largo 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 thrty-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,Gis 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 large number of people were in need OF
vaccination, against which tho Germans
especially had q 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 1t was almost un-
known here And tho same means OF pre-
vontion, accompanied by efficient measures
for scquestrating cases which do appear
will soon again drive it out OF the city.

The Way to Get Rid Of II.

One OF the fashionable pastimes this win
Cor is to get vaecinated. Young women arc
forming parties like theatre parties for the
purpose OF being yaccinated in company,
and physicians with vaccine quilts are in
great demand. There Is enough smallpox
about TO make the fashion exceptionally
sensible, and the vaecinating corps Of the
Health Department are extending it among
those who are too poor to pay for this pro-
lection against the odlous disease.
Last week eighteen cases Of smallpox
were reported in the city. and during the
present week they have been OF daily oc-
currence. Brooklyn has had more than n
score Of cases since the year opened. Tho
disease has also become much more preva-
lent than usual at Chicago, and 1t has broken
out In the penitentary 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 tho seelus!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 tho disease
hither, and there Is now reason enough for
using every prccaution against II.
There are, OF course, opponents OF vacci-
nation, as there are OF every other good
thing. An anti-vecclnation society has
already published 10 THE SUN its protest
against the efforts Of the Health Depart
mont to vaccinate the people generally

Next Tuesday evening the annual ball OF
the French cooks will take place at the
Academy Of Music. These cooks are organ
izcd into benevolent society, and this ball,
which will bo 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 dc Harmonic was full OF exhilara-
tlon, and provocative OF gayoty OF n 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 tho SocictG Culinaire Philan-
thropique eighty members, besides sixteen
honorary members. The most famous OF
the French cooks OF New York, some Of them
gastronomic artists with u 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 n friendly competition to produce the
most perfect gastronomc and aesthetic ef-
fects which their noble art Is capable OF
conceiving.
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 omnmcnted character,
while each Of them is the masterpiece OF its
author. On tho tables in Irving Hall, which
will be connected with the Academy OF Mu-

Hence the cooks ball does more than pro

q rare repast for their discussion 1t alst
affords an opportunity for the great annua
| cookery exhibition OF the city. What ad
vances have been made in tho gastronomi
art during the year may there be seen. Th,
inventive capacity OF our artistic cooks
there has chance to display itself.
In Irving Hall on Tuesday night will be hel,
the grand cookery tournament, to borrow
term from the knights OF old. What the ad
dress and prowcss Of our cooks can accom-
plsh will there appear. and it will be no
only n sight mt which II man with an apprc
ciativc eye can gaze with aesthetic delight
but also n feast OF which he can partak

Heretofore the loyalty Of the motVk has
been the last stronghold OF the Romanoffs,

We scarcely need point out the bearing OF
the crop failure on those indirect taxes
which hitherto have helped TO fill tho Rus
sian treasury. great shrinkagc 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 it Is that Russia is
In an extremely grave prcdicamcnt, and
that its rulers are at their wits end to pay
their debts, collect their dwndling revc-
nues, and meet tho urgent necessities

less expenditure for warlike aggression, for

by France only few years before the down
fall OF the dncicm regime. But in the one

The ineXperience of q student at Stuttgart
has been the cause OF tragedy most pain
full and unnecessary. The young man fell
in love with very pretty girl, and his fec
tion being duly rcciprocated, 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 letter from the parents
with their consent. The young woman was
80 aggravated by her lovers lack of judg-
ment that sho also consumed poison, and
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 ono with
whom tho young woman finally sides is the
one that will win; and in the end her
support is likely to go to tho man
who shows the most persistent pluck.
When suitor does not tackle tho
old man face to face, but writes letters
instead, it implies a lack OF confidence
in the Justice OF his cause. II ho has tho
courage OF his convictions, and entire trust
in tho sincerity Of his swecthcart's attach
ment, he should regard tho preliminary
veto Of her relative as merely mark Of his
affectionate regard for his daughters vel
fare; disagrccable formality which 1t 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 the young
woman is OF age, and they remain OF tho
same mind, they can go and get married,
| But for any man to allow himself Ia be.
| lievc that his chance OF happiness rests
| upon the reply Of a parent who may be inI-
bued with prejudice, to a letter that may be
full of nonsense, is not wise. Letters are
but written characters which may express,
| or may disguise, the writer's thoughts,
But facts are much moro substantial, aul
| may be trusted to stand wear and tear.
II the suitor has neither tho courage Il
his convictions nor confidence in tho lam
sci, he is certainly in n bad way, and per-
haps would do well to cmigratr and try tc
