To-day your correspondent met 0

than a year ago explained the mystery
[about the part Mrs. Isabella Hooker
played in the preliminariss OF the Brook
lyn scandal. II will explain the mean
ing Of one part Of Mr.. Moulton's reply
to Mr.. Beecher, and violates no conf
denee in telling it. II seems that Mrs.
Hooker. the half-sister OF Henry Ward
Beecher. was at IA time a devoted be-
lisyer in Victoria c. Woodruff; she
usually addressed her as Ny Queen"
When Woodruff published the forsrun-
ner Of Tilton's statement, which he has
recently characterized as wicked, hor-
rid scandal" Mrs. Hooker, il seems,
believed il, and wrote to Henry Ward
Beecher that 1t was his duty to confess
his sins before his congregation, and
throw himself on their mercy and
that II ho had not the courage to do 80

A Jewel Down in Georgia.

The following graphic description of
the real jewels Of the fair South is Civ
en by paper printed in the State of
Georgia:
Among the many visitors who came
to our city on Saturday last to sell their
country produce, was q young lady
from an adjoining county who had
chickens, eggs and butter for sale. Her
beauty was of transccndent excellence.
Bright, flashing, intellectual eyes, and
face round and rosy, while her calico
dress was plain and neatly made. and
fitted beautifully. Her rich black hair
flowed in luxuriant richness. Highly
educated, she converscd fluently, and
deported herself with becoming mod.
esty. She wore no false hustle or pur-
chased complexion; had no top-knot
on her head, or false fixings to present,
but stood in the majestic beauty OF n
created intelligence that would not
Weld to the despotc dictates of frivol-
Gus fashion. 1t has been long time
since we gazed upon such sight. The
young men crowded around her wagon
with curiosity in their eyes and admira-
ton in their hearts. The old men wept
for Joy that there was one who had not
bowed to Daal. She sold her country
produce, went home, MIXED the cows
cooked supper for ten farm laborers
and went to church that night with her

Vaccination,

The following propositions arc offer
cd as matters Of belief, and some OF
them as matters Of record:
|. Without vaccination one death in
ten would be the result of smallpox.
2. Without vaccination nineteen out
OF twenty would have the smallpox.
3. Without vaccination, 81 per cent.
of the cases Of smallpox would be fatal.
4. With vaccination, not tw o per cent.
of the inhabitants will take smallpox.
5. With vaccination, the per centage
of deaths from smallpox is only about
eight of the two per cent. who will
take il.
6. A larger per ccntage Of those who
have had smallpox will have the Sec
ondary disease than Of those who have
been vaccinated. That Is TO say, vac
cinaton is better prevention of vario-
loid than smallpox is.
7. Humanized virus is moro likely
to take than the original virus from the
COW.
s. Humanizcd virus, whether it takes
or not, docs no. produce such severe
constitutional symptoms as primary
COW virus does.
8. 1t is not proved that either hp.
manized virus or primary COW virus is
the better in its prospective effects.
10. There are certain individuals who
do not seem susceptible of vaccination.
IL. The taking Of smallpox after vac
cination is no proof that second vac
cinat:on would have succeeded.
u. A successful ro-vaccination is no
proof that the individual re-vaccinated
would have taken smallpox.

town TO visit his father, and it was

cd with cold that he sat down upon q

Tonnes for Women.

Nothing makes woman age moro
rapidly than overwork--the reason,
probably that American women fade SO
soon. Sunshine, music, work and sleep
are the greatest medicines for women,
who need more sleep than men. Their
nerves are more sensitive and are not so
strong, exhaustion from labor or pleas
uro takes place sooner with them than
with men. Never permit yourself TO
DO aroused out of deep sleep in the
morning. in fact one should never be
awakened. The body arouses Of itself
when its demands arc satisfied. Take
warm bath occasionally before going to
bod--at least once week. Retire as
soon as you feel sleepy in the evening.
Don't rouse yourself and 60 to work.
You need rest then, and will pay for
the irespass ON your physical nature the
next day if you dlsoboy.
