a SMASH-UP.
A Curious Case Of Many Consequential
Damages.

A woman tying up a tree at the corner
of Poplar and Washington streets, yes
terday, fell from astep-ladder and fright
ened pair of horses standing near. The
animals broke their fastenings and, with
the heavy farm wagon attached to them,
ran down Fourth at their best speed. On
reaching the market they struck and
broke another wagon and overturned
their own. Each wagon owner employed
a lawyer to see the other; and the law
yers had a small fight in fifteen minutes.
But to 20 back TO the other end Of these
consequential damages The woman
that fell broke her leg, and doctor was
sent for. He came tearing out to the
city's old boundary line, and in crossing
the street railroad track the tire was
wrenched from the wheel of his buggy,
and it topped down at one corner, and
the good doctor was seated in the road
erect upon his head. The block which
his Uranium struck in the Nicolson
pavement was driven three feet into the
ground His neck is supposed 70 have
been "druv up. He straightened it out
again like 8 fop-eared turtle, and leaving
his delapidated wagon trudged along on
foot TO see the gal with broken leg.
The two shysters with bleeding noses,
the doctor with his one-legged buggy,
and the girl that happened TO the aeci-
dent "were all doing well at five O'Clock
yesterday evening. We learned from
enc Of the sore-nosed lawyers late yes
terday evening, that the two wagon
owners mentioned above, had fearful
fight last night, and that both viii be
unfit for serviee this morning. 1t is to
be hoped that women win fall out OF
trees as rarely as possible. Its an ugly
business ia these parts.

United States officers visited Theorald,
a small place about nine miles from the
Falls, and forcibly took young man
named William White, a ship-earpenteI

blindfolded, and after going four miles

White was the wrong man. White

SHERMANS VICTORY.

Senator sherman. Of Ohio, has st last
triumphed over all personal enemies in
his own party and has become his own
successor. The combinations against him
were formidable, and the war was bitter
from the beginning OF his senatorial cam :
paign to is close.
The result has astonishel many who be-
lieved that there was strength enough
among his opponents to force him into
retirement But the logged persistence
which has KEEP; Sherman prominently be-
fore the country, baf1lcd the efforts and
hopes Of his personal enemies. The demo-
Gratis, who could have secured his defeat
by uniting with the republican malcon-
tents upon some unobjectionable anti
Grant man, re-illus;rated ancient tradi-
tons, by throwing away their votes on
Gen. Morgan and the result is an admin
istra,ion triumph, snatched from the very
jaws OF defeat; and so it will ever be- while
policy SO ruinous and couhsels
so fatal, continue to prevail.

CANADA STANDS ALONE.

For the first time since Canada was con.
quered by British arms, she is left withou,
asoldier Of England upon her soil. The
old city Of Quebec, which in its day has
seen so many masters, fortified with a
strength which renders it equal in resist
ance to Gibraltar, has now no garrison Of
British soldiers and together with Hall
fax, the most important position on this
continent, for military purposes, has been
evacuated. These two places were the
last which were turned over to the
colonial authorities
Early last month, the first battalion Of
the sixtieth rifles marched out of the
fortresses surrounding Quebec on
their way homo; on the last Of November
the seventy-eighth regiment embarked
at Halifax for Plymouth.
With the withdrawal Of these troops
the direct control and management Of the
mother country over the Dominion of Can
ada ceased and the country was left to take
care Of herself She stands alone.
How long thi, condition Of things will
last and whether neces,it, or inclination
will induce a change in her political
relation; with the United States, time will
show. The current belief in Canada Is.
that union with this government /. not
only the course Of wisdom, but mus, event

c,nndrics can produce. Our fftccn-inch
Guns, orce deemed the best, arc now SO far
surpassed by the Whitworth ordnance,
that a comparison can scarcely be made
between them. Assuming other things TO
be equal, one Of our ships could not engage
an enemy armed with the Whtworth gun
and have n reasonable hope Of success,
A already suggested, thcs, are unpalo-
table truths, but the sooner they are known
aad appreciated the sooner will the peo-
pie. servants in congress be instigated to
fulflmen, Of their trust and legislate
for the enlargement Of the navy Of the
United States This will cost money, it is
true; aud spending the public treasure
except when it is applied to the payment,
ten years before due, Of the national debt
is not popular just now. 1t might, how
ever, be argued that national expenditure
when made to foster the ingenuity and
industry of our own people, is not extrav-
agancc, but is \ benefit to the producing
and laboring interests Of the country.
Forty millions year, devoted to improve
ment Of our national defences, will give q
greater impetus to prosperity at home than
would one hundred millions layished for
improvement Of the national credit. In the
estimation Of the world, there is something
which may be worth 'lore to Us than this
and that is national dignity and power
But aside from all these reasons there
is one yet more potent. We are told
from Washington that our difficulties
with Spain are beginning to be smoky
and warikc The president has msde a
demand on Spain for an apology for the
outrage on the Florida, and monitors
are being fitted out, to be ready in case
that nation refuse, to apologize. Are we
ready to meet Spain on the sea, if called to
this alternative? And 8. it not the duty
of congress to give our sailors the ships ana
guns needed to put them on something
like equal terms with the enemy, with all
his modern improvements But one re-
ply can be made to these propositions and
that is such an one as patriotism and com-
mon prudence would dictate.

NEW STYLE OF VACCINATION.


The November number Of Harper $
Magazine gives the details Of an improved
method of vaccination, which, in view of
the ravages Of smallpox in Philadelphia
and other cities, may perhaps deserve the
attention of our medical practitioners.
The new plan was first practiced by Mr..
Ellis an English physician. Ordinary
vaccination is performed by scraping off
the epidermis and thrusting tho vaccine
virus into puncture made by the lancet.
A greatly improved method, however con-
sists in raising blister by drop of can
tharides applied to the skin. This Is to be
pricked and the drop of fluid let out and
a fine vaccine point put in this place and
withdrawn after q moment of delay the
epidermis falls back and quite excludes
the air, shutting out any germs that might
be floating in the atmosphere. This method
has been practieed by Mr.. Ellis for twenty
wears and out Of hundreds of cases of vac
cination which he has performed, he has
never had an instance of blood-poisoning
or abscess, while by the ordinary method
an occurrence of secondary abscess is by
| no means uncommon, and that of pyaenia
| is often observed. The comparative safety
| of this method is believed to be due, trsIi
| to the exclusion of the air, and, second, to
! lessen the size of the aperture for the intro,
duction of mischief than when the pune
lures are made by the lance.
