TIMELY DoNATIoS.-Gen. Babcock, in charge
OF public buildings and grounds, yesterday sent
| TO the treasurer of the Children's Hospital the
sum of one hundred dollars, for the uses OF that
institution. The history of this donation is some
what interesting, as it shows not only the inter
est felt in the hospital by those who know its
usefulness, but also the thoughtful attention of
Gen. Babcock for the comfort and pleasure of
the poor and suffering. When the agent of the
European circus applied for the use of the gov
eminent reservation between Ak and 9th streets
the request was granted on condition that the
children from the Soldiers and Sailors Orphan
Asylum should be admitted free, and that in
addition the sum of 500 should be paid. These
terms being complied with, the orphans had
their enjoy ment as contemplated, and yesterday
General Babcock donated the sum received as
above stated, with the assurance that, as all
classes of the poor, irrespective of race and
color, were received and cared for by the hos
pital, he felt confident that the money would be
of great service in its hands.
This action is in the highest degree creditable.
alike to Gen. Babcock and the managers of the
institution in question, and it illustrates the
truth of remark made by one of our promi
nent citizens a day or two since, that If the
public fully understood its usefulness il would
never be in need of funds.

epidemic disease 1t is in evidence that
in many instances where the greater
portion of the population Of an entire

bilious remittent fevers, the few who
have had sufficient forecast to take the

taken when the fever is of, it will soon
control the paroxysms, and when the
