"I don't know what he has gone for. He's not a bad man, anyhow, for he hasn't arrested me as I thought he would." In a very minutes the officer re turned with bread and groceries, not forgetting some cakes and con diments for the smallest children, while another man at his heels car ried a big sack of wood and ej d on his back.

Jcnner's great discovery of vac cinnation for prevention of smallpox has not been wanting in opposition, and a lew persons are still so stupid as to object to vaccination. These people, v.ho refuse to be vaccinated themselves or allow their children to be, endanger not merely their own lives but the lives of their neighbors. They furnish the fuel on which the flames feed, and ren der epidemics of emarpox possible. If vaccination were universal, it would be as hard to start a small- pox pest ilence as it is to start a great lire in a city where all the buildings are practically iire-p roof, While the efiieacy of previous vaccination with good virus is well known to be a of vaccination i been contracted preventive, me use after the disease has are less understood. fcome years ago a irginian physi cian, Dr. Alban S. Payne, conceived the idea of vaccinating a smallpox patient with the kine-pox. It took at once. The next day he repeated the vaccination, and that also took effect. And what was the effect upon the smallpox of having anoth er similar disease in the system at the same time ?" The eruption was less extensive, but few pustules ap peared, no scars were left, and in a surprising short time (three or four days) the patient was able to be about the room. In hundreds of cases where the system of daily vaccina tion was practiced by Dr. Payne, the duration of the disease was shortened and no deaths occurred. Why, one would ask, is not this simple precaution always taken, if by its means lifo may be saved, pitting prevented, and" suffering di minished? We should be glad to hear from other practitioners who have tried the method above de scribed. Scunlijic America.

"Well," said the minister, "how much land do you own?" "r lve hundred acres. "How far down do you own?" "Why I never thought of it be fore, but I suppose I own about half way through." "Exactly," said the clergyman; "I suppose you do, and I want this money for the New Zealandcrs the men whose lands join on the bottom."

I nev er witnessed more noble conduct than I have seen in Mrs. Garfield during this sore trial. There seems to mo to be a singular subtle bond of sympathetic union between this husband and wife. It is a life bound up in a lifo. The one rallies and improves apparently for tho sake and under the magnetic influ ence of the other. If Mrs. Garfield was absent I think there would Ik far less chance than there is of the President's recovery. Should the fatal result ensue after all, which I believe now will not be the case, I should tremble for Mrs. Garfield's life, yet she has such remarkable qualaties that I have no doubt that under the heaviest affliction that could befall her her brave heart would enable her to bear up if she thought it her duty to others to sub due her grief and live.

Sheriff Michltr, of Hernando coun ty, who lives some miles from the court liour.e, having occasion to go there on the 2ftth u!t, left his three children, aed eight, eleven and fourteen, alone with a negro named King, to whom he had been very kind. The fiend shot and mortally wounded the eldest and then drove the others to the woods, shot the elder dead, cut the throat of the younger and left it also for dead. He then returned and robbed the house of what he could carry, and waylaid Mr. Michler, designing to kill him on his return. A neighbor accom ponied Michler and the mur derer was thwarted. The two wounded children when found were able to give an account of the affair though one, and perhaps both, are now dead. The assassin was cap tured and confessed his crime.
