WAsHINGToN, Jan. Goth, 1871
The Senate did wise thing when
it defeated the amendment offered
to the Military appropriation bill
appropriating the cost of transpor-
tation of the West Point Cadets to
and from Washington, in order that
they might be allowed to appear in
the Inauguration day parade. In
the first place, spending money for
such a purpose is an extravaganza
at any time and doubly so ut this
time when, as Senator Stewart
pointed out, thousands Of our peo'
pie are in need of the actual me-
cessities of life. In the next place,
tine military forces Of the govern
ment should not be allowed to
take any part in the inauguration
of President. The presence Of
the U. S. troops no doubt adds to
the plea sure Of those who view the
parade, but all the same they ought
not to be there. 1t is bad idea,
and the precedent of having few
U. s. troops in the parade TO give
it variety, which we have been set
ting in this generation, may some
day be taken advantage of by un-
scrupulous men by bringing en-
ough Of them to Washington to
forcibly inaugurate some man who
has not gone through the formality
OF being elected by the people. In
my humble opinion it would be Il
wise precaution for Congress to
pass bill prohibiting armed troops,
whether state or national, from
coming inside the corporate limits
of Washington on inauguration
day. The inauguration of II Presi
dent isn't II military function and
the military should have nothing
whatever to do with it.
That arbitration treaty has not
yet been reported to The Senate
from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, Notwithstanding the
public meetings and showers of
kilograms and letters in lis behalf.
The general impression Is that the
Committee will recommend sever.
al amendments to the treaty, set
ting forth. clearly that it is not to
be allowed to interfere With our
maintenance Of the Monroe doe
trine.
The House this week passed the
immigration bill as reported from
The Conference committee.
Senator Daniel made a speech

matte language: "The bill is dead.

whether the canal would be a com
nercial benefit to the u. s. If it

Don't Lay Me In the Pottcrs Field.

Reader, the following poem is
rue the girl mentioned died In an
Infirmery few days since.
rhe facts were sent to me with q
'equest TO tell the tale in rhyme.
Don't lay me I'm the potters field
a pauper maiden cried,
While lying on her dying bed,
To those around her side,
Don't lay me in the pcttcrs field,
Don't lay me there pray,
Not IN the potters field they said,
.Will we your body lay.
The dying girl was able once,
Sweet music iled her soul
But sickness wore away her strength
And banks her money stole.
Too proud to ask for public aid
She sought the poor house door,
And there In sickness tarried she
It'll life and pain were DER.
They ranged her for the potters field.
Their blood her kind forgot;
But christian hearts remembered her,
And showsa brighter spot.
They dug b er grave beside church,
And there with tender care,
They laid her weary corpse to rest
According to her prayer,
Good angels tell the sainted soul,
Where lies her body seoled
And hover round the hearts who saved
1t from the potters field.
Gld pity those who do not blush
To wrong the pillowed heat,
And bless those who respect with tears
And care for the silent dead.

The Weather.

Don't growl about tho weather,
But lust take is as IL comes,
When the sky IL bean Ing brightly,
Or the thunder beats Its drum.
Stop complaining COS Its raining,
But be thankful for the drops,
AS they sprinkle, tinklo, tinklc
On the dry and thirsty crops.
Don't growl about the weather
When the birds are singing sweet,
And the daisies, llS white cloud,
Are foaming Mt you feet.
Don't even growl at nothing
On earth or up above
Its the light that makes the shl dows
And the light Is fluent with love.

The JEWISH SOUTH.

Ii 1T sometimes to be lost upon the person to
whom 1T is directed its expression has been lost
upon some else who has heard it. 1t is certainly
not lost upon ourselves The most of us are quick
enough to thank some one who does us a great ser
VICE But the small courtesy, just great as the
large service in reality overlook It doesn' seem
worth while to give thanks for small things And
yet what would we be to- day. and where would some
OF us be but for the small courtesies of life? They are
what make life worth living
1t is all very well to have the last Thurs
day OF each November set apart as day of thanks
giving But it would be far better if a great many
OF us carried the spirit of the day into all the other
days. Perhaps, if we did SO we might have more
mercies to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day. y
DO not let the spirit Of thanks stop with nghtfa on
thanksgiving Day Let extend it to all the other
days OF the year, to the people whose lives touch
ours. When we receive a favor at the hands of any
one, no matter how smell it may be, let us say the
words Thank YOU If they should be written let
us write them Let us not delay them but take adj
vantage OF the instant when our heart is touched
Let there be more thank yous said by everybody
thousands OF them. And the world will be a better,
brighter and happier place to live because of them

times. been subjected to oppression at the hands of their Mohammedan fellow subjects.
 From all the parts of the world here spoken of, and from ether parts of 1t, there have come stories of Jewish grlev- anees This year. It was Max Nordau, one of the men desirous of founding a Jewish state in Palestine, who recently said that the anti-Semitic prejudice ex- tends over the greater part of the earth, is constantly growing stronger, and is often expressed in deeds of violence. It does not seem as though this state ment were sustained by experience or the records. Mir. Nordau must surely admit that the condition of the Jewish people almost everywhere at the end of the nineteenth century is far better thanit ever was at any other time since Judaism emerged from Palestine. It is truel nevertheless. that anti-Semitism is yet strerg in many countries and among many races, and that the Jews cannot count upon its disappearance within any brief period of time. Luckily for the Jew, here in the United States and in France and England, he possesses all those franchises and rights that belong to other people.

c0NNECTICUT'S SMALLPOX ROCK.
A Relic of the Days When lnoculation Was Prac-
 tced in the Nutmeg State.

From the New York Sun.
 Thomaston, Conn.,, Sept. 30-A party of bicyclists from this place, under the leadership Of Charles T. Hunter, while making run to Hartford through Far mngto this week, unearthed a curi- osity in the shape of a huge flat rock or ledge in the woods, covered with names, ages and dates. None of the dates were later than 1794. The roc kis part of the trap formation which crops out of the little mountain to the southeast of Pennington, on the old road running from New Britain. Upon returnig MT. Hunter made inquiries and obtained from an old resident of Southington what is probably the story of the rock.
 It appears from the Southington mans story that smallpox fnoculation hos pital, owned jointly by the adjoining towns of Southington and Farmington, stood in the wilderness near the sculp- tured rock for three years after 1792. The rock was the meeting place for the hospital attendants and the messengers for years after until it was forgotten, the ledge was known as the smallpox hospital rock. t
 Smallpox was held in dread by the old residents of Connecticut, and until Jen- ner's discovery of vaccination came into general use inoculation was practiced. Hundreds of people were inoculated at the Southington- Pennington hospital and the names carved on the sculptured rock are those of some of them. There are thought to be hundreds of these in- scriptions, as the surface of the rock has been uncovered for a small area only. The dates run from 1792 to 1794. A bit of an old Pennington letter found by Mir. Hunter throws further light on the old pesthouse times. It says under date

 The young couple had planned a wed- ding trip to North Carolina, which was long journey for those days. It occur red to the brides father that she might be exposed to smallpox while traveline. and he insisted upon hergoing to the pesthouse on the mountain to take the disease in it's mildest form. The bride wept and entreated not to be separat d from her husband, and the latter expos tulated, but to no avail.
