Cot. B.. \V. Frobo), of Atlanta, Was
in town laid week prospecting with a
view of commencing wo?k on the

tliis week ly begin the construction
.■of suitable flats &o., for clearing out
the obstructions, which will lie in
readiness and the work under head
way by the 10t.h of September.
Col. Frobot says the work, When
commenced, will not .bo interrupted
t>y high water or other cuiikph till the
appropriation of <>10,000 is exhaust- 1 ,
cd. ITo feels confident that Congress (
will make another appropriation if
necessary. Col. F. informs ns that
few peoplo appreciate the difficulties
undoivwlueh Gpl. Blount labored in
carrying through this appropriation.
Jfyurer five years ago nninuy-ham-
jpering blockhead was sent down by
tho Department to examine - the Oco->
Hoc river, who, after a very superfi
cial examination, or rather no exam
ination id nil, returned to Washington,
and made au jjinTavomb.lo report.
No\v. ,it was in tlio face of this ad
verse import, that Col. Blount had to
work. Whenever ho })resented his
potition, tlio Department drew their
report on him. Bat lie knew the
report did his people injustice, and,
though it seemed fi hopeless task to
try to evorrido an official report, lie
pushed his petition (ill success crown
ed his efforts. Col. Frobol says t li
Dopartment is now thoroughly con-
yjaeod that the Oconee can bo made
a groat thorough-fare of trade, and
that with proper management, we
can soouro liberal appropriations in
tlio future.

Tito West will Wag tlio East.
| Hpraeiue Courier, (J)ein.)\
As the tail cannot wag the dog,'the
-east will finally have to acknowledge
that it can no* longer wag the West.
Can the eastern democracy afford an
altitude of antagonism to the democ
racy of the west? It begins to look
as though the'greenback is national
and gold sectional. This may not be
a pleasant outlook for those of us who
hold to “hard, money” as the true
basis of a permanent prosperity, hut
it were h« futile for Mrs. Partington
to attempt to sweep hack the waves
of the ocean as ,for the unaided cast
to resist tlic swelling tide of green
back ism. . Wo arc a national, not a
sectional party, and, in view of 1880,
the democracy of the east must take
no narrow and contracted, bnt a
broad and liberal survey of the situa
tion,

The Scourge pt’ The South.
It matters comparatively little
here the yellow fever originally
came from, it docs not lesson its
terrors to know whether it first came
oil) tlio West Indies or from West
Africa. It concerns us y«>re to know
that after the germ of the disease is
brought to our shores, its develop
ment to the epidemic point depends
upon a low elevation, high tempera
ture and a heated atmosphere), i teat
and humidify are alike esseutiid. It
is never contagious, but it is terribly
infectious under the circumstances
named, and ils progress from the
point of infection steady and gener-
lly sure. In a city its progress is
ibrnit forty feet a day, and it is there
fore often called the creeping plague.
It. is well established Unit the infee-,
ted .atmosphere lies close to the
ground, a high wall often arresting
its progress. In no instance has the
disease assumed an epidemic form in
tho United States, where heat and
humility- woro ,not combine^. It
luis rarely prevailed to a clangorous
extent .uwny from largo bodies of
water. It lgis never become epidemic
in this country ut an elevation greater
than 400 foot above the sea level. 1t
has appeared as far north as' Quebec
and Halifax, but in all of the northern
imitations it is religiously clung to
tho water-side. Fort Smith, in
Arkansas, 400 feet above the level of
the sea, is the highest point at which
the fe,ver has over prevailed as an
epidemic i.u tills country.
Wc slate thero facts to show what
nature has done for Atlanta. She
has given us a site J.050 feet above
the level of tho sea, an elevation jhat
forbids the propagat ion of. t ho dread
ful fever 0Y.cn if welcomed by the
most shocking sanitary abuses. Filth
can bring to our doors dreadful dis
eases, but the plague of the tropics
is not ono of them,. Let us t.hcn out
of our gratitude as >vol) as for hu
manity’s sake heed tho appeals of
those who are not so fortunately
located. Lot mt open our hearts,
and wjrnt is more to the point, our
purses to the cries for help that come
up from the poor little city in central
Mississippi. Says Mr. E. A. Melton,
city marshal and acting mayor, in a
dispatch to t he mayor of Wilming
ton:
“Help us to pay our nurses and
bury our dead. Our town is a grave
yard. Wo need help. The mayor is
dying, and 1 am tho only officer
left.”
This presents in the fewest possible
words the condit ion of stricken Gre
nada. Doctors and nurses have lio-
r.ucully gone to its relief from Mem
phis and New Orleans; and money is
now greatly needed in the effort
that is being made to help the sick
and overcome one of the most malig
nant epidemics that this country has
over known. Mayor Augior has
called a public meeting of the cit
iaous of Atlanta, lie asks all to
assemble in the ojKTa house next
Tuesday evening. In the meantime
wo will glad In* receive ami promptly

It is seldom that a .woman is an
infidel, though the last Woman’s
Rights gathering at Rochester adopt
ed a set of irreligious resolutions for
a platform. Christianity .at least
finds it s most earnest believers among
the sex Jhat it lias done so much to
ox;dt from a state of subjection. Men
who are themselves sceptics often say
that a woman without faith in an
unnatural being. For this reason
tho appearance of.a London lady who
openly acknowledge dintidclity to the
court before which she whs called to
testify is a thing for special wonder.
Had she been a reformer or a popular
lecturer, or a poet or a fashouable
novelist, her disavowal of religion
might be attribited to the eccen
tricity of genius; but as she was sim
ply a young married woman of good
social standing and without a misson,
the astonishment of the magistrate
was not inexcusable—JSf. Y, World.

“Conic here, my little dear.” said
a young man to a little girl, whose
sister lie was visiting; “you are the

was popped the next. day.

Things to lie Remembered.
Ecnu*mbcr,always that pain is the
warning cry of a faithful sentinel on
the outpost. The words which this
sleepless watchman utters arc, “Take"
care! Disease is at hand.” The ene
my thus announced is the punish
ment following a violation of thc :
laws of nature, and this enemy can
only he evaded by restoring natural,
conditions.
Remember, also, that nature never
slumbers nor fails iu duty-, bnt strives
with unerring, active .intelligence to
prevent disease, or to cnre.it .when it
cannot be prevented]
When the measures and processes
of the physician are in harmony with
the natural intention, disease may be
cured; when they are adverse in ap
plication, the patient dies, or if he
recovers, it is in spite of intermed
dling.
A great French philosopher cnee
said: Nature fights with disease a
battle to the,death; a blind man arm
ed with a club—called a physician-
conics in to make peace between
them. Failing in that, lie lays about
him with his club.. If he happens
to hit disease he kills disease; if lie
hits nature bo kills nature.
Let us soo if wo cannot do some
thing to assist-und facilitate theoper
ations of nature in her constant war
fare with the diseases of life. Let,
us try to rid ourselves of the blind
ness which Hie philosopher attributed
o the Doctor. If there be any ray
flight to bo found, w.itji which tlio
all-important secrets .of human well
being can bo illumined, Ictus seek
for and find it.
Let us be reasonable; by ^vliieh we
mean, not merely able to reason; but
able to apply the results of .our
