A SMALLPOX Hospital.

The City Council will hold an ad
journed session this evening at which
no doubt the small pox question will be
considered and action ,ken on the re.
quest of the Board of Health for the
City Hospital for use for smallpox pa
tients during the prevalence of the
disease. After all that has been said
and threatened by the citizens in the
western part of the city, it is not likely
the Board will get the Hospital for the
purposes desired, and even if the City
Council would grant the use of it there
would probably be an injunction laid
against the Board using it before a
smallpox patient could be put into it.
Under these circumstances it would
seem useless for the Board of Health to
waste time in waiting for the action of
the City Council when it would do them
no good even should such action be IA
vorable. Every day spent in waiting
is day lost and the disease is gaining
that much headway. Immediate and
decisive action is required to che /; k the
disease, and every day lost without
taking such action only gives the dis
ease so much more headway. If the
Scheutzen Park can be procured, it |
would be advisable for the Board of
Health to procure it at once 1t is suf-
ficiently far removed from the city
and remote from dwelling houses TO
cause no alarm on that account, and
besides the buildings are large, airy
and well ventilated. The air is sa.u-
b1ious and it has the additional advan.
tage of being surrounded by board
fence which will keep off intruders.
Being private property it will Of course
require barga in with the owner, and
the latter as natural thing will be no
ways backward in making as good a
bargain for hi mself as possible, but this
is no time to higgle about two or three ;
hundred dollars. Get hospital,
that is the main thing now. No
doubt an unnecessary scare was
created at the proposition to get the
City Hospital from the city. We do $
not believe that the evil train of conse-
quences would have flowed from the u
City Hospital had it been granted that T.
have been predicted, and the scare is al
together unnecessary, but that is not V
the question ust now. The citizens on 81
the hill who are a thrifty wel-to-do peo- "
pie, many of them our leading iner, Il
chants and manufacturers, who have g
plenty Of means will not permit the use "
of the City Hospital for smallpox pa a
tients, and 50 long as they have the p
right to take out an injunction to pre- st
vent the use OF it, as stated, they will do .
1t, and there the controversy might a.
well end. The Board of Health is will. IT,
ing, the City Council may be willing Sc
yet we donbt it, but the people living al
in that vicinity are not willing and in Ill
this case the p3op(e will be triumphant, IL
for they can defeat the project by the as
ielays allowed in tie law. Then let bl
The Board of health look out for some al
other locality as speedily as possible, or
or every moments delay gives force !"

Advice to q Charity Officer.

The Rev. C. P. Woodruff, Superintendent
of the New York Protestant Episcopal Mis-
sion, should be called to sharp account by
his society. Mr.. French, the Missionary Of
this society on Blackwell's Island, having
been called as o witness before the Senate
Committe, who were the Blackwell's Island
institutions, was instructed by most extra
ordinary letter from his superintendent that
he had no business to testify before the COM
mittee at all, for he was not supposed to
know anything in regard to the abuses, If
any, existing in the asylum. You are
there" said the superintendent, "only to
care for the spiritual welfare of the inmates,
and nothing more" Mr.. Woodruff should
take day of leisure aud read his four Cos
pels. He would find there that Christ has
taught his ministry throughout all time that
the only way to care for the spiritual well
fare Of men is the way Of universal sympa-
thy with suffering humanity in all its wants.
No man Is worthy to bear the name Of
Christ, who, sent to minister to the spiritual
wants of the insane, can witness the abuse
which Mr.. French witnessed in the Black
wells Island Asylum and keep silence re-
specting them.-C Christidn Union,

A Snow-white Ra ven.

