Prejudice Against vaccination.

The colored peoble of the South appear
to have an absurd prejudice against vac
cination. They have notion that the OBJ
.ject of the doctors is TO inoculate them with
smallpox, and resist and defy them when
they attempt to vaccinate them. In
Charlestown s. G., one of the physicians
appointed by the board of health to perform
this duty had to employ the services of a
policeman, and succeeded with the aid OF
the officer in vaccinating several negroes.
Ludicrous scenes occur when physician
visits some Of the lanes where the negroes
live. The inmates Of the house bar their
door, and, retreat to the upper floor, defy
the efforts of the doctors 10 reach them.
No argument can convince them that the
object Of the Doctor is to save them from
contracting diseases.

To Keep Nails From Rusting.

A scientific journal says: When nails
are used in position in which they are
greatly subject to air and moisture, it will
always pay to prepare them in such man.
ner that they will not rust. This may be
accomplished without any difficulty by
heating quantity of nails on shovel, and
throwing them while quite hot, into a
vessel containing coarse oil or melted
grease. The nails should not be SO hot
that the grease will be made to smoke
freely. Cut nails prepared in this manner
are improved in every respect. They are
rendered tougher and they will outlast any
kind of wood, even though hurried in the
ground; while unprepared nails are COM
pletely destroyed by rust in a very short
time.

Importance of Frequent Change of Seed.

1t has long been observed by intelligent
farmers that seed or plants procured from
distant places, within the same collateral
parallese of latitude, ~ PEAR to grow with
more strength and vigor in their new sta
tions, than when kept and cultivated in
their native place. On this fact all the
rules for change Of seed, or of one species
of plants for another of the same genus,
are founded A change of seed is most
always practically safe and eminently ben
eficial. A change of seeds, sets, or plants
from one description of soil to another, or
from valley to mountain,o or rice 0ersa seems
to possess renovating influence on the
crops 1t is on this principle that the prac-
tice of rotation of crops is based. Plants
appear to become tired of an old station,
except aquatic plants, which are constantly
receiving new elements of nutrition from
fresh supplies of water
Land plants as trees for instance, occupy
the same spot for ages, but they at last
decay from sheer decrepitude. The lateral
extension of the roots-the lateral runners
or offsets with which many of them are
furnished, some above ground, as the straw
berry, others under ground, as the couch
grass, thistle, etc.,-shows that plants like
animals, require change of pasture as
well as a change of air.-Every one well
acquainted with the growth of plants know
that they require frequent change of soil,
II l,,t e., hot oh of
air is also beneficial. 1t is well known that
some plants thrive mnch better in one
locality than in another.-There are many
plants that never thrive or scarcely live in
the smoky atmosphere of London but when
removed to distance of twenty or thirty
miles from the city, grow luxuriantly.-

Defeating FIVE THOUSAND
WOMEN TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN.
One of the most impressive ceremO-
MES was that in which over five
thousand nIaidens and matrOns were
dedicated to the Blessed Virgin in
st. AiphOnsuss Catholic Church,
South Firth avenue. A few days
ago ii mission to women WAS begun
by the Redemptorist Fathers who
of1iciate in that church, and The ser
vices drew an immense multitude
of women, who had exclusive pos
session OF the sacred edifice.
On Ascension Eve the mission
reached its zenith The church was
literally packed from the sanctuary
to the porch with women. and humid
reds who had come late We're unable
to obtain admission. The high al
tar was brilliantly illuminated, and
in the sanctuary, near the Gospel
side, a golden statue OF the Blessed
Virgin stood upon IL broad pedestal
which was covered with choice flow
ers between pyramidal rows OF TIA
pers. AT 8 o'clock Father Weyrich,
Burke, and other priests Officiated
in the services, after which the vast
cOugreg CATION was sOiemnly dedicat-
ed 10 the Blessed Virgin as the Mo
Their of Purity. Prayers were then
offered in their behalf, the services
ending with the Bendiction.-.V. Y

Faum the Mobile Register ]
The Greeley Brown ticket is a
strong one E; at This writing it looks
stronger than any that could have
been chosen by that convention. 1t
bids fair to claim more adherents
from the very ranks of the Grant
ties than any other continuation !;
aud it promises to secure two great
! States that might by chance have
gone for the smoker III case of other
choice.
: From the P4jucah Kentuckiap.1
This is the very best nomination
that could have been made. Gree
ley is great and good man, and
every honest patriot opposed to
Grants reelection can vote for him.
He has never bounded the Southern
people, and when the chieftain of
the Confederate States was in chains
no man dared to step forward and
go his bail but Horace Greeley. OF
all the men north of the Ohio river,
Greeley is the man who deserves
the gratitude of the South.
From the Des Moines State Leaderl
We can not forget entirely the
strong words written by Mr.. Gree
ley against the honest Democracy
of the country, and yet we remem-
Der that he was first to adopt a con-
ciiiatOry power toward the South
after the war was over. There are
many noble things to be said of Mr..
Greeley, and if it is possible that
the country can harmonic on him,
he would make faithful President.
FRI m the Sedaiia Democratl
The Democracy have now the OPP
pOrtunity to redeem the country
from the blight and miidew of Rad
realism ard GIantIsm. There is a
chance now to r-buke corruption,
restore the rights of the people Of
the South, crystalize the little of
| liberty that remains to the citizen,
aud restore Onr government, in the
DRY and in fact, to its former purity.
From the Leavenworth CommerciaI.l
The beacon fires will be lit from
the Green mountains to the Blue
Ridge. from the Alleghenies to the

that is beyond the fathom line of
