e deemed certain
that M. Pasteur has discovered a method of protection from rabies
comparable with that which vaccination affords against infection from
smallpox." As many think there is no protection at all, the question
is not finally settled. It is only the stubborn ignorance of the
medical profession which gives to Pasteur's experiments their great
celebrity and importance. Other methods have been far more successful
than Pasteur's. Xanthium, Scutellaria (Skull-cap), the vapor bath, and
chloroform or nitrous oxide are more powerful and reliable than any
morbid inoculation.

JOHN SWINTON'S paper, at New York, has come to an end. Swinton was a
bold, eloquent, and fearless advocate of human rights as he understood
them. His failure is an honor to him, and his name will be remembered.
Perhaps if he had imitated the Boston dailies, by giving ten to
eighteen columns to the record of base ball games, he might have put
money in his purse, instead of losing it.

In marked contrast to John Swinton's failure, observe the success of
the _New York Tribune_, a newspaper founded by Horace Greeley, but
which, since his death, has given, in its unscrupulous course, a good
illustration of the Satanic press. The _Boston Herald_ says: "The _New
York Tribune_ is perhaps as good an illustration of the old-fashioned
partisan journal as there is in the country. There was an amusing
reminiscence of the methods that used to be practised when the
_Tribune_ was found claiming the Legislature of Kentucky as having
been carried by the Republicans in the late elections. The fact was
that the Democratic majority in that body was about five to one, and
there was really no excuse in a metropolitan journal for not knowing
such to be the case." The _Tribune_ once complimented highly the
JOURNAL OF MAN, but that was when Horace Greeley was alive.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND PROGRESS.--The last legislature of Pennsylvania
passed a very radical law, providing that marriage shall not impose
any disability as to the acquisition or management of any kind of
property, making any contracts, or engaging in any business. However,
she is not authorized to mortgage her real estate without her
husband's co-operation, nor become endorser for another alone. As to
making a will she has the same rights as a man.

Ohio has also advanced woman's rights by enabling both husband and
wife to dispose of property as if unmarried, and by giving each party
