Yellow Fever in New Orleans.

According to the predictions of many indi-
viduals acquainted with the history of this dis
ease, the fever prevails in New Orleans 10 an
extent equal if not supassing almost any pre-
vious year of its history. The daily average
Of deaths is about 100 and the last official re-
port showed 500 deaths for the week. The
New Orleans Delta says the disease is hourly
gathering in a rich harvest Of victims, and TAX
en- in connection with the fact that large por-
ton of the population is absent, its extent and
fatality are Of most startling import. The
funerals are too many for the hearses, and
cabs and city carts are brought into requsition.
Rough pine boxes are used at the Charity Hos
pital for want of time TO make collins
The City Council had constituted Board of
Health, after long and criminal delay and
placed SIC, 900 at their disposal, for purifying
the streets and using other sanilory steps. A
quarantine has been established, but no power
has been given the Board TO prevent passen-
gers from landing. An English vessel, laden
with emigrants, had arrived, and probably two
thirds of them will be taken with the fever.
A panic at last accounts had seized upon the
city, and citizens were flying by thousands
from the pesrilence. North, east and west,
they are rushing with imPetuosity, anywhere
to get out Of the deadly malaria and inhale the
healthy breezes of more healthy localities
Many are coming TO the extreme north, the
great lakes, Canada and New England. The
panic is said TO extend beyond the immediate
seat Of the disease TO many other cities Of the
south, where preparations for the advent of the
pesiilence are being made, and the citizens are
fleeing 10 the uorth in large numbers. The
Crescent City advises all strangers 10 keep
away ill after a frost

The Umbrella Question.

We wish somebody would decide whether
any moral turpitude attaches to aman for en-
bracing the opportunity of changing an old
umbrella for a new one. The question is an
open one-not 50 well settled as that Of marry
ing deceased wifcs sister-but public opinion
rather favors the idea that hooking of an UNI
brella in rainy weather is not IN itself an Of
fence against good morals. We say this TO
exculpate our friend of the Kcnnebec Journal,
who stands charged with abs;racting from the
tallest depot master on the Kenncbec and Fort
land railroad, nice new "cotting'' umbrella.
After the operation, Wheeler had the brass to
tell the following story
g Somebody has said that the little annoy
anccs of life contribute much TO the sum total
OF human misery. vastly more than at the first
thought would be apparent; and the remark IS
profound one. That man who can hear OF
business disaster with the utmost GOODNESS. may
yet be greatly moved by the pernicious at
tempts of fly to alight upon his nose, when
he takes his nap after dinner; and he is phi
losopher indeed, who can calmly suffer deple-
tan by mosquito, lie down in his bed
without murmur when he knows it resembles
vehicle, because it is lille buggy. And Of
all these small troubles, what is more trying
than the loss Of an umbrella upon a rainy day :
Let us narrate case in point.
Our friend who dispenscs tickets at the Hal
lowell depot had procured an umbrella of the
incest construction to shield himself from the
heavy dew that fell on Tuesday last. Often
did his eye rest fondy upon the sheen of its
covering, the deliberately carved head. and the
strong yet symmetrical proportions of its ribs
But alas in an unguarded moment it was left
in the corner of a room common to outer bar
barians, and when the train had gone its way
there was found in its place umbrella of
most antique construction and of those varie-
gated colors which betokcn great exposure to
the elements. We have rarely seen our usual
ly placid and even tempered friend moved
when narrating the circumstances. And,
said he. had my legs been long enough, should
have pursued the train, and brought that fellow
to condign punishment"
fit were not for the following paragraph
from the Halowell Gazette, we should never
believe Wheeler did it,
The editor of the Journal does not say he
had "a hand in the exchange" but it would
not be well for him to test the virtues of them
legs second time
We think the depot master alluded to will
be glad to give editors free pass, legs or no
legs, hereafter.

GOLD IN OREcoN.-The following state
ments are contained in letter from Captain
VIM. Tichenor, at Port Oxford, Oregon Ter
ritory, and published in the Newark Daily
Advertiser. The letter is dated March LIST
g ! am now washing out gold at the rate of
ten dollars an hour Two others by the side
of me, with the assistance of squaw, (for
an Indian men is not worth his food) are max
ing $50 day. We will have thousands of
inhabitants here in few months, as gold is
everywhere in this vicinity. All the soldiers
in the garrison are at work making from $50
a day upwards, but none less than SIG. No
person would work for the gold, until my
partner tried, and after two or three hours
work he was offered $25 for what was in his
machine, Which he took. The next day he
worked about four hours, and again sold his
sand for $40. On investigation it was found
that he had sold $50 worth Of gold for S25,
and $50 worth for $40 We have taken out
$50 worth in two hours and forty minutes, and
then let escape SO worth. This was the first
mining done here, and now it is ascertained
that it will yield rich reward everywhere
along the beach,
