The Registrar General in his ANNUAL SUMMARY for the year 1880, tabulates the Smallpox mortality of London for the last thirty years as follows:-
 Decades. Est Mean Pop. Smallpox Deaths 1S51-69 2.57O 4S9 7.15O 1861-7O 3,O18, 193 8.347 1e71-90 3,466, 4S6 15,551
 It is absurbed to say, in the face of these returns, that Vacc1nation has saved thous- ands of lives, or that the mortality would have been greater but for Vaccination, or that the deaths accrue, as Dr. W. B. CAR PEWTER maintains, from the "un-vaccin- ated residuum," seeing that in the first decade, when but few, comparatively, were Vaccinated, the mortality was hot half as great as in the last, when 85 per cent. of the infant populatson had received the benefit of the State-endowned prophy- tactic.
 These facts, coupled with the additional one that during the year 1881, 2,37l per Sons died ln London of Smallpox, 615 ot whom were under yeaes ot age, show all enormous increase ot that disease, are ut Gerly subverslve of the claims of Vacclna- tion, and call loudly for repeal ot the despotlc law by which 1t IS enforced.

 The following appears in Beufort's Wine and Spirits Journal :'
 The wholesale liquor dealers and brewers of Connecticut have formed 8 mutual protective organization, and intend, at the next meeting of the State Legislature (this month) to endeavor to obtain some relief from their present odious and unreasonable license law.
 The Executive Committee, composed of Messrs. Peter Wren, of Bridgeport; J. G.. Lane. of Hartford; M Zunder, of New Haven J. B. Shannon. of Norwich. and Wm. H. Hull, of New Haven, solicit the support of the trade in the movement. The Legislature is 8 good one, and we trust that the movement may be success full
 Concerning the above very significant item, temperance paper published in Chicago says: "Onr Connecticut friends had better look carefully after the above committee as we'll as the good legisla- ture." Yes, even so. Let the friends of temperance best1r themselves, and do all that is possible to hinder the opening of the gates of death still wider in this State, throughout which is heard to-day the suffering of the innocent victims of the rum-traffic and the groans of the dying inebriate as he goes to his final and awful doom CoM.

Boy criminals are becoming com mon. In a single issue of daily paper we find accounts of the arrest of two gangs, one of three for attempt ing to wreck railroad train in the West, and the other of four youthful burglars here in New England Thus boys are put in training for crime. Lack of proper home education and parental discipline is one cause of such crime. Another cause is the per nicious books and papers which are suffered to fall into the hands of boys, corrupting their hearts and teaching them to look upon criminals as heroes. Another incentive to such career is the honors which a certain class in society pay to great criminals.-Ee.

She re- turned home, was prostrated by the swell ing of her head, and loss of speech follow ed.

SLEEP

THE intellectual and moral connections of sleeping have, think, not been suti- ciently appreciated. Men and boys have been praised for G. burning the midnight oI." Now this '' midnight oil " is delu- si, and snare. The student who is fast asleep at eleven o'clock every night and wide awake at seven O clock every morning is going to surpass another stuuent, of the same intellectu l ability, who goes to bed after twelve and rises before i've In sleep the plate on which the picture is to be taken is receiving it's chemical preparation, and it is plain that that which is the best prepared will take the best picture.
 Men who are the fastest asleep when they as eep are the widest awake when they are awake.
 Great workers must be great resters.
 Every man who has clerks in his employ ought to know what their sleeping habits are. The young man who is up till two, three and four o'clock in the morning, and must put in his appearance at the bank or store at nine or ten o'clock and work all day, cannot repeat this process many days without certain shakiness coming into his system, which he will endeavor to steady by some delusive stimulus. It is in this way that many young man begins his course to ruin. He need not necessarily have been in bad company. He has lost his sleep; and losing sleep is losing strength and grace.
 Here is the outline of the history of a suicide within my own knowledge: A young man, stranger in New York, in a good situation, in large boarding house, has pleasant young companlons spends his evenings out; goes to midnight parties, from eleven to seven; hs nerves become disturbed, then little drink-a little mis- take in business-another drink-reproof from employer-more drink-more mis- takes loss of fsituation-no help from frivo- lous companions-money all gone-then credit all gone-then turned out of the boarding ng-house-wandering in the street. acknowledgements shoots himself. -EgchGmgs.

what shall we DO For S0uahern
AgrHcuIa@re?

