being about the only elaborate recep-
tion given in the city the rooms were
thronged with visitors during the en-
tire sesnce. which lasted till nearly s
o'clock. The entire affair was excel
lently managed from beginning to
end, and the boxing bout with soft
gloves, with which the festivities ter
minated, In no way detracted from
the pleasure of the evening. Things
were zen regle" and admission was
only by card. Jack Ford, in all the
splendor of dress suit, with white tie
and gloves, ofiiciated at the door, and
in a faultless manner announced the
guests to the fair hostesses who did
the honors within. or late years the
etiquette of New York calls has per-
mitted considerable latitude In the
way Of calling cards, but we question
IL in any instance on record the va
riety here displayed has been exceed

from the faultless bit of bristol board
inscribed in elegant chirography to
the top of a dry goods box lettered
with a marking brush, appeared In
the conglomerate pile that grew In
proportion as the reception progressed.
Many happy conceits were elaborated
in this line, but few can be mentioned.

DR.. Alban S. Payne can justly claim
priority over NJ. Pasteur in the treat
ment of diseases by incubation. 1t
has been his custom for years to vacci-
nate smallpox patients after the initial
fever sets in. The engrafting Of the
vaccine matter upon the primary vario-
lus fever, he claims, destroys entirely
its ability Of reproduction or propaga-
ton. Here is an extract from a lee
ture published in the spring Of 1873
"Let us suppose house, located in
the middle of a large prairie, and we
see the grass burning at distance, but
the flames bending straight in the direc-
ton Of the house. Would it not be
the most sensible thing we could do to
fight fire with fire, and. starting
counter fire. burn the grass around the
house, so that when the approaching
flames reached the grass burnt over
the fire would have to stop for the
want Of combustible material, and save
the house? This is just what | pro-
pose to do in treating smallpox. |
would recommend isolation and giving
the smallpox to all near by and likely
TO be exposed to its direful influences.
Visit the parties twice day, and as
soon as the fever of inception is recog-
nized vaccinate them, and the disease
must stop for the want Of material to
feed upon"
Shortly after the publication Of the
lecture or paper from which we quote
DR.. Willard Parker, of New York,
wrote TO DR.. Payne as follows:
"You have established some i'm
portant facts. Without waiting for the
fever, / have yaccinated those found in
the same room and on the same bed
with smallpox patients. My VAGINA
tions succeeded, and | had no show of
smallpox at ALL"
The theory which NJ. Pasteur has
applied to the rabies is the same as
that practiced by DIR. Payne in small
poX. If there is any merit in the
treatment the Frenchman cannot lay
claim to great originality. DR.. Payne
has long been known to the readers of
the Turf, Field, and Farm as NichO-
las Spicer." His home is in Virginia.
The mad-dog scare seems to be
abating. The New York Times, Tri-
buHe, and other journals Of poise have
labored to check the Heraids flood of
sensation, and rejecting men like ex-
Governor John 7. Hoffman and Hen
~ Bergh have published cards
pointing out how little danger is
run by every community from n.y.
drophobis, and asking that dogs shall
not cease to be treated with common hui
mainly. These expressions Of opinion
have restored confidence in wavering
minds, and the senseless scare promises
to die away. As Pasteur and a good
many others connected with the sensa-
ton have been sufficiently advertised,
it is time to stop magnifying trihes and
coming stories to fill timid hearts With
terror. The citizen who goes about
his regular business is in no more dam
ger Of being struck by lightning than
he is Of being bitten by mad.dog.

