The following is the weather report for
A Town Sued.

Not long since Mrs. Louisa Hovey was being
driven along the road in the town of Buxton
when the wheel of the vehicle, falling into a
hole in the road, she was thrown out and quite
severely injured, her shoulder being broken

The Electric Liz htin War,

Modern war are brings to it's aid the
wide range OF sciences, 50 that now the
business Of wholesale killing has reached
perfection it never before attained
In tn Manufacture OF the arms of pre-
cisiOr. in which the United States hold
leauing place, the most delicate ms
chinery IS employed, and in the casting
aud -orging of the huge modern artillery
advantage is taken OF the latest discovery
IN mechanics. Armies in the field now
use the electric telegraph, the telephone
the rail- sd, the traction engine, and
nearly every other modern mechanical
appliance, and warfare had been reduced
to such mathematical system that its
glory, in its best days a ghastly thing.
has weli-nigh departed. There is very
little romance about war in these times
The last proposed addition to warfare is
the electric light. Nobody at ali famil-
lar with military operations can fail tn
zee the advantage which might be secur-
ed to an army by the ability to turn
night into day. Yet it must neutrslize
itself, for if you can fl )Od broad region
with twilight so also may your enemy
thus disclose your own hiding place
Night attacks have always been of doubt
full result. The electric light promises
to change all this, and we may hereafter
see the carnage of war by night as well
as by day. Perhaps, however, the best
way would be not to fight at all, Ill the
darkness or in the daylight.

New Orleans and the yellow Fever.
vicksburg Herald


New Orleans can prove anything she
wants to prove about yellow fever
When it wss to her interest to say the
yellow-fryer never originated in this
country, her beard of health promptly
said so; and now that she is afraid of q
rigid quarantine-not such an enc as
allowed the Emily B SJuder in after
only FIVE hours detention-she is ready
to admit that the fever docs originate, in
this cOuEtTy, and to declare that it goes
hither and thither regardless of quaran-
tines. She thinks it against her inter
ests to establish national quarantine,
and she wishes to secure report fayora-
bic to her views from the yellow fever
commission. We VAIN her that she is
between Scylla and Cbsry bdis in this
matter. II the yellow fever does not
originate in this country, the people
want its importation prevented; il it
does originate in New Orleans, then the
sections Interested must quarantine that
city every summer. The people of the
southern states cannot afford to give up
the best part of the temperate zone to the
yellow fever, and New Orleans trade
interests that she is more disposed to
thrust under the nose OF the yellow fever
commission than facts about the disease,
will not stand in their way. The people
OF the south do not want New Orleans
to run the yellow fever commission. 1t
Is important that this fact be understood
in the beginning.
