The inexperience OF q student at Stuttgart
has been tho cause OF tragedy most pain
full and unnecessary. The young man fell
In love with q very pretty girl, and his nffec-
ton being duly reciprocated, he wrote re-
pcatcdly to her parents for their consent to
n marriage. Receiving no answer, he got
out OF patience and poisoned himself. The
next day came a letter from the parents
with their consent. Tho young woman was

expired at his funeral.
The first mistake made by this young man
was writing to the parents. A personal in-
terview with the father was what he should
have sought, even though it was likely to
be at the expense OF a refusal. In the aver
age courtship, the needy lover and the male
parent are natural enemies. The one with
whom tho young woman finally sides is the
one that will win; and in the end her
support is likely to 60 to tho man
who shows tho most persistent pluck.
When suitor does not tackle the
old man face to face, but writes letters
instead, it implies q lack OF confidence
in the Justice OF his cause. II he has tho
courage OF his convictions md entire trust
in tho sincerity OF his swecthcart's attach
ment he should regard the preliminary
veto OF her relative as merely mark Of his
aifectionate regard for his daughters vel
fare; a disagrceable formality which it is
well to get through with as soon as possi-
bic. Then tho lover has only to go to work
and provide himself with the means of in
dependent support; when, il tho young
| woman is OF age, and they remain OF the
same mind, they can go and get married.
But for any man to allow himself to be-
lieve that his chance OF happiness rests
upon the reply Of q parent who may be inl-
bued with prejudice, to a letter that may De

The Way to Get Rid Of 1t.

One OF the fashionable pastimes this win
car is to get vaecinated. Young women are
forming parties like theatre parties for the
purpose Of being vaccinated in company,
and physicians with vaccine quilts are in
great demand. There Is enough smallpox
about to make the fashion exceptionally
sensible, and the vaccinating corps Of the
Health Department are extending it among
those who are too poor to pay for this pro-
eection against the odious disease.
Last week eighteen cases Of smallpox
we're reported in the city. and during the
present week they have been OF daily oc-
ourrence. Brooklyn has had more than n
score Of cases since the year opened. The
disease has also become much more preva-
ient than usual at Chicago, and it has broken
out In the penitentiary at Fort Madison,
Iowa Last autumn smallpox appeared
among come OF the operatives In the mills
In the vicinity OF West Troy in this State,
who caught tho disease at an evening
party; but vaccination and the seeus!on
Of those afflicted prevented it's progress,
and 1t was soon driven out OF the vicinity.
Sufficient opportunity for contagion. how
ever, has existed to bring the disease
Aither, and there Is now reason enough for
using every precaution against 1t.
There are, OF course, opponents OF vaccl-
nation, as there are Of every other good
thing. An characterization society has
already published 10 THE SUN its protest
against the efforts Of the Health Depart
ment to vaccinate tho people generally.
But the objections to the practice are not
sustained by practical experience. while OF
its benefits We have abundant proof. 1t wo
had an equally enicacious means OF protect
ing children against diphtherla. for instance,
the average OF llfo here would DO higher and
the number OF mournerE fewer.
But these outcrics against vaccination

large portion OF our foreign population,
particularly the Germans, who formerly
dreaded evil consequences from the visits
OF the public vaccinators, have been chiefly
overcome, and we may safely assume that
we shall not now experience another great
visitation OF smallpox comparable with
those which afflicted New York six, seven,
and nine years ago.
In 1872, for instance, nearly one thousand
OF tho thirty-two thousand deaths which
occurred were from smallpox. In 1874 an
epidemic OF the loathsome disease broke
out among the German population, and In
1874 and 1875 the great number OF 4,6is cases
were reported. Over thirty per cent. OF
them were among the Germans, though
they constituted less than onc-sixth OF the
inhabitants. The epidemic spread because
so largo number of people were in need OF
vaccination, against which the Germans
especially had strong prejudice.
1t was then that n permanent vaccinating
corps was established, and systematic gra'
tuitous vaccination was introduced. As
the result, New York has been kept compar'
atively FREQ from the disease since 1876
For two or three years II was almost un
known here And tho same means OF pre-
vontion, accompanied by efficient measures
for sequestrating cases which do appear
will soon again drive it out OF the city.

The Cooks Bail and Exhibition.

