The Marion county young man who
was exposed to smallpox in Pittsburg,
broke out next day, fortified himself
in a lonely cabin on his fathers farm
and warned all to keep away from
him shows sense in every respect ex.
cept that Of not permitting proper
medical treatment. His desire not to
give the disease to others places him
high up in the catalogue OF great
men, whose highest and noblest am.
bition is to have consideration for the
welfare of their fellowmen. There is
nothing selfish about HIM and he has
shown that he would rather die than
subject others to danger. What a
pity it is that there are not others like
him! Certain 1t is that there would
be little use for guards in the city Of
Clarksburg, If there were more like
him, when they have the smallpox.

his Temporary prestige in his party

those he has been denouncing, and
when he will be found facilitating

Among the deductions to be drawn
is that Mr.. Bryan is more tenacious

1t is also to be concluded that he is
judged by his daily walks in life, Just
as he adiudges those he opposes, and,
when he Is measured up with them,
he is found to be in the same class, or
