honor, formed of one company of the
first battalion of the twcnty-third Fus-
iliers, of Waterloo fame. The troops
then formed again and marched TO ChIsel-
hurst. A halt was here made, near the
north entrance of Camden Place, where

not, and probably will not soon be known.
All that is known, is that when she came
from the room, she was calm, and all
signs of violent grief, if there was any,
had disappeared.

From the National Board of Health.
The executive committee of the ma
| tiOnal board of health invites the atten-
| ton of all the states, municipal authori-
| ties and sanitary organizations, to the
fact that they should, without delay, en-
deavor to secure the best sanitary cOndi-
| ton of the places and people under their
! charge. Whatever opinions may be held
as to the causes of yellow fever, and of

Tennessee and Mississippi, it is to act as
if it were disease due to a specific or
particular cause, which is capable of
growth and reproduction, transpOrtable,
and may be destroyed by exposure to
temperature above $50 degrees, Fahren-
heat, or by chemical disinfectants of suf-
Efficient strength, if brought into imme-
diate contact. 1t is also prudent to as
sumo that its growth and reproduction
are connected with the presence of filth,
in the sanitary sense of that word, in
GLIDING decaying organic matter and de-
| fective ventilation, as well as of high
temperature. The cause of yellow fever,
it will be observed, should be consider
ed as due to causes surviving from last
years experience, and not from recent
| importation from other countries. 1t
follows that there is probability of the
| appearance of other cases visited by the
epidemic of last year, and that there is
danger of the spread of the disease to the
north and east. The object of the pres
| ent circular is to advise that all cities
towns and villages be atonce made clean,
in n sanitary point of view. This is the
first step. Towards securing cleanliness
Is to obtain reliable information as to
what parts of place are clean and what
foul. The results of sanitary inspection
| of almost any city or town will show
the existence of collections of decayed
and offensive matter, previously un-
known, and which every one will admit
should be promptly removed and de-
strOyed. Such inspection, to be of value
must be thorough, and made by persons
competent to recognize the foul soils,
water and air, as well as the grosser and
more palpable forms of nuisances They
should also be made by persons who
would report fully and frankly the re-
suits of their observations without refer
ence TO the wishes of persons or corpora
tiOns. When the Whereabouts and OK
tent of evil is known, the remedy is
necessarily almost selfevident. The ma
tiOnal board of health will furnish on re-
quest blank forms as guides for such in
spectiOn.
COlOradO's Railroad Middle
DENVER COL, July 14.-In the FEEDER
al court this morning, justice Miller, aft
er reviewing the motion for dismissal of
the receiver in charge of the Rio Grande
railway property, stated in brief that it
was done by Meyers conclusion with
the ID. 81 II. G. Co. to prevent the resti-
tuition OF the property to the Atchison,
Topeka * Santa Fe company, and as a
, mere suhirriuge, there being no evidence
to show that that road was insolvent, or
any good reason for the appointment of
receiver. lie therefore dismissed the
receiver, and ordered him to restore the
property at once to the parties from
whom he received it, and make a full
account of all moneys received and all
transactions under his management

prior right to the Rio Grande company,
