The VIENNA OPENING = A SUGGESTIVE
ScENE.-In his letter to the New York Times
descriptive of the opening of the Vienna ex-
position, Russell draws the following suggestive
picture:
1t was in truth, a strange congregation
enough to look at even in this year of grace,
1873, and in the indvdualisias present were re-
corded great changes in the history of the
world. Three years ago it would have been
strange not to have beheld the Emperor of
France standing there haply on the right of the
Kaizer, to whom he gave such potent and UNI
forgiven and in his time of trouble; but now all
of France visible was grave, lachrymose lion,
towering on its pedestal above the new coali-
ton, and seemingly regarding with fixed atten-
Imperial of Germany, as he, poised in his
favorite attitude stood with both hands On
huge steel pommel of his heavy sword firmly
resting on his right leg, and with his left adj
moral in the interest with which an Aus rian
crowd gazed upon the heir to the throne of the
imperial Germany. How the ghosts of the
Hapsburgs must have raJtled their dry bones
at the fact of a Hohenzollern being by all men
admitted as Of right the coming "Deutsch-
lands Kaiser!' There he was, nevertheless,
the kindly, gentle, liberal imam of war;" vic
tor at Konniggratz victor at Worth, conqueror
at Sedan, investor of Paris, who would not, if
he could, stay it that war should ever rage, and
yet VINO would not yleld u pOlnC Oh uaIiOnal
honor to menace of any force. In peace de-
monstration like this the presence of the Crown
Prince was pregnant commentary of the
value of those anticipations of an era of uni
versal tranquility, or at worst endless arbitra-
lions. The juxtaposition of some of his inn
perial highness' neighbors might make a nerv-
GUS man uneasy On his left little in the
rear, was the Crown Prince of Denmark, from
whom Prussia united with Austria had wrench
ed such a large payment of his fathers gallant
little kingdom. On his right was the emperor,
to whom the success of his arms had cost the
italian possessions of the Hapsburgs. Beyond
him was the Prince of Wales, brother Of his
wife, husband of the Danish princess who has
never ceased to grieve over the misfortunes of
her beloved country, and who can never forgive
the Prussans who mainly wrought the wrong
Further again to the right was he burly figure
OF the Duke of Coburg, who has been in fear
and trembling for the 6onors he is to beoueatb
to his nephew, another brother of the crown
princess, and who was swept up in the rutk of
princes 10 unwilling antagonism to Austria in
1906. There is not German potentate there
to whom Prussia has not been dictator or a
master or a despoiler in some way or other.
And is Prussia the worse or the Crown Prince
the less honored for it? Not at ALL The Crown
Prince of Belgium would be very glad indeed
to hear that there never will be a question
again of partition of his little kingdom.

The Oxford Democrat makes haste to as
sumo that Judge Kent is the candidate Of a
ring. If we should state that its favorite was
the candidate of ring it would become indig-
nant at once. We have not done SO, but on
the contrary have distinctly declared that
MrsDingley would not use the Office of Gov
ernor If he is elected to help any man to the
United States Senate. We believe it. Now
why cannot the Democrat, when we have re-
peatedIy declared that the PRESS supports
Judge Kent because we sincerely believe that
the best interests of the party organization
and of the State require it, and not by the
advice of any so called ring, give us the credit
of acting honorably about the matter and at
least of being truthful? Manly opposition
would seem to dictate that course. sa

In the Harper for June, Mr.. Charles
Ncrdhoff recently of the New York Evening
Post, shows that the present penitentiary
system of the country costs ten millions, and
repays less than half of it and makes the prs-
oners worse rather than better. He recon-
meIds that for a punishment the coun-
try revive the exploded system Of penal
colony for the worst of criminals. The writ
er says that Alaska is an out of the way and
at present expensive piece of real estate to the
government, without population because of
its unfortunate location. He claims for it a
bracing climate with all those rigors of nature
that will require the highest human effort to
exist and leave those who are sent there no
time to think of crime and old associations.
Mr.. Nordhoff believes that daily struggle with
the rugged forces of nature that Alaska pres
ents will have the effect to ennoble even the Or
binary state prison convict, and, in the absence
of banks to rob and horses to steal, will even
tually make man of him. We are not so
clear what the effect would be upon the con-
Wet, but are free to express our conviction
that he can't do Alaska any material damage.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-10-02

EDITORS APPEAh-Physieians disa-
greeing has from time immemOrial been
proveTbial. This can be accounted for
readily from the fact that medicine is
more speculative and not so exact ~
other sciences. And then, again, We have
such a variety Of schools in this day Uf
progress, that teach and instruct their
classes on conflicting theories aud prin-
ciples in medicine, which produces an
antagOnism of thought that often cliugs
tc the physician as it influenced the pu-
pil, greatly to the detriment OF medical
science. That yellOw-iever exists in
Memphis is a settled fact with many Of
the good physicians. In south Mem
phis there has been but very few cases
of vellow-fever, and quite number Of
bilious remitting-fever, that has yielded
readily to proper treatment, and very
few deaths. This fact does not prove
that there is no yellOw-fever in Pinch
neither does the fact that there are ply
sicians residing in south Memphis who
have not seen any clear cases of the
vomito prove that there is none in the
city. It is not often seen-bilious re-
mitting-fever-to enter a town or city,
and depopulate it as Pinch has been.
This fever is not generally in such
hurry to do up its work as yellow and
eongestive-fevers. The APPEAL says
there are eminent physicians in the city
who have seen in the valley Of the Mis-
sissippi bilious remitting-fever with
blaeK-vomit, such as is presented by the
eases here. Now, | have no intention OF
calling in question the statements OF
these eminent physicians, but must con-
fess that feel somewhat perplexed that
l should have spent more than half my
days in the swamp and ON the hills bOr-
dering the great valley, ana yet Il have
never seen any Of these cases. More
over, if you wish TO see real malignant
type of bilious-fever, go to the neighbor-
ing hills, not to the swamp. Hemate-
mesis often occurs in diseases, but it is
easily distinguished from the black
vOmit OF yellow-fever. livery frequent
ly happens that yellow-fever, for time,
masks itself under bilious form, but
biliOus-fever never takes on the yellow
fever type only when forced TO do so by
the presence Of yellow-fever. J. t. X.
