Tns proprietors of the Augusta Chron

Tsied to Evade the Quarantine.
The Chronicle has the following: On the
inooming train of the Georgia Railroad,
last Tuesday, was a party who, in re
sponse ft the usual questions from the
quarantine officer, informed the latter
that he had not been outside of the StatQ
of Georgia. Upon thi3 representation he
was permitted to enter tho city, hpt he
afterwards stated to people in Augusta
that he had jast come from Chattanooga,
where he bad been offered three dollars a
day to remain os a nurse, but declined to
risk bis life for that sum. He obtained a
pass from the Mayor of Augusta a short
time since, representing that ho intended
to go to Memphis as a nurse. He only
went aa far as Canton, however, and
then turned- back. Upon lsarning yes
terday morning what tho man said, Mayor
Merer had him arrested, and kept at the
City Hall during the day. In the even
ing ho left on the passenger train of the
Charlotte, Colombia and Augusta Blit-
read, for Columbia, South Carolina, hav
ing been notified that he would not be al
lowed to remain in Augusta.
The Albany News denies the statement
made, by tho organ of Dr. Felton, atCor-
tersville, that Captain Tete Smith en-
dorsrs'the Doctor’s candidacy, on the au
thority Of Captain S, himself, who, it
says,.“denounces, in tho severest terms,
all -Fehonites, or others, who dare at
tempt to divide the Democrats of-the
State.”
Gen. Cook spoke at Hawkinsville last
Saturday. The Dispatch Bays:
It is needless to say that General
Cook’s course has been entirely satisfac
tory to bis constituents, when he has not
in a single instance proved recreant to
the trusts reposed m him or forfeited the
confidence of the people he so ably and
faithfully represents.
Gen. Cook’s views in regard to tho
financial questions now before the people
ore eminently sound and correct. He
believes that the only way to bring about
reform and retrenchment in our govern
mental affairs is in the success of the
Democratic party, and be deprecates all
movements calculated to weaken the
Democracy. His speech was well re
ceived, and be may rest assured of a
hearty support from tie voters of Pa-
laeki.
Tee er.tno paper casually remaiks that
“if the supporters of Arnold are not sat
isfied with tho platform adopted by the
convention that nominated Col. Ham
mond, they will cot be satisfied with any
thing less than an ignominious defeat at
the polls in November next, and such they
will (cost assuredly receive.”
Tfli; Dispnteh is “informed that Mr. A.
J. Brown, of Pulaski, picked 1,336 pounds
u f seed cotton—first pioking—from one
and one-halt seres, and that he picked
456 ponnds of the above from one-fourth
of an sore of the same patch.”
The Kev. D. W. Hunter, of Wilcox
county, while spending last F,iday night
with a friend at Hiwkinsville, had his
pocket picked of eleven dollars, by a thief
who'entered the room and went through
his trousers.
Rav. B. C. Greek’s gin-house in Wil
kinson .county, together with four bales
of cotton, was burned by an incendiary

Last. Monday, as we learn from the

thrown from hie horse while creasing a
bridge near Toombsboro, and had his
nose bioken and his body generally and

