THE BILL for the sale Of pure vac
cine virus to the people, at cost price,
reported favorably in the United States
Senate on Wednesday, is an excellent
measure. Vaccination is such a simple
operation that any person of ordinary
intelligence can perform it, and when
pure virus is brought within easy reach
of the masses, and they have been fully
informed upon the Importance Of such
protection, it is altogether likely that
vaccination will become SO general that
smallpox epidemics will be at an end in
this country.

reported lost. The old World building,
New York city, caught FIRE Tuesday
afternoon and was soon a mass of ruins,

danger until they were nearly surround

The SHIP CANAL.-At the con-
ference held at Senator Gorman's house,
Washington, last week, it was de-
termined that the next move should be
the introduction Of bill in Congress,
providing for the selection by the
President Of three officers Of the en-
gineer corps as a commission to locate
the route Of the canal, and it is possible
that an appropriation will be included
in the bill Of a sufficient amount to

at this session.

OSCAR HARTFoRD.-Oscar Wilde's
lecture at Hartford, Conn, last night,
was almost dead failure. The audi
ence did not exceed four hundred, and
Of these at least fifty came on free
passes. The Trinity College students,
who had been expected in force to imi-
tate the pranks Of the Yale and Har-
ward men, did not give the lecturer
even the poor compliment Of their at
tendance for this purpose. Only three
or four of them were present. The best
society Of Hartford was very slimly
represented, and the audience was Of
about that mixed character which usu-
ally attends a minstrel show. The
single round of applause which Mr..
Wilde received was when he bowed
himself off the stage, and even then it
was lukewarm.
