The . compulsory vaccination law was introduced into England in 1853, since when there have been three great small pox epidemics. In the first epidemic of 185769 there were 12,244 deaths, in ~ that of 1803-66 20.059, and in that of 1870 72, 44,840. Allowing an increase of 7 per cent. in the population between the first and second periods flit-re would be an increase of 44 per cent. in the small pox deaths : and allowing inn increase of 10 per cent. in the population in the next period the small pox mortality had increased 120 per cent. Again, take the average results by decades in the city ofLon- don and We have the following: Decades. Estimated mean Small Pox 1‘opulaliou. deaths. 1551-60 2,570,489 7,150 1361-70 3,018,193 8,347 1871-80 3.436.486 15.551 The last decade shows an increase of 80 er cent. in deaths. These figures are from the Rezistar-Gencml’s returns and show that vaccination has not reduced the mortality from small pox, but the contrary. It. was and is argued, in support of iiifiiiit vaccina- tion, that it was “almost a complch protec- tion against small pox,” but here again the facts are against the theory. Marston’s re- port of llighgute Hospital for 1871 states that “of 950 cases 870 or 91.5 per cent. had been vaccinated," and according to Dr. Nicolson “ there were 43 cases of infants in the lli'omlcy Hospital at one time, all of which had been vaccinated.”- A most re- markable testimony is that of the Privy Councillor, Dr. Muller, of Bci'lin,liimsclf an. advocate of vaccination. in his resords of the smallpox deaths of infants under five years. His report shows that out of 3,552 cases of death 484 or over 40 per cent., were of chil- dren who had been vaccinated. Takiii children and adults together it appears that the percentage of mortality was not greater before vaccination than subsequently. The available hospital records show that from 1723 to 1779 there ii'ci'02~l,99-lcascs in London with 4,707 deaths or 18.83 per cent. From 1536 to 1876 there were 44.984 cases, of which 31.872 were vaccinated, and the deaths were 8,496, or 16.8 pcr cent, which practically 1 cos against the argument of protection from comfort”? gradually Tc‘l‘3‘3ll’8 t ‘3 “0393 or { death by inoculation, inasmuch as in the inorphiu. and substituting bromideof potas- : siuin in inc caning doses.

Of course statistics can be quoted by the advocates of vuccmntion, and what is of more influence on the popular mind, there is a prejudice in its favor, born of the belief that: vam-iiiatvd people txkc the disease in a. milder form than others. But ovun if this were perfectly demonstrable lllt'l'c are still two grave reasons why the vaccination theory slioull not icinaiu further unques- fioucd iiiflic public mind. First, viicciuu- doc: to the prevention of tlicdiscasc. As long as we rely on vaccination to mitigate small-pox | â€"und this is it” it has been shown to do, by .‘ its advocatesâ€"so long will we remain in ; darkness us to its original cause, which we i must know to comm-r it. , Secondly, inocu- 3 latiou must kccp alive other contagious dis- , cases which it might be possible otherwise ito extinguish. In 1808 Dr. Ballard, one of a the Medical Inspectors of London, mcnticn- l cd cascsiu which 171 persons were inoculated E with syphilis through vaccine virus. In 1371 further cvidcucc of this nature was l vivcn before the llousc of Commons by Drs. ‘ollius, l‘cnrcc, llukcwcll, Hutchinson a d ,otficrs. Since the passing of the vaccination Inc: of 1553 the death I'Jtt.‘ from syphilis in 1 England among children uudorf‘ive years has i doubled, while the population has not nearly doubli d. From 1800-04. 6,425 persons died iof this disease of whom 4,504 were under 1 one yearnian from 1870.74. 9,271dicd, of whom 7,009 were uudcr one year, which is the period of infant vaccination. A parlia- liueutary return of 188‘.) shows that in 1347 ‘ when comparatively few were vaccinated l the infant deaths from the disease were only {472 per million : while in 1873 1,851 infants ; out of ii million died from sy liilis. It is ; dillicult to conceive flint till) I iscusc could i have increased four-fold by natural causes other than those connect-:d with i vaccination. Then there are other diseases 3 such fist-phthalmia, skin diseases and tuber- ‘ culoiis consumption which arc propagated to in greater or less uxtcu: by inoculation. Since the contagious uaurc of the last named dis- ease hm become thoroughly understood therc , seems every ground to attribute to iiiocula< itiun n greater preportion of its mortality ‘; than in the case of syphilis.

