Yellow Fever.

Aggravation of the fever rather than the
almost hopelessly looked for mitigation is,
of course, but the necessary consequence
of the return of warm weather For some
days the scourge seemed to touch the
Southern cities rather more lightly than
before as the weather grew cooler and
finer, and the heavy, sultry, stagnant heat
Of the end of August yielded. But the
change was the result of storm that
passed away and carried with it the slight
improvement made by the difference of
temperature There has, of course, been
no frost yet in that region, and the abso-
Lutte end of this trouble cannot lie
hoped for till that comes. With the heat
that comes upon the heels of slight allevi-
alton the trouble naturally seems to all who
have to face it and endure it even worse
than it was before the cool spell came. Rel
atively, indeed, it is because it has to be
faced with the little remnant of hope and
heart reduced to a lower point than it was.

The Bfliings Case

All readers who have followed in the
papers the story of this startling crime will
watch with the deepest interest the forth
coming testimony by which the counsel for
the defence declare, with an appearance of
great confidence, that they can demonstrate
the inr ocence of the accused. II they can
prove what they have declared in their
opening that they will prove, or if they can
prove the half Of it, the acquittal Of their
client is of course inevitable. No other evil
dence is necessary than that which it is said
will be produced from man who in q boat
on the river saw Billings pass up the road
toward Washburnes house before the shot
was fired 1t is said that this witness in the
boat distinctly recognized Billings in his
wagon. and that as Billings passed him he
rowed on, moored his boat and then heard
the fatal shot. These are circumstances
that it is impossible man should confuse
or place in his mind, unless voluntarily, in
any other order than that in which they oc-
cured and if this order of facts can be
shown by trustworthy witness the alibi is
unassailable and the accused must be &C
quilted. In that event the Billings case
will stand as new example in criminal
history of the fallacios OF circumstantial

City Sewerage.

The picture recently presented in our
columns Of the foul surface condition Of a
large number Of the avenues and streets
finds its companion this morning in the
Inning of the state of things few feet
lower down. Bad as is the condition of the
streets above ground, that below it is,
if possible, infinitely worse. The fetid
pools that poison the upper air
have, it seems, their counterpart in the
regions underneath, which send their vile
odors through the sewer openings all over the
city. 1t will be seen that the region in the
neighborhood of W. est Twenty-third street is
at present suffering severely in this respect.
The inhabitants of that portion Of the city
have for many months been at loss to
account for the deadly odors that i'm
pregnate the atmosphere, and it is at
last believed that their origin must
be looked for in the defective sewer
age at that point. The statement of
former Superintendent of Sewers confirms
this theory. He says that he supervised
some work in that section some years ago,
when, in endeavoring to make the proper
connections, several defects in the sewerage
system were discovered.

If anybody glancing into hospital
should suppose that all the disordered and
disabled mortals there to be seen were the
the last extremity by it's insalubrious posi-
ton and the bad diet supplied to the
boarders, that body might justly form the
hardest possible opinions Of the evil site of
the edifice and it's bad housekeeping. But
there is perhaps no denizen Of civilized
relation of the hospital to the community
in which it is found than to indulge such a
fancy, though popular perception is easily
confused on points somewhat related to this.
Every great city is to the country that sur
rounds it for some hundreds of miles very
nearly, in moral relation, what the hospi-
tai is to the community in strictly physical
relation. If this city could be Como through
by q detective rs clear sighted as the angel
that went through IN ancient very wicked
city in search Of ten just men there would
be discovered wonderful array of rogues
of all degrees, and the Pharisee in the rural
districts On the sweet little innocent country
towns would take advantage of the occasion
to point at the great city MS centre of all
denominations. But it would be we'll for
this Pharisee to 90 slowly until he had at
least ascertained how many of the hardened
wretches found in the city came only day
or two before from his own cosey hamlet
1t is an unfortunate condition of great
cities that they are easy hiding places, and
therefore tempting refugees for oil the rural
population that has forgotten any one of
the Ten Commandments. These hasty and
undesirable visits of our country cousins
arc endured with commendable patience,
and we support an enormous police and
great prisons for their entertainment but,
in addition, it is rather hard for us to hear
their brothers and sisters ut home, who
have not yet started this way, declaring
that all the scalawags are OF our family,
not theirs,

