Lessons of the London SMALLPOX Ept.
demic.

Lessons of the London SIMS lIpox Epi-
demic.
The only uses of such an epid emic of
smallpox as that which has ragged for the
last twelve months arctic accumulate fresh
evidence of the deadiness of the
disease when left purely to nature
in other words when not modified by
vaccination. 1t is indeed pretty clear
that no accumulation of evidence will have
any effect on those who are not convinced
already by the evidence of Marson and 9TH
ers. What is wanting in these is not evi.
dence, but intellectual ca pacity. We say
this in full remembrance of the fact that
there are one or two gifted men among the
enemies of vaccination. Still they have, to
put it mildly, defect or popularity of the
brain which is not infuen ced by evidence.
Nevertheless We must solemnly record the
evidence as it reaches us from those who in
the faithful and painstaking discharge of
the loathsome duties of smallpox hospital,
work it out. TIL ough it will not effect the
fanatical, it will satisfy those who have
complied with the vaccination laws that
they have reason on their side; not only so,
but that their great security will be in being
thoroughly vaccnated not in mere formal
| compliance with the vaccination acts, but
in having arms we'll marked with vaccin-
| alton scars. The first installment of infor.
nation supplied by this epidemic reaches
US from the Homerton Fever Hospital in
the form of a report from DR.. Collie, the
medical superintendent. He gives the re-
suit of 9l5 cases from Dec. 9th to May 18TH
From this it appears that the unvaccinated
died at the rate of So per cent, the badly
vacclnated at the rate of &c per cent, the
fairly well vaccinated at the rate of little
| over per cent, and that no death occurred
in any person under si1teen years of age who
showed two good scars of vaccination, and
after sixteen years only t0o such persons
died. DR.. Collie's report is instructive, too,
on another point much overlooked-name-
~, the troublesome, and sometimes fatal,
complications and results of smallpox. We
hear much from the antivaccinationists of
few pimples that follow vaccination. But
what of the things that follow smallpox :?
Ut the 9l5 cases Isl had boils; l8 had ma
MIA, of which IL proved FATAL in cases the
eye Twas attacked with perforating ulcer,
which often leads to blindness; in "a cases
there was Inflammation of the windppe, Of
which 8 died. -London Lancet. Sept. lst

A EJurdercus Stabbing Affair,

A terrible stabbing affair occurred in the
5th ward, Tuesday night at about nine
o'clock. A man named Jasper Cardint
went to the house of John Kahl, carpen-
ter, and quarrel ensued between both N en-,
who were undoubtedly under the influence
of liquor, resulting in Kahl drawing a
knife on Cardint, stabblng him in the alb
domen, and inflicting such a murderous
wound as to allow his intestines to fall out.
DR.. Cody was called to the assistance of the
wounded man, and his condition was made
as comfortable as possible Kahl was at
once arrested and locked up until Wednes
day morning, when he was taken to the
Dodge county Jail at Juneau, there to await
his trial. 1t is hard to get at the true facts
as to the origin of this butchering affair
reports differ SO widely. One story is that
Cardint visited KaErs house to pay wash
ing bill, bringing with him bottle of
whisky which was passed around and par
taken of freely by both men, but Mrs. Kahl
refused to drink. This so exasperated Car
dint that he spilled out what whisky was
left in the bottle, and then words ensued be-
tween the two men resulting in the stabbing
as related above. Another st Org is that Kahl
found Cardint making improper proposals to
his wife and in fit of jealousy committed
the deed.
Kahl has been a resident of the 9Th
ward for the past IS years. OF late
years he has been dissolute in his habits
and has had frequent auarrels with
his wife. Cardint has been here only few
weeks and formerly resided in Milwaukee.
Cardint's condition at the present writing
"wednesday morning) is very low and the
chances of his recovery are extremely
doubtful.

The Bond Meeting.

