Yours truly
B. KNUDSEN.
The epidemic, which now can be said
to be at an end, has but been of a small
nature, hardly worth calling an epidemic,
yet if the authorities had not taken severe
steps, it is difficult to say what the result
would have been.
It alarmed however the public and
also caused a most inconvenient quarantine.
Here it is not my wish to describe
the calamities, the small pox created in
former days, which are well known, but
even up to the present time. severe cpl
denies arise, especially where vaccination
is not generally used. Experience shows
Us, that this even can loose its protecting
power, and as this disease is one of the
most horrid and infectious of all, it is
the general opinion, that everything posi-
Bile should be done to prevent it
spreading.
1t may seem easy to exclude an cpl
demic from an island like st. Croix, it
being so isolated, still for all it finds its
way from the seaside; to prevent this,
any remedy, let it even be annoying,
should certainly be used.
In st, Thomas it is far from an easy
task it is of very great importance for
such q mercantile town to prevent
epidemics, and now it has a most
energetic and active quarantine inspection,
also an excellent and well situated l~azaret
&c.
1t has however not always been so
there, remember the frightful epidemics
of small NV In S1 < ne rr ole. ob1In.o
in 1853 and Sc.
Il will neither be requisite nor useful
to erect constant l~azlrets in st. Croix,
but the attention of the quarantine in
s%pection should therefore be ever SO much
sharper.
Every vessel ought and should be
strictly examined, the quarantine doctor
should go on board personally, but does
this always take place? Is it not often
the case, that be is not at home and the
inspection performed by a customhouse
oficer7 This is undoubtedly wrong.
The quarantine doctor or any other au-
thorized physician should go on board to
inspect, after which communication with
the land could be allowed. This small
inconvenience We must submit to.
It is not the custom, that vessels from
st. Thomas are subject to a regular quar-
antine inspection in St. Croix, and l am
i. furthermore told, that the reason is, that
such vessels have already been inspected
in st. Thomas. This is complete mis-
understanding.
In 1647, when the regulations for the
doctors in both Islands were altered, it
was decided. that those vessels, which
touched st. Thomas, were not bound to
be inspected by the quarantine doctor,
unless where such cases as sickness, death
on the voyage or coming from a suspi-
cious port, deemed it necessary, but as far
as ST. Croix was concerned it should take
place with every vessel, the kings physi-
clan still to be subject to any eventual
alteration in this ordinance.
Is there not far more reasons to inspect
such vessels, which have not been inspect
ed in st. Thomas and been lying there
several months together with hundreds of
other freight seekers and come to st, Croix
than for US to inspect such, which have
been out at sea for 3 to 4 weeksf

Throwing the Old shoe.

Very few, probably of the thousands who
throw their old shoes after bridal parties as
they are leaving homo know anything of
the origin of the custom. Like almost all
of our common customs, its origin is an
cient, and can he traced to Bible times. 1t
was then the custom for the brother OF a
ehildless man TO marry his widow, or at
least be had the refusal Of fher. II he chose
to reject her, the ceremony was public, and
consisted in her loosing his shoe from his
foot and splitting in his face.
His giving up the shoe was a symbol of
his abandoning all dominion over her, and
her splitting in his face was an assertion Of
independence. There was an affair of this
kind between Ruth and Boaz. In some
parts Of the East 1t was the custom to carry
slipper before newly married couple as
token OF their subjecton.
The custom as il exists with us is very
old in England and Scotland. The usual
saying is that IL is thrown for luck, and
that is the idea in this country, but orig
inally it meant a renunciation of authority
over the bride by the parents. 1t was
formerly a custom among the Germans for
the bride when she was conducted 10 her
bed-chamber, TO lake off her shoe and
throw 1t among the guests. Who ever got

says: "On the bridegroom leaving his
house, 1t was customary TO throw an old
shoe afler him, and in like manner an old
shoe after the bride on leaving her home to
proceed 10 church, in order to insure good
luck to each respectively, and If by strate-
gem either of The brides shoes could be

church, it bad 10 he ransomed by the BRIDE

In Kent, England, afler the couple have
started on their tour, the single ladies are
drawn up in one row and the bachelors in
another. An old shoe is then thrown as
Tar as possible, and the ladies run for it,
the successful one being supposed TO be the
first female who will get married. She
then throws the shoe at the gentlemen, and
the one who is hit by it is deemed to be the
first male who will enter into wedlock.
Generally il is considered The older the

AN INCIDENT OF THE TEXAS SToRA.-A
gentleman living up the bay says that ne

were forced TO take to tree 10 save them
selves during the late storm. The tree
swayed to and fro with the violence OF the
wind, and threatened 10 fall with its heavy
burden. The old couple concluded that
some one must be sacrificed to save the

said shs was not prepared TO die, and urged
the old man to drop himself into eternity.
But he too, was not ready. and the matter
