SMALLPOX and Vaccination.

The City Sanitary Inspector of New
York, in report on contagious diseases,
says with reference to the small. .pox
1t is the unanimous opinion and ex-
preston of the medical officers of this
Department that vaccination is not only
4 safe, but certain preventive of small
pox, when properly, carefully, and judi
ciously performed; and, as proof of
its protective value, it may be stated
that among over 100000 persons vacci-
mated by the Health Inspectors of this
hureau during the past year, there has
not yet been found one who has con-
tracted smallpox, or its modified form,
| who had been successfully vaccinated
previous to becoming infected, while
| numbers have fallen victims to this dis
| ease who refused to allow the Inspectors
| to vaccinate them at the time of ex-
| posure. We are fully convinced that
| this extraordinary success is due in a
large measure to the fact that vaccine
virus has while in a fresh and active
condition only, has been used no crust
or scab has ever been used by us. Our
practice has been only to use such virus
| as has been taken from well-selected
healthy child, the afternoon previous,
rejecting that which had become Y
hours old. A supply of bovine virus,
| direct from the animal, was used to a
limited extent during the past summer
which gave no better result than that
from children's arms, and as its propa.
CATION was attended with much diff.
Guilty, and sufficient supply could not
be obtained for our large demand, ex
cept at great expense, it was aban
doned. In the use of childhood lymph
with the results as proved by our stats
| tics of successful vaccination and re
vaccination, certainly no man should
cavi.. The absolute protection afforded
so large number of persons of whom
by far large majority had been exposed
either directly or indirectly to this fear
full disease, should gofar to convince the
most skeptical of its inestimable value
TO the carelessness and neglect of pa
rents and physicians, and the opposition
of the misinformed, uninformed, ano
injudicious, may be attributed, in 6
large measure, the success of an epi
demic form of this loathsome disease

Don't Kill the Boys.

BY MIGNONETTE.
Don't kill the boys the happy boysl-
That slide about your door.
Soon as the Winter SHOWS have come.
And Autumn days are DER.
The noisy boys-thc jolly boys
Oh let them joyous slide!-
And never seek to spoil their sport
Cause you re too big to ride.
Don't kill the boys-the happy boys!-
Nor bid their pastimes cease
Don't scowl at them so fiendishly,
And talk about police.
And when, adown Division street,
The bobs come flying fast,
Just step aside. with cheerful haste,
And let the boys go past
Don't kill the boys-the happy boys!
The winter soon Is o'er:
And childhood's sliding times will pass.
70 come, alas, no more
Think of your own glad boyhood's days
Know how it is yourself!
Don't wish the whole world packed away
Because you're on the shelf!
Don't kill the boys-the happy boys
But in the starry night,
Go slide with them. and wave on high
The paperlantern bright?
Go freeze your nose and frost your toes.
In many jolly ride;
And then with glowing heart you II feel
You'd better let 'em slide!

" No Gemmen."

A well-known citizen of Chelsea, re-
turning from Boston in the cars one day,
got out at the post office, and, address
ing an old colored man who sold Holsters
from wheelbarrow in the square, said:
"What do you think? | came over in
the car, Just now, from Boston. Before
we got into Cornhill every seat was
taken, and all new passengers had to
stand. When we got to Charlestown
an old colored woman got in, and, would
you believe it, pretty yeung girl who
sat next to me, actually gotup and gave
her a seat. What do ven think of
that ?'' "Think ~ said the darkey,
"why think dar warn't no gemmen in
dat car" The Chelsea man subsidized,
and found shelter in the post Office

The Foundation Knocked from Under
British AristOcracy.

A Mr.. James Philippe, of Bedford
Row, London, has made u startling an.
nouncement through the English pa
pels which must carry CONSERVATION
into hundreds of aristocratic families.
What Colenso has done to the Penta-
teuch, Mr.. Philippe has done to the
companion volume, the British Peer
age. He has discovered that "nearly
the whole of the pedigrees hitherto pub
lished are fictitious" and the geneo-
logical MSS. in the British Museum
"simple trash" !" while "as for the Her
AIDS College having any right to grant
coats of arms, it is so absurd that 1t is
wonderful that any person should be
such an addle-headed donkey as to en-
tertain any such humbug." This is
awful. If no man can be sure of his
own ancestors, and no peer swear to his
own crest and quarterings, it is obvious
that the foundation is knocked from
under the whole social and political
system of the British Empire. There
may be plebeans in the House of
Lords, and vulgar blood may mingle
with the blue ichor of royalty itself.
Of course, when this happens, it is all
up with old England. And as for the
ambitious people-Americans especially
who at great expense have obtained
from the Heralds' College, or whatever
the proper office may be, a gorgeous
pedigree " certified by John Brown or
some other distinguished individual,
with something tremendously ridicu,
lous under his sign-manual in tn
shape of Green Dragon, Two-headed
Elephant, etc." we do not envy their
feelings when they discover that their
roll of ancestors is pure invention, and
for aught they know about it they may
not have had great-grandfathe to
bless themselves with.

A KANSAS billiard table is thus de-

floor was an enormous large box, on
which was laid about wagon-load of
sandstone, covered with about eight
yards of blue jean. For pockets, they

they used dried apples on clothes

The society writer Of the New
York Mail has very properly CLASH
fed the status of cities as follows:
In Boston society everybody snubs
everybody else; in New York society
everybody gossips about everybody
else; in Philadelphia society every
body attends to the morals OF every
body else; in Baltimore society
everybody fraternizes with every
body else: and in Chicago society
Just at present everybody is borrow
ing from everybody else. Boston
therefore, is aristocratic; New York
and Philadelphia, Democratic; Balti-
more, p~atriarchal; and Chicago,
cOmmunistic.

A KEEN THRUsT.-The New York
Tribune, referring to the civil SER

says:
"From Washington we have the
reinsurance that President Grant
will, in his next annual message,
commit himself to civil service re-
form. But civil service reform does
not mean paper promises nor high
sounding platitudes; we have had
something too much Of these; and
when we see the President, OF Con-

form with one hand and pushing
Caseys, Murphys, and their like with
the other, we must be excused for
wishing more practice added to the
