vACCINATING THE TROOPS.

Col MOUNTAINEERING is a great advocate OF vac
cnatiOn, but the company he commands is not,
and recently, before going into camp, the Colonel
resolved to have the men Vacclnated whether
they would or no. So he made trade like this
with Dr. Trough He would on Tuesday morn
inc send the men one by one to the Doctors
Office. He was to have two stalWart assistants
there. and Immediately seize the men as they
entered and vaccinate them by force. Editor
Keene had his Office Just across the hail in the
same building with the Doctor. Tuesday morn
ings issue of his paper contained malignant
assault on the Pebald Plungers" another mill
tary company. Keene knew the members OF the
company would come up to WallOp him, and so
he slyly took his sign and put it on DR.. 1roughs
door. Presently up came Lieutenant Pills OF the
Plungers. Blind with rage, he rushed into the
Doctors office, supposing it to be keenes. The
Doctor saw his uniform, and at once ordered him
seized Before he could say word the assistants
had him in the chair up with his sleeve!"
cried the Doctor "You villain, what are you
about 81 cried Pills You'll see.' and whack
went the Doctors knife. and in spite of Pills
howIs and struggles, he was vacclnated. Now
cit.n cried the Doctor and Pills was pushed out
and started downstairs. Then in came Colonel
Thug, of the Plungers Where is the pirate &? y
he asked The Doctor did not reply, but vacci-
mated the excited man in jitfy, and put him out.
Then others began to pour in, and all had the
same amazing experience, and the Doctor was
flying around like parched pea on hot shovel,
he was so busy And as the vaccinated men be-
can to accumulate outside and talk the matter
over their amazement was intense Lieutenant
Pills swore he'd go up again and kill the man,
and he tried it. But he got left on it, and the
doctor vaccinated him again and put him out,
and he being delirious with wrath bOlted in
again, and, after desperate fight, was vaccinated
again That satisfied him. He fled. And DR..
Trough had vaccinated twenty-five of the Plung-
ers, and they were outside preparing for an united
rush on his shop when Col. McWhangdang came
down to see the doctor We'll, Colonel, I've vac
cinated twenty-five of 'em!" you have? Why
| haven't sent one here | came TO tell you I'd
put it off till next week" Then who the &C.
henna have [ vaccinated?' By that time the
Plungers burst in, and a scene of wild confusion
ensued, till Col McWhangdang explained the
affair And then the Colonel nearly died oflaugh-
ter, and the Plungers talked Of hanging the Doc
tor. and then Keene looked out Of his door and
notified the Plungers that if they molested him
he'd print the whole story Of how they had been
vaccnated. And you bet they didn't desire that,
and so they merely voted it contemplate job
and dispersed.

that he lifted a heavy mahogany table with his

rior strength lay in his jaw and neck; and . ne

a. How sad is the story I'll tell.
II is not you think that my trouble Is drink,
But-THe Nary is going 10 H-l!'
Now we've had quite enough of the antique IDEAS
of those chaps who are nothing but sailors
They were well in their way but this Is the DAY
OF Science, IEsthetics and Tailors.
Scarce one of all those who with Farragut fought
Or with Porter stood fire stoUt-hcarted,
Is versed in Keramics, or acknowledgements
So their day of use has departed
II is true that they battled in treason black night
And carried the flag through with glory
But they very addressed and when this Is confessed
How sad seems their soul-stiTing story.

SECOND EDITION
The GOvernment's Credit.

A little more than two months ago
many OF the national banks and large
part of the business community were
insisting that the Government could not
hoat three per cent bond. President
Hayes even went SO far as to veto the
funding bill partly because he thought
the rate of interest provided was tDo
low. The history OF the recent financial
operations OF the Treasury and of the four
and Blk per cents demonstrate, how
ever, that the credit of the Government
IS stronger than Mr.. Hayes and Mr..
Sherman thought. We say nothing OF
the ranks, for they naturally objecL ito
the reduction Of interest On the NATIONAL
debt. Reduction of interest means 10 them
reduction Of the rate OF discount. 1t IL
doubtful IL many of the national bank
srs who made war on Congress BY sur
renedring circulation and disturbing the
market really beloved that three per
cent bond could not be sold par. If
they did think 50 they ought by this tins
70 have learned their mistake, for the
condition OF the market to-day demon
strates that the friends Of the funding
bill were right and Mr.. Hayes veto has
cost the Government very dearly. The
six per cent bonds, the interest on which
is now undergoing the process Of reduc-
tion by agreement, are not redeemable
until after June 80, but after that the
country will be paying half per cent
more than 10 necessary. The veto Of
the funding bill cannot fail to come to
be regarded as a very disastrous and un-
csllsd-for act and the prescience and
judgment Of the fnanciers who advised
and advocated 1t may we'll be doubted.
Owing to the fact that Secretary Win
dom has been successful in securing n
redustioD Of the rate on the skies the
country naturally begins to inQ uire con-
cerning the fives. The first sugges stio he
naturally come from Interested a quarte1s,
and those who desire to keep the rate as
high as possible are beginning by stating
that the fours, at the ruling premium,
are bringing to the investor about 845
per cent. This statement serves also
the fuIther purpose Of viDdicatinR Mr..
Hayes. 1t Ia not the truth, hswever.- -
At the present market prices four per
cents are worth 1164. They have steadl-
ly advanced since the announcement
OF the Treasury plan, from q fraction
more than 1l3. A four per cent bond
selling to-day at 1854 commands q pre-
mium of 1896, the difference bet ween
the two amounts being the accrued in-
terest, which must be deducted 10 order
to ascertain the presise premium on the
principal. At this advance the four Der
now realize to investors only 312 Der
cent interest. Should they continue to
advance in the same ratio as they have
been advancing for the past fsw weeks
they will soon command an absolute
premium Of IS, and then they will bB
practically three per cents. The four
and halfs are still lower than tue fourB.
They are selling now for Il4t, net pre-
MUM 1865, and at this price they re-
alizs to the investor 3. 2per cent Ttnet.
