THE SMALLPOX.

The prevalence of smallpox through
out many sections of the country is at
tracing much attention from the press
and medical authorities. The rapid
spread of the disease in numerous cities
and towns is startling, and certainly
calls for prompt action on the part Of
authorities who are charged with the
care of the public health. tits reported
by the National Board Of Health that
the disease prevails to greater or less
extent in eighteen States and Terrific
ries, and it is considered to be in an ep-
idemic form in Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Chicago, parts of Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota,
California, Oregon, and the Washing
ton, Montana, and Indian Territories.
In Port Jervis, N. Y, the disease is
spreading rapidly and on Sunday last all
the churches in the town were closed by
order of the local board of health. The
wide spreading of smallpox through
the West is mainly due to immigration,
and there is little prospect that it will
be checked in sections already infected
before spring but the spread of the
disease in uninfected sections may, in a
great measure, be prevented by the en-
forcement of the health authorities of
therules and regulations recently adopt
ed by the National Board of Health
and approved by the President. Under
their regulations all emigrants upon ar
irving at any Of our ports from ports
where smallpox exists are, unless pro-
tected by having had the disease, re-
quired to be Yaccinated and kept in
quarantine until the period for the de-
velopment Of the disease is passed.
Thorough vaccination is the only pro
lection against this filthy disease. That
tt is protection no one who will study
the statistics can deny. In regard to
just how long the protection lasts, ply
sicians disagree, but as the operation is
trifing, everybody should endeavor to
be on the safe side by being re-vaccina-
ted every six or seven years. The re-
port of the physicians in charge of the
smallpox hospital at Wilmington last
winter showed that few who had been
effectually vaccinated were attacked by
the disease, and that these few had it
light. Thorough vaccination among all
classes in that city doubtless saved it
another smallpox epidemic this winter.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

The weather exerts a great influence
over both the human body and mind.
Bright days and crisp, frosty air braces
you up and sends you about with a
brisk step, a light heart, a four-inch
smile, and a general feeling of gladness
similar to that which strikes a boy
when he sees his first girl home from
church. You can even grasp the hand
of man who comes to sell you county
map, as though you were glad to see
him, and you feel that everybody you
know is your friend, not excepting the
man who cheated you in your last horse
trade.
Wet and mucky weather, and an east
wind that sends damp chills up and
down your spinal column, exerts very
different influence over you. In the
first place your liver gets su1ky and
don't want to make full time, and every
thing about the house seems to 60
wrong. The butchers meat is the
toughest you have had for a year and
the milk is four shades bluer than usual.
When your gentle and patient wife
tells you at breakfast not to forget to
bring home yard of glazed muslin,
ten to one if you don't get mad and in
quire in an expulsive tone Of voice if
she desires to " transform you into a
dry-goods delivery wagon
In truth, damp, soggy weather, such
as we have had much of, this winter,
makes the best natured people sour,
bilious, and fretful, and some become
SO respondent that they destroy them
selves. The present winter has been
prolific of suicides.
What a difference between January
of last year and the present month.
Then the ground was white with snow,
the air cold, crisp, and invigorating,
and people went about with bright
faces and glad smiles. During much Of
the past few weeks we have been going
through mud, and rain, and fog; and
then fog and rain, and mud for a
change. If you go across the street
you want an umbrella, a pair Of over
shoes, and gum coat. People pass
along the streets, with long faces, bill
ious expression, and cough. Business
to them is bore, and while last winter
they might have asked a map agent to
stay for dinner, now they would assas-
sinate him on the spot. In truth,
mankind is under a cloud in such
weather.

THE first number of the DeLdaCare
Democrat appeared on Saturday. 1t
succeeds the Georgetown Inquirer, and
is owned and edited by several gentle
men of means and leisure. In their
salutatory, the publishers express the
belief that G Georgetown needs "solid''
Democratic newspaper, and they pro-
pose to fill the want with the Democrat.
It seems to us that there is hardly room
in Georgetown for two papers, and as
the two there are both Democratic, they
could certainly do better work for the
party they claim to support, by consol-
idating. The first number of the new
paper is well filed with locals and edi-
torial matter, and its publishers prom
Use to enlarge it at an early day. A
new head would greatly improve its
appearance.

RICHARD II. DANA, JR., author,
lawyer, and politician, died at Rome,
Italy, on Saturday, Of pneumonia. His
best known literary work is ItUo Years
Before the Mast, the result Of a voyage
around Cape Horn in the brig "Pil-
grim, - in 1886. This work was great
success, passing through many editions,
and being reprinted in London, where
the British Admiralty adopted it for
distribution in the navy. 1t is probably
the most truthful account Of a. sailors
life at sea ever written, and few modern
books have been so widely read. Strange
to say, the author received but $3.50 for
the entire copyright. After the pub
lication Of this work, Mr.. Dana turned
his attention to law and politics. He
was considered a high authority on in
ternational law. He was appointed
minister to Great Britain by Grant,
but the appointment was not confirmed
by the Senate.

