oT' LOUIS August 10, 1898.
DEAR FATHER We have just arrived here
with all of our officers alive, which consider
very fortunate. We buried two with the yell
low Fever, and had five other cases, which |
think will recover--our first clerk is still very
bad. IT is almost impossible TO odescribe the ex-
tent of sickness in New Orleans the "Cholera"
here in '49 is nothing to compare with it ) every
body that could leave the city has gone, those
that are left are frightened almost TO death Just
think of seventeen hundred dying week, out
of population of forty thousand. The papers
do not report one half of the deaths. Last Sun
day week, bodies came into the Grave Yard at
Lafayette, so fast they could not bury them, and
the next morning there was about one hundred
and fifty not buried being exposed TO the sun
the day before, the cofins bursted open, and the
smell was so bad they could not get any one TO
bury them. The next day the chain gang was
sent out and buried about half, when they re-
fused to work any more, and no one would
make them do it. The stencil from Potter's field
is so great that persons cannot stay within a
ulIlC Vi ~ anu IL 10 SLlll Nh1
1t has mostly been confined TO the upper and
lower par! of the city, but it is now making its
appearance in the first district. Sunday before
we left, there were forty dined at the ST. Charles
Hotel. Up TO the time we left (Tucsday) there
were seven died out Of that number. The Doc
tors do not think it is all Yellow Fever, some
of them think it is the Plague, if it is, we may
look for it here. The bodies burst open and
bleed after they have been dead six or eight
hours. 1t is reported by great many, that the
mortality never has been so great in any city
in the world, in proportion to the population.
When left home, did not expect 10 go all
the way down. soon found out if left,
the balance Of the crew would stop also, SO
had to 60 in to the city. would not 60 down
again for the Columbus and her load. / think
the balance Of the crew are in the same fix. Il
we lay up, will be up tomorrow, and we will
all be at home once more. If she goes back,
will not 60, unless they agree TO let me off OR
the coast, No more. Receive and give my
love to all my friends.

ANorHrR RoIfNpoK cRUSoE.

Capt. VIM. Gibson, of the schooner Flirt; has
just returned to New York after long and
unjust imprisonment in the Dutch East Indies.
The Tribune" has long account OF his ad-
ventures, which have been quite rohsntic. That
paper calls upon the Administration to demand
redress from the Dutch Government Tie FOL:
lowing is an extract from the Tribune's nara.
tive:
Capt. Gibson, being Of rather an adventuroas
turn, owning his vessel, and not being pressed
for time, resolved to visit the little Island Of
Tristaie dAcunha. This island is situated i'll
about 45 deg. south latitude, aud abeut midway
between the Cape of Good Hope and CapS
Horn. In the year 1911 the British frigatS
Pandora struck on ledge Of rocks near this
island, on her return home from Bengal, ladeR
with troops. One Of their number; Sergeant
Glass, while the troops were being landed, pre-
paratory 10 getting the ship off the rocks, took
Of the confusion attendant thereon;
and secreted himself on the island, and the ship
sailed without him. Glass remained here threS
years, subsisting in the meantime on the hesh
of goats, which here abound, and also on she'll
fish and roots. BY the expiration Of this time
he had succeeded in constructing boat from
drift timber, and other materials, and proceeded
WIN cargo OF goat tklns 10 the OapS OIL OOou
Hope, some l,6O0 miles distant. The time
which he selected for his departure in this frail
craft, was during the pretalencs of the westerly
winds. He accomplished his Perilous voyage
in safety. After a short residence at Cape
Town, be married the widow OF a soldier who
had died at the Cape; and with his wife and a
negro man, returned to his solitary Island sgain,
taking with him various implements, seeds, arms
and ammunition, together with other necessaries;
which were literally furnished him by the msr:.
chants ST Cape Town. Here the good couple
carried out the injunction, ''incrsase and Aulti-
lply." The result Of their marriage was sevsi
daughters, who, in the course OF time, were
married to men from American Whalers, whs
occasionally touched at The Island. Theas sons,
Iin-law of the old man, in compliance with law
THAT he had made, that me son-in-law Of his
should leave the Island" settled down, and
Iproved as prolific ss did the original couple, SC
That the population now amounts to eiEhiy-ioui
children, grand children and grsat-grand -child
ren. Since the Island has 6rst been settled b
Glass, death has never visited one Of its iAAaAi.

