The YELLOW FEVER CASE AT
New YoRK.-.To show how diff
cult it is sometimes to trace the
origin of Yellow Fever at locality
we re-pabish the following from
the n. Y. Sun:
The sailor seemed to be afflicted with
ordinary bilious fever, but sixteen hours
af er be entered, his flesh turned
yellow, end the black vomit which
followed betrayed an attack of
the most malignant form of
yellow fever. Capt. Spencer, who was
sent for, said that he arrived in New
York a month ago with cargo OF sugar
from Matsnzas, and that his vessel was
overhauled at quarantine. He had a
clean bill of health. Bolton was dis
charged with the crew early in Septem-
ber, and had in some way contracted
the disease s,nce that time-either in
visiting some sailors boarding house or
some ship. This information puzzled
the health authorities, and they are at
loss to know how the disease origi-
mated. Yesterday afternoon Boalton
died. The auth critics traced Boalton
to theatre which he attended on Sat-
urday night. and there lost track of
him. 1t is not known where he was
be fore that time.

An old gentleman from the coun-

like one afflicted with the asthma,
from the exertion it cost him TO
climb the stairway. As he reached
the doorway he inquired:
"Is Lawyer Wilson IMP"
A sentimental young man, who sat
on his back in an arm chair, while
his feet rested on a table, without
deigning to raise his eyes from the
pages of a dime novel which he was
perusing, answered interrogatiVely:
"Do you see him ?"
"Not particular" !" replied the coun-
tryman, "but l thought you might
have him hid around here somewhere

was called to the door for a conf
Dental whisper, and as he rose from
his seat he spread the book on the
table so as to preserve his place.
The old gentleman from the country
settled himself in the vacant chair,
threw his feet on the table, and lean
ing back comfortably, if not graceful
ly, took the abandoned novel, adjust
ed his spectacles, and by the time
the young man returned, he was so
intently absorbed in the story that
he was utterly oblivious of his pres
ence. --''~ :. --a'2 '3i 'aa " sE23

corner of the table and commenc-
