The terrible scourge has developed
and brought into bold relief the mobiles
traits of the human character and man,
have been the shining examples of cour
age and self-sacrifce. While this i:
true there are occasional exhibitions OF
cowardice and selfshness which should
make humanity blush. Here are some
of them copied from the Memphis AID.
peal:
Another of the horrifying incidents
winch startle people at home as well as
abroad, and leave one dazed with amaze
Inent tnat human beings can be so coward
~, occurred on one OF the streets OF the
originally infected district. man and his
wife and one child occupying a nice home
saw their little girl taken down with the
fever, whereupon the wife, full of the hero
Ism OF which her sex has made so many dis
plays during this epidemic, advised the
husband to leave, which he did without de
lay, and from house only across the street
saw the bodies of child and faithful wife
carried by strangers for interment in Elm
wood cemetery. DODovan's case hardly
matches that.
A few days ago at Camp Joe Williams, a
woman took sick, who, with her husband.
had been occupying snug looking quarters
when she as being taken to the hospital,
the physician remarked to the husband that
he could follow to nurse her. He Gemurred
and repeatedly objected. when finally all

he pointing to the dog, said: mo; if l goes,
who takes care of my dog?r The brute
should have been kicked out of camp right
then. He is not fit to live.
A man named TOwnsley lost a child by
fever, Immediately after the funeral OF

heard Of Since he thus basely deserted his
wife she died and has been buried, and his
little Florence and his youngest child, boy,
are wards in the inirmary. If he isn't dead,
somebody ought To kill him.
To the honor of womanhood be it
known that such acts of cowardice and
inhumanity, have never found an exam

The Petersburg, Va, Contribution

Hon. VIM. E. Cameron, the Mayor of Pc
tersburg, Va. was A. a. and |. General of
Davis Mississippi Brigade, and Rev DR..
Witherspoon, of same city, was Chaplain of
that Brigade. The contribution of the peo-
pie of Petersburg, of one thousand dollars
for the fever stricken cities in Mississippi,
which was sent to Gov. Stone, it is easy to
suppose was collected through the efforts
of those gentlemen. From the letter of
Mayor Cameron we take the liberty o quot
ing:
eve will never forget the noble Mis- is
sippians who battled here for their fireSides
and could not efface the debt even if their
pecuniary ability were equal to their gen
erous inclination. May God send your cities
a speedy deliverance from this fatal scourge,
and spare them such visitation hereafter.
F.Included in the contribution is the sum
of fifty dollars given by the colOred work
men in one of our tobacco factOrieS-a cheer
lu Offering from very poor people; also,
fifteen dollars from the policemen, who
wish to help their brother officers In Vicks-
burg.

lists of the victims, and | fear with each
reading to see the name of some one whom

The contribution referred to was distrib-
uted as follows: Vicksburg $500 90; Port

NO. Christian Advocated

We are at some loss to account for the
fact that the yellow fever seems to be of
much Il fatal type at every point where
it prevails outside Of New Orleans. With
in about four squares of our residence there
have been not less than sixty cases, and of
these only six have died Is it worse in
Grenada, Memphis and Vicksburg because
of the general alarm, or is the mIlder type
here owing to the proximity to the gulf?
Would it not be well for the people
throughout the Southwest to acquaint
themselves with the nature and treatment
Of the disease, and thus prepare themselves
to meet it in a rational and sensible way ]?
Yellow Fever is always critical-the slight
est neglect or imprudence may bring about
fatal results-and yet the treatment is more
simple than that of almost any other fever.
We heard of a convaleScent patient re-
Gently who ate a small piece of apple, and
died in few hours; of another whose
clothes were changed on the third day, and
in another day he was dead.
Too much medicine is worse than none
at all. The most successful treatment Is to
give scarcely anything beyond single dose
to act on the bowels. Complications some
times arise requiring special remedies; but
as a rule our most successful physicians
give little medicine. They watch the patient
closely, and see that a competent nurse Is
ALWAYS at the bedside 1t is unfortunately
true that thousands cannot have the the re-
ouisite care, and that thousands more from
ignorance, bring on fatal results by their
i'm prudence The yellow fever wilt Occa-
sionaIly invade this country. in spite or all
quarantine regulations; and one of the best
means of conquerng its terrors and of re-
sisting its ravages is for doctors and people
to familiariZe themselves with It's character
and treatment. With prudence on the part OF
the patients and their friends, with judicious
medical attention, and with good nursing,
not one in twenty would die.

some blunder or lack of vigilance. The

An hour or two passed at the office of the
Recorder of Deaths developed several

floor of the St. Louis H tel, corner of Royal
and St Louis streets. While sitting there
one of the charity wagons drove
up, containing two dead bodies in rough,
implanted pine collins, drove mp for a bur

piled upon the top of the other, and sur
mounting the CHASTITY heap sat a faithful
dog and the woman's husband, who accom-
panied her to poJter's field,sto note the spot
where laid. Empty collins had been brought
from the Work House and driven around to
the scene of death, as one might drive
around and gather up so much groceries

the rain, and after about an hour returned
with two other bodies for two other per-
