TRIPPED? OR TRAPPED? WHICH
is 1T?

EDITOR BULLETIN who
remembers winter life in New Eng
land towns, will remember how when
the snow had fallen and ice had
formed, the small boys would slide
along ON some place on the side
walk, till they had made it excep-
tionally smooth and slippery. Then,
with the beedlessness of boys, who
thought only of their fun, they
would sprinkle clean snow over the
place, and watch people slip and
fall.
The dignified clergyman, the
seurrying GRAND boy, the giggling
school girl, would suspect no peril,
till their feet tottered from under
them and down they would go. The
fun would be spoiled, however, when
the burly policeman sprinkled ashes
on the spot.
Another famous winter sport for
New England boys was setting the
figure-of-four trap, If anyone
notices the figure A, it will be seen
that by swinging horizontal piece
of wood ON an upright one, and put
ting wedge like the slanting line OF
A, between the horizontal and up
right pieces, then weighing the

A Merry WOMAN.

Miss Mary Graybiel, one of the
Missionaries sustained in India by
the sect known as Disciples, writes
very interesting letters to her family
in this city. 1t is now over five
years since she went to Hindostan,
in company with the Rev. Mr..
Wharton, formerly pastor of the
Church of Christ, and his wife. The
place at which Miss Graybiel is now
located is in the heart of India, on
the line of the railroad which is to
be built from Bombay directly
across TO Calcutta.
The children of the Sunday
Schools of the denomination in the
United States contributed fund of
some 81, 900 with which to erect a
house for this mission, and in her
last letter she modestly tells how the
work was done. 1t appears that
she had To serve as architect, mas
ter-builder, and general boss me-

of buffaloes to do the teaming

scarce in that part of the country.

A DISCOVERED CASE OF SMALLPOX.

When the BULLETIN was being
printed yesterday afternoon word
was received of case of small pox
having been discovered on board the
brigantine w. G.. Irwin, which
vessel, as stated in yesterdays paper,
had been discharging her freight at
the O. S. S. CO. s wharf. On dis
covery of the case, the tug Eleu
came and towed the Irwin into the
stream, taking besides the Captain,
passengers and sailors of the vessel,
all of the 'long-shore" men who
had been assisting in the discharg-
ing of the brig. The long-shore
men were released after being thor
oughly fumigated, while the officers
and sailors were placed in quaran-
tine on the EVA side of the bay.

A STORY or LINCOLN.
HOW A VERMONT BOY WAS RE-
LEASED.

General Charles l.. Williams, an
intimate friend of President Lincoln,
noticed woman go by his office
window, day after day, her shabby
dress getting more shabby, her
sweet, refined face more sad and
worn, her step more weary, her
looks more responding, until his
good heart was touched, and he
made inquiries to learn who she
was. His friend said: "Why, Cen
eneral, she is Mrs, Wadsworth
from Vermont. She has boy in
the army, q little fellow of thirteen,
who ran away to join. He is now
across the river, on the Potomac.
She has lost two sons in the battle
of Bull Run, and this boy is her last.
She is poor widow, and she is try
ing to get the boy discharged. She
went to the Secretary, but he stuck
his thumbs in his vest arm-holes and
remarked: =
Madam, Pm glad we have him.
That's just what boys are good for!'
She has given it up and is going
home in despair"
'No! by the gods she is not 60
ing home in despair!" exclaimed
General Williams. sBring her to
my Office, l will authenticate her
story, and will place it before the
President myself"
General Williams went to the
White House and told the story to
Mr.. Lincoln. That strange, homely
face, full of grief and humor, pathos
and fun, steadfastness, will, pa
thence, sweetness face unlike
that of any man who has graced the
world with so great spirit before
or since-so ftened and grew tender
as n mothers. Without o word he
signed an order for the child's dis
charge, and then said, simply
Bring them to me"
That evening, when the boy had
been brought to Washington, cloth
ed in citizens dress and united with
his mother, General Williams ac-
companied them to the Executive
Mansion. Failing on her knees al
sight of Mr.. Lincoln, the poor
widow would have bathed his feet
with her grateful tears, but he
gently raised her to her feet, saying +:
Madam, kneel only to your God.
You have right to your boy! You
have given two sons to your coun-
try? Take your youngest back to
your heart. Have you any money,
madam, to go home with ?"
81 have enough to take me to
New York." she uttered falteringly.
"There, l think friends will help
me-"
"No-herel" and he pressed Q

for you, you runaway youngster!"
he said cheerfully, Ego home and

THE VALUE OF Oil,

The value of 5,431 gallons of oil
is, according to last evenings
BULLETIN, S6O,325.60. Men posted
on the value of sperm oil said the
reporter was drunk. The reporter
went to the Custom House this
morning to take another look at the
outward manifest of the Discovery.
And 500, 325.60 we're plainly enough
written as the transhipped value of
5,43l gallons of sperm oil. One of
the Custom House clerks was asked
if the exact valuation of the oil was
supposed to be given. The clerk
said yes, and went and dug up the
"transit entry" which explained
the mystery. The "transit entry"
had it 5,431 gallons at GO cents,
making the value S3,25S.60. The
blunder was made by the clerk who
copied the figures from the "transit
entry to the outward manifest.

A QUESTION OF POWER.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH's RIGHT TIC
EXAMINE PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN.

In answer to the question pro-
pounded by Secretary Williams of
the Board of Health, elias the
Board of Health power to have the
children at the public schools exam
ined by medical inspector, to see
if they are properly vaccinated?"
City Attorney Flournoy has pre-
pared long opinion, in which he
reviews the law relating to the
power of the Health Board in deal
ing with epidemics such as that re-
Gently declared of smallpox. He
refers to the provisions of Section
II, Article ri, of the Constitution,
which confers on cities, counties
and towns, the power to make and
enforce within their limits all such
local, police, sanitary and other re-
gulations as are not in conflict with
general laws. These carefully
guard and declare invioIate the sa-
credness of the person. Exercising
its power of delegation, the Legis-
lature gave the Board of Health
general supervision of all matters
appertaining to the sanitary condi-
ton of the city and county," and
authorized it to "adopt such orders
and regulations as to them seem
best to promote the public welfare"
These powers, however, are not,
he says, to be construed as non-lim-
tied powers, and decision of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court is
quoted as followsi "By the general
authority to take such measures as
are deemed necessary for the safety
of the inhabitants, it is not intended
to confer unlimited authority on the
Board to control persons and prop
erty at his discretion"
In this State, Mr.. Flournoy con-
tinues, there is no general or other
law making vaccination compulsory,
except that contained in Section 81
021 of the Political Code, which is.
that "the Board of Health may en-
force compulsory vaccination on
passengers in infected ships or COM
ing from infected ports" AS to
our citizens unaffected by the pro-
vision, no such law exists, and
when we remember how often the
State has been exposed to the
smallpox, we may we'll infer that
the Legislature did not omit TO legs-
late upon the subject further than
above stated by mere neglect or in
advertence, but Intentionally made
such omission. If that body passed
no act upon the subject except that
above stated, though invoked by
every reason so to do, can we infer
that it was the legislative intent to
delegate such power to the Board
of Health? l think not. If youl
Board has not the power to compel
vaccination. is it fair to presume
that it has the power to "eXamine'
the children of the public schools
"to see if they are properly vaccin-
ated!" 1t is vain to discover fact
if no good can follow discovery.
admit that the Board clearly have
the power To remove persons afflict,
ed with the smallpox TO hospitals
to establish, if necessary, depots fol-
their isolation; to take them from
the streets, schools and houses anC
convey them in the manner an(
! time it deems best, TO such places
