Nichols,of La., has another child reported d"ingfrom a relapse : after convalescence with fever—a bright youth of fourteen. He lost one child qe uit y, at his plantation in Lafourche. The sympath ies of the city und the country at large are with him in his hour of trial. He has shown him self generous and helpful,full of deepest corcern for bis afflicted people. He has sent the people in Lafourche parish $22o, besides his contribu tions elsewhere. Canton again appeals for help, asking tor pro- Jillic! anil lu*r Xmtse.—Modjeska’s Juliet is praised as the very embodiment of Shakpeare's exquisite creation. Bat we will not. believe it, till we have occnlar proof. The fair Countess is too much a creature of art and training, she is not spontaneous and full hearted nor naturally gifted enough to portray to the life the romantic and ardent daughter of the Capulets. Mary Anderson’s Juliet, although not devoid of faults, is apt to be a mors fresh and natural conception of a young girl in love for the first time, with the warm blood of the ‘Summer land’ in her veins that are throbbing with the inrocentand artless impulse of earliest girlhood. For it must he remembered, Shaks- peare s -J uliet is only fourteen. And by the way, why is it that the nurse of Juliet is always rep resented on the st ge as on old decrepit woman, shaking with palsy, and bending under the weight of years ? As girls in Laly marry at fourteen and fif:een usually, aud are mothers a year latter, the prooability is that when the woman in question was wet-nurse to Juliet she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. There fore, when the play opens, she would bo thirty or thirty-one years old—hardly middle aged, evtn in that climate where women ripen early aud begin to fade while thoRe of more northern latitudes are hardly in their prime. Even if the woman was thirty-five when she was Juliet's nurse, she would not at the beginning of the piay, be the decrepid scarecrow which is the popular stage idea-a bleary, blotched object, which it revolts one to s a e Juliet kissing and fondling. * I visions, clothing, and money to bs sent to W.J. Mosby, President of the Howard Association. At Pass Christian, Pattersonvillo, Delta, and other Louisiana towns, the fever was reported spreading. We earnestly hope that the cool i weather and north winds now prevailing wilt put the terrible disease to rout. The Howards | navesenta relief train to the fever-afflicted towns ! in Tennessee and Alabama, with physicians, medicines, nurses and supplies. They found two hundred cases ot fever at Chattanooga, one ! hundred at Decatur, Alabama. In Germantown, Tenn., there were five deaths from fever on Monday the 14‘.h. One of these we are grieved to learn was our valued contrib- i utor, Miss Sillie Heneau. She was well known j throughout the Siuthas an energetic and effi cient teacher instructing by methods of her own—and a correct and seusible writer. Her i mind was practical and systematic, She was capable of earnest attachments, as well as of strong prejudices. She was thorough and con scientious in all her work, and dearly loved her j profession of teacher. Only a week before her death she had written our Senior a bright, hope- J ful iet'er, full of herowu breizy energy, accept- i ing his proposal that she should take charge of an instructive department in the ‘Boys & Ghils.’ ‘That I will,’ she wrote. ‘I will write just such things, and in just such a way as 1 talk when carrying oat one part of my weekly school program. I will so wrap instruction in pleas ant illustration ana familiar colli quial language that it will commend itseif to youthful minds.’ She added in a postscript. ‘The yellow fever paaic has just seized our town, and it is being rapidly depopulated. Friends are coming in to see me, urging me to refugee forthwith, but I think I shall stand by my colors. I may find an opportunity of being of use.’ Mrs. Mary J. Messenger, of Memphis, anofher of our contributors, whose pleasant and tender little stories have won her friends in many a Southern household, has suffered terribly from the fever, and is now in a strait that appeals to the sympathies of ail. She writes ns from Pulton.Ga.. where she bus tied from tha ha,rroi'a of Memphis (after the fever had carried away three members of her family) with her husband in broken health and three young children. She had established a primary and junior school in Memphis, which was well patronized; but her husband has determined never to return to that city; his health forbids it. She sees winter approaching, knows she must do something to help her family and asks anxiously where she can find, in this city, or in some other healthy locality, employment for her talents, as teacher, writer, bookkeeper -any position that a lady of culture and industry could fill. ‘I have will and determination tor anything,’ she writes. She gives as reference, T. E. Hanbury of the Cartersville Express, Hon. John Logue, ex-Mayor of Memphis, Dr. Sims and Rev. Dr. Landrum, of Memphis. There is no heart that will not sympathize with this lady in the strait to which unavoid able misfortune has brought her. Such misfor tune may befall us all. The divine injunction, ‘Bear ye one another’s burdens’has a reactive sig nificance, and ‘in helping others we help our selves.’ Some one of our many readers may have it in their power to offer a helpful suggest ion to a lady, whom we have every reason to be lieve most worthy and capable. The Peabody Association of New Orleans has established a society of fifty ladies to be known as the Lady’s Peabody Clothing Society, whose duty it will be to distribute the clothing that has been so abundantly donated to the suffering poor of the city. Mrs. Hanghery was unani mously elected president of the society, and in his letter apprising this lady of her election, the president of the Peabody Association says: ‘the poor wiil be doubly blessed in having as their almoner, one who is recognized throughout this state as one of God's noblest works.’ * Kraut i III I Women.—The most beanti. ful woman I know is on the shady side of thirty. Yes, there are lines of time on her face, but they are all noble lines. They tell of self con quered, of love, charity, usefulness. I knew the face when it was in the bloom of seventeen; but with all its color and smoothness it was not so lovely as now. The mouth was like wet coral, but it had not that tender smile; the eyes were brilliant, but they lacked those soulful depths; the very hands had not the expressiveness, the grace and refinement that they now possess, ihe girl was beautiful; the woman is something more. She is charming. She has lived her year a usefully, nobly; has . . made the best of time And Time returns the compliment Ly treating her genteelly. She has lived hygeinically too. She has respect for her physical organization. The olear skin, the white teeth, plentiful hair bright eyes tell you this woman has never raged nature by tight lacing, hot suppers, pastries, close, overheated rooms, rocking exercise, indulgence in spleen, blues anc morbid brooding born of indolence. All t that mean poverty of blood and nervous exl tion, my model woman has never allowed self. She has cultivated her body as well a mind and heart, consequently she stands b ns almost as fresh and fairer far than at £ seventeen. Work and sympathy and care for others also operated to keep her fresh in feeling fancy, till she is like the woman of Shaksp •Age cannot wittier her, nor custom stab Her infinite variety/ UOIIK‘11 SIN P»(*<“ll With I'VcilCll Kvi*S French gallantry has passed into a proverb, yet that French courtesy to women is often dashed with contempt is proved by their literature, by the flippancy or derision seen in many of I he best French novelists—witty epigrams about women as well as their failure to draw gen uinely lovable aud noble female characters. Bril, liaut women, charming women, enigmatical women, social sphinxes, muses and graces sparkle in their pages, but when they attempt to draw good women, the stiffness and indistinctness iff outline, betray a want of sympathy or belief in their own creations. Take some of their numerous witty saying about women; it is such straws that show the way the wind blows. There is a want of faith in woman’s earnestness and honesty wrapped up in such epigrams as these. Friendship^betwean women is only a suspension of hostilities. A woman's friendship is, as a rule, ihe legacy ot love or the alms of indifference. The woman who confides to one man her par tiality for another seeks advice less than an av owal. We are alwaj^s anxious to know why we are loved; they only care to know how much we love them. In church women think that they receive be cause they observe, aud that they are meditating when they are only holding their tougues. It is often a more meritorious act fora woman to allow something good to be said of another woman than it would be for her to say it herself Women attain perfection in but two departments of literature—letters and memoirs. They only write welt when they imagine they are talking. As a rule women care little for comedy, because it makes them enter into themselves. (Jive them the drama which draws them out of themselves. Friendship is a picnic to wbiob all parties c.e- tribute, aud therefore is something women cannot understand. With them one party or the other must stand treat. Women who would hesitate about crying before a husbaud or a lover have no scruple about shed ding tears before an audience. It is with their emotions as with their shoulders—they are only displayed in public. INisiu —Henri Greville.