Material Effects Of the Fever.

1t is estimated that the actual material
loss to the region of country scourged
by the yellow fever, thus far, is not less
than 5000, 100000, and this is, doubtless,
very low estimate. Splendid stands
to pick it, while the cessation of bust
ness in cities and towns, and on the rail
roads and river, has occasioned enor-
nous losses, which cannot now be COM
puted. Beyond expression, this has
been a terrible year for the people of
the Mississippi valley. Some people
talk in melancholy way, and express
the belief that the South will be utterly,
irremediably ruined. That is an i'm
possibility. The South has been swept
by the flood, pestilence and the sword,
yet has she come out of the depths with
a firm step and hopeful heart. Tenn
porarily crushed the South may be, but
destroyed never. There is reason to
rejoice that the yellow fever has spread
so little east of the Mississippi. 1t is
leaving broad, black mark from Cairo
to the Gulf. 1t is terrible mark, to
be sure. 1t is a trail marked by graves.
Yet out of the deeps of this woe those
communities will come with renewed
strength. If it were otherwise, we
might indeed abandon hope for the
South. The people lave too much at
stake, and the business of the valley is
too great. Its demands will speedily
set all the machinery of trade in motion
again. The heart only aches in con-
temptation of the weeks of death and
misery which must elapse before this
plague-storm's horrors will vanish

A Queer Language.

A fast man on a fast day took his fast
horse and went to the end of the fast
land, and there tied him fast, and as
fast as he could broke his fast. Then
he rose, and took off his hose, and went
with his hoes along the rows, and put
the rose on the end of his hose-which,
as every one knows, is a sort of nose,
though 1 hear some noes-and, like a
fisherman, rows for the shad with noes,
or a hunter goes for the forest roes. So
his hose waters every rose in all the
rows. Now tell me who knows how a

Oh, wonderful stream is the River Time,

WITH g fadltless rythm and musical rhyme
And broader sweep and a surge sublime,
AS It blends with the ocean Of years,

And the year is the sheaf-so they come aud
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
AS they glide in the shadow and sheen.

Where the softest OF airs are playing;
There's cloudlesa sky and a tropical cline,

Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before

Crlcket-Fighting in China.

IN some parts OF emma CrlCketS are as
regularly trained for combat as English
pugilists, the method being as follows:
The crickets when captured are kept sing
gly in earthen pots, at the bottom Of
which is a small quantity Of fine mold,
and a very small cup containing few
drops Of water for the insects to drink out
Of and battle in, Their food consists of
two kinds of fish, called man-yu and
kut-yu. Insects called too-kumchung,
and tun-tist- chung and pln-tam- chung
are occasionally given to them. They get
honey to strengthen them, and other items
for their diet are boiled chestnuts and
boiled rice. For two hours every night
afemale cricket is placed in the pot with
the male.
Smoke is supposed to be injurious to
their health, and the room IN which thew
are kept must be perfectly free from it.
A charm or mystic scroll to avert infuen
ces is sometimes placed on the cricket's
pot. If they are sick from over eating.
red insects called buechung are given
them. IF the sickness ARISES from cold.
they get mosquitoes; if from heat, shoots
Of green tea-plant. Chuk tip, or bamboo
butterflies, are giving for difficulty in
breathing.
At the cricket-pit, which the Chinese
call Lip, the insects are matched accord.
ing to size, weight and color. The stakes
are IN some cases very large. tits, how.
ever, generally supposed BY the govern.
ment that they consist of presents as
sweet cakes. A cricket which wins many
victories is called Shanlip, or conquefing
cricket, and when it dies, is is placed in q
small silver coffin and buried. Crickets
which display great fighting power are
not unfrequently sold for large sums.

