ISOLATION IN YELLOW EE-
YER.
a Notable Instance of its Effica-

Rev. DR.. G. X. Marshall, of Vicks-
burg, wel-known Southern divine
and Mr.. Edwin Booth, a member of
the Louisiana Board Of Health, were
conyersiNg day or two age relative
to the importance of isolation in eases
of infectious and contagious diseases,
when DIR. Marshall advanced some ar
guments in favor of isolation, instanc-
ing,a notable case during the late cpl
demic of yellow fever at Vicksburg.
Four miles from Vicksbarg, in a
southeasterly direction, is a very Spa
cious mansion, erected some years ago
by Col. Latham, of Madison county.
Capt. A. Anter, of Vicksburg,; rem
ted that building and grounds for a
retreat from yell0w fever. Hecirried,
with him forty-three whites and FIVE
colored persons. He laid in ample
stores for a long imprisonment. On
the day he entered the place, like the
heroic old river commander he was,
he took supreme command, and laid
down and published the quarantine
laws. They we're simple and easily
understood, and, besides, nobody
doubted but they would be executed
to the letter and on the spot, although
he might have to strike where it
wounded himself. The first article of
his code was about as follows: "NO
human being shall enter these premi.
ses until the Board of Health in Nicks-
burg says 1t IS safe for us to return
home" The next thing was in the
same spirit: "Should any person Vi
olate said order, Betsy, a superior
double barrelled shot gun, is fully au-
thorized iii my hands TO execute a
death warrant on the offender"
The neighborhood was pretty thick
ly settled, and Capt. Anter's quaran-
tine laws were very well understood,
and while ne is as tenderhearted as a
woman, he is as fearless as true man,
and no one questioned the propriety
of his purposes. He held in his
hands tke lives of nearly fifty souls,
who looked alone to him for protection,
and he resolutely stood up to the re-
sponsibility-
He maintained his quarantine three
months, and during that time and un-
til the place was abandoned not one
instance Of yellow fever or any sick
ness whatever appeared within the
premises. Outside of his fence and all
around him theyellow fever prevailed,
and from the upper window. of his
abode an observer could see the grave
diggers at work; physicians were seen
hurrying to and fro, aad the cries and
lamentations of the -bereavede oaea
were heard in every direction.
Yet no harm disturbed, no sickness
prostrated a single individual over
whom Capt. Anter executed his pur-
pose No one suffered for the want
of any thing. Vicksburg was kept
employed through its Howards and
others in ministering to the necessities
of the people outside of the outer in
closure, and it was public relief to
have fifty less sick people to nurse,
and many less, in all probability, to
be buried.
One gentleman became worn out
with what he conceived to be the mon
otony of the retreat, and took leave,
returning to Vicksburg, only within
ten days to take the yellow fever and
pay for the privilege by a narrow es-
cape from the grave.

PIUTE BARBARITY.
& PapOOse Buried Alive in the
Grave of a warrior.
From The Silver reef tUtah] Miner.

From the Silver reef (Utah) MiEeE.
1t is well known that some of the
Indian tribes of America have habit
cf killing horses when their chiefs and
medicine men die, and in some instan-
ces the departing braves wives have
been dispatched to bear them compa>
ny to the happy hunting grounds.
When the celebrated Ute chief, Walk
/ er, died, in the northern part Of the
territory, cool many years ago, a
whole band Of horses were slain by
his warriors. But heretofore no one
had supposed the Indians of this sec
tion. had interest enough in the future
life to prepare an escort for their de-
parting braves. The death of buck
near Toquervjue a short time ago
showed that the old chief who begs
biscuits at that settlement is blooded.
He forthwith decided to kill a squaw
to accompany his fayorite warrior,
but the squaw, getting hint of her
intended funeral hid herself so effec-
tually that no clue could be got of her
whereabouts. As the time allowed
for the sacrifice was rapidly passing,
tie old chief, in order not to be de-
feated, selected a three-year old pa
poose, which he took from its mother
and buried in the grave of the deceas,
ed. The head of the child was left
projecting above the ground so that
it could breathe, but he allowed no
one to go near it, till Bishop Bring
hurst, discovering the ccmmotion in
the tribe, traced out the cause and
saved the life of the child after it had
been In the situation described two Or
three days. The mother o. the child
WAS afraid to tell what had happened,
though she was observed to be grief
stricken. The, Toquerville people
thought seriously of burying the old
Lamanite with his head the other
way, but he insisted the religion of
the Piutes required him to do what
he had done.

This gives the assurance, in great measure,
that there will be no more closing

market should become exhausted. which is
scarcely probable. Carsonites will soon feel the
benefit that accrues from the operations of
this most desirable institution, az they have
felt the depression which consequent