Willful Mukdeb.—On the 10th of
September a number of gentlemen col
lected at Barker’s mill, in tho Western
part of this county. The purpose of the
meeting was to fish and seine the pond,
After seining up the pond and return
ing to tho mill, tome of the party con
cluded to quit seining, while others de
termined to make another haul. At this
junotnre two young men, Mr. David S.
Barker and Mr. Amon Cariker, uncle and
nephew, condnded to wrestle. They took
a fall, whioh resulted in the uncle, Mr.
Barker, throwing the nephew, Mr. Can
ker,The fall produced come feeling on
the port of Mr. Cariker, and he struck
his rincloin the mouth. Mr. Barker re
turned the blow, and the contest ended
by Mr. Cariker saying to his uncle that
he would shoot him. Heat once crossed
the bridge to the gin house, : and mounted
a male bareback, saying that he was go
ing to get a gun and shoot Barker. Mr.
J. C. Willis begged him to desist, but
Cariker rode up to Mr. Josh Hamlet'e,
about three-quaitex’o of ft mile distant,
and asked him to lend him a gnn to kill
a hawk: Mr. Hamlet let him have the
gun, and he rode back. Mr. J. C. Willis
bad gone to Mr. Barker and notified him
of his life being thieatened, and Mr. Car-
iker was seen coming up with a gun. Mr.
Willis Btarted towards Mr. Cariker, with
the purpose of preventing the shooting.
Mr. Barker ran behind a house near by
ani. Cariker pursued him. Instead of
pursuing him around the house, Cariker
proceeded in the opposite direction to
meet -him. As they were about to meet,
Barker turned, and onr informant tbinks
Cariker fired as he tarned, lodging fifty-
odd shot in Barrel’s bip and Bide. Mr.
Willla reached Cariker at this time, as

Rape Near Dadkvilli, Alabama.—
List Saturday the community of Dade-
ville, Alabama, was thrown into a fever
of excitement by the startling intelli
gence that a seven year old girl had been
raped near chat town. It seems a gen
tleman, a prominent citizen of the coun
ty, had left bis family in charge of one of
Lis tenant?, a white man about folly
years ot age, who, it is alleged, raped
the, gentleman’s little seven year old
daughter. The man was arrested, and
is now in jail awaiting preliminary exam
ination, which will take plaoe next Mon
day. The community is very much out
raged over the affair. The perpetrator
.has a wife and eight children.

Why They Will Vote eob Him.—The
Atlanta Republican of the 18th says of the
contest in the Seventh District that tho
Republicans are mostly committed to Dr.
Felton’e support, and “will vote for him
in spite of his record, in order that they
may split the party in the district, and
break up its organization—an organiza
tion so compact and solid that so long as
it remains unbroken will utterly prevent
Republican reorganization, the promul
gation of Republican ideas, and the ac
complishment of any Republican work. >
The Marietta Journal seems o have
queer ideas of what constitute intelli
gence, a3 it says an “intelligent citizen of
that county says he is going to vote for
Felton because his taxes were so much
higher than formerly.”
Mbs. Jabez Thomson, with a very evi

Anotheb MubdeBjAlLtWob Fun.—Un
der this head,the Sandefeville Herald ti.as
the following: '
We learn tUH a sad tragedy has occur
red in Baldwin county, resulting in the
death of a negro ’ boy, which like the
shooting of the colored boy, Will Wilson,
a few weeks ago, was all for fun. A
party of colored boys met together and
held a meek court, all daly organized
with judge, jury, lawyers, witnesses, etc.
One of their number was fried for some
offense, witnesses examined, speeches
from the lawyers, charge of the jndge
delivered, and a verdict rendered by the
jury of guilty. The sentence of death
was pronounced by the judge, and a rope
was immediately placed around tbe neck
of the criminal, and thrown over some
place to secure it, and the culprit made
to stand upon a chair. The chair was
then removed and the victim left dang
ling in the air until life was extinct. The
youthful members of the court affirm
they would have taken him down, but he
did not tell them to do so, and they sup
posed he was kicking bis feet about for
sport. He, however, was donbtless so
strangled as to be unable to speak.

The same poper gives “Farmer” Ar.
nold, the Independent candidate for Gol-
grees in the Atlanta distriot, the follow
ing send off:
Onr friend Christopher, of tbe Atlanta
Phonograph, delights to call the indepen
dent candidate for Congreri? in the Fifth
Distriot “Farmer Arnold.” In the last
Phonograph, we find a sketch of Mr. Ar
nold. It says he was born in Tennessee,
"practiced law many years’’—presumably
until the war; -entered the amy; fought
till the close of the war; moved to Atlan
ta and stayed there till 1876, when he
bought a farm in fonr miles of that city,
and has been engaged in stock-raising
ever since. This constitutes the thinnest
farmer we ever heard of. Been raising
stock ever einee 18761 Ho is about as
much a farmer a3 Ben Butler is a work
ing man. If the farmers in the Fifth dis
trict can be fooled by snoh a flimsy pre
text as this, we greatly mistake them.
Let Mr. Arnold run for Congress, if he
wants to; but for th3 sake of common-
sense do not attempt to palm him off as a
farmer, if the Phonograph’s sketch of
him is correot. Yonr genuine farmer—
he of the brown hands and brawny mus
cles-—does not go abont trying to inince
people to vote for him on a fiotitions is
sue.

