The yellow fever excitement has
not yet abated; many of our citizens
are preparing to leave Town and 60
to the Pine Hills, on the North side,
whilst others are in search of new
homes, to which they'can emigrate
should the fever break out. But we
must suggest that Alexandria, as far
as death is concerned, is healthier
spot than any of the New England
mountains. For the last 80 days,
with population 1920 souls, not
single death has occurred from fever,
and in that time only three deaths
have occurred from other maladies OF
long standing. In the Town, in that
time, we have had quite number Of
cases Of bilious and intermittent fe
vers, but all have invariably been
cured, through the experienced prac
tice Of our Physicians. So long as
our Quarantine is strictly kept up, as
at present, we have little fear of vel.
low Jack making his advent here.
However, we shall sound the alarm
to our country friends just as soon as
we have reason to believe him in our
midst.

tents:

cent works on the Philosophy and
Ideal of Art in Italy, Greece, and the
Low-Countries, examines his defini-
ton, and Analyses his account of the

due.
2. "Ethics of Evolution" Dis
cusses at great length Herbert Spen-
GERS conception of Evil and of the
origin and nature of conscience, and
points out its inconsistency with 9TH
er portions of that writer's sociofogi-
cal scheme.
8. "Bryan Waller Proctor" A
pleasant sketch of the life of one bet
ter known by his pseudonym-Barry
Cornwall.
4. "The Russian and Turkish
War;"

marks the recent changes of senti-
ment among professed believers in

whether or not am claiming impos,

friends of enterprise to help me COM
plete and put into use, that which
restores to us all we have lost with
the past, taking it into their thoughts
to aid it, and calmly consider it from
the stand point of public prosperity
and individual success.
My plan IS to sell to a joint stock
company, an interest in all such let
tiers patent as shall be issued to me,
covering the combinations named,
and over the territory South at the
10th parallel of North latitude, the
said joint stock company to share
with me in proportion to the interest
taken in the use, mandatory and
sale of machinery. To form said
company, strictly in accord with the
times, having a small amount Of
money to cover large number Of
shares, making it easy to raise and
to carry.
Now, if the opportunity is taken,
our country's prosperity will be as.
sured, and we will show to the world
that we are capable of inaugurating
enterprises for our own salvation
We will also accomplish othertliings
not totally unimportant in the line
of national economy, and our own
Southern pride, by saving the pres
