SMALLPOX IN BROADWAY. - New
York, March 2l.-An excited citizen
rushed into Superintendent Walling's office
at police headquarters to-day and breath.
lcssly exclaimed that naked man who had
the smallpox was rushing about the streets
on the West Side, creating veritablo panic.
Then came dispatch announcing the CAP

would probably die at the Riverside hospi.
tai, where he was taken. Mahands run
through the streets occasioned tho utmost
excitement. 1t happened about 8 o'clock.
The patient who is young, strong>limbed
negro, was In bed at his home, at No. 113
West Twenty.seven h street, and being
asleep had been left alone by his friends
who were nursing him. In their absence
he awoke delirious, tore his shirt from his
body and made his way into the street.
just as he sprang out upon the sidewalk he
was seen by woman in the house, who at
once set up the shout: "Small. pox look
out for him." A score of persons who had
run mp to look at the strange sight gave
way hastily and the negro, with veil
started towards Sixth avenue. Heran with
the speed Of deer, and narrowly missing
in his headlong course collision with cab
and street car he turned into the avenue
and sped Eastward through Twenty seventh
street, followed by an increasing crowd of
excited men and women, who took up the
yell "Small-pox y "Small, pox p and goaded
the insane man on to further exertions.
Switching into Broadway the negro set his
face up town and ran towards Twenty y. eighth
street, the throng everywhere making room
for him and as rapidly closing in behind,
swelling the number Of his pursuers. Along
his course windows were opened, carts stop.

body Joined in the yell that preceded the
fugitive and opened the way for him. 1t
was heard by two policemen on Broadway,
who, seeing him coming, hastily secured a
sheet from store, and, as he approached,
rushed upon the naked man and throwing
it over him secured him firmly. Despite
his struggles he was then carried to the
Thirtieth street station house and kept there
till the health officer arrived. The crowd
was with difficulty dispersed, and for the
rest of the day strong boom in vaccination
put the doctors in the neighborhood in
good humor. The demand for virus at the
Office of the Health, Board was uuusually
strong IN consequence all day.

WONDERFUL TENAcITY OF LIFE
Every cat is said to have nine lives. and
there are some men whose tenacity of exis-
tence is equally surprising. The Vernon
ter who bad the whole upper part OF bis
brain carried of by an explosion, and lived
tor years after, is an example of this class
John Wilson of Leadville, Colorado, must
now be added to the list Of tough opes.-
He was buried by snowslide so deepry
that it took several men four hours to reach
him and when he was uncovered he had been
forty nine hours without food or light, and
with very little air. He was discovered in ar
upright position, his pick above his head, and
held by his right hand At first he was be-
lleved to be dead, for the palptations of his
heart were scarcely perceptible. His face
was terribly diseolored, and his chin fell
forward on his breast. His extremites were
as cold as ice, and perfectly void Of any
sense whatever. The abode of .he remain
ing spark of life was the breast and even his
head was benumbed and senseless. The
arms were rigid and stiAeped, as were the
legs and there was little h,pe of resuscitating
him. He was, however, taken to neigh
boring cabin, his teeth were pried open, and
whisky was poured down his throat. Soon
after tho doctor arrived, and finally he re-
covered his senses. He said he thought
when the snow struck him that he had been
bit BY some instrement. His consciousness
lasted for about eight hours, and during the
forty which followed he knew nothing.

The following nautical Instructions were

regard to an affair Of honor between HIM
self and the Hon. Wm. G. Preston about
fifty years ago.
After avcrring that "duelling was couu-
tenanced by the Church." it states that
during the early days of Modification, Col.
Preston of that State made some charge in
public speech against Col. Robert Cunipg-
ham of Laurcns. The latter named gentle
man taking umbrage thereat, sent Col. Pres
ton challenge to fight duel, which of

inSham being member Of the Presbyte-
rian Church applied to its Session for pur-
mission to meet Col Preston in the man.
ner indicated, ,whick was readily granted"
1 am induced to call attention to the vari-
Gus errors here, on account of the grave and
untrue statcsment as to the Presbyterian
Church.
To an allusion made by Mr.. Preston in a
heated political speech to the Cunning hams Of
South Carolina, my father through Co.
lumbia paper made defensive reply and
a caustic retort. Preston challenged him,
through Hon. Waddy Thomson, and INV
father accepted the cartel through Gen.
William Cumming of Augusta, Ga. Tho
cause was political as we'll as personal. Tho
matter was adjusted by a board of honor, ON
the basis of a simultaneous withdrawal OF
offensive matter.
My father did not apply to the Church for
permission to meet Col. Preston nor did the
Presbyterian Church express approval Of
duellins. JOHN CuNINaHAM.