Next Tuesday evening the annual ball OF
the French cooks will take place at the
Academy of Music. These cooks are organ
lied into benevolent society, and this ball,
which will be the fifteenth given by them. is
for the benefit OF the widows and orphans
fund Of that organization.
But though balls may be given for philan-
thropic purposes. they must appeal to some
thing besides peoples charitable impulses
to draw together great and brilliant throngs.
And this cooks ball does offer extraordinary
attractions The Charity Ball may be fash
ionable and elegant. The late ball Of tho
Corcle do Harmonic was full Of exhilara-
tion, and provocative OF gayoty OF carnival
sort. The military balls offered the young
mon OF the National Guard chance to sport
their uniforms before the fair sex. But the
cooks ball has feature peculiar to it, and
one of surprising interest.
There are in the SocictG Culinaire Phllan-
thropique eighty members, besides sixteen
honorary members. The most famous OF
the French cooks OF New York, some OF them
gastronomic artists with European as well
as an American reputation, are enrolled in
this membership. For the purposes OF their
annual ball these masters of cookery enter
into friendly competition to produce tho
most perfect gnstronomic and aesthetic eff
fects which their noble art is capable OF
conceivng.
The supper at the French cooks ball is,
therefore, its grand and unique feature.
The bill OF fare for next Tuesday evening
| comprises, for instance, about ninety differ
| ent dishes. many Of which are OF the most
| elaborate and highly ornnmcnted character,
| while each Of them is the masterpiece OF its
| author. On the tables in Irving Hall, which
will be connected with the Academy Of Mu-
sic for the convenience OF tho bail, will be
displayed the most brilliant achievements
of which metropolitan cookery is capable
Each artist prepares his dish knowing that
it will come under the criticism of experts
in practical gastronomy. and is accordingly
! stimulated to do his best.
| Hence the cooks ball does more than pro.
| vide amusement for those who attend 1t and
rare repast for their discussion. 1t also
affords an opportunity for the great annual
cookery exhibition OF the city. What ad
vances have been made in the gastronomiC
art during the year may there be seen. Tn,
inventive capacity OF our artistic cooks
there has chance to display itself.
In Irving Hall on Tuesday night will be helC
the grand cookery tournament to borrow G
term from the knights OF old. What the ad
dress and prowcss OF our cooks can accom-
plish will there appear, and it will be no
only sight at which n man with an appre
ciativc eye can gaze with aesthetic delight
but also n feast OF which ho can partak
with material satisfaction, no matter hov
vigorous his appetite or how exacting hi
taste in gastronomy. We hope the cooks
society will largely increase the fund 70
their widows and orphans by the proceed
OF their ball.

Of the peasantry for bread, which is becon-
Ing every day more vehement and bitter,
cannot be disregarded by the Cars coun-
sellors II they would save the dynasty.
Heretofore the loyalty OF the mo,Gk has
been the last stronghold OF the Romanoffs,
the one impregnablo barrier against the
Nhilist propaganda; but we doubt II 1t is
proof against starvation.
We scarcely need point out the bearing Of
the crop failure on those indirect taxes
which hitherto have helped to fill the Rus
sian treasury. A great shrinkago OF i'm
ports was inevitable, because the people had
no surplus grain with which to make pur-
chascs, and the attempt to obviate tho dim
mutton OF income from this source by aug
menting custom house dues was certain to
miscarry. Tho sum Of 1t Is that Russia is
In an extremely grave predicament, and
that its rulers arc at their wits end to pay
their debts, collect their dwinding rcve-
nues, and meet tho urgent necessities
OF tho people. Wo may assume, there
fore, that so long as the present Car
lives, these facts will insure absten-
tion from war and n determined effort
to enforce economy. 1t does not follow that
ALExANDER's death might not be succeeded
by an abrupt change OF policy, and reck-
less expenditure for warlike aggression, for
just such an act OF madness was committed

The ARTICLES in the American
newspapers calling attention to the
muniDcence OF the Mexican Congress
in granting subsidies to railroads, and
casting doubt upon the ability OF
Mexico to pay the promised subven-
tons, have brought out" the Mex
lean Journals on the matter. They
are trying to reassure the skeptical
that the money will be forthcoming
at the appointed times, but it is ques-
tionable if anyone will have bis fears
overcome by their arguments or as
sertious. They base their calculations
and promises chiefly upon the ex-
pectation Of wonderful Increase of
trade, and the consequent increase of
the state revenue. The railroads will
undoubtedly develop Mexican trade
and industry, but it can hardly help
matters out of the difficulties into
which the inconsiderate Congress has
reeklessly gotten things. In less
than four years the Mexican
government has granted subsidies TO
forty-two companies. the total
amount bsing over $4,000, 900.
Over $40, 600, 900 of this sum will be
called for within the next five years.
Two companies, the Central and
National, have a lien upon the Gus
toms receipts for something ever
$50, 100000 However, this lien ex.
tends to ouly 10 per cent. OF those re-
ceipts, no minimum or maximum
sum being mentioned. Should the
receipts be large the subsidy would be
the sooner paid, and Uice versG. a!
the present rate of customs receipts
the Central and National companies
would get their msney in twenty
years, whereas they expect to be en-
titled to it all within five years. The
credit OK Mexico is so bad that il
would be impossible for her to borrow
money q. anything like rate OF In
terest that could be paid. The Con-
greGs has seemingly voted whatever
has been asked, without for a mo-
ment seriously considering the ability
of the government to meet the obi
gations; and the railroad companies
have accepted in apparent good
faith whatever has hsen profered,
without rejecting that political rev
olntion may oveTturn all that has
been done, and that revolution ii
liable to occur at any time. How
ever, this lavishness on the part @
the southern republic may eventually
prove blessing to the people o! tia
