A Quarantine.

AT the last meeting of the Board OF
Health DR.. Bush introduced the ques.
tion of establishing d quarantine, and
said that they had the power to prevent
vessels from infected ports coming with
in one mile Of this city. The REPUB-
LICAN has on several occasions advocat-
ed this subject, and proposes to agitate
it until the people see the absolute
necessity OF its establishments, and ask
for it in such unmistakable terms that
the authorities will grant it without
hesitation.
A quarantine is an absolute necessity
at this time, but it seems like folly
to talk about the Port Physician attend.
ing to it, unless a salary is attached to
the office that will pay competent
man to fill it. To attend to the position
properly would take a mans who e
time, and as he must be physician, he
must necessarily abandon whatever
practice he may have, and it is certain
ly asking too much ofa man to do this
without adequate compensation.
The sooner this is attended to the
better, and if the Board of Health will
move in the matter and do something
practical at once they will receive the
support OF all good citizens. Cargoes of
rags, bones and other articles used in
the industrial establishments of this
city, are being shipped to this country
from ports infected with cholera and
yellow fever, and no precautions that
will prevent the Introduction of either
of these fatal diseases into this CITY
should be neglected for single day.

LeprOsy in wi scOMstn.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sentinel.

Prominent medical men, among them
number resident in this city, have IN
Vestlgated what at first was considered
merelya sensational ruinor, and have
discovered and noted with concern that
leprosy has gained fOothold in the
northwestern portion ofthe State, where
the Norwegian element preponderates
ana that its eradication will require
much effort. AS far as has been ascer-
tanned, the loathsome disease has con-
nned IT'S raVages among the Norw rgian
inhabitants, but its rapid spread has
been viewed with much alarm. A
prominent physician of Milwaukee said
yesterday: AS has been well known
Tor some time, there exists among the
Norwegian population of the State "a
large number of cases of leprosy. In
searching the records of the State, Board
OF Health ] cannot find that any effort
has as yet been made to stop its spread
or limit its introduction. AT the pre-
sent time there are four leprous centres
IN the United States, namely, Eastern
Minnesota and Northwestern Wiscon-
sin, am ng Norwegians California,
among the Chinese Louisiana, and
among the Indians of the Northwest.
That the disease is spreading among us,
and that, too, with comparative rapid.
lty, cannot for Il moment be doubted, |
and 1t would seem that the time has
come for legislation and national
action to prevent its further introduc-
hon and further spread"

PUBLICAN office and gave the follow

the ditficu ty that led S. b. Morrell tt

IN the hands of the proprietors of the
Arlington Mills, where lie had been EN-.
ployed until about week ago.
He says that about five years ago
both Morrell and Whalen were friends
and lived in the city of Baltimore. 1t
happened that both were leaving Balti-
more on the same train the same day
for little .aunt in the country, and
both by accident met at Camden station
in Baltimore, Whalen bound for
visit to the town of Guilford, in Howard
County, and Morrell for a camp meet

Both were bound for the same station,
When reached, Morrell proposed
to Whalen that he accompany him to
the camp meeting, an invitation which
Whalen accepted. There being no ac-
commodations for visitors at the camp
at night, Whalen proposed to hire
team to take Morrell to Guilford to stay
all night. Morrell proposed for both to 20
to the Relay House,a short distance off,
but Whalen for reasons of his own, be-
ing young and single man, insisted on
going to Guilford, and also because he
had not money enough along to pay
his way at Il large hotel.
Morrell says: Come on, I'll foot the

There are few probably who woul
not rather learn from the following lei
ter how it feels to be struck by lightnin
than run any risk by getting prac lea
lessons on the subject. The letter wa.
addressed to Curtis b. Wells, of Hart
ford, Conn, by Henry NJ. Burt, anC
published in the Courant of that city
A little after six o'clock Saturday
night | was IN my Office Gin the old
Summit House on Mount Washington J
and had just given directions TO Darby
about making up a form, when all at
once l felt a tremendous blow in the
back. | could not imagine at first
what caused 1t, but instantly thereafter
| saw a ball of fire as large as % mans
head directly in front of me, not three
feet of. 1t exploded with a tremendous
noise, seemingly as loud as a cannon,
and then knew what must have hap
pened. My left leg seemed TO be com
pletely paralyzed, and fell to the
floor.
Three of my printers were in the room
at the time, two sitting at the table near
me and one standing up little farther

hand torn up, another was hit in the
back and the third escaped without

startled and confOundei, but did not
lose consciousness.
The young man who could get out of
the office ran to the hotel, the Summit
House, and told what had happened. -
Help came immediately, and | was re.
moved to my room in the hotel and un-
dressed. Mr.. Strong, medical student
of Harvard, took my case in charge
and treated me with great skill. In
the course of two or three hours l could
begin to move my leg very little

self quite comfortable, though | cannot
walk without cane, and my leg pains
me considerably. l can assure you
that it was a narrow escape from in

go through another experience like it.
AS the storms are all, or most of them,
below the summit, we have very little |
fear OF being struck by lightning. In
fact for 30 years no one has been hurt |
or had such narrow escape from
death. 1t is an old saying that light
ming never strikes twice in the same
place, and l am sure l do not care to
have it,
We were all the more surprised from

which he was found guilty, and for
which he was sentenced to eight months

is general public holiday, there being
no business done whatever. With the
first streak OF daylight crowds of people
began pouring into the city from every
point of tine compass. Trains were
doubled up, and by 8 o'clock the main
streets were so full that it was difficult
to pass along the sidewalks. The Pres
ident rested well last night and was
ready by II o'clock this morning to
take his part in the exercises of the
day. The Presidential party left the
Gait House in carriages escorted by "a
body of police and local military, and
moved by the most direct route to the
exposition building. Their way was a
perfect ovation the entire distance, the
thousands ofp"ople yelling themselves
hoarse as their distinguished visitors
passed. The great main building, capa-
BILE of holding 20, 600 people, was filled
completely, and the crowd was too
thick for comfort. President DUPONT,
OF the Exposition, welcomed the Presi-
dent in a speech. President Arthur
responded, and concluded by
sta rting the vast machinery and pro.
no'lncing the exhibition open. The
