AT NO. lS0 Monroe street there have been
three cases OF smallpox. The Board OF
Health has ordered an inspection OF the
premises.
POPULAR ERRORS POINTED OUT.
According to DIR. j. Il. Taylor, chief of
the yaccinating corps, smallpox does not
argue either uncleanness or physical weak
ness. II Is contagious maiady against
which no purificatioD with baths nor build
ing up with nutritious food can arm man.
The contagion strikes whatever is exposed
TO II, no matter what safeguards may have
been employed, but it strikes Intellectually
after vaccination. Indeed, sickness which
might be supposed TO lay man open TO an
attack OF smallpox Is an almost iroD-cad
armor, for where there Is already one maa.
dy the patient Is slow TO take another.
Hence 1t is that 10 the extensive expert
eDce Of the vaccinating corps so many ro-
bust men, cleanly In person and even care
ful in all matters OF hygiene, have been
banishcd to Riverside Hospital. The maa-
dy is as old as history, aud whence its origin
rs unknown 10 medical science. Unlike chol.
era and yellow fever and dipbtheria and ty-
phus.feyer, IL is not bred OF filth and bad air |;
but, like these frightful maladies, 1t is carried
for months and even years In rags, in ships
bottoms, and in houses that are not thor
ougbiy ventilated. 1t IL TO these agencies
that what there is Of the contagion
In this city is chargeable. Sporadic
smallpox such as the yaccinating corps
are discovering daily, has been brought
10 the city mainly by a class OF Ital-
ians who have arrived from an infected
port, aud who studiously hide II from
the Health Boards officers until all the oc-
cupants OF a tenement have become infect
ed. They caught the contagion in their na-
tive land. and the voyage was so short that
it had not time to manifest itself until after
they bad reached this city and found lodg-
ings among their fellow.countrymen. Then
they were prosirated, und their secretive
landlords have kept their lips sealed. Mean
while the occupants Of the infected tene-
ments have distributed themselves among
downtown businessmen, and as a result
some Of the latter have become inmates Of
Riverside Hospital; for the contagon is
long before it can be detected
by the naked eye.

He thanked the conven- tion, and promised fairness in presiding He was Grant man and hoped tho convention would go as a unit for him. The convention then took recess of hour, when H. H. Lewis presented the resolutions, which ex- press faith in Grant, instruct the delegation as unit for hlm, ask Blaine to take the second place on the ticket. and provides that Prssi- dential electors be nominated at the convsn- tion in Richmond in July. The resolution were referred to committee which reported favorably upon them. Two minority reports were submitted, one that the electoral ticket be nominated, and the other that districts ap- point their electors. A strong debate ensued on motion to recommend the reports to the committee. The confusion was increased bv cry of fire started in the galleries This soon emptied the hall of all but few dele gates and the chairman, who restored order J. Waltz then resumed his speech and stated that although voting so far with the straight outs" he with twelve others would vote against them on the main issue.

He says that with rare exceptions the citizens and officials in Farnam, Union and Towns counties are in sympathy with the house. breakers Deputy Collector Shepard reports 8 large number of seizures by his raiding par ty in the Second Georgia district. He says that on the 18th he returned to Rabun coun- tyaand found the barns and stables of a MT.