It is u drcud subject, this privilege, pos- scsion, endowments, of which a. brother man has no shred of a share. There is but One possible principle on which God‘s ways with man in this mstter can be justified, and it is stewardship. God wills that those who have, should hold their gifts in trust for mankind. If God, in making such a world as this meant man to live to himself, then it. is a. horrible world to live in, and there is no escape from the conclusion of a leading school of Hiudoo philosophy, that “creation is a disease, or an abortion of the supreme." But let ministry be the law and the darkness lightens in a moment. Let mun lift and bear the burdens of his brother, as Christ has lifted and borne the burdens of the world, and this earth becomes the theatre of a life whose interests might win the very angelsâ€"nay has won themâ€"for ‘are they not all ministering spirits, scut forth to minister? ” But the sad state of affairs among 11 J, Mr. Editor is, that what measure of ministry to t':e needy existsâ€"even among Cliristians_â€"is so pliarisuicnl. The philanthropy that is in tbiopy. If! a. man or a. woman docs a. deed of charity, if; is too often only in the form of it subscription list, or in some other way “to be seen of men,” and the saddest part is that it is not uncommon for a. man of position, even in the church, to give u. largo couzribution t0 a'liospitul or a church, hill the next day for a much smaller amount, seize an un- fortunate dcbfor by the throat and sfrip him and his family of all. they possess. This thing indeed is so common, and so orthodox that, though Scripture stands an ever-living, but silent testimony against it, I venture to say there is not a. pulpit in Toronto that would dare lift a voice to condemn it. Look at a case now proceeding in the courts, and if: is only a sample of what is common. Awomun is confronted with unfaith- ful stewardship. Slie confesses all at once. The goods she has so .rctczl are given up. but there is no mercy ; not even bail is allow- ed. True her criminality is clear, although the result is not evcu a lnSS to her prosecutor, much less a suicide or u uuu'dcr, such as legal crimes sometimes produce in our city. Pity, Mr. Editor, I sometimes think, but that; the Mosaic code as to stealing were in force, in our Cliruitian country, instead of legal: vengeance, which is costly to tho community I and often of little value to the from. The Mosaic code for stealing “as that a. thief should i'cstorc, cvon double, or fourfold, ac- cording to the nature of the casc. Then, Solomon says, “men'do not dispisc a thief, if he steal to satisfy his hunger; but if he be found, he shall restore fourfold.” How much of this world’s groaning and suffering could be turned into ‘joy if wealthy men u'Ould take a. lesson ficm Geo.

As we pointed out last week. there is a good deal of inconsistency in the sgi- tation raised by the people ovasnitobn about the Railway act dissllowance. Yet there is a respect in which they arenot only consistent but entitled. to the sympathy of the peoplecf all the rest of the Dominion. While it is true that when the charter was before the House, comparatively little was heard from Manitoba against the Pacific Railway scheme-on which, indeed, the whole future life of the Province then seemed to them to dependâ€" ct' there are u'ew elements of population t mt have sub. sequently come into the account, making this complete change of fro it easy of expla- nation. Two-thirds of the present popula- tion of Manitoba have gone in since the grantitc of the Canada. Pacific charter. They are chiefly from Ontario, and it is safe to say ‘llut the majority while resident here were opposed to the monopoly granted to that company. It now being to the in- terest of the Province to secure as much railway competition as possible, in order to ciieapon freitvlits, they are not likely to fch conscience-bound by the terms of acompact to which so many of them were individual- ly opposed on principle. Consideiing these facts and recognizing the interest which settl is as well as speculators have in keep- up the present rate of increase in value of North-\Vcst property, their indignation at being deprived of fresh railway competition can easily be understood. While we can make every allowance for strong feeling on this subject throughout the North-West, we cannot overlook the fact that a. compact was made by the Dominion deliberately stipulating these conditions that are now sought to be broken. The question is, must the Pacific Railway contract be broken at so early a stage, or must the people of Maui- toba submit to an irritating monopoly? The Manitoba Legislature has been dissolved and an immediate appeal is to be made to the people of that Province. The situation is serious enough, and we can only implore those in authority not to lose their reason or their sense of right and fairness when they come to meet each other in the dis- pute. .