The Product Of an Invisible Poi.
son-How 1t Arises, and How
It Spreads.
Surgeon General Woodwortb, OF
the United States Marine Hospital
Service, has issued circular regard
ing yellow fever. 1t is addressed to
the medical officers Of the service,
and says that although the quarantine
law was not passed in time for Con
press to make an appropriation, still
everything is being done which is
possible without the expenditure OF
money. Medical officers are required
to assist the civil health officers when
requested to do so. The Surgeon
General says:
.The weight of scientific evidence
seems to warrant the conclusion that
yellow fever is produced by an in
visible poison, capable of self-multi-
plication outside of the human or
gsnism, which it enters through the
air passages. The poison germ or
miasma is Q product of the tropics.
In this country yellow fever has pre-
vailed in most of the Gulf and At
lantic cities, and in many OF the
towns along the Mississippi river.
In some instances it has been carried
inland with the people fleeing from
infected localities, but it has never
shown a disposition to spread cpl
demicslly at points remote from the
continuous water roads Of commerce,
or to lodge in high, saiubrious places.
The cities Of the great lakes have al
ways been free from the disease.
Yellow fever cannot be said to be
epidemic in the United States, from
the fact that 10 some years 1t does
not appear, though the imported
germ undoubtedly survives the mild
winters. 1t appears to have about as
much resistance of cold as the ba-
mana plant; when the banana stalk
is killed down by frost, the yellow
fever does not recover until again
imported. The germ is transmissi-
BILE. 1t is capable of being trans
ported in the clothing and personal
effects of passengers and sailors, but
its spread from one city to another
is chiefly accomplished by vessels,
their damp, filthy holds and bilge
water being its favorite lurking
places. Confinement, moisture and
high temperature favor the multipli-
cation or virulence Of the poison.
When a wharf or spot of ground or
a house becomes infected, the poison
at once commences to spread, creep
ing slowly in all possible directions,
continually charging the area around
the center Of infection, unless check
ed by disinfection, as has undoubt-
eddy been done by the use OF car
bolic acid in New Orleans in former
outbreaks. Yellow fever is not COM
municated from the sick to the well,
the sick and well being dangerous
only as possible carriers Of the poi
son germs or miasm. In support Of
this assertion it may be stated that at
quarantine hospitals, where the ef-
fects Of yellow fever patients are
burned or otherwise thoroughly dis
infected before the admission Of the
patients, the attendants do not con-
tract the disease. This has been
demonstrated many times. All we'll
persons whose effects have been dis
infected may be considered harmless
after six or seven days have elapsed
from the time Of leaving an infected
district or vessel, as the period of
incubation IF the disease lasts from
two to six days"

The publisher Of q weekly paper in Illinois
prints in each issue chapter of the Bible,
and upon being ridiculed for il by his con-
temporaries, remarks editorially: awe pub
lish nothing but what is new TO our readers"
Fifty or sixty years ago it was not an
uncommon thing for newspapers to 6ll out
their columns with chapter from the
Bible or some other standard work. Ex-
tracts from Shakespeare were thought to
give literary air to paper, and as there
was no telegraph in those days, no ocean
steamers, and very limited mail facilities,
il was very often a work of necessity to
resort to these extracts from books. In
deed, such things have been done IN more
modern times. As late as 1856, two
limbs Of the law, one Of whom is now
sedate member of the Maryland Judiciary,
became editors and proprietors of news
paper. Close attention to law and litera-
ture is not always compatible, so the
''deyi" of the Office made frequent ap-
peaIs for "copy," which we're not always
promptly responded to. To avoid the
drudgery of close reading and selection,
one of the partners ordered the publica-
ton, from Burns, of 'Tam O'Shanter."
Surprised and half piqued at this, the
other partner, the ensuing week, ordered
the second chapter to be headed "Written
for the the c. D, by Robert
Burns" This ended abruptly the publ
cation of the narrative of Tam.

The New York letter Of the Philadel-

However unsatisfactory aoevar trade may
be in other prospects, there can be no ques-
ton as to the briskness of our export com
merce, in proof Of which it need only be
stated that the Custom House returns of the
outward mAnifests from this port for the week
ending to-day, show the enormous aggregate
of Ss,147, 765. This is the heaviest business
for any one week for many years. Upwards
of 81, 500, 900 Of this merchandise was shipped
to Liverpool alone, consisting chiefly of bread
stuffs, provisions and dairy products The
cotton was valued ut $500, 029; wheat, $S4e,
$50; corn, S38, 800; cheese, SSH, 1862; beef,
ss1, 7Ae; canned goods, $5s,9l2. The Cas-
tellani collection IS also included in the valu-
alton of $1,000. The shipments to Havre,
Hamburg, Bremea aud Amsterdam are also
unusually large. With our exports eontinu-
ing at anything like this volume, it will be
uphill work to get up bull movement in gold,
for the present at least, whatever may be The
operation Of the Silver bill in the future.