—Are our readers enjoying the quiet, delightful little story ‘Dosia,’ translated from the French of the famous new nov elist, ‘Henri Greville,’ alias Madame Alice Durand? Dosia, though not complicated in plot or thrilling in incident, is continuously interesting, through its delicate playfulness, its easy narrative, its fine character-painting. Henri Greville has the widest popularity in her native country. Her father and her husband have successively held the post of professor (J French at the University of Saint Petersburg, Her father M. D. Jean Henri has pretensions to au thorship, and is ‘best known in the kingdom of letters by a remarkable essay on Rabelais.’ It is said of him that -he educated his daughter Alice with great care, aud when she was fifteen, took her with him to Russia, where she passed many years, partly in the capital, partly in the oountry homes of the Russian gentry. Her first, literary ventures were offered to Paris publishers, but they were all rejected, and in one case with quite unnecessary disparagement. She fared better, however, in Saint Petersburg, where a French newspaper printed a series of her stories. About this time she married M. Durand, who had taken her father’s place at the University, aud with him she returned, about three years ago, to Paris, where her reputation as a novelist soou be came established. Within two years she published in book form no less than ten novels, all of which are received with eager delight by the public. The Acklen Scandal-—Mr. Acklen, the handsome aud erratic member of Congress, from Louisana, has a time of it truly, trying to white-wash his character, which the wicked black-mailers (so says himself and his friends) have maliciously besmirched. No sooner had he succeeded in smothering up the gossip about the Washington widow, than the flame of anoth er—a long smouldering scandal—bursts out at home. A young girl,for whom Acklen had been a kind of guardian, is the injured party; the mother is represented (falsely we trust) as privy to the wrong; and there is a man who is said to have been deceived or bribed into becoming the husband of the girl. Even in the midst of the yellow fever horror,the accusation created a st : r. Acklen, a candidate for re-election, trembles for his popularity, gets affidavits from the girl’s mother and others testifying his innooence and lays them before, first a Democratic then a Re publican Committee. ‘Read the evidence,’ he says, ‘and pronounce upon my character.’ ‘Black as soot—our advice is to step down and out from a public office or aspiration,’ is the ver dict of the Democratic oommittee. ‘White as snow. Reseat yourself, brother,’ is the dictum of the Republican committee. Who shall decide when committees disagree ? Meantime,we honor the Demooratic quorum (if they were honestly convinced of Acklen’s guilt) in advising him to withdraw from the candida cy for office. Vioe in high places flourishes with far too much impunity. Let publio opin ion frown upon it, and instead of granting ex tra indulgence to those in office, let it require of them cleaner hands and a purer reoord than those who oocnpy a less exalted position. * Save and Have,—advises the -World.’—It. is trite couusel but true, and the old sayiug, ‘it is not what you earn that makes you prosperous, but what you save,’ ought to be inscribed over every working man’s door. The‘World’ says that we of this country are a nation of wasters, and that France would feed herself with what we throw away. It continues; ‘What an example France sets to the world ! Although so often desolated and decimated, she is in a sounder condition now than the nation which extorted fr. tit her the five milliards. In France, as a rule, everybody works. Everybody also saves, and that is a fact of yet greater importance. The French workingman lives within his income, and his wife and children help him to do so. He also lives well and enjoys himself. The great dif ficulty with our people is that, an increase of in come only furnishes an excuse for increased ex pense, and that the increased expense is apt to surpass the increase of income. What an American Citizen is Born for.