A Yellow Fever Pen Picture.

The following communication, adj
dressed to the chairman of the New York
Chamber of Commerce by the president
of the Howard Association and the act
ing mayor of Vicksburg, Miss, is vivid
pen picture of the terrors of yellow
fever, IS experienced in that city "Our
entire force, as well as the physicians,
nurses and we'll nurses, are solely occu-
pied in this fearful struggle with death.
Doctors do not pause for necessary
sleep, and continue their endless rounds
even when the dread destroyer is in their
own households, and we therefore fail to
have reports from them of the number Of
cases under treatment They have tried
to report in person, but we have always
to request their immediate departure to.
see other and later cases. Most of us
on duty at our rooms and elsewhere have
fever in our families, but we are trying
to supply the calls for doctors, nurses,
medicines and food, and to do 80 under
such rules and regulations as wall pro-
tect us from impostors and enable us TO
meet the wants of all the needy.
"There is. however, but little danger
of charity going astray or being wronged
when the entire city and its suburbs is
vast hospital, with every chamber occq-
pied and no outlet save to the grave.
The struggle is now so desperate that
we can scarcely realize other wants than
the immediate necessities of the sick
dying and dead, and this takes over 50. +
600 daily of our funds and fully as much
from outside organizations. But as the
fever lessons we then shall have distress
in another form. The children will beg
for bread. Deaths horrors are reduced
for want of subjects. Nature will assist
itself. and the survivors of the wreck
will be helpless mariners afioat without
rudder, sail or motive power.
"The fever may subside by the MID
die of October, but no work or tratfic or
commerce of any kind will come TO un
until the middle of November gives a.
surances of no contagion. We are help
less to set the wheels of our life IN mo-
ton sooner, and must need the good
viii and kindly Offices of those more
happilv situated. Till then, if there
was not another case of fever to occur
we should still be isolated and stricken
for no one would come TO us nor dea
us to come TO them,

The Light Of Autumn Days.

What summer songs are sweet and fair,
Aud who shall sing them blythe and gsR
With cadence lexile-soft as sir
Aud CHEEKY as the summer day.
What poot comes with sandal shoon,
Aud clear brown eye OF dreamy gaze a
Brown as the wave whose forest gloom
Has drank the light OF autumn days
The light OF autumn days
Deep, deep within his quiet heart
He holds the sunshine OF the year,
The music OF the meadow lark
And bells that echo faint and clear
The hare-bell, may be- on the slope,
The bubble that the wave has broke,
Cor the soft, sombre tones that fall
In memory of birthday chime
Faded in that far lapse Of time
That comes and goes for all
And thus within his eyes the haze
Doepens Of autumn days
The sky is blue, the sky is fair,
Aud writ with fleecy clouds in air
And bcughs are waving fresh and FREQ,
As foam-crest on a summer sea
And Lrds with wings whose flashing light
Makes the worn spirit yoarn for fight
Are passing on to some bright zone
We picture in the heart alone;
Add nature chimes in undertono
Its murmurous anthem bright and clear -
Yet he apart
Drinks iu with subtle sense and heart
The rapture Of the year
And with his far-off gaze
Turnsit to autumn days
He garners up the perfect time,
He stores at will OF pain or mirth,
For him nor season comes nor cline
He stands alone Of all the earth:
To him the forest tells its tale,
The brooklet pours its plaintive wall,
The wild pine rocks, the wild winds moan,
To him the torrent speaks alone,
The tempest from its mountain throne,
Toe tumult OF the angry sea.
The m1rmur of the rowing bee,
The pale anemone that blows
In sunshine DER its native SHOWS
The blue-bell or the meadow-pink,
Or osier by the streamlets brink,
All tell their tales in murmurs free
The secrets OF the land or sea
And in his patient eyes,
Awaiting sorrow and surprise
Gather like falling leaves or sunset rays
dreamy wistful gloom
A light too far too soon
The light OF autumn days

A new purse has been invented in
London. When you open it it appears
simply to be an ordinary portmonnaie,
but by touching a spring at the side,
the trigger of a small revolver drops into
your hand; portion of the end of the
purse opens out, discharging the muzzle,
and you suddenly find yourself with
most useful protector.
The consumption of coal in London is
steadily augmenting, both in arithme-
tical and geometrical ratio. Thus, in
1881, the consumption was within 200,-
600 tons; in 1851 it increased to $780,
900 tons; in 1861 to 5,073, 275 tons, and
in 1877 to 5000, 700 tons. For manu-
featuring purposes alone 1,500, 900 tons
are used up annually in that huge city.
A peculiar system of weather warn
ings for the benefit of farmers has been
established at Leipsic, under the direc-
tion of the observatory at that city. Four
different signals are given by means OF
drums hoisted to different heights. One
indicates fine weather, another change
able, a third rain, and fourth that
no trustworthy prediction is possible.
These forecasts are already highly es-
teemed by the agricultural proprietors,
for whose guidance they are intended.

THE aRANr MOVEMENT.

Our Democratic friends North aud
South are seriously alarmed at the pro-
portions taken by the movement looking
toward making General Grant President
in 1850. and the old war against the
third term business and Cssarisin Is
being fought over again. There 10 but
one possible contingency which a
make Grant President again. and that
contingency the Democratic party has 1t
in ito power to prevent. Lot the party
in control Of Congress to-day throw
overheard its policy Of mock econo-
N.Y." LIT the work necessary to be done
ON public buildings and grounds be pros
scuied. and thus put an end to the dis
content which is the natural result
Of starvation ; in short. put down
Ksarneyism. by giving il no material to
work upon. and there will be no move
ment 10 nominate Grant in 1880. II
tho Democrats really fear the IAN
bition Of the man on horseback. they
have Il in their power to squelch the
movement in his favor at the outset.
Republicans believe that there 10 q good
deal Of arrsnt nonsense in the howl
against third terms ; they believe that
occasions may arise in the history Of the
nation which will make it good policy to
retain the services OF a trusted public
servant beyond the regulation eight
years. Such an occasion will certainly
arise two years from now. IL in the mean.
time nothing has been done to restore
prosperity to the country, and secure
property from the assaults Of commun-
lists and asitators. In that event the
people will demand that = man Of power
be placed over them. and that man will
most assuredly be Ulysses y. Grant.
Democrats can prevent his nomination
by foregoing their petty schemes OF re-
vsnge for the reverses OF the war ; .
continuation Of their present policy will
certainly result in his nomination and
election.
