THE QUARANTINE.


The report of the Health Officer
of the port Of Charleston, herewith
transmitted, furnishes together with
large fund of useful and pertinent
information, tho gratifying , intelli-
gence that no case of yellow fever or
small pox, or other epidemic disease,
has been imported into any of the
cities on our coast during the present
year. This immunity from the intro
duction from abroad of pestilence
into our midst, is due largely to the
unwearied energy and slecpless vigi
lance of the Health Officer above
referred to, Dr.. Robert Lebby, who
has utilized the limited means placed

Mrs. JOAQUIN MILLER.-SIrs. Minnie
Myrtle Miller (wife of Joaquin, the "POet
of the sierras,'D lectured in Cincinnati
on Friday evening on "Men and Women
OF the Pacific" The lecture is spoken Of
in terms Of commentator by the Gazette,
which thus describes the woman:
"She is somewhat above the medium
height, with largo soft gray eyes, and a
wealth Of dark brown hair, falling IN
large ringlets over her shoulders in such
careless profusion as to bewilder the in
vestigating eyes OF even those who are
thoroughly familiar with all the mysteries
OF hair dressing. Properly speaking she
Is not an elOCutionist, but the enunciatlOn
being quite distinct aud clear, the manner
natural, and her ideas accompanied with
quiet playing over the features Of
an expressive face, no single shade Of
meaning is lost to the hGarer. Her style
of addressing IN audience, though suita.
bio IN the pArlor, is yet powerful and
effective on the platform She Is at once
woman OF observation, discernment,
andOl deep poetic character, and who.
ever hears her will feel compelled TO Rd.
nit that II Joaquin Miller is q remarka.
BILE man, Minnie Myrtle Miller Is a more
remarkable woman"

From the March Bcribner.)
In discussing NJ. Bessemer's saloon steam
or u writer says: Persons suffering from
sea sickness complain not only ofgiddi-
ness, arising from themselves and every
thing about them being continually in
motion, but also in particular Of qualm
which comes over them every time the
ship or tho part Of 1t on which they are
standing, is defending, sinking as it were
from under their feet. An approach to
this qualm is commonly felt in garden
swing during tho descent, and also in
jumping from considerable heights. There
can be very little doubt that this Is due
to tho fact that the lntestinessHare then
wholly or partly relieved from their own
weight, and therefore exercise IN unusual
pressure against the stomach, liver, and
diaphragm. This pressure produces the
qualm, and It's rapid and frequent alter
nations cause sufficient irritation 10 pro
duce in most people seq sickness, and 10
some persons more serious effects. Phys.
iologists are by no means agreed as to
how much Of SEQ sickness is due 10 this
cause, and how much to the reaction upon
the stomach Of tho brain disturbance.

A Disappointed Dog.

From the Troy Times, Feb. ~
Here is q true dog story: A family
down town, having false crate in one Of
the rooms Of the house, placed some red
paper behind Il to give the effect of fire.
One Of the coolest days this winter the
dog belonging to the household came in
from out Of doors, and, seeing the paper
in the CRATE, deliberately walked up to IT
and laid down before II, curled up in the
best way to receive the glowing heat as
It came from the fire. He remained mo-
tionless for q few minutes; feeling no
warmth, he raised his head and looked
over his shoulder at tho crate. still feel
ing no heat, he arose and carefully APP
piled bis nose 10 the crate and smelt OF
It. It was as cold as ice. With q look
oftho most supreme disgust, his tail cuFled
down between his legs, eVetY hair on his
body saying, I'm sold" the dog trotted
out Of the room.

The YIrglnIa SECESSION ORDNANCE.

The Virginia Secession Ordinance
A rather curious demand Is made on the
State Department by some Of the present
authorities OF Virginia, it being Tor the
original draft OF the ordinance Of seces.
sion adopted by the Virginia State Con.
vention in 1861. The particulars are Civ
en- in report by James Mcdonald, Sec
retarV OF State Of Virginia, to the Legisla-
tive Joint Committee on the State Libra.
ry. he says that he first learned that the
papers were in the hands of Judge John
q. Underwood, and that he wrote to him,
with the approval OF the Governor, claim.
Ing the parchment as tho property oil the
State. He replied that 1t was loaned to
him by Secretary Seward in 1865, and
that he subsequently returned it, Mr..
Mcdonald then addressed himself to the
State Department at Washington, renew
ing the claim Of Virginia to the document,
and was told In reply, very properly, that
the paper in question is, and has been, Tor
years on file in the Department and that,
10 the opinion Of the Secretary, he is not
authorized to remove 1t or part with il.
In conclusion, Mr.. Mcdonald says: II
trust that other and more successful
means may DO employed to recover pos.
session Of this interesting document, which
Is clearly the property Of tho State, and
the acquisition Of which by any holder
can hardly be accounted for reputably."
On the point there may be two opinions,
but the Virginia Legislature is to be at
once asked 10 pass resolution, already
introduced in one Of the houses, calling
upon the National State Department to
give up this piece oil property.

TIE members Of tho Legislature De-
longing to the dominant party held q eau.
Gus a few days ago at Charleston, and
sdopted a manifesto for the benefit of the
faithful throughout the State. The docu-
ment is fully set forth in one of the
Charleston letters printed in our columns
this morning. The legislative gentlemen
cannot help showing that they feel very
keenly the popular condemnation oil their
frivolous and discreditable course; and
they are foolish enough to undertake to
arraigu and castigatc the Democratic pa
pers which have had the honest independ-
euce to Join in this condemnation. The
writer OF the resolutions had evidently lost
his temper; and in attempting this YER
bal Chastisement Of the Democratic
press because 1t would not sCrvilely ex-
cuse and defend things that could neither
be excused nor defended, he has mistaken
the proper relations Of the Legislature
and press, as well as the temper ct the
people. This Legislature is ashoEt'lived
body. While its disgraceful acts may be
remembered for the harm they do--as
"the evil that men do lives after them
the body itself will soon be out Of power
and he forgotten; but the press, which in
the Interest Of the public, derounccs leg.
islalIve verality and incompetency will
live on, seeing successive Legislatures
come and go, and bcholding successive
factions and parties rise and fall. Those
Democratic papers which have character
enough 10 make their praise sought or their
censurc feared, will hardly be frightened
out of their propriely, we imagine, by
this bull from BENNETT & Co. Let tho
gentlemen who composed that caucus
show a little honest zeal for public inter
ests instead OF their own, and VIC promise
them their party press will be ready and
glad to say something in their praise.
But until they do this, they have 70 right
to expect it.

TIE recurrence of WAsHINdToN's birth
day afforded the Legislature IN opportu-
nifty for the profitless occupation of time
that was too precious to be lost. Accord.
ingly, as We ind from the report in the
Courier, protractcd debate occurred in
the Senate over the momcntOus question
whether the Farewell Address should or
should not be read. 1t cost some two or
three hundred dollars to settle the quGs-
ton. A days debate on a proposition to
increase the pay of the pages would be a
good thing about this stage Of the game.
