= SENSATIONAL SToRIEs.-Opium, hasheesh
the faculty of imagination; the lovers of tea
and coffee claim for those articles great virtues
as cerebral stimulants; poets and lazy people
generally, look to wine or other alcoholic bev-
erages for inspirations; but this winters obser-
walton has led us to the conclusion that the
presence of smallpox in a city stimulates the
imagination of the inhabitants far beyond any
oriental drug or the products of any occidental
distilleries. Munehausen and Sir John Man
deville, those very princes of falsehood, must
have lived and written in variola-infested CITY,
The narrator of the Arabian Nights, she of the
GLIB tongue and exhaustless invention, must
nave spun her yarns in the very midst of the
red pestllence, and Dana, of the New York Sua,
must be in the habit Of daily frequentng the
smallpox wards of the great hospitals Let
but case of the dread disease occur in city,
ana wave OF credulity sweeps over and in
gulphs the reason of the people. The widest
stories are set af1oat, transmitted from mouth
to mouth, and readily believed The more i'm
probable the tale, jhe more ready are our peo-
pie to believe it, They are eager for fresh hor-
rors, One would think, after conversing with
some of our citizens, that we were all dancing
at veritable masque of the Red Death The
wife of the proprietor Of one of our principal
hotels has severe attack of facial NEURALGIA.
and is obliged to poultice her face. A little red
ness naturally follows Forthwith the story
goes forth that she has the smallpox. One of
our citizens has an attack of erysipelas in the
face. His next neighbor tells you that the man
should be carried to the pest house immediate
ly. A child has an attack of scarlet fever or OF
the measles Some people, who know so much
more than the physicians, will persist in telling
YOU that it is an undoubted case of varioloid.-
An attdche of one of our dry goods houses has a
bilious attack. The doctor is seen to enter the
house frequently, and passers-by wonder why
the red flag is not hung out. These are but a
few of the many reports which reach the ears
of the alert focal He traces them up. and
finds nothing. He says so; but still the people
are 10th to believe him..
The daily papers of this city have been per
fectly frank in their statements of the progress
of the disease. What they have said can be
implicitly relied upon. The same course will
be pursued in the future, and we advise our cit
liens to utterly discredit all the floating rumors
they hear, until they are authenticated. The
originators of these idle tales are blameworthy
in the highest, and those who repeat them are
scarcely less so.
