PEN-SwoRD.-One reasons the
other dictates; one argues, the
other commands; one pleads, the
other frees; one appeals to mind,
the other to fear; one elevates, the

DaY and Night in sweden.


The peculiarities of day and
night in Sweden strike the traveller
very forcibly after being accustom-

the. sun goes down in Stockholm q
little before 10 o'clock. There is a
great Illumination all night, as the
sun passes round the earth toward
the North Pole, and the. refraction
Of its rays is such that you can see

night. The sun reaches the hori-
zon; you can see the whole face Of
it, and in i've minutes more it be

go down for several weeks. In
June it would be about 25 degrees
above the horizon at midnight. In
the winter the sun disappears, and

minutes, after which it descends
and finally does not set at all, but
makes almost a circle round the
heavens.

SMALL POX.

The following suecinct facts, in reference
10 this terrible disease, have been indispu
tably established by the careful observa-
tion Of scientific mon at homo and abroad
!. That infants should be vaccinatcd in
a month aiicr birth.
2. That vaccination should be repeated
at the age of fourteen years.
8. That the older persons grow after that,
the less danger there is Of an attack Of small
pox or varioloid, which is small pox modi-
hed by previous vaccination, and that after
fifty years there is no danger Of an attack. !
4. Still, II there is any danger ofunusual
exposure 10 the disease, or II Il prevails
largely in community, 1t is safer TO be
vaccinated again.
8. Nurses In small pox hospitals who arc
re.vaccinated are almost wholly exempt,
while other nurses, who are careless Of re-
vaccination, have vnrioloid ir cases ten
times moro numerous.
q. That the father the remove Of the vac
cine matter from what was taken from the
COW, tho more necessary Is revaccinRtion-
that is. vaccine matter loses some of rs
power Ia every person it passes through,
hence IL city practitioners should take all
their matter from the cow direct, every ten
years, the community would be greatly
safer.
I. No authenticated case has yet occurred
where any disease has been communi-
Gated through vaccine matter, other than
modified small pox. This statement
should be fixed upon the memory OF the
intelligent r,nder, as bare assertions To the
contrary are recklessly made by certain
class OF uneducatod persons, who write on
matters pertaining 10 health and disease.
T. Itisa very rare occurrence that any
personIwho has been once well vaccinated
and was in good health ut the time suffers
from varioloid Those who have varioloid
after having been vaccinated once suffer
because Il did not take well or some other
disease was in the system at the time, OF
the matter was at too great remove from
the original source, the COW.

the forgeries committed by men inthelegiS-

hoped that there was an end 10 that new
kind OF villany Z get into Office and prhc-
ticed while In Office. One case we chroni-
cled was that of an Assemblyman In New
York, who forged the speakers name to N
bill. Another case was that Of candidate
for Assembly who had forged his grand
fathers name 10 very important docu-
ment, and there may have been more, but
they do not jHst now occur 70 as, but anoth-
or forgery very recently came 10 light, cf
which the New York San makes mention
as follows:
'It Is reported that the Hon. Israel T.
Hatch Of Buffalo has alleged In . recent

tive Appropriation bill oflaat winter giving
afty thousand dollars 10 the Messrs. Lord

Of which were exposed In the Sun at the

do it by swindling contract. or legalized

and what Is most lamenfable. is, that men

they had combined with rings to rob and