The LaGrange Reporter relates the
following incident of the late Newnan
Convention:
A Harris man—a farmer—was ap
proached by one of the opposition, in
the Newnan Convention, with the re
mark: “Your Bide is evidently weakening.
Give np Harris; let us compromise and
go home to attend to onr business.”
The reply was: “I know my business
needs me. My fields are white with cot-
tor; bnt I’ll stay here in this court
house and be toted out piece-meal, by the
ants, through tho key-hole, before I’ll
give up.”
Judos David Ibwin, of Cobb county,
emphatically smashes a report that he
favors Felton for Congress ia a
cud published in the Constitution. He
ssyB he is for Lester, and intends to show
his faith by bis works.
The Constitution photographs the Geor
gia Greenback patriots in this artistic
style. We have never seen a better like
ness. It says:
The leaders of this movement pretend
to be so sincerely in favor of financial
reform that they cannot wait for the De
mocracy to sncceed and cannot trust
their pet theories in its hands. The
truth is, they care less for tbe suc.’eia of
greenbackism than they do for their own
personal success. They are ambitions.
They want cffice. They want place.
They thirst for the salary of a Congress
man and refuse to be comforted in an
other wey. In their gre& for office they
are willing to compass even the ruin of
the Democratic party, although they
know that the defeat of the Democracy
means the defeat of the .greenback move
ment. They may sucoeed in deluding a
few, bnt in the end there will not be an
honest voter in the country that will not
deplore the movement. It is utterly
without the shadow of an excuse.
The Meriwether Vindicator says “on

the Bleeping room of Mr. Hardeson, of
that place, last Tuesday night, and stole
a trunk containing valuable papers and

The Washington Gazette has the fol
lowing: . ;
"Early in the year 1873, many of onr
citizens camo to -the knowledge of tho
fact that the stock in the Tailassee cot
ton factory, located on the Tallapoosa
river, near Montgomery, Ala., was paying
an annual dividend of eighteen per cent.
Of course this had the appearance of be
ing a fine opportunity for an investment,
and a number of our citizens accordingly
invested, taking stock to the amount of
abont eighty thousand dollars. In De
cember following the factory failed, and
the stockholders lost every dollar they
had invested. Since then it has been in
the hands of a receiver. It was adver
tised to be sold on the 16th instant, and
Mr. W. Chose, of onr town, attended the
sale in Montgomery, and bid off the prop
erty at $250,000. He then telegraphed
to men here, asking their aid in raising
a cash payment of $65,000; hence the
the excitement which prevailed here last
week.
Several gentlemen from hero went to
Montgomery immediately, but did not
invest, and the property falling on Mr.
Chase’s hands he disposed of it to the
best advantage to outside parties. Some
of the purchasing party who went to
Montgomery came back happy and cov
ered with smiles; while there are otners
each of whom seemed to have a ilea in
his ear, and they will not talk abont Tal-
Iassee.
Alluding to Senator Thurman’s visit
to Hacon, during the State Fair, the Ga
zette says i
We are glad to know it, and hope many
of our people will hear him, for he is the
peer of aiiy man in the Union as aatatee-
znan. Ho wants one of tho places on the
Democratic Presidential ticket in 18S0,
and deserves the choice of the two. He
deserves the nomination none the less be
cause he desires ic, for his modesty is by
no means tbe smallest trait of bis noblo
character. A man Better qualified for
the executive chair could not be found in
thirty-nine States. His Democraoy is as
pure as his personal character. •

