a CURsE TO THE WORKING

Peter Cooper. the veteran leader Of
the Grssnbaek party. and probably the
most sincere and ardent friend that the
workingmsn Of this nation ever pos
sessed. is disgustsd with Dennis Rsar-
nsy and his vile and vulgar declama-
tons. The old gentleman says that the
drayman Is doing far more TO injurs the
cause. than be Cooper can do to aid
1t. And he is right. The workipgmsn
Of this country are divided into two dis
tinct classss. The intelligent class forms
the majority. except. perhaps. in the
larger and more crowded Of our cities.
This class the ~ran,ings OF Ksarney dis
gust. and they naturally shrink from con-
tact with him. The ignorant aud be-
sottsd class have not brains enough to
be disgusted. but they have brutal in
stinct enough to DO driven wild /; and
the howlings Of the sand-lot plagiarist
incits them TO excuses which would do
stroy any party. The enemies Of labor
might have searched the world over. and
they could not have found q more efi-
cient agent to do the dirty work Of
dividing the workingmen Of the land.

DURING the eclipse the Pueblo In

agitated. The Chisitain Of the village
came forth in great excitement and de-
clared that some one had committed q
great sin and the distraction Of the vii.
lags was imminent, or at least. the e.
tinetion Of the sun. Three trusted mes
sengcrs were sent at once to the priests
to ~eonjurs them to keep the eternal fire
on the altar burning at its brightest.
while all the women Of the village were
ordered to strip themselves naked and
run in pairs round the race-courss where
the foot races take place. Thanks to
these simple precautions tho eclipse soon
passed of. The custom Of having the
women run these races in q nude state
il universal with the Pusblos on occa-
sions OF this kind. They have a tradi-
ton that Montszuma was betrayed into
the hands Of the Spaniards by his
daughter. and il is thought probable
that the requiring Of the females to
humiliats themselves as penace for the
original crime committed by u Of their
sex against this dignitary grows out Of
this tradition.

THE YELLOW rEvER.

The citizens Of Memphis have sent .
dispatch to President Hayes. asking him
to appoint q commission OF the ablsst
physicians Of the country. to inquire
into the cause OF the fright!ul epidemic
which ravages the Southern States Pc
riodically during the heated season. and
devise. II possible. some means for its
prevention. The gentlemen making the
request intimate that Congress will un-
doubtsdly provide for the expenses and
remuneration Of such n commission. II
the President sees DIT to grant their
prayer. 1t Is possible that they are
right, and that u Democratic House
would consent to forego q little econ
omy'' for the sake Of saving the Demo-
cratic votes which the yellow fever ia
now engaged in blotting out. But be
that IS IL may. Mr.. Hayes should at
once order the commission. and no
doubt the physicians appointed to do
this humane work would take their
chances OF getting paid for their time
and labor. The existence OF this scourge
Is . standing shame to the medical fra
tsrnity. There is no effect without =
cause. and that medicine, with oil its
gigantic strides during the last century.
has hitherto failed to grasp the cause OF
SO prevalent an epidemic as the yellow
fever. Is not to the credit Of the pro-
fsssion. A commission such as that
proposed. IL IL does no good. can Ger.
tainly do no harm. but the probability
Is that 1t would solve the vsIed question
Of the origin Of the scourge. and that
once discovered. unless 1t DO inherent to
the atmosphere Of the South. the means
OF prevention will very o be devised.
