A gentleman whose custom it was to
entertain very often circle of friends,
observing that one of them was in the
habit of eating something before grace was
asked. determined to cure him. Upon the
repetition of the offence, he said: "For
what we are about to receive, and for what
James Taylor has already received, the
Lord makes us truly thankful.
A little boy in Brooklyn Sunday
school was asked lately which was the
most beautiful verse in the Bible. After
some hesitation, he replied blushingly, eli
any man pulls down the American flag,
shoot MIN on the spot"
A Guernsey county schoolboy wrote the
following composition" on trees: "There
are great many kinds Of trees, the apple,
peach, plum, cherry, and great many
other kinds. like cherry pie best"
at is pleasant thing to reflect upon, '
says Dickens, "and furnishes complete
answer to those who contend for the
gradual degeneration of the human species,
that every baby born into the world is a
finer one than the last.
A moon-struck boy came fooling around
house the other night with cracked
guitar and creaky voice, singing, Put
me in my little bed" A window was
finally opened and a gentleman informed
him that if he didn't "dust they would
stand him on his little head"
A gentleman in Essex, Massachusetts,,
called on one of the shoe dealers in that
town, few days since, and purchased a
pair of shoes for his boy. The shoemaker
took the shoes for the purpose of rasping
OFF the pegs, when the purchaser objected,
because said be, eff the pegs are cut of

The Rscolution says that Miss Antho-
ny's address until the last of March will be
Chicago, and adds that letters with refer
ences to other than lecture engagements
should be marked personal" This is no
doubt intended to mislead the public into
the belief that some one is dying to pro-
pose to Susan. Those Chicago people are
not in the habit of marrying with quite SC
many chances against them.

The SMALLPOX ALARM IN New YORK. =
Seventy-one persons in New York died of
smallpox during the week ending on Sat-
urday last, and twenty-seven in the pre-
vious week. In all ninety-eight deaths in
fortnight from this terrible disease. The
rapid increase last week has created a
well-founded alarm, and it suggests the
necessity of prompt and thorough VAGINA
ton.
DR.. Morris, the city sanitary inspector,
cautions the public against serious error
which may lead to still worse results,
namely: the impression that mild case
of varioloid will not reproduce smallpox
The prevalence of this idea has caused a
neglect of sanitary precautions. 1t is
proved that smallpox is as easily commu-
ncated to other persons, unprotected by
vaccination, from the mildest case Of vari-
oloid as from the worst form of smallpox.
The poison is only one of degree, being
The same in both instances, varioloid being
simply smallpox modified by The vaccine
of ow-pox.-Neao York Commercial.

TENNESsEE-ANoTHER DEPARTURE"
NASHVILLE, May 31,-The democrats Of the
twenty-irst civil district of this county, the
second largest outside the city of Nashville, have
adopted resolutions that, inasmuch US the pres
ent state constitution gives the colQred Man
every civil and political right enjoyed by the
whites, the validity of the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments forms no substantial issue
before the people of Tennessee, and no person
or paper continuing the agitation of that ques-
ton is entitled to the confidence or support OF
the democracy of the state.
The meeting also resolved to organize itsel
into posse cOmitdtuS, to be ready at the call OF
United States marshal or sheriff to arrest anC
bring to justice any person violating the pro
visions of the kukluX act in Tennessee, anC
binding themselves to pursue with hue and cry
the offender beyond the confines of the district
offering a standing reward of one hundred dol
lars for the arrest and conviction of every offend
er in the district, and requesting the democrats
of other counties to organize clubs under thes
resolutions. Among the signers was eX-Gov
Henry s. Foote q member of the Confederate
congress, and Others of the most influential and
best citizens Of the state, many of whom were
rebels during the war. The resolutions are en-
dorSed by every democratic voter in the district,
and will undoubtedly be adopted by every coun,
ty in the state.
oHIO-MoRE OF THE SAME sRoT.
COLUMBUS, o., May 31.-A large number of
delegates to the democratic convention to-mor-
row are in the city. 1t is probable that a NEW
departure" will be taken but not so pronounced,
as Vallandigham's Dayton resolutions.

test day of the season, the thermometer mark
ing SO degrees from p. NJ. until nearly I
o'clock Five cases of sunstr0ke are reported;
one fatal.
Three sneak-thieves, all less than twenty
years old were arrested yesterday for stealing
silver-ware from the residences in the vicinity of
Fifth and Lexington avenues. The operation
was performed with the aid of trained pigeon,
which would fly into the kitchen or yard and
one or more of the gang would get permission
to go after it. While the attention of all the in
mates of the house would be thus attracted the
other confederates raUsacked the building.
The decoration exercises at Cypress Hill cem-
etery were closed hastily yesterday, Gen. jeff.
G. Davis, Major Page and Others leaving the
platform because the orator, Rev. George F..
Pentecost, spoke too freely upon political sub
jects.
Commodore Vanderbilt declared last night
that he would appeal from the recent decision
of Commissioner Pleasant0n, ordering the col
lection OF five per cent on interest certificates
issued by the New York Central road, to the
United States courts. Vanderbilt says that I'M
der no section OF the internal revenue laws is
the New York CentralFallroad company amen
able to this tax, as the certificates issued by
that company merely represented the improved
value of property upon which the payment of
dividends was contingent upon the earnings of
the road. The money that bad been spent upon
tbis improvement had been accommodating from
| 1858 to 1868, and although the internal revenue
| law was not passed until 1854, yet the govern
| meut now claimed percentage upon the accumu-
lations for seven years previous to the law taxi

of a committee OF the senate" After the resolve
had passed the house, the senate adopted an
order to pay Dexter S. King $500, "for contin-
gent expenses of a committee of the senate pur-
suant to the provisions of a resolve entitled,
