| The Protective Effect OF Vaccina-
London Times, December 9th.

London Times, December 9th.
DIR. Henry Tompkins, medical
superintedent of the Fever Hospital
belonging to the Royal Infirmary
at MOusall, in paper which he
read recently at Owens College,
said:
"The most striking of all evil
dence is, perhaps, that derived from
the smallpox hospitals themselves.
Here the protective influence of
vaccination is proved in manner
beyond all cavil. AT Hiehgate,
during an experience of forty years
no nurse or servant having been
revaccinated has ever contracted the
disease, and evidence of the same
character l can myself bring for
ward, for during the whole time that
| have had charge of the fever hos
pital more than thousand cases of
smallpox have passed under my
care, yet no servant, nurse, porter
or other person engaged there has,
after reVaccinatiOn, ever taken it
though exposed daily to infection
in its most concentrated form. One
woman, a laundresS, who escaped
vaccination, took the disease and
died; one nurse, who some years
before had suffered from smallpox
and was considered protected,
had a very mild attack and this
summer a workman, who did not
live on the premises, but came in
to work as a painter, was not vac
tack 4; and still more recently a
servant, who by an oversight was
allowed to go about her work three
days before being vaccinated, had,
before the latter had run its course,
light, shOrtive attack. Again,
among all the students who during
the past two years have attended
the hospital for clinical instruction,
not one has suffered, all having
revaccinated before being permitted
to enter the smallpox wards. And
in their case the false argument
which opponents of vaccination
have brought forward to explain
the immunity enjoyed by nurses
and other attendanceS on the sick,
viz that constant intercourse and
W iAllCNlAOlA lliOiiA
proof against it by the system be-
coming Injured to the poison, con-
not be applied, Is these gentlemen
attend the hospital only few hours
once a week. | defy the most en-
thusiastic or conscientious of anti
vaccinatOrs to bring evidence like
this on his side of the question, or
to bring forward even half a dozen
persons, choose them whence he
may, who have not been protected
against smallpox, and expose them
as the students are exposed, with
out more or less Of the number
taking the disease. Facts such as
these should convert the most ar
dent anti-vaccinator from his folly,
and convince him that weapon of
defense so powerful as vaccination
should not be left to the pleasure of
the individual, but that the State
has the right and duty to look after
its most thorough performance.

A Letter From GEN. J. ID. c. Atkins

Just as we thought, the language
attributed to our esteemed congress-
man, Gen. J. ID. G. Atkins, by a
republican Washington eorrespon-
dent, is a fabrication, as will be
shown by the following letter to
one of the editors of this paper,
which we take the liberty of pub
fishing:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. q, 1851
Il. j. Brooks, Esq.-My Dear
Sir: / am in receipt of your letter
of the 18th inst, inquirIng of me
if the language therein quoted as
having been used by me in an in
terview, to-wit: "That the demo-
cratic party seems doomed to defeat,
no matter what it attelnps p To
which i answer: No, neither in
word or sentiment.
/ had a conversation with gen
tleman in this city, which he, to
my surprise, published, purporting
to be an interview of my views and
which he fell far short in some
parts, while in other respects went
much beyond what L did say.
In speaking of the unhappy diff
ferences among Democrats in Ten
nessee, / did say that if the naked
issue of the state debt was again
thrust into the canvass and the
democracy divided upon it, as they
did, and as / feared they would
again, we would be doomed to
defeat. But that / had hopes that
! that issue might be presented in a
form which would admit of practi.
cal unity in our ranks, and then we
should be victorious.
| will add, | do not here under
| take to write a detailed statement
of my views, for they are well
known at home and in my district.
] Nor do | deem it necessary, before
the people of the eighth district,
who have heard my opinions too
often from my own lips to be de-
ceived by the publication of repub-
lican correspondents who have no
authority to proclaim my political
opinions.
And. although l have been at
| tackled, misrepresented and abused
! by papers protesting to be demo
/ cratic, both in and out of the state,
still / did not think it necessary to
rush into print to explain or deny
their misrepresentation. l have
never done SO before-although
often misrepresented.
One word more-I am not con-
scious of any change in my political
sentiments-stateO or natiOnal-since
/ left my constituency, and when
there is a change will be certain
to select a different medium OF
communication with the public
than republican correspondents.
l hope / have assured you ade-
| quately as L have endeavOred to do
so frankly. Yours truly,
J. d. C.. ATKINS.

Attack Uponthe supreme Courr.


