From The Hampshire Co. tMass.) Journal.
The. following extracts from a
pamphlet by Alfred E. Giles, on
s''The Iniquity Of Compulsory Vac
cination and the Unconstitutionality
OF its Statutes
Mr.. Henry Bergh, the well known
chief officer of the New York society
for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails, argues that the facts which he
gives are utterly subversivo of the
claims Of vaccination, and call loud
II for repeal Of the despotic laws,
wherever they exist, of compulsory
vaccination.
John Pickering, Fellow of the
English social science society, says:
"Yaccination is 4 folly and a crime;
it is net q prorhlylactic against
small pox, but, on the contrary, pro-
duces it; and, in addition, It is a
fearful engine Of death, by commune
icst:ng along with the vaccine virus,
other diseases, all EQUALLY lcthal, and
which are yearly on the increase"
Carl Spinzig, NJ. D., in his very
best scientific and elaborate article
lin the St. .Lon;s Clinical Record fol-
Feb. aud March, 1881, and since re-
iprinted in pamphlet form, entitled,
fsFailurc Of Vaccination" closes his
careful discussion Of tile matter as
follows: sNYw, in conclusions, in
view Of the patho-chemical action Of
lyariola, and the danger and utter
futility Of vaccination above abnnd-
antly set forth, must not, then, its
claimed protection against small
pax be regarded as vanity, and ita
Icoutinued practice = crime?"
DR.. Il. Il. Moves, late resident sur
geon to Boston city hospital, says:

there, over the combination of mill

action on the part Of producers is be-
ing arranged for, to secure n with

Death OF Tommy Taylor.

Thomas P. Taylor, a young mai Of
nineteen years, died last night at twelve
o'clock at the residence Of his aunt,
Mrs. j. p, Strange, corner of Madison
and Third streets. He had been sick
with pneumonia about ten days. The
deceased was a nephew of Colonel w.
Il. Taylor, and was one of the most
highly esteemed and respected young
men Of Memphis. His habits were
good, and his moral character was
above reproach. In demeanor and
personal bearing he was exceptionally
correct and courteous. Although SC
young, he had a mature mind and en-
joyed the companionship and conf
dence of many solid business men
much older. He held an important
trust in the house Of Porter, Taylor &
Co.. and bid fair to achieve a high
position in business circles. He was
a conscientious, noble boy, and his
untimely death will be sincerely
mourned by all who knew him. A
notice Of his funeral will appear to-
morrow morning.

After the PawnbrOkers.

The most troublesome class with
whom the police have to deal are
buyers of stolen property. Most OF
them are in league with the thieves,
and aid them in their designs, by
affording them a ready market for
their goods. 1t is useless to plead ig-
n%orance, as nearly all undiscovered
robberies are reported at once and de-
scriptions Of the stolen goods left with
these parties.
The pawn shops too are beginning
to grow troublesome and annoying "a
the police. An instance oOeErred
yesterday which shows up one estab-
lishment at least, in a very bad light,
Charles Hancock, a. hospital patient was
arrested for stealing an overcoat, from
William Rosa, and when searched, a
pawn ticket for the coat was found on
his person. Hancock expressed him
self as penitent, saying he had taken
the coat while drunk, and would as
sist Rose ia getting the coat from the
pawnbroker.
