A Corner in SMALLPOX.

There Is q physician In Washington,
d. c., who, at the moment of penning
these lines, is in badly demoralized
condition. He has been speculating in
smallpox and the deal has gone against
him. He has been toying with small
pox options, and has had TO put up tOp
many margins, so many. in fact, that he
Is now pretty thoroughly cleaned out,
financially, and the neighborhood In
which he resides is terror-stricken for
fear that he will go to practicing again.
To stoop from dizzy, high-hown
metaphor, and come down among the
barnyard fowls of rhetoric this Wash
ington doctor has lost six thousand dol
lars in the smallpox business. The
Washington doctor reasoned that for
the past three consecutive years the
United States had been singuary free
from any virulent visitations Of small
pox, and after figuring with some Wash
ington weather prophets, who occasional
ly have time to dabblc little with few
extraneous falsehoods outside OF their
regular profession, he made up his
mind that this winter would witness a
smallpox epidemic which would bore
pits into the arms Of the gnarled oaks
Of the forest like a red-headed wood
pecker.
The Washington doctor resolved to
corner it. So he drew his little six thou
sand dollars out of the bank, purchased
small farm up the Potomac. and stocked
the smallpox ranch with COWS and
| geese, the cows TO breed virus, and the
geese to grow quilts with which to can
it for family use All last season the
doctor was as busy as bee tapping his
COWS for virus, and plucking his geese
for quilts. He filled up his barn with
loaded quilts, and it was only when he
was down to his last one hundred dol
lars that he commenced to look around
for the visible supply Of smallpox.
But IL was not visible. To any alarm
ing extent smallpox had not reared It's
horrid front on the horizon of any COM
munity in the United States. On the
contrary, the various answers which he
has invariably received from local
Boards of Health with whom he has
communicated have all been in one
strain: mo smallpox in sight. Town
perfectly healthy"
Accordingly the Washington small
pox specialist begins to look down in
the mouth, his heart sinks like plum
met. and hope and his one hundred dol
lars are ebbing fast away. He
finds that he is on the wrong side Of the
market, that the smallpox has gone
back on him, and that, so far from be-
ing a regular visitor who can be de-
pended on to drop in at stated intervals.
IL is inclined to be variable and erratic
In its movements
II smallpox wave should eventual
ly sweep over the land, and any parties
are axious to go prospecting for virus,
we have no doubt that the Washington
doctor will willingly grub-stake them
and let them sink shafts all over his
farm on the Potomac flats. In the
meantime his new sign reads: "Going
out TO do days work taken in here. ~

Diplomacy, According to "MOnsleur." !"

The French Figaro publishes the fol-
lowing amusing incident, which Is said
to have taken place during one of the
state dinners at Berlin. and at which the
late Lord Beaconsiield and the Marquis
OF Salisbury were present:
Prince Bismarck, who Is well known
to be q great eater, filed his plate with
cherries the Marquis Of Salisbury OBJ
served il.
Prince" said he, suddenly, "what
you are doing is very unhealthy"
WHAT" said Prince Bismarck, in
astonishment.
"You have just swallowed two cher
ry-stones. "
"You are mistaken" said the Prince,
with marked coldness.
"Never.' replied Salisbury. with that
hauteur which characterises the proud
English aristocracy.
Monsieur le Marquisr said Bis
marck, his eyes shooting fire.
II was at this moment that Lord Bea-
nsiield came TO the rescue.
Perhaps, he insinuated, in his soft
est voice, "you are both right; your
Highness must be so occupied with Sc
rious thoughts that yor might mad
vertently have swallowed tiny stone"
"Twop interrupted Salisbury, in
decided tone.
"Or two," continued Lord Beacons-
field. as calmly as possible; "and you,
my dear Lord and colleague, enjoy such
good sight that nothing escapes you.
Now. Prince and Marquis, will you
allow me to decide this difficult ques-
tionP"
"Howp' murmured Bismarck.
"Your plate, Highness, II you please"
This last was in English, the corre-
spondent adding that Lord Beacons-
field was the only diplomatist at Berlin
who never talked French. The plate
was sent to Lord Beaconslield, who at
once emptied the contents on the table.
All eyes were now fixed on him. With
his long. bony, agile fingers, covered
with precious stones, lie began 10 ar
range what looked more like child's
game than an occupation worthy Of
such distinguished Minister. He put
all the stones in a line. and placed n
stem on each stone. Then. in that clear,
piercing voice that has so often moved
the House Of Commons, the English
Prime Minister began to count one. two.
three, and so on 70 forty-seyen stones
and likewise with the stems. till be had
countedforty-nine. The proof was there
two stones were wanting.
Bismarck rose and said. In an agitated
voice; Marquis. you are right" then,
turning. said In loud voice; "Lord
Beaconsdeld, you are a great man.

offense was about as follows: A week
ago, more or less, he broke open Il
trunk belonging to boarder named
Foley. and took thereflom two gold
rings of considerable value. When
the loss was discovered nothing was

give himself away. The rusc was
successful. Yesterday it was discoy-
cred that he had given one OF the
rings to Mollie Roy, II young woman
of thoroughbred African blood on
whom the gay waiter was sweet. The
other ring lie had soaked with Will
liam Morris for 50. This morning he
was taken before Judge E. NJ. Tower

fenced to Jail 80 days, and beside

Board of Trade.

The Livingston board of trade met
on Saturday evening i'll special session.
The first business considered was the
matter of town incorporation now
pending before the district court.
From information impaired to the
board by G. j. Douglas, it appears that
the chief error in the preliminary ar.
rangements under the statutes, as held
by Judge Coturn, is that no applica.
tion was made for incorporation; that
a notice was duly published that ap-
plication for an incorporating order
would be made to the court but that
such application was not actually
made in compliance with the law.
The committee having the matter in
charge was directed by the board to
prepare and have presented formal
application, though it would appear
from what the court is said to have
held on this point that the application
should have been filed with the clerk
of court Immediately after the pub
lished notice. and that it is now too
late to apply. In the hope that the
ruling of the court will not be held SO
strictly, the application will now be
presented. The question of the short
road or cutoff from Livingston to
Shields river was brought up. The COM
mittee who looked over the proposed
route reported that it would save at
least six miles of travel and might be
put in condition for freighting at an
expense of 300. Messrs. Love, Nor
ton, Miles, Donovan and Goughnour
were ppointed committee TO take
the matter in charge. Other business
of no public interest followed and the
board adjourned.
