DIR. Menger's Report ON vaccinotion.

DIR. Menger, the city physician, has adj
dressed letter to the mayor, stating that he
intends collecting vaccina from vaccin-
ated children who enjoy the best ofhealth, and
to yaccinate with the humanized vaccina the
rest of the children and others who have not
been vaccinated or were not revaccinated
eight years ago.
He reports that he commenced vaccination
on December 10th, and has used quilts and
ivory points only, charged with bovine vac
Gina virus, ordered from Philadelphia and
Michigan. The major portion of persons vac
cinated were children from the public schools,
most of whom were vaccinated by him two
years ago. Nearly three-quarters of those
children had been vaccinated in infancy, but
he operated on all those who showed no good
scar or had not been vaccinated within six or
eight years. The total number Of children
and others vaccinated free of charge was $50,
for which aIo quilts, 90 vaccina ivory points,
and one bovine vaccina crust were used.
DIR. Menger makes the gratifying announce
ment that there is no case of smallpox in the
CITY or its vacinity, but says that several false
alarms have been made few days ago. In
our families eight children were affected with
fyaricella, harmless skin disease. In every
case the children had been yaccinated before.

Houston and San Antonio.

Houston is an enterprising city; we hellve,
from our observation, we can put Our hands up
on one Houston merchant who has more public
spirit, and has spent more money to advance
the public interests of Houston than all the
merchants of San Antonio have done or Of
fered to do to aid San Antonio. We can
name one man in Houston who has built, sim
ple-handed, more railroad that the whole city
of San Antonio has built or proposed to assist
in building. The consequence is that Hous-
ton, for its size, is far ahead of San Antonio in
enterprise. 1t has two neat opera houses; it
has fine hotel in the course of construction,
and nine or ten railroads centering there. Yet
Houston was lacking in some PARTICULARS
was an unpleasant city to sojourn in despite
the princely hospitality of its people. Well,
they have found out what was the matter with
Houston was the mud, and now the peo-
Pile of Houston are going to pave their streets
and already there is a boom in real estate in
Houston.
We despair of innoculating our citizens with
the enterprise shown by the Houstonians, but
if they will just initiate the example of Hous'
ton, and pave our streets, clean up our city,
improve and beautify our squares and parks,
San Antonio will boom and we will be able tc
boast of $4,000 people in less than five years
Mud, gentleman of the city council, has
driven away hundreds of thousands of dollars
from San Antonio, has driven away thousand:
of people, and is keeping them away to-day
Mud destroys the attractions of the place
Do away with the mud and we believe w
might forego railroad building, as capitalist
would build roads here from every point o
the compass.

The Man Who Got the Letter of Introduce
ton.

In our issue of the 24th inst, we reprinted
statement IN regard to the death of Mr.. John
P. Brown, published IN the Herald of Column
bia, Tennessee, in which very complimentary
mention was made of Captain Lee Hall and
very uncomplimentary mention of some gen.
teman not named, who failed to respond to
letter of introduction presented by Mrs Brown,
the wife of the deceased.
The name of the gentleman who was re-
ported to have acted so ungallantly and mean
y was inquired of on all hands, and now it
turns out that there has been gross injustice
done the gentleman thus mentioned. The
letter of introduction was to Mr.. Chas. Nash,
of the firm of Oothout & Nash, and the facts
are as follows:
An ordinary letter of introduction was left
at the office of Oothout & Nash for Mr.. Nash,
he being out at the time. Nothing was said
about MIR. Brown being dangerously sick, and
there was nothing about the letter or anything
said that attracted extra attention, in fact Mr..
Nash had received numerous such letters.
MIR. Brown and wife arrived on Friday, De-
cember goth, 1881, and registered at the Men
ger for supper; the letter was left at Mr.. Nash's
Office next day, the 5Ist, and MIR. Brown died
Sunday morning, January Ist, between two
| and four. clock, a. M; these are the exact
| facts.
Mr.. Nash had just returned Friday evening,
from Uvalde, and left Sunday morning fol
Boerne, entirely ignorant of the condition
of Mr.. Brown, and never received
any message from Mrs. B. after" the let
ter was left at the office, and if a message was
sent it was never delivered.
MIR. Nash did not sleep in his room on the
night it is asserted that message was sem
him, and he has not attended ball for more
than a year. In fact he was ignorant of hi:
being the guilty, mean wretch, he Is made
out to be, until he received a letter from Mr.
Oothout at New Orleans, relating the extent
of the erroneous charges and statements made
against HIM.
Mr.. Nash is the last man in the city to re
fuse helping hand TO a destitute lady. lii
feels very keenly the situation he has beef
placed in, by reasop of the publication, ant
frankly acknowledges that he is the victim o
circumstances entirely beyound his control
Mrs. Brown was in deep distress, and hat
Mr.. N. Tor his partner) known it, he woul'
have beenthe first to be at her side, but h
did not know it, and the poor woman's mes
sages evidently went estray.
We are glad to make this statement, as W
did not believe there was a man in our cit
capable of the conduct set forth in the articl
in the Columbia Herald.

Lnnmenf Aaninst TIE Blind Birdie.

