that Boston had been selected a. the
terminal point for the English mail
steamers excited an interest In New York
that eliminated 10 the establishment Of

York. The Collins Brothers. who were
then ut the head Of navigation In New
York. were selected as the agents Of the
new line. They had been successful In

SAN FRANCISCO, November 22.-The
smallpox. which in the early part Of the

ten cases Of continent smallpox have
been removed to the hospital. Five
cases were removed Friday. and up to
two O'Clock Saturday ak cases were re-
ported, Ave OF which were verified. The
increase Of the disease is attributable
mainly to the fact that the people had
gotten over the scare and vaccination
had in consequences wosiully decreased.

days there has been an ample supply oil
fresh virus on hand at the Health Once.

Good and Bad Breakfasts.

To eat Scotch breakfast, for ex.
ample, one requires to have passed some
time in mountainous air and active ex-
ercise. Given these conditions, the por-
ridge, the Finnan haddocks, the ONE
!ettcs, the ham, the trout, the cold grouse,
the marmalade, the hot scones," the
Strawberries and cream, the tea and
coffee, and the rest. are all that frugal
taste can desire. But Mr.. Hart thinks
that tea is not the right beverage at
breakfast. 1t is a stimulant to the
nerves, and the nerves should not be
stimulated 60 early in the day. To be
sure, a pipe afterwards should make
that all right, but people who do not
smoke, if they be truly wise, should
avoid tea at breakfast. The French
take wine, and a good deal of it, but
how Frenchmen can breakfast az thev
do and achieve any sort of work after
ward is a great mystery. They begin
the day with a roll and some coffee (alsO,
nerve-stimulant," we fear) and get
through much business before noon.
But how they can attempt business for
three hours after their exorbitant second
breakfasts no Englishman can hope to
learn. Breakfast should be digestible,
warm, abundant, unexciting, nourish-
ing" Eggs, bacon and toast, day after
day, for all ones life, are abundant, and
may be nourishing, but are only too GER
tainly unexciting."
Mr.. Hart suggests porrTdge as good
for breakfast, and so it is if the other
items of Scotch breakfast are to follow.
BY itself il is not very filling ut the
price. Here hominy has a slight ad-
vantage over the northern dish, but
hominy is less exciting. Like the buck
wheat cakes of distinguished artist, it
gets little mOnOtOnous." HOminy is
eaten with milk and sugar, but it is still
better with salt and pepper, or any
thing that will give it character. In
breakfast we are all too much the slaves
of routine.

Credit Versus Cash.

The Kentucky Military Institute
Ners advances the following opinion
upon this difficult problem: The credit
syxem, properly guarded, is both a sys-
tenn of progress and necessary to it. If
it were practicable to transact all the
business of country at six months
credit with clearing houses in every
county and State, thus dispensing almost
altogether with the use Of gold and sill
yer, intelligence as represented by edu-
cation and labor would become free
free to destiny of progress in which
capital would become the instrument of
intellect and labor, and no longer the
master. Let an absolute cash system
prevail and both intelligence and labor
become the slaves of capital. Let an
absolute cash system become the fact,
and with it mutual confidence and in
ter-dependence are swallowed up by
capital. Men who threaten public credit
by their unfaithfulness are public enc.
mics. Human liberty is conditioned on
the credit system. Indeed there is on
part of our social system more import
ant to stability and to progress than the
credit system, properly guarded.