Elsewhere we'publish the proceedings o.
the bond meeting which was held at Turner
Hall las t Thursday evening, to consider the
5 per cent. plan of compromising our bond
in our last issue AS will be seen by the
proceedings the plan was adopted by the
meeting with little or no opposition
Unanimity and desire to compt omise the
debt in some shape characterized the meet
ing throughout. Lacquer aud anti
Lacquer made speeches side by side, each
expressing the wish that the strife and coz
tension which have prevailed between
neighbo1s on account of this question so
long be laid aside, and that all unite, re-
CARELESS of past differences, and work
hand in hand with the purpose of relieving
of our city of the incubus which has i'm
peded her growth and prosperity SO many
years. Whether the FIVE per cent. plan
proves to be a....feasible one or not we are
unprepared to say. But admitting that 1t
turns out to be an absolute failure in itself,
the move LAS Lot been barren of beneficial
results. 1t has demonstrated the fact that
there is more unanimity among our citizens
on the subject of compromise to-day than
there has ever existed here. 1t seems TO
show that tax. papers, both large and small,
their quarres and henceforth stand togeth
er on the sound and safe platform OF COM
promise. If thercsare no reactionary infu-
ences set in motion, and the people of Wa
tertown will but stand by the action Of the
meeting of Thursday night, it will not be
many years before this city Will have heard
of her last railroad bond. The five per
cent plan, as it now stands, may not prove
to be just the. thing, but it can and vii be
altered as the exigency Of the case Sc, m to
demand, always keeping in view of course
the idea of paying no more than we can
afford to. In the meantime. however, let
the FIVE per cent plan be carried out to lis
legitimate conclusion. Give Ii most
thorough trial before any innovations are
attempted Let the Common Council make
the plan its own, notify The bondholderS Of
its action, and set the machinery in motion
for registering the bonds. We will then
be known abroad, not as pack of fools
and repud ialors, bet as community which
is ready and willing 10 90 all that lies in
its power to extricale Itself rcm its embar-

Money Plenty and Low Interest.

Money is reported unusually easy and plenty in San Francisco. Rate. of interest are lower than ever before The Hibernia Bank offers money al $ per cent. per annum in sums of ten thousand dollars and upwards, on sat isfactory security. Hard times are not now Occasioned anywhere, either on the Atlantic or Pacific coast, because of q scarcity of money. The Treasury Department announces that millions upon millions are on deposit in it for safe keeping and drawing no interest. The local demand for the per cent bonds was unexpectedly large, show ing much idle money among the peO- pie. The trouble Is the needy people who want to borrow, have not, as a rule, security to give for It. Idle mon ey is now plentiful. Some of the San Francisco Savings Banks have nearly a million of idle money which belongs to the poorer or laboring people
 Rates of interest in Arizona, on well secured loans, run from one and a-Lalf to two per cent. per month. Even here, where money is not brought to lend, it can be borrowed at these rates on good security. In times past high CT have prevailed, and in a small way now do.
 Following dispatch is of interest Tn this connection:
 NEW YORK, August 4.-The Trib- une's Washington special says: Secre- tary sherman and Assistant Secretary Mccormick recently called attention to the fact that nearly $66,0O0,O00 in legal tender notes, against which cer- titicates of deposit have been issued, lie idle in the vaults of the Treasury They have interpreted this as indicating that the volume of currency Tn the country is, to say the least, not contracted, as, indeed, this large surplus shows.

He brought in about 100 pounds, one piece weigh ing over fifty and bears evidence of coming from large vein. Samples of this class of ore were recently as saved in San Francisco. and gave over S2O0 per ton. NIT. Magee IS about as well pleased with the prospects as any man would care to be under like cir cumstances.

He says the Alaska, Warsaw and other veins himself and partners are developing, show so favor ably, that next week they intend to be- gin building a furnace of daily ca- pacity of five tons. As Mr. Kirkpatrick said some week ago when in here. it is the intention to build up gradually and make no failure. They have the ore with silver in paying quantities, and they do not intend to put up very extensive or expensive machinery un- til they demonstrate just the kind need ed to work the ores most proftably.
