YELLOW FEVER.

WHen epiVeIHlcS pTcNuiI, iHlpcTIiI1p
human life, men should be careful in
advice, and cautious in advancing
theories. But facts are ftlHtp, Yellow
fever has Its law Of limit, perhaps as
distinctly defined III we understood il
az wcli), as are the laws which say ia
ordinary malarial fevers, thus far and
no further. Malarial fever can not
possibly terminate where there is no
malaria.
Yellow fever may exist In northern
latitudes, as II has in Norfolk, Phila-
delphia and New York; but II only does
40 IN places almost on level with the
sea, where imported eases come in con-
tact with extraordinary local malaria.
On the other hand, 1t never does pre-
vail above some fixed altitude, IN or
climate. II New Orleans were ms high
above the sea level as San Antonio,
1t Is safe, from long experience, to
assume that yellow fever could not
become epidemic there. Unfortu-
nately New Orleans ~ but . few feet
higher than the sea, and, besides, is
in the midst of malarious district.
We are not in possession of data to
say what Is the highest elevation to
which yellow fever has attained in the
United States, but we do possess some
important facts Oh the subject. San
Antonio is $50, New Braunfels $50, and
Austin $50 feet above the level of the
sen. 10 each of those places, within
the last twenty-one years, innumera-
bic cases of yellow fever have been
carried. In each men thus arriving
have been nursed, some dying others
recovering; yet to this day not sol
itary ease has ever originated in either
town.
Now Dallas, as we understand, is 4S2
feet above the sea, Marshall Is 800 feet,
Terrell is 353 feet, Fort Worth is 707
feet. We are, so far, unable to find
ease In the United States where the
yellow fever has originated even as
high as 400 feet above the level of the
sea. We can not assert to the contrary,
and would not dare, in the scale of hui
man life, to stand obstinately on
doubtful points, but we are greatly
persuaded that Dallas, being 1872 feet
above the sea, in the midst of high,
undulating prairie country, open to the
purest brcezes, is naturally fortified
against that much dreaded disease.
From Dallas west the whole country
abounds In plateaus, mounds and
mountains, rs places of refuge for the
people of the coast, where, we assume,
It is impossible for this scourge to
iind an abiding place. Extend the
Texas and Pacific Railroad one hun
bred miles west of Dallas, and the
whole coast people can easily retire by
rail to the most charming localities in
Palo Pinto, shackleford, Stephens,
Jones and Taylor counties, along It's
line, and be M secure Us over the
mountains of Santa Fe.
But these things aside, here we are
at the equinox, September 2lst, and
every town and county, unusually
healthy. Late IA 1t is---cool and bra
cling ~ the weather is--wc have no
fear whAtevcr Of the disease, though
twenty cases were daily imported
