'INSPTRATION. :"

An uncommon type of swindler was
tried few days ago in Paris for forging
checks for 5000 francs. He was born
in 1910, and calls himself Valentine Seba
polls When four days old he was left al
the founding hospital at Agen. At Is he
left that town, and became in
turn sailor, soldier, trav-
eller and an antiquary in Egypt,
whence he went to India with a Swedish
officer. He then turned up as a tutor to a
Russian family in Holland, and was next
heard of at Bordeaux, where, having been
wounded during the war, he married a lady
who nursed him. His peculiar industry in
more recent years was to assume the char
acter of doctor, and worm himself into
the confidence of women patients of doubt
full position. At convenient time he adj
ministered narcotics, and robbed them of
what he could find. When tried, he as
serted that he was the unconscious envel-
Cpe of the soul of Plato that he had
distinct memory of many anterior exis-
fences, and posed as victim of metempsy
Ghosts and human ingratitude. He was re-
manded to 'Bicetre for three months, under
medical observation to test his sanity, and
was brought up again the other day, when
the doctors said he was shamming.

him. Blaine has in him a champion rather
more discreet than Reid, whether from
esensitiyeness to poverty" or some other
reason. is a question, perhaps
In any light the ex-Secretary is unfortu-
nate in having such friends, and. by seem
ing to eountenance their folly, he lays him
self liable TO the suspicion that the impru-
dence, not to say worse, shown IN some OF
his diplomatic correspondence, has extend
ed to other matters.
The frequent use by Reid of the epithet,
aGuiteau Republicans" to describe class
in that party, is sufficiently reprehensible
in any light When employed in behalf OF
public man in the preliminary stage OF
the Presidential race, it is at once evidence
of desperation that can prove only dis
astrous to his fortunes. If it were a ques-
ton of decency only, without regard to the
possible effect it will have on Mr.. Blaine
as an avowed candidate, it ought to be
entirely discountenanced. The comments
of the press ON Lawyer Seeville's attempt
to connect distinguished characters with
the Garfield murder, oaghfto enlighten Mr..
Blaine. It matters little to the public
what the effect may be on Whitelaw Reid
or his newspaper, or on Halstead or his
daily publication. The country still has
an interest in Mr. Blaine as public man,
whatever may be thought of this third ven
ture for Presidential nomination. That
may, in the estimation Of some, be regard
ed as proof that he is trif1e touched"
though not yet as badly as Reid or SEQ
vile. Nevertheless, people will be slow to
believe that this desperate endeavor, even
with Reds and Halstead's championship,
is proof conclusive that he is wholly off his
balance T.,
Mr.. Blaine is held responsible for the use
of the term s'Garfeld Republicans" 1t is
not a good battle cry.

high estimation, and the zeal with which
it championed him was believed to be Oh

equal to a good start in the race of 1884
Mr.. Reid, on the other hand, was proud of
the distinction thus reflected on himself.
The relation, however, appears to have had
an upsetting influence. Reds habit of

Willie and Editor Reid together, the former

from the latter. 1t led him, IN his speech
to the Guiteau jury, to denoupce President
Arthur, sx- Senator Conk1ing, Gen. Grant,
and the other great stalwarts as response

Moreover, Smallpox cannot properly DC
called epidemic in the United States. 1t is
true that there is much more of it here al
present than there was two and three years
ago. But then the disease has been prac-
tically banished from New York. Only two
or three deaths from it occurred dur
ing whole year, and those cases were
imported Elsewhere in the country, also,
there was little small pox. When. therefore,
after comparative exemption from the con-
tagion, it appears anew in many regions,
and considerable number of cases in each is
reported the people are naturally alarmed
and there is tendency to magnify the
prevalence of the disease.
Yet there is enough small pox about to
warn everybody of the necessity for taking
the precaution against it found in VAGINA

theory regarding the need of repeating vac

since the introduction of the virus
Universal vaccination, and revaecination

tional Board of Health, will do no. good,
even if they are Numbered forth every day.

A CHANGE oFBAsE.

/ Saturday s dispatches told us that the
President had appeinted as postmaster o
Norfolk, Va, II. B. Nichols whom
Malone opposed 1t took Malone by
surprise, and he's protested against it, and
secured the withdrawal of the nomination
Malone and Congressman d. Ezendort
| are at the White House. and may get the
President to change his mind again.
The telegram was an interesting sub
ject for reflection as it showed that even in
Washington there was a faint suspicion
that Malone controls the patronage of
Virginia, but most people held their breath
and awaited further developments, and yes
terday there came a dispatch which
stated that the Republican, the Presidents
organ had given the following explana-
ton:
On Friday last the name of William
Nichols was sent to the Senate as post
master of Norfolk, Va This denomination
of Nichols was an unintentional act of the
President, nor was it known by the Post
master General or First Assistant. The
L dbItAtiCi 10 II, lC
was greatly surprised, the nomination hav-
ing been unwittingly signed by him, with
many others The Postmaster-General and
his First Assistant found that the clerk of
department had prepared the nomination
without any authority, and handed it in
with others he had been directed to make
out The President at once directed the
withdrawal of the nomination, not because
he had changed his mind, but because it
was not his act, but only that of either a
very sharp or very dull clerk. An investi-
cation is to be had.
The talk about it being q mistake is of
course all nonsense. The President simply
changed the nomination when he saw it
did not suit Malone. In this connection
it is well to ask somewhat pertinent
question. The reason he must give for
changing The nomination is that it was an
unfit one. IF SO why did he ever make it?
IF it was fit why did he change it?
The only answer can be that it is Malone
who dictates those matters in Virginia. A

THE PROCLAMATION AGAINST SMALL.
PaX

That fifth wheel to the coach, the Ma
tional Board of Health, as it is called,
finds it necessary to make a great noise
once in a while, else it's existence would
be forgotten by the public. 1t magnifies
its office at every opportunity, and doubt
less mourns that the opportunities are so
few.
The comparative frequency of small-po
at present in different parts of the Union
has given this Board with a big name
and an Insignificant performance one of
its coveted chances to push itself into gen
eral notice. 1t has accordingly drawn up
a tremendous proclamation, declaring the
odious disease to be epidemic in the United
States.
But what difference does its appalling an
nouncement make? Wherever small pox
appears it is the business of the local au-
thorities to deal with it. The duty is one
so obvious, and the demand that it should
be fulfilled is SO general in every comnu-
nifty, that they are forced to give it atten-
ton. They need no prodding from this
