SOME two months ago, it will be rcmem-
bered, Young woman named Sarah Combs
made some four or five attempts 70 commiV
suicide by jun ping into the river. So per
sistent we're her efforts towards self destruc-
tion that few looked upon her as other
than partially insane, If not downright
lunatio. She told a woeful tale Of being
abandoned by her husband who had squan-
dered away all her property in Illinois, OF
return ing 20 her friends in Mississippi and
being freezingly received for her want Of
discretiO n, of wandering shout the country
devoid Of friends, but honestly earning her
support by working as a servant, Of be-
coming tired of life, and Of desiring death
rather than a continuance Of her desOlate
condition Lieutenant AlexahdeE, Of the
police force, interested himself in the poor
woman's behalf and finally collected mo-
ney enough - send her home. A short time
ago he received letter from Mrs. Combs
thanking him for his kindness, and stating
/, that she had been received by her friends
and that all her troubles had ended.

HEALTH MATTERS IN MEsIPHIs.-As
our readers are aware, cholera appeared in
Memphis last week in violent form. The
Board Of Health, volunteer association
like that Of this city, at a session called to
consider proper measures in regard to the
epidemic, after recOunting the measures
taken and recommendations made last fall,
state that paid organization under the
auspices Of the county assumed 10 disre-
gard their measures, and tothis they attri-
butte the second outbreak of the disease. A
committee was appointed to memorializethe
City Council on the subject, who say: "As
for the safety and general good of our city,
we would most respectfully suggest that
your honorable body appoint permanent
Board Of Health for the city, eachl member
to be paid officer, as it is impossible to
control the proper talent, even for the gen.
eral good, without compensation, as we are
all, more or less, dependent upon our iDdi-
vidual efforts for support and II is hardly
to be supposed that any private individual
would neglect or sacrifice, under ordinary
circumstances, his pecuniary advancement
OF interest for the glory Of occupying the
position. We would furthermore suggest
that your hoRorable body revive the sani-
tary regulations formerly in force, as sug-
gested by this Board when il was first organ
lied. We would also suggest that in the
revival Of said sanitary regulations, after
appointing a permanent paid Beard Of
Health, that you give said Board full power
to take such action and pursue such course
as they may deem advisable for the CON
slant preservation Of the health of
our city. We make this suggestion simply
because experience has taught us that none
but the medical man, whose interest is in
yolved, will discover the causes of disease,
or can suggest the remedy for its removal"
The suggestions Of the Memphis Board are
wise, and such as are required in every
city. The entire sanitary regulations
should be committed 20 responsible Board
invested with full power over men and
things, so far as sanitary science warrants.
No complete scheme for mitigating the
severity of epidemies can be established in
any other mode.
