HEALTH OBJ New ORLEANs.-The New
Orleans Crescent Of the Goth, speaking OF
The health Of that city, says ''the sickness
or fever will reach its eliminating point in
about twenty to twenty five days from this
date; allowing that 1t is governed by for
mer epidemic years which have prevailed
here since the year 1917. There has not
been an epidemic of yellow fever since the
year 1912 in this city, but what lasted
from sixty to eighty days. If the sickness
at present existing in our midst should
follow the course Of former years, it will
prevail until the first Of October. In the
meantime, those Of our country friends
Who have business with our city, need not
be under any apprehension. Their factors
and agents are on the spot to execute and
carry out all orders. We, however, can
say that any individual may come into the
city from the country, stop twenty-tour OF
thirty hours, and transact bis business with
the most perfect safety. The railroads
give facilities for leaving daily, and with
the river packets thore is no want of facll-
tiles for Withdrawing or leaving the city
daily and souii daily.

BERIAH Brown FOR CoNGREss.-At the
Congressional Convention held at Racine
on the LIST inst, Beriah Brown was nom
mated at the 6lst ballot, as democratic
candidate of the first district against Pot
ter, Republican. This is considered Bar
stow triumph. The Milwaukee Free Dem
ocrat speaks as follows of the nomination
of Beriah Brown:
The candidate, nationally speaking, is g
strong Douglas anii-Lecemption democrat
and ia State politics is a prominent Bar
stow partizan. Brown is one of the men
designated by Noonan, as a fit person to
select to give the voters of this district a
complete surfeit of Forty thiefism, and
open their eyes fully to the beau ties Of that
institution, and if a man who has been as
intimate, and as closely connected with the
history and existence of Barstowsm in this
State, as Barstow himself could accomplish
that result, the nomination of Brown is
most proper for that end.

jaws ON CHRIsrIANITy.-The London
Record says: at has become fashionable
practice with modern Judaism to disown,
and that in the strongest terms, feeling
of hostility to the Christian religion. A
letter recently appeared in one Of the DAT
ly papers, in which the writer, Jew, pro-
tests against the common belief that Jews
must necessarily be opponents of Christian
ity. He maintains that so far from this
being the case, the Jews are enjoined BY
their most venerated authorities highly to
reverence the work of Jesus Christ, who
rwas one Of the greatest agents employed
by God in preparing the way ofthe coming
of the true Messiah"

noted for lis humor, travelling 10 stage

several clergymea, the conversation turned
upon the ''nigger question" One Of the

Aboli,ionists for agitating the subject in
the Northern States, where no slavery is
tolerated. "If Garrison wants to attack
the evil" said he, "why does he not go
where he can ''ruAke some impression up
ston it-where it exists Why does he
squirt his little engine at fire which is
blazing thousand miles OFF," The rev
erend gentleman chuckled heartily at this
sally, and looked aronnd with triumph
ant air to the humorous gentleman, as he
sat il silence upon the front seat, and as
ked him "~hat he thought about 1t 81
you, gentlemen" said he appear to be
clergymen. Your business Is to battle a

be good for twenty dollars. The coin will
probably pass whether it be spurious o.
