TO RESTRICT THE PLAGUE.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Venice says:
At a recent session of the plague
conference two bodies were formed, one
diplomatic, the other medical. These
bodies will meet hereafter separately.
The chief subject Of discussion at
the last session was relative to rags
as a means of spreading the pest. DR..
Thorne stated that thousands Of bales
of infected rags have been sent to
foreign ports of Egypt, having been
handled by men affected with the
plague The disease had been in the
houses whence came these rags, but
they had never, he said, transmitted
the plague.
The Dutch delegate was of the same
opinion. They will vote together to
put no restriction on trade in rags.
France, Austria, Italy and Germany
were against them.

PORTO RICO CONSERVATIVE VIC
TORY.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Sanguan, Porto Rico,
says:
The municipal elections, provided for
by the reforms recently granted to
Porto Rico by Spain, have been held
and resulted in a sweeping triumph
for the Conservatives at all points.
The Autonomists did not go to the
polls as a general rule, hence the de-
cided triumph for the Conservatives.
Everything throughout the island
was extremely quiet, and there was no
trouble of any kind, so far as reported,
resulting from the refusal of the Au-
Economists to vote.

Wise Words.

Better freedom in bonds, than
bonds in freedom.
Gorge the memory, and starve the
understanding.
Better understand one theorem,
than learn a dozen.
They who wait to do great things
never do anything.
A man with two faces, never needs
but one pair of feet.
Pretend to know, and you will be-
come an empty shell.
A crust with an appetite is better
than a feast without.
They who clamor for their rights,
multiply their wrongs.
Indecision is quicksand. Determi-
nation to do right is rock.
One truth in the life is better than
a hundred in the memory.
Opinions have made some men
presidents; Others, anarchists.
Success, like a lung testing machine,
is valuable only as it measures
strength.
There is one person of whom every
body nthe world has good opinion,
of himself.
In war at this day, men think more
of the chances of victory than the
justice of the cause.-Ram'S Horn.

cupation makes work stimulating to

Further, we must put away all
sentimental protest against these
thousands being forced to celebacy.
Celebacy is the only way to stop this
self-multiplying stream. There are
higher duties than reproducing our
kind. The late war removed ten
times ten thousand and thousands
besides from life and all chance to
marry, and yet we admire them for
their self surrender. The Catholic
clergy forgo marriage in order that
they may be free to go here there and
everywhere at the call of sacred duty;
we admire them also. The highest
duty of self is to serve society, and
we wish to call these detectives to a
grander battle than ever fought with
weapons, a battle with insanity, pau
perism, idiocy, illegItimacy and vice,
waged from those who heretofore
have, from no conscious fault of their
own, been working entirely on behalf
of these evils.
Every state must arouse through
it's Legislature to take action, based
upon an intelligent understanding of
the whole question. To this sacred
duty to generations yet unborn, l
trust that some of my readers will
pledge themselves. The question of
expense will solve itself, since we can
