The remedy proposed by Blaine
for the defeat Of the Republicans in
Maine, is to fight the war over again.
This would imply that the Southern
states must secede. If they should
refuse to do 30, to oblige Blaine, he
must, solitary and alone, wave the
"bloody shirt" over the heads OF q
people who are with one heart and
one mind working to relieve the sick
and the INDECENT in that portion Of
the South where yellow fever is an
epidemic.
so long as the living issues grow
ing out the financial condition of the
country interest the people, it will
he very difficult to resurrect the de.
cayed corpse of the confederacy and
to galvanize it into life. The Repub.
lican party, being as it boasts the
war party, has accomplished its mis-
sion. The corruption growing out
of unlimited power has made its re-
cord since the war so damning that
the people from Maine to California
have repudiated it. If the Green.
hackers and Democrats will cooper.
ate in all financial measures upon
which both can agree, waving all
discussion Of extreme and impracti.
cable ideas until victory is secured,
the doom of the Republican party
is sealed. They should stand firm

the future an adjustment of Difficult

YELLOW FEVER.
Some illusions with regard |

Some illusions with regard to yellow
fever will be destroyed by the visitation
fOf this year. One Of these was the notion
much cherished by doctors well acquaint-
led with IL that 1t had natural limit to a
course of sixty days; that in that period
it would run out and lose its virulence
without regard to the occurrence of frost.
Most unfortunately for the sadly afflicted
people of many Southern cities the facts
this year rudely dispel that theory, for the
disease began in June, and now in Septem-
Der shows even no sign of abatement.-
Must this epidemic also be taken to dis
lpel the hope that some day we may get
rid of IL altogether? We are not sure
of that, for bad as the malady has been
this year 1t is light visitation by COM
parison with what has been experienced
formerly not only on the Lower Misss-
sippi but also much further north.
Grenai ias history was surpassed by
that of Woodville, in the same State, aud
New Orleans has not lost nearly so many
this year as have died from the same dis
ease in single summer in Philadelphia.
i u the last century il was constant visi-
tor IN this city, and Norfolk, Charleston
and Savannah have in their time known
almost as much about 1t as New Orleans.
1t is true that these places cannot be re-
garded rs its home % the sense in which
point on the Gulf shore may be so re-
garded, but they have shown that sewer
age, pavement and rigid sanitary sys-
tenn NAV reducs its possibility far evil to
very low point.
Yellow fever appears, however, to de-
pend for its existence and propagation
upon certain climatic conditions found
generally at particular places, but excop-
tionally prevalent even there in some
ears more than in Others. Ii is, indeed,
r ruher local pestilence than a fever
though the exclusive use of the word
fever" a. Synonymous with one or Two
of the symptoms common to all states of
profound constitutional distur bauce, has
tastt ned that name TO II fact which
has perhaps stood in the way of the in
vestigdtion Of its real nature as a ppsti-
lence of local and mbined meteoro-
logic and telluric origin.

the Gulf of Mexico, in Mexico itself, and

tance from the mouth, are so well recog-
nized as In the number of It's natural seats
that is mere appearance at these places

A Fish Story for our Fishermen

- hH" psOHy hOH OuE ASbcFhMen.
The Norwich, Conn, Bulletin, tells a
story OF remarkable struggle with a
giant bass, caught in a seine at Mantle.
One escaped by breaking the mesh, $.
second they go, upon the beach. They
bad hardly dropped the cords before he
broke from tue meshes , and, splingIng
high in the air plunged down the shore
towards the sea, ten or twelve feet away
The ,nen dashed exctedly after him, and
vainly sought tn stop him with desperate
kicks from their heavy fishing boots, and
blows from such implements as they could
pick up on the beach.
No one dared to grasp the monster as
bass of large size, armed with its sharp
fins and razor-like teeth and rillS. is one
of the tiercest and most dangerous of sea
fish The shore water was already reach
ed, and the bass was splashing fllrously
IN the desperate trdeavor to gain water
that would float him. An instant more
and the prize would be lost At this
moment Mr.. Winship fearlessly threw
himself upon the struggling monster,
clasping his arms around its neck. with
one foot under its body, and shouted for
help.
The struggles of the fish and its cantor
had carried them into deep water, but
the stout arms of the other fishermen
were quick to the rescue, and in an in.
slant both man and bass were rolled
deity up the shore, and the bass was Sc.
cared. The whole party at the end OF
the struggle, were breathess with ex.

wound. The monster weighed 46l
