SMALLPOX RAGING ALL OVER En-
ROPE. "A letter from Messina, Italy,
dated December 9th, 1871, received in
Washington, says almost every city is in
fcctea with smallpox. In N1essina large
portion Of the lower classes is attacked, and
many of them die. The health officer
gives clean bills of health, but since the
7th inst, the American and British con.
suls, after consultation agreed to enter
their bills of health that cases of small
pox have occurred in the city, some of
which have terminated fatally" The
other consuls think it unnecessary, as, in
in their opinion, the disease was raging
over the whole continent of Europe.

by telegram to the land Office at Oregon
City has directed the withdrawal from

FOREIGN RELArIoNs.-It appears from
recent dispatches that Ministers Sickles
and Marsh, the representatives of our
Government at the courts of Madrid and
Rome, are charged in general terms by
those powers with offenscs of like character
to those committed by Catacaxy. The
Spanish Government has represented to
the State Department that the American
Minister has taken such part in the discus.
sion of the politics of the country as to
give great otfensc to the people, and init.
mate that his recall will be acknowledged
with favor. The charge against Minister
Marsh is based upon letter published in
the diplomatic correspondence, charging
the Italian Government with having
"blindly followed the dictation of the En-.
peror Of France, without attempting to
work out policy for itself, and that since
the downfall Of the Empire, the Ministry
has been completely broken, and quite
unable to arrive at conclusion upon any
subject until forced by the fear Of popular
violence to decide" He further charges
the Ministry with vacillation, tergiversa-
ton and duplicity." While no formal re-
quest has been made for Marsh's recall
the Italian authorities have intimated that
it cannot be expected their Government
can entertain very friendly feelings for a
Minister who has assailed it by such sweep.
ing accusations. The precedent of our
Government in the Catacazy affair, is an
admirable text for such foreign nations as
are disposed to be at all captious abou,
court etiquette.

more for wages, incidental expenses, and
for various improvements in and about the

Piled. The wide range that children's
questions take, would make such reading
very comprehensive. They have pbilo'
sophical bias; their perceptions are all
alert; they like to know why the apple
falls, Why the bit Of down floats, why the
toy grinder works his unendins task above
the register, and the more they arc told
the deeper they get. Many thc"logian
and shrewd thinker has owned himself
vanqukhcd by some eurly-he searcher
after information. The mother needs biog-
raphy, histOry-aucient, modern and nat
sral-chcmistry, mathematics, metaphys-
ics, theology, mythology and fiction, at her
command, and her answer is sure to bring
cut some chronological sitting that sends
her, literally at her wits end, to the die
tionarv. She finds to her sorrow that a
little knowledge" if not dangerous" is
at least inconvcnicnt. Six,year-old Don
has, out of his building. blocks constructed
a Great Eastern, open certainly to cri,i-
eism but entirely satisfactory to him. He
invokes mothers admiration, which is no
sooner given than he wants to know which
is thclargest, the Great Eastern or the pyr-
amids. The interested student Of Common
Things comes to the table and as she eats,
her egg sascly analyses the yolk, tells why
the spoon turns black and what makes the
egg shells hard, and then checking her lit

Gencralities will not satisfy these busy

and at tea or just as soon after as possible,
they open fresh budget, and you must be
ready to tell the young historian whether
the Macbeth she has been studying about
and Shakspeare's Macbeth are identical,
and to give your opinion as to the proba-
bilities Of Lady Macbcths actuality.
1t is lifelong wrong to children to re,
press their inquiries, or to cvadc or silence
them. 1t is better to confess ones ignor-
ancc, to study the encyclopedia, to hunt
here and there for items and to become
fellow students. We all know how endur.
ing the mental impressions Of childhood
are. 1t may be little trouble, a great
deal of trouble even, for the busy, weary
mother to satisfy these thirsty minds, but
it brings its prompt reward. When such
topics are carried on, there is no room for
gossip, no time for an unfrieudly or idle
espionage of the neighborhood, and there
will flow through her life freshness that
will lift her out of the narrowing details Of
housekeeping and send her thoughts into
a thousand widening avenues, while her
hands are occupied in the ever recurring
duties that seem triaes, but are really the
foundation stones that make home-uoME.
