r,ne or,r,norya vaccination.

All honor to the name of the immortal
Jenner, who sleeps in his quiet grave on
the green cliffs OF Folkestone. What
glorious morning for England, home and
beauty" was that of the 18th of May,
1796, the birthday of vaccinationl On
that dav matter was taken from The hand
of Sarah Nelmes, who had been infected
while milking her master S COW, and this
matter was inserted by two superficial
missions into the arms Of James Phipps
a healthy boy of about eighteen years o.
age. He went through the disease in a.
regular and satisfactory manner; but the
most aaitating part Of the trial still re-
manned to be tried. 1t was needful to
ascertain whether he was free from con-
tagion of small pox. This point, so full
CT anxiety to DR.. ,Ienncr, was fairly put to
issue on the first of the following July.
Small pox pustule, was carefully inserted
by severel incisions, but no disease fol-
lowed. Now, by this simple and brave
experiment upon The lad James Phipps,
DIR Jenaer established law which the
experience of millions upon millions o
human beings, iii generations since, has
only served to strengthen. 1t is wonder
full, too, 70 think that there can DC
single individual ia these islands who
cannot see, at a glance, the simplicity,
beauty and truth OF this law. There is
no confagion in The world so certain and
sure as the coutagion Of small pox-
not even that of hydiophobia or rabies in
the dog. The very emanaiions or exhal-
atoms from the body of any one sick Of
the small pox, il breathed by a healty
person, are, in many instances, sufficient
TO induce tine disorder; and yet there is
this healthy yousg boy, James Phipps,
who receives the small pox matter into
his very blood, ana still he does not take
the disorder. -C0s.eUs Maqazine.

A RARE COLLECTION.
Catifornia,s Exhibit at the Paris Eehtbi-
ton.

ftOn.
Paris letter.
Much curiosity has been excited in the
American section for few days past by a
beautiful case containing three works of art
from California, representing value of over
$4,000. One of them is jewel case made
entirely of gold and the gold quartz rock
from California, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho,
and required the steady work of five skilful
artisans for six months. The casket is about
fifteen inches long, ten inches wide, and
twelve inches deep. 1t rests on four sup
ports of solid gold, each of which represents
the symbolic female figure that adorns the
coat of arms of California, with the bear at
her side. The figures are in full relief, and
elegantly formed. The sides and ends of the
casket are composed of solid slabs of gold
quartz, highly polished, cut in spheroids and
inlaid in gold with ornamental surroundings.
The four handsomely wrought pillars upon
the sides are of Roman Doric style. The
base is ornamented with graceful foliations
repeated upon the mouldings on the lid.
The top is of solid gold, inlaid with gold
quartz in the finest mosaic work, hundreds
of pieces being required for the construc-
ton. Within the cover is a very exquisite
piece of workmanship, representing buff
falo hunt on the plains. The trees are in
bas relief. In the foreground it railway
track across which two buffalos are dashing,
holly pursued by Indian hunters. All
of this is in alto-relievo, and
great expression is conveyed al
though the figures are extremely minute.
This costly btj0u attracts almost as much at
tention as do the diamonds of the
queen of England. The other works ex-
hibited are porte-monaie and card case
combined, made of solid gold and quartz
rock, beautifully designed in mosaic inter-
spersed with gold; and the other tell it not
in Askelon) is ladies' powder box and puff.
This latter box is made of quartz rock from
all the leading mines of California, Idaho,
and Oregon; its shape is round and it is
made to resemble Greek dome, the top or
cover being supported by eight column S of
solid gold quartz rock, polished, and each
capped with pure gold. The cover forming
the roof of the dome, is inlaid with quartz
of yariegated colors filled up with the pre-
clogs metal, and is bound on the edge with
rim of gold, the inside being lined with the
sane material. The body of the box is made
from one large mass of quartz rock, bored
out and highly polished on the exterior,
while the interior is lined with gold, and
rests on an ornamental base of quartz pol
ished to perfection. The whole is surmounted
with the emblem of California, the grizzly
bear, who is turning with his usual amiable
expression of countenance, to contemplate
the invading railway. These baskets and
others, exposed by Tiffany, make the Euro
peans open their eyes.

weeds q. rood Plants.

Among our c6u3mon weeds are TO be
found many that are occasionally used as
food. The tender s.alks of burdock some
people eat as asparagus. Cheekweed,
boiled in the spring, is considered as re-
markably good green's. Shepherds purse
has taste, when boiled, approaching
that Of cabbage. Lambs lettuce, Or pig
weed, is sometimes, boiled and eaten as
spina2e. The common nettle is esteemed
in Scotland, Poland and Germany, good
substitute for spinage. The willow-herb
lias tender shoots in the spring, which
may be eaten as asparagus. Pnrslane IS
eaten Dy many as greens, and is much
liked. The ox-eye daisy produces in
spring succulent- tender leaves, which
are used in Italy as salads.

NEWSOF THE WEEK.
FneIIsf Grain Market.

The Mark Lane Express says, the agri-
cultural reports, although somewhat variable
are generally speaking, favorable as TO the
appearance of the wheat fields. The growth
of straw is everywhere abundant. The plant
is now strong and the season SO far advanced
that the chances of damages from any future
untoward weather are greatly diminished.
Unless the summer proves exceptionally dis
astrous, e yield of rather over 100000
quarters may be looked for as the product of
The home crop. Barley has improved slightly
in some districts, but the crop is too much in
jured to yield anything but poor barley
Beans and peas are still fairly promising. In
other respects the agricultural situation is
unchanged. Small supplies and less demand
have been the Characteristic features oftrade
for English wheat at Mark Lane and ia the
country, but no further decline has taken
place. With moderate arrivals at ports of
call the floating cargo trade of wheat has
been fairly steady, with some inquiry for the
United Kingdom and continent, but prices
closed six pence per quarter lower. Maize
unchanged. Barley slightly declined.

Failures for the First HaFf of 1873.
According to the semi-annual circular of
r. G. Dunn 81 Co.'s Mercantile Agency, the
failures for the first six months of the pres
ent year show an enormous increase. The
public mind has in some measure become
prepared for this revelation by the frequency
with which these nIisfortunes have been
chronicled by the press, but it remains for
fne agency % put
of the period under review, and to draw from
the compilation such differences as appear to
be warranted by the facts presented. This
has been done in the usual exhaustive man
ner, and we condense the following from the
elaborate document before us. For the pur-
poses of comparison we group together the
following statement, which will illustrate at
a glance the significance of the figures for
the past six months.

frauds in Indian agencies on the Missouri
river. DR.. Livingston, of Cook Creek, is con-
demned by overwhelming testimony, as he
was taken unawares and has no opportunity
to remove the evidence of his guilt. His
stealing began in 1870, when first appointed,
through the influence of the Episcopal church,
as agent Of the combined Grow Creek and
Lower Brulc agencies, numbering three
thousand. He had accumulated fortune,
acquired an interest in three Nevada silver
mines, owns two cattle ranches and hotel
which was regularly supplied with food and
vegetables from the agency where he and his
partners-the agency employes-who were
