the New York Tribune says: "Most
persons suppose tha, vaccination has
taken il only sore aop.ars where the
virus has heen deposited, although the
truth is that the sore dOss not necessa.
rily prove successful incubation. II
requires physician to tell from the
character Of the scah whether The vac
cinaiion has heen success. and ~ very
few persons tske the trouble TO consul,

doubtless, consider that they have oh

carse the process has resulted 10 an itch

to small-poy this is used as an argument
against vaccination which has actually
never taken placp-and it will thus be
seen that the statistics of anti-vaccina

EF The reasons for new trial in the
Guiteau case we're filed on the 28th ult
The principal matter Of fact alleged is
that the jurors, or some Of them, read
daily newspapers during the trial. The
strong point Of law is that The District
Court had no jurisdiction. because the
President died in another jurisdiction.
Some lawyers maintain there is some.
thing in this assignment. Judge Cox
will undoubtedly overrule the applica.
iion. and it will then 60 to the Supreme
Court of the District. Its decision, We
believe, is fnal.
