Yellow Fever I'm the Country.

Kosciusko (Miss.) Star, Goth: The
fever is gradually spreading in the country
lying Immediately around Canton and Vicks-
burg, being imported from these places. One
dispatch from Canton states that gentleman
in Madison county took it the other day who
had not been about any infected place or
person. He doubtless is unaware of the fact,
but If the truth could be known, he doubtless
has been in the company of some refugee.
We regret to chronicle the fact that the fever
has also made its appearance in Jefferson
county, as viii appear from the following
item, which we clip from the last Natchez
Democrat: we have letter from very re-
liablesource, dated at Fayette, September 9Th,
stating positively that there is yellow-fever
IN the northern part of Jefferson county, four
teen miles from Fayette, and about five or six
miles from Camp Hardeman. Some time
ago man named Murphy went from Port
Gibson to DIR. Brumley's and died of yellow
fever. DR.. Brumley contracted the disease
and died last Thursday. There is still another
case on DIR. Brumley's place. ~

Little Rock Democrat: Each day but re-

this Inflated city. There is no abatement of
the pestilence, and the place is in truth
doomed. In all the range Of history, there
are but one or two instances of desolation
ike this-the plague in Florence and Venice
in 1889. The proud and beautiful mistress
of the sea was compelled to sit in sackcloth
and ashes, and Florence was deserted. The
social state of these cities and Memphis was
similar. Of all the cities of the world they
were the gayest of the gay The very

DEAR SIR-Yours of the fifteenth is at
hand. Isent by order of Mayor Schen and
by the request of prominent citizens
a large ozone generator for use in
any locality the Board of Health should
designate. 1t will thoroughly purify or
disinfect the air of a very large building.
l have been unable to get word from DIR.
Lawrence, to whom l sent two smaller ma
chimes, and which should have been in Mem
phis last week. l also sent the Doctor draw
ings and patterns by which he can improvise
any number of useful machines for twenty
FIVE cents each. If you could see him you
would get the idea. / could. with little
assistance, imprCvise two hundred of these
machines In a day. | will send, if tele-
graphed, ten or twenty such machines as
the one sent to Memphis to-day. l
have made ozone careful study for
nearly four years, and | feel assured it will
ozidize instantaneously the yellow-fever poi
son. 1t will pass through cotton batting two
feet thick in three minutes, permeating every
fibre, and combining with everything capa-
bic of oxidation. Thus you see it penetrates
clothing, and by the respiration is carried to
every capillary of the body. If you can, l
wish you.would see my generator, apply your
pocket-handerchief to the porous well for
minute, and then inhale forcibly. You will
discover freshness in the inspiration which
you cannot. find in the dreadful atmosphere
which surrounds you. | asked DIR. Lawrence
to try for disinfection of privies, drains, sew
ers, ETC., solution composed as follows:
sulphate of copper three pounds, sulphate of
iron ten pounds, water fifty gallons. This
will instantly fix all volatile matter, and the
drier the weather the more firmly will all
such impurities be held. Nothing approaches
it for efficiency, applied to floors, walks and
all porous substances. have demonstrated
the almost specific power of ozone in all
zymotic diseases. | trust it is not too late to
prove its value in yellow-fever. If you would
like one of my machines in your house or
office, telegraph, and l Will send at once, free.
l am really gratifed for your recognition of
my efforts to add new feature to the means
heretofore used in the treatment OF yellow
fever. May God preserve your life. Very
truly, yours, F.. W. BARTLETT.

The only aluslOn to personal wrongs have

arguments used, since, among the strongest
arguments against Calico, we find, by look

the other great theologians of the time. the
constantly reiterated declaration that Cali

christian plan of salvation;' and, also, that it
cast suspicion on the doctrine OF the incarna-
ton " A candid, analytical view of the two
cases will reveal the same intolerance of new

plOded errors however far within the domain

that neither the district nor circuit court of
the United States was in session-the GOV
eminent will now proceed to press the case
vigorously IN its own courts It is intended
to make this case for the settling Of most of
the questions which can arise involving a con-
hict between the States and the United States
authorities. For this purpose it has been de-
cided TO have Chief-Justice Waite 90 to South
Carolina, about September LIST, to sit with
Judge Bond, who is judge of the fourth iu-
dlclal circuit of the United States. The chi, f
justice has requested the President to employ
the ablest legal talent which he can command
to argue the case in behalf of the United
States. Selections have been made. but the
names of the attorneys have not yet been an
nounced publicly. 1t is known that the State
OF South Carolina will also employ the best
lawyers which the authorities there can OBJ
tain. Immediate application is to be made
for trial for the revenue officers before
