The executive committee of the national
board of health has issued a circular to state
and municipal authorities calling attention
to the recent appearance of4yellow fever in
the south and urging that towns and cities
give immediate action to their sanitary con-
dition. The,oommittee says:
Whatever opinions may be held as to the
causes Of yellow fever and of the recent ap.
pearAnce Of that disease in Tennessee and
Mississippi, it is best TO act as if it were a
disease due to a specific particular cause
which is capable Of growth and reproduce
ton, and may be destroyed by exposure to
Temperatures above 240 degrees Fahrenheit,
or by chemical disinfectants of sufficient
strength, if brought into immediate contact.
1t is also prudent to assume that the growth
and reproduction of this cause are connected
with the presence of filth in the sanitary
sense of that word, including decaying or
ganic matter and defective ventilation, as
we'll as of high temperature,
In the judgment of this committee there
is a liability that the fever may show itself
at places where it existed last year, and that
it may spread to the east and north. Alb.
solute cleanliness is a safeguard against con.
tagion, and municipal authorities who neg.
lect the precaution in the. face Of : warning
from such competent authority as this are
themselves culpable in the highest degree
The committee says, with much truth, tina
the results of careful sanitary inspection o
almost any CITY or town will show the ex
'istence Of a collection Of d~ecaying and often
ssive matters previously unknown and which
every one will admit should be prompt.

A CoMxos MIsrAKE-ft Is mistake TO
suppose that little can be accomplished if
man has reached the age of thirty years.
Nine tenths of our clever men have actu-
ally exhibited more vigor of intellect at FIFTY
than at forty. Franklin was forty when he
began, in real earnest, tho study of Natural
Philosophy. The principal of one of the most
dourishing colleges in America was farm ser
want until past the age when most students
have completed their collegiate education.
Sir Henry Spelman did not begin the study
of science until he was between fifty and sixty
years of age. Greek was the FIRST foreign Ian
guage which Cato, the celebrated Roman cen
sor, acquired, and he did 80 in his old age.
Alferi, whose writings have caused revo-
luton in the dramatic literature of Italy, was
left without father Ia his infancy, and he
wasted his early years. John Ogilby, the au
thor of poetical translations from Virgil and
Homer, began the study of Latin when about
forty years of age, and Greek in his forty
fourth. Boccscio, one of the most llustrions
writer's that ever appeared i'll Italy, suffered
nearly half his life to pass without improve
msnt. Handel was forty eight before he pub
lished any of his great works. DR.. Arnold,
of Rugby learned German at forty, in order
to read Nletuhr in the original.

INDUCEMENTS TO SETTLERS. in the L. S.
Circuit Court in San Francisco, a decision has
been rendered against Perrepoat Orion ct al =,
settlers upon lands in Tulare and Fresno coun-
ties. The suit was brought by the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, owned by Leland
Stanford. D. o. Mills and others, to eject
settlers from land for which they had paid cash
and held in peaceful possession for years
The case was q test one, involving the rights
of several hundred settlers in the two counties
and now under this decision those men who
have developed the lands, and honestly
acquired possession of them, must leave the
scenes of their abors ust as they are about
to reap the fruits of their industry, that the
Southern Pacific Il abroad Company may
step in and take possession This monstrous
outrage is worse than the expressions now
being heaped upon the Irish tenants by the
British landlords and should be similarly
remedied.

AT rHE WRoNG END.-Th San Francsc q
Stock Report prints a joke culled from the
evening Chronicle in a most peculiar fashion.
BY some oversight such as frequently occur in
a hurried making Up of type in forms, the
paragraph which contains the point of the
joke is placed at the top. This is not the
usual method of giving jokes to the public,
yet it has its advantages. Instead of wading
through long yarn to find laugh at the end,
the reader la confronted with the point at the
start, after which he can decide whether or
not he will read the balance of the article.
Some newspapers print items of this kind
which have the joke neither at the top or
bottom. The Chronicle, we are glad to say, is
not of this class.

THE SLAVISH SHARON.

Senator Sharon on his way east has been
iatervoiwe in most of the leading cities by
representatives of the press On all occasions
he pipes his thin lay for Grant, and attempts
to convey the impression that he carries the
political influence of the coast in his vest
pocket Ever since Grant landed on the shore
of his native Republic, after protracted tour
abroad, Sharon has been posturing before him
like a mincing monkey, dancing to the mu
ale Of a hand organ. Sharon looks hopefully
forward to the time when Grant will again
stand at the head of the Government, and Sc
riously expects large political rewards for the
services which he now thinks he is rendering
toward helping Grant to nomination. Sharon
bears the same relation to Grant, As All HI,
his Chinese factotum, bears to Sharon his
senatorial master. Ever since the landing Of
Grant in San Francisco, Sharon has grovele d
in the dust at his feet, and the repeated snubs
which he has received from him, openly and
n public, would have caused man of ordi
nary self respect to have retired from the
scenes of repeated rebuffs and unsuccessful
todysm. Sharon has been considered proud
man, but he is not. 1t is tho vulgar pride of
purse and not the honest self respect of man
hood that animates his doings and the purse
proud men is in certain situations the hum
bIest and most groyellng of human creatures.
Sharon is now in position which grows more
aud more pitiful every day. He started out
20 appear as a sort Of hacker to Grant and he
must keep up the role to the end. The 80,
coo feast at Belmont was his first step into
the abyss. He was present at the Palace ban
quet when Grant publicly snubbed him in
speech. But Sharon would not down. The
Ell President repeated his pointed illusions
70 the Nevada Senator, when he spoke from
the balcony of the Savage o4Goe, and Sharon
following him in speech, eulogized him
again. A whining cur licking the heels of a
lion. He is now in Washington to once more
make his saasms at the feet of greatness, with
ths expectation that the humble pie which he
nov so ravenonsly devoars and the crumbs
which he ticks from the carpet will some day
be replaced with the smoking viands of the
masters table. Never was man more mis
taken than Sharon is to-day. Grant, with
his keen insight into human acts and motives,
Mas long ago read this shallow minded tody as

time, wiieu a quarrel was started up.
Perkison drew a knife and Lougley hit
him with a chair. pcrkison then run
out of the house and throwod hi: open
knife at Longlcy, then began to throw
rocks in the house. Longley thgp got
his pistol and shot three times at Perki-
