Until ths summer Of last year, one OF
the chief objects Of interest to visitors at
Funclal, Madeira, was grand old mo-
mastery belonging to the order of ST. Fran
els. In June, 1864, however, an order
was received 10 have it pulled down, that
court Of justice might be erected on its
site. The wo,kmcn had been toiIiug for
some hours, during which the crowd
around the Gothic arch had greatly aug
mcnted, when cry was heard within the
building, such as escapes strong men when
their feelings arc suddenly and violently
aroused. INSTANTLY there was an answer
ing voice from the crowd, who, breaking
through the slender barrier presented 10y a
wooden bolt lying across tho entrance,
rushed frantically through dim corridors
and terror-haunted chambers, awakening
as they went multitudinous echoes with
their wild and impatient calls and shouts.
Guided by the rapid and rcvel bcrant strokes
Of the workmen's tools, the crowd quickly
re9chod room at tie extremity o. a long
Shiny hall, and situated between it and the
chapel, from whence there was another
entrance. 1t was lofty room, but Of
small dimensions, having an iron door at
either end. High up in the southern side
wall there WAS grated window, and at
the opposite wall the men who had uttered
that cry Of fearful import were working
with furious energy, while face to face with
them STOOL the rigid body of a woman,
whose CLASSY eyes death hath failed to close,
anil whose fair, soft flesh decay had spared
during the long period Of three hundred
years. She stood in deep recess in the
thick wall. beside small fire place, which
had been surmountc,l by beautiful man
tie piece Of pure white unveined marble.
In removing this costly slab, a portion of
the wall had suddenly fallen, letrayins to
the masous the appalling secret Of living
tomb i'll the vestry Of The Church Of St.
Francis. With the presence Of the crowd
the horror-stricken workmen regained their
failing courage, and re,loubled their pow
e,ful Efforts TO widen the breach; while
each we'll aimed blow Of their crowlars
increased the general excitement, AS more
and more Of the gbaslly form stood re-
vealed. 1t WAS richly a!tired in lilac silk,
still retaining in its ample folds the fresh
ness Of its original tint. One small spray
Of briIliants CLEANED in the abundant black
hair, whirl, still lurg in heavy JraiIs down
the shoulders, though it had lost its soft
ness and its shadowv gloss. Such grave
dress was horribly suggestive Of dread
burial. The faces Of the crowd darkened,
their voices decpencd into pent-up roar,
when suddenly the remainder Of the wall
came tumbing down, exposing 10 the eyes
of the dismayed throng the fleshless skelc-
tor Of man lying at the woman's left
hand, in piled yet irregular heap, as if it
had slid down bone after bone, when the
sinews and muscles which had given beauty
and strength TO manhood had loosened
their hold before crumb!ng into dust.

We find here, with all the uncertainty and
accidents TO which statistics are subject, a
striking coincidence, in the similarity of the
proportion these malarious diseases hold to the
entire number Of diseases reported, in the two
years under consideration.
Consumption and sorofula, we believe, are
not common diseases in this climate. During
the thrce months under consideration, in 1866
and 1867, wo have so cases Of consumption ro-
ported among whites, with 7 deaths, or l3 per
cent. Among tho freedmen, during the Same
period, We have l80 easos and Al dcaths, or q
per cent. Tho per centage Of cases Of con-
sumption among whites, calculated on the num-
Der of person, under tho chnrge Of the Bureau,
was .0li, or nenrly one and half per cent,
and among the freedmen .002, only one-ffth of
one per cent, very sInnll fraction. or scroft,-
ls only 10 cases are reported among whites,
and 2S7 among the freedmen
On the whole, rs far as wo are able TO judge
from these reports, we should say that tho sani-
tary condition Of South Carolinn is good
much better than is supposed by those who
have not examined the subject.
Perhaps, in conclusion, il may be we'll to
state that there has not been this year single
case reported of any epidemic disease within
tho limits OF this Slate. There has been no
small pox, not single case of yollow fever,
cholera, or even breakbone fever, reported this
year; md considering the latencss of the sea-
son, We think our people may enjoy q reason
able hope of immunity from epidemic during
the remainder of tho yoar

Upon nm exami nation of the foregoing tablcs
| it will be seen that the amount of sickness this
year has been greater, both among black and
white, in May, June md July, thnn during the
corresponding months Of last year; nnd this
difference, wo have every reason 10 believe, is
due TO The greater preponderance this yeur Of
| the different forms Of mnlnrial fever.
Small pox, it is known, was epidemic here
| during the winter months Of 1S65-'GG, and the
period embraced in the above reports brings us
10 the close Of tho epidemic cycle The dis
cnso was worry fatal, but during the sum
mer months, as usual, it's virulcuce abated, and
we hence find that but few whites died from it,
The number Of deaths among tho freedmen was
grcater-ll per cent. in May; per cent. in
June, md about 4 in July; while among the
whites, during the three months, the deaths
form only per cent. of the cases. There is
now not Il single case Of small pox in the State
of South Cnrolina that we know Of, nor has
there been for months.
Typhoid fever did not prevail TO any alarm
ing degree either Inst yenr or this. We have
which, or III per cent, died. Among the
freedmen, we noto 179 cases last year, with Is
denths, and only 10 cases, with II denihs, this
year. The per centnge of mortality last year
from this disease wns about per cent, and
this year 81 per cent. OF the cases resulted
fatally, very large mortality, If the statistics
may be relied upon.
Tho number of cases Of the different forms of
maarial fevers reported nre net greatly in c1-
cess this year over last. II Is true tho aggro-
gate of cnscs is much larger, but it should be
observed that, both among white and black, the
number of those enjoying the benefit of medi-
cnl care FROM the bureau is larger this year
thnn it WAS Inst. The per ccntngc of mnlarious
diseases this year and last, calculated from tho
whole number Of cases treated, is as follows:
