The Four Great WInds.

Perhaps the influence Of the four greal
winds on character is only a fancied one
but it ia evident on temperament, which
is not altogether a matter of temperature
although the good old deacon used to say
in his humble tanner that This third
wife was a very good woman, but her tenn
persture was very different from that Of
the other two"
The north wind is full of courage and
puts the stamina Of endurance into man,
and it probably would into woman too, il
there we're a series Of resolutions passed
20 that effect,
The west wind is hopeful, It has
promise 10 il, aud iS, except to Atlantic
voysgers Americs-bound, the best wind
that ever blew.
The east wind is peevishness; it is
mental rheumatism aud grumbling, and
curls one up in the chimney corner like
a cat.
The south wind is fill of longing and
unrest, OF suggestions of luxurious Ease
| am not sure but the south is the most
powerful Of winds, because of its sweet
persussiveness. Nothing so stirs the
blood in spring; it makes men "longen to
goe on pilgrimages."

also, the Due DsCazes, Minister OF For
eigu Affairs. WALTON, Minister Of Public
Instruction, and Caillaux, Minister Of
Agriculture, are underlined.
Madrid, February 23.-The Carlists
are concentrated at Alsasno and Sepma-

LONDON. February 23.-The steamship

TBS BOARD OF HRALrH.

The proposition to take away the power
Of the Board Of Health is n fraughI
with ~incalculable evil to Memphis. It'll
g sh~ort,sighted policy, little less thar
folly. 1t simply invites disease, death
and financial ruin. The Board Of Health
should exercise q sound discretion and
put the public to az little Inconvenience
Is consistent with efficiency and the gen
eral welfare. If. however, exceptions
are to be made Of every man who sees
proper to block up his sidewalk with
goods, they might as well quit at once.
It is a poor rule that will not apply toall
classes alike--rich and poor, black and
white. The people will submit more
readily to a Measure Of discipline when
they know that it is not made for any
particular class. But take away the
power Of the Board Of Health
and q sense of distrust and fear
will spread over the city, and we will
6ud ourselves, in sanitary respects,
where we stood just after the yellow fever
pissed away, about two years ago. The
Board Of Health was organized in the
midst Of q terrible epidemic when the
people we're fleeing from the city by
thousands. Its necessity was then felt
and urged by the Chamber Of Com
merce and a portion of the press. But
now that the day is over the people
thougbtlessly urge that it be abolished
because, forsooth, one man has to take
down . cumbrous sign, another to re-
move pet ash barrel, another 8 lot Of
goods on the sidewalk, and so on. II we
fail to enforce sound sanitary measures
and protect ourselves, how can we expect
strangers to settle among US or even
keep half the people we have? There are
q few rich men. and poor mi too,
for that matter, who can pick up and
leave when an epidemic breaks out and
afford to laugh at it, but the most Of
rs have to stay here all the year round
and take the chances. Abolish the
Board Of Health or fetter it and there
are hundreds Of men Of moderate means
with families to raise and educate who
will look out for a more desirable place
to locate. Prevention is better than
cure under any circumstances, aRd
especially in this matter, involving
so much life, property and peace Of
mind. 1t will be worth millions Of
dollars to Memphis if an efficient Board
Of Health has charge Of the city q year
or two. Our safety, prosperity and
sense of security depend upon a rigid
enforcement of sanitary measures, and
every one should be willing to submit to
some temporary inconvenience for the
general good. A law which can be bent
to suit each particular case is no law at
all. We hope the General Council will
consider the vast responsibility it would
assume before taking any step backward.

disposal Of Alabama stat. Debt.

MONTGOMERY, February 2S.-A bill
has passed both Houses of the Legisla.
ture rstifying the settlement of the State
debt made By the commissioners. All
direct State bonds, except those in aid
OF railroads, are to be taken up and new
ones issued. They are to bear interest
from July next at two per cent. for Eve
years, four per cent. for ten years, and
five per cent. for ten years. All past
due interest coupons are to be given up
aud cancelled. The bondholders Of the
Alabama and Chattanooga railroad are
to surrender the bonds Issued BY the
State in aid Of the road and those in
dorsed BY the State, and take the road
aud franchises and land, and receive in
addition one million Of bonds to bear
interest as the other new bonds. The
remaining railroad bond matters are yet
unadjusted. The settlement will
bring the entire Indebtedness Of the
State inside Of ten millions at a low rate
Of interest.

An INTERIOR VIEW.

That the Democratic party 10 aud out
Of Congress is not united upon the cur
rency question is admitted on all hands
Ar. Lamar, as Chairman Of the Demo
cratic caucus, recently gave great Of
Tense to the Wall street element in the
appointment of a committee. A corre-
~spondence ensued between him and a
New York member named Meade, which
ia subjoiued for the information it gives:
WASHINGTON. February Is. 1876.
Ny Dear Mr.. Lamar,
1t is With much surprise that | learn
the personnel OF the committee on the
subject Of the finances which has been
appointed BY you in pursuance Of the
action Of u last caucus meeting II |
am rightly informed such committee
comprises three members from the State
OF Ohio, aud none from the State of
New York. The disproportion Of mem
berS given to Ohio on go small a commit
tee might alone appear remarkable; but
When II IS taken 10 connection with the
fact that the greatest commercial State
III the Usion, having also the largest
representation in the Hsuse, is entirely
Ignored it forces the conviction of the
existence Of a policy which is not pub.
hcly announced, and which | am re-
lpctent to believe you would secretly
msintsip. For my own part, as a hum
BILE representative Of the State Of New
York, my great desire 10 to sec a fnan.
.cial policy adopted broad enough for
the people Of ell the States of our Union
TO tremendously occupy. But the early
discrimination above referred to ia 90
apparent, 10 my mind at least, that /
must respectfully enter my protest
sgainst il.
With great personal regard, | an sin.
cerely yours, E. R. MEADE.

Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar:
SIR; Your favor Of yesterday lie at
hand, and while l am entirely willing to
acquit you Of any intention to ignore
my State, you will readily perceive that
the people Of that State, as represented
BY the public press there, is not ready to
do so. A State comprising one-ninth OF
the population OF the entire country, and
an even greater proportion Of the mate
rial wealth Of that country, is, in my
judgment. unwilling to have delegated
TO other States its voice in a committee
OF thirteen on so important u question
as that concerning the currency OF the
country. Besides, Mr.. Hewitt informs
ne that you offered him q place on that
committee, and that be only declined in
favor of Mr.. Ely because be was already
upon your Campaign Committee, and
that it was understood according to his
mind that Mr., Ely was to 90 upoR the
