At a recent health convention, held in
Richmond, the following propositions were
voted on separately and adopted:
First-The yellow-fever of 1873 was a
specific disease, not indigenous to or origin
ating spontaneously in the United States,
and its appearance in this country durin g
that year was due to specific causes.
Seoond-A quarantine, established with
such rigor and precision as to produce abso-
lutte non intercourse, will prevent the i'm
portation of the specific causes Of yellow
fever.
Third-It is the duty of the general gov
eminent to aid in the establishment of a
practical and proper quarantine by all the
means in its power.
Fourth-It is the duty Of the general gov
eminent to appoint commission of experts
to make thorough investigation into the
causes Of yelloY fever and the best method
to prevent its introduction into this country.
and to make sucn all appropriation as will
permit of securing the services Of the best
men and best means for carrying out such
inyesti0ation ---
Fifth-That it Is the duty of the general gov
eminent to invite foreign nations to cooper
ate With it in the establishment of uniform
and effective International quarantine regu-
lations.
Si1th-That whatever may be the perma-
nent value OF the quarantine, there is no
doubt of the Importance and value OF inter
nal sanitary measures in the prevention or
modification of epidemic yellow-fever, and
this association strongly urges upon State
and municipal authorities the great RESPONSE.

AS matter OF justice % SIR. Mcux we pub
E-h his speech delivered before the meeting
a- the Greculaw OpsUhouse on Thursday
last. Too much praise cannot be awarded
such men as j. =. Meux and W. II. Rhea,
whose extraordinary CKertions contributed to
tine ALIENATION Of our suffering people. Mr..
MeuE D. enthusiastic in his praise Of the
people Of California. Having been instru-
mental in raising the large amount Of money
sent from the Pacific coast, Mr.. Meux Is very
5l-t.y anxious that the noble men who aided
us should be satisfied that Memphis has been
saudered in regard to the disposition that
has been made Of the money so
generously contributed. The feel
iug OF gratitude which Mr.. Meux ex-
presses in lis speech, and in his
private conversations, finds an echo in every
southern heart. All agree with him IN the
expression that it twill be sweet to remember
IN after years, when the dreadful recollec-
tons OF this epidemic shall be told to genera
lions yet unborn, the generosity Of the Peo-
pie Of California. IL should be our proudest
c1uuciousness ten, twenty years hence, to
feel that the sentiment Of gratitude is as
fresh and loving as when VIC cried out in our
sorrow and California, through the efficiency
Of j. p. Meux, sent back the thunders Of her
magnificent response.

The st. Louis Republican gives the follow
ing explanation of the government specie
resumption, appointed by law to take place
January /, 1879: at seems that the bank
ers, who surely ought to know better, will
never learn that resumption means only the
payment of coin by the government 10 the
holders of its notes, and that the banks don t
need coin after resumption any more than
they do now before resumption. If the legal
tender act were repealed or declared uncon-
stit1 t;onal by the supreme court, the case
would be dlherent; but So long as that stands
as the imperative law of the land, no bank
and no individual can be required to pay coin
any more than now. So long as greenbacks
remain in circulation there is no possible rea :
son why coin should be used. and there is no
reason to expect that it viii be used to any
great extsnt, for the paper currency will be
Infinitely more preferable in all ordinary
transactions. IF the leQal-tender character
OF the treasury notes ceased on the first of
January, there would be some excuse for the
banks wanting to have q hoard of coin on
hand and betraylng anxiety about the part
they will play In resumption. As it is, re-
sumption means absolutely nothing but that
anybody wLo has fifty dollars or more In
greenbacks can 60 to the s1b-tFsgaury in
New York, and noVltere else, and get gold
or silver dollars, according as the government
prefers, for paper money. That is all there
is IN resumption, and it is very different from
what the general impression Is it will be. 1t
should be said, however, that some reports
from Washington indicate ti.at Mr. Sherman
intends to make some regulations which will
extend the sphere of RESUMPTION. 1t is said
he will authorize ali the assistant,treasurers
to redeem legal. tenders in coin drafts On New
York. That he has power to make such
regulation, or that the government can afford
TO supslapt the express companies and make
transfers OF funds 70 New York, is not very

