Making Trade Dollars Legal Tender.

Making Trade Dollars Legal Tender.
New YoRK, Dec. 9.
Apprehension has been expressed
that the passage of law making trade
dollars legal tender would recall some
thirty millions from China. and in this
way greatly increase the volume of cur.
rency. This is stated By merchants to
be mistake. as it is the practice of
Chinese bankers on. receiving any
foreign coin and ascertaining its value,
to put their mark or "chop" on it. A
coin So dsfaced would not. under our
coinage laws. be receivable as bullion.
A cable dispatch from Hongkong says
that there are only seven millions of
"nnchopped" trade dollars there. and
the opinion is expressed that,of twenty.
eight to thirty millions of trade dollars
exported to China in the last Eve years,
all but one or two millions have been
chopped" and therefore, under any
change in the laws, they cannot enter
into cur currency.

Quiet girls are generally over

virtues; granted they are excellent
tacticians, and shrewd 10 a fault,
particularly where their own inter
ests are concerned. The quiet girl,
in her quiet way, generally man

thing. She has more privileges
than her noisy sisters, too. She
can flirt, on occasion, in way no
frivolous girl dares to attempt, but
she never writes a compromising
letter, and has o most convenient
want of memory. She retires grace
fully in favor Of the other girls, as
if willing to let them shine, and
gets her reward in the appreciation
Of the old people of the party.
Quiet men find her agreeable, and
wonder why she is said to be silent,
but this is chiefly because she does
not bore them by insisting on an
swers to her questions. They i'm,
agine her to be sympathetic, and
begin by telling her of other loves,
and often end by loving her them
selves. When she develops into a
wife, for she always marries at least
once, she gets her way in everything.
Her husband probably chose her
because he thought she would turn
out differently, and finds when too
late that he could not possibly have
made o more complete mistake
Children are always fond Of her
sons respect, if they do not greatly
love, quiet mothers, for they have
never heard them talk nonsense.
Servants never give them short
answers, as their words are kind
and decisive, and the poor people

who arc at present residents Of the
city, We hope it will not be passed
by and forgotten, but acted upon
as soon as the thirty thousand
refugees return to their homes. If
they had all remained here not
half or one third Of them would
have been alive and but few of
them buried to-day. And yet
much of this horrible state Of affairs
is owing to our own apathy and
indifference. Memphis, naturally,
is one of the healthiest places in
the Mississippi valley, but has been
made one of the filthiest, aud we
have suffered accordingly. We
have disregarded the laws Of ma
ture and common sense, and have
paid the penalty. If something is
not done to improve the sanitary
condition of the city, the young
men, the working men, and those
who have families to raise and ed
ucate, might as well get away from
here, for there is no telling how
soon another epidemic may come
This one caught us entirely off ou

A JOURNALISTIC HERO.

Mr.. Tilden, correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, is the only regu-
lar journalist who came into our
midst from abroad and faced the
great plague. lie came when it
was nearly at its hight, and is here
yet. None of the other great jour
mails OF the West and the North had
a man to spare or to come. The
New York Herald could send Stan
ley to the heart Of Africa, but
could not send a man into the heart
OF this fever-infected district. Mr..
Tilden left his wife and friends to
take a greater risk than even Stanley
did when crossing the continent Of
| Africa, without the chances Of win
ming fame or great reward of any
kind. After doing splendid service
for the journal he represents, and
witnessing the greatest horrors Of
the epidemic, he was stricken down
with the fever. Fortunately he fell
| into good hands. Mr.. Brooks, OF
the Appeal, took him TO his house
and called in the best physicians
and nurses that the Howards could
| furnish. His case was a severe one,
but not as critical as some that have
survived. With good treatment
and nursing, he safely passed The
, trying ordeal. He appeared on tht
streets two days ago shadow of hi
former self, but still out Of danger
unless he commits some impru
dence. We congratulate the younl
man on his recovery, and hope tina
he may be spared to return to hi
family and post of duty, and for
, career of great usefulness and pros

A rRRRIBLE LESSON.

The board of health has reported |
up to last evening 3074 deaths and |
7153 cases Of yellow fever, This,
however, is only for the city proper.
There have been several hundred |
deaths in the suburbs and country
adjacent to Memphis. The exact
number will never be known. Peo-
pie who live in the country, but
who do business here and are
clas8ed as Memphians, have died,
and many refugees from the city
have died far and near; some at
tie camps, some at suburban resi-
dences, Others at farm-houses miles
back in the country, and still Others
at distant towns and cities. The
LEDGER's reports are taken mainly
from the orders on the undertakerS
books, but even these do not
show all who have died in this
plague center. Many quiet fu-
nerals have taken place outside the
city limitsof which neither the un-
dertakers or the board Of health
received any notice. Our reports,
however, show nearly three hundred
more than the official figures, and
it cannot be much Of an oyeresti-
matS to say that by the end of the
plague-and 1t is not all over yet
Memphis will have lost four thou
sand people by the epidemic. These
arc terrible, terrible figures to con-
template, and hard to realize, even
by those who have been here all the
time. The propcrty-ownelS OF the
city are greatly responsible for its
miserable sanitary condition, which
added SO much to the malignity OF
the disease and caused a great part
of the mortality. The resolution
on this subject, passed by the How
ard Medical Society, composed o
the best talent and constituting tn,
highest authority on this subject il
the country, should be needed, j
Memphis hopes to be anything il
the future. Those who own anything
here had better make up theil
minds to spend ono.half to saw

enough before; now it could hardl,
