The Yellow Fever scourge in
Savannah. st g..f Is.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 16, 1S76.--To
the Mayor of 81. Louis Dear Sir-I
take the liberty Of enclosing the within
extract from our morning paper. We
have population of not over $1,000
left in the city. and daily average of
thirty are sent to their last abode. Over
two thousand are at this hour laneuish-
ing on their beds of sickness and death !;
and Notwithstanding the great benevo-
lence flowing in from our sister cities
and from every town and hamlet in the
State, the restitution is terrible indeed.
viii not the noble citizens of your great
city help us in this, our terrible trial?
Very respectfully, f 3a $50
VIM. H. JOHNSON, M. d.
From the Savannah News. Sept. 49,
Yesterday was probably the saddest
day we have experienced since the COM
mencement of the epidemic. The large
mortuary report published in the NeDs
in the morning had a, depressing effect
and the large number of funerals du-
ring the day seemed to impress upon
every one the fullness of the calamity
which has befallen our city. Neverthe-
less it was almost impossible
to realize. amid the. natural
beauty of our Forest City, its
grassy parks, stately trees and wide
shaded walks, and the clear,
balmy air of early morn, that
fearful pestilence was raging in our
midst. Before dark the streets are de-
serted, and the general gloom is only
relieved by the lights which here and
there CLEAN from the chamber windows
of the sick. At seven O'Clock our thor
oughfares present the appearance of
midnight, nothing but the slow tramp
of the policeman on his beat, or an oc-
casional hurrying footstep, as some one
seeks relief for the sick, disturbs the
solemn stiffness that reigns through
out the city. 4@i-
The mortuary report shows an in
crease of one in yellow fever inter-
ments neutrality-suspicious. the death
record is the same as yesterday-thirty-
three. From the reports on the streets
at noon it was supposed that there
would be a much larger increase, but
this was caused, we understand, by
some interments being reported on yes
terday that did not take place until to-
day, owing to the inability of the I'M
dertakers to attend to the funerals,
though permits had been granted for
the burials. The Benevolent Associa-
ton continue their noble work, and are
doing much for the relief of the sick
and needy. A number of our citizens
have responded to the appeal of Capt.
Wheaton for assistance. Liberal dona-
tions, mostly from our own citizens,
have been made to assist the good work,
and we refer with pride to the list pub
ished to-day of contributions.
We are informed by an officer of the
Benevolent Association that baker re-
fused to sell bread and butcher to sell
meat to the Association, and a small
ice dealer to keep meat Except at an
excessive charge). Such inhumanity
and utter lack of feeling is simply bar
barous. 1t is hard to realize that any
person would, during the present calam-
ity, throw the slightest impeachment in
the way of extending the utmost aid to
the sufferers.

The Way with Missouri Girls.

The papers are again going into
spasms over that Wisconsin girl whose
father and mother are dead, but who
has refused to marry, and cultivates 80
acres of land with her own hands;
blowing, sowing, reaping, breaking
steers, likewise colts, etc., ct al, ad
libitum. 1t is about IS years ago that
they first began to make fuss over
this "girl,' and then she lived in Eau
Clare County, Wis. She's an old girl
by this time. She and her 80 acres
have moved about good deal since
that time, and her deceased progenitors
lie-or else the newspapers lie-in as
many grave-yards as there are CAM
paign lies afioat. The way those old
dead people move about is astonishing,
not to say frightful. They seem to
scatter as they lie. They lie about nearly
every graveyard in the great and noble
State of Wisconsin. As for the girl,
she's no great shakes anyhow. We
know a girl in Missouri that can dis
count her and play left-handed-
with her toes! Our girl was left an
orphan when she was only ~ years
old. She had farm of 240 acres
none of your little S0-acre patches-to
cultivate. Now, did she make a fool
and a plowboy of herself Did she
spoil her complexion and ruin her lily
white hands binding after reaperP
Did she wreck her temper breaking
steers and colts? Did she grow stoop-
shouldered pitching hay and shoveling
manureP Not any. And she didn't go
stumping around in the dirty spring
mud and s]ush of the barn-yard, polk
ing her rosy finger into the mouth of ye
fool calf to teach him the bottle trick
out of bucket. She just put on her
fanciest rig and her most bewitching
manner, and she went man-fishing in
her own sweet way. She caught one.
He was no bull-head, nor sucker either,
but manly, sensible fellow, who does
the farm work out of doors, while she
attends to household affairs and the
children. That's the way with Mis-
souri, gi1ls.-St. Joseph Gazette.

have endeavored to wrest from them.
The messenger says the hostile camp is
composed Of Ogallala, Brule, Sans-Arc
and Minneconjou bands of Sioux, with

The trial of the Mormon Elder John
d. Lee, for being participant in the
celebrated Mountain Meadow m assacre
in 1857, resulted in verdict of guilty
Of murder in the first degree. The evil
dence adduced at the trial was entirely
exculpatory of Brigham Young, who it
was shswn had endeavored to save the
lives of the emigrants.
IT is stated in q Washington dispatch
of the 21st that Governor Chamberlain
and Senator Patterson, of South Caro-
lima, had had an interview with Attor-
ney- General Taft on that day, in which
they urged the necessity Of the Govern
ment furnishing additional troops for
that State, sufficient to suppress any
outbreak that might occur. The Attor-
ney-General gave assurance that every
thing possible will be done for the pres
ervation of the public peace.

Mr.. BARMG, Secretary of the En-
glish Legation at Constantinople, in his
report on the atrocities committed by
the Turks in Bulgaria, estimates that
IL, coo Bulgarians and 3 900 Mussulmans
were killed and 50 villages burned.
Probably the most horrible tragedy of
the whole insurrection occurred at
Batak, where the inhabitants were in
duced to give up their arms upon the
promise of Achmet Agha, the Turkish
commander, that their lives should be
spared. In their then helpless
condition the Bashi-Bazouks set
upon the inhabitants and slaughtered
them like sheep. About 1900 took
refuge in church and successfully
barred the entrance, when the soldiery
climbed to the roof, and, tearing off
the tiles, threw burning pieces of wood
and rags, saturated with petroleum,
among the thickly packed mass
of human beings below. At Last door
was forced open and the massacre COM
pleted. The only survivor of this
slaughter to be found was an old wom-
an. Five thousand in all were killed at
Batak, and about 80 girls were carried
of.
