Upon reading the report Of what has been
done by the Brooklyn Board of Health in
investigating the origin Of the yellow fever
cases that have occurred on the receiving
ship Vermont the people will be pleased to
observe how tremendously scientific scien-
tifc men can be upon occasions that do not
call Tor great deal of science. 1t was said
of an eminent man Of the West,
who perhaps passed his hot terms
in the swift waters Of the Mis-
sissippi, that he could dive deeper, stay
down longer and come up dryer than any
other man in the United States, and the
Brooklyn Health Board officers have a
touch Of his extreme quality. They can go
more scientifically into a plain piece OF
common sense than any other doctors ever
fearful and dangerous ballast brought by a
ship from Cuba first the stone ballast and
then the sand ballast. They have measured
this material and the space it fills, and how
far it is north, east, south and west of
everything. They have investigated the
navy luIu sewage anu eue hAuu uIoubeo
up from the harbor. They have gone into
oil these points infinitely, exhaustively
and ridiculously, and the truth about
it all is that the first man taken
down with fever on board the ship had
recently come from yellow fever countries.
They deliberately investigated every fact
that had no relation to the cases and the
one fact Of real note they did not touch,
DR.. Wyckoff, the first man to die Of those
taken, lately came from the Isthmus and
had had fever there. II he had not in his
own person disease that might be COM
municated by contagion to other persons
his effects were on the ship, and
the poison of yellow fever is carried
in articles of clothing quite as GER
tainly as in the person of one who
has actually taken the disease. In fact. the
second person attacked was hospital stew
ard who had, perhaps, unpacked the doc
tors luggage. There is, therefore, no mys-
terry whatever as to how this disease reached
the Vermont, and no superhuous science
need be wasted on that inquiry, for all that
they have will be needed to localize the
malady, or, at least, to prevent its spread
to Brooklyn. This should assured'y be
done, and unless the case is grossly mis-
managed there is not the slightest occasion
for alarm.

q The WEATHER.-Thc main features oil yester-
days weather differed very little from those of
the preceding day, except regards tho posi-
tons of the centres of high and low pressure
and the average temperature. The low baro-
metric areas in the Northwest and off the New
England coast have moved eastward but "a very
little distance, and continue to influence the
weather in their immediate localities. without
much alteration in the areas influenced. The
relatively high pressure oil the South Atlantic
coast has been slightly diminished, but that in the
region west Of the Missouri has increased.
Light rains have fallen in four of the principal
districts--namcly, the Middle aud East Atlantic
States, the lake region, the Upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys and the South Atlantic
States. The winds, except on the immediate
margins of the two depressions, where they
frcshcn occasionally have been moderate and
variable. A sensible decrease OF the intense
heat has been experienced in nearly all
the districts east Of the Mississippi The
region within the isothcrm of ninety dc
prces embraced the lower New England, Middle
aud South Atlantic States, the East Gulf and
part of the West Gulf States, the Central VAL
lev region and that south of line westward
from Cincinnati, excluding Chicago and Omaha,
but running northwcstward into the plains north
Of the Platte Valley. The highest tcmpcra
lures were WITHIN area marked on the north
by St. Louis, Cairo, Nashville, Pittsburg and
Philadelphia. and the south by Shreveport,
vicksburg and Southern Georgia. a small, de-
tachcd area Of heat overlays tho upper lakes

five degrees higher than New Orleans The heat

grees into the evening, but was at its highest
about two degrees less than on the preceding
day This may be attributed to the absence OF
rain and clouds yesterday, which helped to cool
of the atmosphere OH the day before. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will DC cooler and fair, with occasional threat
cning cloudiness and, perhaps, rains To-mor-
,ow IL will be somewhat warmer and fair

