"A man may as we'll pretend to
cure himself Of love by viewing his mis-.
tress through the artificial medium OF

inc there the coarseness of her skin,

any passion by the artificial arguments
of Senica or an Epictetus. The re-
membrance Of the natural aspect and
situation of the object, will in both

The world has had six thousand
years to bring in its "more excellent

from the Bible, to heal the sores Of the
broken, wounded, bleeding heart?
What has Rome, in her ages Of martial

sophic culture and refinement, done to
solve the veSed problem of aching hu-
manity. What streams Of comfort has
the rod, welded by their greatest in

What trees have they planted in the
worlds desert ''whose leaf shall not
fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be
consumed, whose fruit shall be for

with anxiety, agitated with remorse.

they feared that business might consequently
be driven away Nevertheless, it has been
driven away, and that is the most triAing
of evil consequences. Whole families have
been carried off by the yellow fever, and their
corpses lie unburried in houses with no one to
attend to them. The poor people especially
suffer terribly, and when taken, generally live
but short time, though rich and poor are
now afflicted alike. The undertakers are not
able to bury them, and the dead bodies are
carried off in wagons, sometimes as many as
nine in one cart. Even the prisoners at the
station-houses are sent out under a guard
of policemen to lay out the dead and put
them in their cofins. worse punishment per-
haps than their sentences provided. The Sis
ters of Charity and members of various be-
nevolent societies who first afforded relief are
now beginning to be afflicted to q considera-
BILE extent, and the contributions from out
side are not commensurate with the peoples
extremity where sixty-fve or seventy deaths
are daily reported, and doubtless more take

country in behalf of humanity, this is one,

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.

The Yellow FeVer.
"A dispatch from Louisville, KY, says
although there have been several yellow fever
deaths in that city, they were every one i'm
ported from Memphis and Shreveport Thou
sands of refugees from those cities have taken
refuge in Louisville, and some of them brought
the seeds of the disease with them.
In Montgomery, Ala, there were two yellow
fever deaths on the 18th, and one on the 18th.
In Shreveport there were six deaths on the
18th.
In Memphis there were fifteen deaths on
the 16thE thirty on the 18th, and thirty'one on
the 18TH
journalistic Courtesy.
- The Rock Hill Lantern publishes the
reply of the Charlotte Observer to our article
on the subject of the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad, Gin the ENQUIRER of the 9th,) with
the graceful addendum that the publication is
made without comment" We certainly
have no complaint to make Of what the Lam
tern sees fit to publish; but the "high regard
for the propreties of polite journalism" thus
displayed is the more manifest when we re-
member that the Lantern failed to publish
our article to which the Observer replies.
This is degree of magnanimity somewhat
unusual in the amenities of editorial life.
The Burning of Columbia.
- From a recent Washington dispatch, it
would appear that the controversy about the
burning of Columbia has received a seeming
formal termination by the British American
Mixed Commission. This controversy grew
out of claims for cotton destroyed in the burn
ing of Columbia, which claims were based up
on the assumption that the city was burned
by the Federal soldiers, acting under the au-
thority of the Federal commanders. The
vast mass of testimony taken on that subject
was before the commission, and after giving
it careful attention, every one of those claims
was disalowed. The total amount claimed
was between s6,OOO,OOO and 100000.
Government Finances.
"A semi official statement of the finances
of the Government concludes with the state
ment that there is no apprehension that Con-
gress will impose additional taxes to supply
supposed or actual additional deficiencies in
the receipts, but rather restrict the approprla-
tions to economical limits and commence no
new works that may not be actually needed.
The Washington Star, however, says, "the
appropriations which Congress will be asked
to make at the coming session, including the
estimates for the next fiscal year and very
large Deficiencies for the present year, there
is reason to believe, will be greatly in excess
of the appropriation for any year since the be.
ginning of President Grants administration"
The Case of Edward F. Stokes.
Several weeks ago, the notorious Ed
ward F. Stokes was committed to the Jail OF
Greenville county for contempt Of Court.
The Greenville Republican gives the following
as the circumstances attending the matter:
"a statute of this State provides that if the
sheriff can not make the money on an execu-
ton in his office, and the plaintiff in the exc
cution believes that the Judgment debtor has
