ual case, cannot be foretold; the appear
ance of the sears ailording no criterion for
Il Judgment-in some persons it may con
tinue for life; in others, for only few
years. Therefore the proper and only
safe way is, to have every child vacclnated
III early infancy, and revaccnatcd there,
after every ten or fifteen years or ottener;
and people ought not to wait for an cpl.
demc to trighten them into attending to
the matter. We have no doubt that this
course would secure total immunity from
Small-Pox.
But to be thoroughly protective, yaccn-
alton must be done in proper manner
with virus of undoubted quality and peri
ty; no defective, halfway mode of vac
clnating gives any guaranty OF adequate
protection. Virus of the right quality be.
ing used, and the requisite care being taken
to bring a sufficient quantity OF it in a
suitable condition into contact with the
absorbents of the skin, there should occur
on or about the eighth or ninth day after
vaccination r marked constitutional dis
trrbance OF peculiar character known to
the experienced; and II this characteris
tic disturbance does not follow first vac
cination, there will be a reasonable doubt
OF its protective power against Small Pox,
and the subject should be reyaccinated with
increased care
Too many look upon vaccination as a
trivial, Insignificant affair; and, begrudg
ing the pittance charged for the operation
by competent and reliable men, allow
themselves and their families to be tam

tenders; and when the day of trial comes,
they End to their sorrow that their sup
posed vaccinations are Utterly worthless.
In this way the custom of vaccination is
brought into unmerited dsrepute.

General Logan Defines his Position.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The Times this
morning publishes a report Of an inter
view with Senator Logan, at his home in
this city, with regard to his views on the
present political situation. To question
of report as to whether he was not a
long time favorably disposed towards the
Liberal movement, the General gave an
emphatic reply in the negative, adding
that he could not imagine how such an
impression got abroad. That he never
said one word in favor of that movement,
and never for moment entertained q no.
ton Of joining it. In reply to a question
if he was not opposed to Grant, the Sena-
tor said that he had sometimes criticised
him just as he would any man with whom
he differed. He always intended to vote
for the Philadelphia nominee, and should
do so now, though perhaps some other
man would have suited him as well. He
thought General Grant would be reelected
by n larger majority than he received be-
fore, and that Illinois would give fifty
thousand majority for him, asserting in
this conviction that at least One-half of
the Democrats in Southern Illinois will
vote for him. General Logan also de-
clared his intention of taking as active
a part in the campaign az his health will
permit.

A German Editor on the Situation.

| Translated for the CHRoN1CLE.l
"Ihe FNture,n the official organ of the
North American Turner Band, which
strongly advocated the Liberal movement,
but got disappointed with the Cincinnati
nomination, comes out after the Philadel-
phia nomination for Grant and Wilson
about as follows:
Greeley is to-day connected with more
knavish class of politicians, and himself,
to a great measure, a worse politician than
could be said of Grant. With the only ex-
ception of the st. Domingo project, he has
for the last seven years most Zealously urg-
ed and favored every obnoxious measure
that was enacted. He is neither finance
nor civil service reformer, and concern
ing the stability of his character, there is
certainly, since the erection of the weather
bureau, more certainty in the winds than
in him. The result of this is, and the his
tory of the last few months show it, that he
has been able to draw any of the respecta-
BILE, but dissatisfied Republicans to him,
but has driven them back, humble and re-
pentent into the ranks of the Republican
party. His few Republican followers
North are only the soreheads and blather-
sixties /; his only dependence are the Demo-
Gratis, especially in the South therefore,
he stands to-day, towards the Republican
party, as the true Representative of the
old copperheads and rebels who are wir-
ing anew to gain possession of the govern
ment. No wonder, then, that the picture
of Grant was so enthusiastically received
at Philadelphia. What then shall the
honest man do ? If nothing is offered, and
the Democratic ConveRti0n should COM
NIT the blunder to gather around Gree
ley's white hat, then we have but one
thing to doLtO choose the smallest evil of
the two and cote for Grant. We don't eX-
pect great improvements i'll his admins
tratiOn. We know with some certainty
what he will do, and know the worse he
can do, but the probability is that after his
election he will show himself in many
points to the better; but the principal point
about it is that no great changes with the
office-hOlders will be made, and mainly,
no financial disturbance and troubles need
be expected, but what Greeley would do
with his motley crew that he would carry
to Washington no man can tell.

From the sth District.