__. . Tuberculous Consumption. T he first symptom of this dire disease is a. backing cough, not unlike the single tick of a. clock. This should not be disregarded, though the family physician, who wishes to be agreeable, explains that if; is caused by an “irritation of the throat." or by “indiges- “dyspcpsia” etc. Ithn this cough is first noticed, (lead food cells,or “pus” has already infiltrated through the capillaries forming accumulations of this dead matter, which being rievii up or “encysted” in the cartillagiuous tissue which is derived from the blood cells. This is the material used in the vital economy to separate all foreign substances, as bullets, etc., from the normal surrounding tissue, holding the for- eignsubstancc in the centre, while the ex- ternal surface is attached to the surrounding structures, as in the aponeursbsis of a. tendon and muscle. At the first intimation, the ti'culiuent must be prevention, and consists in eating two moderate meals of raw fruit, wolf ripcn~ ed, with a. little plain porridge or unleuvcucd brown bread. This, with an abundance of exercise in pure fresh air, will enlarge the air cells of the lungs, thus affording the proper vitalizatiou of the food cells which have become the chylc corpusclcs, and which are ultimately to become. the “blood corpus- clcs,” whose oflice it is to build up and sus- tain the system. This rational method‘ will result; in the rcinOval by absorption of much of the tuberculous deposit, and will so lesson the dangers of suppuratimi as to ensure a certain recovery. Great care should be taken as to quantity. If the food taken is tco much all will be lost, as it cannot receive its normal vital endowment, and will then augment the tuberculous deposit. 1f all drugs and specific rcincdics were Iabuudoncd, and this simple, (uilz‘ medical plan were adopted, in the iiicipicncy of this disease, no one need die of consumption, as it is the casich to prevent of all iimladics.

The Sanitary Magazine says : “ Nothing is more reprehensible and thoroughly wrong than the idea. that n. woman fulfils 1101‘ duty by doing an amount of work far beyond her strength. She not only does not fulfil her duty. but 3118 most signally fails in it, and the failure is truly deplorable. If the work of the household cannot; be accomplished by order, system, and moderate work, with- out the necessity of wearing, heart-breaking toil, then for the sake of humanity let the work go. The woman who spends her life in unnecessary labor is, by this very labor, unfitted for the highest duties at home. She should be the haven of rest to which both husband and children turn for peace and refreshment. She should be the careful, intelligent adviser and guide of one, the ten- dcr confidante and helpmato of the other. How is it possible for a woman exhausted in bodyâ€"us a. natural consequence in mind alsoâ€"to perform either of these ofliccs? Ilcr dispositionis ruined, licr tcmpcr is soured, her very nature has changed by the burden which, too heavy to curry, is dragged along as long as wcuricd feet and tired bands can do their part. Even her affections urc blunted and she becomes merely anincliiucâ€" a xvi-man without the time to bo womanly. u The False Prophet of the Soudan claims to mother without the time to train and guide be an Indian Mahdi; or the last; prophet Allah will send to conquer the enemies of Islam and rule supreme over the world. To such a. person all Moliummcdans would kneel and serve. The Sultan himself would cease to think of the Caliphate iu the presence of such a. pofcutatc and representative of Allah on earth. The Indian Mahdi is to come, according to Molimumcdan belief, accompanied with great signs and wonders, and he will appear shortly before the Judgment Day. He comes on a white horse, and at the head of an army all mounted on white horses. This bears a strong rcacmblaiico to the Kulki Avit-r of the Hindus, which is to make its appearance on a white horse, and when the white horse stamps his foot the black age is ‘ to end, and the golden age will begin again. There have been many pretenders to this i character in the East, and the Indian bazaars I luring the mutiny often had wondrous l tales of his appearance leading his army of . white horses. 6 Khartoum, of which he is said to bo abso- lute master, is about 900 miles in a direct ' line from Cairo, and perhaps 1,000 miles fol- l lowing the winding of the Nile. The town is the principal place in that region ;and is situated among palm trees on the western hunk of the Bulir‘el-AZcrk, or the Blue Nile' This is close to the junction of that branch with the Balir-cl-Avid, or the White Nile. It is this position at the union of the two main branches of the Egyptinu river which gives Khartoum its stmtegicul importance, jnnd made it long the headquarters of the slave trade in upper Egypt.
