Houskwivks in Shenandoah who have vented th.-ir ill humor over the seven wot M 'inlays in succession we have had, upon thoe useful house hold ornaments, their husbands, should take somo comfort from the statement of a New York paper that last Monday was the thirteenth in succession in that city. Tub man who accomplishes any thing in this world is bound to make enemies. In his efforts to forge ahead and be a hero in the battle of life, he will necessarily jostle with his elbows people who stand In his way. The timid man, who will stand still rather than run the risk of offending some one, will never accomplish much. TnB holidays are approaching, and this is the time of all others when purse strings are loosened and pur chases ure mode with an abandon not usual at other seasons of the year. Hence the prudent merchant is early in the field with hisarmouncement. Of all the days in the year Christmas is the season when the heart delights in doing nets of kindness and In glad dening other hearts. Hoicit Smith, the representative of the South in Cleveland's last Cabinet, has stirred up a hornet's nest at his home in Atlanta, Georgia. Hoke is prinolpal owner of the Atlanta Jour nal, which, it seems, had a lot of white and colored boys for carriers. The latter were refused papers last Thursday, and left the ofllce looking quite black, and are still in the same condition, besides being way "up in their hats" about it. Their elders have taken up the case as one of drawing the color line and are kick ing up quite a row about it. Bismarck's health gives occasion for renewed anxiety, and the indica tions are that the Fatherland will in no long time be called upon to put on weeds of mourning for the great est man its soil has ever nurtured, overshadowing its proeesslon of Princes and Kings like a cedar of Lebanon the olive and oypress upon its slopes. In the historio grouping of its worthies, where he sits will al ways be the head of the table, and in putting oil his harness it will not be denied that he is entitled to boast hiiaself almost us generously as his young imperial master was wont to do in putting it on. Physicians of long experiences agree that retiring from business, as it is called, is a critical matter.

Count Rocco Dian ovlch, of AuBtrla, who for 84 years has disguised himself ob a tramp and traV' eled all over the world, Is in this city. He makes a specialty of prisons, and says he has, either as prisoner or as Visitor, been In every prison In the world. When he was a prisoner It was In consequence of feigning drunken nese. He has worked the treadmill in England, swept the streets with the chain gang In Peru, Joined the penal colony In Tasmania and been locked up in Australia and Africa. He says he has observed that the county Jails of America are dirty, but that Its penl tenllarles are the cleanest prisons in the world. In respect to wickedness he gives the palm to Australia. "Africa," he says, "Is bad, but Aus tralla is the most brutal and most via lous olace In the world. They treat prisoners worse there than anywhere else. I have seen them tied to a orose and given H9 lashes for disrespect to an officer." NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

Dec. 1 All sorts of wild ru mors are current here and at Kiel, irobably basd In the maliv, upon the speech of Emperor William at the open ing of the re.chatag, as to the relations between Germany and China. But most ot these are discredited. The Na tional Zeltung has confirmed the state ment of the emperor that Germany's only object In the occupation at Klao- chau Is to protect German missionaries in China, and the alarmist stories are now taken with liberal allowances of salt. A sensation was caused yesterday by a report that the Chinese had massa cred 200 German sailors belonging to the German cruiser division in Klao ohau baj but there has been no con firmation of this, while the latest dls palohes received from Admiral Von Dledrlch, commander of the division, make no reference to fighting at Klao chau. It Is reported in well Informed cir cles that the views of the Russian go.- ernment have undergone a change as to the situation at ICIaochau bay. See ing the large force that Germany Is assembling there Russia Is Inclined, with France, to oppose German action. Another report Is that France, Ger many and Russia have entered Into a compact for acquisition of Chinese ter ritory. Germany taking Shan-Tung, Russia taking Cores and France taking Fo-Klen and Formosa. THE HORRORS OF CUBA. Terrible RnvnKs of Smallpox Anionrr Hnu Domlueo Roconcelltrndos. Havana, Dec. 2. The deplorable con dition of the country grows more and more apparent. Refugees and recon- centrados are becoming more and more miserable. According to reports from San Domingo smallpox Is malting ter rible ravages among the reconcentra dos. Since April last more than 4,000 have died In the city alone, to say nothing of the suburban towns, which are likewise Infested. The local authorities take no steps whatever to check the mortality. The streets of the city are thronged with famine stricken, wretched beings, who succumb to -disease under, perhaps. some lonely portico and sometimes fair dead In the gutter. The press correspondents at San Do mingo say that the worst African sav ages arc more humane than the local authorities. More than 290 smallpox cases are known to exist, but no one is over vaccinated. Medical aid Is very scarce, and the burial of these wretch ed beings is most brutally affected. Often as many as 15 corpses are piled together In a car and Then dumped to gether In a hole. PoIhoii In 11 Iliwpltnl. aalllpolls. O., Ded. 2.

Dr. Rut ter and his corps of physicians suc ceeded only after a desperate fight In checking the outbreak without a fa tality, though some of the patients are still In a urlilcal condition. The pre sumption among the hospital physi cians Is that the Infect!' 11 come from some article of food eaten by tha pa tients. Some think a deterlous drug was placed In ome of the victuals, and that, with the wholesale discharge of employes, has put the institution In the throes of eioat excitement.
