Voted it Upside down.
We have heard Of good story, told by
son Of Erin's Isle, says the Trinity Journal,
which is worth repeating:
Some two years ago there was quite
struggle between two certain prominent
Democrats of Weavervile, as to which
sho Id 60 delegate to the State Convention.
The evening prior to holding the county
Convention, which was to nominate State
delegates, a primary meeting was held in
town to elect delegates to attend said coun-
ty convention. Judge NJ, and Squire
j, each had ballots printed with the
names Of their friends upon them. The
Jud ge's delegates were beaten, and before
retiring consoled himself by loading his hat
with bricks. Next morning, in good season
acting upon the principle that "a hair Of the
dog is good for the bte," he went in pursuit
of hair" Just as he was calling for the
decor,ion, Billy McBarney stepped into the
saloon and saluted the Jul lge, when the fol
lowing dialogue ensued
'1he top'o the mornin' to We Judge. And
the murlerin thaves bate us last night en-.
tirely,--The curse o the world light on em"
"Good morning, Billy. Yes, the Squire
was rather heavy. But aay Bill | under
stand YOU voted against me. How is it!"
BILLY McBlarney vote agn ye? The Iy
ing spa'peens! I;y me sowl, Judge I'd
rather have me whiskey stopped for year,
than to do that same thing"
"What ticket did YOU vote, Billy!"
"And sure, | voted the ticket wild yer
honor's name on the top av it,"
"Bu, Billy, my name was the last on the
list-at the bottom"
This was rather puzz!er for Billy; he
scratched his head for an instant, when sud
denly looking up, he exclaimed:
"What fool l am! I voted that ticket
upside do,cn!
The Judge Immediately ordered an eye
opener for Billy; he had fairly beat him o."

VACCINATION OF INFANrs.-M. Kuhn says
the Bordeaux Journal of Medicine found
that vaccination performed on infants the
second, third, or fourth day Of previous
vaccination always succeeded When per.
formed on the fifth day, it took in one half
cases. If attempted on the seventh, eighth,
or ninth day, it failed. Hence according to
these experiments, vaccination does not be.
gin to be protective until after four days from
the inoculation, and as variola has an incu.
baton Of three or four days, it may happen
that person exposed to it on the fourth day
after vaccination may be seized with the
small pox at a moment when vaccine visicle is
at the highest point Of development. 1t is
not until the ninth day after vaccination
therefore, that one can be considered secure
from the smallpox.
