prevent it, we may expect to have in our streets very
soon several hundred Of these poorpeope, who, whet
they set foot here during an epidemic are its marked
and predestined victims with almost the certainty
fate itself Such result easily prevented, ant
should be, at whatever pains and cost Our friend
the Howard Association suggests that the city al
thorities furnish the means to charter vessel ant
that it be sent to the Baze to meet these immigrants
take them on board and convey them up the river t
points beyond the reach of Yellow Jack. The reason
that recommend this course are obvious at glance
The expense incurred would not he great, ant
/ il it were, everybody will agree with US il
the opinion that money could not be bette
expended than in preventing any accession tt
our fever population until the danger is over
Besides in pecuniary point OF view, such 6
proceeding would be the very #isest that could be
adopted, if it be desirable that the resumption OIL
the fall business shall not be retarded by the continu
ance Of the fever, as any considerable increase OF
the uuacclimaed population would undoubtedly cause
the epidemic to increase and spread alarmingly and
to continue much longer than it otherwise might.
It is due to the best interests of the city and to
humanity that the most rigid measures should be en-
forced to prevent immigrants from landing upon om
wharves during the prevalence Of an epidemic. They
should either be stopped at the quarantine grounds
until the danger is over or remove or be removed to
other points beyond the reach Of the fatal infection.
ABOUT -Tnnumerable notifications and va
reties Of the genus snob not defined and described
by Mr.. Thackeray, can be found in all classes of so
ciey and in all trades and professions. There are
mitigated and unmitgated suobs. There are crea
lures who know that they are snObs and rejoice in it
believing, apparently, that nobody else is aware Of
the fact and that therein they reap the benefit Of
position in the worlds opinion to which theyare not
entitled There are, too, natural and inevitable suobs
innocent of any knowledge that they belong in that
category, but who could not by any possibility be
anything else. The snob no matter to what class be
belongs is dsagreeable or annoying precisely to the
extent to which he is enabled to obtrade' bis snob
berry upon his fellow creatures and for this reason it
is that when he gets a chance to scribbIe for the
press either as correspondent in an editorial
pacity, he often becomes an intoeuble nuisance and
brings disrepute upon the whole fraternity,
We greatly fear that the tendency to snobbery is
increasing in the American press Certainly we are
treated to many exhibitions of it, from toadytng cor
respondents who ndite elaborate inventories of le.
male dress and gravely set down all the sayings and
dongs Of watering place lions, aud from windy scrb
cheeks has rpened to a beard, pronounce authorta
lively if not learnedly, upon the most knotty prob
lens in human affairs, and occasionally, perhaps
read lessons upon editorial prophecies.
