OF the 10th inst: says that the register
and receiver at Jackson, Miss, tele-
graphs the commissioner of general
land Office, that there is great excite
ment in Jackson. People are fleeing in
all directions; the board of health adj
wise all to leave. There are 100 cases
in Vicksburg and 20 in Canton. The
fever IS liable to appear at any moment
and then escape from the city will be
impossible. Quarantine will be estab-
lished against Jackson by surrounding
the country; what shall we do then?
The following answer was sent:
"You may close the Office and leave the
city when it becomes necessary by the
actual visitation Of the city by fever"

A Memphis dispatch Of Aug. Goth
says the following has been received by
the Howard Association of Memphis:
GRENADA, Aug. 19.-As your repre-
senta.ives were sent here for the pur-
pose, we have looked carefully into the
situation of everything connected with
yellow fever in Grenada. The epidem-
ic, considering the size of the town,
appears to be the most malignant
and fatal that has ever been
known in the country. and this after
only nine DAYS. The fever is un-
abated and unchecked. The great want
is for nurses and money to pay them.
for there have been persons here sick
for long period without a single at
tendant. At present, contributions
amount to not more than halt what
seems to be necessary The funds are
certainly managed by the relief COM
mitee with vigorous economy
and wise judgment and the men who
handle them are known to the business
men of the south and west, as certain
guarantee for their faithful application
to the purposes for which they are intend
ed. We hope the liberal and
generous contributions made up
to this time will not
cease. The appeal to the charitable
has no equal in the sad history of this
disease. VIM. ]. Smith, and Butler P.
Anderson, of the Howard association of
Memphis, endorse the appeal of their
associate members now on duty at
Grenada. Messrs. Smith and Anderson
have labored among the sick there for
nine days past, and are fully posted as
to the exact condition, and are gentle
men in every way worthy of public con-
tidence.

Mr.. Mees, representative Of
Holland, thought that the United
States would only be supported
by nations laboring under forced paper
currency. !
Leon Say, French Minister of Fl
nance, said the monetary question
would remain too obscure for France to
take sides SO long as Germany had a
considerable stock Of silver which she
could throw upon the market of France.
He, however, approved Of the initiative
having been taken by the United States
The following are the propositions
submitted to the monetary conference
by the United States delegates:
First. 1t is the opinion Of this assem-
bly, that it is not desirable that silver be
excluded from free coinage i'll Europe
and the United States, or, on the con-
trary, this assembly believes it to be
desirable that an unrestricted coinage
of silver and its use as money of UNI
limited legal tender, should be retaine d
where it now is as far as possible, and
restored where it has ceased to exist.
Second. The use of both gold and
silver as an unlimited legal tender
money may be safely adopted; first, by
equalizing them at relations fixed by
internal agreement; and second, by
granting to each metal at the relation
fixed, equal terms of coinage, and max
Ing no discrimination between them.

The new Governor Of Canada, the
Marquis of Lorne, will not assume the
duties of his position until November.
The English conservative press warns
the marquis that he is about to succeed
one of the most popular and successful
governors ever sent out to the colonies,
and says the mere fact that new
viceroy is related to the royal family
will not make him acceptable to the
Canadian people. There seems to be a
general impression, however, that Lord
Lorne has Il good deal Of the stern stuff
in him.

DURING the past fortnight Pennsyl-
vania has shipped 100000 worth of
goods, mostly in the hardware line, to
Russia. These shipments are made
under the direction of Il. NJ. Il. Barry, a
Russian gentleman, who is vigorously
at work to build up n trade between the
two countries. He recently said; "The
trade Of England with Russia amounts
to 1SS, 100000 rubles. do not despair
of reducing this -one-half in favor of
America within five years. We want
to fight England-if we cannot do it by
warfare, we can by striking at her where
she is most sensitive and vulnerable
in her trade. l find your manufacture
ers here willing to lend their aid and to
sell for the smallest profit, looking to
the future. 1t keeps the mills going;
it brings our money here instead Of to
England. In Pittsburgh and Oil City,
and especially here in Philadelphia,
where | have had transactions, | find
everybody willing to cooperate in this
way, and have found assurances that
distance will be no barrier to success
full trade. There is now, more than
ever before, splendid field for Amer
lean goods in Russia. 1t is not to be
supposed that we will put one cent
more than we can help into British
pockets, while we do want to build up
our trade and more closely cement our
friendship with America. But one thing
must never be forgotten. The goods
must be OF the best quality; the price
must be such as to compete with the
British. There is no sentiment in bus
mess. venture to say that if an effort
is made here 10y your merchants to push
trade with us on these terms, they
will find most gratifying response

Mime. Rachel the Face EuamelEcr
AS1ain in Trouble.

Mr.. J.. j. Jennings, London correspondent
OF the New York World says:
You Will doubtless notice the curious affair
Rachel IS involved. The history i:S' Of ' this
woman a affords the most striking proof that
creduity of our fellOW-creatures Her real
name is Rachel LeveIson. and she has for
years carried on the profession Of enamel
lef that IS. she processes to enamel ladies'
faces and render them as fresh and lovely at
sixty as they were at eighteen. A few years
ago this beautifer of her sex was convicted of
frauduently obtaining money, and sentenced
to seven years penal Servitllde She served
five years, and was then released.
she at once began her old trade again. and
wife OF stock broker. This lady is the daugi-
ter of the late Nine. Grisi, the celebrated
singer; Why on earth she ever went to Nine.
Rachel it would be hard to say for she is one
of the prettiest women l ever saw, and is only
twentyf four years of age. Bat she went to buy
a wash The old impostor managed to get
eXtorted money. Mrs. Pierce took bath in
RachelS house, which was to render her as
lovely as hOuri.
Rachel herself is one of the ugliest Old har
ridans you would find in days march She
has, however, two very handsome daughters,
whom She used to show off as examples OF the
dazzling effects produced by her process of
enameling. OF late, the daughters having left
heroine OF them is in Paris enameling on her
own acc0unt-Rachel has appropriated to her
self any beautiful woman who happens TO be
tlentS that the said beauty is solely indebted
to her for her charms.
To Mrs. Pierce she mentioned the name of a
countess-nOhe other than the Countess bud
ley. need not tell you that Lady Dudley has
never even seen the impOSter, but of course
the use of her name has given her 40 little an
noyance. Lord Dudley is furious about it,
and with reason, for his wifes name has been
made the means OF obtaining money by fraud
ulent pretences from numbers of women.
once more, however. the hardened old sinner
Rachel is in the hands of the law, and this
time it will fare i'll with her.
She is quite undeserving of any sympathy.
for | believe that enameling was only part Of
her trade. and the least Objectionable part
One of her daughters is vocalist, now on the
stage, and in that way probably the mother
c0ntrived to make acquaintance with Mrs
Pierce. The compound sold by Rachel as her
t World renowned wash has been anayzed and
1t was composed of lead compound, 10 grains :;
