BL.OwING UP OF PORTO CARE Il
YELLOW FEVER.

New ORLEANS, August 26.-We deem it
duty tn announce that a case of malignant
fever, of unquestionabIe character, accom-
panied by the black v9mit was reported in
the charity hospital yesterday. This case,
however, II is said, ought not to cause serious
alarm, as the person was attacked up Red
River whence he came tn this city in the steam
boat Eagle. No case of yellow fever is yet
known ia have originated in this city.
.Ndichez.-Letters from Natchez ofthe 2gd
inst. received by yesterdays mail say that
the fever continued with undated vinlence''
half the inhabitants having already left the
city, and all endeavoring Ia fv. Ten ne,r
cases were reported ON the 22d. Lou .4dr.

click which represented sheep fold.
On travelling in France, he presented
it to the grandfather of Ferdinand VII.
while that monarch was on his Journey
from Naples TO Madrid. When the hour
was striking, the shepherd took his pipe
andplayed an air; the tune caused the
dog to come and receive the caresses of
his master. This mechanism produced
in his majesty the greatest delight.
Dross requested his majesty in order 10
try the fidelity of the dog, to take up
an apple from the basket beside the
shepherd. The king consented to make
the experiment; but the dog pounced
upon his hand, and barked so loudly that
the dogs that were in the house took
the alarm, and joined in the attack upon
his majesty. The whole court fancy
ing that the devil himself was concealed

and take to their heels. The minister
of marine was the only one who had the
courage to remain.-A6eiNe.

AN ATRocIoUs CHARACTER.

Duringt the awful prevalence of the
plague in the northeast Of Spain, in the
autumn of 1921, a foreigner, who was
variously said to be Jew, Turk, an
American, and renegade, but whose ac-
knowledge vocation was that of mer-
chant, in which capacity he had anass-
ed large property, visited the devoted
city ofBarcelona. This man, who, from
his long white beard, might have been
taken for a patriarch, had been an eye
witness of the plaques that had desola-
ted, of late years, the Turkish empire.

had broken out in any city, he immedl-
