The Blandville Index, new publica-
ton, gives place in its issue Of the Gath
instant, to the following extraordinary par.
agraph: "Yellow fever has rapidly devel-
oped in Memphis, from few sporadic
cases to an alarming extent. In our neigh
boring village of Cairo, we learn, that it
has broken out with fearful malignancy."
If there was any purpose, in the publ
cation of such an unwarranted paragraph
aside from desire to rob Cairo of its
Blandville and Ballard county business,
and to confne the business to Biandville
houses or drive it to Paducah, we are at q
loss in searching forit The assertion, al
though given without qualification, Is utter
ly and wholly foundationless. There has
not only NOT been case of yellow fever in
Cairo, this year; but there has not been a
case Of sickness that any Of our alarmists
would take the responsibility of calling
suspicious" We assure our Kentucky
friends that they can visit Cairo with as
perfect safety as they can enjoy at home.
- All other sounds and noises combined
are not half as offensive to Cairo ears as the
brain-piercing shrieks of our land and river
whistles. This being undeniably true it is
with no ordinary satisfaction that we re-
ceive the assurance from Judge Zane, of the
Springfield Circuit Court-a jurist OF much
reputation-that man needn't suffer the
annoyance. if he feels inclined to escape it.
He can put quictus on every whistle that
disturbs his quiet or the equanimity of his
temper. The Mt. Vernon News has it that
Judge Zane recently granted an injunction
restricting one James C. Conkling from
sounding whistle in his hominy
mil, upon petition filed
by DR.. Thomas w. Dresser, whose residence
property adjoins the mill. The prayer of
complainant was long, setting forth his
grievances and the answer by respondent
was also Of considerable length. The opin-
ion of Judge Zane is full, comprehensive
and able. He holds that a mans house is
not merely shelter from wind and rain,
but retreat for quiet ease and repose
which none have a lawful right to disturb
or interfere with
The disinfecting carts were abroad,
yesterday, and called out an expression of
thanksgiving everywhere. Coal tar, with
directions to use it freely, where needed, is
now the great sanitary want Of the city.

we'll as TO fence out. It is too late, now,
and too hot, to dig him up and cart him
out. He must be stihed in his bed by the
fumes of coal tar and quick lime. And now
that this good work has been commenced,
let it be given thoroughness. Let it ex-
tend to places unseen as well as those that
are often seen. There are houses in the
city, business houses as we'll as residences,
that cover foul cess-pools, mould, filth and
damp, that breed sickness every summer,
and may be counted upon to act as swift
agents of Obstruction, if the epidemic should
chance to gain foot-hold among us. Let
such Of these places as are accessible be
disnfected. But, now that the raid upon
