one OF this mans children took
smallpox. No doctor was called in
but the child was nursed by his
mother and recovered. Thsn the
mother herself took smallpox and
died, after which two more of the chill
dren fell victims to the disease, and
three more had TO be taken to the hos
pital. Bad though this was, there was
more to come, If the story told by tee
vestry De true. The anti-vaccin alton
lst borrowed from neighbor suit OF
black clothes TO wear at his wife's
funeral. He kept the clothes in bis
house a few days before returning
them. Shortly after their return
their owner also took the smallpox,
was conveyed 10 the hospital and
died there. Since then several
houses Ia the same neighborhood
have become infected, and some
sixteen Cases ofsmall-pox have been
taken to the hospital. Commentary
On such case ia needless. The

Washington Etiquette.

It is said by those who have been presented at the Spanish court that in his mode of re- ceiving the diplomatic corps at his residence on the 18th, and the French and German visi- tors in the rotunda the following day, Presi- dent Arthur adopted the plan observed at that court On both the occasions noted, instead of the President standing as has been the case heretofore, in the appointed place, and awaiting the arrival of visitors who would pass him in turn, pausing as they did so to exchange greetings, the visitors awaited his arrival, and were stationary while the President approached and greeted each in turn.
 Another feature of the reception which was noticed was that President Arthur and Score tary Blaine both wore frock coats, while all the gentlemen of the diplomatic corps not entitled to wear court uniforms wore dress suits. It will be remembered that during President Hayes administration, it was long a mooted point as to whether dress or frock coats should be worn by gentlemen without uniform at the official New Years reception of the diplomatic corps at the White House, as it occurs always before noon. President Hayes always wore dress suit but Secreta- ry Evarts until last New Years invariably wore frock coat Last New Years day he followed the Presidents example. The di- plomats without uniforms used to be puzzled to know whether in this respect to follow the example of the President or the Secretary of State.
 gentleman not entitled to wear uni form, but who occupies an important place in one of the foreign legations here, speaks of having been puzzled as to what would be the most suitable dress to wear when Presi- dent Gar6eld's funeral services occurred at the Capitol He came to the conclusion that as those members of the diplomatic corps who wear uniforms at European courts would wear them on that occasion, dress suit would be the DrODer one for him and so he wore it. Some question the propriety of ap- bearing in full dress at funeral, while oth- CTS think it proper to show to the majesty of death the same deferenee in this respect that they would pay to an earthly sovereign This is the custom at funerals of rulers in Europe. At two funerals in two private families in Washington within few years one of the chief mourners took this view of the case. One was that of child of a noted Washing ton correspondent. Here the father appear ed at the funeral in full evening dress. The other occasion was the funeral of the wife of an army officer, when the husband wore his full dress uniform in which to escort her to the grave.

SOME THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN. There are several things that are reasona- ply sure to happen if the city is unwise I enough to buy the waterworks. Most if not all of the offices in the Water department will be given to men chosen not because of special fitness for their work, but because they are 'sgood fellows" and have l the requisite political backing. These men, once in office, will stay there as long as possible. Instead of managing the department solely for the best interests of the citizens, they will manage it so as tofgain strength to hold on to their offices Pipes will be laid to out of-the way places, where it will not pay to lay them. The ar gument will be that water is free and should not be withheld from any reputable citizen. The taxpayers will pay the bills.
 The pipe makers will have a direct interest in having as much pipe as possible laid, and their efforts in this direction will count.
 People living upon the outskirts of the city will insist upon having ''city water" Their votes will be back of their insisting. Com binations will be made between them, and they will get much that they ask for at the public expense
 The individual citizen will be subject to the dictation and the arbitrary decisions of the Water department, and the expense of re- dress will be so great that he will submit rather than fight, as is now often seen to be the case in regard to other departments of our city government.
 Complaints made to the Water depart ment and given ia public hearing" will real ly be decided upon at a subsequent private conference of some of the officers of the Water department. This is the way the thing is now done in some of our city depart ments.
 Individuals will be oppressed and injured by those who have the authority of law to back them. and the rest of the community, who don't suffer the same evils, will have very little interest in helping remedy them The consequence will be that few of them will be remedied.
 If a man of influence wants some particu- lar pipe laid he will discover that an easy way to get it laid is to become member of the body that controls the Water depart ment This and other elements of strife connected with the department will fill our local politics and newspapers with never ending quarrels It is so in other cities. It will be so here.

He regarded the control of the American people over themselves as sim ply wonderful In the railroad cars, on the street cars and on all the public occasions he had witnessed in this country he found the same degree of control existing. As to edu- cation the Colonel was great stickler for the scientific studies treated of in the higher German universities, yet he must acknow1- edge that in America he had found that the cultivation of the average people had att tained much higher degree than anywhere in Europe.
