YELLow-FEvER.LDr. j. c. MINOR, health
officer Of Cincinnati, interviewed by a re-
porter day or two ago, said much that sug-
gested apprehension, Hesaid that the seeds
Of yellow.fever are lingering about, and may
break out where least expected. He stated
that houses in Memphis and other southern
cities that had been occupied, by yellow
fever. patients had been closed ever since
winter commenced, and thus the winter
winds and frosts had been excluded and
could not destroy the seeds Of the disease
which might have remained. after yellow
fever ceased. He believed ii possible for
yellow-fever 20 become epidemic In Cincin-
natl. That, indeed, may be true; but GER
tainly DR.. MINOR. il, taking time BY the
foreloeks The alarm d ia tinely, las "a bill
providing 0 fora yellowsfeyer board and
quarantine is pending before CONGRESS,
II the Federal Government is required to
make appointments. OF a learned board to
talk about gellew-iever, DR.. MINOR seems
to talk iikecne skilled in diagnosis What
Congress may remains to be seen; but We
are decided ih the opinion That four-ftths
of that body know nothing, about yellow.
fever, and are unquali6edto legislate about

Of knowledge Of the diseaseto proyideEt the
ways Of avoidance or cure OF It. Yellow
fever is amongst the most insldious Of mala.
dies. The Cincinnati doctor is driving at
random. ,iWemay. have nothing OF it next
year, and when it does come it steals in so
strangely that 1t is seldom that anybody
knows where it came from and how. III

The Ways Of Trade.

When young Hyson, who is a COM
mission merchant and an importer,
came home to dinner one evening last
week, he found Mrs. Hyson just parting
with a caller and describing some
"lovely" Chinese lanterns she had
bought at Veneer's, on Washington
street.
Hyson's face grew dark as the nara
tive proceeded, and when the door
closed upon the visitor he turned to
Mrs. b. with lowering brow and asked,
"What have you been fooling money
away on at Veneer's?"
"Don't be such bear, Harry" said
Mrs: r., "I only bought dozen OF
these lovely lanterns, nice for ornaments
and pretty to use in the country next
summer, and they were only 81 each;
did you ever see anything like them
before?"
"see 'em!" groaned Hyson; "they
sent me 1000 of 'em in the Mandarin,
and have only sold one lot, and that
was 100 to Veneer for S15." Tears and

How Sugar Barrels Are Made.

An interviewer hailing from the Jer-
sey City Journal, of inquiring mind,
paid a flying visit to the top. door of
Neil ODonnell's cooperage, and was
shown some of the mysteries connected
with the manufacture of sugar barrels.
In the first stage, the Hishman's recipe
for making cannon will do for sugar
barrel, slightly altered: First, make
hole and put your slaves aroundji it. The
operative does this by holding stout
wooden hoop in one hand, and placing
the slaves in position with the ether
very quickly, too, as the work is done
by the piece. The embryo barrel is
next caught in the blight of astout rope,
made fast on one endto clsat, and the
other running over an iron, pulley and
attached to treadle. By pressing the
treadle with the weight of the opera
Eve, the line is drawn tsut, aad the
strong purchase thus effected congresses
the slaves to the requisite degree Of
tightness. The barrel is now placed in
10 huge fireplace which resembles
blast furnace, and is baked for few
minutes, when it is removed, the tops
and bottoms are planed, the inside
edges beveled for the "heads," which
are quickly "put on" few finishing
touches given to the hoops and the bar
rel is made. A good workman can
make forty barrels a day, and in brisk
seasons about 5000 receptaeles for that
saccharine substance composed of bone
dust, sand and sugar are turned out.
The slaves arr shipped to the cooper
age from Michigan, where they are
made into the required shape from elm
logs by q machine Jersey City Jour-

Chinese Schools.

The remarkable example of the &C.
centricity of the Chinese turn of mind
is noticeable in their scho OILS, where, in
stead of silence being inculcated, as
might naturally be considered so essen
tial, every child is expected to bawl out
the lesson that he is committing to
memory at the top of his voice; and the
babel which is the result may be more
easily imagined than described. When
a Chinese boy goes up to repeat his
lesson, he does not stand facing his tu-
tor, but turns his back upon him, and
hence repeating a lesson goes by the
familiar name of backing" it. This
method Of recitation has an excellent
effect in keeping the boy on the qui
vive to avoid mistakes, for no sooner
does he commit one than he is called to
recollection by smart tap on the close
ly-shaven pate, from the metal of long
tobacco-pipe which every pedagogue
carries about him.
