Yellow Fever.

Should this terrible disease ever, unfortunately,
reach these Islands, the information contained IN
the following short article may prove of the greatest
benefit. OF course, 10 time should be lost IN
calling a competent physician at the very begin
ming of an attack. The premouitory symptoms
resemble somewhat those of the disease which
old residents will remember as the Boo-hoo
Fever, :" said 10 have been introduced from Pana-
ma, by a passenger ship bound to San Francisco
in the :. early days and which, being driven
out of her course by stress Of weather, put in at
the Islands to obtain supplies and water, leaving
the malady above named os a remembrance Of
her visit.
Yellow Fever is supposed to be q highly poison
Gus cryptogamic spore, capable OF self-rePrOduc-
ton, and invading the system through the respi-
ratory organs. From q focus of infection II Will
spread in all directions at a uninform rate Of
forty feet a day. When taken into the system,
it goes through a stage ofincubation varying from
two or six days before manifesting itself. Then
it suddenly attacks in the following ways
Sometimes, on arising in the morning, the pa
tient feels dull, stretchy, $50 to speak, and lndO-
lent. An hour or two passes and he b%rightens
up, feeling unusually well. Suddenly there Is a
slight chill, a sharp, sudden shifting with pain
in the back and loins, an acute aching across the
eyes, and shortly in the back Of the head and
neck. Fever sets in almost Immediately, and in one
half hour from the premonitory SYMPTOMS the pa
tient is often IN wild delirium, with a pulse
bounding to ITO, and temperature often rising to
log or l08. In this state he usually continues
from AZ to 20 hours, when the fever abates or
leaves him entirely. This is the secondary or
stage Of collapse, and is the critical point. Every
vital organ has been strongly invaded, and the
tissues consumed by the intense heat. The heart
IS enfeebled, the liver strongly congested (whence
the sallowness from which the malady derives its
name,) the stomach and kidneys iniamed violent
ly. There are FIVE or six hours Of calm, in which
the patient is conscious and free from pains.
Suddenly nausea appears, with dull pains in the
epigastric region. The sufferer Tetches several
times, and emits two or three mouthfuls of a
brownish fluid, with black, cofee-like grains
floating therein. This is the dreaded black
vomit. The eyes roll wildly about, as if seeking
relief. A few minutes more of quiet, then an
other spell of nausea, more black yomit, and in
a few minutes coma supervenes, and the unfor-
tunate man sinks into insensibility, and shortly
to death.
In other cases the fever never relaxes in VIC
lence, and the result is congestion of the brain.
Again, it continues so long that all recuperative
power is lost, and death comes from sheer ex-
haustion or, as in many cases. the kidneys re-
fuse to act, and strong commissions set in, ending
the struggle in a short time.

AMERICANS IN FRANCE.

Americans make the best Frenchmen OF
all the foreigners in Paris. The English
are always English, and promenade in Lon
don styles on the Rue de Rivoli, affect
nothing but dog carts and drags on the
Bouleyards and in the Bois do Boulogne,
and when they condeseend to learn French
never speak it without the peculiar nasal
cockney twang of Piccadilly. The Rus
SLAMS are intensely Russo in everything, and
spend more money on diamonds and cham
napne than all the other foreigners put
together. But an American has not been
a week in Paris before he wakes his mus
tache, buys plug hat of the latest Partisan
style at Chantil's, sports lavender kids ana
a. whalebone cane with an ivory leg 1or q
handle, wears narrow trowsers, tightly
fitting cheviot sack coat and patent leather
boots, and says Eau plaisir?" and par

PERSEvERING.

