VACCIN ALTON.


 It will not be at all surprising if small pox makes it's appearance in some of the New England cities this winter Indeed, there is already case or two in Springfield Massachusetts, which is not far from New Haven. Now the way for the people of New Haven, or any other place, to protect them selves against the small pox is to get vacci- mated. It is best to be on the safe side in this matter.
 The anti-vaccinationists of England and of Canada, and few of the same foolish tribe in this country, are doing what they can to prejudice the minds of the people against vaccination, but they have no good founda- tion for their efforts. The facts which show the immense benefits of vaccination are un- answerable. Take the case of Great Britain. In the last century the deaths from small pox averaged three thousand to million o f population annually. Jenner published his discovery in 179S. For the first forty years of this century vaccination was promoted by charitable societies, and the death rate was reduced to six hundred to million of popu- lation. In 1S41 Parliament gave funds for gratuitous vaccination, and this contin- ued to 1853, with an average death rate of three hundred and five to the million. In 1853 Parliament passed compulsory law, which, though there were no administrative means of enforcing it, reduced the mortality to two hundred and twenty-three to the mil lion. In 1871 law was passed for the ap- pointment of vaccination officers, and since that time the average death rate has been but one hundred and ffty-six to million.
 The anti-vaccinationists are long way be- hind the times. Every successive step to- ward more thorough vaccination has been followed by great reduction of the ravages of the disease.

GEORGE B, MCCLELLAN.

The unexpected death of General George B. Mcclellan removes man who has figured very prominently in the affairs of this coun- try, and especially in it's military affairs. After leaving West Point, where he was edu cated, he did good service in the Mexican war. Before he left the army in 1857 he had earned a good reputation as a scientific sol dier. He was a railroad manager from 1857 until the breaking out of the rebellion, when he was made major general of volunteers. He was successful at first as leader, and after the disastrous defeat of General Me Dowell at Bull Run was appointed command er-in-chief of the Army of the Potomac. He soon began the Ion to Richmond" movement, and in this movement his reputation as a military chieftain suffered greatly. 1t has always been claimed by his ardent supporters that his failure to achieve much in this movement was due to the failure ot the authorities at Washing ton to properly ''back him up." On the other hand, it and is asserted that he was too slow and scientific and did not ''force the fighting" as he ought to. Be this as it may, November 5, 1862, he was relieved from the command of the Army of the Poto- mac. This did not decrease his popularity, and two years later he was made the presi- dential candidate of the Democratic party He failed of election, resigned from the army and went with his family to Europe. He re- tained his hold on the affections of the Dem ocratic party and in 1877 was elected gov ernor of New Jersey. Since then he has had lit tie to do with public affairs.
 General Mcclellan was man of great abil- ity, and it is hard to tell why he was not | more successful. Several times he seemed about to do great things, but he did not dc
 them. There has always been feeling that | he was not fairly treated while at the head of
 the Army of the Potomac, but the country,
 whether justly or unjustly, got very tired ot | his management.

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 ''all men are born free and equal," as far 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 d conceded question. To re- store it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in i;ntnor- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease ill individuals. To this end we offer to the pub lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in OyerthrOwing disease than any others which have been ] discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIYE 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,
 such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
 Nervous PrOstratiOn, Depression
 caused by OverwOrk, etc. These remedies are sextensive-
 ly prescribed by physicians, g.

The Esthetic HIoimOt.


 The most striking example of aborative eff fort or at least bizarre form of decoration is found in the case of the motmot, South American bird, which succeeds in parallel ing some of the most absurd of humanity s decorative freaks, notably that one of some savage tribes which consists of filing the teeth to points. The motmot is by nature endowed with more than ordinary degree of beauty. The prevailing color of it's plum age is green, the wings and tail being tinged with beautiful shade of blue; a sable tuft, edged with blue, adorns it's breast, and a blue-edged black triangle surrounds the eye and extends to the ear. In addition to this and long and graceful tail, it has upon it's head a crest of which it can erect at will. But, as if dissatisfied with natures attempt to Deautify it, the motmot assays an improve ment It selects the two middle feathers of it's tail, those two being usually the longest and most conspicuous, the object of its decorative design. About an inch from the tip of each feather 1t cuts away with it's ser rated bill about an inch of the web on each side of the shaft, thus giving each feather the appearance of lawn tennis bat. Nor is this done in mechanical or instinctive way, fo1 sometimes two anxious motmot will begin two soon and before it's tail has reached its | full growth, and will clip away on the wrong feathers, thus disfguring itself even in mot | mot estimation in this respect being not un- 1 like the young males of the human family 1 who, rather than not shave at all, will some times use the razor on that much of the hail of the head as wanders down in front of the ears. It was formerly supposed that the motnot wore away the web from it's tail feathers by constantly turning around while sitting on its nest, and when Wanioa ex- plained the real reason for the condition of the feathers he was laughed at. Recently, ! however, captive birds have been seen to per l form the cutting operation.

The other day the annual "Lion" sermon was preached in one of the London churches.
 The origin of this service dates back to an adventure of lord mayor while travelling in eastern countries two and half centuries ago. The city dignitary while alone and un- armed was suddenly confronted by a furious lion, and, seeing no escape, he fell upon his knees in prayer. According to the legend the king of beasts thereupon, having taken a quiet survey of the worthy knight, turned and hastened away, leaving him unharmed, and in token of his deliverance he made be- quest for instituting this service, which has since been held yearly to this day.
