Mr.. Bryant's Habits Of Life.

MIR. Bryant has told the story OF his daily
habits himself. Nothing could be simpler.

Greece, contented himself at dinner with

New Orleans, August 9.-New cases
to-day al; deaths IL. The feve,
continues to spread and is now well
distributed through the first and Sc
cond districts with occasional cases,
10 other quarters of the city. The
board of health continue the use OF
carbolic acid as disenfectant, but
will try lime in few days, Mr.. j. c.
Clark general manager Of the Jack
son road, having presented ten cal
loads of fresh burnt lime. Arrange
ments are also being perfected for
irrigating the city by flushing the
cutters with river water. The hopes
of the health officers of checking the
disease by carbolization seem to
weaken. This city is generally con-
coded to he in a tilthier condition than
for fifteen years-in fact, since Gene.
raj Butler had it cleaned. The fever
prevailing here is If a mild type, and
the board of health as decided to con.
tinue quarantine against visitors from
infected ports on the ground thai

duced. The Bee, complaining of the
withdrawal from publication by the
board of health of yellow fever bull

Our Opinion.

There seems dispositi"n t" h'a'""
some one for the defeat Of Major
Moncure at the Baton Rouge C"nvrn.

in the f'icny"ne of Saturday last,
talks of "sllutfcs, cuts, DEALS Hn'|
such nonsense in seeming g're.
Major Moncure failed of nomilia
ton from combination of unforeseen
circumstances over which he had no
control. The first, and in the end
fatal, blow he received, was from the
candidacy :f Col. Richardson, OF
Ouachita, as the anti constitutional
Convention man. The second set
back was the yellow fever in New Or
leans, which caused him to loose the
moral support of the presence in per-
son of at least a bundled able dele.
gates, and last, but not least, Major
Moncure suffered from the want
of a sagacious leader on the floor
of the Convention.
1t is all settled now, however, aud
to the satisfaction at least of every
one, but as opinions were being freely
given all around, we hes to record

MantOn Marbles Letter.

This gentleman has written a letter
in which he makes public for the first
time Mr.. Tildens' efforts to secure the
presidency and his opposition to the
electoral commission
We have been satisfied all along
that great injustice has been done Mr..
TildeD. His silence has been taken
advantage Of by those very men who
spurned his advice and adopted a plan
instead which led to the disgraceful
defeat of last winter.
This letter will be attentively read
and will do much to silence the yelps
of a great number of small men
against Mr.. Tilden.

ridiculing what the Physicians adj
wise.
The little town of Grenada, in Mis-
sissippi, has the yellow fever, and it
is spreading with great rapidity. AS
Grenada is the place where the Mem
phis quarantine officers put off New
Orleans passengers, it is evident that
the disease was impaired by contact
with some of these. As long as plain
men see before their eyes the naked
fact that people who come in contact
with others who have the fever, will
take it; that it spreads in this man.,
ner; aud that of il given number who
take it may die, they will not be apt
listen to long-winded discussions as
to the origin of the fever, but will
take the precaution which naturally
suggests itself. No town which is in
danger of receiving passengers from
infected districts should neglect a
strict quarantine. We hope our own
vigilant Board of Health will mt
relax its efforts in protecting Shrevc-
port against this dreadful disease.
When all the danger is over, when
we shall have had our eyes gladdened
by the sight of black frost, we can
then organize a debating society for
those who are more interested in dis
covering the cause of the disease than
in keeping it away from Us, to dis.
cuss it to their hearts content

Grenada is town in the healthy
salubrious hill of Mississippi, and this
fever was brought there by contact