The Thomasville Times is rough on the
Newnan convention for adjourning with

It says:
We will not say that the members of

asses of themselves, though they exhib
ited enough stubbornness to merit the
appellation. One thing is apparent, they
did not do their duty or a compromise
would have been effected and a nomina
tion made. As tbe Democratic majority
in the next House will be sufficiently
large anyhow, we do not know bnt that it
would be a good thing for tho Radicals to
elect a man in the Fourth. It would
learn them a lesson which they
would not likely forget. Let the
Fourth send a Radical to the 46th
Congress, and we’ll guarantee the next
Democratic nominating convention which
meets in that distriot, does net break np
in a disgracefnl squabble. Yes, we’re
very much inclined to the opinion that

onght to be represented for the next two
years by tbe dirtiest Radical in the dis

A Mysterious Woman In WblCe
who Vanishes when She Is
Approached^
Gatekeeper Drew, posted at the Seven
ty-fifth street entrance of Central Park,
saw on Thursday night a tall woman
dressed in white coming toward him.
Astonished at seeing a woman etrolling
at so late an hour in the Park he went
toward her. t-When be was within ten
paces of her she disappeared. A moment
later Gatekeeper Drew heard an alarm
whistle from the direction of the Ram
ble, and running* up, ho found Officer
James McCormack 'thoroughly frighten
ed. McCormack told Drew that a tall
woman, dressed in white, had passed
quickly by him, and that, thinking she
was a somnambulist, he had attempted to
stop and she disappeared. Hardly had the
officers compared notes before three shrill
alarm whistles were blown m succession.
The officers responded, andm6t Officer
Rusaell, who seemed exhausted. He
told them that while in the Eastern Drive,
he saw the tall figure of a woman walk
ing rapidly toward him. It crossed tho
paths, and darted behind the trees and
bushes. Thinking it was an insane
woman he chased her. Jast as be was
about to lay bis hands on ber she die-
apneared.
Two gentlemer, while i .ting on a bench
near the lake, saw the next evening the
form of an extraordinarily tail woman

keeper. A few minutes later an alarm
sounded from the Arbor, where Offioer
Sheehan had given chase to a tall woman
dressed in white, who had disappeared
on his gaining up to her. Officer Shee
han reported to Sergeant England that
he had seen the woman twice. Detective
Tullyalso saw the woman, and gave

