rHE SMALLPOX HOSPITAL |.

THE SMALLPOX HOSPITAL IN
SAN FRANCIsCO.-Therc were $50
persons sick with smallpox in this
institution at last dates; but the
following testimony of a nurse re
veals shOckingly indifferent aud
cruel manner of treatment, under
which very few can hope to get well

poses and says that on the 10th in

pital i'll this city, to take care OF his
sister, who was at that date convey
ed to said hospital, sick with the
smallpox; that she went there that
day and found Miss Costigan we'll
broken out; that She was placed III
an open room, over the room for the
reception of the dead, and that the
room i'm which she was thus placed
was high room with cracks in it,
through which any one could plain
ly see, allowing the cold air to pass
through the same there was no
stove nor fire in the room, and the
air was so chilly that | was obliged
to keep my shawl wrapped closely
around me to keep warm, and then
was unable to 90 so: remained
there four days; that 1t was impoS-
sible when the patients were deliri-
Gus and threw off their bcdclo.heS,
to prevent them from taking cold ;
that in consequence of the GOODNESS
of the room Miss Costigan took cold,
and died from the effects thereof ;

ATROCITIES OF GEN. DCPEZ..-
Mr.. Bliss, who has arrived home af-
ter his release from captivity i'll Par-
aguay, states that nearly all the
foreign residents i'll Paraguay have
been executed. All of Lopez ac-
quaintances, one hundred or more,
have been sacrificed Oh the mad sup
position that they were consplring
against him. His army once num-
bcring nearly 150, 600 men, has been
reduced to 5000, and the contest
has become a guerrilla warfare. Mr..
Bliss also says:
"Mai. Manlovc, a rembcr of the
| American legation, was arrested by
Lopez previous to Ny. WaslIburn's
departure, and was tried Oh the
charge of being concerned in which
Bliss aud Masteaman were accused
of taking part. He was certainly
executed but Mr.. Bliss could not
I learn whether his execution took
place on or before the general mas
sacre on the 21st of Dec. Another
Hmercan, James Carter, was killed
about the same time, and possibly
one or two others. At the massa-
ere on the 2l>t. about one hundred
persons were shot. There had pre-
viously been an execution of some
hundreds of prisoners, and the last
lot included all the most prominent
political prisoners who had been
kept to the last. Among them were
former members of Lopez admins
tiation, ministers of his cabinet who
had been his active tools, but had
! fallen under suspicion; there were
his own brother, his brother-inlaw
the bishop of Paraguay, the Portu'
guese cot sl', sew tral merchants, and
many generals and colonels OF the
ParaguaYan service.
Ninteen-twentietbs of the male
population of Paraguay have per
ished in the war or by the various
massacres ordered by Lopez. The
tyrant is heartily detested by all
survivors, but they feel poweiless
to rise against him. Every man is
considered a spy on everybody else
and nobody can organize consplr
acy without being discovered. Lo
PEI is evidently preparing to leave
the country; he has sent large sum'
of money to Europe, and will pro
badly follow it when he has
thoroughly depopulatcd Paraguay.

do they differ in size? 1t used to
be coniccturcd they are of similar

CHLOROFORM ON THE GALLONS.
The Sheriff of Oneida county,
New York, at the recent execution
of Wm. II. Carswell, gave the Grim.
inal chlOrotorm before the execution
took place. An Indictment has
new been brought against the Sher-
if for malteasance in office, and the
New York Legislature is about to
investigate the suhicct. and decide
whether 81 not he shall he removed
from Office. The 4Iound upon
which the charges against the Sher
III are based is that by means of the
chlorotolm the victim suffered less
than he would without it, and that
III this way his punishment was rob
bed of part of its terror. The ques
/ OF is an interc sting one, and is re
criving much attention III New
York. The question at issue Seems
to be whether the idea of capita
punishment is simply to deprive the
criminal Of life, in which case tho
easier it is accomplished the better
or whether the manner in whicl
death is reached is an importan,
element of the punishment.

HOUSEHOLD MANNERS.-N e some
times meet with men who seem to
think that any indulgence in an at.

They will return from journey and
meet their families with Il distant

dor of an iceburg, surrounded 10y its

unnatural sight on earth than one
of these families without a heart.

God is love. Love God, every body
