ruy SANITARY QUESTION.

The General Council when meets To-
day will doubtless act upon the thorough
sanitary code submitted by the Board OF
Health. 1t is a copy, as far as appli-
cable. from the New York ordinance
which was founded upon long experience
and drawn up by scientific men, who had
devoted their lives TO the study oil
hygiene and the laws of health. II 1t is
not exactly adapted to Memphis, few
months will develop any changes that
NAV be necessary. At present nothing
better perhaps, could be offered or
adopted. The necessity for thorough
sanitary reform is toe well known by all
the people to require further iteration
from any source. The first step was
taken in the right direction when the
present Board of Health was established
as permanent institution. The second
great step will be taken when a soaiiary
code is adopted, conforming, as we sup
pose this does, to the laws Of the State
and to our local necessities. Then the
work of reformation will begin in earn
est. The city is yeti filthy condition,
ripe for the next epidemic that may
come along. This state of affairs is
not chargable to the. Board of Health,
because, as yet, it is powerless from the
want Of means to accomplish the heavy
work before it. Its members will be
held to a strict accountability when fur
nished the power and facilities required
to give efficiency. But the General
Council has duty to perform noi0, and
we warn them not to shirk the issue, or try
to postpone action until after the city
election. The lives Of our people in
volved are too precious to be tempered
with or put in jeopardy by personal in
terests or political aspirations, of any
man. Those who prove unequal to
the present emergency will be found in
the vocative hereafter. The Board Of
Health might issue its own orders and
attempt to enforce its own code, but
municipal edict would have more force.
The Board of Health was not created to
supercede the city government, and
would doubtless be slow to take step
of any kind from which the General
Council would show a disposition to
shrink. Bishop Quintard says cleaHli-
ness is akin to holiness. Let US have
cleanliness at any cost.

CAPTAIN FRY, OF THE vIRGINIUs.


The gallant gentleman whose name
heads this article was lately murdered
by the brutal representatives of Spain
in Cuba. Captain Fry will be known to
many of our citizens when we tell them
who he is. He was a Floridian, and
entered the navy of the United
States on the 10Th of September, lS4l,
and the navy of the Confederate States
on the Goth of March, 1861. He com
manded small gunboat called the Ivy,
and passed up and down between New
Orleans and Columbus, Kentucky, sew
eral times in 1861. Iu the first part of
1862 he commanded the gunboat Mau-
rspas, one of Hollins feet and in
the fights about Tiptonville, the Comme-
dore frequently complained that Fry
would not keep in the place assigned to
him, but would crowd" the batteries
aud do more than his share of the work.
Upon the fall of Memphis, two of Hol-
Inns vessels were sent TO Arkansas. The
Maurepas, under Fry, went up White
river to a point below St. Charles, where
her guns were landed and placed in bat
terry. The gunboats of the enemy made
a vigorous attack on the work, and were
fairly and thoroughly thrashed and
driven away. One was blown up and
her entire crew killed. The place, how
ever, was hanked and Captain Fry was
dangerously wounded and fell into the
hands of the enemy. At Mound City,
ILL.,, he came near dying of bis wounds,
but was nursed by the Sisters of Mercy
and survived, he being a very devoted
and enthusiastic Catholic. After his ex.
change he was sent to run the blockade
for the government, where he remained
until towards the close Of the war. lie
was noted for his gallantry and great
generosity Of character He cleared his
ship for action in a manner that would
nave delighted Nelson, and was as kind
to his crew and officers as il they had
been his children. After the war be
went to live in New Orleans, and though
industrious and frugal found it difficult
to support his large family, and was no
doubt in great poverty when he accepted
the command Of the Virginius. At the
time of bis death Captain Fry was about
forty-eight years Of age, but looked much

Pa,ts,nn sorceress TroubIe.


A few days since a woman named
Margaret Pharamot, who for the last
FIVE years has professed the trade OF
sorceress at q Rue de la Care, in Paris,
was arrested on the complaint of a young
girl, to whom she had sold some false
hair which she alleged had been taken
from a woman who died of love on the
night of all Saints. when just twenty
years of age. This hair was supposed
to have the marvellous property of con-
auering the obdurate heart of any man
whose love was wished for. The young
woman who bought it adjusted it TO her
chignon, but was disappointed fifteen
DAYS afterward to find that the faithless
lover instead of returning to her, had
married some one else.
The consultation room of the sorceress
was adorned with stuffed animals and a
blackened broomstick used in the Wal
purgis revels of the witches stood in
one corner. For each interview two
francs was charged, and this tariff of
prices was hung up:
A tibia inner shin bone Of an old man
charm for acquisition OF wealth............ 9Ot.
philtre, TO make one lOved........ 21t.
A tOad's eye, to cure all kinds Of disease..lOOf.
The clients of La Pharamot we're not
alone among the lower classes, but she
had many among the aristocracy.
A member of the Commune during
the instruction bought philtres from
her in order to insure the triumph of
his cause. The sorceress now attributes
its failure to the fact that be omitted to
pay for the charms. This of course de.
stroyed their potency.
The trial of this woman is soon to
take place.

lous fox and the wildcat for the wolf,
while the goat is forgotten in the ante

deer. Around these fires they also con-
coct marvellous yarns, which might be