A notable little bird often met with in
Europe is called the 3turnstone. 1t has
earned this singular name by the manner
in which 1t procures it food, which is by
turning over,y with its strong, curved beak,
the stones on the seashore, in order to OBJ
tain the insects under them. Walking
along the seashore on the Scotch coast, one
day, an eminent naturalist once saw two OF
these little birds trying hard to turn over
Goldfish, but as 1t was six times as large as
themselves they found their task rather
difficult. Still they set bravely to work,
pushing away first with their bills and
then with their breasts; but Id spite Of
their ppsIing the fish would not turn over,
so thsy ran round to the other side of it,
and began to scrape away the sand to un-
dermine him, SO that he might turn over
more easily; and then with fresh energy
they set to work, but still the heavy fish
would not move. They tried again and
again without success. Presently another
turnstone came to their assistance. There
were three Of them now, and after repeated
trials and failures they at last succeeded in
rolling the Ash over. You may imagine
how much they enjoyed the rich feed Of
insects which they found where the fish
had lain. Their energy and perseverance
might be copied by many idlers Of the hu-
man race.

A LEGAL FIB.

A good story is told of Brougham in his
youth. He was junior counsel with cele-
brated lawyer Of the day in case that
nearly concerned the royal family. The
leader oppressed with the responsibilities of
his charge, and weary with his exertions,
had been addressing the court in close
argument for several hours, when it was
apparent to every one that his mind had
suddenly ceased to act in unison with his
speech. Mr.. - became furried, stam-
merred, and began to plunge. Brougham
saw what had happened, and instantly rose,
interrupted his chief, and addressed the
court. Wearing upon his face an express
sion of great suffering, he assured their
lordships of his deep regret at having to
trouble them at such time with matter
personal to himself, but he was nearly mad
with earache by reason Of the draught
from a door at his right; might it be
closed? The Bench condoled with
Broueham on his suffering, and at once
ordered measures to be taken to stop the
draueht. ''The door leading into the
other court" was shut, but still the draught
came; windows were examined, and sand
bags were placed against the openings in
them tillthe nuisance was abated-tIl q
good quarter of an hour had been con-
sumed, and Mr.. Brougham's leader had
had time to recover himself. 1t is,
perhaps, needless to add that the intelligent
Junior "had not an ache or pain in all
his great body" 1t was only a legal
stratagem. @5 yH.af-H <

: "sqUAniNG IT."

A good story has been told of q ,lisping
officers having been victimized by 2sI
brother oficer-who was noted for bis
cool deliberation and strong nerves-and
Of his "getting square, with him in the
following manner. The cool joker-Cap-
tain Blakeney-was always quizzing the
lisping Officers Lieutenant-for his ner-
vousness, and said one day at mess, "Why,
nervousness is all nonsense; I tell you, no
brave man is ever nervous" "Well," in
quired bis lisping friend, ''how would you
act thpothing thell with an inth futhee
thould drop itthelf in walled angle, in
which you had taken thelter from COM
pany Of tharpthooterth, and where il wath
thertain if you put out your nothe you'd
get peppered ?" "How5'T said the Cap
tain, with look at his brother officers.
"Why, take it coolly, and spit on the
fusee." The party broke up, and all re-
tired.
The next morning number Of soldiers
were assembled on parade; when along
came the lisping lieutenant. Lazily open
his eyes, he remarked to cluster of off,
GERS II want try an ekthperiment thith
morning, and see how ektheedingly cool
Tom Blakeney can be-" Saying this, he
walked deliberately into the Captains
quarters, where a fire was burning on the
hearth, and placed in its hottest part a
powder canister, and instantly retreated.
There was but one door of egress from the
quarters, and that opened upon the parade
ground; the occupant gave one look at
the canister, oomprehended the situation,
and in moment made for the door, but
it was fastened on the outside. "Charley,
let me out, If you love me?' shouted the
Captain. "Thpit on the canithterl"
shouted he in return. Not moment was
to be lost; the Captain had at first snatched
up blanket to cover himself with; but
soon dropping it, he raised the window,
and out he bounded, sans everything but q
very short under-garment, and thus, with
hair almost on end, he dashed on to full
parade ground. The shouts which hailed
him brought out the whole of the occu-
pants of the barracks to see what was the
matter and the dignifed Captain pulled a
sergeant in front of him to hide himself.
"Why didn't you thpit on it" inquired the
Lieutenant. because there were no
sharpshooters in front to stop a retreat,
answered the Captain. "All I've got to
thay, then, ith," said the Lieutenant, 'that
you might thafely have done it; for III
thware there wathn't thingle grain OF
powder in it. "-English Paper. (