Scarcely less rare than black tulip, red
haired negro or a fur leayed shamrock, is the
amazing natural curiosity now being exhib-
tied in the Berlin Aquarium TO the material
augmentation of that admirable institutions
daily receipts. A milk-white raven, with
pink eyes and red legs, received admission q
week ago to the great central ayiary in which
scores Of beautiful birds flutter and chirp and
build their nests i'm comparative freedom;
but his presence there caused such general
panic among the remaining inmates Of the
aviary that it has been found necessary to re-
move him to separate cage. Strange as IL
may seem, the other birds fnstinctively rec
ognized that this Corvine Albino was abnof-
NAL and therefore terrible. Many of these
became total abstainers from food aud drink
through sheer fright, while he shared their
quarters, and huddled together, shivering,
a; as great distance from the fearful anom-
ally as the limits of their prison would per-
init them to attain. In all respects, save his
extraordinary hues, the raven is as other ra-
vens. His appetite is apparently Unsuitable,
and he ministers to with formidable beak.
Neither in tone nor delivery is there alty
unusual mellowness or tenderness about his
croak. His pink eyes could not be more
steadfastly engaged in contemplating tie
main chance were they as yellow as burnish-
ed gold. He was found with coal black
brood Of brothers and sisters, in nest built
by his parents-whose surprise at his appear
ance, we should think, must have been con-
siderable-on the topmost branch or an old
tree in the Georgenthal, valley In Thuring.

A Stupid Phrase.

We find in eur esteemed contemporary, the
Boston Herald, some talk about ceasing to
patronize a newspaper" and also about
newspaper patronage" We do not consid-
er that anybody patronizes newspaper when
he buys it, or that the newspaper is under
any obligations to any one who either pur-
chases a copy or inserts an advertisement.
If il Is wise and sound newspaper, the
purchaser or advertiser gets the full worth Of
his money. and the account is even between
them. The only situation in which the word
patronage can be properly used in such case
is where the paper is mean and worthless and
the man pays for his copy or his advertise
ment more than the thing is really worth.
In that sort of circumstances there may be
patronage in the base sense Of the word-the
sense in which the Herald employs it. The
idea Of patronage contains In it something of
servility. 1t has no place in the American
Republic. 1t ought to be repuaiated and de-
tested by every self-respecting newspaper
and every selfrespecting citizen.--Ne,o York
Sun.

Seas oning Food

Many people have an idea that finely
favored dish must cost great deal. That
is mistake. If you have untainted meat, or
sound vegetables, or even Indian meal, to
begin with, you can make 1t delicious with
proper seasoning. One reason why French
cooking is much nicer than any othervariety
is that it Is seasoned with greater variety
of herbs and spices. These cost very little.
II you would buy few cents worth at .
time you would soon have good assort-
ment. The best kinds are sage, thyme, tar
ragon, sweet marjoram, mint, sweet basil,
parsley, bay leaves, cloves, mace, celery seed
and onions. II you will plant the seed Of
any OF these first mentioned In little boxes
on your window sill, or In sunny spot In
the yard, you can generally raise al you
need. Gather and dry them as follows:
Parsley and tarragon should be dried In
June and July, just before lowering; mint
In June and July, thyme, marioram and "a
voy in July and August; basil and sage In
August and September. All herbs should
be gathered In the sunshine and dried BY
artificial heat; their flavor h best preserved
by keeping them in air-tight tin cans or In
tightly corked glass bottles.

vernont's Cha mi pIon Dog.

Hugh NJ. Beebe, OF Andover, Windsor
county, claims to have the champion dog.
1t is thoroughbred Scotch shepherd, Leo,
and has been so we'll trained that Mr.. Beebe,
while at work i'm the field, can send the dog
to the house after any light tool which he
may want, and the dog never makes mis-
take, but gets what he is sent after. He will
get the cows without any trouble. Mr.. Bee
be has quite stock Of cattle, which are kept
in different stables, and he will open stable
door when the cattle are all la the yard aud
say to the dog: sLeo, drive them in" The
dog will pick out such cattle as belong i'm
that stable and drive them In without any
mistake. Leo Is great on devotional exer-
cises. When told that it is prayer time he
takes position in corner of the room with
his nose on chair and will remain, though
they may call and offer him his dinner, until
he hears the final amen. The past summer
Mr., Beebe left his vest in The cornield,
where 1t remained number Of days. Want
ing 1t one day, he said to the dog: . Leo, my
vest is down In the cornfeld; 60 and get It,"
The dog went directly to the field and soon
returned with the vest.-Bwlingto Free

