NINcENNEs, May 1O.-The steam boat Flo
renee, Capt. Dnnne, arrived here from Lou
isville on the Cd inst After dscharging a
part OF her cargo consigned for this place, she
proceeded on her voyage to Terre Haute.--
She has since returned, and is now ascending
Inc ONO to the place from whence she came.
The Florence is The first steam boa. that has
erer assembled the WabdSh and, we have no
doubt she has made profitable trip. Why
tins river has been so long neglected by the
enterprislng owners ofsuch boats, while love
oil gam and laudabe curiosity carry our ac-
I'VE countrymen To every part of the habitable
globe has often surprised us.
The Ohio river, la Louisville, seems hereto
Tore To have mOnopolized too many steam

In the report, contained in the Journal 1es
Debats, of NJ. Hyde de Neuve's speech in the
Chamber of Deputies, respecting the doctrine
of contagion in Yellow Fever we find the fol-
lowing passages
" The orator related the noble conduct of

epidemic in Philadelphia in 1898. He form
r'l hospital at his own expense he was
himself the nurse of the sick-he buried the
dead he carried the bodies to the graves
rms individual, exclaimed the orator, does not
share my political opinions hut I do not, on
TINS account the less admire his fine example
on this OCCASION. God has rewarded him
from the station OLA pilot, he has become one
OF the richest merchants of the world he
possesses NOR than thirty millions of francs
he is called Girdrd. | do right To name him
| the name of the friend of humanity should
he known every where in his own country"
NJ. de Melville then entered into various
details In prove the doctrine ofnon contaginn
hc cited the opinions of several American
physicians he particularly mentioned the
celebrated Dr. Rush, who did not hesitate to
reiract after having long professed the doe
trIne OF conIagiOn. He bestowed the highest
encomiums ON DR.. de pf>e now physician Of
the palace of The Tnilrries who. first in the
United States. proclaimed The sound doctrine
OF non contaGinD, and who is making the most
generous Efforts 10 bring thp government tn
try experiments, which. if managed by en-
'lshtened men, would soon dissipate all doubt
on the subject"