AN OLD KENTUCKY DUEL.-A duel was
fought at Soap Island, in Bridgeport, in
1896. The participants we're Shelton and
kingsbury. Shelton thought it Was real !
KiDgsbury knew it to be Joke. The
guns were loaded with soft soap. Shelton
won the first fire, banged away and drop
ped behind a log. kings5ury walked up,
put the muzzle of the gun against the head
of Shelton and pulled the trigger. Such a
looking man was never seen. Soft soap
covered his head entirely. In the agony of
despair Shelton reached up, got a handful
of the soap and exclaimed: ''Oh, my poor
brains my poor brains ~ Realizing the
hoax, he sprang up and chased King gsbuIy
off the island with rocks, swearing al the
while like a sailor. Shelton afterward en-
listed in Sam. Huuston's war, and made a
good soldier. Coming back from Texas,
he passed through Hartlinsviile with his
suu on lis shoulder. One of his old friends
cried out "Halt ~ He did sn. present
aims r. He presented. Make ready -
He did so. Take aim - lie aimed -
Fire - lie wheeled. fired right at the
fellow, the bullet just missed his head,
went through the door and dropped on the
floor inside. Shelton took to his heels.
In the civil war he made brave soldier,
was unflinching in his attention to duty,
aud died like soldier at Mission Ridge.

INTERESTING DIsCovERY.-The remains
OF "A chapel built in the days of the crusades
have been discovered near the Mount of
Olives. Jerusalem. The road from the
mount to Bethany passes along narrow
strip OF land which ceases ut a hill near the
village. On the boIder of this road the
ruins were found several feet below the
surface. The altar of the chapel was
serted to be on the exact spot where the
Saviour mounted his ass at the feast of
palms to ride into Jerusalem. Several
paintings were found upon the stones, in
Guiding one of the disciples of Christ
bringing the ass to him another of the

TRUSTING BoY.-DuTing the session
of the late Episcopal Convention in Boston,
the Bishop of Louisiana, in crossing the
Common, met boy whose face he fancieG.
and, calling him to him, asked if he had
anything to do just then, to which he said
no. ''ATe you good boy ?' The little
fellow scratched his head and replied Il
am not a very good boy. | cuss a little
sometimes" This candid answer inspired
the Bishop with confidence, aud he .hen
said, after giving his name and address
Il want you to go to certain place aud
get a bundle for me, aud bring it to my
hotel. There will be a charge of eight
dollars; here is the money to pay IT, and a
half dollar which you will keep for doing
the enand. ''Ou his return to the hotel the
Bishops friends laughed at him for his
credulity, telling him that he would never
see the boy or the money again, but in half
an hour the young chap returned, bringing
the bundle and receip ed bill for eight
dollars and a half the Bishop having made
a slight mistake Is 10 the amount that was
due. How did you manage to pay the
extra half dolar?' he inquired. Il took
the money you gave me for the job.

And ''all right" it was marie, and l have
no doubt that the confidence that was re-
posed i'll that boy, because of his truthful
ness, will do him good as long as he lives.

The ROMANCE OF OIyoRCE.-The Atch-

vorced In that city
The parties live in AtchinsOn county

espectahl@-peopIe of wealth and standing
ana the divorce was granted yes eriay with
out alimony or other relief. Th.. wife was
the plaintiff, and she is now about 80 years
old; the defendant il about IS. The parties
lived in Indiana, and when they were mar
RED the young wife was less than is, while
the husbaI Il was 80. One child was the
fruit of this marriage, and for time they
lived happily together. Then the wife ac-
cused the husband of infidelity and institu-
tel proceedings for a divorce, ana as ne IN
terposed no defense, n divorce was granted
with 81 500 alimony. Both married again,
and moved to separate States. The new wife
of the old man ahsconded with n lightning
rod peddler, and the young wife's husband
eloped with a strange woman. A year or
two after this the man moved to Texas and
engaged in the Texas cattle trade, and COM
ing to Kansas with a drove of cattle, by "A
strange chance met his former wife in Atch-
lnSOn. They became reCOnciled to each
other again, and undertook to live together
once more, Squire jackson uniting them as
husband ard wife. 1t seems that the nus
band had got divorce from the wife who
eIoped with the lightning rod peddler, but
the wife had not been so particular. They
were now living in Atchinsou county, duly
and legally married, when great religions
revival occurred in their vicinity and both
beca me lmhued with spirit of religion.
I Hder this influence the wife confessed her
shortcomings TO the minister, and he recOm-
menued that they live separate and apart.
Again separation occurred, including a di-
vision of all the property. III a short time
the religious excitement wore away and
once more they Joined their fortunes as hus-
band and wife, living together until "A few
months ago. Then the wife came into the
District Court and sued for divorce on the
grounds of neglect and ill-treatment, with
the results As above stated"
