wnxH DOCTORS DISAGREE. ETC.

The doctors at Memphis are arguing
and disputing ss to whether the yellow
fever epidemic now raging in that city is
really yellow fever or not. or even an
epidemic. Some OF them stoutly main
tain that the disease is Of q sporadic
character. That IL to say. OF sponta-
psous generation. and not a genuine
eontaeion. This may all be very true,

same. Moreover il q sporadic disease

Balloonlnp and Reporting.
Detroit Free Prsss.

Sometimes . reporter goes up In q bal.
loon with an aeronaut. 1t would seem
at first sight that this balloon man had
the reporter completely ct his mercy,
but such il not the case. He laughs
best who laughs last. and the reporter
has the writing up Of the aerial voyage.
Recently q balloon ascension vas made
near Montreal. and Q reporter OF the
New York Herald went up. The account
Of the trip shows oo~nclusively that It
was one OF the most terrible on record.
But the mind Of the reader turns with
pleasure from the harrow Of the situa-
ton to admire the wonderful bravery Of
this daring reporter. The balloon would
swoop down on forests, then bound TO
the skies. or nearly there; then dip into
o lake, then turn . double somersault
without touching the ground; In fact, 1t
acted in O most outrageous and undigni-
fed way. The balloonist was pale a.
ashes; his teeth chartered and his knees
knocked together. But the reporter,
oh, where was he? With 0 calm smile
at danger, and q look OF unrufled seren.
ity on his marble brow. he gave his
order in the same quiet tone he would
have used in ordering . beefsteak rare ct
a penny restaurant. The trembling bal
loonist was bid to lull his fsars. The
reporter mildly informed him that the
next thing 10 do was to get down out OF
this and ordered him to throw out more
ballast. The b~allooonist was 20 utterly
p~rostrated by fear that instead OF doing
this he opened the valve and the balloon
started down. The balloon struck . for.
cot and tore great oaks up by the roots
and left Q track Of fallen trees In its
wake. The reporter desiring to stop
this wholesale destruction OF valuable
timber climbed on the netting, kicked
open the valve and brought up the
FESTIVE balloon against . barn. Having
saved the life Of the seronaut several
times hs completed his good work BY
carryin the fainting man Into . farm
house and there rssuscitating him.
When you lot Q New York reporter tell
his own story you will find him the
bravest, most daring hero on record.

Saturdays SkiT Race.

The skin racers of Wilmington in
dulged in q spirited little race OIL
Saturday on the Delaware, though the
time on account OF the want of a breeze
was rather inauspicious in consequence
of which the progress of the boats was
rather slow. The following boats took
part in the race Columbia, owned by
James Conwell; Little Henry, by Gar.
rison Brothers Mary Greer, Ivy Egbert
Nutter; Wade hampton, by VIM. Bare
ford ; Hannah Brown, " William Allen;
A. }. Cross and Henrietta, by A. J.
Cross Edith, by Mr.. Connell.
The route laid out was about rs
miles in length and extended from the
mouth of the Christiana Creek, around
the buoy at Roach's ship yard, Chester,
and return.
The skiffs left the starting place
about IL O'Clock and the time occupied
in the race was about four hours. AT
the start the A. j. Cross took the lead
and kept it as far up as Dupont's Pier
at which point the Columbia and Mary
Greer passed her. The Columbia how
ever kept the lead coming in a few
minutes ahead of the Mary Greer and
eleven ahead of the A. J. Cross. Cap
tain Barker sailed the victorious boat,
and took two thirds of the entrance
money, the Greer taking the other
third and the Cross the tin cup. Anoth
er race it is said is to be run in about four
weeks. The Hampton bad her sail
torn and the Henrietta her bowsprit
broken by collision opposite Penns-
grove.
