NV Visit to the Kentucky College.

To the editor of the Courier Journal: AL
though feeling deep interest In the success
of this institution from its first establishment
in Pewee Valley, had not, till few days
since, made a special visit to the college to
satisfy myself by actual inspection as to its
intrinsic merit. | must truly say that the
very best way, IN my opinion, to recommend
the Kentucky college, is to present it to the
pubic mind just as it is, In its fac
ulty, in their exceedingly accurate and
careful manner of instruction, as well as In
the character of the young ladies, the pupils
of the school, whose modesty of demeanor
and perfect gentihty, with their preparation
for the classroom, must elicit the admira-
ton of any candid visitor. | witnessed the
opening exercises of the school with the deep
est interest, for there | knew | would see its
moral and intellectual tone. A more beauti-
full picture l have never brought away upon
my heart from the chapel of any literary in
stitution. The discipline of the college is as
near perfection as have seen in my long ac-
quaintauce with schools. Parents could not
we'll ask more for their daughters than is
presented to the eye, that will carefully sur
vey the neatness and comfort of all the
chambers occupied by the young ladies'
Hearts and minds most highly endowed, ard
absorbed with a sense of the high response
biity, watch over the health, manners, and
education, moral, spiritual, and intellectual,
of the young ladies committed in trust to
them. | feel that l have but slightly ex-
pressed my Judgment of the value of the

is somewhat better than in August, 1877. In
the northern portion OF the cotton belt many
counties complain of the extreme heat and
drought. causing the plants TO shed and the
bolls to open prematurely. Farther south
the rainfall has been excessive, causing rust
in some sections. The injuries at the date of
the correspondence was inconsiderable, but
later reports to Prof. Riley, the entomologist,
show considerable local injury from this

. SUSPICIOUS CASES.

Yesterday suspicious cases are said to have
appeared on Vance street, on Main near Gay
oso, on Beale and ON Jefferson, but they were
not reported by the physicians, because the
cases had not developed any yellow-fever
symptoms, and may not.
The fever, so far as it has appeared, is of
virulent type, difficult to control 10y medical
treatment. The physicians differ somewhat
as to its treatment and type. Several ply
slcians are of the opinion that all cases of
bilious, malarial and copgestive fevers are but
types of yellow fever, while others draw a
clear distinction between such fevers and yell
low-fever; but this is field or province of
the doctors, In which our reporter does not
desire 10 trespass or intrude.
A SuggestiOn-FireC Cannon and AnEIis.
WYTHE, August 8.-We learn in the
country that the scourge is ely upon your
city, and you have our dec sYmpathies
Rather than pass through wha. did be-
fore, It is worth while to try any <periment
and resort to any expedient that offers any
hope OF relief. Some two or three years ago
an intelligent lady advanced a theory that
aroused much interest among medical men
at the time. that seems to have been forgot
ten. She took the position that it is caused
by animal growth In the atmosphere, and, if
so. must be of exceedingly delicate organiza-
ton, and easily destroyed. She argued that
these animdlcutos, or whatever they may be-
are bred during the still hours of the night,
from one to three or four clock, and might
be destroyed by powerful conclusions of air
produced by firing large guns. Now would
it not be easy for your city to try the expert
ment? The expense of few pounds of
powder and the trouble of firing cannon and
anvils are small matters, if, by that means,
you could curtail the terrible scourge Again,
the less material it has to work upon, the
sooner it must run its course. Could you not
almost evacuate the city? Would it not be
possible to make arrangements for camping
in the country the poorer class and all who
are unable to go off to a distance? In time
OF war a hundred thousand are often COM
fortably camped in short time Or could
you not establish night camps, so that the
majority of men, at least, could go out at
night, and attend to business In daytime?
These crude hints are hastily thrown out,
hoping they may suggest some relief. R.
