THE New York Sun states that
the source ofthe prevalent malady
is now quite positively traced to
the ship Souder, the vessel which,
arriving from Havana in July, first
brought to New Orleans cases Of
the disease. Just now we are more
interested down this way in discov-
ering the end than the source Of
the disease. According to oil pre-
.cedents, Memphis will forget all
about the fever in six months, and
the man who talks about sewerage
or sanitary measures will be looked
uponas a theoretical lunatic.

DrSASTER IN THE BRITISH
CHANNEL

The heavy fogs Of November are
always dangerous TO shipping in the
seas surrounding Great Britain, and
we have very serious disaster to-
report this week in the ease of the
steamer P0mmerania, Of the Amer
lean Hamburg line. The disaster
happened on the 18th inst, OFF
Folkestone, very near the Straits OF
Dover, in the midst of very severe
fog. A British bark, the Noel
Filian. came in contact with the
POmmerania, striking her amid
ships and injuring her to such an
extent that she went down in ten
minutes, slowly sinking without
capsizing. The number on board,
including passengers and crew, was
300. of whom IS were reported
drowned in the earliest accounts.
Many have, however, been since
reported as saved in different ways,
and the dealt: list will probably be
considerably reduced when all Is
known. Passengers report that
there was plenty of time to save the
whole number on board if order had
been observed in getting out and
manning the boats, but the crew
became manageable and two OF
the boats were over-CroWded and
swamped. The Captains conduct
was heroic. He refused to leave the
ship while any others remained OF
: board. He was on the ship Wher
+ she sank, and was at first reported
!. to have gone down with her, but
t later report states that he had life
e preserver on and was picked up il
, the morning attached to a piece O
II the wreck, but in such condition
e from cold and exhaustion that it
+ doubtful yet whether he wilirecoVel
k He as been unable to give any az
: count as yet of the disaster.
" Considerable anxiety was at mrs
\ felt in tbs city from the knowledg
n that Mr.. Emile Bloch, nephew
,e our esteemed fellow-citizen, M
5, Leopold Bloch, was on board an

155 list of the saved. Further account

When crocus, hyacnths, narcissus, tulips,
have done Towering, let the seed stalks be
cut down, as the rpening of the seed severe
ly taxes and exhausts the powers of plant.
Some persons are accustomed, after the bulbs
have lowered, to cut of the tops, as if to do
the most mischief, possible. The success of
the next years Towering will depend very
much on the care given to the beds in the
sping. Many bulbs, as the tulip, form en-
tlrely new bulbs; and others, as the hya-
clnth, form the flower bud for the next sea-
SOD. The leaf is the indispensable means OF
doing this; in it are perfected the Juices
which are returned and deposited in the
root. If the bed is left to be choked with
weeds and the bulbs thus robbed of nutri-
ment, or if the soil is left compact or if there
is too much moisture or on the other hand.
too little, the bud or bulb for the next wear
will be weakened. A very deep bed or sandy
soil will sufficiently prevent the effects of too
much water. The surface should be mel
