vicksburs,s Quarantine Station.

WASHINGTON, August 3 The quarantine
station at Vicksburg, Miss. vas recently
abolished by order of the National Board
of Health. The reason given by the board
for this action is that it was found impossi-
BILE to man the station, several inspectors
having been sent there and all In turn
were taken sick with malaral fever.
Owing to the rigid inspection made
at New Orleans, an officer of the board says
it was not deemed absolutely necessary to
continue the Vicksburg station. Complaints
have been made by those interested, and in
compliance with the general desire for the
reoDening of the station, the board has Or
dered Inspector Dunlap, of Memphis, to
proceed to V1cksburg at once for that
purpose.

In late article on carpetbaggers in
the South, Fool" Tourgee declares that
80, 600 negroes had emigrated to Kansas
from the Southern States in the past
three years. The Republicans have been
telling this story over and over again
until they have finally got to believing it.
If it is so. General Francis Walker
ought to be impeached for falsifying the
census, for he declares that there are
only 5000 negroes in Kansas to day,
and that there were II, 900 ten years ago.
Even if the negro population of that
State had been at stand still for the
past decade, this would give only &c. 900
negro emigrants in ten years; so it is
hard to see how $4,000 could have immi-
grated in twenty-four moKths. The story,
says the New Orleans DemOerta,
is either falsehood, or "a, 900 of the I'M
fortunate darkies who went to Kansas

A London actor, writing to the Era on
the Combination system, which is be-
coming the curse of dramatic art in
America, says "Is it not time some
marked protest was made against the
damage done to dramatic art through
the present prevalence of travelling COM
panies, and the decadence, if not extinc-
ton, of stock business? Much vague
talk is prevalent about schools of dra-
matte art, and so forth, but where, at
the present time, can any young actor
be thoroughly grounded in the elements
of his profession? No one can deny
that three months stock business of
one or two pieces a week is of
greater value to young actor
and indirectly, therefore, to his
manager-than two years in touring
company with a limited repertorY of
three or four pieces. And of what ma
terial do these travelling companies con-
sist? For the most part, of three or
four artists of matured experience
gained in stock business) supported by
younger people, who have been care
fully drilled into copying with Chinese
fidelity an original, perhaps not over
brilliant in itself. and who, in three or
four years experience, has not played
a dozen parts. What are the conse-
quences? Versatility, an actors chief
est gift, is of no account, creation and
originality are tabooed, and polish
veneer, not genuine) and finish is at
tempted before the rough hewing is
complete. And out of this material our
future leading artists, our future stage
managers, are to come"

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says; "The fact that the
select committee of the House on the
interoceanic ship canal has, by ma
jority of one, agreed to report a bill to
guarantee $50, 900 of bonds for the
Eads company is of no earthly signif-
canoe, as the scheme cannot get fifty
votes in the House. In the meeting of

an exciting scene just before the vote
was taken. The peppery Mr.. Conger,
whose son is said to be the private secre-
tary of Mr. Eads, favored the scheme.
Mr.. Hutchins suggested that Mr.. Con-
gers action might be influenced by per-

all over, and called Mr.. Hutchins a liar,

by calling him a scoundrel. After this

A CORNER IN OPIUM 1t has just come
to light that syndicate exists in Phila-
delphia for the purpose of buying up all
the opium in the country and speculat-
ing in it. When it was formed opium
was selling at So so a pound, but the
spectators forced it up to 81, and it has
since declined to about Sc, at which it is
now selling. 1t is understood that the
stock in the hands of the syndicate
amounts to about sixteen hundred cases
of opium, of 200 pounds each, the whole
being valued at $1,500,00O. The stock
outside of this in the hands of legitimate
dealers is very small, and as the con-
sumption in the United States is from
thirty to fifty cases per week, it is thought
the price may be forced still higher, par
ticularly as the new crop will not arrive
for six months.

What a preposterouslY absurd resolu-
ton that was which was offered by old
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, in the Senate
yesterday, instructing the Judiciary Com
mittee to consider and report whether
the assembling at the seat of government
of large bodies of troops mot under
command of officers of the United States"
during the approaching inauguration of
Garfield, would not be precedent likely
to be fraught with danger to the repub-
lie in the future. What hideous phan-
tom does the excited Imagination Of Mr..
Hoar conjure up from the anticipated
presence in Washington of volunteer
military assembled to do honor to the
President of the United States? Perhaps
he is paralyzed with fear at the bare idea
that some Southern troops may be pres
ent who will awake the echoes of ''the
Avenoo" with the rebel yell, and
incontinently seize upon the White
House and the Capitol. But he
needn't be afraid. The Southern forces
are harmless now, and the experience
of Grants administration during the
turbulent days of the electoral count of
rs ought to convince the country that
there is far more danger to be
apprehended from massing troops
under "the command of United States
officers" in and about the national
capital, than can ever arise
from the presence of citizen soldiers
gathered there to show their respect
for the Chief Magistrate of the nation.
Mr.. Hoar's resolution betrays the sus-
picious mind which makes the thief to
fear leach bush an officer"

a FEMININE BARRooM Among the
sensations of the day is a barroom for
women. Its location is in the centre OF
civilization and Acknowledgement at the
hub of the universe. Boston leads the
way in fluid refreshments for feminine
lips 1t is advertised that the best of
liquors are kept and the patronage of the
sex is solicited under the assurance that
the utmost refinement aud grace will rule
in dispensing the delicious beverages.
1t is one of the signs of the progress of
the stalwart civilization that is growing
in the North under the influence and
auspices of the Republican party.
One of the leading Radical sheets of
the West charges it upon the leaders of
the woman's suffrage movement, and
says that eff the women can only estab-
lish barrooms enough they can carry
their measures through almost any mu-
nicipal Legislature. Whenever the lead
ers are agreed that it is worth while to
corrupt the sex for the sake of giving it
the ballot, they may be assured of the
easy success of their efforts, wherever,
it should be added, the Republican party
is in power.
