SM ALL-POX.

This disease still prevails il this city to
a considerable extent, although the time
when, according to precedent, it might pe
expec.ed to abate has elapsed by several
weeks. 1t made its appearance during the
fall, which is not an unusual occurrence
and has remained with but little varla-
tion for nearly six months. It has hereto
fore run its course, or been checked oy
prompt measures on the part OF the city
authorities in from sixty to ninety days.
Since its first appearance, the number o.
deaths from that cause is officially re-
ported at over four hundred.
The Board of Health took early action
in the matter, and applied to the Common
Council Tor the usual assistance and an
thority. For some reason, the desired &C.
ton was not taken by tina. body. No pro-
vision was made for the erection OF hos
pital or for renting a suitable place to
which to send injected persons. Even the
authority to remove patients was withheld.
At one time the Sanitary Police erected
small, yellow flags for the purpose OF point
ing out to passers by the localities where
smallpox was known to exist, but this
practice was Of no possible benefit, and
and was not long continued.
The Board of Health adopted the plan
! of free vaccination, and gave notice to the
, public where this could be performed, and
this was about the extent of the relief they
were enabled to afford. That they accom-
plished much good by this process there
is every reason to believe but as they
could only reach a fraction of the public,
! but little influence was exercised in check
ing the spread of the epidemic. It will be
seen by the notice of DR.. White, President
Of the Board, which we publish in another
column, that free vaccination is to be re-
sumed at once, in order to stop, if possi-
BILE, the spread of the disease. The back
ward spring and unusually cold weather
for the season, affect injurionsly smallpox
patients, and render in many cases the ef-
forts Of the physician unavailing.
Every person liable to infection should
attend to the subject without delay, and
either apply to his own physician or tc
one of those pointed out by the Board fol
vaccination.

The representatives of the journals of the

in regard to the propriety OF signing mani

1t is probable that no manifesto will be

continue after the plebicite.
The party of the right centre had formed

This committee has already issued g.

the success which must attend an institution

The knights OF Pythias hall.

The end of Lent will be celebrated by a
grand fancy dress and mask ball, to be given
by the knights of Pythias, at Odd Fellows
Hall, on Monday, the eighteenth. The
names OF the gentlemen composing the
committee OF arrangements have been an
nounced to the public through the columns
Of the papers. The most ample and ex-
tensive preparations have been made to
make the affair worthy Of the reputation OF
the Brotherhood, which is Of the very high
est order. Already, and for several days
past, the number OF tickets sold has been
more than sufficient to assure the most graf
flying financial results. AID as the pro-
ceods are to be devoted TO the benefit OF their
relief fund.- this fact forms one Of the graft.
flying features Of the undertaking.
That it will be one of the greatest social
reunions that has taken place in this city
during the season, we have no doubt. More
than thousand ladies' invations have been
issued to the fair members of the house
holds of the brotherhood, and tender hearts
are in fiutter of excitement and anxious
delight in consequence Of the expected good
time in store for them on Monday; when, es-
corted by their gallant knights, they will
enter the gaily lighted hall to the sound Of
soul-inspiring music. The milliners and
costumers in all parts of the city are put
under requisition, and nimhle fingers are
diligently plying the needle in preparation
for the great event; for the Knights are
believed to be the very pink Of chivalry,
and their entertainment will be one at
which to shine resplenden:ly will be 6
crowning triumph.
The order of Knights of Pythias has
grown to widespread organization, en-
bracing five lodges, numerously attended.
The members are among the best young
men Of the city. They are naturally imbued
with the generous spirit of brotherly love
which lies at the foundation of the order,
and are bound to each other no less by the
natural promptings of their nature than by
the obligations they assume Cn entering the
brotherhood.
A fete prepared and conducted by the
Knights can NO: fail. therefore, to be q grand
affair, and long to be remembered.
we understand tnat IL Is Lne inLenllon oi
the officers of the various lodges to appear
on the floor in full regalia, thus affording
the fair sex something of an insight into the
mysteries Of what is otherwise to them

According to the following, from the
Pensacola Observer, Morgan proposes to
establish line of steamers begeen New
Orleans and that port:
In previous issue we stated that Mr..
Morgan had announced his intention to run
a line of his steamers to this point from New
Orleans. This intention becomes daily more
evident. His agents at New Orleans
are continuing the negotiation with our
railroad company. and the inducements at
this point are 30 strong that it does seem
that Mr.. Morgan will not leave the field open
to other lees competent men. To say moth
ing Of the easy and cheap handling of
frejghts by this route, the saving of twelve
hours time between New Orleans and New
York by the same, is matter which begins
to attract attention.

which, in effect, provides for the purchase
of the existing lines, and places them under
the Government control, prohibiting at the
same time any other lines from being work
ed by private parties or corporations. 1t
proposes TO connect the lines with all post
offices, and provides for a cheap rate for
messages. 4 similar bill is pending in the
Senate. 1t is believed that the House is op-
posed to the proposed system, but it is not
safe to declare this positively.
