The Yellow Fever Epidemic.

The Intelligence from the lower Mississippi
during the last week has not been so en-
cuuraglng rs the experience Of former yell

New Orleans especially has been generally
unfavorablc TO health and it has helped to
keep the fever alive and TO intensity its
virulcnce.
The thermometer at New Orleans was at
between eighty and ninety ON Sunday, and
during the week previous 1t had pretty
steadily kept at such high figures, which
always indicate a temperature favorable TO
the propagation Of the malady, provided it
has once got a foothold and Is aided In its
progress by moisture in the air and by such
defective sanitary arrangements a. unfortu-
natcly exist in that city. A declining thor
mon.cter on sunday evening. however, was
an encouraging sign and there is now moth
ing to change the opinion formed ten days
ago that the yellow foyer has already douo its
worst and Is slowly wearing itself out.

people who had run away to escape the

be public convenience; but in the first place
the authority Of the Common Council to charter

grant ought not TO be given away for nothing.
Tho proprictors Of the Twenty-thrd Street

decided thatthe Metropolitan Elevated Railroad
is a public nuisance. and present it accordingly
In their opinion. the complaints Of the Sixth
avenue residents and property holders are well
founded. and their ease one that calls for
prompt and efIcctual redress. They think that
the noise is good deal louder than it need be ;
that there is no excuse for the running Of near
y or quite empty trains after bedtime. and tho
dripping Of oil. the cindcrs. and the foul gases
are wholly unnecessary. Yet the Grand Jury

TWO BOSTON DAMSELS RESCUED
FROM THE LIVING DEATH,

As Mr.. James B. Cotton, special agent OF the
Globe Insurance Company, and his wife were on
their way to this city from Boston on Tuesday
night, on board Of Allyn's Point steamer Fall
mouth, they noticed among the passengers two
young girls in the company of three or four fash
lily dressed women. Mr.. Colton's suspicious were
aroused and he requested his wife to talk with
one Of the girls, and learn If possible their destI-
nation. This was accomplished early yesterday
morning, before the boat reached New York. and
the result fully confirmed his suspicious that
they were lured from their homes for no good
purpose.
Alice Lough, the younger Of the two, told the
following story to the kind hearted woman II
was waitress In Mr.. Bridges hotel, No. 81 Edin-
borough street. Boston, until Monday last. Anice
