from Superintendent Terrell. at Atlanta,

districts the people are under the impress
sion that the spread OF the yellow-feyer has
been due to the mails, and they look upon
postal clerks and route agents as enemies
OF mankind. In some instances the agents
have been taken from trains by quarantine
officers and left in the woods. But few

from bis car at Macon, Miss, and fined SOC

A strikingly handsome display of reproduce
tions of famous engravings, ancient and mod.
erp, is made in Hale's window. The copies are
clear and sharp, and convey with fidelity the
intention of the original engravings. Some of
them are SO clear and delicate that it is difficult
to distinguish them from steel-plate work. The
reproductions are called rheotypes-a most un-
pleasant word by the way, aud apparently
without signifcance-and bear considerable re-
semblancs to the helotype, though less costly.
The copies exhibited by Mr.. Hale are of ia.
nous pictures: The Triumph of Galates, the
Madonna of the Chair, the Chocolate Girl, the
st. Cecilia, the Little Marauders, the Ecce
Homo, the Amateurs, Corregio's and Batton's
Magdalens. With these are to bs found repre-
auctions of more modern pictures. Noticeable
among these last is the portrait of the Countess
POtocka, brought into fresh notice by recent
paper in ScribneI's.

In our walk through the city we called into
the store where the Bankrupt sale is now
going on at 21S Middle street. under Fal-
mouth Hotel, Portland, Maine, and was much
surprised at the large crowd of eager buyers
who were engaged in purchasing the garments.
The goods appear far superior to what ready
made clothing is usually seen at such places.
The prices are certainly very low, and one
wonders how they can be sold at such 10
prices, being 80 near the price Of the cloth
of which they are made. People desiring any
thing in this line should call at once and thus
secure the bargains offered from large stock
to select from.
