YELLOW FEVER AT MEMPHIS.

Reports from Memphis are somewhat
sisrtlins. One case Of yellow fever on We'd
nesday. Five on yesterday and one death.
II the pestiIence continues 10 spresd at this
rate, the matter will assume serious proper
lions. Last year the first care OF yellow lev.
er in Memphis-oriRnating 10 the ciiy-was
announced on the l4,h Of August The Eext
day twenty-five new cases were announced,
and on the 10th thirty-lhree new cases sp-
peared. This was q more rapid march Of
pes,ilence than is reported this year. At New
Orleans Il had appeared 10 May. and as-
sumeJ an epidemic from in the latter part Of
July. Il is generally held that yellow fever
lie disease Of the tropics and occurs during
July, August and September. New Orleans,
from 1917 TO 1858, had fourteen epidemics,
commencing in July. Philadelphia has had
seven epidemics, commencing in the same
month. New York has bad two and Boston
two. Philadelphis has had three, commenc-
ing in August; Charleston, Elk; New York,
two, and Providence. Rhode Island, two. II
is generally understood thai yellow fever
never spreads where the thermometer stands
at less than eeveniy-two degrees, Fahrenheit.

iy-nine degrees during the summer. II is
the opinion Of those who have made q close
study Of the subject that yellow fever is no,
disease personally contagious; that its iniec-
tious properties are only communicable in
q foul or infectious atmosphere; that II,
foul vessel or individual with the disease
will only propagate 1t under atmospheric
and local conditions similar TO that which

specified. II lie generally believed that the
fever does not originate in this country. The
fact that it has prevailed most generally at

"A Victim of Great Persecutions

The biggest lie we have met with
In regard to the condition of affairs
is to be found in the Philadclphi
Press of Friday last. 1t is an &C
count OF the "rough experience of a
Pennsylvanian in North Carolina.
One j. Otto Thilon, who, according
to his account, was in the employ
of Colonel Thomas M. Holt, at
Haw River, represents himself as
the victim of great persecutio ns.-
He says he has been a Democrat,
but he became SO thoroughly dis
gusted with the ignorance and os-
tracism of North Carolinians that
henceforth he is Stalwart. AS a
specimen lie we give ono extract.
which shows j. Otta to be a most
unconscionable slanderer and falsi-
fer, as to two thousand RepubIi-
cans in Wilmington can bear testi-
mony. Hear this champion liar:
"His description of the condition
of affairs in North Carolina is per
1ectly astounding. He says that he
travelled the State over and found
only four Republicans who had the
courage to express their political con-
viction, and says that at every poll
ing place the Democratic bulldozers
displayed revolvers and used them
freely on those who manifested any
disposition to vote any ticket other
than the Democratic. The whole
thing was surprise to him, as when
he bad been up North lie had always
attributed the stories of 'soutragcs''
in the South as being the campaign
thunder of Republican politicians
desirous of firing the Northern heart,
but he found during the stay in North
Carolina that the Republican politi-
clans here do hot know one-half Of
what is going on in the South.''

The Jews Ian Palestine.
From The New York Observer.

The land of their promised in~
heritance is rapidly becoming their
own In fee. If we compare the pre-
sent time with eighty-three wears
ago, when the Sublime Porte per
mitted only 300 to live within the
walls of the Holy City, the change
is remarkable: Forty years since
the Porte modified this original or
der so that larger number could
abide there; but they were shut up
In narrow end filthy quarters. next
to the dog and leper quarters, the
objects of contempt and cruel op-
pressions. But even this quarter
restriction was removed ten years
ago. And now the ruling power is
in the haud of Great Britain, and
the sceptre itself is in the hand Of
an Israelite, and Baron Rothschild
holds mortgage on Palestine as
security for 2OO,OO0,OOO francs
loaned to the Sultan of Turkey. It
looks very much as if accomplish
ed facts had put itself in the place
OF prophecy.
The Jews, after the quarter re-
strlc'lons were removed, bought all
the laud which could be obtained
within the gates, and have Quilt en-.
tire streets of houses without the
gates. With the improvements in
evitable from liberty and the pos>
session of homes have come kind
red progressions in provisions of
charity for the destitute and affiict
ed. The German Jews have six
teen of these. Two journals have
started, and in the Rothschild and
other Jewish hospitals 5000 pa
tlents are under constant treatment
The Venetian Jews have given so
200 francs to found a school of ag-
rlculture; and. in evidence of q pro.
gress that shows divine care and
intervention. the number of Jews
has doubled in about ten years. In

Military Strength of Parioas Cont
mental Countries.

