eigaty- three Of these, six hundred and
twcnty.four were from yellow fever, and
two hundred and ninety from unknown
and other causes.
DR. Blackburn, who has charge Of the
Withal iniirmary, writes in regard to the
origin of the yellow fever in Memphis as
follows;
Its path is so plain and patent that all
can trace it The towboat Bee came from
Shreveport to this port; the captain
(Culis) died when few miles above
Memphis; his body was brought back,
One Of the crew of the boat came ashore
with fever, and asked the privilege of en-
tering the house of kind hearted old
Irishman named Riley. Riley, true to
the instincts Of his race, ever ready to
p. o,cct and defend the weak, 20 aid the
need, and succor the sick, Invited him to
enter his abode Tho sailor lived but a
few hours. The generous Riley soon
sickened and died one after another OF
his family were stricken down, until all
were taken by this rapacous monster
From this tenement, 1t has spread to its
now horrible and huge proportions,
Capt John Shirley also came from
Shreveport. He and his wife both died
SO did Mr.. Wheaton and his son. Here
are thrco unmistakuble channels by which
the disease entered Memphis Yet with
all these indisputable facts, there are per
sons 50 blind and obstinate as to endeav
or to foist this epidcmic upon the already
overloaded hobby of maaria-the myth

consistency IN supporting Joseph Brooks :
First cast the beam out ofyour own eye, Doc
tor. then lecture.P Van Buren, Press.
Now 1t seems 10 us that this 1. the very
"quintcssencc OF absurdity. Did not the
democratic convention which met at Little
Rock on the 10th OF June, OF which was q
member and likewise my friend Dulham,en-
dorse Brooks as our candidate Tor governor? I?
-N9atieeUoaian.
Yes, we accepted Mr. Brooks, bal IN SO do
Ing we did not make him democrat, or IN
still any den. ,cracy into him. We laila
all featy to the democratic party and went
for The man and his promises OF reform--aa out
ana out republican with no other prctcnce in
the hop3s that he could fuill his promises
anl help the people Of the State out of their
troubles. There Is just as much democratic
consistency in supporting BANTER SO far Us

Mr.. BROOKS. Neither were tho real choice
Of the Conservative masses OF the State We

Further on the .Naticeiioniaa, says:
But hew Is it with Dunham. All Of a sud-
den. very strange whims come over the
dreams of the man. Baxter gave him the
public printing of Crawford, and siaee that
time, aud not until that time. lie has been wor-
shipping the very man whom he had So re.
Gently deaouuccd as a usurpcr, and whom he
had denounced IN the bitterest terms and dis
earded and even abused, and denounced the
man whom Ee had so earnestly and manfslly
advocated.
We shall enter ints no controversy aud have
only this to say DR.. BARRY wilially p1rverts
the truth. wilfully for he Is supposed to be
posted, or should be before lie makes such
false statements. lie knows or should know,
that We gave Mr.. BANTER our support. when
he cut himself loose from the leaders Of his
party. before the Legislature adjourned. And
that the printing ofthis County was not given
to the Press until July-thrce months after

DEAR FATHER last I find my
self in the long hoped for situation
in Leipzig,-it is easier said than
done, though. I left New York
city on the Gath Of May, and the
tenth day out we saw the coast of
Ireland, at Fastnet Light House.
The coast of Ireland is very rocky;
the rocks towering high above the
water, with no nothing but
grass on them-it looked nice tho

next day at the Isle of Anglesea

here are over seven hundred feet

In LIVERPOOL I stopped at the North
Western Hotel, Galmost as good az
the Avenue House of r. It was
a splendid Hotel and they know
how to charge for it too. Liver

Oshkosh Northwestern says: ssThe
number of dead snakes along the
railroad is perfectly wonderful.
Thousands Of them lie mangled be-
side the rails between here and the
asylum. On the first warm days of
spring, they crawl from their re-
treats in the swamps, and lie in the
sun across the warm rails until
some passing train cuts them into
pieces. In some places along the
track especially near the deepest
marshes-they lie so thick that
there is an average of several
dead snakes to the railroad tie"
