The Yellow Fever.

This country should now be permit.
ted to enjoy rest. Its troubles have
been long, lasting and grievous. 1t
has been shaken to its foundation by
civil war; it has been plundered and
almost ruined by the Radical party as
a direct inheritance of the war; it has
had vulgar fraud foisted upon it as
its Chief Magistrate; it has been forced
to submit to the spectacle of John
Sherman rioting and ramifying in its
Treasury it has been compelled to
have its affairs conducted and its rev.
enues collected and administered by
thieves and jobbers; it has been forced
to- undergo all the lingering tortures of
contraction; it has been suffering from
abnormally hard times; from threats
of communistic uprisings, caused by
entire lack of confidence between cap
ital and labor; from horrible night
mares concerning a new reign of
Grantism; all these and many other
untold miseries it has been undergoing
and now, to cap the climax, comes the
last straw which is to tax human en-
durance, in the form of frightful
scourge, frightful alike in it's proper
lions and possible results.
With prompt and proper precautions
this last danger may be averted.
There is at present no forcible indica-
ton that it will spread through the
North. At the present moment it
seems to be slightly on the decrease in
that portion of the South in which it
originated. This whole change may,
however, be only the ebbing and flow
ing OF the tide. The only satisfactory
remedy is prompt prevention. It is a
disease which must not be given a
foothold or start. The probability
Of its coming to Washington is at pre-
sent slight. Norfolk would be it's first
point of attack, and Washington
would be given timely warning by its
presence there. This security should
n OF, however, have the effect of caas-
ing the slightest relaxation in vigilant
precautionary. 1t is an evil to be
feared and looked to, however distant
Our sympathy should, however, go
out to those unfortunate Southern
communities which have been and
still are visited by the horrible
scourge. Sympathy, however, is
cheap, and of little benefit. 1t should
be accompanied by substantial aid to
our suffering fellow citizens of the
South, the least able to bear these Wis
itations, the first to experience them
and the last to recover from theil
loathsome effect. -lWashington Post

DIED:

NEAR this Town, at the residence Of her
son, Wm. Leckie, in the 59th year of
her age, MARY ANN BOWIE, widow
of the late Charles S. Leckie, of this
Town.
The deceased, whom we have known
and cherished for more than forty
years, was a true woman and christian
lady in the broadcast aud truest mean
ing of the words, and we trust we do
not intrude on the sanctity of parental
grief when we pen these few lines to
her memory. Born and reared in Rap
ides, her children have cause to be
proud of such a mother, and the blood
heritage of her name should be their
guerdon through life. She was the
daughter of Stephen Bowie, an own
brother of the noble James Bowie, who
fell at the massacre of the Alamo, fight
ing nobly and CALAMITY for the liberty
of his people, aad at the time of her
death was the nearest blood kin of that
remarkable man. Her mother was
Compton, which links her blood and
that of her children to the two oldest
and best families of ancient and mod-
ern Rapides, aud her husband whose
name she carried to the grave adds a
graceful leafet to her traditional
lineage.

A Minnesota Husbands Troubles
With Limburger.

A young gentleman of Faribault,
boy among the boys, who occasionally
visited saloons and sampled lambs
tongue, pigs feet, tripe, and actually
educated himself to Hike Limburger
cheese, after awhile married, as such
men will. His wife is cultivated and
sensitive little creature, as loyeable as
she is sensitive. Well, Robert-that
was his name, Bob for short-shook
tho boys after marriage, as he ought.
and stopped around home for two OF
three weeks every evening; but there
were times when lie had an awful han
kering for his old relishes, snch as
herein before described, especially the
cheese, and one evening, being down
town on an errand, he thought he
would take little Limburger home
and have an old fashioned lunch be-
fore retiring. He got the cheese and
started for home, but as he neared his
abode it struck him that it was the
rankest cheese, even for Limburger, in
all his experience. People held their
noses as they met him, and every dog
in the front yard went around behind
the house as he went by. Before be
reached home his courage gave out anu
he slipped his bundle into hole in the
gate post, thinking he would 60 in and
interview his wife-sort of prepare her
for the meeting, as it we're. But lie
was scarcely in the house before his
wife gave warning sniff, and looking
at him sharp, inquired if he was sure
lie hadn't stepped in something. Bob
mistrusted what was the matter, but
innocently looked first at one foot and
then at the other, and said: "No, my
feet are all right" Mrs. Bob gave a
sniff or two more, got mp, opened the
door, closed it suddenly, and then
went into the rooms leading toward
the rear of the house. She was gone
about five minutes and in the mean
time Bob became satisfied what the
trouble was, but for the life OF him did
not dare to tell her. What would she
say to learn that he had ever eaten
such stuff She never would forgive
him, and would probably apply for a
divorce.
She speedily returned and said, in a
business sort of way, "Robert, we must
have the sewer cleaned, and the scav-
enger here. I can't stand it any longer
It is getting to be perfectly awful."-
Bob said he would attend to it in the
morning, and the first opportunity
slipped out, got a spade, took the
cheese into the garden and buried it.
But he had to have the sewer, &c
cleaned all the same, and the job cost
him SIS. A few months later Bob told
his wife about it, but declared the
cheese was given him to try; he had
never eaten any of il llimself-[ Fari.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
w ARLINGTON,

Aug 2e, 1881
EDtToR DEMocRAT--
The Post, of this city, is devoting
its space to efforts to defeat the nom
ination of Grant for the Presidency.
The labor is probably unnecessary.
Public sentiment is not tending that
way. The unpopularity of Hayes in
his own party, and his failure to car
ry out any of the reforms to which
he was specially pledged, have caused
the Republicans to look for a future
leader at an earlier period than usual,
and Grant, whose administration.
whatever else may be said of it, was
not hypocritical one, naturally re-
ceives attention. When the time for
nomination comes the sins of him
self and his friends, now forgotten in
contemplating the fraud and dishon-
esty of his successor, will have due
weight in the public mind. The
Post need not be alarmed. The pub.
lie will not ask repetition of an ad.
ministration made respectable only
by the infamy of the one which fol
lows it.
The Potter Committee got from
Major Burke confirmation of some
of the testimony of Mr.. Roberts, and
the heretofore unnoticcd fact was
brought out that Hayes used his per-
sonal influence with Grant, in the
last hours of the Administration, to
have affairs in Louisiana put in such
shape that the incoming President
would have less difficulty in carrying
out his "bargain" to "let Packard
down easy"
Butler and Blaine--I put them in
that order because there is great
deal more originality and real ability
in Butler than in Blaine--are the
busiest Bs in the country. Butler is
doing all the work of the Potter
Committee, managing his large law
business, managing the new party,
making speeches here, there and ev-
erywhere, and writing innumerable
letters to all classes Of people.
Blaine keeps the Republicans of his
own State in order, has larger cor
respondence than any other Ameri
lean politician ever had, manages his
large private fortunes, and is booked
for political speeches in States South
and West. They do not seem to re
member that the Presidency never
comes to busy people. They should
rest for season and allow others to
do so.
! AS the yellow fever extends its
ravages there is an increasing alarm
here. Many families, including
those of all the high officials, are
leaving for the North. The fact that
the disease appears in places hereto
fore exempt, and does not follow ex.
actly its former lines of progress,
helps to create apprehension. We
have miles of rotten wooden pave
ments, and the sanitary condition Of
the city is in other respects worse
than it has been for years. The
Health Officer, however, thinks we
shall not be visited. Liberal amounts
are being subscribed for afflicted
Southern cities, the Isrelites taking
the lead in the humane work.
