YELLOW FEVER. We regret to record that there
has as yet been no abatement in the ravages of tho
fever at either Portsmouth or n arlolk. The num-
Der Of deaths in Norfolk averages seventeen daily
and in Portsmouth (whose population is diminished
20O0) about twenty. The Mayor of Norfolk is
among the dead and the panic was Increasing at
last accounts The contributions for the relief Of
the two cities now amount to over $4,000. The
premontory symptoms of the disease simply u
sharp acute pain, like rheumatic pain, sometimes
paralytic shock in some part Of the body.

went his rounds in an evening, not person was to

resounded ominously upon the pavement. Not
single light could be seen in the houses by which
we passed indeed, it only needed glimpse in the

the disease hold out much longer there will scarce

The number of deaths from yellow fever in New

"TRY 1T ON" The Knickerbocker tells an excel
lent story of Burchard, the revvalist; not of him.
exactly, but of what happened at the close of one
of his meetings. He was in the habit of address
ing his congregation in this manner:
Il am now going to pray and l want all that
desire to lie prayed for to send up their names
piece of paper''
On the occasion which we refer to there was at
once sent up to the desk quite pile of little slips
OF paper. with the names on whose behalf he was
to "wreste," as he said, with the "A mighty"
A pause soon ensued when he said "send 'em
up! can pray for five thousand Just as easy as
can for dozen. Send 'em up. If you havn't any
paper, get up and name the friend you want prayed
for
At this stage of the proceedings man, whom
we shall call Oziel Big, salwart man of six and
half feet in his stockings, a notorious unbelievcr
and confirmed wag to boot-rosc in the congre-
cation, mark for all, and amid the wnks and
becks and smiles of the auditory, said:
MIR. Burchard, want you to pray for Jim
Thompson"
The reverend petitioner saw lom the excitement
in the audience that Oziel was u hard case
What is your name, sir and who is MIR Thomp-

THE ToMBs OF OUR PRESIDENTS. The N. Y
Herald calls attention to the sad condition of the
tombs of our early Presidents and patrioticaly ad
vises plan for preserving these vencrated spots
from neglect.
The tomb OF Washington as it stands"
remarks the writer, sis disgrace to the country.
1t is a monument, not of our affection and respect
Tor the departed hero but of our indifference to the
vast services which he rendered u.s. and to the con-
tempt which such culpabe neglect must inspire in
other nations. If the decay to which this precious
mausoeum has been consigned were to continue
few years longer, there would not be a trace of it
left. The brick which supports the sarco-
phagi of the General and his wife is fast crumblne
away, and the latter will he left to nd on the
damp earth, ready agents of decomrositon The
tomb of Harrison at North Bend is said to be in o
similar state; whilst that of jefferson, at Monticel-
To-, is like the mansion in which he lived q sad
spectacle of neglect The grave of Madison in
Virginia. has scarcely Distinguishing mark for the
eye of the stranger; and Mon:oes occupies cor.
ner in an obscure graveyard in this city-unknown,
unvisited and unhonored
"Eforts are making to redeem us from this re-
proach-at least so far as the tomb of Washington
is concerned; but they want that spirit and spon-
taneity which should mark so important move
ment. The purchase for the nation of that beau
tfu and to be honored spot, in which rest the
remains OF the greatest and purest patriot that the
world has produced, should not be left to the
welmeant but feeble efforts of a few southern and
northern ladies. If Virginia does not feel interest
ed enough in the matter to take the entire cost Of
this purchase upon her own shoulders appro-
pration for the purpose should be made hy Con-
grcs> or more ftly still, national subscription
should be opened for it throughout the Union, to
commence and finish on the same day. There is
an historical justice in this latter course which
leads us to prefer it. Is there patriotism enough
amongst US to accomplish this act Of rctribution,
without overtaxing our energies Or our inclina-
t0ns!"

A HOME PICTURE.
By FRANCES D. GAGE.