Germany remembers with some tenacity
the promise of Prince Bismarck that the
government would not go to Canossa,
would not go anyhere TO find the Roman
power and bow down to it, for any reason
whatever, much less for the privilege to
act on what views it deemed wise in the
government of Germany. But the country
has had It's misgivings in regard to that
promise since it was made, and has watched
with interest intensified on account of it
the attempt and apparent failure to recon-
cile the views of the government with those
OF the ultramontane party in regard to the
social troubles and the necessity of re-
preston. If Prince Bismarck should make
terms with the Papacy in order to avert
danger more imminent than the
danger from Rome the act would not DO
without flavor of humiliation, though it is
always better certainly to do what is right at
the time than to sacrifice the right to fidelity
TO any Wanting pledges made in other cir
cumstances. But there is an appearance in
the German Parliament just now that lem DIS
likelihood to the view that the Prince, il he
has seemed to go toward Canossa, has in
fact not really stirred foot in that dircc.
ton. 1t may turn out that he has coquetted
with the ultramontanes merely to brighten
the national liberals, and that he will get
from these, if not all that he demands, at
least enough to give the government ample
authority to deal with disturbing elements.
In the appearance of negotiations with the
ultramontanes tho national liberals saw
what was possible, and if they are disposed
to assume an attitude that will render il
unnecessary for the government to seek as
sistance from party with which it cannot
deal without loss of dignity it must be
recognized that they are acting in saga
cious perception of nm important oppor-
tunity to show that they are not disposed to
push iactious opposition 10 unpatriotc
lengths.

prepared within its brick or iron frame 1t
would deserve opprobrious epithets almost
as severe as those which are heaped upon
street cleaning commissioners. AS rule
no one but the man who sells it can say a
good word for it; it usually leaks gas from
its joints, passes carbonic acid gas through
the cells Of its frebox and consumes
every particle of oxygen that touches
its superheated surface. Besides, 1t Ire
quenty sucks into the apartments OF the
residents some foul air, such as accumulates
in every cellar, and nearly always robs It's
victims, through the lungs which breathe
it in, of more life than can be restored by
generous food and good physical care. The
late Senator Sumner had some fine pictures
painted upon wooden panels destroyed by
the dry heat of his furnace. II air can be so
dry as to suck from wood the little moisture
that is in it what hope is there for human
lungs? These demons Of the lower regions
Of the household should receive closer at
tention than they do. Some of them can
be reformed by the use of considerable care
and water, but many of them should be ex-
orcised-that is, destroyed, kicked out.
The price of new furnace or even the cost
of expert counsel on the proper way of
warming house, is not comparable with
the aggregate Of the doctors bills which
every year follow the lighting of fires in the
easements of most residences.

TnE " EATHER.-A very remarkable change
has taken place in the barometric conditions
within the area of the depression that was over
the lake regions on Friday. The pressure was
very low, but when the storm centre reached
the eastern sections of the lake regions
its course was changed from east to
northeast and the barometer rose very rapidly
The pressure is low in all the British provinces
from Manitoba to the st Lawrence Valley. II
Is lowest in the latter district. The high area
continues on the Atlantic coast from Viz
pina TO Florida. In the Gulf, how
ever the pressure is falling gradually.
Rain has fallen i'm the Middle Atlantic
and New England States, the central valley
districts and OH the Gulf coast. Elsewhere fair
weather has prevailed. The winds have been
brisk in the lake regions, the Northwest and
the Gulf coast They have been generally fresh
elsewhere. Temperatures have risen in the
northern lake region and the Northwest, and
fallen In the other districts. 1t is very proba
bic that, although the storm centre has been
dissipated by the continuous inflow of air from
the high area on the coast, it will reorganizc
again as IL moves into the ocean. The weather
in New York and its vicinity to-day will be cool
and partly cloudy. Tomorrow il will be cool and
fair.

