The State Board of Health advises:
1.-THE Board of Supervisors in every
county in the State without delay to
divide their respective counties into
districts, appoint one or more physi
clans to each district, depending on
the size, furnish the virus and service
free, issue proclamation urging the
necessity OF general vaccination, and
call upon the public to aid in pre-
venting this disease. Procrastina
ton is dangerous; it entails more
anxiety, more suffering and greater
interference with business" The
prevalence of smallpox in many sec
tions of the State seems to have sug>
gested the above and the advice is
commended to our Board of Supervi
sors for their consideration. The
disease prevails to a greater extent in
no part of the State, than that with
which we are in almost hourly COM
munication.

A Great Convention.

The international Sunday-school
convention which will assemble i'll
Atlanta April 26, will be one of the
largest and most interesting bodies
that ever held a session here. There
will be more than q thousand dele
gates and a large number OF visitors.
The delegates will come from all
parts of the United States and from
many foreign counties. The pro-
ceedings of the convention will be
interesting not only to Sunday
school workers, but the public gener-
ally. The work in Sunday schools
has been beautifully systematized
and made more attractive to children
than ever before
The conventions at which Sunday
school superintendents and teachers
meet to exchange experience and
compare methods do much to carry
on this Observation-Disclosures Jour.
nal.

Boss Reed will not be Speaker Of
the next Congress according 10 the
latest advices. He will give up pub
lie life, it is stated, for law partner
ship in New York, for the filthy lucre
there is in it. A suspicion, however
seems to prevail, that another motive
prompted the Boss in the decision
arrived at by him in the matter. He
is willing to lay down the sceptre OF
power, it is believed, because he could
not concur in all the reckless and
vicious schemes of the present ad-
ministration. The folly of the ex-
pansion policy of the President is too
patent to the Boss for him to approve
it, and not having the courage, ii
seems, to use his great power to check
his party in It's visionary schemes, he
prefers to retire.

FAMILY FINANCIERING.

They tell me you work for dollar day!
How is it you clothe your boys on SUCH pay?
1 know you will think it conceited and queer,
But do it because good fnancier.
There's Pete, John & jim, Joe, William & Ned,
A half dozen Buys to be clothed and fed
buy for them all plain victuas to eat,
But clothing buy only for our son Pete.
When Pete's clothes are too small for him 60
My wife makes them over and gives them to John,
When for John who is they have grown out OF date
She Just makes them over for J i'm who is eight.
When for Jim they have become 100 ragged to fix,
She just makes Them for Bill who is six,
And when for young Bill they Will no longer do,
She lust makes them over for Ned who is two.
ISo you see if get the good clothing for Pete
The family is furnished with clothng complete,
But when Ned got through with the clothing and when
He has thrown them aside what do you do with then?
Why once more we go round the circle complete
And begin to them for patches for Pete,
But where dear friend you buy clothes that wear
From Pete down to Ned without rip or tear?
II go down to -GLICK'S- his stock is the best,
He can suit the whole family, my wife and the rest.

A Girl Thief Whipped.

Manassas. Va. April 16.-In the
Mayors office here yesterday after
noon there was a scene enacted which
revived recollection of the whipping
post law of this State, long since re,
pealed, when Mary Ball, colored, by
consent of her father, Tom Ball, re-
ceived ten Iashes on the bare back,
we'll laid on by Sergt B N. Merchant,
as the penalty for the larceny OF a
lot of wearing apparel. The Legisla
ture, at it's last session, passed an act
authorizing the administration OF
stripes as penalty for misdemeanors
in cases of minors, with consent of
the parent or guardian.
