The Next French President.

The Paris correspondent Of the EUe1a-
ing Post writes: "The clever conserva-
tives are pushing General Chanzy for
ward as candidate for the presidency
in 1880. The General is q man Of mark,
and is a republican and q soldier at
once, but is profoundly attached to
many principles which the mass of re-
politicians in this country would not &C
cept. The "anything-to-beat Gambetta"
people would vastly like to see him
elected. But Gambetta will be the man
unless all the tokens fail. Just now he
is taking his summer vacation, and the
fruits Of his leisure will be an autumn
campaign which will bring him more
conspicuously than ever before the
public. By certain remarks dropped In
the speeches Of Jules Simon and others
at the dedication Of the monument to
the memory of Paul Louis Conner at
Vieretz the other day, it is easy to see
that prominent republicans feel conf
dent Of the results Of the next sena-
torial elections. If those are decided
Ia favor of the republic, the last hope
of the monarchical factions will van
ish, and being prince will be but an
idle vocation, an by no means q profit
able one. -+

IT. Is related of the late Battle PeVtOO.

It is related of the late Bailie Peyton,
of Tennessee, that he was d great adj
mirer and friend Of Sergeant S. Prem
tiss, the gifted New Highlander who
went South and gained such reputa-
ton for oratory. At a wing mass-meet-
ing in Nashville in 1914, Prentiss made
an unusually brilliant speech, and, not
being very we'll tainted from exhaus-
ton at the close. Peyton, believing
that such a speech had never been de-
livered before, was extremely enthusi-
astic, and, bending over the orators
unconscious figure, exclaimed, "Don't
come to, Prentiss. Now is your time
to die; for this is the completion and
elimination of your fame" Prentiss
did not follow the advice. He lived six
years after that, and died at Al, having
achieved the fame Of one Of the most
eminent Of American orators. Many
of his admirers regarded him as supe-
rior to Henry Clay.-NeaO York Times.

How Long Will the Fever Last.
Memphis Appeal Aug. 81


Two physicians of experience, inter-
viewed yesterday, gave it as their opin-
ion that the disease, while it might he
confined to a few cases, would spread in
q northeasterly direction so long as 1t
could find food, and that we might as
we'll make up our minds to bear with
the pest until the first black frost. The
American Encyclopedia" says, on the
contrary, that the limit of the life of
yellow fever is within sixty days, frost
or no frost, but that frost will kill it.
This statement seems to be borne out
by the experience of both Cuba and
Rio de Janeiro. In the former, in the
months Of December and January, 600
and min. is the mean thermometrical
average, and III summer it seldom rises
above $50 or $50 and it's depression in
winter as low as 500 to $50 min. is
rare At 49, we usually have here, in
Memphis, q slight frost; but for kill
Ing black frost we have to wait for a de-
cline to 32o, which sometimes, with Us,
does not come until late in December.
In Rio JaneirO the ~ can temperature,
as observed through thirty years, was
Ioo; the. maximum in the hottest
month Decent err was 500 minimum,
zoe, mean ~790; in July (the coolest
month, maximum 100, minimum go,
mean 1852. In both Cuba and Rio
they never have frost, and yet the
vOmita (the worst and most aggravated
form of yellow fever runs its course in
both places, and ceases, for long inter
walls to be epidemic, or to occasion any
anxiety even to strangers. 1t would
seem from this that we may not have
to wait for frost especially if the vigor-
Gus disinfectant measures of the board
of health are kept up, the healthy peo-
pie still in the infected district are
promptly removed, and our sanitary
regulations are strictly enforced.

A Suit for $50. zoo.

Gen. Roger A. Pryor, Hon. John R.
Tucker, and other learned and able
counsel have been retained in suit in
volving, it is said, the tremendous sum
Of $90,OOO,0O0, as lease money, exclu-
sive Of title to fifty acres Of land in New
York city, near Broadway and Canal
streets. The New York Times says that
one Robert Edwards, in the 18th cen
fury, owned the land and leased it to
the British Crown. The lease expired
in 1871. This Edwards married Miss
Bihb. She had a sister Nancy, who
married a Virginian by the name OF
Martin Key. Edwards and his wife
died without issue, so the Virginians are
the sole legatees with the exception OF
one brother. A meeting was held last
April when an investigating and prose-
cutting committee was appointed.
Among those appointed are Rev. Law
renee Bib White, w. E. Bibb, and S.
G. Duerson, of Virginia. Similar meet
ings have also been held recently III
Kentucky and Indiana, at which SINH
lar action was taken.
