THE SITUATION AT MOBILE.
The following appeared in the Mobile
Register, Oct 18th: eve think it is due
to our people to give the facts at our
command in regard to the sickness now
prevalent among us. In default of &C
to prevail, and exaggerated statements
will be put forth. We have been en-
abled to gather the following facts by in
spectiOn Of the books at the health-of-
flee, which are open to the
public. During the last twenty
four hours there have been ff-
teen cases of yellow fever reported.
most Of these are confined in the same
locality as heretofore, though there are
several in the extreme southern portion
Of the city. This makes seventy three
cases Of fever in all that have been re-
ported since the first case There have
been twenty-three deaths in all since
the beginning Of the sickness. AL
though it's plainly evident that the fever
is not spreading it is also evidet that it
is not spreading to that extent that
some alarmlsts have reported
NO ABATEMENT.
AT Memphis Oct. 10th the weather
was still warm and sultry. Jeff Jr,
only son of jeff. Davis, died near Mem
phis of the fever. Dispatches received
at New Orleans from all sections of the
south reported no abatement of the
disease anywhere.
MEMPHIS HEAT.
Memphis advices under date of the
10th INST, report the weather growing
warmer, and reports Of further spread
ing of the fever in the suburbs are re-
ceived. From six o'clock last night I'M
til noon to-day undertakers report
% interments. Among those who
have died since last evening are John
Lenburg, Ambrose G. Dalton, James
Martin, and Brother Wendelin, Of the
Franciscan order of priests. Rev. Geo.
G. Harris, dean Of st. Mary's cathedral
has returned, and is on active duty
among his parishioners.

In the Alps recently Mr.. and Mrs
Wainwright and Christian Grass, their
guide, fell down a precipice. Hans
Grass, the other guide, was a man of 81
gantic strength, and the rope by which
the four were corded together was stout,
and throwing himself backward by
sheer force Of muscle he held them
suspended and cried to his brother to
cut steps in the ice and mount. and be
quick about 1t for he could not sustain
them for more than half an hour. Mr..
Wainwright had not dropped his hatch
ct, which he handed to the guide, who
soon reached the edge Of the crevasse;
his brother, still sustaining the Vain
wrights, gave HIM hand and drew him
up, then they hauled up their tourists,
and all returned little the worse for
their frightful adventure.

A STRIKING commentary on the pre-
sent mining stock craze is found in the
fact that during the past year mining
stock dividends have fallen off to such
an extent that the amount payable this
September was only $57S,OO0 against
= $50, 500 in September, 1877. A year
ago thirteen mining companies were
paying dividends, including the Cali
fornia and Consolidated Virginia, which

BURYING THE STILLS.
Washington dispatches under date of
the 10th inst, say that acting COM
missioner of Internal Revenue Rogers
this afternoon received the following
telegram from Revenue Agent J. w.
kenney, dated Little Rock: "Informa-
ton from Baxter county is received
that distillers have sunk their stills at
Bayou, abandoned their fortified works
and scattered, the alarm having been
taken flom published dispatches from
Washington"
HAYES POLICY.
The Star this afternoon says it can be
authoritat1vely stated that there is no
truth whatever in statements variously
made that the president has decided, or
IS about to decide to change what is
known as his southern policy. The
president cOntemplates no such change
The principal reason for the stateme nt
is supposed to be a letter written by At
torney-General Devens, which will
shortly be sent to the district attorneys
of Alabama, louisiana and South Caro-
lima, directing them to enforce the q.
S. election laws. This letter was writ
ten after such facts had been laid before
the president as clearly proved that I'M
der existing circumstances no fair cleo
ton could be held in these states There
was ample proof that such was
| the case before the president
and his cabinet, and upon
these the letters to the district attorney
were based. The president regards the
endorsements Of law as having no polit-
ical aspect whatever. It is only the ma
| t1Onal government performing the duty
required of it. If a similar condition Of
affairs should arise in New York or any
other state in the union as exists in
South Carolina, Louisiana and Ala
bama, the states attorneys Of those
states would be directed to see that the
| election laws are complied with.

