A Whitcd Scpulcbre.

Tho pretty town OF Stamford, Conn, is
now within an hour and n half Of Wall
street, and therefore practically suburb
Of New York Trains run there from Forty
second street without stopping, and num-
Der Of business men have u special car APP
propriatcd to them, which is furnished with
all the accommodation Of comfortable
club. Add 10 this that Stamford is delight
fully planted with shade trees, abounds in
snug villas. and is in the midst Of country
which has an endless variety Of charming
walks and drives. and il might seem to most
people very desirable place OF abode for
business men in New York; and with one
drawback, such it Is.
Stamford IL n city OF ccsspools. II has
churches, chapcls. charitable societies. n
Masonic Hall, and. above all, "A tremendous
temperance party. who are death on drink
and drinkers. Yet these excellent people are
all the while trying hard how to make their
own home unhealthy. The whole soil, over
an extensive area. is saturated with sewage.
On plot Of half an acre there are often
times a dozen cosspools There l., in fact
no drainage whatever, although there Is
every facility for it.
The Stamford people have been freely con-
tributinE TO help the yellow fever patients
in the South, and are contributing not less
freely TO create typhoid fever at home Al
ready the absence Of drainage keeps many
people away from the town, and the first
serious outbreak will create a panic. and
send property down fifty per cent. People
with inconvcnlently large families, includ-
ing undesirable relatives whom they would
like to get rid Of, cannot find more eligible
residence. more especially If careful to have
their friends drink ienty Of the diluted
seWnse called WMtor.

be able to keep II away wholly, hut II bchooveS
them to exhaust every measure to do this, for
n port Of entry which receives the seeds Of n
plague TO transmit them over great region
of country, Is not desirable possession, no
matter how prosperous it may be in the
years when IL is lucky enough to escape the
danger it invites.
But, rs things now look, we may hope to
see from this time forth the steady subsd-
cncc of the epidemic In the Mississippi Val
10y. Already n heavy frost has relieved st.
Louis Of any fears Of tho Judgment Of the
enemy there. There is more hopeful feel
ing among the physicians OF Memphis, per-
haps the most afflicted Of all the cities at
tackled. Tho disease is assuming mildcr
form, ono of tho customary indications Of
its decline, and clearer weather has replaced
that of the close days with which the
month began. The city, however, Is still
crushed under the weight Of the plague, and
the only active business Is that Of the doc
tors and nurses tending the sick, and the
undcrtakcrs burying the dead. Before
reaching Memphis even five miles out"
says Or. RAMSEY. n Washington physician
lately returned from there, 60 the air was
laden with the yellow fever poison, and As
we approached the city the stencil was abso-
lutely sickcnng.' Nothing more is needed
to tell the story Of the curse which has
fallen on Memphis.
We shall have to read sad accounts Of the
work of the plague for weeks to come, but
they are now likely to grow less and less
mournful. In New Orleans, of the Sill
deaths from yellow fever In 1853 all but 25
took place in the three months of July, Au-
gust. and September; OF 4s39 in 1885, all but
SIS were recorded in August, September, and
October; and Of the 1872 In 1867 all but 81
occurred in the same months. In each year.
too the decline was rapid after the middle
of the second month, and the epidemic was
Substantially over in ninety days During
the prcscnt epidemic, of the about 400
deaths reported to this date 80 took place in
Jul! $50 in August. and the remainder dur
ing this month. II IL to lie hoped that before
the total Of 1867 is reached the disease will
have ceased to prevail.
But though the skies are somewhat
brighter for the wrctchcd cities infested,
the outlook is still gloomy enough. and the
charity the happier North can extend them
must bee offered with Il free hand. for the de-
cline and even the cessation Of the plague
will not LIT the weight Of suffering from the
impoverished aud exhausted victims Of n
pcstilonce which for three months has
clogged or entirely stopped the activities Of
a score of cities and towns.

We SUPP osc That to any criticism on the
stcalthy taking possession of the hall at
Worcester 10y the BUTLER delegates they
might reply that if they had not taken pos
session thus and then, they could not have
got possession at all. Whether that is n
sufficient answer will be- determined 10y diff
fercnt persons very much according to their
notions OF the relative importance of smart
ness and propriety.
We pass from the Discussion Of the strict
propriety Of such proceeding to the great
facts which are presented for consideration
by the events Of yesterday at Worcester.
One Of these II Of surprising significance.
II il that out Of l.iiO delegates to n Demo-
cratic State Convention 81 were in favor of
tie nomination Of Gen. BUTLER for Gov
ernor to j25 opposed to it,
1t may be said that though Gen. BUTLER
has long been separated from the Demo-
cratic party. on the vital question Of the
Electoral Commission he was more sound
than his leading opponent. Judge ABBOTT
BCrLER denounced the Commission a. UNI
constitutional, whereas ABBOTT approved
Of it.
Still, the wonderful movement Of Worccs-
ter is by no means verdict on the relative
soundncss Of different mems Democracy.
II is reverberation of the Maine earth
quake 1t Is the voice Of general dIscon-
tent. 1t is protest against the corruption
and extravaganza and fraud which have
made taxes heavy and wages light.

No sane man contemplatcs anything lut
