THE yellow fever is proving to be o
terrible scourge in the southern cities.
Granada, in Mississippi, is almost depop-
ulated. New Orleans and Memphis are
suffering fearfully, and the panic extends
clear to Chicago. Strict quarantines are
established, and in consequence, want is
being added to the other horrors. Many
are dying without attendants at their
death beds.

Ben BUFFERS answers to the question
propounded by Dennis Kearney il ref
erence to the Chinese question, will be
quite generally read by persons interest
ed in the immigration of the Chinese,
and by those who have given thought to
international law. Butler says that the
opinion was hastily prepared and this is
evident from the fact that he reasons,
rather than quotes authorities. But the
decision is marked by legal acumen and
close analysis and reaches conclusions
which it seems difficult to contraVene.
Though the opinion denies, the power of
any state to prevent the Immigration OF
the Chinese, il favors the idea that the
Chinese may be practically excluded from
any state. Laws may be passed prevent
do bushes within the state, or excluding
them from the fisheries within the state.
A capitation tax as condition precedent
to the landing of the Chinese, is check
on immigration, and is consequently
prohibited by the treaty. declaring the
right Of Chinese to imnaigrate; hut
per capita tax may be levied on resident
aliens. A state may exclude aliens from
occupying any portion of its territory also
and restrict the manner of its occupation.
A state may also confer on municipali-
ties, the power of exclusion from its
limits, of persons whose presence may
prove detrimental to the health or morals
of the community, and there is no good
reason why the state, the source of this
power, may not exercise it itself. But
leF thinks that as the three branches of
the law-making power cannot make any
state the lazar house of any nation, that
the executive, by treaty, can not make
it the supreme law of the land. He cites
the alien law of John Adams as an exam
pie of the exercise CT the power,
and says that though its wisdom was
questioned, its constitutionality was ad-
mittea.

THE present silver coins of the United

THE present silver coins of the United
States are paradox. The standard sill
yer dollar contains 412s grains aud it is
worth 100 cents III gold. The Trade
dollar contains 420 grains and it is worth
81 cents in gold, An increase in
weight of 1-55 of the coin depreciates it
IN value 8 cents. Or u grains of
silver and alloy lessons the value of the
coin 8 cents. Calculating OIL this
ratio OF decrease in value for increase
of weight, q silver coin weighing 495 sc
grains, would be yalueiess. A man hav-
ing silver coin weighing 579 grains
emitting an insignificant fraction, would,
by the possession of the coin, be one
hundred cents in debt.
The Mexican and the trade dollar have
no value except as bullion G, their cir
culation is optional. A person in pos
session of a trade dollar apo grains of
silver and alloy can not exchange it for
a standard silver dollar, (4124 grains of
silver and alloy.) He must give for the
412! grams of the compound, 461 grains
of the same compound. Following the
theory adopted by the government in the
reconciliation of the "dollar of the dad
dies" the more silver the less value. But
adopting the practice at the mint in
Philadelphia or at the Assay Office in
New York the more silver the greater the
value. Here Is an example of reductjo
al nbsHrdtlhi.
Many persons triumphantly ask why
the results predicted by the anti-silyer
men have not superyened? Simply because
the coming of silver is managed sole
ly by the government, and its circulation
controlled by the anti-silver Secretary,
Sherman. 1t has now a nominal value
greatly in excess of its intrinsic value.
But let there be free coming and the le-
gal tender character of the standard dol
lar be retained, and all the silver of the
country will find its way to the mint,
until disaster and the exit of gold from
circulation will compel a change. The
standard silver dollar, with the great
difference between its real and its nom
inal value has in it promise of future
trouble which ere long will be realized.

himself of happy device ifor securing
the chief aim Of his life-getting money
without work. Aware that the Wells
Fargo stage would soon pass over the
road he threw off his coat; turned out
his pockets; tore his shirt, scratched his
face; rolled in the dirt; and then with
much trouble tied himself to tree, anx-
iously awaiting the stage He felt con.
fident that by pretending to have been
robbed Of his last dollar, maltreated and
bound to tree BY desperate highway
men, be would get handsome subscrip-
tion from the sympathetic, open-handed
passengers. The stage, unfortunately
for him, took short cut by a new road,
and the tramp after tarrying until night
fall, tried In vain to unloose his bonds
While 90 engaged, a hungry grizzly bear
descended the mountain, drawn by the
mans cries for help; attacked him, un-
ablefto offer resistance and nearly de-
voured him. His remains were discov-
cred two days after, and recognized as
those of tramp who had several times

had to pass the Old Gate; a steep ascent
leads to this gate, contiguous to which
are several houses; one of these was oc-
cupied by mechanic as dwelling and
workshop. Among his journeymen was
a native of Tyrol, an industrious and
worthy fellow, but. like all his country.

the French. On the morning when the
Emperor rode to the Speilburg the Tv-
rolese was missing His comrades were
just talking of him when the apprentice
entered the shop and mentioned that be
had seen the Tyrolese at the window OF
the loft. This awakened curiosity, and
the master went up to the loft to see
what he was doing; he found him kneel-
ing at the window, with gun ready
cooked lying before him, and bis eyes
fixed on the road by which Napoleon
was to pass. AS the house stood on the
declivity of the bill, consequently lower
than the gate, tine Emperor on horse

to the gate, would have been nearly 90

A few moments after the master had dis
