FORCED VACCINATION.

The Philadelphia board of health at its
next meeting will, on account of the
serious form the smallpox has assumed in
that city, consider the expediency of pro-

undue alarm in the minds of the citizens
on outsiders, but it realizes the necessity Of
looking the danger squarely in the face,
and ofproviding measures Of relief.

The VIII of the Diety.

1.-THE testimony of DIR. Gray" continued
the Court, was remarkable instance of
that fact"
"Yes, Your Honor" Guiteau chimed in,
"but DIR. Gray's statement was incom-
pletc"
On all this the question was whether the
idea of killing the President came to the
prisoner under delusion, or that it was
speculation of his own which the political
situation aided, and whether or not it was
not one of these yageries which the law
does not admit as an excuse for crime.
1t was difficult to determine the consist
ency of insane delusions but he had re-
ferrel to it as the evidence of the defense
had been put in on that broad gr ound as
the strongest proof Of the Defendants un-
soundness Of mind.
II had been argued with great force by
the counsel for the defense that many
things in the strange conduct of the pris-
Oner could not be accounted for except on
the ground of insanity.
But one question remained for them to
consider, no matter what the prisoners
singularity may have been, and that was
whether when this crime was committed he
was capable of knowing right from wrong,
or whether his meDtal faculties were dis
turbed by disease.
Deprayiiy Was Not Insanity,
and they must be careful not to take moral
peryersion for disease. 1t was important to
Investigate the moral as well as intellectual
side of aman, to show the full character
and show his entire condition.
A supposed fond father suddenly kills a
child. The question Of insanity instantly
arises, but on investigating the case it is
shown that the man had always been given
10 fits Of passion. IL was, therefore, proper
that the evidence showing the condition of
the man for many years previous should be
accepted.
The Court here drew a comparison be-
tween Guiteau's eheckered career, from
hypocrisy, religion, politics, visionary
schemes and, finally, crime, and man

ENGLISH AND FOREIGN soNG-BIRDs

ENGLISH AND FOREIGN SONG-BLRD4
The English birds are more domestic
and familiar than ours more directly
and intimately associated with man
not, as class, so withdrawn and lost in
the great void of the wild and unre-
claimed England is like a continent
concentrated-all the waste land, the
barren stretches, the wildernesses left
out. The birds are brought near to-
gether and near to man. Wood birds
here are house and garden birds there.
They find good pasturage and protection
everywhere. A land of parks, and gar
dens, and Indigenous, and game pre-
serves, and climate free from violent
extremes-what a stage for the birds,
and for enhancing the effect of their
songs How prolific they are, how
abundant! Ii our songsters were hunted
and trapped, by ird-fanciers and others,
as the lark, and gold-fnch, and mavis,
ETC., are in England, the race would
soon become extinct. Then, as rule,
it is probably true that the British birds,
as class, have more voice than ours
have, or certain qualities that make their
songs more striking and conspicuous,
such as greater vivacity and strength.
They are less bright in plumage, but
more animated in voice. They are not
so recently out of the woods, and their
strains have not that eIusiveness and
plaintiveness that ours have. They sing
with more confidence and copiousness,
and as if they, too, had been touched by
civilization.
Then they sing moro hours in the day,
and more days in the year. This is
owing to the milder and more equabie
climate. I heard the sky-lark singing
above the South Downs in October, ap-
parently with full spring fervor and de-
light. The wren, the robin and the
wood-lark sing throughout the winter,
and in midsummer there are perhaps
three times as many vocal Threats as
here. The heat and blaze of our midsum-
mer sun silence most of our birds. =
On the other hand, there are certain
aspects in which our songsters appear
to advantage. That they surpass the
European species in sweetness. tender
ness and melody have no doubt, and
that our hooking bird, in his native
haunts in the South, surpasses any bird
in the world in compass, variety and ex-
ecution is highly probable. That the to-
tai effect of his strain may be less winning
and persuasive than the nocturne of the
nightingale is the only question in my
mind about the relative merits of the
two songsters. Bring our birds together
as they are brought together in England,
all our shy wood birds-like the hermit
thrush, the yeery, the winter wren, the
water wagtail, the many warblers, the
greenlet, the solitary vireo, etc.-be-
come birds of the groves and orchards,
and there would be burst of song in
daed.-Joha Burroughs. in the Century.

uNREoUITED.

Few and low were the wordsI spoke;
Doubly brief was her cold reply;
Yet, in that one moment, mans heart
broke,
And the light went out from his eye.
In that one little moment of time,
The bright hopes of a life all paled;
A brave man knew he had dared the leap,
And proud man knew he had failed
Failed it's too often fatal word,
Fraught with spirits pain
For to fail in some of the ventures of life,
Is never to try them again.
The fowler hangs over the cliff,
Upheld by treacherous rope;
Should the frail thing break, or the strong
man blanch,
He is lost and beyond all hope.
So I set my hopes on a word
Cast shell on a treacherous sea
And the waves uprose and the shell sank

STAYING Off q Run.
But certainly to an end twill run,
In 1891.

In times of severe panic people have
been known to refuse Bank of England
notes and prefer local notes. In coun-
try districts of Scotland the old one
pound notes were greatly preferred to
sovereigns. 1t is said that when there
was a run upon the Bank of England
IN 1863 the device was resorted to of pay.
ing the country people in shillings and
sixpences. One acute Manchester firm
painted all their premises profusely, and
many dapper gentlemen were deferred
from approaching the counter. A story
is told of Cunliffe Brooks Bank. When
there was an lmpetuous and unreasoning
rush for gold, Mr.. Brook obtained o
number of sacks of meal, opened them
at the top, put good thick layer of
cloth upon the contents, then placed
them united where the glittering coins
would be manifest to all observers. One
bank procured number of people as
confederates, to whom they paid gold,
then slipped round again to back door
and refunded it, and thus the effect of a
stage army was produced. At another
bank the chief cashier himself examined
every note with the most searching scru-
tiny, holding it up to the light, testing
the signature, and making believe that,
on account Of alarm as to forgery, there
was need of the most scrupulous care.
When he had completed his pretended
examination he handed the note to one
of his subordinates very deliberately,
with, In slow and measured terms, "You
may pay it." Other plans were to pay
the money very languidly, counting it
twice over, so as to be sure the sum was
right, and to give sovereign short, SO
that the customer should complain, and
the counting have to be done over again.
At one of the banks peck measures in
verted were placed in the windows facing
the street, pile of gold upon the top,
after the maner of the fruit exposed for
sale at street corners in the summer.
At another the coin was heated in shov-
els over the fire in the parlor behind and
handed out as "new" at temperature
of 300o Fahrenheit. The clerk in
charge, accommodating his phraseology
to the occasion, cried out loudly every
half hour, ''Now, Jim, do be gettin' on
with them sovereigns folks is waitin'
for their money" Coming, sir, COM
ing," was the ready reply, and the
' folk" thought the supply boundless.
1t is always the supplemented and the
unimformed who constitute on such &C.
casons the chief portion of the throng,
just as the people who go to extremes are
the half educated ones. The crowd was
easily persuaded the proof that all was
right was burning their fngers.-Lon-
