YELLOW FEVER AT New ORLEANS It
is stated that many of the Creole popula-
ton who in former years have been proof
against attacks of yellow fever, have the
present season fallen victims to it; and an
other circumstance that indicates the un-
usual yirulence Of the disease is the fact
that an unprecedented proportion of young
people from fifteen to twenty five years Of
age, are among the victims.

COMPLIMENTARY REroRT.-'I knew Mr..

"The only difference between Judge
Douglas and myself on the grocery qnes-

To appreciate the above, it should be
understood that the term grocery" in

The Horse Tanner at the St. Louis Fair.

Mr.. William H. Rarev, brother to the
one who has become SO famous in Europe,
is lionizing himself at the Western Fairs
this autumn, and from what we learn has
so far been very successful in. the manage
ment of hitherto wild aud fractions
horses. The ST. Louis Herald, of. Satur-
day thus speaks of his operations the day
before the Fair in that city,:
During fhe afternoon his appearance
was announced in the Amphitheater, with
the two animals which had undergone his
tanning process. They were followed by
a black mare seven years old, belonging to
Bernard A. Brady, a dealer in horses, and
"a jockey all over,l corner of Broadway and
Carr street, of. this city. A herald rode
around the Amphit heatre after him pub.
licly procaiming a reward Of $25 to any
one who would ride her for five minutes.
fFhe quiet, docile appearance of the ami
mai deceived every one, and numerous ri
lders presented themselves.
Among others, Mr. Micheal Burns, who
was the unfortunate candidate. The
mare was given into his charge, and he
succeeded, with little difficulty, in mount
/ ing her. By the watch he remained on
her about five seconds, when he found
himself on the ground He held on to
the reins, however,until the mare succeed
ed in bringing her heels in contact with
his head, injuringi him badly. His iuju-
ties are severe, and Tor time they were
thought to be fatal We trust they will
not prove so. aaa 7hj
Mr.. Rarey announced that he would
rot, for the State Of Missouri, undertake
to ride the animal, as Mr. Burns hal
done, without previously teaching her.
Mr.. Bradley subsequently stated to Us
that he had purchased the mare from a
man in Highland, H.; that she was seven
years old had b lied the son of her origin
| al owner and was brought to this city TO
be sold for what she would bring; that
though of good blood she was entirely
worthless for all practical purposes, as he
had found no man able to ride her.
Mr. Rarey took her to his private ten,
and operated upon her before his Glass;
In forty minutes he subdued her, and
during the afternoon, at the urgent re-
quest of parties on the ground, he appear
ed upon her back in the Amphitheatre,
on which occasion she was as docie as an
old wagon horse. He will appear again
in the Amphitesitre to-day, at IL o'clock.

A GOLDEN THoUGHr SET IN PEAKLs.-
10 speaking of marriages for money, Miss
MULCH, the eminent writer observes, and
we, think very justly:
\ marriages should always be a question,
not OF. necessity but of choice. Every girl
ought to be taught that ,oveless union
stamps upon her as foul dishonor as one
of those connections which omit the legal
ceremony altogether-and that, however
pale, dreary aud tolsoms single life may
be, unhappy married life must be tenfold
worse, an everhaunting temptation, and,
incurable regret, torment from which
there is no escape but death" f