GUITEAU will probably know his
fate before the close Of another week.
Yesterday Mr.. Davidge began the OPEN

frequently interrupted by the assassin.
Just before adjournment an exciting
discussion occurred between counsel
over the +" closing speech the assassin
wants to make, and amid considerable
disorder, Occasioned by applause from
the audience and cries of &C order'' from
the bailiffs, Guiteau shouted 1.-THE
American people will read my speech,
and they are greater than this court.
The American people are trying this
case. If you undertake to put on the

puts the amount down to his experience
account and promises himself to keep
his eye Iopen for patent-medicine men
in the future, but he will be lucky if
he don't get caught again before a
year. There seems to be but one way
for country newspapers to avoid loss
from these sharks, and that is to re-
quire the cash in advance from every
foreign advertiser, save those of known
responsibility. Of course there are
some honest and reliable men engaged
in the patent-medicine trade, who keep
their promises with publishers to the
letter, and who are willing to pay a
fair price for the use of the columns of
the country paper, but they seem to be
growing mighty scarce.

AS A RULE, patent-medicine men
are more bother and of less profit to
country newspapers than any other
class of advertisers. They want the
best positions in the paper, even having
the cheek sometimes to ask a place in
the editorial columns, while their of
fers are seldom above half rates.
Again, there are not a few of them
that make contracts for year, promis-
ing to pay quarterly, and at the end Of
Az first quarter cody inform the pub

Literary Gossip.

THE leading illustrated article in the
Midwinter Holiday Century will be a
lively narrative Of the adventures Of
The Tile Club Ashore, . on the south
coast of Long Island. The paper will
be profusely illustrated by members of
the Club, whoss artistic recreations
were last recorded in the magazine
nearly two years ago.
Mr.. ROSWELL SMITH, publisher Of
the Century, recently performed gen
erous act, rare indeed in the annals of
business. He not only gave $1,000 in
Christmas gifts to those whom he en-
ploys, but distributed among the lead
ing members of his literary and busi-
ness staff $4,000 in Century stock, a
stock which is exceedingly valuable.

THE Baltimore Sun, which has long
been favorite newspaper in the homes
of the people of Maryland, Delaware
and Virginia, may not be classed among
the "live" journals Of the day, but
there is much in the manner Of its con-
duct that is worthy of warm praise. 1t
is reliable, it is clean, and it is conser-
vative. 1t avoids sensations, and scan
dals, and blackguardism. In this res
pect, at least, some Of its contempor-
aries might follow its example with
advantage to themselves and satisfac-
tion to their readers.

"a MARYLAND Tragedy.

Last Friday afternoon the mutilated
corpse Of Captain Casper Smith, Of the
scow, Shelldrake, was found in his
cabin, as the scow lay in the Baltimore
dock. The scow had come into the
dock in charge of'a deck-hand, who,
upon reaching the wharf, left the vessel,
but returned on Saturday and was OBJ
served searching about the scow's deck,
by Captain Dolan, of the barge Bal
ly,' lying near. After he went away
Captain Dolan' 'ssuspicions were aroused
by the deck-hand's strange actions
while on board tie scow, but the cabin
was not opened until the owner, John
S. Wilson, Of Havre de Grace, arrived,
in search Of the Shelldrake,' which,
he explained, had as a crew, Captain
Casper Smith and deck-hand named
Richard Moore. They had the schooner
towed around to the Chesapeake marine
railway, and after some difficulty broke
open the cabin, when sickening stencil
nearly oYerpowered them, and upon
further investigation the corpse Of Cap
tain Smith was found lying in the right
berth in pool of blood with a terrible
wound in the head, and the coroner be-
gan an investigation. The cabin was
in considerable disorder, and the corpse
was found lying on its right side
the bunk with a terrible wound
just below the left temple. Blood was
found in the cabin, on the companion
steps and deck above, while there was
comparatively little blood in the berth,
showing that the body had been dragged
from the deck (where the crime had ev-
identity been committed) into the cabin
and placed in the bunk. In the mean
time, the deck-hand, Moore, had re-
turned to Havre de Grace, where he
was arrested and taken to Baltimore.
The coroner's jury held him as the mur-
derer. Captain Smiths remains were
inferred on Sunday. He was much
thought of in HaYre de Grace.

We are warranted in largely
increasing our business for 1882.
We have made arrangements by
which we shall be able to mark
our goods at even closer prices
than in 1881. We will have a
larger stock, and our decorative
goods will be even more attrac-
tive than they have been. With
the continued increase of bust
ness, there is no increase in the
ratio of expense of carrying it
on, but on the contrary, the
greater business we do, the more
favorable prices we can make to
buyers.
