There seems 70 be . good deal Of an
certainty about the future moven
Of the individual whose name appears
at tho head OF this article. A few dayn
ago il was announced that he Was COM
ing to the United States very soon, and
that extensive preparations were being
made to give him series Of grand re-
eeptions at tho principal eastern cities.
II was also said that the Marquis OF
Lorne and the Princess Louisa were TO
be invited. and it was added that il Was
confidently expected that they would be
present. But it seems that tho General
perhaps not being fully aware of all the
honors that were intendOd to DO show
cred upon him, has embraced the op-
portuni;y which has offered OF making
voyage to British India and China, as
a deadhead in government war vessel,
which has been kindly placed at his
disposal for that purpose by the Secre-
tary OF War. or course i: is repre-
sented that this particular vessel was
about to make the voyage in question
for the purpose Of looking after the in
terests of the United States, but it will
most certainly be the case that during
the voyage, those interests will be

can perform not more than twenty. -four

Cause. Of yellow Fever.

Tho December number Of tAS Popular
Science Monthly, contains an article
headed Fever Factories, by F. L. Oswald,
II. D., in which II il stated that the
vital and material losses Of the Southern
States by the Yellow Fever during the
last year. would equal those occasioned
to the country by the Mexican War.
The theory advanced by this writer Is
that the causes of the disease are moro
objective than subjective; that is that
the spread OF the disease and it's viru-
ience depends more upon the sanitary
condition Of the people themselves. and
their dietetic habits than upon the sani.
tary condition of the locality where the
disease occurs.
Now, although this is a point to which
very little reference has hitherto been
made by writers on the subject, and
almost the entire attention Of persons
who have investigated it is bestowed on
tho matter OF qunrruntining the dis
ease out of the country, the writer OF
this article shows pretty conclusively
by facts and arguments that the posi-
ton he takes is the correct one. 1t is a
well known fact that the liability Of a
person to take the smallpox or to have
the disease in IA severe form depends
upon the condition of the system, aud
that the persons who are in the habit
Of using tue most nourishing and slim
ulHting diet. although they may have
every appearance OF tho most robust
health, are the persons who are most
liable to take the disease and are the
ones who have il in its severest form,
1t appears that yellow fever in this
respect acts in exactly the SANG way
that small pox does, and it should be
impressed upon the people who live in
localities where the disease is liable TO
be introduced, that unless they shall
accustom themselves to the use OF a
more vegetable diet and get tho general
health Of the people into better con-
dition to resist the disease, that not
vithstanding all the quarantine pre-
cautions that can be taken, the country
will bo liable to repetition Of the
horrors which it has suffered during
the last season.
