1t will be seen from the following note
that our excellent French editor is rusti-
eating at Knoxville, and that he is under
the salubrious management of q hrst class
physician besides two very excellent
nurses. It is TO be hoped that his perfect
recovery may be chroDicled in these para
graphs in Anew days: "Your confrere, L. j.
Dupre, accompanying Mrs. d. and another
Of the Memphis ladies', seems to be COM
pletely Frustrated, and without any refer
ence to artificial or accidental causes, only
by the prolonged application, ETC., in his
position In the Office. 1 have taken him
into professional keeping for a short
while, and ordered entire freedom for the
nonoe from work, care, etc. the result
viii be r~ecuperated energy and rebound
that will be exhibited in the articles he
will furnish"
There are some persons whose ideas OF
the due importance of the Mississippi Riv-
or road have suddenly increasedluntil.they
say Northern capital will build the road
anyhow, whether Memphis makes the
subscription or not. What Northern cap
italists can be found to undertake the
construction of this road on as favorable
terms as are secured by its consolidation
with the Paducah and Gulf railroad? In
A9&%H VIZ [NoAE OIkAN1AA1kN $3.50 -
found to undertake the work at all7 It Is
easy enough to talk abo1t Northern CAPT
tai building railroads and constructing
cotton mills, and otherwise developing
and improving the Southern States, but
It Is g far different matter to secure 1t. II
we want others to help US, We must help
ourselves, The Messrs. Norton have the
confidence of every n who knows them.
They say thst If this additional subscrip-
ton of $500, 900 is secured they will build
the road, but that If it is not done they
will abandon the enterprise, n in that
event, which will certainly arise, unless
his subscription is made, Northern capi-
tai will have q fine opportunity of dis
playing its philanthropy by undertaking
an enterprise which has been declined by
the Illinois Central, Pennsylvania Gen.
tral and other large corporations, and
finally abandoned By the NortOns through
a failure of progressive and sharp Mem
phis to subscribe &, 00G, 900, relying on the
generosity OF Northern capital to
assume the entire completion Of a
work which she would not even
assist by this moderate subscription.
DIR. Hall, in his Journal Of Health.
gives the following information and adj
vice: I'm miasmatic localities-and these
are along W-aterc0urses, beside mill
ponds, marshes, bRyOus, river bottoms,
dat lands and the ike-it is most inn
portant, from the first of August until
several severe frOsts have been noticed,
to sleep with al external dOors and win
dOWs closed, because the cool air of sunset
causes the condemnation of the poisonous
carnations which were caused by the
heat of the MONDAY III to rise far above
the earth; this condensation makes the
air 8 heavy at sundOwn, made heavy by
the greater solidihcatiOn of the emana-
tons by cold: and resting on the Gurfa ce
of the earth in their more concentrated
and malignant form, they are breathed
into the lungs, and swallowed into the
stomach, corrupting and poisoning the
blood with great rapidity. By daylight
these COMBINATIONS are made so compact
by the protracted GOODNESS of the night,
that they are too near the surface of the
earth to be breathed into the system; but
as the sun begins to ascend, these heavy
c~ondensations, miasms, begin to rise again
to the hight of several feet above the
ground, and are freely taken int the
by every breath INT swallow;
hence the hours Of sunrise and sunset are
the most ~unhealthful of all the hours of
tWenty-four in the localities named; and
noontide, when the sun is the hottest, is
the most healthy portion of The day, be-
the miRsm is so much rarefied that
it ascends rapidly to the upper regions.
The general lessons are: Ffrst-Avoid ex-
DOsurss to the out d0Or air in miasmatic
localities for the hours including sunrise
set. Second-HAve a blazing fire on
The hssrth of the family room at those
hours, to rarely and send the miasm up
ward. Third-TRke breakfast before GO
-ng out of doors in the morning, and take
ga before shutdown; then being out after
night is not injurious.