— The ‘Memphis Avalanche’ accuses Don Piatt of being an office hunter. The Don retorts, ‘Of course: who ever heard of an American citizen who was not an applicant for an office?’ An American citizen is born to two things—to edit a paper and hold an office. He has a proud consciousness of being competent to do eitti ;r at a moment’s notice Being already an e li'or does not prevent him from accepting an office, and the Capital's caustic pro prietor says he honestly believes if he were waked up from his child like slumbers at midnight by President Hayes, and tendered a nice place —a diplomatic mission, for instance, with nothing to do and a secretary to help do it—that he would not be grievously offended; on the contrary, he would thank the chief magistrate and express a regret that he had no butter milk—the White House civil-service reform beverage- handy to pledge the high consideration and profound respect moving his journalistic heart. TIii‘ Yellow IVver Problem.—All the physicans in the country are peering through speculative or scientific spectacles at the yellow fever mystery, and New Or eans through her commissioners is hard at word trying to discover the particular causes that operated to produce the malignant scourge that has swept .tway so many of her citizens. The chief cause seems apparent enough. It lies, at their very doors, in the wagon loads of feetid garbage from the dumping yard that have been used to fill up the holes, and elevate the streets in thickly populated localities. Such garbage as it was I Rotting vegetables, foul off.il, putrid cats and dogs, all packed down together with a little black, rank dirt —the product of decay. No wonder as the evidence assert that the smell was so horrible the citizens living near the fill, ed up streets were forced to close doors and windows through the sultry and suff’eating Summer. Adjacent to the dumping yard it was testified to be “awful.’’ The refuse removed lett great holes that filled up with foul and fts* tering water, and often there was as many as thirty or forty dead dogs at a time putrifying on the top of the “hill” of accumulated filth. Yet the commissioners seem “doubtful whether this state of things, had anything to do with the j fever.” It seems absurd to doubt it, in the face, j of the fact tuul tile oiLes*, whom a recent visita- ! tion of the Plague had frightened into cleanli' ness, have been exempt from fever this year notwithstanding the heat of the Summer. The yellow fever may be a living germ, but it needs certain conditions, chief of which is, foul air, for i to thrive ant! propagate. Foul, moist air is the powder rqagazine to which the fever germ comes as the spark. Filth and heat propagate the germs of other diseases in localities where the moisture nesessary for yellow fever, is want ing. “Disease is like cake” quaintly said an eminent physician to us this Summer. “Give you ladies certain ingredients in certain quantities, and you make a certain kind of cake. Add to, or subtract from these ingredi ents, leave out all or a part of your eggs, butter fruit, etc., and you have a cake, but of a differ ent sort. Just so with Nemesis in making up her wholesale poisons. In New Orleans, Mem* phis, Grenada, etc., she had filth, heat, an- moisture— all the ingredients for concocting pride of her ghastly cuisine— her “gold cake”— the yellow lever. Here in Atlanta, she had ad the elements in plenty, but one—moisture; lack ing that—Atlanta had no yellow fever. But iet her health officers take warning; out of another Summer’s heat and uncleanliness, Nemesis may cook this upland city, as deadly a poison as the fatal fever of the Southwest. * Jli\s. Eleuld s Jlillinery and Fancy (■ootts—‘What new shapes or styles in head wear?’ask our subscribers from the country. Had they been at Mrs. Heald’s last week, on her Opening Day, they would have been abun- daully satisfied. Yet, it wouid be difficult to choose—so multiform and so pretty are the styles. One can hardly decide between the hat and the bonnet, though the latter is more fashionable this winter. And charming they look, of the becoming cottage shape,close fitting with slight ly flaring brim, trimmed in tufts of exquisite feathers, rich flowers and foliage, with gold and silver gleams among it, or the always graceful drooping plumes. Here are hats, too—innume rable—a modification of the stylish Gainsboro, the coquetish Langtry,the English walking-hat, etc. Satin ribborns of the rich double-faced styles, now worn altogether, are here of every