nue., but then of Memphis, was in want of an
assistant in the hardware business, and
through the Recommendation of Mr.. Lang
staff s employers, he was engaged TO go to
memphis, and arrived there early in 1866.
Mr.. McCombs found in him more than was
expected, and In conversation with the writer
he remarked that he never met with a young
man who possessed more commendable DUAL
tiles. he was about 81 years of age when
engaged by Mr.. McCombs, but his youthful
appearance was no drawback so far as his
business relations were concerned, and he
soon had not only the unlimited confidence of
his new employer, but the friendship and af-
lection OF large portion of Memphis No
one was his enemy and nothing but words of
kindness were spoken of him. He was strictly
temperate and embodied all of the excellent
qualities that constitute an exemplary young
man. Industry was one of the salient fea-
lures of his life. There was no task too great
for him to volunteer to undertake, and the
interest of his employers was almost upper
most In his thoughts: If the working force
was short he was first to know it, aud was
performing the duties before an opportunity
had been given for his superiors to supply
the vacancy. When Mr.. McCombs removed
to st. Louis, in 1871, Mr.. Langstaff became
partner in the old house at Memphis, and
since then has been at the head of a prosper

Fever on the,Overland rra,n.

SAN FRANCISCO, September IO.-About
August 10Th, a Mrs. Hare, with her son and
four daughters, left Memphis, Tennessee, for
this city. On last Wednesday morning,
while on an emigran train on the Humboldt
division. the eldest daughter was taken quite
i'll and died suddenly, being buried on Battle
mountain. The fact that the family was
from an infected yellow-fever district, led the
officers of the railroad company to believe
that the death had been caused by yellow
fever, and the car containing Mrs, Hare and
her family and a lady named st. John, was
ordered into Immediate quarantine at Camp
twenty-five, some three miles from Verdi
The nights there are cold, and calculated to
prove beneficial in a1laying yellow-fever
The quarantined passengers are we'll cared
for by the railroad company, but will be
obliged to remain at Camp twenty-five until
the proper officers shall have declared it safe
to permit the car to pass through to this
city. Advices from that point yesterday In
dictate that the cause of Miss Hare's death
was, Enthusiastically, yellow-fever Superin-
tendent Towne also received the following
telegram from Frank Hare, of this city, who
left on Thursday to go to the assistance of
his quarantined relatives:

AGLNAu HOPE.

The reports of the past two days afford the
first CLEANS Of hope we have had since the
epidemic began. The marked decrease in
the number Of cases as well as deaths leads
to the belief that the backbone of the plague
has been broken, and that we may reasonably
look for steady decline henceforth till the
end. Some Of our physicians account for the
decline on the score of want Of material, but
the statistics Of previous epidemics show that
the fever in its progress reaches a meridian
from which 1t declines as steadily as it does in
the human system. It may stand at its pres
ent degree for few days, or for one or two
days go back to the seventies or eighties, but
its decline from the present average will be
as sudden and decided as that which furnishes
the hope Of to-day. What the effect of that
hope on the hearts and brains so long strung
to tension of almost despair none can know
save those who have experieaced it. We
draw freer breath, as if suddenly transport
ed to a different atmosphere, and like the
weary traveller ascending lofty mountain,
who finds Unexpectedly pleasant resting
place on his perilous march, we pause. rest
our wearied minds and hearts, and take fresh
courage to meet what remains Of disease and
death

CATHOLIC PRIESTS. PROTESTANT
MINISTERS AND THE YELLOW
FEVER

Under the head Of IAN Episcopal Minis
ter's Query" the Chicago Times publishes
the following communication:
Since the breaking cut of the fever in the
south | nave been an anxious and attentive
reader OF all | could gather, from whatever
source, of its ravages, and the work of those
Ia the afflicted places. One fact, evinced
mainly by the Geographic reports day after
day, is so important that ! have thought fit
to speak OF 1t especially. The devotedness
OF the Roman priesthood to the work of their
holy calling cannot be gainsald. The present
epidemic places another laurel upon the ven
cradle brow of their spiritual mother. In the
sad roll-call of those vino have fallen amid
scenes unequaled IN terror by the most
thorough ball-plowed battle. field, where
only those who are made of genuine mar
tyr stuff are standing firm and undaunt-
ed, and with which the press and
special dispatches are every morning
laden, appear the namss of the faithful
priests and other devotees of the Roman
church. Bnt have failed TO note more than
one alluslon to those VINO occupy the relation
to other religious bodies that the Roman min
lstry hold to their church. Now the writer
OF this makes the plain inquiry: Where are
those OF the various religious bodies who call
themselves pastors, priests, ministers, and SO
onS Have they fled like irelings at the APP
proach of danger? The question is asked by
one who has great reverence for faithful and
true ministers of whatever name, but with
thousands of others he scorns as dishonest,
Cowardly, and sham, those VINO stay away,
or desert, when helpless, suffering men, wo-
men, and children, reach forth feeble arms,
and as IN tears OF pain for help. Is fear
characteristic OF the ministry not Roman?
If it Is, and from the telegraphlc reports the
conclusion Is evident, should they not retire
and give place to those who show in their
lives, and by their death, that they believe
what they profess-that they-and they, as
ministry-aloDe are worthy of confidence
or honor! sTEPHANUs.
The above while doing justice to the brave
soldiers who follow the banner of ''holy
mother church, " does, unmtentionally we are
sure, injustice to those who are of the Protest
ant household of faith. While a few of these
have disgraced themselves by fleeing the fever
and leaving their charges to the mercy OF
God, to find spiritual consolation wherever
they might, most of them In Memphis have
stood to their posts and have sealed their de-
votion In death or in long seiges of the plague,
a few only having escaped. When the fever
began there were four Episcopal ministers on
duty here-Rev. DR.. George White, rector of
Calvary, Rev. George Harris, dean of st.
Mary's Cathedral, Rev. C. c. Parsons, rector
of the two Parishes Of St. Lazarus aud Grace
church, and Rev. Mr.. Gee, rector of the church
of the Good Shepherd. all of these gentle
men renamed to share the fate Of their PEG.

Oakland. Cal.

From an Appeal Correspondent
OAKLAND, CAL, September I1-Thinking
you may not have much time to look over
your exchanges, on account of your troubles,
l would like to draw your attention to the
following, which appeared in a city paper
yesterday: ga correspondent writes that the
bruised leaves of the eucalyptus or blue-gum
tree, stepped In boiling water, if drank freely
upon the first symptoms of yellow-fever, will
prove an unfalling remedy for the disease.
in addition, he suggests a poultice of the
leaves applied to the stomach as warm as can
be borne by the patient, and hot foot bath.
the agency of these combined remedies,
which at once destroys the germs of the dis
ease in the system" do not know whether
there be any truth in this, but the febrifuge
properties of the eucalyptus in malaria have
been long recognized. Yellow-fever, it
seems, springs from a soil kindred to that
which causes the different intermittents, and
it is not impossible that it may be controlled
as effectually by some undiscovered drug as
the latter are by quinine and arsenic In
view of the confidence with which the above
paragraph seems written, it may not be I'M
advisable for some of your medical men to
give the eucalyptus trial, and to report on
the results. / know it will be hard for them
to obtain the green leaves, but If there be
any radical or essential benefit in the plant,
| do not see why the tincture or infusion,
which are preparations to be had in any drug
store, would not do as well.
