yellow Fever Panic.

The Houston Telegraph of the second in
slant, which has been a long time on the
route, says:
1t was amusing to see the panic here on
Friday about yellow fever. A large num-
ber of runaways from Galveston had come
up on the boat on Thursday night and had
to wait for the train of LAS p. NJ. They
were i'll at ease and showed their fright very
plainly, and it spread among the tmid un-
acclimated Of this city. just before l2 M.
q rumOr gained circulation among them that
there were two cases of yellow fever in the
city, and we never saw so many pale faces
as there were among them. At about IL M.
we met two lady friends, who had failed to
find a carriage and were fastening ON foot
to the Central Depot-over an hour and q
half before the time of the starting of the
train. Upon inquiry of them we found that
they had heard a rumor that there were two
cases of yellow fever at the Hutchins House.
We assured them that there was not q case
in the city, but could see that they did not
believe it, and bidding us goodbye, they hur-
ried on, believing that they would be safer
at the depot than in the heart Of the city
near the Hutchins House. .,.,'r. -.

Carol, a lad ten years old, were found dead
in bed, with their thr0ats cut in . fearful
manner, at their residence in Franklin
street. Their throsss had been cut trans
versely, and were cut deep, severing the
carotid artery. The throat Of the child
showed five or six frightfl gashes, and his
head was nearly severed from bis body.
The throat of Mrs. LinIdord had been cut
very deep. Her right hand was covered
with blood, mixed with the hair Of the child
Her left hand was bathed in gose, and a.
she was left handed person, oircumstances
favor the supposition that the fearful deed
was peTpetratea by her own hand.
The body of the child lay on tho right
side, and the razor that inflicted the wounds
was found in tho bed between the bodies.
The mother lay upon the head-board, with
her limbs crossed and her right hand and
arm resting on her breast, her 1efs hand lay

luged with gore, and blood from thewomal's

| fore, that tho impulses and efforts of nation,
had seemed to prepare the minds of mel
for some event connected with the spread q
civilization. That the discoveries Of C0lum
bus, great and original, had seemed but thu
fulfillment Of great expectation. Mr.
Dimitry gave rapid and forcible sketch o1
the life Of The great diseoverer up to the
that had more and more matured in his
mind, until the result was the bestowal of q
new world on civilized and christianised
man; of the reflex, of the reaction, upon
the old world, of the benefits she had be-
slowed upon the. new.
The address Of Mr. Dimitry was replete
with historical research and happy inustra-
tion, and fully sustained the high character
Of this gentleman - writer and speslter.
The audience manifested their appreciation
Of the orator by frequent applause;
dent was Mr. Passama- Domeneck one Of
the editors of the New Orleans Bee, who
addressed the audience in French.
The speaker made a short but eloquent
address. He commenced by saying that,
from all men, natives of American soil, or
those who, born in foreign lands, made it
the country of their choice, the memory of
Columbus equally demanded reverence.
Amid all the glorious remembrances of
Italy, ner greatest glory " tnat all naOQn0
will share, and all generations, to the re-
motest future, will be the recipients of the
good bestowed upon the world by the dis
covery of Christopher Columbus. Had the
efforts of Columbus been rendered futile
by the many obstacles which beset his path
at every turn, his patience, lis courage, his
humanity, his unspotted virtue, all the en-
nObling traits of his character, would have
commanded the reverence Of mankind
equally with his success.
The speaker concluded by expressing y
sense of the honor he felt at being one of
the participants in an occasion which had
for its object a tribute of reverence to the
memory Of Christopher Columbus. 81
With the address of Mr.. Passama Dome
mech, the ceremonies at the Lyceum Hall
terminated. The Trio formed in Lafayette
square, and, accompanied. by the band,
marched down Camp street, sa}uting the
REPUBLICAN,, the Times and the PscayMne az

hall Of the organization, on Royal street,
where, after pleasant collation. the COM
pany separated. The officers, with invited
guests, afterward adjourned to the "Four
Seasons" where q sumptuous dinner awaited
them, to which ample honor was done.