Tiie SonfD Carolina Railroad-
Powers and Dntles or the Re
ceiver.
Charleston Now* anfi Courier.]
The order of Judge Bond appointing
Mr. John H. Fisher, of New York, Re
ceiver of the South Carolina Railroad, is
published to-day. This order requires
Mr. Fisher to give bond in the sum of
$100,000 for the faithful discharge of his
duties. Upon filling the bond he will
take possession of the South Carolina
Railroad and continne to run and operate
it for the common carriage of freight and
passengers, keeping tbe property in good
condition, to the end that the Road may
be operated efficiently and with safety to
the pnblic. The Rsceiverjhas authority
to employ, pay and discharge all needful
laborers, agents and attorneys, to pur
chase and pay for all neccessary supplies,
to make traffio arrangements, to pay
taxeB, to prosecute and defend all existing
actions by or against the Company, and
actions hereafter brought, but shall pay
and expend co more than shall be ordered
by tbe Court.
An inventory of the property shall be
taken apd filed, and “within tun days
after the expiration of every month of
his Receivership” the Receiver shall
render and file an account of bis acts and
doings, and shall have liberty to pass his
accounts, from time to time, before Col.
W. L. Trenholm, who is appointed a
Master for that pnrpose. The Receiver
is not responsible for the wrongful act3
of bis servants and agents, and shall not
in any case incur any personal or indivi
dual liability ia tbe operation of the
railroad, by reason of any act done by
him as Receiver.
Until the Receiver 'shall actually take
posseession of the property, the officers
and agents of the South Carolina Rail
road are enjoined from disposing of any
of the property, except in the payment
of the necessary daily operatingexpenses;
and all money now in possession of the
company, and whioh may come into its
possession, except what is needed for
necessary operating expenses, shall be
deposited in tbo First National Bank.
The Receiver is authorized to audit and
gay off claims for wages due, and un
paid, within sixty days from tho date of
the order appointing a Receiver.
The defendants, whose names are
given, are enjoined from taking any etep
toward tbe enforcement oE any lien
secaredby bonds* issued and ownedby
the Company, or by a pledgo of the in
come of tho Company; and they ate en
joined from disposing of or parting with
any bonds or coupons which they hold in
pledge, and as collateral security, for the
payment of money dne and owing to them
by tbe South Carolina Railroad Company.
This order, we presume, is in the gene
ral form, giving the Receiver complete
power and authority to carry on the road,
under the direction of the Court, and
the provisions for the safe-ke6ping and
proper application of the money received
on account of the road appear to be such
as will effectually prevent abuse or waste.
The representatives of the defendants in
the action will watch vigilantly over the
expenditures proposed to be made, and
without the order of the Court, after
notice to counsel, no money can be paid
out except for ordinary expense?, for
wages and for taxes.
No order is made to pay tho interest
on the First Mortgage bonds, bnt this
order will be made as eoon as any money
is in hand beyond what is required for
operating the Road and paying tax®?.
The First Mortgago interst comes next
m rank, and, as the Road is likely to do
an unusually large business, there is a
confident belief that tbe past-due coupons
on the First Mortgage bonds (than which
there is no better security, at the price,
in the United States) will be paid very
speedily.
It will bo noted with mnch satisfaction
that Col. Trenholm is appointed a Mat
ter to pass the accounts of the Receiver.
The proper discharge o£ the duties of the
Master demands a 'large experience, as
well as extensive information and the
highest personal integrity. In norospect
could abetter selection have been made,
and we doubt that any other wool 1 give
equal assurance that the public interests
ot Charleston and tho State, as well ss
the private interests of those who have
claims against the Road, will be protected
and conserved.

