SMALLPOX and Vaccination.

1t was stated some days ago, on the au-
thority of reports from California, where
smallpox has been prevailing to a fright
full extent. that vaccination proved Of no
avail, and that even persons who had pre-
viously had the disease, and were we'll mark
ed by it on every part Of their body, con-
tracted it second time and died of it.
These facts; which seem to be we'll authen
ticated, were calculated to alarm the public
mind and to destroy confidence in the
only preventive hitherto relied on. The
subject seems to be attracting the attention
of medical men, and DIR. Hall, in late
number of his Journal of Health, gives
the following as his opinion.
l. Infantile vaccination is an almost per-
feet safeguard until the fourteenth year.
2. At the beginning of the fourteenth
the system gradually loses its capability Of
resisting until about twenty-one, when
many persons become almost as liable to
smallpox as if they had not been vaccina-
ted.
3. The liability remains in full force
until about %, when the susceptibility be-
gins to decline, and continues for seven
years to grow less and less, becoming ex-
| tinct in about fifty, the period Of life when
the general revolution of the body begins
to take place. during which the system
yields to decay, or takes a new lease of life,
| for two or three terms of seven years each.
4. The great practical use to be made of
| these statements is-let every youth be re-
vaccinated on entering fourteen. Let sew
eral attempts be made. SO as to be certain
of safety. AS the malady is more liable to
prevail in cities during winter, special at
tention is invited to this subject at this
time.

EoGrIec Senatorial District.

The election for Senator in this District
on the 18th instant, has, we regret to learn,
resulted in the election Of Mr. A. J. Jones,
toe Republican candidate, by large
majority. The returns which reach US
from various sources are not official or full,
but sufficient to indicate the above result
Columbus county gave an unexpected vote
in favor of Jones, which at once puts the
election beyond doubt
We had hoped better for the people of
Columbus and Bladen, knowing as they
did the corruption of this man while in
Office; but our hopes are disappointed, and
dishonesty and worthlessness have again
triumphed over integrity and true merit.

shrewd Method of Evading the Tariff
Laws.

One of the shrewest lodges yet invent
ed for evading the payment of duty on
imported goods has just been reported to
the treasury. A Boston hotel keeper,
wishing to furnish his hotel with the very
best of furniture at the cheapest possible
cost, went to Paris, short time since,
rented a house, bought about $50, 900
worth of furniture and took it into the
house. A portion of the furniture, such
as bedding, towels carpets, &C., were made
up in the house by workmen employed
for the purpose. An officer of the customs
in New York city, who happened to be in
Paris at the time, was invited by the hotel
proprietor to become his gaest, to which
he consented, thereby saving all expenses
of board, lodging, &c. In few days af-
ter the customs officer left, the furniture
was shipped for New York, and, it Is alleg-
ed, was admitted free of duty on the proper
evidence having been submitted showing
that the goods were personal effects whlch
had been in use before shipment Once
landed in New York, the furniture was
forthwith carried to Boston, and the enter
prising Yankee had achieved success.

THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSET.

They tell me that she died to-day,
All! now l we'll know why
So many Angels all day long
Have waited up OH high
Like tieecy clouds they seemed the while they
foated slowly by,
Bus now at sunset there can naught
But Heavenly brightness vie
With the glory of their garments as they fill the
Western sky,
The Angels that have called her long,
They surely now have come
To greet their sister spirit, and
They'll safely bear her from
The pain and ills she has endured and gently lead
her home
And while we lay that precious form
Within the silent tomb,
The ''songs of Praise that Angels sing" shall
sound through Heavens dome.
Two years ago she wept babe,
Whose life had just begun,
1t "wss exhsled to Heaven like
dew-drop in the sun"
An ,ther Angels wing might hide the tiny little
But she will find it-she will hear
Her baby's faintest tone
By every mother impulse she will know and
claim her own.

That echoes family ring
Of music from their golden harps,
While Angel voices sing
Come, earth-worn spirit rest upon the footstool
of tho King'
10! in the West through pearIy gates
The host is entering.
His presence ! See Heav'ns brightness fall on
robe and crown and wing
All could the mourners but look mp
And see that glorious throng,
Gould they bat catch the echoes OF
That joyous, greeting song !;
Could they behold their darling borne on pinions
swift and strong,
And see the smile she's wearing,
As she wings her way along,
They'd be content that God did not her stay on
earth prolong.
Oh weeping ones can ye not lift
Your eyes, can ye not say
6 HIS will be done!" "He giveth, and
Shall he not take away?''
Her place is vacaat in your home-but would ye
bid her stay
And suffer here Look up behold
Her there ia bright array,
Singing " "Hosanna to the Lamb - in realms Of
endless dav.
God pityeth his children, and
But chasteneth in love.
Your Father proves your faith--O, lift
Your broken hearts above
Christ will still the troubled waters, and DER the
waves will move.
With ''Peace be still The Holy Ghost,
The Comforter-tho Dove,
While your beloved wears the crown that waiting

only on account of delay.
