DrsRAsRs N MRMpHIs, AND WHY.

1t cannot have failedto strike the attention of
any intelligent reader that the city of Memphis,
Tennessee, seems peculiarly liable to visitation
by all sorts of epidemic diseases A few weeks
ago Il was ravaged by the cholera. That disap-
peared, and now it has the yellow fever. By
both the city has suffered terribly. There is a
reason for these viaitations, of course, and in
order to find IT., we probably do not need to look
beyond the fact that Memphis is disgustinsly
unclean. 1t was stated, little while ago, that
Il had no Board Of Health. and now we find some
fuller details of kindred sort in editorial ar
ticle Of the Appeal, of the 29th. inst. That pa
per says;
I'VE have no system Of sewerage in Mem
plis, and the necessary consequence is that
the filth OF the city is left to take care OF itself
Our sanitary police consist, for the most parton
some half dozen Of the chain gang, who coca
sionally do little more than emancipate the
confined odors Of the kennels of Main street,
and give wings to imprisoned etfiuvia. Our al
leys and obscure streets are left to the rag pick
ers to porcne and canine scavengers, to cleanse
them of their superfuoas foulness, and were It
not it for the rains of plying heaven, would OF
themselves give abundant employment to our
undertakers and grave diggers. And yet these
the least OF the Objectionable features touch
ing the violation Of the laws OF hygiene in Mem
phis. We almost shudder when we consider the
condition of every private family in Memphis in
the matter Of a supply Of pure water. Nearly
every family in the city is dependent upon els
tern for supply of water, nearly every cistern in
the same yard in close proximity to, and gener-
ally in direct geographical line with, the priyy
No intelligent man need be told of the percola-
tive and absorbent qualities Of the earth, and no
Memphisn need be reminded Of the difficulty Of
finding cistern water in the city free from i'm
purities.o of animalculR induced by decomposition.
The train OF evils following these disagreeabie
truths will suggest themselves to the Intelligent
reader without further elaboration"
This is frightful story, and sufficient to ex-
plain why Cholera and Yellow Fever have ravag-
Ell the city. 1t is positive testimony to the ne.
cessity of clean streets thorough sanitary precau-
tions, and above all things else, supply OF pure
water. Foul odors may not poison, but impure
drinking water surely will

THE VOLUME OF CURRENCY IN. CIRCULA-

TON.
The fact that Secretary Richardson, in making
his October payments, has drawn something
over two millions from the forty-four
million reserve, seems to occasion as acute
distress to some Of the papers, as the fact
that the whole amount has not been let loose
does to others. What odds does it make, at any
rate 1t is now generally conceded, that for
the disbursements of the Government the Sec
rotary may draw from this reserve legally. Hav-
ing this authority by law, the expediency of ex-
ercising it is the only question remaining, and
when the fact ia considered that of the 1885,
100000. OF currency supposed to be in circula-
ton, large amount is really. destroyed or lost,
1t seems hardly worth while to worship that
9 xact figure Of presumed circulation, and worry
because two or three millions-or twenty-are
added to it, If it were ascertained to be the pre-
else measure of the countrys need for the pur.
poses Of circulating medium,it might be worthy
Of our respect, but nobody positively knows
whether it is too much or too little, while the
strongest testimony inclines to show that it s
far from being sufficient, at the periods of great
est activity in business when the crops are being
moved, and that it is quite probable that Secre-
tary Richardson could do no greater good to the
country than to release every cent of the forty
four millions. An addition to the volume Of cur
rency, OF some twelve per cent, would not dc
fatal damage, certainly,

The Boston Transcript says: The neatest
achieyements OF a tornado which passed over
Sullivan county, New Hampshire, some days
ago, was the removal Of the house OF BUSHNELL
Benway. of Flast Unity. The house was heavy
one, forty-two by twenty-eight feet. 1t was in
staneousy taken from its foundation aud moved
forty feet as il it had slid on ice. Scarcely an
underpinning stone was displaced, not a thing
was dropped into the cellar which was deep aud
Of the size of the house. nor was the ground
where it stopped much disturbed. Mr.. Benway
was pumping pail Of water in the back ROOM
and his wife was in the front room; both were
carried along only being aware
that some terrible blow had fallen
upon their dwelling, but having no suspicion that
ii had been moved, and neither OF them
was hurt. Many of the windows were dashed
cut: every article OF crockery or gass was broken
to pieces; clothes that were hanging about and
other things were scattered rods away. The
back side OF the house coming in contact with the
front doorstep, and perhaps the underpinning,
the latter was Handsomely laid upon the ground
inside down, and although badly racked the
house stood, while the shed some thirty feet in
length. at the end, was entirely demolished.

A Toronto letter represents Joseph Arch as
being intensely loyal" to the British lion. and
extremely indisposed to think that the agrcul-
tural laborers of England can do anywhere so
well as in Canada. His companion, Arthur
Clayden, states that for those who come over
under the supervision Of himself and Arch and
their co-workers, there must be cottages pro-
vided, in the English style-they do not desire
to live as "help in the families of their employ
ees, but to have homes of their own. This is
very reasonable suggestion, where it relates to
men with families, and in the old States, such as
those Of this section, there will be no difficulty
in providing such accommodation. AS we Hug-
gested, fortnight ago, the class of laborers with
whom Mr.. Arch il understood to be identified
are peculiarly likely to find their most suitable
homes on the Atlantic Coast, near the great city
markets, where agriculture and market garden
ing have reached the most advanced stage. On
such farms, it is usual to provide houses for the
workmen, and here, we think, Mr.. Arch
should lock for homes for his associates.

Two Kansas Girls with n Queer Disease.
They have couple of prodigles in Kansas in
the shape of two girls who are afflicted with
disease to which medical men find it difficult to
apply a name. They take sudden fits of some
thing or other, nobody knows what and go
around in all forms, biting the legs of chairs
and tables. They handle red hot Goals and put
them into their mouths, and laugh at it az if it
were the jolliest kind of sport imaginable One
day doctor visited them aud found both girls
under the spell. He says he saw one crawling
about, biting the legs Of the chairs and tables
while the other was talking laughing, and dan
cling around the floor in a most unnatural man
ner, The legs of the chairs and tables bore evil
dences OF the frequent spells of the one that
was in the habit Of biting, by being gnawed and
bitten out as a horses manger. He tried to
catch the girl who was dancing around, but she
eyaded him in the most skillful way talking to
him laughing heartily, but in manner that would
make the flesh creep. The other girl paid no
attention to him, but kept continually crawling
from one object to another, and biting them all
as she passed. tits peculiarly with these af-
hlcted chewers that az soon az one of them says
II want, the spell is broken. In fact the
doctor finally caught the little girl,
when she said Don't touch me: let me
alone want'-and that breaking the spell she
turned color as white an driven snow, and both
burst out crying and retired to distant part of
the room, their arms around each other and
could not be prevailed upon to say anotherword,
As rule woman begins togrow excited as soon
as she says Il want, particularly if her husband
or papa buttons his pocket and talks about hard
times; but here is case in which she no sooner
tnds she wants something than she grows calm.
