1NoCULATION FOR CHOLERA.-InoculatO with
"Caustc Issue" now creating so much excite
ment and wonder among the medical Swans of
Europe and us, from the simplicity its char
acter was not discovered by distinguished
Berlin physician, but by an American physi-
clan, well known in this country. 1t was sent
by him to the leading minds of this country
and Europe, as far back as lS47, and is grad
ually being tried as a successful and practical
experiment since then. 1t is now seeking its
way into the Prussian, and Russian armies, and
ere long it will no doubt be introduced into
Austria, France and England. 1t will extend
itself with electrical effect over the world as
the opposite ofvaccination, entirely neutralizing
another pestlence. 1t is noticed by physicians
as singular fact, that small pOx precedes and
succeeds this Asiatic cholera The late Rus
sian Minister, Bodisco, introduced it to the no.
tice OF the Emperor Of Russia a year prior to
his demise.
AS a successful experiment, it is now show
ing itself in practical illustrations Of its pre-
tentative power, in isolated instances over
this country, and will no doubt hereafter be-
come fixed fact. This simple process will
when introduced. be the means Of saving large
sums to European Governments, together with
the lives of their soldiers. The discoverer re-
ceives, as reward. so noticed by the European
presses, diplomas from the crown CT each mon
arch. The prizes through all Europe offered
since 1919, for an ''dbSOiute and reliable pre-
uentire" of this pestilcnce and that have been
accommodating since 1918, amount to the sum of
9l4S,0U0.
The first prizes are to be awarded by Napo-
leon ILL., subject to the decision of the Royal
Academy OF Medicine. Paris.
THE INCREASE OF CRIME.-The enormous in
crease of crime which marks in so palpable a
manner the age in which we live, is arrestng
the attention of the press in some portions of
the country. The truth of the charge is but too
painfully verified as a contemporary remarks,
that "indvidual and national villainy never
Haunted in such gay colors or stalked forth such
an easy or assured challenge" Murders, rapes,
and rObberes are things which are at present
rife to an appalling eNtent-so much so, indeed,
that ii might seem as if the demon of reckless
ness and sin had been turned loose upon our
fair land to run riot and spread dcsolation and
misery in its wake.
These things We say, must be apparent to
the most unOl,scrvant eye. To trace their caus-
es and give satisfactory explanation of the
direful condition of affairs in a manner at once
well defined and conclusive in every instance,
would require little short of the ken of Omnis

CATALOGUE OF CRIME.-We may be mistaken
and we hope we are, in the belief that there has
been of late an unwonted frequency in the oc-
currcnce of atrociOus and unparalleled crimes
in this country. For Il few days or weeks past
the record of this description has been full and
that public appetite which feeds upon the hor-
rblc must have been more than satiatcd by the
details which these reports of crime have at
tordcd.-Taunton (.Iass.) Gaz., .4ug IL.

The Railroad Convention have resolved to
reduce the expenses by dispensing with the
services of all runners and agents, and by run
