1t seems that yellow fever has ia.
ken hold of Memphis in dead earnest
and will not be easily driven out.
This year it was not imported as
was the case other years, but took
its start from the wearing of cloth
ing that had been worn by fever pa
tients last year. The disease seems
to be spreading and the scourged
city is panic stricken. Everybody
is leaving that can get out of the
way. Poor Memphis, how she needs
the sympathy, prayer and help of the
nation.

merely because Elias takes him to

Broken Loose.

The hopes INDUCED so generally las
week that the yellow fever cases at Mem
phis betokened no spread of the disease
during the remainder of the summer have
not been realized.
New cases made their appearance the
latter part of last week and day before
yesterday there were thirty-six cases and
nine deaths reported in Memphis. The
inhabitants fled by thousands and only
those are left who cannot get away or who
deem it their duty TO remain. Yesterday
the new cases reported were not numerous
but enough is known to make it certain
that only the greatest precautions can
prevent the Mississippi valley from being
again desolated.
Casey Young, the member of congGess
from the Memphis district, who, as we
noted last week, expected the fever would
become epidemic, has been in Washington
and has secured aid from the government
for the sufferers. He obtained from the
secretary of war 1900 tents and rations to
last 10000 people for number of days and
these have been forwarded to the stricken
city and will enable thousands of the
poorer folks to get back into the country
away from the deathly atmosphere of the
town.
The fever last year was brought to New
Orleans about the last of July. 1t did not
become prevalent in Memphis till the
second week in August. The worst time
in the latter city was the second week in
September and during that month the
deaths there numbered many hundred
each week.
The exodus is greater this year and
more prompt and by it doubtless thou
sands of lives will be saved for there will
not be many left for the fever to kill. In
this connection it may be said that the
Memphis authorities say they took all the
pains possible last winter to get the city
purified. If they did not succeed in doing
it it was from lack of executive ability or
the carelessnesss of those with whom it
dealt rather than want of effort
No doubt the action of the government
in sending supplies is unwarranted by the
strict letter of the law but like conduct
last year was sanctioned when congress
met and we presume Secretary McCrary
will be upheld next winter instead of get
ting impeached. The citizens of the
Mississippi valley do seem to take to'a spa
ternal government in their af1liction
more than in prosperity. But it is all
very natural-and it is well to err on the
side of humanity.

NATURAL ENEMIES OF THE TELEGRAPH
liable TO be interfered with by what we
may call natural causes as the electric tel
egraph. Fish gnaw and mol!usks over
weight and break the submarine conduct
ors of the subterranean wires, while here
is at least one instance of froicSome
whale entangling himself in a deep sea
cable, to its utter disorganization. 1t is
stated that within the three years ending
1878 there have been sixty serious inter-
ruptions to Geographic communication, in
Sumatra, by elephants. In one instance,
these sagacious animals, most likely fear
ing snares, destroyed considerable por-
tion of the line, hiding away the wires
and insulators in q cane brake. Monkeys
of all tribes and sizes, too, in that favored
island, use the poles and wires as gymna-
STA. occasionally breaking and carrying off
the insulators while the numerous tigers,
bears and buffaloes on the track render
the watching and repair of the line duty
of great danger. In Australia, where
there are no wild animals to iniure the
wires, which are carried great distances
overland, they are said to be frequently
cut down by the scarcely less wild abo-
rhymes, who manufacture from them
rings, armlets and varieties of barbaric
ornament. 1t has been suggested rs II
means of protection in this case that the
posts should be constructed of iron. when
the battery could be used to astonish any
native climbing them with felonious intent.

ARE EMPTY HOUSES DANGERoUs?-This
question may be fifty asked and answered
at a season when thousands of families are
thinking about deserting their homes for a
few weeks, to enjoy themselves at the
seaside or in travel. 1t is asserted that
houses that have been shut up for time
may become breeders of disease when
they are reoccupied, and that such disor-
ders as typhoid fever and diphtheria have
occurred under these circumstances. The
cause is considered to lie in the disuse of
cisterns, pipes and drains, the putrefaction
that is engendered by the impure air in
them, the unimpeded access of this foul
air to the house, which is at all events not
interfered with by the closing of doors and
windows against the fresh air. There is,
fortunately, a very simple remedy in such
cases. On returning to town, pater fami-
lias should take care to see that the pipes
and drains are in good order, that the Gel
lars and closets are freed of rubbish, and
that the whole house is thoroughly we'll
aired before the fiat for repossesson goes
forth. Carbolic acid plentifully used in
the cellar is both cheap and valuable
dsinfec.ant. If these straightforward
precautions are observed. no personal
harm can result from the home coming of
the pleasure seekers. CaSSclCS Family

Memphis has every reason to be fright
ened at the temperance of the yellow
fever within her limits, for her experience
last year was extremely conductive to
timidily. Last year she had population
of about forty-ive thousand before the
fever came. Twenty thousand got away
within ten days to places of safety at n
distance, and five thousand went into
camp in the vicinity. Twenty thousand
were thus left in the place, of whom
fourteen thousand were negroes. Seven
teen thousand of this twenty thousand had
the fever. and upward of five thousand
died. OF the fourteen thousand negroes
who remained in the place less than II
thousand tdied, while of the six thousand
whites who remained there died more
than four thousand. The sanitary condi-
ton of the city was terrible and there was
no money to improve it. Commenting
on this Indifference to filth, the Tribune
says: "Much of this suicidal carelessness
may be explained by the fact that the
ignorant classes, rs rule, look upon all
simple measures of precaution as useless
and extravagant; the men who have
contracts for the necessary cleaning prefer
to put the money in their pockets. while
the educated classes are made Indifferent,
we fear, BY the knowledge that usually
they and their families are out of town
during the fever MONTHS

There is great deal said and written
about a "higher education for women"
Heaven knows we need it sorely, but not
exactly in the sense in which the term
is used. We need higher education of
conscience to give us truer knowledge
of our duty to the young of both sexes
we need to be taught that he or she who
works skilfully with pair of hands NAV
be as highly educated as they who work
only with a head; we need to learn com.
mon sense with regard to the occupation
by means of which women seek to earn
an honest livelihood; that when two girls
graduate from our high schools, she who
has talent for drcssmaking takes rank
equally with her who teaches Greek or
Sanscrit; that she who can be a tasteful
milliner is as truly an artist as she who
seeks fame as painter OF sculptor, though
they travel by different roads.-Bost9n

ATTEND TO THE DRAINs.-Everybody
who has not already done so, should lose
not day in looking after the drains that
carry off the refuse water and Stops from
dwelling and out houses. Where this re.
fuse is now permitted to slowly find its way
through uncovered troughs, extending only
Il few feet to form pestiferous sink.hoie
for the breeding of malarious diseases
during warm weather, or to spread over
the ground and trikle into wells and els
terms, immediate action is necessary.
The drains for Stops of all kinds when
not built under ground, which is the safest,
and in the long run most economical way,
should at least be covered and So arranged

little time and money expended now will
pay for itself many times over in the pre-
vention of all the ills attendant on poison
