VACCINATIONS BENEFITS.

It seems strange that in civilized countries
 there can be found in this age of the world
 men who believe, or act as if they believe,
 that vaccination is more to be dreaded than
 smallpox. Yet such is the case, and the
 anti-vaecinationist are just now very busy
 in several places in their efforts to persuade
 their fellow beings to run the risk of dying
 by smallpox.
 The anti-vaccinationists have been very active in England lately, and Dr. Arthur Ransome, who read 8 paper at the recent Congress of the Sanitary Institute of Great
 Britain, showed plainly the folly, not to say wickedness of their work. Before Jenners discovery the annual ravages of smallpox in Europe were somewhere near half 8 million lives. The number of deaths from smallpox in England from 1881 to 1888 is stated at sixty eight per one million inhabitants. Ev- en in the great epidemic of 1871 and 1872 less than one in one thousand succumbed to the pestilence. For forty years before vac cination there used to die of smallpox 2,053 victims annually out of each million of the Swedish population; during the forty years afterward, out of each million of pop ulation, the smallpox deaths annually aver aged 15s. In Westphalia during the years 1776-80 the smallpox death-rate was 2,643; during the thirty five years 1916 50 it was l only IA. In Bohemia, Moravia and Aus l trian lSilesia, where formerly 1777-1s06 there died 4,O00 there now die 200. In Copenhagen the fatality of smallpox is but an eleventh of what it was; in Sweden, little
 over thirteenth; in Berlin and in large ! parts of Austria, but a twentieth; in West phalia, but twenty-ffth. In the last named instance there now die of smallpox
 but four persons, where formerly there died l hundred.
 Dr. Ransoms strongly asserts the value and necessity of revaccination, and he gives some very interesting facts to support his assertion. The case of Germany is particu- | 1arly instructive. In that country the Vac 1 cination act of 1874 was passed, requiring
 that t'every pupil at private or public | school must be vaccinated in the twelfth ! year of life, unless he has had ordinary small pox within the last five years, or has been ! successfully revaccinated." The result of | this enforced revaccination has been almost | to stamp out smallpox altogether In the German army not single death from small pox has taken place since the year 1874, while in the general population it has been reduced to two or three per one million per sons.
 Ignorance and prejudice cannot make much headway against such facts as these.

MORNING. NOVEMBER IA, 1885.

Hotel, had hired the entire first etage, and was dying for love of her. He asked her to be his wife, but wished that the marriage should be performed secretly and immedi- ately, because he feared that if his aristo- cratic kinsfolk in England gained any knowl- edge of his intentions they would move heav- en and earth to hinder the union. The young lady told the story to her employer, and Signor Alberti prudently enough went to the Grand Hotel, made inquiries and found that all the servants spoke of the gen. erosity and wealth of the English nobleman. He advised her to accept the splendid offer, and a day was fixed for the marriage. As the young lord did not turn up at the ap- pointed time, Signor Alberti and the lady went to the hotel to find him. They found him in a white cravat cleaning his masters books

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind ! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- troyed?
 AS s.all men are born Tree anu equa1, as lar as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parentS- this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is conceded question. To re- store it is an impOssibility, as long as people persist in immOr- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliorate this condition and cure disease in individuals.
 To this end we offer to the pulp lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results ill OyerthrOwing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infallible rem- edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, fsuch as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous PrOstratiOn, Depression | caused by OverWOrk, etc. These remedies are EeXtensive- ly prescribed by physicians, a recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie-

The faculty of the University of Vermont cannot fairly be accused of fostering the an- cient hostility between "town and gown" One of the professors is engaged in impor- tant business enterprises with other business men of Burlington. Another professor holds the office of city surveyor. Another is active in the Young Mems Christian association and other organizations of the city. Another ] is one of the leading physicians. Another college officer is superintendent of the city schools The president of the university, though burdened- by prolonged illness in his family, is always interested in the affairs of I the city, often member of important com I mittees of citizens, officially connected with l several public city institutions, and thor | oughly alive to everything that concerns the ! welfare of our people.

Britannia rules the wave, according to the song, but according to an English admiral Britannia's navy is in very bad way. He tells woful story of the condition of the Queens floating Actresses, even asserting that British commander would not dare to meet French squadron on equal terms. The boasted ocean greyhounds he sneers at as mere floating hotels, utterly unfit for the uses of war, and he draws dreadful picture of the famine which he predicts would follow hostilities with maritime power. It is, moreover, strongly hinted that the seamen of the navy are mere un- trained boys-a fact specially significant, he holds, since the merchant ships Of England and this is no less true of those of the United States-are at present manned by unreliable foreigners.

Life in Florida.

