The New York Crystal Palace.

1t has now come to be pretty well I'M
derstoOd that those who have bought
Crystal Palace stock at the high prices it
has commanded for a month or two in
Wall street, have been terribly bitten.
The exhibitions per Sc cannot possibly
pay fair interest on the cost Of the build
ing, the expense of keeping it up, and the
loss of capital which must follow on its
close. So those who have purchased the
stock at 40, or some such rate, are eX-
pected to loose in the end nearly one half
their investment. The original propri-
etors, as we explained not long since,
have made enormously by their respective
investments, leaving their successors to
foot the bill of costs and damages. The
city at large will be greatly the gamer by
the exhibition, however, as it is proving
the card inducing the expenditure of mil
lions in Gotham, which would have been
otherwise expended elsewhere. We have
before discussed the industrial national
advantages to accrue from the exhibition.

ravages are frightful in the extreme, a
despatch from the scene of destruction
says:
The fever shows not the slightest abate
ment; on the contrary. it is increasing every
hour. Hundreds leaving the city daily.
The official report of deaths during the week
ending on Friday. 9TH instant. rs published in
the PicayHns, exhibits the frightful number
of one thousand and fifty, of which eight hun
dred and seventy nine were from yellow fever,
showing an increase over the report Of the
previous week of one hundred and eighty
seven During the twenty -four hours ending
at six o'clock yesterday, IL. m, there were in
all two hundred and thirty ght deaths one
hundred and eighty -four of which were from
yellow fever. The total number of deaths
from fever alone for eight days, ending yes
terday, were onethousand and seyenty-three .
Another despatch says:
The number of deaths in twenty four hours
ending midnight, on the 9TH, is two hundred
and thirty eight, of which two hundred and
eight were of fever, and one cemetery yet to
hear from Deaths of the present week will
exceed one thousand from yellsw fever alone
The highest number Of deaths in 1917. in one
day. was but ninety-scven, making the present
number Of deaths an increase of three hun

THE VERY LAST WONBER-The new phase
which the New York Herald of yesterday tells
us, is, probably. to be given to the fisheries
question, by the assertion Of the claim of I.Grd
Sterling to right to the fisheries superior to
those of both Governments and countries, will.
we take it, hardly disturb the course of the cur
rent negotiating. That gentleman has been
some time in Washington upon this business,
and has formed company to whom his rights
or claims have been, or ara to be, conveyed
lie claims, by virtue of grant from King
Charles to his ancestor, fee-simple title in
and to all the fishing grounds off our coasts,
as well as those of the British provinces, if
we are rightly informed; and asks that Secre-
tary Marcy shall abandon the ground of our
rights, by treaty, on which our claims to fish
of the coasts Of the provinces arc now urged
hereafter dsputing England's right to inter
fere with our fishermen in those waters, on the
ground that, having granted away the fish
cries in dispute long before the date of her
treaty with us, she is really without legal
power or control over them The English of
this is, request that the Government Of the
United States shall take position which will
in future compel all American fishermen at
least, ere venturing to sea, to purchase Ii
censes from Lord Sterling's company. High
English legal authorities are said to have
given opinions in favor of the soundness of
this claim. Mr.. K. J. Walker, too, is said to
have done likewise. Mr.. W., by.the-bye, is
one of the company, and, it will be remem-
bered, has, time and again, given legal opin-
ions IN favor of the soundness of more than
one claim, wherein he was employed or inter-
ested, which, ever after the sanction of his
opinion, failed of triumph.
1t strikes us that our fishermen will be
better Off we are really without national

A RACE FOR LIFE.
BY ONE OF THE ACTORS.

Forty years ago my fathers family set
tied in one of the counties of central New
York. All was wilderness, wild and beau
tiful. We located fifteen miles from the
farthest pioneer. The woods were around
us, the tall trees, and the picturesque
| mountains.
We had opened space in the forest, and
cabin of the good old time afforded us
shelter. 1t looked new and comfortable,
and its chimney smoke curled gracefully up
and vanished with the shadows of the forest
winds, holy anthem foated up from the
The blackened heaps smoked and cracked
and deep in the wild wood solitude the will
derness blossomed in the presence of yellow
harvests. A happy home was there. The
birds sang at earliest morn, and the deep
river near the door murmured at nightfall.
There were gentle whisperings in the old
trees. AS they bowed their heads in the
vast temples where nature breathes fresh
and pure from the hand of God. The
wild flowers bloomed even by the very door
sill, and the deer stopped in the forest to
gaze upon the smoke of the chimney top.
Twas a beautiful home in the old wilder
ness
The spring brought us neighbors. Twas
a great day when a settler came in and
purchased land across the river. He receiy-
ed warm welcome from pioneer hands
comfortable log cabin peeped out from
the dense woodland of the opposite bank. 1

the sun went down, and eagerly looked for
it the next morning But it was not the
smoke that l cared so much about. only
knew that it curled upwards from the fire.
side where dwelt as beautiful creature as
as ever bloomed away from the busy world.
And so [ watched the smoke, and dreamed
as l watched by the river, until the moon
threw down its beautiful pathway of shining
silver, and listened to the sound of familiar
footsteps.
Across the river was the home of Carry
Mason. Before the mellow haze of autumn
1ad dropped its dreary hue on leaf and
stream, I had learned to love her, and to
ell her so in the still moonlight of that
hidden home.
The leaves faded and the winter winds
wept through the forest. But we cared
title for that. The snow fell thick and
asst, but our hearts were alive with happi-
Tess and hope. When the spring opened
nd the birds returned, we were to be mar
led.
