Smallpox is spreading in London, and the dread of vaccination is great among large numbers of people, especially among those most exposed Go risks of infection. An il- lustration of this state of feeling is afforded by the case of 8 man who, with several other persons, was summoned at ths Lambeth Po- lice court by the vaccination officer for the district of Camberwell for not complying with the terms of the Vaccination act. The defendant declined an offer made that the case should be adjourned for the purpose of giving him an opportunity of obeying the law. adding, '.I would sooner be burned at the stake" As the magistrate had no power to sentence him to be burned at the stake, he was simply fined POS. and the costs.

Some interesting researches have recently been made by the director of the bureau of statistics at Vienna, to determine the eompar- ative longevity of men and women and to ascertain the causes for any difference that might appear. He finds that out of 102, 631 individuals who have passed the age of 90 years, 60, 303 are women, while only 42, 52S are men. In Italy he finds 241 alleged csn- enarian women, and but Al men of that age. The fact that of children who reach the age of 10 years there are more females than males seems to be well established, and that the disproportion in number grows greater as the years of their life advance is equally certain. The number of male births exceeds the female by per cent.

In the Repub blican convention of 1876 at Cincinnati Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll nomi- mated MT. Blaine. In the course of his speech he said: Like an armed warrior, like plumed knight, James G. Blaine marched down the halls of the American congress and threw his shining lance full and fair against the brazen forehead of every assailant of his country and maligner of it's honor. For the Republican party to de,ert that gallant man is as though an army should desert their general upon the field of battle.

Baird, "with theGreenback party since it's formation. I have left it in disgust for more than one reason. I have left 1t on account of it's candidates not being acceptable to me, and on account of it's adoption of free-trade platform. I shall support MT. Blaine. He will have my most hearty wishes; for in my opinion, he is the most able and earnest Protectionist among public men in the United States"

Paper eofins are the latest. The Green | back party should have one. | The Richmond Whig calls the editor of the Baltimore Sun wretched, namsless fameless, shameless, brainless, featherlsss biped. Perhaps the Sun editor has leaning l towards independence. Henry Watterson says: Indeed, in the Democratic spirit there seems to be fatal perversity, which wilfully refuses to be just, and to see aright." Henry knows ths Demo cratic party pretty well. It is significant fact that the great Eng lish newspapers, with a single exception, are very anxious that James G. Blaine should not be elected president of the UHited States. We must try to please the Englishmen if we can
 If ss is said to be the case. Mr. Blaine is under contract to finish his history by Janu- ary 1, 1885, he will have his hands full. If it is finished by that time the quality of it may not be all as good as that of the first volume.
 The bishop of Lincoln, England, is cheer full and unpreiudiced old gentleman. He said recently that England has boeh punished by the Lord with bad harvests for the past few years, because some people have been trying to legalzs marriage with a deceased wife's sister

AFTER Texas has presented all her
statesmen and patriots to the considera-
ton of President Cleveland in the
makeup of his Cabinet the LIGHT,
though Republican, wishes TO add
word in favor Of gentleman, Il lawyer
and n Democrat, in the person of Gen.
Chas W. Blair, of Leavenworth, Kansas,
as suitable timber to place at the head
Of the Department Of the Interior. Gen.
Blair has already been mentioned in this
connection, notably by the Daily Tri-
bune, of Fort Scott, Kansas, and while
there can be no harm in making the
suggestion, 1t may not be known to the
general public just how much good ma
| terial there is in the ranks of the De-
mocracy. General Blair has been
an able and trusted leader OF
Kansas Democracy for the past de-
cade, and he has willingly led the for
lorn hope at all times aud under all cir
cumstances, because he is n representa-
tive Democrat, If there Is one in all this
broad land, and because he has the
ability, coupled with clean career ant
spotless reputation. Having spent the
best portion Of his life in Kansas, h,
would bring to the Interior Department
the practical knowledge and the expert
ence so greatly needed in that depart
ment for the proper settlement of thu
many interests it has to deal with
The LIGHT does not profess to have an.
influence in this matter, but when
Cabinet is TO be made up 1t is policy t.
get honesty, experience and ability, an,
these are Gen. Blair's qualifications Il
the highest degree.

TIM Austin Dispatch, u simon pure
straightout Republican paper, advocates
sensibly white mans Government, and
predicts that the party viii profit in the
future, by the recent defeat. The Dis
patch says: at is said that every evil
works It's own cure, and we believe that
Providence permitted the defeat of the
Republican party ut this time, that 1t
may be purified, and freed from its err
rors. If our country, to be freed from
the curse Of slavery, could endure four
years Of bloody war, the Republican
party to redeem itself can stand four
years of Democratic rule. Its defeat has
already strengthened it, especially in
the South. Carpet-bag adventures and
ignorant negroes no longer control the
party, and we now predict, that under
the management Of intelligent white
men the Republican party in the South
two years hence will poll larger vote
than 1t ever polled before. But for ne
gro suffrage the South would not be solid
for the Democracy to-day, and 1t would
not have had 10 additional electoral
votes, with which to defeat the Repub-
lean party. From this time forth the
negro ceases to cut the important figure
he did, in politics. Like white men he
must take care of HIMSELF

TIM people in every county it the
State should proceed at once to get up
petitions to the legislature for the repeal
of the unjust, unequal and oppressive oc-
oupation tax now levied and collected.
There is not u shadow of justice in this
odious tax. Nor is there the least
necessity for IT, It compels merchant
or grocer. with $500 capital, to pay as
much occupation tax as the merchant
with capital Of 100000; it compels the
lawyer, doctor. realestate broker, dentist
mechanic, etc, who is just starting, to
pay the same occupation tax which Is
paid by persons In an established bust
ness. The tax is upon the occupation,
and utterly regardless of the amount of
business that is done by those paying 1t.
The press of Texas should take up this
unjust law and discuss II freely, and in
sist upon its repeal by the legislature.

duotion as to make II an object of great
National concern. That the efforts of
the Government to deepen the wnter at
Galveston have been confessedly on

have, after an expenditure of upward of

and futile. BY comparison Of the cost,

cost of the Mississippi jetties, to show
that the amount asked by Eads is rea-

Deliberate Murder of an AuctiOneer

 MONTPELIER, Vt., Aug. 24.-One of the most deliberate murders ever committed in this State occurred here yesterday. Clark W.

Carr died in a few minutes. Sanders af- ter the shooting put his revolver in his pocket, walked out of the store and up the street. Workmen in an adjoining marble shop who heard the shooting out and captured him. The murderer said: T shot him and hope he is dead, as intended to kill him. Get your officer and do what you please with me- On the way to jail the prisoner said to the officer that he intended fo kill Carr. and had put three balls in him, hut Hid not know if he were dead. He asked inc officer to tell him if he had killed Carr. Saunders said he understood the penalty and ernected to be hanged The cause of the ahootin0 was jealousy The murdered man WAS abont sixty years old and did provision and auction business in town. He left no family. Sanders had one son about two months old. which he took away from home yesterday and placed with brother