The McMinnville New Era ed
tied by ID. F. Wallace, Chairman of
the Low Tax Committee, has the
following to say in regard TO our
Supreme court. No comments are
necessary; they are developing
their plans. Is there any spirit of
compromise or Cancellation here ex-
hibited:
alt was an insult to the people,
degrading to judicial character to
appoint a man like Ewing, whose
partisan opinions had been publish
ed hundred times in the press.
We hear of packed juries, Z by 3
courts, but when men are selected
whose opinions are known of all
men, IA so-called trial or judicial
hearing becomes Il mockery that
freemen are not bound to respect.
Judge Cooper reports incompetent,
yet it does seem that he was the
only man of the whole court that
| ought to sit in the case. He Il the
only one of the Judges who did not
( write partisan letters i'm favor OF
60-6 and 50-4. 1t is very serious
| question whether any man who has
written partisan letters to aid either
one sideiOr the other in n election, as
a Judge, to decide any question in
VOlVed in the contest. Judicial
action ought to be like C3esar's wife,
above suspicion. When it comes in
such questionable shape, it will not
be regarded or respected by peO
pie whose rights and liberties are
invaded or imperilled.
''Mr. Ewing'S announcement as
law that complainants must Away;
be ready, defendants only are ex-
pected to want delay, is novelty
unheard of in the history of courts. >

GATH, writing to the Cincinnati En-
quirer, recountinga visit to the District
of Columbia Jail, says: AS We stepped
down the iron stairs into the big area
of the prison, we saw al tile end of an
opposite corridor, rather in the base
ment of the Jail, a framed apparatus,
painted of a light green color, which
we at once recognized as the Gallows.
IF Guiteau is executed, said Warden
Croker, Il suppose he will be hanged
right there. We had an execution
some time ago, and put up the gallows
where it stands, and, as 1t is a clumsy
affair, we had no way to dispose of It,
so we have let it stand. 1t will prob
ably stand there till this case is disposed
Of We walked down and inspected
the gallows. The first thing you come
to is very high pair of steps going up
about twelve feet, with a side railing.
Then there is big drop in the mid
| die, suspended on strong hinges on
one side, and on the other side isa sort
of spring, or hinge-bolt, extending
about two inches under the trap. The
| spring moves by a cord which passes
into an adjacent cell window, the trap

here said Warden Croker, sent from
different parts of the country to hang
Guiteau with, their nooscs as carefully
adjusted as if some professional hang
man had sent them. Perhaps they
were men who served as executioner>
in the army ] asked if this was not
the gallows where a man was recently
hanged and his head had come off
leaving his body to drop on the ground
headless. Yes said Mr.. Croker, this
is the same gallows. The man exc
cuted looked to be big, substantial
fellow, but he had fatty degeneration
of the muscles and cords, and conse
quently his neck and head could not
sustain his body, and it came right
off,"

THE latest news from Bishop
Wightman indicates no special
change in his condition. He is still
very feeble, and is patiently wait
ing the pleasure of the Lord. In a
letter just received from one in
Charleston who has been much with
the Bishop during his long affiiction,
it is stated that when he was asked
if he should ever get up and be able
to preach again, what text he
thought he would take, he replied
1.-THE prayer of st. Paul for the
Thessalonians Il Thess. V. 23): And
the very God of peace sanctify you
wholly and pray God your whole
spirit, and soul, and body, be pre-
served blameless unto the coming

people, and may the God of peace

Southern Education.
Richmond State,

1t is impossible for the South un-
faded to educate all within her
borders. While she asks no eX-
emtion from all just obligations,
this duty of free education does not
rest on her exclusively. DR.. Sears
in 1879 said there were two millions
of children in the Southern States
without the means of instruction.
Increasing efficiency of systems is
daily furnishing additional means
and the latest reports of State
superintendent show a wide diff
ference between the number of edu.
cable children and those in actual
attendance at school.

A Wrong Idea.

Many persons having gotten the
wrong idea that hops are strength.
ening, have taken to drinking beer
and ale very freely. The cOnse-
quence is they feel better for a short
time, but when the reaction comes
they are much weaker than before.
Reader, if you value life, lay aside
all malt and alchoholic beverages
and put your trust in that temper
ance preparation of iron and vegeta-
BILE tonics called Browns Iron Bit
tiers. 1t gives real health and
strength to every part of the body,
refreshes the mind, and restores the
nervous system to its proper stan
dard. Over 100000 bottles have
been sold this year.

Secret of Good Manners.

The secret of good manners is to
forget ones own self altogether.
The people of really fine breeding
are the ones who never think OF
themselves but only of the pleasure
they can give others. No adOrnment
of beauty learning, oraccomplish-
ment, goes so far in its poWerto at
tract as the one gift of sympathy.
In all French history no woman
had a stronger fascination for who
ever came within her reach than
Madame Recamier. She was called
beautiful; but her portraits prove
that her beauty was not to be COM
pared with that of many less charm
ing women. And even when every
attraction of person had passed
away, and she was an old, old
woman, her sway over the hearts
of others was as powerful as ever.
What was her secret?
1t was only one thing solely
her genuine and unaffected interest
in the good and ill-fortunes of her
friends. Authors came to her and
read her their books painters came
to her with their pictures states
men with their projects. She was
sweet, simple and unconciOusly, "a
a rose is sweet. She really cared
for the happiness and success OF
others, and they felt the genuine
ness Of her sympathy. Itsurround-
ed her with an immortal charm.
Let any girl try Madame Raca-
mier's experiment. Let her go into
society thinking nothing of the adj
miratiOn she may win but every
thing Of the happiness she can con-
fer. 1t matters little whether her
face is beautiful, or her toilette
costly Before the end of three
months she will be happy girl
for the world likes sunshine and
sympathy and turns to them as the
flowers bask in the sun of June.
