SMALLPOX in California

Letters from California continue
to bring fearful accounts of the
prevalence of smallpox on the Pa
cific coast. In San Francisco the
pest houses are full, and funerals
are of constant occurrence, the bu-
rialS in many cases taking place at
night. The Chinese, it is stated,
have suffered severely, three cases
out of five of the patients belong
ing to this nation terminating fa-
tally. The unusual mortality
arises from the ignorance of the
native doctors. Melancholy as
the accounts from San Francisco
are, the towns in the Southern part
of California, are still great suffer-
ers. Malignant smallpox is at
tacking almost every one, and vac
cination does not seem to afford
any protection. Hospitals have
been hastily organized, but no ben
efits from them have as yet been
perceived. Whole families are
swept away, and in one instance
a father and four children died
within torty-eight Lours. San Ju-
an, a town of 1000 inhabitants,
in Monterey county, about 100
miles from San Francisco, has lost
160 out Of 400 smallpox patients.
In the country, away from the
reach of skillful medical advice,
two-thirds of the Cases, it's assert.

Vampires.

Vampires, so called, are by no
means peculiar to Brazil, but the
veritable creature insinuated itself
into the company Of Americans
which arrived in that country e
few days ago. The writer says:
A party Of Americans went by
the Amazon recently and one Of
them was bled so badly by q YAM
pire as to awake, in a state of ex-
haustion, with a face like a corpse;
the foot of his hammock and the
floor beneath it were saturated
with blood, the flow of which was
staunched with great difficulty
1t is the difficulty Of staunching
the blood which makes the vam-
pire SO dreaded, the quantity which
the creature requires to satisfy
his appetite being comparatively
trifing. Some persons seem to be
liable to their attacks,
while others can sleep in room
infested with them nightly with
impunity. A gentleman living
near Para, and whose house stands
on the bank of an igarape, tells
me that his room is seldom with
out one or more vampires in it af-
ter dark, and they have never mo-
Tested him, although they have
bled an unlucky goat in a shed
beneath his window until the
creature was unable to stand, and
was shot as an act of mercy. A
young English lady who was visit
ing at this house was bitten on
the first night of her arrival, and
nspite of the precautions used,
was again bitten a few days after
wards, bleeding from a wound uu-
der her toe until much weakened.
These animals only make their
attacks IN oarXnepo, "1 1 =" .-e@.

is an effectual safeguard. A ply
sician, long resident here, tells me
that, although poisonous reptiles
are somewhat plenty in the prov
ince, the serious accidents from
this cause scarcely amount 10 half
a dozen annually in a population
of 100000 But enough of rep.
tiles for the present.

Difference in EGGS.

Though most farmers keep fowls,
and raise their own eggs, there
are many who have not learned
the difference there is in the rich
ness and flavor of eggs produced
by well-fed hens and those from
birds that have been halfstarved
through our winters. There will
be some difference in the size, but
far more in the quality. The yolk
of one would be large, fine colored,
and of good substance, and the al
bumen, or white, clear aud pure ;
while the contents of the other
will be watery, as if the parent
fowl had failed to properly carry
out and complete the work nature
had sketched. In order, therefore,
to have good eggs the fowls should
be well fed, and also provided du-
ring the months they are unable
to come to the ground, with a box
containing an abundance of fine
gravel, that they may be able to
grind and prepare their food for
digestion. Ofeggs, those from the
domestic hen are decidedly the
best but those Of ducks and geese
may be used for some of the purpo-
ses of domestic cookery.

HYDRoPHoBIA CURED.--Hydro
phobia has been successfully treat
ed with iodine by DR.. Mussy, of Chi
cago. He has published a paper
detailing his experience IN eight
cases in which the patients were
thought to have been bitten by
rabid animals. He makes the
important statement that In moi
one case out of twenty does by
drophobia result from the bite of
animals supposed to be rabid. OF
the eight cases promptly treated
with iodine, not one resulted ia
tally, nor were any decisive symp
toms manifested. In four of the
cases it was probable that the
wounds were from animals really
rabid, and not in the other four
All were treated alike, in view of
the uncertainty.

CURE FOR IN-GRowING NAILS
1t is stated that cauterization by
hot talIow is an immediate cure
for ingrowing nails. Put a small
piece of tallow in a spoon, and
heat it over a lamp until it be-
comes very hot, and drop two oil
three drops between the nail and
granulations. The effect is almost
magical. Pain and tenderness are
at once relieved, and in a few days
the granulations all go, leaving
the diseased parts dry, and desti
tute of all feeling, SO as to admit
of being pared away without any
inconvenience. The operation cauS
es little if any pain, if the talloW
is properly heated.

Sharp Practice in Ken
tuckV.

The Louisville Democrat relates
funny incident at the present
term of the District Court in that
city. Paul Bangalotti and John
Pareppa had been arraigned under
an Indictment for burglary, Martin
Alonzo Walker, a limb OF the legal
fraternity, famous for his enter
prize ahd energy, appeared as eoun-
sci for the prisoners, and alter
showing conclusively that no case
could be made out against John
Pareppa, the commonwealth at
torney entered a nolle prosequi,
whereupon he was discharged
While the case of Bangalotti was
progressing, Martin Alonzo arose
to his feet and -sternly addres.de}
the court as follows:
MAY it please your honor, l
ask for the peremptory and final
discharge of my client John Pa
reppa.'
His honor gravely informed
Walker that the said Pareppa had
just been discharged.
Walker shook his head and re-
torted: "Not by a long shot-he
is in one of the side rooms, in Gus
tody Of two jack-leg lawyers, and
one of them is sitting on his neck,
while the other is going through
his pocket in search Of fees. l de-
mand the immediate release of my
client"
This startling announcement
elected a great deal of merriment
in court. The court endeavored
to preserve its gravity; and when
order was restored, the police were
instructed to proceed at once to
the scene of conflict and release
Mr.. Walkers client. Pareppa
was brought forth once more a
free man, and the aforesaid attor-
neys insisted that they had been
engaged in the case, and were only
endeavoring by fair means to get
their fee. Pareppa denied that
they had been engaged in the case,
and said he had already given his
lawyer Walker an order on party
who had his money, for fifty dollars.