Cured of Drinking.

GA young friend OF mine was cured
of an Unsuitable thirst for liquor, that
had so Frustrated his system that he
was unable to do any business. He was
entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters.
1t allayed all that burning thirst; took
away the appetite for liquor; made his
nerves steady, and he has remained a
sober and steady man for more than
two years, and has no desire to return
to his cups, and l know of a number of
others that have been cured of drinking
by it."-From leading r. r. Official,

The two great gas corporations Of
London, representing millions of pounds
sterling, are IN great fear that young
Edison is fumbling after their umbilical
cord. The market quotations of their
stock show an anticipation that his
electric lights will dim their Intellectual
fire. Shares fell twenty-five per cent.
last week, and will probably continue
to descend unless the directors can
contrive some way to extinguish the in
novating genius. 60

IT is told of Daniel Webster that he
was fishing one day when meditating
his Bunker Hill speech. AS he pulled
up a tautog of phenomenal weight and
corresponding age he imagined it to be
an old soldier of the revolution, and
holding it up before him dangling on
the hook he apostrophized it thus:
Venerable man! Thou hast come
down to us from d former generation.
We welcome thee to the light and glory
of this suspicious day"

AN English gentleman recently sent
the Queen e1OO, with a promise of e1O
annually in perpetuity in addition there
to, as the nucleus of fund the interest
of which would be set aside for the re-
lief of sufferers by such horrors as the
sinking of the Princess Alice or the ex-
plosion Of the Abercarne Colliery. The
Queen returned him the money, point
ing out that ceaseless difficulties would
arise in the administration of such a
fund, even if it were sufficiently in
creased by donations and legacics.

PITBHERINE" is a new stimulant,
for the discovery of which mankind is
indebted to the Austrian aborigines.
1t is smoked and chewed, Or applied in
a plaster behind the ears. According
to the quantity used it produces either
pleasant exhilaration or intense and
continuous excitement; like the coca
leaves of the South American Indian,
it invigorates and keeps up the strength
through periods of protracted exertion,
and in battle it supplies, when requisite,
the Dutch courage infused by brandy.

WASHINGTON.
THE CHAMPIONSHIPS REPORT.

Says Washington special of the
18th inst: Quartermaster General Meigs
has completed his annual report to the
secretary of war. 1t contains large
amounts of statistical information, and
makes several recommendations of i'm
portance. The total acquisitions from
his office during the fiscal year
ending June SO last, amounted
to $1,792,603. The department moved
during the year 70 $50 passengers, H.
400 beasts, and 100, 316 tons Of military
material. The Indian disturbances and
labor riots made the presence Of con-
siderable bodies of troops necessary in
May, in different places, and the small
ness of the army necess1tated extern
sive and expensive movements in order
to place sufficient force at the threat
ened points. Marches of 800
to 1000 miles were common,
and several of 1900, to 5000, and one
Of 1890 miles were made. The largest
movements were made by the Pacific
railroads, and the appropriation for
transportation was not large enough to
liquidate their acts. General Meigs,
therefore, recommends that congress
should make deficiency appropriation
Of 1925, 900 to settle the accounts for the

GOLD BULLION.
A Washington special of Oct 10th
says arrangements have lately been per
fected by the treasury to purchase gold
bullion deposited at the Assay Office at
Charlotte, n. c., and the Mint at Den
yer, Col, at its coming value, less the
usual Mint charges for parting and re-
filming, and the expense of transporta-
ton to the Mint at Philadelphia for
conversion into coin. Payment for the
bullion purchased at these places
will be made in legal-tender notes
Or silver dollars, as the depositor
may prefer. Heretofore the bullion
deposited at these places has been re-
turned to the depositor in imported
bars, stamped with their weight and
fineness, which We're sold to local bull
lion dealers. This arrangement will
protect the miner, and enable him to
obtain a better price for his gold The
department is also Arranging to pur-
chase gold deposits at the assay offices
at Helena, Mont, and Boise City,
Idaho. &