“Presidential candidates are tbe results

The strength of tbe Greenbaok party will

Tire Cameron Burglary Attain-
Eatonton, Ga., Sept. 25, 1878.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In
looking over yonr paper of the 24th inst.
I observe the following artiole :
“The Madison Journal is gratified to
learn that Col. Lawson’s individual loss
by the late robbery of his safe will not be
so large ss first reported. It bears ‘that
he lost $300 in oash, two bonds on the
South Georgia and Florida railroad Nos.
275 and 27C, endorsed by ex-Governor
Bnilook, $1,000 each, and $2,700 worth
of noteB on various parties. None of
this amount save the $300 is sn absolute
loss.’ ”
This implies that tbe first report of (be
burglary, as to tbe extent of tbe Ios3 was
not trne in point of faot; and os the only
authentio report of the loss must have
first come from me, the inference is that
my statement thereof was also nntrne in
point of fact.
I have no idea that the accomplished
editor of the Journal intended to do in
justice to me, bat he has evidently been
imposed upon. Who was his informant
nod where did the latter obtain his facts ?
He certainly did not get them from any
reoord or paper conneotod with the oase,
for no snob conclusion can be derived
from qpy ono of them. I am relnotant
to believe tbat any one is attempting to
falsify tho facte, and to produce an lm
pressicn injurious to me upon tbe public
mind
The affidavit and warrant on which the
burglar, (Cameron) was arrested, states
tbe loss to be "more than $5,000 in cur
rency of the property of deponent and the
Eatonton Branoh Railroad, and railroad
bonds and promissory notes, the property
of deponent, of the value of $20,000, as he
believee.”
The .evidence before the committing
court states, in one part, the loss of tho
Eatonton Branch Railroad to be $5,073;
the I033 of Mrs. T. to be $20; as to my
own property, the loss of valid genuine
bonds, $2,000; notes and mortgages,
$<30,000, or more; and “other money be
longing to myself and other parties—a
large amount—I know not what.” In
another part of the same evidence the
loss, as telegraphed to different points, is
stated to be $6,000 in money and $20,000
in bonds and notes. The writer was a
witness to these facts, and after several
months for reflection the only modi
fication ho would make is that the loss
of the Eatonton Branch Railroad, as
ascertained from a carefnl examination
of the books of the company is placed far
too low.
Cameron afterwards absconded, carry
ing with him, as is supposed, all tho sto
len property, at all events none of it has
yet been recovered.
This is the hiEtory of the case, as to the
loss, in a nut shell. How any sane man,
who respects tbe truth, can affirm upon
this evidence, that my individual loss
will not exceed $300,1 cannot compre
hend. The merest ignoramus knows
that, ordinarily, railroad bonds are pay
able to bearer, and tbat any innocent pur
chaser of them acquires a good title,
though they may have been stolen from a
former owner.
Let it bo borne in mind
that the above testimony has no
connection with a civil procedure be
gan more than a month afterwards. An
attachment was issued against tbe prop
erty of the.bnrglar, in wbiebit was alleged
that he had damaged me $5,000.
The damages were fired at that .sum
beoanse it was supposed that his proper
ty was not worth more than $4,000. The
affidavit on which the attachment issued
stateB that the burglar deprived mo of
‘ more then $300 in money,” of “bonds
worth in the aggregate more than $2,000,
and of promissory notes worth more than
$2,700. It is apparent to the most oasnal
reader tbat the last mentioned affidavit
does not pretend to stato definitely the
loss of any body. It does, however,
state emphatically that my losses were
more than the sums mentioned. The
sums were distributed over the eeveral
classes of stolen property, so as to aggre
gate the amount of damages claim
ed. It appears, furthermore, that
tho Journal’s informant most have
gotten his information from the
affidavit last mentioned. Why did
he suppress the words “more than”
when they occur three times in the affi
davit ? ' What pnrpose had he to aocom-
plish by the suppression of the truth, and
upon what authority does he affirm that
the larceny of the bonds will not result
in loss ? Does he know what disposition
the burglar made of the bonds P
The foregoing has been written with
the original papers bafore me. While
I do not pretend to give the words of the
papers, except as they are embraced in
quotation marks, yet their substance, so
far as respects the matter in hand, is
fully set forth and is absolutely true as
given.
And now, Messrs. Editors, I regret to
trouble you, but as I regard truthfulness
in all men as of supremo value, and as I
consider the ariiclo in the Madison Jour
nal an individual assault upou my loyalty
to that virtue, let t he Journal's informant
bewaro how ho talks and writes.
I trust that you and all others who
may have published the article will do
me tho justice to publish this, and,'with
(hat done, let Cameron and bis misdeeds
pass into oblivion.
Very respectfully, •

. Blaine on State Banks.
Faneuil Hall Spsoch.1
There are three bills pending in Con
gress for restoring the old State banks.
Do you want them back? [A voice—
“No.”] They were very good If the
men behind the counters were honeBt.
The Suffolk system in New England wbb
considered the safest, in that, with all its
safeguards, it was Bimply good if the
men whe run the banks wore good. If
the men behind the counters were dis
honest, it was a fraud upon tho publio.
We had enormous explosions among the
State banks. Twenty-five years ago a
bank in a small town ia Maine failed. It
had taken ont $800,000 in bills fiom the
engraver, and $285,000 of those bills were
ont when tbe bankrolled, and they are ont
yet. State banks that were abolished had
no power to make a note good scarcely be
yond its own borders. You couldn’t pass
a Boston bank bill in Philadelphia—yon
never saw a Philadelphia bank bill circu
lating in Boston. You could not travel
to Chicago on Boston hank money. You
changed it on every State line. Yet I
want to say to my friend tbat, whatever
the currency of the country is, you will
never get rid of banks, and the question
is only to determine what kind of hanks
you will have. If you break down the
national batiks under the cry that they
are a monopoly, yon raise up tho ghost
ot the old State bank just as snr« as fate.
[A voice—" Can’t we have as much
money under tho old Stato banks as
now ?”]
Mr. Blaine—I romembor of hearing of
a man bargainiog for a stock ot timber.
Three prices were offered. One was to
pay in “wildcat.” that was Michigan
money. Another price was in “red-
tag,” which was Ohio money, and the
best offer made was to pay in good coun
terfeits on a solvent bank in New Eng
land.

