THE vaccination question will not down.
It reappears in one form or another at regu-
lar intervals, and its discussion grows more
virulent wherever smallpox finds lodge
ment. An English writer, A. r. Wallace, is
maintaining with considerable ingenuity the
anti-vaccination side of the controversy. He
asserts that the decrease In the death rate

was due not to IL but to improved sanitary
methods that resulted from agitation OF the

adduced argument in favor of vaccination
that greater mortality attends the unvsccina

unvaccinated than vaccinated. Itis fortunate

PoLITIcs has been responsible for many
a.curious addition to the English language,
some of which by frequent use have become
almost classical. Before 1880 at the famous
Dorsey banquet in New York, the term
"soap," as applicable to money used in elec-
tions, would never have been understood.
"Mugwump'' is not more than six months
old, yet it is as distinctive title as Demo-
crat or Republican. Then there are the terms
"gerrymander," "stalwart," "bulldoze," I"
estate" machine" and hosts of others, the
political meaning of which it would be vain
to seek for in the dictionary. All OF which
indicate that even the great wealth of the
English tongue cannot keep pace with the
subtleties of American politics.

In New York they nave law that makes
the theatres pay an annual sum into the hands
of the society for the reformation of juvenile
delinquents, for the repeal of which earnest
efforts are being directed. 1t is clearly based
on the idea that theatres are sources of evil.
Is it not nearly time that this absurd relic of
ancient bigotry be consigned to merited OBJ
livion? Is it to be believed that the art of
which Henry Irving and Edwin Booth are
famous modern expositors, and in
which greater than they in times ) past
have shone is so harmful as to need legisla-
tive repression in the shape of an odious tax ?
True it 10 that INSCRIPTIONS theatrical mana

plays, but to condemn all indiscriminately
because of the few that are evil, would be
illogical as well ashnjust The stage could

come so long as legislators see fit in their
stupid solicitude to load it with taxes, the
very imposition of which is stigma ON its

Mr.. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL has made a
few mistakes in his diplomatic career at the
court of st James, but they will be cheer
fully pardoned him after the hearty and con-
elusive style Of his rebuke to a prominent
London journal that spoke in belittling
manner OF his successor, Edward ]. Phelps.
The I'du Mall Gazette, i'm that inconsiderate
way that marks the conduct of so many re-
sponsible newspapers, took up the popular
idea and ridiculed Mr. Phelps as an unk nown
Vermont lawyer, observation-disclosures served
only to place Mr.. Lowell's genius in clearer
relief The retiring minister at once wrote a
letter to the editor that is mastery in its re-
buke and vindication OF President Cleve-
lands choice: "None but a distinguished
and agreeable man could have been chosen
president of the American Bar association
none but an able and accomplished lawyer
could have been called to professorship at
Yale college. Mr.. Phelps is man of high
character, Of marked independence. and OF
the most agreeable social qualities. A change
of ministers was unavoidable, and both coun-
tries are to be congratulated on the wisdom
OF Mr. Cleveland's choice" Thus does the
tongue OF calumny unwittingly bring fresh
laurels to the object of It's attack.

The Chinese Infantry Soldier.

The economical habits OF the
Heather Chinee are notorious, and
they are well illustrated by CORE
spondent who, writing from Tien-Tsin,
says: ''The Chinese infantry soldier is
paid once a month, when he receives
81 taels of silver. This sum, which IS
equal to about $40, is given to him
in scrap bullion; and during the night
preceding each pay day the paymas-
ters are busily engaged in weighing
out silver and making it up into neat
little packages for distribution. AS
soon as he has obtained his share. the
soldier takes it to the nearest shop
keeper or money-changer, who, in re-
turn for 1t, hands him $500 copper
cash, the aggregate weight of which
is quite as much as he can convenient
~ carry. Out of this the soldier has
to keep himself in food and clothing;
and the pay can, not, therefore, be
called excessive. A Chinaman, how
ever, lives almost exclusively upon
rice, a months supply of which costs
less than 1000 cash, and many pri-
vate not only supports family upon
the balance of his earnings, but puts
by few hundred cash every month.

The Thanks of Congress.