Colonization OF Alaska by COuyicts,
Again.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
After thanking you for your kind
ness in giving the public my late lucu-
brations on the subject of the colonial
ton Of Alaska by convicts, wish to
add further that | always comprehend
ed the fact that Virginia, and in fact
that no other State, had the slightest
jurisdiction over Alaska; that coloni-
zation was a Federal matter | fully I'M
derstood. Making the conyict-labor
question so much a State matter is
just what has kept the question
so long unsettled. When it is made
State matter the whole question is
at once resolved into whether mud
hole shall be filled on the Scuiiietown
road, or whether ditch shall be dug
on the Scrubtown pike? And straight
way the Hon. Mr.. Jones's seat in the
State Legislature is jeopardized, and
Mr.. Jones might just as well have
voted for "a dog-law " so far as his
chances for reelection ere concerned.
From the very fact that it is Federal
matter / consider my proposition all
the stronger. In my judgment the con.
yict-labor question is as much national
matter, as is the monetary problem.
am aware that there is no strength in
laws on convict labor enacted by the
States separately. Unity Of action Of
all the States is what is desired. Ma
tional matter as it is, it brings to its con-
sideration the united efforts Of all the
labor organizations of all the States Of
the Union. With such backing it could
20 before Congress, where the matter
really belongs, with chances of success.
Several bills on convict labor are now
before our State Legislature but
''what Is one mans meat is
another mans poison" \ law that
might be passed beneficial to Virginia
might not prove equally applicable to
another State; consequently there can
be no united effort or concentration OF
the wisdom of all the States on the sub
ject. But suppose some powerful labor
organization, with its lodges and as
semblies, should draw up preamble
and resolutions, national IN their charac-
ter, setting forth the facts in the case,
and, too. at the same time, the remedy;
suppose they should put it in the shape
Of a memorial to the various leglsla-
lures to memorable the Congress Of
the United States to use Alaska for the
purposes Of a peal colony suppose
each of the legislatures memoriaiized
Congress to that effect, with the sane
ton Of the labor organizations
would not this be at least a be-
ginning in the matter Of settling
the conyict-labor question: And
would not such united and nationa
action bring about speedier and better
legislation than each Legislature acting
by itself, for itself, and, as experience
shows, wasting most Of their time in
discussing and QuarrelliDg over imprac-
teal local schemes Of temporary internal
improvements lcross-roads) by conyicts
that would never prove satisfactory.
but, on the contrary, would be cumber-
some and expensive?
In conclusion, my proposition in
nutshell is for some Influential 6ody to
ask the Legislature Of Virginia, by way |
of initiating the movement, to memo
rialize Congress to make Alaska
penal colony. ID.

what Shall We DO with the Convieis ;

me EuNOF ~ INC DtSputCH
The present system Of hiring them out
meets with general-almost UNIVERSAL
condemnation. The measures proposed
in The General Assembly thus far are
no Improvement on the present system.
There is no more reason for hiring
a convict to railway companies than to
other corporations or individuals. tits
as much a wrong to employ him where
he will displace an honest laborer as to
employ him where he displaces a shoe
maker or barrel-maker.
He should be employed at "hard
labor" for so his sentence reads. He
should be employed in labor for the
Commonwealth. He should be em-
ploy ed where his labor will conflict as
little. as possible with the interests Of
honest men. How can it be done
The growing sentiment Of our country
indicates that it is only matter Of lime
when all railways, canals, tcll.roads,
tclegraph-liass, etc., viii be owned and
run by the State.
Let this good tine be anticipated.

tho public treasury eatiyely moro than the
moderate Incomes. Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain, the leader Of the English radicals
strongly urges a graduated income tan In
Great Britain.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch
There are very many persons, both
in this country and in Europe, whose
incomes are SO vast that, after satisfying
every reasonable wish that heart can
desire and living in the enjoyment Of
every luxury that money can procure,
there still remains large sums to be in
vested and to add by their accumula-
ton Of interest to the almost fabulous
wealth Of tE:ir owners.
IL lie majority Of cases these great
fortunes are not made by those who
own them. They are not, a. rule,
the result of the skill, the ENTERPRISE,
or the inventive genius Of their posses
sors, but arc acquired by inheritance.
They are examples Of the wonderful
accumulation of money at compound in
terest in civilized communities, where
property is protected and transmitted
from generation to generation.
These colossal fortunes are a great
injury to society. When they are in
vested in land they 80 on adding acre to
acre to the broad domain already
acquired, shutting out every hope OF
obtaining a home from men of moderate
means, and making tenants and yassals
of whole communities. If they are in
vested in stocks and securities they give
their owners power TO corner the
markets and cause disastrous tluctua-
tons in the price Of the necessaries Of
life.
How shall this evil be checked How
shall the brakes be put on these cars Of
wealth, which go rolling on from
year to year with accelerated momen.
rum The only just and proper way
seems to be by an increased percentage
Of taxation on these enormous incomes.
The law gives and it can take away. 1t
can say to these proud wayes Of wealth,
Thus far shalt thou come and no
farther"
Is it not right and just that the pos
SCISSOR of millions, Of more income than
he can possibly spend in any reasonable
manner, should contribute proportion
ately more to the support Of the Gov
eminent that protects his vast proper
ty and gives security to his wealth
than the poor labOrer, whose life of
ceaseless toll barely sutlices to keep the
wolf from the door? y.

I venture to affirm that no mother, nor

Let me conclude by saying to the