Ben Fisher had finished his hard days work,
And he sat at his cottage door,
His good wife Kate, sat by his side,
,, And the moonlight danced on the cottage floor
The moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her beams were as clear and as bright
AS when he and Kate twelve years before,
Talked love in her mellow light.
Ben Fisher had never pipe of clay
And never dram drank he;
So he loved at home with his wife to stay,
And they chatied merrily:
Right merrily chatted they on the while,
Her babe slept ON her breast,
While cheiub rogue, with rosy smile
On bis fathers knee found rest.
Ben told her how fast his potatoes grew,
And the corn in The lower field
And The wheat on The hill was grown to seed,
And promised glorious yield;
A glorious yield in The harvest time,
And his orchard was doing fair;
His sheep and his stock were in their prime,
His farm all in good repair.
Kate said that her garden looked beautiful,
Her fowls and her calves were fat;
That the butter that morning that Tommy churned
Would buy him Il Sunday hat;
That Jenny Tor Pa new shirt had made,
And that too by the rue
That Neddy the garden could nicely spade,
And Anna was ahead at school,
Ben slowly passed his toil-worn hand
Through his locks of grayish biown-
81 tell you Kate, what think," said he,
We're the happiest folks i'll town."
81 know" said Kate, THAT we all work hard
Work and health go together, Eve found;
For there's Mrs. Bell does not work at all
And she's sick the whole year round.
"Theyre worth their thousands, so people say,
But ne'er saw them happy yet;
'Twoud not be me that would take their gold,
And live in u constant fret.
My humble home has light within,
Mrs. Bells gold could not buy,
Six healthy children, merry heart,
Aud husbands love-lit eye"
fancied tear was in Ben's eye
The moon shone brighter and clearer,
l could not tell why the man should cry,
But he hiiched up TO Kate still nearer;
He leaned his head ON her shoulder there
And took her hand in his
guess (hough looked at the moon just then)
That he lett on her lips kiss

"What is your opinion of the use of lager beer
and other cognate stimulants q asked the bibuant
with slight manner Of levity. Mrs. Partington
turned from the old buffet where she was replacing
the antique china, and held the cracked slop bowl
in her hand as she answered, Lager beer, indeed !
think the beer was full large enough before, and
full strong enough, and as for the cognac stmu-
lants, the least we have to do with them the bet
ter Men should beware how they put an enemy
into their mouths to steal away their hats and take
the bread from their little children. Cognac slim
ulants, indeed We talk about muggy weather in
dog days, but with many people it is muggy all the
days Of the year" She placed the slop bowl on
the shelf with an emphasis that made the very
teeth Of the chatter to hear it, and the lit
tie wine glass on the upper shelf stuffed full of pa
pers, that had repented long ago Of what it mad
done in the way Of temptation, tinkled approval
against the edge of an adjacent dish. The bibu-
liant drank her health in glass of clear wateI--a
beverage he hadn't tasted singly for many years
he was so struck with her eloquence and didn't see
Ike who trying his new white hat on before
the cracked glass in the old clock.

How Col. KINNEY GETS ON. A letter from the
New York EUening Post gives some interesting
statements. to the movements of Col Kinney and
his expedition in Nicaragua From the Nicaragua
and Costa Rica papers it appears that full half the
government troops (l400 or 1909 have been car
red of by the cholera The Colonel has received,
or Is expecting to receive, overtures from the gov
eminent party of Nicaragua, we are told, but in
tends to decline any participation in the movements
of either party. He only waits for the arrival of
sufficient force to enable him to occupy his lands
free from annoyance, and then he will 60 to work
His printing press has arrived
he Colonel has just become very large land
holder since he arrived there. having purchased no
less than 3O0O0,OO0 of acres, with 800 miles of sea-
coast. 1t is the same tract that was originally
granted by Messrs. Sheppard and Haley, to Senator
Cooper The Colonel pays only five hundred thou
sand dollars, which is pretty cheap considering
that his farm is about eight hundred times as large
as the State Of New York. Meantime the Colonel
is peaceably occupying himself in looking out for
good locations in the ncighborhood of the port as
well as in erecting his house, which will be entire
ly completed and furnitured by the 18th inst. He
himself acts as head carpenter.
Great complaint is made of the Transit Compa.
ny, which refuses to supply the expedtionists, to
carry their letters, or help them in any way.
The number Of the Colonels associates are con-
stanly increasing, and he is expecting large rein
forcements from the United States and California
He and his expedition are said to be very popular
and amongst the evidences of friendly feeling on
the part OF the inhabitants. it is stated that q re-
port being in circulation that reward of $4,000
had been offered for the Colonels assassination a
committee waited upon him, Offering for his pro-
lection guard of fifty citizens in addition to the
forty men now constituting the expedition proper
1t is remarked that the sailors in port would all
desert if they could be allowed to join the expedi-
tion. One poor lrishman became so fascinated by
the Colonel that he jumped from the vessel to
which he articled, into the sea- to SWIM ashore,
and before he was reaken was dragged down by
an alligator and perishea
