The New York Erpress saws:

Although there can be no doubt that the
yellow fever has assumed an epidemical
condition in various parts of the South,
scarcely line can be found about it IN the
Southern papers. Panic paragraphs are
censurable under all circumstances, but
they are not SO dangerous to the welfare of
communities as criminal reticence. 1t is
the duty of the journalist in case of the def
structive prevalence of disease, to make
such statements Of facts connected there
with as will prepare the public to be caret
full.
In New Orleans daily list of the NUM-
Der, names and nativity of those who dip
here of yellow fever is published in all THO
city papers, and the agent Of the associated
press telegraphs throughout the country the
number of yellow fever deaths in New Or
leans daily. What more does the Err,~ess

The Internal Revenue Bureau has agreed
to allow distillers to purchase Tice metres
from any one who may have them for sale.
when the sizes suit the capacity OF the dis
tillery This is to enable distillers, when
they quit the business, to dispose of their
metres which are very costly. The sale
bureau decided that hereafter whenever
stamps are put on tobacco. and the law and
instructions of the department are not al
ready complied with, there will be pre-
sumption Of wrong intention, and the tobac-
co will be seized. This is necessitated by
the action of sharpers who, in many cases,
put stamps on the heads of caddies OF to-
bacco, and in ingorance of the regulation of
the tobacco to be seized. A South Carolina
collector has written to the Revenue De
partment to know if he was bound to ac-
cept the bonds of q man about to start a to-
bacco mandatory, when he knew the man
to have bad reputation. 1t was ruled that
if the bonds were good. they must be ac-
cepted

The Denver papers state that engineers
have already entered upen the survey of an
immense irrigating canal, commencing at
Platte Canon before the river debouches in
to the plains, and extending to the head of
the Republican river in the Eastern part of
Colorado Territory. The canal thus cut out
would irrigate not less than 100000 acres
now utterly useless for other than pastur-
age purposes, and will be, when completed,
the means of making the country fit for a
million of people to find homes. The money
for the survey is said to have been raised,
and enough to complete the canal will be
guaranteed