The Agricultural editor Of the New
Orleans PicGyafne says that TO make
Southern agriculture more prosperous
and the Southern States more prosperous
three things are particularly needed:
I. Set aside whisky and distiIleries, and
let wine and vineyards take their places.
2. Make poor lands rich, and never let
rich lands become poor.
8. Make enough corn, hay, potatoes,
peas, oats and other crops to keep all do
mestic animals in fine condition the year
round, and have plenty of homemade,
wholesome food for table use
With the above principles properly car
ried out out, farm properly stocked with
work animals, sheep, hogs, domestic
fowls, etc, an industrious farmer should
be prosperous and independent.
Southern farms need grading up. There
are too many farmers who take but little
interest in farming. 4 farmer should love
his home and his farm as he loves no
other place on earth, and should labor
and study constantly to make it more
beautiful and attractive, and his fields and
pastures more profitable as long as be
lives.
Poor lands may be made rich, and may
be made to enrich the owner; vineyards
may be planted all over the Southern
States as they exist in France and other
countries, and home supplies of provisions
may be made in great abundance, and q
surplus for other States and countries
But to do these things successfully, farm
ers must believe in them, and take hold in
earnest IN great agricultural reforma-
tion. The South has the elements of
wealth almost beyond computation, and
the farmers have ample home supplies
and independence buried in their own
soil, but it takes thought and muscle and
perseverance to bring these treasures to
the surface and utilize them.

Mr.. X. b. Gunby, of Columbus, Ga,
from Columbus to Tallahassee, was re-
Gently interviewed by the editor of the
Columbus Enquirer San in reference to
the route, the country through which II
passes, and the general prospects of bus
mess that railroad would command,
from which we extract the following:
The distance from Bainbridge To TalIahas-
see, Florida, is f0riy-One miles and only lourieen
miles beyond to ST. Marks, on the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico. Mr.. Gunby also surveyed the
route TO Tallahassee, and he reports the country
very similar to that found between Lumpkin and
Cuihbert. Ii is rolling and very fertile In this
section large quantities of tobacco raised
Around Lake jackson the lands are extremely
fertile and very productive. In the conversation
with Mr.. Gunby he stated that this Is
THE MOST DESIRABLE ROUTE
for a railroad of any that he could think of any
where Knowing that he could give his reasons
upon which he based the remark, we asked
why sOH

of-way. Mr.. Gunby tells rs that he never met with
more courteous treatment and that everyone was
anxious 10 do what they c0dld 10 aid in the
enterprise. They will offer no obstacle that
would hinder its progress.
A correspondent writing to the the
Savannah Nescs says this of the enter
prise: " The Chattanooga, Columbus and
Florida railroad, the connecting link of
the Florida system with the Northwest, Is

Just over the brow Of the bill,
Overlooking the valley below,
Where the feathery pines are all tipp'd
With crystals Of beautiful snow,
A little brown cottage doth stand,
And some of the inmates know.
There's Jimmy, = red-headed lad,
Full of business from morning till night,
Nicely blending his work with his play,
And seeming In both to delight,
With motive that's higher than they
An earnest desire to do right.
There's Annie, gay little witch,
With round rosy cheeks and black eyes,
With y voice that is sweet as a birds,
And lips that would scorn to tell lies,
With hands always ready TO help
Is not little Annie prize?
The gray headed grandfather sits
In chair by the warm glowing fire;
Half asleep in the soft light be sits,
And the children draw near to admire
The thin snowy locks and white beard
Which mark the long years of the sire.
The dear mothers grave, pleasant face,
For a moment n dull shadow wears
But shadows are there out of place,
And the wife has forgotten her cares;
For bark on the still evening air
Her husbands quick footstep she hears.
There is poverty, so says the world,
In the little brown house on the hill,
There are riches of value untold,
That the heart with contentment doth fill
The wealth that is better than gold,
That all men may have If they will.