We do not know who invented this
instrument Of horse torture, but we
know he did not understand the anat-
omy and physiology Of the eye Of a
horse. Human vision is binocular-
that is, we see the same objects nth
both eyes-and so adjust the axis Of
vision that the. object.appears single,
though seen with both eyes. But the
eyes Of the horse are placed on the
side Of the head and the axis Of each
eye is nearly;at.r right angles with the
longitudinal line of the body, SO that
it is impossible that the same object
can be distinctly seen with two eyes.
Now, by binding the eye'in the d.
rection in which il was intended in its
construction that il should see, it is
forced to use an oblique vision, as if
we should cover the front Of our opt
ice and be compelled 10 see only by
the corners of our eyes. This unnat-
tural and constrained use Of the eye
must, to a greater or less extent, i'm
pair vision, if not entirely destroy it.
The object for:which the blind bride
is used, is not accomplished by it. A
horse is more readily frightened when
he can not see the object of his dread
than if he can have a fair view of it.
But it is surprising to observe with
what tenacity men hold on to an alb
descended, and although in His sight
the best and purest are full of evil,
could not add to what she had already
sufered-His awful condemnati on.
The righteous wrath of God is not
vindictive and cruel. His warning
reproofs come to those who transgress
His laws, first in pain, in tears and
in suffering, as peace and happiness.
He makes the earthly rewards of those
who endeavor to do right Mary H.

A woman has to exercise a good
deal of selfdenial to take a husband.
While she remains single she has
sweet compliments showered upon her
by all her male acquaintance. These
cease after marriage. The men are
either afraid to continue their fstte-
ry, or have no longer desire to con.
tinue it, and her husband-well, man
and wife are one, and fellow would
be a ninny to be forever praising
himself. Il Boston Transcript.

A Poor RELATIoN.-Chas. Lamb:
A poor relation is the most irrelevant
thing in nature-a piece Of imperti-
nent correspondency; an odious APP
Proclamation; a haunting conscience;
a preposterous shadow, frightening in
the noontide of our prosperity; an
unwelcome remembrancer; a perpetu-
ally.recurring modification; a drain
on your purse, a more intolerant dun
on your pride; drawback upon sue
cess; rebuke to your rising; a stain
in your blood; a blot on your escutch-
con; rent in your garment; adeath's
head at your banquet; Agathocles'
pot; a Mordecai at your gate; Lag
arus at your door; lion in your path;
frog in your chamber; fly in your
ointment, a mote in your eye; a tri'
umph to your enemy; an apology ia
your friends; the one thing not need
full; the hail in harvest; the ounce Of
sour in a pound of sweet.

Ire Habit Of Saving.

Children who have a little money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys and girls Of TO day hardly
know a higher use for money that
comes into their hands than spending
Il for some foolish thing as quick as
possible. To such, lesson in self
denial and economy is very important.
As 90 the boys pennies and dimes, 80
very likely will go the mans dollars
and hundreds by and by. Without
having the spirit of a miser, the per-
son accustomed to save has more
pleasure in laying up than a spend
thrift ever knows.
The way to keep money is to earn il
fairly and honestly. Money so obtained
ispretty sure to abide with its possessOr.
But money that is inherited, or in any
way COMES without fair and just
equivalent, is almost certain to 60 as
easily as it came. The young man
who begins by saving a few dollars a
month, and thriftily increases his
store-every coin being representa-
ton Of good solid work, honestly and
manfully done stands better chance
to spend the last half of his life in af-
huence and comfort than he who, in
his haste to become rich, obtains
money by dashing speculation or the
devious means which abound in the
foggy region lying between fair deal
ing and actual fraud. Among the
wisest and most thrifty men of wealth
the current proverb is "money goes as
it comes" Let the young make a
note Of this, and see that their money
comes fairly, that it may long abide
with them.

STRANGE BLUNDERs.-The "patent
outsides" of some country papers are
frequently guilty Of astounding blum
ders, but probably the following, taken
from an Ohio paper of August 10,
1882, takes the palm;
"Gen. Garfield. a correspondent
notes, now receives hundreds of news
papers with articles marked referring
to him. He is gaining an experience
as an exchange reader, and all kinds Of
experience are needed as the head Of q
great nation"
"Gen. Gsribaldi's health has been
entirely restored by his residence on
the Genoese coast. He frequently
visits the villages along the shore in 8
canoe or small boat. His friends be-
lieve that he will live ten years longer
a least"

Perhaps the worst popular fallacy
with regard to newspapers is that
generally entertained that newspapers
ought to be printed and published in
the interest Of the cOmmunity-par-
ticularly the INDECENT of the commu-
atty. Churches, poorhouses, asylums
and all sorts of charitable enterprises
run to the newspapers for gratuities,
Just as a child runs 10 its mother for
help. Politicians, office-seekers and
scallawags generally, count on the UNI
paid support of newspapers. Now, a
newspaper, to be worth any thing as
business enterprise, shodld be print
ed in the interest of its proprietor
Just as much as a merchant should
run his business in his own interest
alone. This popular fallacy has beer
largely bred by the establishment O.
party and personal organs that live BY
begging for support and other news
paper mendicancy.
