Gomez, entered the city ~ Nucyltls "a midnight
of the Goth ot August. The force consisted Of

The Ycllow rcvcr and Negro Troops

In another part of our columns viii be
found letter from Key West, reporting
some facts OF interest respecting the yell

an idea suggested by its porusal which

The yellow fever rarely if ever attacks
negroes raised in the South, and it is o
remarkable fact that TO them the disease
is not fatal.
Year after year the dismal story comes
mp from these districts that our soldiers are
dying Of yellow fever, Tho glaycyurds
of Pensacola, Mobile New Orleans, Key
West, and TortuHs are Gucd with the
bones Of mon who have persisted ia those
places from that disease, and for whuti Is
il necessary 70 occupy those points at all;
What object is gained by it, l. there any
enemy who would seize th2m if the little
garTisons Of hlty men each were removed ;
We think not.
But if these places must be garris0ncd,
from foolish fear Of a sudden capture by
spain or England, il certainly is the duty
Of the Government to occupy them with
oolorcd soldiers, who VIII not be dccimatud
by the climate.
This reform seems to us so necessary ana
SO IN accordance with common sense rs TO
require only the mention Of il to the Sec
retary TO have it adopted, saving valuable
lives TO the army and the country.

When the wind blows!
And the rushing noise of trees,
Shouting, shrieking OH the leas,
Like the sound of seething seas,
Wheu the wind blows!
Oh, the bending of the bows,
When the wind blows!
The quaver and the quiver
Of reed along the river
The shudder and the shiver-
When the wind blows!
Oh, the shifting of the clouds,
When the wind blows!
Sailing swiftly on between
The wide blue world and the green,
Casting stripes Of shade and sheen,
When the wind blows!
Oh, the drifting of the snow,
When the wind blows!
Showing, in the cold moonlight,
Fallen trees hid under white,
Like great ghosts in bed at night,
When the wind blows!
Oh, the comfort of the fire,
When the wind blows!
To hear the song and chat
Of the kettle and the cat,
And the cricket on the mat,
When the wind blows!

How DRINKING CAUSES APoPLExY,
1t is the essential nature OF all
wines and spirits to send an increased
amount of blood to tie brain. Ihe
first effect of taking q glass of wine
or stronger form of alcohol. is to send
the blood there faster than common
hence the circulation that gives the
red fuce. 1t increases the activity ol
the brain, and it works faster, and sc
does the tongue. But suppose q man
keeps on drinking, the blood is sen1
to the brain so fast, in such large
quantities, that in order to make
room for it the arteries have to en-
large themselves; they increase ir
size, and in doing 30 they press against
she more yielding and faced veins
which carry the blood out OF the
brain, and thus diminish their size
their pores, tho result being that the
blood is not only carried to the arter
les of the brain faster than is natura
or healthful, but it is prevented from
leaving il as fast as usual; hence
double set of causes Of death are il
operation. A man may drink enough
brandy or other spiritsin few hours
or in q few minutes, to bring on (
fatal attack Of apoplexy.
