INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common in
the country as scarcely to need comment
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion. low
spirits. night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatiops, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any Of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide

The Kitchen Organ for Conkling

From the Washington Republican,
The people do not look to the New York
Times or to Harper's Journal Of Civilization
for their estimate of public men for sign
by which they are to be guided in the dis
charge of their duties as citizens. The
Times may dislike Senator Conkling, and
Harpers' Weekly may give utterance to its
peculiar ideas, nodded in personal prejudice,
and yet the people will move directly on in
their work Of selecting President for the
next four years, needless of their attempts
to control their action. They will learn in
due time that they can neither shape nor
control the popular judgment. Their ut
terances will serve but single purpose in
the future. They will he treasured up in
tho armament of the enemies of the Repub-
lican cause to be used against him who in
spite of their revilings has been honored by
the people.

The Population Of st. Louis.
fFrom the Chicago InVer.Ocean.l

OIHUcI~OCCua'J
The advance sheets of the new 81. Louis
Directory show the population of that in
teresting suburb to be 49S, 1872 not including
the occupants of the cemetery, who have
on more than one occasion been mistaken
for live citizens by the directory man. Well,
49S, 1872 is not so bad for St. Louis, and Chi
,cago congratulates her little sister on this
evidence of prosperity. Chicago can, with
an effors, remember the time when her own
population was no greater than 49S, 1872,
and she can recall the natural pride she felt
when her directory first exhibited that
number. But that was at least two or
three years ago, and it seems small indeed
when we think of the millions and millions
of people who throng our streets and live
in our marble and brown-stone fronts.

risntips for . Pastor.

from the N. 7. Sun OF yester0ey'J
A quarrel that threatens to destroy the
peace and stability of the Fleet street A. NJ.
&. Church, Brooklyn, eliminated yesterday
II an attempt to forcibly prevent the pas
tor, the Rev. Jeremiah B. Murray, from
performing his pastoral duties. Mr.. MUIR
raw was confirmed as pastor of the church
about two years ago, and conforming as he
SAYS, to the discipline of the society, he as
serted his right to take part, as ex- oftlcio,
officer, in the consultations OF the church
trustees. One of the trustees, Simon King,
disputed the right of the preacher to par
ticipate in their councils, and for his oppo-
sition he was at once expelled. Mr.. King
sued for mandamus to compel his rein
statement in office, but in the Special Term
of the Supreme Court, Judge Pratt decided
against him. Mr. King carried the case to
the General Term, and the decision OF the
Special Term was affirmed.
Mr.. King influenced three other trustees
to side with him, and committee was
called by the pastor to decide the dispute.
The four unruly trustees were discharged
at meeting last Tuesday night. Mr.. Muir
ray, fearing the wiles of the opposing fac
ton, removed from his home and lntrench-
ed himself in the apartment in the base
menu Ol CNc CuuICu, aAA A"o LILO AAS"AS
brought to him,
The discontented trustees and their friends
went to the church at an early hour yester-
day morning, and tried to paddock the
doors. They also tried to lock Mr.. Murray
in his room, but the stalwart clergyman
put his boot through the panels and scat
tered his foes. In the meantime the con-
gregation was gathering at the doors, and
these the trustees met there and pitched
them down the steps as fast as they arrived.
Several sisters were roughly handled. The
trouble became serious, but the friends Of
Mr.. Murray, including the entire female
part OF the congregation, went to the aid
of the pastor, and the trustees were eject
ed.
The battle was renewed in the church
aises, and platoon OF police was called.
The roundsman of the Washington street
police mounted the pulpit, and his voice re-
stored order. The pastor was allowed to
preach, though the dissatisfied members as
SER they will carry the case to the courts
A squad of police guarded the doors and
aises of the church at the afternoon and
evening services.

A terrible shooting affray recently oc-
cured in Bastrop county, Texas, resulting
in the killing of Captain Galley and son by
Aaron Burleson. The day before the kill
ing the Gazlcys had stopped Burleson from
whipping young man named Hill. The
next morning the Gazleys met Burleson in
a crowd, high words ensued, young Galley
fired on Burleson, who then drew his pistol
and shot Galley dead. The father coming
to the assistance of his son was also shot
dead by Burleson, the shot killing him in
stantly The whole thing occurred and the
two Gazleys were killed inside of thirty
seconds. Burleson gave himself up, public
