away to the mountains under a strong escort, and trusted ho would at length sleep iu peace. But at dead of night came that ghastly visitor and said in tones of anger: 'Duncan Campbell, we will meet at Ticonderoga.' The Highlander awoke next morning with a great feeling of re lief. Ticonderoga' was a word he had never heard, and whether the spirit referred to a realm of the other World or was inventing words to scare him he neither knew nor cared. "Years went by, and at length Duncan Camp bell found himself a major in the Scotch ran gers under Abercronibie in the expedition against the French on Lake George in the sum mer of 1758. The army, the largest ever as sembled in America up "to that time, had sailed down the lake iifk thousand boats aud landed near its outlet. To the Scotch major the name Ticonderoga, against which point the expedition was directed, had sounded with an awful and ominous import His colonel, by name Gordon-Grahant-t who knew the story, endeavored to cheer his drooping spirits, but it was with a heavy heart that tho Highland chieftain pre- Sared his men for attack. The story of that ay's disaster is well known ; how the brave Lord Howe fell early m the action; how the brawny Scotchman attempted to scale tho breastworks, and how at length the retreat was sounded after the loss of irno men. Mortally wounded, Duncan Camrlell was carried from the field, and breathed his lsl in the liojpjt.it at Fort Edward. Just before his death ho sai J to Gordon-Graham: 'As I slept last night after the battle, colonel-the spirit of my cousin came to me and said: 'Duncan Campbell, we have met at Ticonderoga. ' "Such," said the dean, in conclusion, "is tho 'ghoet story of Ticond erga' as I have heard it from tho -present Campbells of Inveraugh, tha descendants of the unfortunate Duncan." The bishop had listened with great interest to the tale, and at its cloee said: "Your story, dean, is now to mo, but I now recollect that 1 havo seen the gravo of Duncan Campbell at Fort Edward. It ia marked by a crumbling slab th-it tells of his death from a wound re ceived in the attack on Ticonderoga. July S, 1758." Thus it happened that one of the only men in England who knew the strange story of the Scotch major told it, by a peculiar chance, to perhaps the only man in America who had noticed the existence of that neglected grave. Mrs. Harriet Ileecher Htove, "Broadway Lounger" in N. Y. Tribnne.
