One of the devices of the enemy to
injure the Greenback- National party
is to send congressional committee
to New York to have lot of foreign
madcaps from the purliens of Paris
present the widest and most extreme
theories of GOV, rnment. These are
published broadcast over the country
and used as a threat to keep voters
in the old party lines. But it won t
do. The National party is response
BILE only for the principles avowed in
its platform.

SPREAD OF THE FEVER.

Yellow fever is spreading rapidly into
the country, notwithstanding the efforts
of the various local authorities to prevent
its introduction. There is scarcely o
town on the river or either of the lines of
railroad running out of here which has
not been visited with more or less severity.
A few cases appeared at Louisville on
Thursday, which created sort of panic,
but as there is really nothing very serious
about its appearance there, the people
have been assured by the action of the
Board of Health.
Mobile, also, has late visitation, which
we hope and believe will not extend itself
At the latest accounts, the local physicians
reported favorable symptoms.
At Chattanooga, Tennessee, one of the
last places where one would expect to see
yellow fever, a few cases have appeared.
Several of the Mississippi towns-Can-
ton, Holly Springs, Vicksburg and Gre
NADIA, have been fearfully afflicted. Also,
Memphis, where there have been nearly
as many deaths, with about one-fourth of
the population, as in this city.
Here it is slowly but surely declining.
1t is likely that another week will put an
end to the general anxiety, and show
figures of mortality not exceeding twenty
per day.
Baton Rouge has been attacked, and up
70 Friday night there had been 94S cases
and 46 deaths.
Hopes are entertained that the first ap-
pearance of frost, now anxiously looked
for, will check the advance of the disease.

wish to bring them to the momory of

them. We respectfully ask therefore to

Woman. rnuts and smell.

The marked superiority of women over
men is on few points more remarkable
than in their superior powers of smelling
and tasting. A woman will detect the
faintest odor of tobacco, when q man,
even though a non-smoker, often fails to
discover any symptom Of it. As with
smell, so with taste. Women are marvel
ously aoute and fastidious in the matter
Of sauces and all tiAvoring Ingredients,
This faculty has been recognized in q
most pleasing manner by the composition
Of the jury who are to decide in Paris on
the merits Of the mustards Of varioua
nations. The mustard congress is 10 con-
aist OF twelve gentlemen and an equal
number of ladies. This arrangemenk il
is stated, is owing to q suggestion that
the paIates Of the men are Vitiated BY
smoking, whereas women, who do not, %
a rule, indulge in that peTnicious habit
are likely to be better qualified to form &
correct opinion on the merits Of condi-
ments. s.-PdH Mall Gdzette. gl lf... 9r

Nichols.
This is the first instance that has come
to our knowledge, in which sheriff has
been deprived of his Office in this State.
