According to reports from Norfolk, it seems tin t while the epidi mi,- of small? pox In that city is still well in hand. there are many features In cor.fion with the matter that are of a discour? aging nature and which should place the health autli rities of this city upon their guard. Ii is to be hoped that it will be unnecessary to quarantine against the city across the Roads. That would entail untold annoyance and much hiss upon thi- social and commercial inter? ests that bind the two cities so closely together. If tin- necessity becomes apparent, however, there should bo no hesitat? ing. There would In- no less annoyance and loss involved in quarantining against Norfolk than in having all the other cities of the country quarantine against Newport News. Ther,- is no necessity for ill-advised haste in reference to the matter. Inn every wise precaution necessary to pro? tect the health of Newport News should be adopted. Unless the Board ..I Health already has sufficient power in regulate all cases that would naturatlv crime under their jurisdiction in the event of an epidemic they should be gl veil full authority to handle all matters affect? ing the public health. "Too many cooks would spoil the broth" in a ease of that kind jus: as surely as in any A prominent Frenchmen who was in New York about two months ago offer? ed a newspaper reporter on one pf the metropolitan dailies a trip to Europe or almost any other old thing be felt like asking for in the event that Dreyfus should lie granted a rehearing inside of three months. This French visitoi felt sure that Count Estcrhnzy was a perfect gentleman and thai tin- prison? er of Devil's Island would remain in "ohfinement to serve out his semen??.' or imprisonment for life.. N v.\ if this talkative Gaul is a man of i:'-: word, he will find a rather annoying promise in his way when he returns I > Gotham after his poivgririallc < through the wild and uncivilized sec? tions of the United States. However, since experience should have taught him th.it he was treading on dangerous ground In depending upon French sta? bility, It is difficult to feel any sympa? thy fur him in his misplaced confidence. History shows that France is as unsta? ble as lb..- wind and tin- man who wag? ers that any condition of affairs will remain in force for forty-eight hours .In the French republic is taking a fool. Ish risk. It is announced thai Mr. Marcus Man na will make several speeches in the ciSfiS districts in the Buckeye St.-it.-. and it is further announced thai he has been preparing notes for these ad dresses that are to help the K< publicans in his nativ.- State stem ihe tide at iln coming election. The denomination of the notes has n .1 yet been definitely given out. The authorities at Washington have been officially Informed that there are now no mines in the harbor of Havana.
