and Mrs. Wallis who left last week for Memphis as
mart of the company OF physicians and nurses have
returned. Their services were declined on account
If fine fact that they have never had the yellow
fever.
DIR. Pease says that the horrors of the pestllence
ore beyond description. He has passed through four
yellow fever epdemics. one at Bombay, two at New
Orleans and one at Key West, but he has seen
nothing to compare with the death-stricken aspect
of Memphis at the present time. The wealthy nave
almost all departed leaving the poor to shtt as they
may for themselves, and to the horrors OF the
plague are added those of q condition approaching
TO famine The provision stores are all closed, and
the only way to obtain supplies from them Is TO-
break them open, which is sometimes done
All the drug stores except three are
closed, and 1t is difficult to get medicine,
even when medical attendance has been had anu
prescriptions written. The banks are open only one
bour a day. The commissary depots established by
the Howard Association are beseiged by throngs OF
negroes. many of whom como in from the surround
inc country, rsking the pestilence in order to get
free provisions.
No vehicles are seen on the streets except the
dead-carts and the doctors buggies, with an occa-
siona hearse conveying the remains of some wealth
Ter vctlm At night the streets are here and there
Int up with the CLEAN of death fires, which burn in