This would show that the Democrats got
the majority of helocal offices; and that
the Republican State ticket was only
carried because in many Of The Congress
sional Districts the Republicans by money
were induced to trade off their local Off
ces for votes for Republican Congress
men; so that they are really worse oil
than before. While In other counties
they traded off county Offices for votes
for the State ticket. Another such a
victory will use them up entirely in Ohio.

will they do when the Greenbackers %

now to do? We see little to grieve ovel

WHOnesf MOneY.-

The Deldwdredn applies the ''raw" to
the advocates of gold payments only, in
the following sensible remarks In its issue
of to-day
1--WE see in the papers good deal said
about honest money. We suppose every
body wants honest money, and about all
they can get of it. But what is meant by
honest money? All. that is another
question. Those who prate about honest
money usually mean that they want
nothing but gold coin and paper money,
but we believe that legal tender gold and
silver coin, and paper money not legal
tender, issued by proper authority and at
all times convertible into either gold or
silver coin upon presentstion, is honest
money. We should be glad TO have a
plenty of either kind of such money, and
hope to see the day when there will be
in this country large additions both to
our gold and silver coin at the will of the
holder and not before. Nothing but the
passage of the silver bill last session could
have made it possible to restore specie
payments, but with plenty of legal ten
der silver dollars return TO specie paw
ments can be secured and maintained
with the existing amount of currency in
the country.
"We wish there was to-day not less
than 0O,0O0,000 legal tender silver dol
lars in the country. We should then not
have as much silver coin as France now
has, nor not as much as this country
needs. No danger of imitation with sill
yer coin, nOI could there be imitation
with paper MONEY if there was plenty of
coin to redeem it. Many persons who
cry out for honest money don't mean it.
They want nothing but gold coin and
paper money, which would necessarily
be irredeemable, and it is generally
true that those who insist upon honest
money are advocates of the National
Bank, as well as Of gold coin alone.
1--WE distrust man: who is constantly
prating about his own honesty, especially
! if he represents everybody else as dishon-
est; and we are disposed to question the
sincerity Of those who insist that we must
haze honest money, while they oppose
every measure to secure it. We are for
gold and silver, and for such paper
money, and no other, as can be exchang-
ed for such coin, dollar for dollar, at all
times"
The daily gazette., 1878-10-12

FIAT MONEY" is now the talk Of the
opponents Of the Democrats. Democrats
don't believe in "fiat" money. There is
no such thing in any free country. AT
whose fiat will Democrat take bit of
paper for days service or a weeks hard
work. Flats" will do to give to slaves,
but we never wish to see a government
50 powerful as to require its people to re-
ceive pay in its ''fiats.n Let Mr.. HAYES
command the people to take his notes and
We think he ewould find out that they hela
a greater contempt for him than ever
We came too near fiat issues in the ten or
twelve years since 1862, when it was shown
that a million of men in arms and threats
Of incarceration in the dungeons Of forts,
could not keep greenbacks at par. THY
were the nearest TO ''fiat" issues this coun-
Try has ever had, and We hope never to
see the like again, Paper convertible
into god and silver is the only paper
money that Democrats care to take or see
anybody else receiv. in pay for labor or
produce.

THOSE who fippantly talk of Mr..
Thurman being ''laid on the shelf" by
the election, in which he carried his State
against tremendous odds, remind us of the
eloquent and touching remark, "The
blood of the martyrs is the seed Of the
church." The gold gamblers and lobby
lists, for some unaccountable reason,
would cruelty Mr.. Thurman. The reason
can only be found in the fact that he
voted for the ''silver bill" and made the
Pacific Railroad pay the just claims OF
the government, in the last session OF
Congress.
The daily gazette., 1878-10-12

1t will thus be seen that Of the fifty
Congressman elected in the five States
tue Republicans lose one on the year
when the Democrats carried about every
State in the North that was worth making
fight for The Democrats held Oregon
in 1874, and still have it, while the Re-
publicans secure an additional member
by the admission of Colorado. They are
very nearly certain to lose one in Yer.
mont, however, where, in September
they lost the Third District, although the
opposition candidate did not have enough
to give him a majority, and a new elec.
ton will take place in November. Con
sidering that the whole fight thus far has
been made on Congress the outlook /,
not at all hopeful rs viewed through Re
publican spectacles. That party saved
almost nothing out of the sweep of 1874
and 1t is losing still more this year. ac
ttcording to the figures Times.
