An English Lady in Now York.

New York is described by young
lady in Frazers Magazine, who says in

the brilliancy of its atmosphere, its
monster hotels, and its " dainty, fantas.
tically. dressed little ladies, looking
thoroughly French, and as un-English
as it is possible to conceive of--all in
short dresses" On this head she adds
"Their faces are charming. never

The tower of Babel is an edifce of
which little is known by the ordinary
world, but the London Bookseller, it
seems, has discovered some one who
knows a great deal about it, and, also,
about the great deluge That periodical
contains the following announcement:
ITO be sold by private contract, the
copyright of work in manuscript, en-
titled the Tower of Babel discovered,
and the deluge explained. The sub
stance of which is contained in about
three hundred and fifty foolscap quarto
pages. The author and compiler asserts
that he has made one of the most impor,,
tant discoveries of the present age,
namely, that of demonstrating the iden-
tity of the Great Pyramid OF Egypt with
the ancient Biblical Tower of Babel;
and proving, by conclusive evidence,
that the Mosaic Deluge was local food,
produced by the bursting of an ancient
African lake, the remains of which he
points out, and also indicates in detail
the cause Of the great catastrophe.

How the Epidemic Progressed in New
Orleans.

The epidemic season is over, though it
may perhaps not be safe for strangers to
come to our city for another week or ten
days. Although the Angel of Death has
visited almost every household in our
plague. stricken city, we have certainly
reason to congratulate ourselves when we
compare the list of mortality this year
with those of 1853 and 1858. During the
former year the disease died out before
frost, and up to the 18th of September
alone 1922 deaths from yellow fever had
been reported, while for two weeks during
the month of August the average num-
Der of deaths from yellow fever daily
was over 200. In 1858 the epidemic con-
tnued till the appearance of frost in
November, and up to the 9Th of Novem.
Der 4767 persons had died of yellow
fever. This year, although perhaps more
cases have been treated, the number Of
victims have so far been only 29l7.
From the records of the Howard
Association we find that the members, in
1853, extended relief to ll,0SS yellow
fever patients, out of which number 2942
died under the so.called heroic treatment
of the physicians of that day. This
season, the percentage of the deaths out
of the number treated is not expected to
exceed FIVE, but it is impossible to make
any close estimate until the Howard
Association makes its final report. Each
member has now on file weekly report
Of the cases attended to- When the
epidemic shall have entirely disappeared
these reports will be revised, each
member making his report for the whole
season, and the official report of the
Association will be compiled from them.
Judging from the difference in the mode
of treatment adopted by physicians this
year, we shall look with interest at the
difference in the amount and kind of
medicines purchased by the Association
this season as com pared to that of 1853.
The epidemic, we repeat, is over, but
let those absent from the city remain
quietly away for the next ten days, and
we shall have busy and gay season
to relieve the general dullness which has
reigned in the Crescent City for the last
four months-M o. Bulletin, 2Sh.