Vienna Correspondence of the London stand.rd.l
The recent newspaper war be-
tween Germany and Russia having
gwen rise 10 many speculations
concerning the offensive and de-
fensive power Of several European
States, some particulars respecting
various armies which have been
furnished to me by good authority
may be read with interest at this
moment. To begin with Germany,
the reorganization of that army
was fnEly carried out in 1866, since
which time the annual recruiting
has produced 1,3Oo,O 600 men,
After making due deduction for
dead, sick ETC., the strength of tie
German Army may now be fairly
put at 1,25o,000 men of the Line,
and the reserves and the First
Landwehr, Of whom are thoroughly
drilled and ready to enter the field
at any moment. These men are of
various ages, from 20 to, 90 years.
Besides these, the German Govern
ment can call ont the Second
Landwehr and the Landsturm,
which including all the drilled
soldiers from 80 to so years of age.
These would, after making due de-
dnction, number 100000 men,
All these 2,550,00O soldiers can be
marched Ill twenty-four hours after
their being called out, as all tho
Quar.ermastcr's arrangements are
made in time OF peace to enable
this to be done. From this total
must be deducted 100000 tor the
fortresses, 100000 tor the coasts
and against Denmark, and 100000
for depots SO that 100000 men
arc available for real warfare, and
the last of whom would only re-
quire a fortnight at tho most to be
on the frontiers. The border forti--
tlcations on the French side are
completely finished and are fully
armed. They are furnished with
largo stores OF provisins, and CON-
mnnicate with the interior of the
country by means of good railways.
France has, Of course, good fortress
ses on the German frontier. and
they arc strengthened by smaller
barracading forts, but, in addition
to the fact that will not be com
pleted and in thorough working
order before 1850. Germany has
the advantage of q convex frontier
which would facilitate concentric
attacks, sncl as are regarded by
authorities as the most suc-
;essful. The strength on the French
army is, on paper, 100000 men,
but Sir Garnet Wolseley, as we'll as
other authorities, calculates it at
only about 100000, among whom
IRE moro than 100000 undri!led
men. Besides this, the state of tho
territorial army and tho Gerde Mo.
oile is SO donbtfnl that Franco is
to have ready for tho
of a war hot moro than
900, 900, OF whom 100000 must

action. Russia's force, although
given on paper at 100000 mon,
as was explained at tho
beginning Of tho recent dispute,
exceed 400, 200 men on the German
ronticr.

For moment after the report Of the
gun had died away upon the air there was
a dead silence; but as the smoke arose
from the surface Of the water, there was
at first low murmur breaking from the
lips of the men-that murmur grew
louder and stronger, until it swelled to a
joyous, deafening shout. The old gunner
sprang to his feet and gazed out upon the
water, and the first thing that met his

floating with his belly up-a mangled

Health Hints.

A. writer in the Fu1m Journal cures
dyspepsia by swallow or two Of vine
gar after each meal.
Three cures for sore throat are recon-
mended by New York paper, as tol-
lows: ~ Gargle the throat with solu-
ton Of salt and water. (2) Gargle throat
with chloride of potash and water. (3)
Keep small lump OF gum camphor in
the mouth and swallow the saliva; do the
same with chlorate of potash.
There is no simpler or better remedy
for frost bites than the following: Ex-
tract the frost by the application of ice
water till the frozen part is pliable,
a, ding all artificial heat; then apply a
salve made of equal parts of hogs lard
and gunpowder, rubbed together until it
forms a paste, and very soon the frozen
parts will be well.-Scientiic american.

Effects of Perfume ON Health.

We learn that an Italian professor has
recently made some very agreeable medi-
cinal researches resulting in the discov-
cry that vegetable perfumes exercise a
positively healthy influence on the at
mosphere, converting its oxygen into
ozone, and thus increasing its oxidizing
influence. The essences found to develop
the largest quantity of ozone are those Of
cherry. laurel, clover, lavender, mint,
juniper, lemon, fennel and bergamot: !:
that give it in smaller quantity are anise,
nutmeg and thyme. The flowers Of the
narcissus, cyancinth, migonette, hello
trope and lily of the valley develop ozone
in closed vessels. Flowers destitute of
perfume do not develop it, and those
which have but slight perfume develop it
in small quantities. Reasoning from
these facts the professor recommends the
cultivation Of flowers in marshy dis
trlcts, and in all places infested with ami
NAL emanations, on account OF the pow
erful oxidizing influence of ozone.

Little dark rootlets among.

The earth with that soet-rushing sound.
