There are two great scots among these

Charles Mitchell, the champion En-
gllsh slugger, was a passenger on the
east bound train yesterday morning. He
attracted a great deal Of attention at the
depot, and said that he is now on his way
east TO make a match with John L. Sui
Ivan for a bare handed contest for S10,-
900 a side, which sum Mitchell will put
up himself. He is said to be worth a
great deal Of money by those who know
him in England. His contest with Sulli-
van will be for the championship of the
United States, and will attract a great
deal of attention among the sporting ele-
ment Of both continents,

Philadelphia, dated june II, will be of

language Of our own, and we ma form
an American race as distinct from the
English or any European race. as the
Malay is distinct from the Hindoo. Then
we can find and describe the typical
American without difficulty. Now the

Vaccination.

The smallpox has appeared in New
York and in a number of other cities
north and west. 1t may reach Rich
Dond. There is no sign of it now.
We may not have case this winter,
but we have no just right to expect a
total exemption from it. As a wise
precaution the Board Of Health have
urged the City Council to appropriate
money enough to cause general vacci-
nation Of the people. 1t would seem
that city money could be invested in no
more judicious way. Better spend five,
ten, or even twenty thousand dollars
than to allow the dread disease to get a
lodgment in Richmond. Here truly an
ounce Of preventive is worth pound of
cure. The Board should never cease
their appeals to the Council until their
recommendations are adopted.

Since the death Of King Alfonso MI.
his widow has administered the affairs
of Spain, as the Queen-Regent Chris
tina. Her Cabinet consists Of able
men, who are generally Of the Liberal
type of politicians. There is no guar
antee in these characteristics, however,
of their personal loyalty to existing ar
rangements, and it is already rumored
that Sagasta. the Prime Minister, is
disposed to depose the present Regent
in favor of Isabella, ex-Queen, mother
of the late King. Whether this be the
case or not, the country is exposed to
the probability of outbreaks by Repub-
licans and Carlists, who are seeking
opportunities of insurrection not UNI
likely to occur in consequence Of the
Kings death, the uncertainty Of the
regency, and the long time which must
elapse before Alfonso's heiress will be
of age.
The leading danger, perhaps, is from
Don Carlos, who has caused Spain