fashionable shade, together with exquisite ja bots of lace and ribborn, veils, fichus, jewelry, necklaces and bracelets of frosted silver and of creamy, gold-in-laid celluloid. Every ornament, every adjunct to a stylish and fashionable toilet can be found in this lady’s well-stocked estab lishment. * In the Health Department of last week there was a paragraph that was not brought under the eye of the proof reader and consequently con tained several errors—one of which is important. In speaking of the diet of children after wean ing, Doctor Wilson recommended among other things arrow root. The astute printer set it op union roast (rather a queer diet for children.) He also advised a bland preparatory vegetable diet, and it was rendered blond preposatory. Stewed was made steamed, all in the same un lucky paragraph which had accidentally never been read in proof. There is one other mistake; symptoms was put for eruptions. Movements in Southern So- A hng« crowd is looked for next week at the Atlanta Fair. The railroads have greatly reduc ed rates, and Col. Wrenn has spared no paiDS or money to make the occa ion successlul. Some fine stock will be exhibited; the races will be exciting, the military display good and the lGx bail full of fun and guyety. The Cadets are also incubating upon the practicability of giving a bail. It is the season for elections, for free rides in electioneering carriages, and free drinks, furnished by ‘noble candidates’ to ‘our honored constituents;’ will our southern women emulate their sisters of Indiana who dispensed free lunches, tea and ccff.-e on election day to keep the voters from drinking liquor ? Richmond is expecting a huge crowd at its State Fair. The military feature will be conspicuous; there will bo a mock battle of the crack regiments; then, as an ele ment of fun, there will a grotesque parade of the Manchester Ragamuffins or Santa Anna’s body guard. The address by Hon. A. W. Yoor- hees and others will furnish the intellectual treat and a grand ball will wind up the show. Mrs. Marion Abrahams of Baltimore has kind ly put on exhibition the beautiful statue, Veiled Cupid, which she bought in Rome last Summer. It is exhibited for the benefit of the Protestant Orphan A ylntn, and the French Benevolent Society. The Veiled Cupid is an exquisite-work of art. The dimpled limbs and roguish face of the little love-god show through the delicately chisled tracery of the veil in a charmingly nat ural manner. The ‘Laurels,’ a Social Society in Baltimore, inaugurated the season with a grand hop at Spring’s Hotel, and are making arrangements for a phantom sleighing party as soon as ‘beau tiful snow’ condescends to show its hand. On the It! Miss Valena Lamar of Macon was married to E. H. McLaren of Dougherty Coun try. The Muiberry Street M. E. Church was gorgeously decorated. The bride was attired in white velvet and satin dress, trimmed with point lace. Miss Lamar was a general favorite with the people of Macon, and her loss will be felt in the fishionable circles of that gay city. Central, S. C., on the 1»5. witnessed the nupti als of the charming Miss Ellen Thrasher, daughter of the popular cousin John. J. Thrash er to W. H. Terry, connected with a leading Baltimore House. The parlor was decorated with rare taste by the fair hands of Miss Mamie Potts of Atlanta. In letters of evergreen ap peared the words ‘Fidelity, Love and Truth.’ The supper was gotten up in Cousin John’s un approachable style. As a caterer he is not sur passed by Delmonico. The happy couple left that evening for Charleston their future home. Miss Fannie Durham of Greenville, S. C., was married on the 10, and left in the evening for Richmond, Ya. Fair Week. MR. JOHN T. FORD TO OCCUPY THE OPERA HOUSE WITH A FIRST CLASS COMEDY COMPANY. We are gratified in announcing that at last Mr. DeGive has secured a first-class troup for the Opera House, (fair week,) It b ing no less than the celebrated Chapman, Denham Comedy Combination, under the management of Mr. •John T. Ford. In addition to the superior merit of the Stellar attraction, there will be con nected with the party little boys, very versa tile and original in their specialties—one of which is a brass band concert and promenade each day, upon the streets. Mr. Ford assures Mr. DeGive that the company will be sitppr-or in every respect, and our people will have ca ise to congratulate themselves upon it3 sub stitution for the red-tire hurrah show promised ns in Buffalo Bill. The programme will be changed each night—every entertainment being fresh and sparkling. TO ALL TEACHERS.
