A Disgusted Drummer.
It is a well km»wu in*3t that tlie revenue
has an army of Assessors, o<illeet<»rt», A*'
eistants, C'lerks, Special Agents, etc., in
each and strict, vrho.-e (iutr it i s to see that
Unc e Sum is not cheated out of his “just
deserts,” and that the combined salaries of
these offices is about tuuul to the amount of
revenue they co lect.
A frieud relates the followin'; “little
story,” for the truthfulness ot which we
will not vouch :
I tint a “drummer.” In other wonis. I’m
a traveling clerk for the “Great North
American Tool and Agricultural Implement
Manufacturing Company,” and, as a mut
ter of course, in my various peregrinations
over the country, I brve Suine strange ad
ventures
One evening I drove into the little village
of Smithville. Do p- <i stopped be
fore a mce looking cottage, with tlie owner
of w inch I thought I might be ab e to
“strike a trade.” as the surroundings mdi
caied that a skil!ed*tind enterprising hand
had charge of them
1 shouted “hallo,” and was answered by
tlie propietor in person. I >tated mv busi
ness in as glowing terms as possible, and
wound up hv asking him if lie wanted any
thing: tn my line.
“Well. n<>, he replied : “you see I’m As
sessor of Revenue for this district,
and my duties are such that I have no time
lor anything else ”
“Perhaps your neighbor over tfmre,” said
I, pointing across the way, “would buy a
tew articles?”
“lie? ID’s Assistant Assessor of Intern
al Revenue for this district, and it requires
all his time to attend to his duties. I guess
he wouldn’t buy anything.”
“W ho lives in the next house down
there?” I inquired, hopefully.
“Mr. Smith, Gollectnr of iuternal Reve
nue for this district, lie has no time fur
farming, and. of c *urse would buy nothing
iti that line.”
“Maybe the owner of that fioe mansion
on the hill yonder,” replied 1 solemnly,
“would take t) lew agricultural implements,
as everything around him indicates—”
“Oh, no, stiid he, interrupting me, “he’s
Assistant OMlecGir of Internal Revenue fur
this district, and if he had all the farming
implements in the world he wouldn’t have
time to use ’em.”
“Dues anybody else live in this town ?”
I asked, desparingly, for no other houses
were visible.
“Yes-.” was the reply, “Mr. Jones lives
just beyond the hill yonder: hut he is In
sp ctor of Internal Revenue for this district;
and is never at h >me.”
“Thunder find lightning !” said I warm
ly, “d'es the Revenue Department live
here? Is there a blacksmith in tlie place?
It there is, maybe he w..uld like some Df
our tools.”
“Mr. Simmons was our blacksmith, hut
he received tlie appointment of A-sistant
Inspector ot internal Revenue for this dis
trict last week, and in coris> quence of which
he has closed his shop for the present.”
“Is there a man in this vill ge who is not,
connected writ!) the internal Revenue of this
district ?”
I a-ked this question as sarcastically as
possible, and with a faint—very faint
glimmering us hope.
‘Well, yes, there is the postmaster, but
he is expected to receive a commission as
Inspector of Brandies and Whisk vs f t this
district. I think it is useless to go to him.”
“Where is the hotel ?” I asked, disgusted,
e have none It hasbeen changed to
a bonded warehouse for this district.”
“Do yuu collect enough revenue in this
district to pay yourselves?' I asked, for
information this time.
“No, sir, w e do net; but other districts
collect more than enough. 'Their surplus
is appropriated to till uur deficiency. Thus
things are equal zed. Don’t you see the
philosophy of it ? What would the govern
ment be without a revenue ? Good evening,
sir ”
He left, and so did I. Up to this time I
have failed to see the “philosophy of it.”
Small Pox.
At this time when small pox is prevailing
to a considerable extent in many p..rti ms
of the country, it is important to understand
the most reliable preventive as well as
curative measures in its management.
Small p f x is pr ipagated hv specific c rifa
gion or miasm, and by direct innoculation
of the virus or lymph which accumulates
in th-* pustules. 'Die miasma of small pox
is multiplied by heat, moisture and foul air.
Thus, a small quantity of the malaria in a
hot damp, and filthy t ouse. will increase so
rapidly that the entire build ng will soon
become a magazine of poison. Tin? poison
can not develop itself in a pure and drv
atmosphere, hence, the first and most im
portant preventive means of this Uaihsome
disease is to remove all filth and moisture
from dwellings. The second preventive
measure consists in keeping the functions
of the lady active, This can be accom
plished by avoiding excesses, by baths, a
regular diet, and strict attention to cleanli
ness in every respect. Third by vaccina
tion v hen properly performed. The best
lympth to be used f-.r vaccinating is that
which 13 prepared in Germany and import
ed in quids. ]r should be introduced bv
slightly tcarafyirtg the arm r.r calt ol the
Dg, (not sufficiently to draw blood) and ap
plying the lymph, allowing it to remain
until it is entirely dry. If the first appii
cati. n does noT take effect it should be
repeated every two or three davs. In order
to have vaccination certainly protective
against small p' x it must pr-duce the fol
lowing constitutional symptoms : light rain
in the head; sidling oi the muscles ; chilly
sensations, and some fever, together with
the development of a we 1 defined pustule,
which will appear fir.-t, as a ema f blister,
then fill with gr-iyish lymph, will drv and
become of a mahogany color, and, upon
scaling < ff', will leave a pit It flammation
may appear arou -d the pustule, but as that
occurs frequently as the result of the geari.
fvirig, it is not a positive indication that the
vaccine disease has been perfectly develop
ei. If he vaccination has been perfect the