The New York Tribune, in biographical
notice CT Isaae T. Hopper; relates the following
anecdote
| THE DIsAoNEsf CoNSERf.-Upon a ceTtaih
occasion man called on him with due bill fOk
twenty dollars against ah estate he had been
employed to settle. Friend Hopper put il
away, saying he would examine il and attend 10
1t as soon as he had leisure. The ihah called
again short time after, and sisted that he had
need Of six dollars, and was willing to give
receipt for the whole if that sum were advanced;
This proposition excited Suspicion, aud the adj
minislrator decided in his own mind that he
would pay nothing till he had examined the pa
pers Of the deceased. Searching carefully
among these he found receipt fot the money;
mentioning the identical items, date and circum.
stances If the transaction; stating that due bill
had been given and lost, and was to be restored
| by the creditor when fotind. When the NAH
called again for payment, Isaac said to him, in
quiet way, Friend Jones, understand thou
hast become pious, lately"
He replied in solemn tonsl ayes; thanks t3
the Lord Jesus, have found odt the way Of
salvation"

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

There is an extraordinary eri or prevalent
among those who oppose a State prohibitory
law and that is, that every objection which may
be raised against the Maine Law, already in
operation, may with prOpriety be urged against
a Missouri law, not yet in existence, and when
of course nobody knows what its provisions are
going to be. They seem to look upon the Mis-
souri, Legislature as set Of ninnies, as devoid
of originality as a Chinese tailor who always
exactly initiates the garment he cuts by, patches
holes, and all otker bsmishes. We were told
yesterday that the Law of Maine prohibits any
person from serving on jury who is opposed
TO the Liquor Law. Thus, il man were on
trial for robbery, one of the questions necessary
TO be asked in impanneling the jury would be
" What is your opinion upon the Liquor LawP'
This yarn is too absurd to talk about. There i,
no such thing in the law; but suppose tn,
Maine Legislators had been such cOnsummat'
dOnkeys as to insert such provision in theil
law, does it follow that the Missouri legislator
must be fools enough to follow them?
But the Maine Liquor Law or Missouri
State prohibitOry law is not now the question
before the people of Hannibal. The question
solely is whether this city shall be rid of th
traffic in ardent spirits, by the exercise of pow
ers already granted by the Legislature. This i
the utmost boundary of the question to be dis
cussed before the coming city election.

ANOTHER MuRDER.-Late on Tuesday
evening, man by the name of Christian
Auman, living in the eastern part of the
city, was arrested on charge of murder
ing his wife. An investigation of the
case took place before Justices Lee and
Noeth. 1t appeared from the evidence
that the prisoner had, for years, been guilty
of The most brutal treatment OF his wife
that about two weeks ago he pounded and
beat her with one ol his boots until she
was compelled to call upon a neighbor fol
asSlStance-that this beating resulted in
an illness which on Saturday evening last,
terminated her life. For a week after thi,
brutal assault she complained of acute pair
in her side, which exhibited also unmistake
able marks of the violent blows she hac
received. The investigation resulted ir
the committal of the accused to the count,

WILD GAME.--A large black bear in the
possession of Mr.. Steiller, butcher, living in
the western part of the city, escaped from his
pen on night before last, and INDUCED himself
in a moonlight stroll to one OF the neighbors,
whre he was the cause Of no little excitement.
The doors and windows of the house had, on
account of the excessive sultrlness of The
weather, been left wide open, perceving which,
Bruin quietly climbed up flight of stairs and
stole into the nursery, where lay servant girl
and three or four children. The ugly rascal
appeared 10 know exactly the effect which
would follow knowledge of his presence, and
no doubt chuckled pleasantly over the proposed
joke. He placed himself in a strong light near
an open window and facing the seepers, heaved
a hoarse grunt. The girl and children imme,
diately awoke, and their cries in time brought
to them the older members Of the household
No one dared, however, TO deal too abruptly
with the intruder, and it was with difficulty that
his election was finally elIected.-St St. Louis
