A correspondent of the Argus assumes
that for our quarantine officer to board all
boats and trains in search Of yellow fever
victims, is all right; but that to come from
those boats and trains and, without fumi-
CATION or change Of raiment to mingle with
our people oil over town, is all wrong.
There are not as many as two men in Cairo
who will disagree with that correspond
| ent.
The Paducah News ridicules the pre-
vailing'fright" in Cairo, and is of the opln-
ion that even case of fever and ague in
our midst would empty town of everybody
who could raise money enough to pay his
way out. To quote the language OF Horace
Greedy, which is more applicable to the
case in hand than it is generally poetical,
we say to the News, 'you lie, you villain,
YOU lle." "Pernicious bilious might start
us: but ague, never.
The entertainment by the X. NJ. X. c.
tomorrow evening comes very OPPORTUNITY,
we think, as it will serve 10 divert the at
tention OF our people from the gloomy fore
bodings of the past ten days. There will
be much to see, much TO amuse and enter
tain. The fireworks will be fine; good
music will be on the ground, and all need
full arrangements made for those who may
choose to join in the dance Not the least
interesting feature will be the great walk
ing match. 1t will do everybody good %
to 90 and participate.
While Charley Glass, the murderer Of
Carter Newman, was on the witness stand
testifying in his own behalf, he evidently
suffered great mental torture, especially
when detailing how he dealt the blows th,t
crushed Carter Newman's skull. At this
time lie became deeply agltated, and clap
ped his hands together continually, tie
noise probably diverting his mind som'-
what from the bloody subject about which
he was testifying. His whole appearance
was that of a man who saw, in all its horrd
actually, the bloody ghost Of his victim,
and the damning perfdy of his murderous
deed. The ghost of Newman would net
down, neither would the damned
spot of his lies blood,
"out" for Glass bidding. There was
something in the mans apparent horror Of
himselfand Of the crime he had committed
to excite pity; but not that pity that would
step in to shield him from the penalty his
heinious crime has invited.
AS the publicis anxious to be informed
of the doings OF our Board Of Health, and
as the boards themselves should feel an
| equal anxiety to have their proceedings
made public, why mag we not ask the local
board to initiate the State board, and place
the MSS. of the minutes
in our hands, Immediately after the meet.
ingsi The public unquestionab!y has a
claim in that regard that should not be ig-
nored, and as the information can be made
public without cost to the board, it seems
to us that we should not be compelled to
run all over town to chase down the orig
inal papers II order to let the public know
what the board has done looking to the pro-
lection of the city from the approach OF the
muchfeared epidemic. May we not ask
Our home board, therefore, to direct Its
clerk to put the MSS. Of its minutes in our
hands, not next day, but aMEDIATELY UPON
the adjournment of the board! This course
Will give the public information from first
hands-the source FROM which it ought to
come

The removal Of Doctor Pollock from the
position Of surgeon to the Southern Illinois
Penitentary, several days ago, was but "the
entering wedge" AS between DR.. Elkins,
the newly appointed surgeon, and DR.. Pol
lock, there can be no comparison that is not
greatly to the disadvantage of Elkins, We
are told that Pollock is infinitely the supc-
rior man, and that Elklns is not at all fitted
for the position. We know nothing person
ally of the qualifications Of either gentle
man; but from those who doiknow them
we hear nothing but expressions Of dissat
faction and disgust that the efficiency Of
that branch of our public service should be
so palpably subordinated to what few