The Daylight OF an Arctic Winter

Lieutenant Schwatka, since his recent re-
turn from successful expedition in search
of the remains of Sir John Franklin's III
fated company, combats the prevalent opin :
ion that the Arctic winter, especially In the
higher latitudes, is q period Of total dark
ness. In latitude S3' 90 20" north, the
highest point eve: reached by man, there are
four hours and forty-two minutes Of twilight
on December %, the shortest day in the
Northern Hemisphere. In latitude S2a 81,
north, the highest point where men have
wintered, there are six hours and two min
utes in the shortest day and latitude S4'
s2' north, 172 geographical miles nearer the
North Pole than Markham reached, and 32S
geographical miles from that point must yet
be attained before the true Plutonic zone, or
that one in which there is no twilight what
ever, even upon the shortest day Of the year,
can be said to have been entered by man.
OF course, about the beginning and ending
of this twilight is very feeble and easily ex-
tinguished by even the slightest mists, but
nevertheless exists, and Is quite apprcciable
on clear cold days, or nights, properly speak-
ing. The North Pole itself Is only shrouded
in perfect period Of sesenty-seven days.

TEE GREAT EASTERN.
A History OF the Famous but Most Unfortu-
nate Vessel.

The project of using the Great Eastern for
the transportation Of cattle from Africa has,
il SCENE, been definitely abandoned. To
what purpose, actual or intended, she will be
turned next, 1t would be hard to say. She
Is, indeed, an ill-fated vessel; she has been
unfortunate from the very start, and her his
tory is a curious combination and continue
ton of mishaps and disasters. Twenty-eight
years ago an Eastern Steam Navigation Com
pany was formed i'm England to maintain an
ocean trade to the East round Cape of Good
Hope. The next year the Directors decided
that such trade would not pay, owing to
the expense of supporting coaling stations
along the route, unless the ship could carry
coal enough for the round trip. Arrange
ments were accordingly made to build YES
sci which would transport 1000 passengers,
5000 tons of merchandise, and 1900 tons OF
coal for fuel. The result, with many chan
ges in the original plan, was the Great East
ern. She was some years building, and was
finally ready to launch in November, 1857.
To avoid the danger Of launching so long
vessel stern foremost, she was constructed
with the broadside toward the river, OH
timber foundation of vast strength with slop-
ing rails down to the water. The ship was
too heavy, or the rails we're too gradual, and
various efforts were made,a and S3OO,OOO or
500. 900 spent before she was got of. After
completion IL was uncertain what would
core of the trade to and from Australia;
consequently, it was determined TO send her
hither ON trial voyage. The attempt was
very unfortunate. She left the Thames Sep
tember s, 1850, but an explosion occurred
of Hastings, killing and wounding number
Of persons, and bringing the proposed trip
suddenly ~ an end at Weymouth. After
costly repairs, bitter recriminaiions and va
rious law suits, and the death Of Brunei, her
panner, she ain set sail for New York in
June, 1850, aud reached it in IL days. For
nearly year she piled between England and
the United States, but steadily lost money,
not making sufficient to pay for her current
expenses and for constantly needed repairs.
In December, 1851, when there was some
prospect of trouble between this country and
Britain, the Great Eastern carried some 1000
troops from England to Canada with de-
gree Of comfort never before experienced by
so large . body Of men. After that the COM
pany did not know what to do with her, and
sbs might have rotted at her moorings had
she not been wanted to lay the Atlantic ca
BILE In 1894. Since she has been repeatedly
employed for the same purpose, and always
with satisfaction. Nevertheless, she has
proved very expensive luxury. She has
cost, 1t Is said, to dale, including numberless
repairs. some $a5,0oO,0co, and has never re-
turned one-qnarter of that sum. She has
gained such name for ill-luck-all sailors
are superstiiious-that 1t has always been
hard to find seamen willing to ship on her
She has ruined more than dozen men, and
she may last long enough to ruin dozen
more.
