 Those who lied against me will have to admit it before they die. OF nothing can save them from hell. God help them; they don't know what they are doing.
 | have asked for help from. above to help me decide. and have decided to tell you not to try to get the gov that it is for the best. and obliged, l close. Sincerely yours.

SMALLPOX SYMPTOMS

 ceptibIe to Vaccine

Providence, June 15.-ManueI Aguez. the A year old Cape Nerder who was sent to the Fields Point hospital on June ?, believed to be suffering from smallpox, was discharged from that institution yesterday il having been ascertained that he is not afflicted with the disease. bat that double yaceina ton produced symptoms similar b those of smallpox.
 Aguez arrived in this country on May 23. landing at New Bedford He was vaccinated upon arrival at that port, but the vaccination apparently did not take. He came to Previ- dence on May p, going to the house where his brother is living. This house is adjacent to the one in which the first patient to be stricken with smallpox in Providence lived, and who was taken to the Fields Point institution a few days before Aguez began to show symptoms of the disease
 Immediately upon the discovery of Silva's condition the health officials vaccinated the residents throughout that neighborhood, Aguez among the rest.
 A few days later Aguez began 0 exhibit pronounced symptoms of small pox and was sent on June to he Fields Point hospital.
 It is now believed that the man did not have smallpox. but that he was peculiarly susceptible to the vaccine with which he was inoculated in New Bedford and that t1is caused a close stimulation of the symptoms of the Iiroa

Albany, N.

 The inhospitality of orphan asy- lums, as disclosed to me in recent murder trial at which | presided said Justice Howard. 'presentes a condition so grave that I am amazed that it should exist A woman was on trial for staying her child. She had been somewhat wayWard but was frail, feeble minded, consumptive creature. Her lTckless, cheerless, hapless life found her a widow before she was 23. Her child, after going from pillar te post, was finally thrown back for sup port upon her hands. She worked as a domestic and. earned little money.
 Tt was in the dead of the winter when the days were shortest and when the nights were black and cold that she took her baby by the hand and led him to an orphan asylum; but the doors were closed against her and she was forced to seek shelter else where. She went to neighbOring city and there sought out another orphan asylum. But again the doors were closed against her, and out into the night and the darkness and the cold this widow and fher waif turned her course, in distraction and despair That night she killedvher baby and left his little face upturned to the biung blasts of winter; and she is now her. self a convict for life.
 Had there been warmth and char ity and hospitality and good cheeer and kind words and encouragement for these forlorn wanderers at either ayslum the shocking tragedy would mt have haen enacfed.,'