Work is still being pushed ahead
on the Mammoth mine, on Summit
Flat, with good results. The shaft is
down thirty-five or forty feet, and
there are Is or 100 tons of ore on the
dump. The ledge is four feetwide, with
several hundred tons of ore in sight.
The proprietors of this mine, Messrs.
Wilson X Whitney, intend moving
their mill nearer TO the mine as
soon as spring opens, and CON-
mence crushing This, and one OF
two other mines III that section, have
yielded handsomely in the past, and

that is needed is a mill or two more

DEBATING SOCIETY.

ELACERVILLE, Jan. b, 1873.
The citizens Of Placerville held the
first regular meeting of their Debating
Society on Saturday evening. About
twenty members were in attendance.
DR.. Rothwell was elected President.
Mr. Campbell Secretary, and ii. Ash
croft Treasurer.
The question for discussion was,
Resolved that country life is prefera-
BILE to city life DR.. Rothwell and
Mr.. Shanks were chosen chief dispu-
tants. IN. b. Placervillians pro-
nounce this word in most vilgalnous
manner, to wit: They invariably put
the accent OH the second syllable, con-
trary to all authority on the mstter. J
DR.. Rothwel chose the affirmative O
the question, and was supported by
Messrs. Garrett, Myers, Lamberton,
Orchard, Ashcroft and others. Mr..
Shanks was supported by Messrs.
Hughes, Dawson, Randolph, P. D.
Rothwell, L. Fuld and others. The
debate was quite animated, and many
good arguments were advanced on
both sides. Each disputant was al
lowed fifteen minutes, and strange to
say, each man had sufficient sense to
sit down before the time was up, aud
precisely at that point in bis discourse
when he had SAID all he had to say.
After the discussion, Mr.. BIackman,
the Judge for the evening, called up
on the audience to decide. Dark and
ominous was the scowl on the rustics
when it was seen that Mr. Shanks
walked off with the victory.
The members then chose for their
next subject, Resolved that Chinese
immigration is detrimental to the in
terests of this country. TIE Presi-
dent appointed Hons. J. Fl. Myers
and J. G. Hughes chief disputants.
We are determined, Mr.. Editor, to
make this success, and let the peo-
pie of the Basin see that we can do
something as creditable as our neigh
bors. A. D. Batter.

TO M. u.

At early dawn, before the golden sun
Has don'd his robes, his course to run:
While stars are hiding from the coming dav.
And the moon, while on her celestial way.
DIPS her silver horn in the placid sea:
Fen thee, my love, my life, dream of thee.
Then the god Of day mounts his.steed on high.
And sheds his brilliant rays along the sky;
Wnen bright PhGbus awakes his tuneful yre
And Al, MONDAY heat proclaims his genial fire,
Which floods the earth with joy aud melody:
en-. my own love, my thoughts will be Of thee.
When the golden orbs hide behind the hill,
And the twilight hours grow solemn and still;
When the evening shadows sink In gloomy night.
And the stars shine out with murky light:
bow own my head, with an humble knee,
And then my soul goes up in prayer for thee.
When in thy daily walk or walking hours
Or pass the day within the shady bowers
Or warbling forth sweet song Of fancy gay
Even while musing on the passing day,
Anu the evening still hours; ask of thee
To offer up one sincere prayer for me.

The Avalanche is authority for the
statement that the Weekly idaho
Statesman sent out Of Ada county is
only l,6I2 pounds, instead of 2,756, as
stated by that wonderfully enterpris-
ing sheet. Considering the size of
the sheet used in printing the States
man, it being heavy, while that of the
other Territorial papers is light, Kcl-
ly ought to give to his advertisers in
palmer terms the circulation of his pa
per. 1t now begins to look like the
Statesman cannot show a larger circu-
lation than each of the other papers,
although it has the advantage of be-
ing published at the capital. The
subscription list Of the Idahoan is gain
ing rapidly, and will in a very short
time be greater than that of the States
man. 1t looks strange that Mr.. Post,
Postmaster at Boise City, would make
errors in giving the weight of the diff
erent journals, and all in Kelly's favor.
IF the publisher of the Statesman has
the least particle of manhood about
him he will either prove his figures or
omit them from the columns of his
paper.
