History oi R«nall-pox. Of all the plagues which have arisen from time to time, and infested cities or countries, none is more easily com municable or fatal than was small) ox acentury ago. But whence or how the disease arose it is not so easv to •o say. Other plagues have vexedjthe earth for a time and then passed away, leaving no vestige of their ravages, as did the great plague at Athens during the Peloponnesian war, or the plagae in England of Charles 11., but smallpox, not content with twelve cen turies of sway, still holds its own de spite the discoveries of science. It is unquestionably true that diseases of contagious natures generally arise among filthy and ill-conditioned people, confined in narrow quarter?. This was the case with the Athenian plagne, and it was again the case in the Jewish quarters of European cities. Contagious diseases were comparative ly rare among the Romans arid Greeks oftbe illustrious periods, owing to the free public baths and excellent sanitary gymnastic habits of the times. It was reserved for the middle or dark ag«s to furnish the dreadful exam ples of pestilence* Smallpox arose in the very darkest period of medieval times. It first invaded England in tho ninth centary; it was common in Arabia in ibe tenth; the crusades carried it through all southern Europe; it reached Norwav in the fourteenth century; in 1517 it was carried to St Domingo by Bpsniards along with slavery, the In quisition, the rack and a host of other blessings; three years later it crossed to Mexico and slew three millions; it in vaded Iceland in 1707 and Greenland in 1733, slaying a fourth part of the residents in the former and a large pro portion of those in the latter country, and despite all that medical skill has done and is doing to cast it from the earth, it bids fair to retain its hold in some measure as long as popular ignor ance, destitution, negligence and care lessness continue to combat the physi cians and the dictates of common sense. Its history is thus unique; other con tagious diseases have proved as fatal under similar circumstances for limited periods; none have continued their blasting work for ten centuries in all climate* from Mexico to Greenland. It is not unreasonable, therefore, that its approach should be hailed with terror as is the approachjof almost no other disease. Yellow fever and Asiatic cholera even, have caused no such po tent and widespread destruction. The very air it taints carries infection; gar ments in contact with patients carry their baneful power for years if shut up in tight closets; it can be communica ted bv mail or the .wind, by railroad, by ocean voyage, by manifold means which csnnot be guarded against. It is not only dangerous but loathsome in its • progress; it drives away one's ' friends, thrusts him into unutterable tortures and leaves bim often a wreck for life with rained health and disfig ured countenance. When to all this is added its persistent reappearance at almost definite periods, it is not to be wondered at that smallpox scares are so common. [Muscatine Journal.] Two Days Work, Two days' moderate application of the means in question, enable Mr. Otto Eichhorn, 1413 N. Ninth street, St. Loals, Mo ,to thus write us : I had been a sufferer for the past six weeks with severe pains in the shoulder and spine so that I was unable to do any wort Advised by a friend I used Bt. Jacobs Oil. With the second ap plication relief was had and a cure ef fected in two days. Fifty-two stones were received in Kittanning last week to mark the graves of soldiers in Armstrong county. For kidney and pelvic difficulties take Manalin. The trunk line railroad war goes on uninterruptedly. It is some satisfac tion that Mr. Yanderbilt's roads appear to be getting the worst of It. It is well understood that his stubborn stand for even rates over uneven distances is at the bottom of the difficulty. For all urinary and female com • plaints take Manalin. The office-seeking hordes are said to have descended upon Washington. One of the number, especialy eager to see the President in person, wrote on his card as conclusive proof of his claim to that honor : 'My wife is a personal friend of one of your groomsmen.' The London papers look complacently upon the fact that American beef, mut ton and apples are crowding the Eng lish products from the markets; but the discovery that America is supplying Great Britain with genuine plum pud ding, tied up in a cloth and ready for boiling, caases them to wince and be come seriously alarmed. A New York minstrel troupe an nounces that ambulances will lie pro vided to carry away those who become exhausted by laughter. The inference is that the troupe has purchased a joke of recent origin, but up to the hour of going to press an ambulance has not been called into requisition.—Norris town Herald. Under a new law in Mafsachusetts the proprietor of a Boston store has bi en fined S2O for employing a cash-boy un der fourteen who had not been to school twenty weeks in a year. A like law enforced in New York might dis close and remove one cause of the de crease in common school attendance commented on by Governor Cornell in bis message. IN the U S. Senate, on Monday week, on Hoar's resolution for the ap pointment of a select committee on rights of women, to whom are to be re ferred all petitions and resolutions re lating to woman suffrage, the party lines were drawn tightly. Tho Demo crats, led by Bayard, solidly opposed the proposition, while the Republicans reinforced by David Davis carried it through. The women's rights advo cates are encouraged. 'I thought, Miss S , that you hated that flirty minx. Yet you went up and kissed her.' MissS.: 't do hate her, and that is why I did it. Look at the big freckles on her cheek where I kiss ed the powder off' 'What do you think of my article on the political sitnation ?' Inquired Fen derson. 'Everybody I have heard speak of it,' replied Fogg, 'praises it very highly.' 'Do they ?'said Fender son, eagerly. 'Whom have you heard •peak of it ?' 'Nobody but yourself,' said Fogg, carelessly. Fenderson says bo has learned one thing—namely, wbon be gets a compliment again, be shall be satisfied to take it as it is giv en. Hereafter he shall not ask for a bill of particulars. 0M AM FCfIALISKIN A Remedy such as Diseases! % TETTER .ITCH. SORES.
