YELLOW FEVER NOTES.
viii S. Brooks, of the Memphis
appeal, has lost wife, mother and son
by the scourge.
The fever is very bad at Hopefield,
Ark, which explodes the idea that it
would not go west of the Mississippi
River.
The New Orleans Picay,sne believes
that doctors may differ as to the nature
4 Of disease, and yet agree as to the
price of visit.
Nest of our richest men have not
done their aims before men; we trust
they have done them before God
Jackson (Tenn.) San.
Nobody has had the yellow fever in
Cairo except the attaches of the Bulletin
of that city, 1t is suggested that the
pestilence was probably brought to that
office by the unfumigated New Orleans,
Memphis, and Yicksburg newspapers.
The first copy of the Grenada Sen
ttnet issued since the appearance of the
/ plague, Is mournful little death4sheet,
with column rules reversed, and con-
tains the names of 240 citizens planted
under the sod in that once happy and
prosperous village.
The record of DR.. Coleman (some
days ago. is that 8 1 unacclimated physi-
clans have arrived in Memphis since the
plague began. OF these, Is have died,
IL are now sick or convalescent, and
only two out of the whole number have
escaped thus far
"A correspondent of the New Or
leans PtcGyune says four or five negroes
have died on the Mccarthy plantation,
near Port Gibson, and as no one would
bury the bodies the torch was applied to
the cabins in which they died, and the
bodies burned--the first instance of ere
nation in the State.
We understand that DIR. Maury has
it at ellis Station. DR.. X. B. Maury
for many years has been one of the most
prominent physicians in Memphis.
Within our recollection there has not
been an epidemic in this city that DR..
Maury has not skipped out at the very
beginning Memphis AUalanche.
More than half the number of Sis
tiers engaged in the duty of succoring
the sick have died. The same proper
ton is true of their sisters out of orders
who have fallen by the bedside of those
around whom their affections were en-
twined.-Memphts appeal.
Callahan, widower who had a
good character here, left his children in
Memphis at the beginning of the cpl
demic, went to Louisville, married again
and sent back Ia John Donovan, "to
take care of his children" The chill
dren are all dead or dying, but Callahan
took good care his carcass did not APP
pear.-MeDphis AUdlGnche.
There is good deal of grim, grave
humor INDUCED in by the Memphis edi
tors in the midst of all their gloom.
The editor of the AUaldnche delights TO
call himself the sold man and a tough
citizen" and whenever he receives a
new remedy for the fever, one of the
preventiyes that does not prevent, |
speaks of it as "another county heard |
from"
"A boy came into the New Orleans
PicGy5Gr9e office to insert q death notice |
last night. He said to the gentleman
having charge of the advertising depart
ment: ''AnOther one gone; that makes
eight" ''What do you mean?n asked |
the gentleman. The boy answered: 81
mean that this is the eighth one of my
family that has died-five brothers and |
three sisters. | wonder who will come |
net?'' "How many are left?" Only
me,h he replied as he went out.
Your reporter heard of the outrage
Ously inhuman conduct of man named |
John Grashot to-day. He had sickness
in his family, asked the Towards for a
nurse, which was promptly furnished in |
the person of Mrs. Mary Brown, a most /
excellent lady and good nurse. After
nursing his family faithfully, she was
stricken down with the fever herself. |
No care was given the poor lady by |
Grashot, and she died last night during |
the storm. He had her remains inter
red in his own yard, near the public
highway. The people in the vicinity |
are very indignant, and justly so, as
they requested Grashot to have her re-
moved to the hospital, where she could |
have proper attention, which he refused |
to do. The English language does not
furnish words strong enough to express
an opinion of this fellow, ungrateful |
monster as he is. An order has been |
issued for his arrest.-lMenlphgS Cor. |

In this city, before the epidemic,
there were three young men of the high |
est standing in society who were ever
together, either in public affairs or in
social relations. The one never came |
in possession of events but what the
other two shared. At noon they greet |
ed each other more affectionately than
ever brothers did, and at night it was a
" Wish you well, dear boy" In bust
ness it was how to assist one another
through in his particular sphere, and in
pleasure enjoyments all three were ever
near. In the epidemic all remained at
their post, fulfilling their arduous du-
ties-one as local editor, the second as
Associated Press agent, and the third in
public oflices-and assisting the dis
tressed by every means possible, until
stricken down by fever. They all died,
and to-day they lie side by side in the
beautiful Elmwood, brothers in deathas
they were in life. Their names are
