AmerIcan public Health Association.

RICHMOND, November 20.-The American
Public Health Association was called to or
der this morning by President Harris.
Previous to proceeding with the regular
order OF business the President laid before
the Association letter from Governor
Porter, OF Tennessee, rcgretting his being
unable 10 attend on account Of official
business, assuring the Association OF his
active sympathy with the noble work in
which they are engaged, and extending
an invitation to hold the next meeting ut
Nashville. The invitation was referred to
the Executive Committee for considera-
ton.
After some routine business, DR.. Bemis
read the regular report OF the Yellow Fee-
yer Commission, which says that the yell
low fever was imported into New Orleans
by the steamship Emily Souder, in the
month OF May. The Commission visited
the various infected points In the Missis-
sippi Valley, and found, as result of their
investigation a sad neglect and violation
OF the laws OF health in regard to drain
age, inattention to deposits Of fntid mat
ter and refuse animal and vegetable mat
ters, and inattention to the purity Of drink
ing water.
The conclusions reached are as follows:
/. We have not in solitary. instance
found case Of yellow fever which we
could justifably consider as OF q de fopO
origin or indigenous to its locality.
9. In respect to most OF the various
towns we visited and in which were pa.
tients Of the epidemic, the prevalence oi
the testimony showed that importation
was direct and convincing In its character.
3. The transmission OF yellow fever be-
tween points separated by any sonsider'
able distance appeared to be wholly due to
human intercourse. In some instances tho
poison was carried in the clothing OF the
people going from infected districts; in
others It was conveyed in cotton bagging
or goods OF the same description.
4. The weight of the testimony Is very
pronounced against the further use OF dis.
infectants. Physicians in the infected
towns almost without exception state that
they are useless agents TO arrest the spread
OF yellow fever, while some affirm that
their vapors are seriously prejudiciai to
the sick.
5. Personal prophyloxis, by means oi
drugs or other therapeutic means, has
proved constant failure. A respectable
humber Of physicians think that tile use o.
small doses OF quinine is good in the
prevention. So ..s.5,5.,.-....r II
8. The quarantine was established will
such a degree Of surveillance and rigol
that absolute non intercourse was the re-
suit, and that 1t effectcally and without ex'
ception protected its subjects from the yel
low fever. ..........

LONDON, November 2O.-At the opening
OF tho Prussian Parliament yesterday, the
Vice Chancellor said: "The Government
relies upon the cooperation Of the Cham'
bers for the removal OF financial difficult
ties Last years surplus will be almost en-
tirely required to cover the increasing con-
tributions OF Prussia toward the German
exchequer. The interest on the public debt
will likewise be considerably increased,
and there are other unavoidable expenses,
unless important interests are to be
neglected retrenchment will be impossible.
The influx oflarge sums from extraordinary
sources has ceased, while the ordin-
ary and regular revenues arc sui.
iefing from q continued depression
Of trade, don't allow US to count
upon any sensible addition to the
previous figures. As the revenue is INSULT.
cient to cover the ordinary and regular ex-
penditure OF the State, the means rcqulr-
ed to amend this state OF things will be
found in the taxes and imports handed
over to the German Exchequer. The de-
felt Is stated TO exceed seventy million
marks. But for the last OF the French in
demnity being distributed in 1876, the de-
felt would have occurred year ago. II is
mainly occasloned by the steady increase
OF military expenditures, accompanied by
the decrease OF indirect taxes and the pro
ceeds from the Governments railways,
mines and forests"

Intrinsic values. Y3g

ton alter the following fashion:
4ltmay be news 10 some Of the bullion.
iS who Clamor so loudly for "honest
money" to he told that it is estimated that
hon 70 to 50 per cent OF the value OF gold
sd1e solely to its use rs money and but
9DSO per cent OF it TO its use in the arts
midas ornaments. Seventyper cent like
vie Of the value OF silver Is due solely to
isr'e as money, and about 80 per cent OF
ito its use in the arts. II can thus be
Ssa that the bOsh about the intrinsic
VLueOi gold and silver rs money contains
aCnat deal Of moOnshinc in 1t, although
ageat many gudgcons are allured and

There may be a great deal OF point in

esanot exactly perceive it. The uses OF
gold anil silver in the arts increase from

@ impossible, to set u per cent OF "in-

tfhe sake Of the argument that this per

THERE'S heated discussion between
Moncure D. Conway, who quotes Sir
Henry Rawlinson and George Smith on
the one hand, and the Hon. Henry Wat
terson on the other, as to whether Adam
was negro or a white orruddy man. Mr..
Conway says: 0.l i5e@ y
sit Is now pretty African version OF
the fall of man that Adam and Eve were
negroes, and only when they had sinned
and heard the Creator calling were their
faces stricken with that pale hue which
has continued among the more sinful race.
Itnow appears from the earliest tablets
on the subject that there Is more ground
for this tradition than 1t has hitherto been
credited with-at least as far as the color
OF the first pair Is concerned. The tablet
is in the British museum, brought by the
late George Smith. An inscription mark
ed X. 1864, contains in 1t IN account OF
the creation OF man by the god MirKu
noble crown. TO fear them [the godsl
he made the man; the breath Of life was
in him, May he [the god Mir-Ku1 be es-
tablished, and may his will not fail, in the
mouth OF the dark races which his hand
has made This Is the earliest allusion In
existence to the biblical account Of crea-
ton, and it distinctly points to the first
race being dark. This confirms what Sir
Henry Rawlinson said long ago, that
Adam means dark race in distinction
from 'Sarku,' light race; and Geo. Smith
thought that the account Gen. viz OF the
sons OF God marrying the daughters OF
men meant the Sarku intermarrying with
the Adam. 1t appears, therefore, that
Adam was negro"
The Hon. Henry Watterson quotes jose
phus and some other highly respectable
gentlemen to prove that Adam was Of a
ruddy color. ~