The native Florida Cracker keeps
up on salt pork. sweet potatoes, grits
Cprepared from corn), corn bread,
coffee, and for relish, sugar cane syr-
up; and he eats, if he can get it, fully
one-third more at meal than the la
boring man of the East, North or West.
The result of this gross living is an un-
healthy disposition of body, bloodless
face, and children the color of death
with unnatural appetites. 1 have seen
them chewing and eating clay, mud,
cement and other things, and it is not
uncommon for death to be caused from
such practices. Many are too poor to
live even as well as this. The pork not
imported is obtained from the ''razor-
back" hogs, which run almost wild in
the country, and are as big nuisance
as can be imagined. They are an infe-
rior breed descended, it is said, from
old Spanish suck, and are seen in
droves tearing through the woods,
breaking into plantations and doing
more damage to property than they are
worth. They have long gaunt bodies
with head like monster pike, and
each one bears on the ear the owner S
mark" which varies from fine
pointed star to peculiar slit. 1t would
be a good thing for everybody if the
legislature should pass law banishing
them altogether, or prohibiting them
being allowed to run at large.-COr.

THE CGIIDEST ON RECORD.

Fifty-five Degrees Below Zero in Winnipeg
so Degrees Below in saltwater, MINI.

ST. PAUL, January 2.-Last night and to-
day have been the coldest of the present
winter, and one of the coldest on record.
In this city the thermometer at the Signal
Office this morning registered 36s below,
while others showed temperature
of 500 below. The common class of
thermometers retired from business. Re-
ports have been received from the follow
ing points, the figures all indicating below
zero: Saltwater, 500, coldest ever known;

5Oo, wind blowing forty miles an hour;

ing; st. Vincent, 400; Moorhead, 4Se;

Western Union, early this morning, report
ed that only one wire could be used to
Chicago, and lines northwest could not be
worked until after 10 O'Clock. Inquiry
made of Signal Officer Lyons this evening
reveals the fact that last night was the
coldest on record, with the exception of
December %, 1879, when the mercury went
39o below. At midnight tonight the mer-
curry at st. Paul has risen a little above
zero, and light wind is blowing.

Illegal Use of the Word National"

WASHINGTON, January 2.-The heavy
penalty of $50 per day is imposed by Sec
tion 5243 of the National banking laws for
the unauthorized use of the word ''Nation-
al" as prefix for the name of any bank,
brokers' office or similar institution. This
has induced an attorney in this city to write
to the Department of Justice for employ
ment as special counsel. he agreeing to fur
nish information and prosecute cases under
this section, which he promises will net
the Government upward of $4,000. He
claims that certain money lending shops,
where borrowers are charged from one
to five per cent. month, use the
word "National" as a designation, and
that they come within the meaning of the
statute. The proprietors are, so he alleges,
good for the amount of the penalty.
The Attorney General has referred the
question of employment to Solicitor Neal,
of the Treasury Department, for an opinion,
for the reason that the law provides that
district Attorneys shall conduct such suits,
and the Comptroller might prevent the
payment of any one else. 1t is safe to say
that the Solicitor will not recommend the
employment of a special attorney to con-
duct suits against pawn brokers and shy
locks for using the word "National.'

thought he meant to leave the car, and
SO she slid into the seat he had just va
Gated. Soon he concluded the inter-

slide back into his seat again. The lit
tie woman saw the proportions of the
bulky form gradually assuming fright
full magnitude and very alarming proN-
unity. Quickly digging her elbow into
the ribs of her neighbor, whose head
and beard tooked like bundle of saff-

the jeopardy of her situation to induce
him to raise his colossal fist and ''fend

AN ILL-FATED FAMILY.
The Outline of a Body Drawn in Blood
Upon an Elevator at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILLS. January 1.-The body OF
Captain Andrew Green, of the exploded
tug Admiral, was found early this morn
ing about sixty feet from the lscene of the
accident. The right arm being imbedded
in the ice, kept the body af1oat. The left
leg was broken just below the knee, the
right cheek was mangled and the right
shoulder badly crushed. The body of the
fireman, William Bowen, which was re-
covered on Wednesday night, was thrown
the wall of Elevator D at
an elevation of seventy-f five feet
from the ground. The outline of the body
in blood was imprinted on the wall where
it struck. Careful search among the lum-
ber-piles in the vicinity was made for the
body of the missing engineer, and the
river was carefully dragged, but only
shreds of his clothing could be found.
The history of the Green family is sor-
rowful one. The father in the year 1865
had been in the country, and when return
train at West Chicago avenue.
He was encumbered with
basket of eggs, and, falling under the
wheels, was instantly killed. The follow
ing year son, Eugene Green, who was cap
tain of the tug Red Jacket, was blown up
with tt e tug at Clark street, while vessel
was being towed out. Beside Eugene, two
men were Killed. Eugene'S DOuy
was afterward found in the river.
Several years later Frank Green, another
son, was drowned with his crew of three.
He was captain of the tug S. G. R. Wat
son. While towing a boat out the
line was caught in some way and the tug
capsized at the mouth of the river. His
body was not found until two weeks later.
About the same time John Green, who was
also tugman, returned home one night
and died in short time with pneumonia,
II. IL l. g.

He went to the barn the morning after

His wife, after waiting longer than usual
for him to return to breakfast. went to the
stable to learn the cause of his delay. She
found him dead. He had been kicked to
death by one of his new horses.
