q, L. Griffin, of Fond du Lac, presidep.
of the State Board of Health, and who
has charge of the vaccine farm, says that
during the last two weeks shey have pro-
duced from sixty to seventy thousand
points, which have been distributed
throughoutthe Northwest where the small
pox excitement exists. These Wiscon
sin points are considered the most desir
able of any produced throughout the
country, and the Chicago Health De-
partment uses all of them it can get. All
the Wisconsin farm they have vaccinated
about one tHeuPan1 haifers since thev
commenced their work of production.
Two car loads of young heifers have Just
been brought in from New York state.
They now yaccinate three day, keeping
about twenty or thirty in the stable to be
used when needed. The most successful
operations are upon the Hght-haired heif-
ers, those dark in color always having
tough skins. From some animals a
thousand points are taken, while Others
produce none at all.

THE MATCHMAKING NAPOLEON.

Napoleon could be liberal for his own
sake to those who could help him, al
ways on the condition of their absolute
subverviency. Bat he appears to have
been almost destitute of real generosity
OF soul; he took a positive pleasure In
wounding sensitive natures, and he was
given to indulging in outbursts of bru-
tallity which sometimes passed from
rough language into actual violence. As
for that match making mania of his,
there are Two instances among many
which are strikingly suggestive. One
was his actually proposing, after the
divorce from Josephine, that she should
bestow her hand on the Prince of Wur-
temburg, who, having come to Paris on
political business, had been greatly tax
en- by the fascinating empress. Though
the proposal was certainly made, it could
scarcely have been serious; at all events,
the prince would have had reason to re-
pert the match, for Napoleon was in
love with Josephine to the last, and
proved his capricious love by his irri-
table Jealously.
In second instance to which we re-
fer, marriage was really brought of, in
a style that. reminds Us of the Eastern
seraglio or the guard room, and one of
tha x7roA
Davoust, Napoleon suddenly announc-
ed to his brother-in law, Gen. Leclerc,
that he Ueclerc) was appointed to the
command of the St. Domingo expedition
and must sail Immediately. Leclerc re-
monstrated against the hasty departure.
A secret tie bound him to France. He
had sister who would be left alone in
the world.
owe must have her married directly
| tomorrow, for example,"
bat have no fortune to give her. -
cam L not here! To morrow your sis
ter shall be married. I don't know ex-
actly to whom"
Shortly afterward Davoust entered to
inform Napoleon that he was about to
be married.
"To Nile. Leclrc? I find the match
very suitable"
"No General; with Mme.--
ITO Nile. Leclerc."
And Davoust was sent off to Nine.
Campain in search of his future bride.

PREPARING FOR ETERNITY.

Nashville Banner: On the Nolensville
Turnpike, about twelve or thirteen miles
from the city, lives an old gentleman
named Taylor. His family consists only
of himself and wife. Taylor is between
sixty and seventy years cid. His wife is
few years his junior. Recently the old
man has been In quire feeble nealtn, but
able to get about On the place with toler-
able alacrity. On account of the many
grave robberies which have been commit
ted in the vicinity, the old man had be-
come much concerned Of late regarding
the preservation of his body after the
spirit shall have passed from life to one
of eternity.
with the end in view of defeating such
OF the grave robbers who may have de-
signs upon his corporal frame, he has
lately conceived the idea of making his
own sarcophagus. He has selected a
place between two huge powders, and at
this writing has reached a depth of about
six feet. The sarcophagus is between 8
and feet wide and about 6 feet in
length. He has also placed around the
coffin several wagon loads of powders, to
be laid on the wooden easement, which
is to contain his mortal remains. This,
we believe, will effeetually prevent the
medical fraternity or their agents from
reaching his body.