The extra fine crop of wheat this season is
giving n new impetus to our farming interests.
VIM. Lewis, James Ogg and others talk of
threshing their crops in their barn yards. They
are arranging manure pits and bedding down
straw which they intend to throw into the pits,
along with muck. &C., and thus manufacture
into a good article of manure the straw that has
heretofore gone to waste. Mr.. j. thinks that
by liberal ploughing, rolling, narrowing, and
manuring he can make near 20 bushels to the
acre on his land, and thus keep in sight of Mr.
Wheeling, Mr.. Stolfens and other scientific farm
er3 from New England who have settled among
Us, and who by the very expert manner in which
they bring corn, wheat, and oats out of our
once good for nothing old fields, threaten to
eclipse our native farmers.
Some of our farmers talk of hiring Germans
and others who are experienced to conduct the
improvement of their land. This is badly need
ed, because zone good manager is worth two "a
whole family big eaters.

The Unknown People.

1t makes one homesick in this world to
think that there are so many rare people
he can never know; and SO many excel
lent people that scarcely any one will
know in fact. One discovers a friend by
chance, and can not but feel regret that
twenty, or thirty years of life maybe,
have been spent without the least knOwl-
edge of him. When he is once known,
through him opening is made into an
other little world, into circle of cultme
and loving hearts and enthusiasm in a
dozen congenial pursuits, and prejudice
perhaps. How instantly and easily the
bachelor doubles his world when he mar
TieS, and enters into the unknown fell
lowship of the to him constantly increas-
ing company which is known in popular
language as all his wife's relations"
Near at hand daily, no doubt, are those
worth knowing intimately, if one had
the time and the opportunity. And when
one travels he sees what a vast material
there is for society and friendship, of
which he can never avail himself Car
load after car load of summer travel goes
by one at any railway station, out of
which he is sure he could choose a score
of lifelong friends, if the conductor would
introduce him. There are faces of refine
ment, of quick wit, of sympathetic kind
ness, interesting people, travelled people,
entertaining people, as you would say in
Boston, nice people you would admire
to KNOW whom you constantly meet
and pass without sign of recognition,
many of whom are no doubt your long
lost brothers and sisters. You can see
that they also have 'leir worlds and their
interests, and they probably know a great
many mice people. The matter of
personal liking and attachment is good
deal due to the mere fortune of associa-
ton. More fast friendships and pleasant
mountaineering are formed on the At
lantic steamships, between those who
would have been only Indifferent ac-
quaintances elsewhere, than one would
think possible on voyage which natu-
rally makes one as selfish as he is indif-
ferent to his personal appearance. The
Atlantic is the only power on earth l
know that can make woman indiffer-
ent to her personal appearance.-FrOn1

Where can be found recorded nobler
case of self-sacrifice than this? A colored
fisherman named Young was crossing the
Mississippi, at Helena, one stormy night
recently with his young child with him
in the boat. When in the middle of the
river the water began to dash over the
sides of the low punt, and it was evident
that the craft would sink in moment I'M
less relieved of some of its load Putting
his child securely in the middle of the

was washed away and drowned A party
from the bank went to the rescue and re-
covered the boat and child, but the man
was never seen afterward.

Those Whom Battle Stays at Home.
BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.

BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE,
As they sat together on the hill top,
they could look down into Robert Hag-
burns enclosure, and they saw him, with
his arm now relieved from the sling, walk
ing about, in a very erect manner, with a
middle aged man by his side, to whom he
seemed to be talking and explaining some
matter. Even at this distance Septlmus
could see that the rustic stoOp and I'M
cOuthness had somehow fallen away from
Robert, and that he seemed developed.
What has come to Robert Hagburn ,"
said he. "He looks like another man
than the lOut knew few weeks ago"
" Nothing" said Rose Garfield, Except
what comes to great many young men
nowadays. He has enlisted and is going
to war; 1t is a pity for his mother"
"a great pity,n said Septimus. "MOth-
ers are greatly to be pitied all over the
country Just now, and there are some to
be pitied even more than the mothers,
though many of them do not know or sus-
pect anything about their cause of grief at
present"
"Of whom do you speak ," asked Rose
Z" mean those many good and sweet
young girls" said Sep5imus, "whO would
have been happy wives to the thousands
of young men who now, like Robert Hag-
burn, are going to war. Those young men
many of them, at least-will sicken and
die in camp, or be shot down, or struck
through with bayonets on battle fields and
turn to dust and bones; while the girls
that would have loved them and made
happy firesides for them, will pine and
wither, and tread along many sour and
disconnected years, and at last go out of
life without knowing what life is. So you
see, Rose, every shot that takes effect kills
two at least, or kills one and worse than
kills the other.-FroB the atlantic Month";
