THE SITUATION.

There is little doubt that the yellow
fever as an epidemic has ceased 10 exist
in Memphis. The Board of Health is
properly very cautious about making
such an announcement, but many alb
sentees will return now on their judg-
ment. Already we see number on our
streets, and others will come on every
train. We have only to reiterate what
we have said before, that people had as
we'll or better wait until advised official
ly that it is safe for them to return. Tie
LEDGER was prompt to accept the state
ment of the Board when it declared the
presence of yellow fever here on the
18th Of September. and in every
issue since we have endeavored
to give the unvarnished truth.
If any sensation was created it was by
terrible facts, and not from our candid
manner of stating them. We still look
to the Board of Health as authority upon
the subject, and cannot anticipate their
action. But we can say that no new
cases could be heard Of up to one o clock
to-day. The weather continues cool and
favorable. Our mortuary list shows a
total of l3--of this i from the fever.
The abatement bids fair to be rapid and
final. The thermometer stands at 4OO,
but the spirits of our gallant workers in
the good cause stand too high to be reg
istered. Although mindful OF our aiflic-
tions, a smile is on almost every face,
and the streets begin to move with the
instincts of life and cheerfulness. The
brighter day has dawned, and in short
time our city will wear an aspect OF
activity and energy not seen for nearly
wear Absentees will soon fill up their
places, and our generous country friends
will rush in TO shake hands with us and
take look at the battle-ground.

LET US BE THANKFUL.

Last night there was not only freeze,
but the most glorious frost of the season.
This is the fifth or sixth one, but equal
to all the others in one. 1t was like a
little snow out in the suburbs and the
ountry. The landscape was white
with the delicate frost work. the house
tops glstened, the fences, trees, grass,
and every object was touched with a
beautiful coat of natures great purifier.
The ground was spewed up by the frost;
the little pools and brooks were covered
with ice from quarter to half an inch
thick, and the air was as pure and crisp
as if the earth had but come fresh from
the hand of the Almighty in the first
morning of its existence. The trees Of
the forest acknowledged the power Of
the great change by yielding their dark
ly bright and brown leaves to fall, limp
and dead, to the bosom of mother earth,
and the sky seemed never SO clear blue

most as if man could look up through
to the courts of heaven in Offering them
cense of thankful hearts to the great
Giver of every good and perfect gift. 1t
is indeed an occasion for offering up
thanks for our merciful preservation
through the midst of so much
peril gloom and death Who can
breathe the fresh air Of this bright, sweet
morning, which brings relief to SO many
minds and hearts, without offering at
least silent prayer that we may be suf
fciently thankful and have wisdom to
profit by the terrible visitation which
God has sent upon us. The ordinary
battle of life its-business and its ambl-
tons, its pettyIand its great cares-will
soon be resumed. But let us strive to
be better, more charitable in our feelings
toward all men, conservative, vigilant in
every duty, and ever act worthy of
people who have gone through such
great afIliction and yet have strong
hearts for what is left of the day.

An Obituary EDITOR.

1
The ST. Louis Republican has an ap
plicant for the position Of obituary edi'
tor. His letter asking for the situation
gives sample Of his abilities. He
says:
Our parents were wealthy but honest
and Of course We are now poor; but we
can live on very little, because Mary
Ann and ! have made ourselves into q
grange and buy at retail at wholesale
prices.
May be you have full corps to do
your iunny writing, so il you will en-
gage me will do anything in the obitu-
arian line; it will suit our feelings bet.
ter, for Mary Ann and | have been in
ailliction lately. Great GRANDMOTHER
Peck died last week, aged CXIX.
She died once before, when she was
ninety-six, but just after she was laid out
she seemed TO remember somehow that
she had forgotten TO finish footing
stocking for her youngest boy,
who was only seventy.four years of
age; so she came TO again, and as
winter was coming on, and so much
knitting to be done, she concluded to
keep on for twenty years or so The doc
tor thinks il she amt disturbed she is
gone for good this time. Me and Mary
Ann sat up with her to the last, and she
was checked of into the full fruition Of
all her faculties. | couldn't help moral
izing as sat by her bedside how lean a
person can getand yet consume SO much
gruel--she beat anything all hollow that
| ever saw Poor old soul, she WAS so
lean that the mosquitoes had ceased TO
be burden, they used TO light on her
and hammer on her skull with their
bills till the room sounded like tele-
graph office, then they would scratch
their heads with their hiHd legs and
sail out of the window, worn out. She
seemed to gain a little flesh after we
came here from Chicago. and got new
spirits; but somebody told her that her
name was accidentally left out of Ed
wards Directory, and she fell of
again. She hadn't walked any to
speak of for the last twenty-five
years, and it used to console her to think
how much she had saved on shoes.
When / look at the old calico cushion
with its faded roses that she sat embow-
cred in since she was l04, heave sigh
at the transitoriousness Of all subluna-
rian comfort, Her eyes got so weak
that she wore seven pair OF glasses for
spell, but they warn't strong enough for
her TO get the sense out OF her Scriptures,
SO we had pair of opera glasses mount
ed so she could wear them ON her nose.
She sat up the heftiest part Of the day
before she snuhed out, and told me many
things conf2entiarily. She remembered
distinctly when General Washington got
the check cashed that 0akes Ames gave
him for signining the Pacific railroad
bill-and she was quite big girl when
Cyrus Field and Hendrick Hudson
brung the Atlantic cable over in the
May Flower. What is home without a

WHAT NEXTl

Last year at this time we had some
cases Of smallpox; the lOathsome dis.
case was permiited to drag its course
through the entire viRter, aud patients
were carried TO the City Hospital where
they no doubt communicated il 10 per-
sons sick from other causes. Then the
cholera made its appearance, but WAS
hardly recognized as it was facetiously
styled "ibe prevailing, the 2. ID.
aud the "so,eslled disease" II dissp'
peared, after a rather light visitation,
about the irst Of July. Meanwhile the
LrDGES had earnestly suggested the ne
eessity for sttoHg board of health, but
the only board established until recently
