The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-06-02

The children attending the public schools have
been threatened with vaccination, but have escaned
20 far. Smallpox has been in the city and about one
hundred cases have been taken TO Blackwel,,a
Island There ia no prospect OF epidemic OF that
disease however, and the health ofloera have anna
renty thought better OF their first Intentions I'm re-
gard 10 vacoinating the school children DIR Swim
burne, the Health O6icer at Quarantine is said 20
be rapidly vaocinatlng his way on to fortune Gossp
says that his hand Is raised against every craft thai
noats in quarantine waters, and that his head does
not contentedly touch pillow at night unless he has
done his best to promulgate the cOwpox among an
indefinite number OF infringers upon quarantine
precincts.
The question OF the hour is, not what is gold to-
day that may have been the question last week.,
but which is the best troupe OF dancers the Clio
doche or the Kiralfy Patti or Kellogg, Rachel or
Ristori, Forrest or Booth, Bennett or Bonner Co-
doche or Kiralfy, it is the same choice over again
For myself don't know. Having seen both can
not pretend to answer. The Clodoche troupe made
their first appearance on Saturday night at Niblos
in Snbad the Sailor and consist of four male French
dancers named Clodoche, Flageolet, Norrsande and
La Comete The Kiralnes number nine per-
sons, male and female of names that invite
unprecedented twistngs OF tooth and tongue in
their pronunciation. They are Hungarans not
necessarily grotesque In the execution OF their
dances, as the CodOche troupe pretend to be- and
of their favorite figures is the "Czardas" which
"That Boy Of NorcOtts." Both Of these troupes are
remarkable nothing like either has yet been seen in
this country The object Of the Clodoche band is to
be as funny as pOssible-of the Kiralnes, to learn
nothing to be required in the way of sensational and
saltatoral feas.. Both theatres are crammed every
night, and, ntimated before, there are emily two
sorts OF theatregoers in the city, the Kralftes and
the Clodochtes.
The EUening Telegram is the comic daily of New
York 1t prints every other day what it calls car
toon, and its column of jokes is good as Punchs
in fact it is Pu1chS. Young Bennett who had the
credit Of being its proprietor is believed to have
withdrawn. Mr.. Dana, of the sun, is going deeper
into the personal abuse business He had an editorial
a day or two ago in his newspaper, in which he
threatened the proprietor of the Telegram with a
most mysterious and unpleasant exposure If that
certain scandaous paragraphs to the dscredt of A.
ID. ltwould be interesting to know how many editors
OF this city held in eroren by letters which,
how or other, have got into hands they were never
intended for. Every now and then a paragraph
occurs in one Of the papers which proves that
scandal is kept secret only because OF the hold thus
given its possessor over the trembling proprietor
OF rival journal. Said rival has to be extremely
careful not to tread upon certain journalistic corns
for the punishment has long been held in abeyance,
and will certainly descend at last. Are there any
editors in Philadelphia, l wonder, who are only
kept quiet through the instrumentality OF certain
unpublished letters which periodically threaten them
with publicity? ALI BABA
