HOW TO CHECK YELLOW JACK.

1t is apparent that yellow fever has mo-
respect for State lines; II cares nothing
for the resolutions OF 1898, or the prin-
ciples of the Jeffersonian Democracy; it
walks boldly across State boundaries and
takes up its abode wherever it pleases,
without any ceremony. In q word, it
assumes national rights, and to be dealt
with successfully it must be treated by
the national power. Yellow fever is on
entirely preventibe disease; II can be
prevented from appearing by proper
and vigorous sanitary system; II case
is imported, it can be prevented from
spreading its infeetion by prompt iso-
lation of the patient, the destruction of
his contaminated clothing and effects.
and the use OF the necessary disinfect-
ants. We shorsi have an epidemic Of
this pestilence in New York every year
were it not for the vigilance Of our health
officers and the strictness of our Quaran-
tine. Our immunity can be extendet to
New Orleans and all other places; but TO
do this effectually the power OF the gen.
eral Government must be invoked and
made to act with that of the local
authorities. The matter is one of ma
tional importance, for the existence OF
the pestilence interferes with trade and
seriously Injuries the general interest.
Here to-day is the whole Mississippi
Valley crammed with produce that
| should go to market, and filled with
people wishing to purchase goods from
the North; and. to great extent, trade
is stopped on account of the pestilence.
An act of Congress having universal ap.
plication could be enforced, but mere
local precautions. often delayed until il
is too late. and then spasm odically put
into operation, are of little use. 1t should
be made certain that wherever a case ol
the fever appears anywhere, the same
treatment which it receives here should
be adopted; it should be provided thai
when necessary land quarantine as vel
as the marine quarantine should be en-
forced. Now, everything is conducted
on happy-go-lucky plan; the railroads
run or do not run as they please; this
town adopts a quarantine; that one in.
vites the refugees. and the pestilence
runs riot The matter is worthy the
serious attention and the vigorous action
Of Congress.

Washington Capital: How common it
Is for pen-drivers Of a speculative mind
to get cause and effect reversed. For
example, the Mormons are said to be de-
based because of their practice of polyg-
amy. The fact is. polygamy is possible
in Utah on account of the ignorant and
debased condition OF the Mormons. And
again, we are told that polygamy utterly
debases the social life OF Turks and Per-
slams. Cotton bears witness to the en-
feebled condition of Turks rich enough
to own harems The leading market at
the preeent day for indelicate French
pictures and porcelains is among the
Mohammedsns of the East, where they
animalize the whole population. Arthur
Arnold. who travelled through Persia in
1875, reports that the indoor dress of the
Persian lady Is worse than that of the
ballet girl. and that her bodice makes
less pretepsion to be covering than
that of the Paris danseuse. Cotton does
not perceive that the French, the most
enlightened people OF civiizsd Europe.
in furnishing the pictures and porce-
lains, give proof Of greater social de-
basement than the purchasers; for the
creation calls for higher culture. And
Mr.. Arthur Arnold has only to look al
home for an indoor dress at ball fal
more indecent than that OF the ignorant
Persian lady-that is. if any costume
made custom by fashion. thereby mean
ing nothing lascivious, can be called in.

ssmbled an inverted tomb with all tht
bones above, and far more suggestive o.

In 1885, the Sacred Standard OF the
Mussulmans was unfurled at CONSTANT
nople. and in accordance with the usual
custom, proclamation was made three
days in advance that no Christian should
look upon it under pain Of death. The
Austrian Ambassador-so at least the
London Magazine of that time reported,
trusting to his immunity, bargained with
man for the occupation OF q chamber
lying on the route Of the oortege, but
subsequently obtaining one for less
money, repudiated the contract and in
suited the Turk on his venturing to COM
plain. In due course the Ambassador,
with his wife and daughters, watched by
the man they had made their enemy, took
possession OF their apartment and saw
arrived opposite the house in which they
were, a cry arose that it was profaned by
the gaze OF infdels. The soldiers broke
open the doors, knocked down the I'm.
perial Minister, plundered the ladies of
their jewels, and stripping them almost
naked. left them more dead than alive.
The sultan expressed great sympathy
with the sufferers, paid the Ambassador
large sum of money, restored to the
ladies jewels of four times the value they
had lost. and beheaded three hundred of
the soldiers concerned in tho affair, then
asked the Diplomatist il he was satisfied.
The answer was that personally be had
no further reason to complain, but that
the matter had been officially brought
under the notice OF his Government, to
whose directions he must conform.
Whatever the terms OF the dispatch,
which soon came from Vienna, they had
such an effect on the Ambassador that
his death ensued very shortly, it is sup
posed as consequence of his own act.
The ladies returned to the Austrian
Capital, whence they were ordered to re-
tire tc convent for life.

In connection with this he referred ia

bench, and denying the imputation. HI
referred particularly to the citation, BY
counsel, OF Lord Hale, and held that thu
remarks were uncalled for. He stated
that during bis occupation OF the judicia

ing entertained an unjust thought, ani
that during the brief term in which h,
would remain on the bench, be should
be guided by the same motives that hav'
heretofore inspired him. In sentencing
Prini, he stated that he should not onl,
take into consideration the recommend

gone SCOT free. The prisoner was thel

Patrick Donahos. of the Boston Pilot.

Patrick Donahos, of the Boston Pilot,
it will be remembered, failed several
years ago, owing considerable money to
his poorer fellow.countrymen, for whom
he bad imprudeutly served as savings
banks. The Pilot passed into the hands
Of Williams and John B. O'Reilly. who
voluntarily assumed the burden of this
debt. and last week declared dividend
OF ten per cent, making In all 500. 600
which they have divided among these
poor people. About the time Of this
payment Dennis Kearney, who was then
in Massachusetts, lost his temper because
MIR. O'Rielly gave him little advice in
an article which has already been pub.
llshed in this paper. Commenting upon
this ebullition Of temper. the Pilot OF
last week has the following additional
advice for Kearney: Dennis Kearney
lost bis temper last week because the
Pilot gave him little advice. That is
not right for leader. We must hear
those who differ from us--and discass
the question, not abuse the speaker. The
Pilot and all connected with it belong to
the working class just az much as Mr..
Kearney; and our interest in the welfare
of workingmen is at least as broad and
sincere as his. In his momentary anger
at our plain words he. called the pro-
prietors Of the Pilot 'bloated bond-hold-
ers' and 'hoary-headed vampires We
may be pardoned for referring Mr..
Kearney to our announcement this week
of dividend of 10 per cent. to working
people who lost their savings through
another mans failure. We do not owe
cent Of this money, but to save hun
dreds Of families from suffering we have
volunteered to pay it, and please God,
we shall keep our word. NMr. Kearney
wants to know where our bonds are, we
may tell him that this dividend will
make up $40. 900 that the proprietors Of
the Pilot have divided among poor people
in two years."

Mr.. D. e. Willard, No. 81 Capital avenue,
says that in the year 1888, on the east farm.
half mile south of the Newtown railroad
junction, he came across very large and
beautiful spotted box or hinge tortoise (so>
called from It's power to close it's upper and
under shells firmly together.) Turning 1T
upside down he inscribed on 1t his own
initials, and the date, letting him free. In
1862 he found the same fellow again half
mile west. He had crossed two bridges
or forded the streams, and three railroad
tracks. The new date was then added, the
first inscription being very distinct. he has
not seen him since until last Saturday, 18th,
when he espied him or his west farm, near
the New Biitain line, about one and ons~half
miles from the first point named, looking
as hale and hearty as ever, but not increased
in size perceptibly. He was duly marked
1878 and sent on his way with this query