THEORIES OF A QUARANTINE.
Vfbat Eminent Physicians say of
tbe Barriers Against Yellow
Fever.
Dr. John M. Woodworth, Surgeon-Gen
eral of the United States Marine Servioe,
has addressed a letter to the Medical Re
cord, giving hiB views regarding the inter
nal quarantine and bow it could be made
effeotive in the way of preventing
spread of yellow fever. The experience
of the past, he says, especially as exem
plified in land quarantines against the
spread of cholera, is that they have not
only proved ineffectual, bnt that they have
in some instances added famine to pes
tilence. Where the inducement is great
the quarantine is sure to be broken. The
quarantines established since tbe begin
ning of the present epidemic of yellow
fever have been direoted especially against
persons ooming from infected plaoes.
While so rigid an ordinance was declared
against person, infeoted vessels, like the
John D. Porter and her barges, were per
mitted to ascend the Misaiesippi and Ohio
rivers almoBt without hindrance. * *
And the laws of the United States forbid
the government health authority ffom in
terfering in Euoh oasee..-Evidence war
rants the assertion that yellow fever poi
son is transported by things and not by
person considered apart from their cloth-
ing. In support of thiB statement Dr.
Woodworth oites a number of cases, and
adds: “It a well-known faot that the
nnaoolimated attendants upon the yellow
fever patients at the New York quaran
tine do not contract tbe disease; this 1b
also true of other quarantines. Dr. Yan-
derpoel diainfeots the clothing by means
of fire so there shall be no mistake abont
itj thoroughness.”
The oanolnsion indicates a simplified
quarantine of the clothing npon a person,
baggage in boxes, tranks, valises or hand
bags. The disinfection should be effect
ed just outside an infeoted ci.y, at the
beginning rather than at the end of a
jonrney. When the yellow fever breaks
ont among the resident population of a
city or town all nnaoolimated persons
sbonld be prohibited from entering the in
feoted place, and the nnacolimated resi
dents should be removed to tempoiary
camps on tbe highest available ground, at
east two miles outside of the infeoted lo
cality. Dr. John C. Peters, saye, also In
the Medical Recorder, that “yellow fever
is only occasionally present in the United
Slates,” and he bslievea “it mast be im
ports d and cultivated to gain a strong
foothold here. It arises from a distinct
and speoifio poison whioh frost kills, and
hence the inferenoe that it must be reim
potted into all places where it has once
been destroyed. It seems admitted that
yellow fever, like the typhoid fever and
the Asiatio cholera, oannot be conveyed
direotly from the sick to tho healtnj; bnt
the different discharges from the body
reproduce the disease, whioh then arises
as a miasma or malaria. The prinoipal
prevention of yellow fever is absolute per
sonal cleanliness of the siok, tbeir fami
lies, the nurses, the dootors, and all who
are in attendance. After that, yards,
streets, gutters, drainp, eto., and every
mass of filth—private and civic—should
be attended to.”

