RANDOM REMAKES.
Thoughts on Various Topics by a Casual
Obsorvor.
The measles, so prevalent in the
rural districts are no doubt first cousin
to the small pox also prevalent in the
larger places The doctors say the
symptoms are identical though the dif
ference is quite radical. In the evo
lutions of time it may be found possi
ble to vaccinate against measles and
other ailments. Who can tell ? The
scientific medical light of to day is by
no means the scientific medical light
of a hnndred years, or even fifty years
ngo. Sufficient unto the day is the
light thereof, and it would read well
in Scripture.
Doctors differ as to the efficacy ol
vaccination, and also as to its lasting
effects. While some hold that it
never loses its virtue, others claiming
that the whole human system under
goes a change every seven years, con
tend that vaccination should be com
pulsory every seven years. Still another
class contend that moic harm than
good results from indiscriminate vac
cination and therefore favor its prohi
bition especially as they contend that
other diseases are thus frequently
transmitted which are even more in
jurious than the small pox. The doc
tors differ, sure enough.
One of the best, if not the best,
equipped piinting establishments of
this section is The Columbian of
Bloomsburg. Upon inquiry and ex
amination the writer has found that it
not only makes job-work a specialty,
but it has the job-work to do, and the
artists to do it to the satisfaction of its
patrons and proprietor.
Now, what's the matter with the
noose that hung Pat Hester some 16
years ago ? It has been recently
resurrected, and broucht to public
notice in the papers Let the dead
rest.
That a place the size of Blooms
burg should be without free delivery
of mail is quite a retlection upon the
land of the free. It is the more so
when we consider that free delivery
is quite prevalent even in the rural
districts of the older countries. But
perhaps it requires the evolutions of
time as well as foreign precedent to
bring about free delivery in the land
of the free. A hit e postal deficit ol
about six million dollars may also
have a bearing upon the matter. As
a resigned postmaster the writer firmly
believes that if it were possible to cut
olf and save the stealings of postal of
ficials and the unscrupulous public
who do not hesitate to use postage
stamps that have already been used
to save postage, the free delivery of
mail would be quite possible and the
the postal deficit would no longer
exist It could be relegated to the
shades of the past and thought of as
among the unworthy things of our
worthy Republic. iree delivery is
thus possible not only to booming
towns like Bloomsburg, but even to
the rural districts, where the sovereign
is frequently obliged to wade mud for
miles to reach his post office and get
his news. Some day there will be a
curtailment of postal wastage through
false cancellations and re used postage
stamps. We verily believe the child
is born who will live to see it.
In the case of the crookedness of
banker Rockafellow of Wilkes-Barre,
which terminated March 28th, Judge
Lynch charged the Jury to return a
verdict in favor of the city for $51,-
876.96, the lull amount of the claim,
and it was done, it being the amount
in the hands of the banker when he
failed. It is to bad to thus interfere
with the nest egg of a retired banker,
who no doubt is so tired that he needs
the little rest and comfort that might
with economy be squeezed out of $51,-
876.96. To bad.

The Galveston News says every

Way on in the history of the world
coal and its usefulness was unknown
to humanity. Like about everything
else we now enjoy its utility came to
light in the evolutions and fulness of
time. Even the writer remembers
when tomatoes were called Jerusalem
apples, a"d no one thought of eating
them. Now a natural coke mine has
been discovered near Altoona, Pa.,
we are informed. The vein is five
feet thick, and for heating purposes it
is superior to coal. What next, in
God s evolutions of time, we should
like to inquire of the skeptical and
scientific who so frequently are con
founded through God's more illiterate
agencies ; or at least they never dis
cover anything in advance of time.
If it be true that some people talk
too much, what's the use of condemn
ing chewing gum factories. To try
to chew and talk at the same time is
to make a failure of both.
Its a fact, the Danville papers are
not making much noise about their
small pox. This perhaps, is because
they understand that the general dis
position is rather to magnify and un
duly alarm in all such cases.
Small-pox being generally a vmter
disease, as cholera and yellow fever
are summer diseases, we may reason
ably expect its abatement soon. But
the Inscrutable Power that can fix up
the atmosphere for measles and small
pox can still reach us in a thousand
other ways. Let's reverence this Power
as a matter of policy, and in the hope
of escaping plagues, if we cannot
scrape up religious principle enough
to reverence God and let the world
know it.
One advantage about th; Coxey
