The Antl-vaccinatlon Movement.

The anti-vaceinaiion movement, which
has shown such surprising strength of late
years in Switzerland aud England, seems
recently TO have been making some headway
within the United States. A few weeks
ago one of the teachers in a gitls' high
school in Philadelphia refused to obey the
order of the Board of Education requiring
vaccination, and. when dismissed in conse.
quenee, appealed to the courts. The. lower
courts sustained the Board, but before her
case had had time TO come before the higher
courts an alarming succession Of deaths fol-
lowing vaccination awakened new seuti-
meut in her behalf. In Philadelphia itself
according to press dispatches, there were
several cases of lockjaw following vaccna-
ton, and in the neighboring city of Camden
N. Of, the Board of Education was compel
led to rescind the order of compulsory vac
cinaticn by the developement of seven fatal
cases Of the same disease among recently
vaccinated persons. The Board of Health
of Camden requested physicians TO stop
vacciuaiing people until there has been
thorough Investigation. The physician at
the head of the Board publicly expressed
his own belief that vaccination has not
caused the recent deaths, and physicians
elsewhere note that the lock jaw or te,anus
germ may appear whenever wounds Of any
kind are not properly treated. Whatever
the cause, however, the presence ol an
epidemic Of lockjaw and the simultaneous
appearance of press dispatches announcing
dea tbs from jaw following vaccination
in Atlantic City, n. ], and Bristol, Pa,
have temporarily made the fear Of vaccina-
tion in the Camden district more acute than
the fear Of smallpox. Physicians are sll
but unanimous in declaring the fear Of vac
cinaiion groundless, il care has been used
in preparing the vaccine matter and if the
wounds are cared for, and they point TO
the great reduction in the number Of deaths
f. ON smallpox since vaccination succeeded

THE NEW YEAR MINuEr.

1t was danced in the hall by the fires red
glow,
For tn, palms hid the lamps a, the side.
And each form was oatliued ON the noor
below,
While the shadows we've spread far and
wide.
But the shadows were misty, softened gray
In accord with the slow melody;
The light of the tire drove the dark lines
away,
While it len, all a swee, mystery.
Both dancers were eouuly and figures Of
grace,
Yet the maid held my fancy alone;
The glow gave a blush to her beautiful face;
In her dark eyes fairer light shone,
And then as she curtesied so stately, so slow,
With the grace of an age that is past
II seemed like dream Of the long, long
ago
Like dream that knew could no, last
SO stately, SO slow was each step lha, she
made
Aud SO graceful the head that she bent;
The old fashioned fan that at times cast q
shade
Such au air of true elegance lent;
The place Of the dance gave place to my
thought,
And dreamed of the days that arc dead;
The spell Of the dance was by soreery
wrought,
Aud the hurying modern days led
II was peace, the sweet rest Of the olden day
When all idols were not ovcrihrowu,
When romance still lived and as king, we
held sway,
before Mammon to ruler had grown,
And all those who watched were bewilched
10y the dance,
And they dreamed till the measure was
DER;
Today was forgot in The short backward
glance
And the charms of the day gone before