you find itneceesiry to purify and cleanse

Wsat it Cost a Party of Aruerl
cans to Spend 155 Days on the
Continent.
C. C. Fulton m the Baltimore Americans
Many of your readers who.have travel
ed with ns on this jonrney will very nat
urally have a desire to know at what ooat
such a European tear oan be made, and
the length of time we gave toeaoh of the
prinoipal oities on the continent. It may
seem to some that onr stay in Rome, or
Naples, or Florence, or Vienna was not
long enough, bnt wo a3snre them that we
viewed everything cf real importance in
all those cities. Wo did not have any
idle days, nor did we halt for rest, or stop
for rain or bad weather. We were al
ways in motion, going to bed tired and
getting np refreshed. Oa the same day
that we entered the ball on the dome
of St. Peter’s, we were down in the
bowels of the earth, exploring the cata
combs, passing on the route the Coliseum
and the ruins of ancient Rome. In the
evening we would take a drive in the
parkB, and at night attend.the operas,
concerts or theaters. In short, we were
on a five months frolic, and every mo
ment was precious and enjoyable. We
flew over the continent singing, rejoicing
and happy, and were everywhere regard
ed as “the jolly Americans.’.’ We never
traveled on Sunday, and this was onr
only day of rest, being all that was de
sired or required.
Wo were absent from New York five
months and one day, or 155 days in oil,
which was spent as follows:
10 days on the ooean.
1 day at Liverpool.
4 days in*London (first visit).
8 days in Paris (first visit).
1 day at Marseilles.
1 dayatNioe.
1 day at Monaco.
1 day at Pisa.
1 day at Genoa.
G days at Romo.
4 days at Naplep.
3 days in Florenoa.
5 days at Venioe.
1 day at Adelsbnrg (oave).
7 days at Vienna,
3 days at Mnniob.
1 day at Bingen.
1 day going down the Rhine.
2 days at Cologne.
3 days at Brussels.
33 days at Paris (second visit).
14 days at London (second visit).
3 days at Edinburgh.
2 days at Glasgow.
1 day at Belfast and Giant’s Causeway!
3 days at Doblin.
2 days at Killarney (lakes).
2 days at Cork,
23 days in railroad travel.'
9 days on the ocean (homeward).
155 days from New York to New York.
It is an admitted faot that the oost of
travel in Europe with a party of ladies
is mnoh heavier than with all gentlemen.
The oost of living m Paris is one-third
higher than ever before. Still we find in
footing np the costs of this extended tour
that it amounts to bnt $946.35 for eaoh
of the’.tonriets, abont six dollars per day.
This includes the ooean passage ont and
home, and nil the expenses of travel, in-
oluding oarriages, guides, fees and opera,
theatres and amusements. We traveled
first class sit the time, with Cook’s tiokete,
stopped et tbe best hotels, made no special
efforts to economize, bnt the most strena
uons efforts to prevent being swindled.
Three or fonr young men, traveling to
gether, ought to make the same tour for
about $800, and with rigid economy at a
still smaller figure. It may bo proper to
add that the whole of onr party were
persistent water drinkers, and although
we were everywhere told that water was
unhealthy, and ice destructive, we stuck
to our favorite beverage, with daily im
proving health and spirits, and entire
freedom from Reman and other fevers.
We think that our combined weight on
returning was fully fifty pounds more
than when we embarked, and that the
increase wks judiciously distributed
among those who needed it most,

There’s a big tub of suds by the aido of the bed
And it sounds down stairs like a fair day.
There’s somebody scrubbing in the up-stairs

And I toe a mop through the winder,
I smells and sounds like it did lost tall;
There’s nobody here that can hinder.”
What to him was love or hope ? «
What to him was joy or care?
He stepped on a plug of Irish soap
The girl had left on the topmost stair.
And his feet flew out like wild, fierce things.
And ho struck each itair with a sound like a
drum:
And the girl below with the scruhhing-thicgs
Laughed, like a fiend to see him come.
For what is life when the heart is dead.
And a man is thumping adown the stiur,
New on hi. hack and now on his head.
1 To land on the legs of an upturned chair?
To clutch with a fierce, unhelping grasp
At the slipping banisters flyinsby? ,
To drop, at the end, with a strangling splash.
In a washtub full of suds and lye?
Better a thousand times and more,
That a man shonld sleep his whole life thro’.
And startle the day with a mighty snore.
And scorn tbo sparkle of morning dew.

With his’outstrecllied hands to foel and grcpc;
To floundor and flop and crawl and creep
