A Fortnight After. —_——_— Two weeks have passed since the cry of “smallpox” was heard op our streets. The sad record of the time show eighty

the epidemic, but to stamp out the disease. But in the assurance of the physicians that “ the worst is over,” in the fact that the whole population is under yacciuation, in the ready com- pliance of the bulk of our people with the regulations of the Board of Health, in the calmness and prudence of all sorts and conditions of men—with few exceptions,—and above ali in the reduced number ef new cases, we think we have sufficient grounds for thanking Provi- dence and congratulating ourselves that the progress of tbe plague is stayed.

The improvement is no doubt largely due to vaccination. ‘*‘Thauk God for vaccination,” said one of the physicians engaged in grappling with the disease ; “if it were not for vaccination pearly oue- halfour population would now—judging by the evidences of inter-communication that are before us—be prostrated by the disease.” A great deal is due also te the prompt closing ef the schools, and the regulation prohibiting all public gatheriags, while a large proportion o:

The law of England and of every civilized country recognizes ahusband and wife as one in every respect, and it is believed that in accordance with this established fact the Government will decide in Mr. Moore’s favor. As regards the children, they undoubtedly take the nationality of the father.

A Personal Reminiscence

Mr. Chamberlain, speaking at Birming- ham lately, said his father and great}

thepeople were yet unvaccinated. Many persons thought the closing of the! churches a too arbitrery meastire; and| it did seem hard to shut the public out of the places of public worship at such a} time—a time when a seuse of their| folly, carelessness aud sin was made evident by the presence of the dire results. | But when under the doctor’s orders, it is wise to obey the doctor; aud in adopt- ing the recommendation of the phy- sicians to close the churches, tbe Board of Health acted prudently and rightly. That the churches in the large cities of Europe and America are not closed during the prevalence of smallpox epidemics is a fact beside the point. They have smal!pox always with them ; and the best that can be done in them is to keep it under control. But it is important that we should, if at all possible,stamp it out completely and a’ once. We cannot afferd to have smallpox lingering here; and, therefore, it was right and necessary to take more stringent measures than are commonly adopted. The infection of smallpox can be spread in Church as well as in any other place where numbers of persons drawn from all paris of the town are gathered together; and there is little doubt that had Church services beea held in our town as usual before the people were vaccinated, the disease would not have been so well under control as it is to-day. Afier all, the fervent prayers offered from thonsands of family altars, were perhaps acceptable to a Merciful Saviour, and powerful in assuaging the wrath of an angry God. Now that all have been vacciuated, and the people are, to @ large extent, protected from the disease, the Churches might, we think, again be opened, and the people per- mitted to unite in praise and thanks- giving. ;

Exaggerated Reports.

We greatly regret to learn that grossly exaggerated reports of the exteut of the epidemic in Charlottetown are being sent to some of the outlying country districts. Advices recently re- ceived bere from Alberion and Tig: uish set dowo the number of cases under treatment for smallpox at double what it really is. The circulation of such un- reliable information as this can only re- sult disastrously to the interest of any comunity in which it is spread. The public mind becomes unduly exciled in consequence, and the guardians of the public health are driven to the adoption of extreme measures, to which in the absence of such unfounded reports they would never think of resorting. It is just aud proper that all reasonable pre- cautions be taken to arrest the spread of the disease, but this can be effeciuailly done without unnecessarily obsiructivg the business of the conatry. The people can rely upon the situation being no worse ‘lan it appears from the pages of Tae Examiner every day. We make it a point to give the fullest possible in- formation, founded upon established facts.

—The anoual report of Joseph S. Mitten, United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue, shows that the total receipts from all sources of Ipternal Revenve taxation for the year ended June 30, were $112.421,121, as com- pared with $121,590,039 for the year 1884. So it appears that Canada is not alone‘in suffering a dimiuution of revenue.

A REMARKABLE case of fatal cruelty by a ieacher in the Bennett public school at Somerville, Macs., toward a scholar, has jost come to light by the discharge of the eacher by the Board of School Commis- sionere. A week ago Miss Minnie Turney, the teacher, aged 20, asked one of the scholars, a boy named Wiley, aged 9, in regard toacortain breach of the rules. Ho said he had not, but knew the offender. The voluntary offer to be a tell-tale s0 in- censed the teacher that she stood up the boy and put alot of pepper in his mouth, and made him chew it under a threat of whipping. ‘The boy’s mouth was terribly burned, and next day he took cold in the sore places, and died three days later of diptheria. The physician who gave the death certificate testified to the truthful- ness of the case. The family agreed not to prosecute if the teacher loft Somerville.