Since the Government has been or
ganized there have been only thirty
four people named in resolutions OF
thanks by Congress. With three ex-
ceptions this honor has only been
paid to officers for great gallantry in
action during the war. The three ex-
ceptions were those of Capt. Ingraham,
Capt. Ringgold and Capt. Dahlgren.
In the first case, Capt. Ingraham clear
ed his ship for action and rescued at
the lannon's mouth an American cit
izen by the name of Martin Roszia
from illegal seizure and imprisonment
on board the Austrian war brig Hussar;
Capt. Ringgold was honored for his
daring and skill in rescueing the crew
of the steam transport Governor,
wrecked in a gale on the LIST Of No.
vember, 1861, having on board a bat
TALON of United States marines, and
also for the search and rescue of the
battle-ship Vermont, which was dis
abled in gale or the Doth of Feb
ruary, 1864. The third, Capt. Dahl
gren, was thanked for his improve
ments in gunnery. This honor gives
the recipient the right of admission to
the floors Of Congress at any and all
times. st. Loatss Globe Democrat.

Home Of the Cardiff Giants.

The city of Moberly, Mo-, is stirred
up over wonderful buried city, which
was discovered at the bottom of a coal
shaft $50 feet deep, which was being
sunk near Moberly. A hard and thick
stratum of lava arches in the buried
city, the streets of which are regularly
laid out and inclosed by walls OF stone,
which is cut and dressed in fairly
good, although rude, style of masonry.
A hall 30x1O0 feet was discovered,
wherein were stone benches and tools
of all descriptions for mechanical serv-
ice. Further search disclosed statues
and images made of composition
closely resembling broaze, lacking
luster.
A stone fountain was found in a
wide court or street, and from it
stream of perfectly pure water was
flowing, which, upon being tasted, was
found to be strongly impregnated with
lime. Lying beside the fountain were
portions of the skeleton of human
being. The bones of the leg measured,
the femur four and one-half feet, and
the tibia four feet and three inches,
showing that when alive the figure
was three tunes the size OF an ordinary
man, and possessed OF wonderful mus
cular power and quickness. The head
bones had separated in two places, the
sagittal and the coronal suture having
been destroyed. The implements found
embrace bronze and flint knives, stone
and granite hammers, metallic saws of
rude workmanship but proved metal,
and others OF similar character. They
are not SO highly polished nor so &C
curately made as those now finished
by our best mechanics, but they show
skill and an evidence Of an advanced
civilization,
The searching party spent twelve
hours in the depths, and only gave up
explorations because Of the oil in their
lamps being low. These facts are
vollched for by Mr.. David Coates. the
recorder Of the city of Moberly, and
Mr.. George Heating, city marshal,
who were of the exploring party. A
further extended search will be made
in day or two.-New York Sun.

senate that they succeeded In get
ting the prohibitory legislation asked
for. Gen. Dow was not pleased with
the measures that were passed. There
were not teeth enough in them to suit
him, and yet they increase the penal
ties for liquor selling, making it i'm
prisonment as well as fine for the
first offense. Then if a man who is
drunk is arrested and given term of
imprisonment he can be released if he
will only disclose where he got
his liquor. The s'dump." or shopper"
or. any continuance which the rum
seller uses to destroy his liquors is evil
dence of Illicit sales and can be used
against him. Even the watchmen who
stand at the door to give warning at
the approach of officers can be ar
rested as partners in the crime of rum
selling. Drumming for liquors is pro-
hibited, and so is the advertising of
liquors in the newspapers. Still Gen.
Dow is not satisfied with this legisla-
ton, and as one of the results he has
cut himself adrift from the republican
party, through whose agency alone
prohibition has become the fixed policy
of the state.
Gen. Dow and Mr.. Munson are de-
termined to make hot work OF it in
their present crusade, of crushing out
the traffic before the national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public takes place here next June,
which it is estimated will bring here
fifty thousand people from ali over
the country. The Law and Order
league in waging their battle are u.s.
ing all the weapons of procedure they
can to annihilate rumselllng. Mr..
Munson is willing to sacrifice his life
in the conflict. He was characterized
few days ago IN the courtroom as an
ecclesiastical crank" but, whether
he is or not it Is evident that he is 90
ing to fight the battle to the bitter end
and let the taxpayers pay the bills.
Last September the people Of Maine,
without regard to party, settled the
question of constitutional prohibition,
but this does not signify that prohlbi-
ton is success. On the contrary,
the liquor prosecutions of the past, as
well as those now instigated by the
Law and Order league, are Intellectual
in stopping the traffic and in making
saints of our people. 1t certainly
looks as if prohibition does not and
will not prohibit in Maine. Portland