Letter to the San Francisco Bulletin: cap
preaching a Nevada mountain a low bushy
yzcwth is seen, strangely black in aspect, as
though it had been burned. This is nut
pine forest, the bountlfpl orchard of the red
man. No slope is too steep, none 100 dry,
every situation seems TO be gratefully chosen,
If only it be sufficiently rocky and firm to
afford secure anchorage for the tough, grasp-
ing roots, It is sturdy, thick set little tree,
usually about fifteen feet high when full
grown, and about IS broad as high, holding
its knotty branches well ont IN every Glrec-
ton in stiff zigzaEs, but turning them grace
fully upward at the ends IN rounded bosses.
1t is pretty generally known that this tree
yields edible nuts, but their Importance and
excellence as human food is infinitely greater
than is Supposed. IN fruitful seasons the pine
nut crop OF Nevada is, perhaps. greater than the
wheat crop of California, concerning which
so much is said and felt throughout the food
markets of the world. The Indians alone
appreciate this portion of natures bounty,
and celebrate the harvest time with dancing
and feastng. lnasmact as the cones require
two years tomature from the lirsi appearance
of the little red rosettes of the fertile flowers,
the scarcity or abundance Of the crop may be
predicted more than a yeaf IN advance.
Squirrels and worms and Clark crows make
haste to begin the harvest. The Indians
make ready their long beating poles; baskets,
bags, rags, mats are gotten together. Inc
squaws, out aucGG the settlers at service,
washing and drudgIng, ASSEMBLE at the faml-
~ nut; the men leave their rancho york, all,
old and young, are mounted on ponies, and
set off in great glee to the nut lands, forming
eavalcades euriously picturesque; flaming
scarfs and calico skirts stream loosely oyer
the knotted ponies, usually two squaws
astr1de of each, With the small baby
midgets bandsged i'll baskets siung on
their backs Or balanced upon the saddle bow,
while the nut baskets and water-jars project
from either side, and the long beating poles,
like oldfashiored lances, angle out In every
direction. Arrived al soL1e central point al
ready fixed upon, where water ana GRASP are
found, the squaws with baskets, the men with
poles, ascend the ridges to the laden trees,
followed by the children; beating begins with
a loud noise and chatter; the burrs fly right
and left, lodging against stones aud sage
bushes; the squaws and children gather tnena
with fine natural gladness; smoke columns
speedily mark the joyful scene of their labors
as the roasting. fires are kindled, and at night,
assembled in circles, garrulous as jays, tbs
first grand nut-feast begins. Sufficient guam
titles are thus obtained in a few weeks to last
AL winter. They also gather several species
of berries and dry them to vary their stores,
aud q few deer and gro0se Gre killed IN the
mountains, besides imm ense nunbers OF rah-
bits and bares; hut the pine-nuts are the1r
main dependence-their staff of life, their
bread -

London Times: "A curious trial now pro-

who alleges that she IS the daughter OF King

brought an action against King Oscar and

endowment granted to the plaintiff in 1861 by
the government, but which has been sup
pressed since 1870. The counsel for the
plaintiff, Biomquist, at the first sitting hand

court TO order that King Oscar and the fiscal
Office should, under pain of an execution, paw

opposed the demand, on the ground that. In
the Judgment OF the chief stakeholder, Miss

scnted herself to be, but was really Miss

We never mention the name OF this gen.
teman without feeling akin to that which
prompted the historic character to raise his
hat every time he passed the statue of his
hero. II is an old story to speak IN praise of
y. d. Laugstaf, but he has given additional
cause tor increasing the high admiration
which Is cherished for him. During the late
epidcnic he ministered to the wants of the
suffering, was tho vitahzing agent Of the
city, keeping ITS necessities and sufierings
constantly before the sympathizing nation,
and always speaking words of cheer and con-
ISOLATION to the sick and dying. He was ever
active in his important official positions,
dispensing aid to the needy and af-
a ctcd calling for relief from abroad,
and doing all that noble man could do un
der such trying circumstances. Thank God,
he was spared, we trust, TO reap the reward
OF his unselfsh and heroic efforts in behalf Of
humanity. And after laboring for three
months to save the lives Of our people, Mr..

character from calumny. Read his letter in
