PreXentiIes ot Small P0X.

A medical friend has directed our atten. ton 10 the following quotations. The first, from the letter of Df. kHopE to citz'ns of Memphis;
 Ut is known that when small pox matter Is taken from the human system and is insertch into the tissues of the COW, it is so modified by vital laws or functions of the animal as to produce the true COW pox, or vaccina Lymph taken from such pustules is the true and only reliable vaccine matter. x
 A few cows are needed at the small DON hospital to supply its inmates with milk these animals should be innoculated with small pox matter and efforts made to produce the disease. This accomplished, we have virus that is necessarily pure, and the very same that Jenner disseminated after lis great discovery. ,
 The second quotation is from Gro. GpE- CORY, NJ. D., physician to the small pox hos pital at Highgate, resident in London, who is applied 10 by medical men all over the world for information on eruptiye diseases;
 "Jcnner JeAeced that in giving to man COW poS, he was in reality giving to him small poN in it's primitive and widest form. Some of the followers ofJenner have adopted this fan cg'H notion,
 Diseases that naturally produce such other are clearly referrab.e to the same origin. Thus, swine pox and small pox are the same diseases: but COW pox and small poX are differ emily circpmstanced In man no combination of cirepmstances however unfayorable, has ever converted COW pox into small pox; and no cure has ever succeeded in converting tho small pox into the COW pox-"

Ggg7 Josh Billings tayors the world with a briefessay on dogs Dogs, in the lump, says John, 'are useful but they are notalways pro dtable The Newfoudlanddog is useful to save children from drowning; but you must have a pond ofwater and children running-Gbut karo- less, or elsethcdo aint profitable. There ain,t nothing made boarding New Foundlin' dog, But tarriers are useful to catch rats, but the rats ain't profitable after you have ,ketehed them. The shepherd dogis uscfulto drive, sheep and pay more than they are worth just to keep tLe dog pussy, the dog aint prohtable-not much. Lap dogs. are yeryuscful; but if you dont't hold them in your lap awl the time, they ain proftableat all. The coach dog is one of of the most useful oy dogs know oy butyoumusthayeac coach (and dtAqtam't always plcasant(, or you cant realize from the dog. Thus we see that while dogs are generally useful, there are times when they ain't ginerally proftable.'

The First Dny or C0uwrass.

The first day Of the second session OF the
Thirty ninth Congress was "big with the fate
OF Cesar and of Rome First. there WAS a
procession Of the republican city clubs and
freedmen in honor Of the two houses. Next
after the call OF the roll OF the House, an
orthodox radical prayer from the Chaplain and
the reading of the MESA re, in spite Of mo-
ton OF the impacable Stevens to postpone IL
till to-dsy-a bill was rushed through-1l1 to
29-repcaling the thirteenth section Of the am
nesty act, authorizing the President 70 grant
pardons. and was sent over to the Senate,
where, by an objection interposed II was laid
over for one day. This hill does not look well
for Greecy's programme OF universal am
nc.ty for impartial suffrage but what II really
signifies will doubtless soon appear.
Next, Mr.. Boutwell, brings In his bill direct
ing The Secretary Of the Treasury TO sell two
millions Of gold every Monday. and Mr..
Scbenck brings 10 his bill providing for the as
scmbling Of the first session Of the Fortieth
Congress on the 4th OF March, both Of which
