PRESENTIMENT.

As unseen spheres cast shadows on the Earth
Some unknown cause depresses me tonight
The house is full of laughter and sweet mirth;
The has held out but pleasure and delight.
Down in the parlor some one blithely sings;
chime of laughter echoes in the hall.
But, all unseen by other eyes, strange things,
Rat-ike, do seem to glide along the wall. -
I rise and laugh, and say will not care
call them idle fancies, one and all;
And yet, suspended by q single hair,
The sword of fate seems trembling, soon to fall
leave the house, and walk the busy street,
And mingle with the pleasure-seeking throng
But close behind me follow spectral feet,
That pause with me, or with me move along.
81 seek my room, and close and bolt the door
| draw the curtain and turn up the light;
But close beside me, closer than before,
This nameless Something stands-yet out O.
sight.
Ye mystic messenger of woe to come,
Ye nameless Nothing yclept Presentiment,
Take form, and face me! be no longer dumb.
But tell me who thou art, and wherefore sent

YELLOW FEVER.

Memphis, August ~12.-Twenty-two
yellow fever cases were reported in all, to-day
10 of which were colored. The national board
OF health at Washington has the following dis
patch from the United States consul at Mata
moras: Reliable information from Tampico,
to August l, says: We have yellow fever cpl
demic, worse than New Orleans last year
People die like flies. Quarantine at Bagdad
against Tampico is still efficient. Medical In
spector Somerset Robinson, of the navy, and
Dr. Daniel Nj. Burgess, several years resident
OF Havana, will perform the duties of inspec-
tors, the former at Mantanzas, the latter at
Havana.
At Memphis, August Is, twenty three
new cases were reported-7 whites, 16 colored
-12 deaths. A private letter of August II, to
the Memphis appeal, from Corinth, Miss, says:
A perfect stampede OF citizens is in progress
owing to. the illness of the mayor and presi-
dent OF the board of health who are supposed
to be sick Of yellow fever. 1t is thought thei
coming in contact with citizens flying from
Memphis, at the quarantine station, caused
the infection.
The yellow fever is steadily increasing
at Memphis. August IA, there were AZ new
cases. An effort has been made for State aid.
| New Orleans is reported free from the fever.
At Memphis August Is, fourteen new
cases Of yellow fever were reported, IL colored
| and six interments. AS an additional precau
tion guards have been placed on the streets
leading into Chelsea to prevent communica-
ton between that healthy suburb and the in
fected portions of Memphis. It rained nearly
all the Afternoon and fires were in demand BY
evening, the thermometer having dropped to
u. All the prominent sick are progressing
favorably except Ed. schloss, who is worse.
At Memphis August Is, twenty-five
| cases in all were reported, and seven deaths.
The Howard Association have POT nurses at
tending 1876 sick families, 12O of whom are
white rs colored. Their expenses daily ag
gregate $500. The total deaths from yellow
feaver for the week ending at 6 D. m. August

At Memphis August Is, thirteen new

yer is spreading to localities out of the city.
The isolation Of buildings is resolved upon,
and guards will prevent communication with
the inmates where yellow fever exists. One
case from Cairo was sent to the quarantine
hospital at st. Louis. There were 100 deaths
from yellow fever in Havana last week,

list was 1900; in 1898, $500, and in
1899 there were 1000 deaths. So it was
in 1902 -fifths when Philadelphia
next had the fever as an epidemic. In
South Carolina it has been almost sinvar-
iably;the case that the second year brought
IN epidemic. Memphis and all other
points which were infected in 1878 es-
capped the second year. In that year the
fever began in Shreveport first, and did not
come until the latter part Of August,
reaching Memphis Sept. II. August has
been the favorite month for its inception.
Last year it began near the first of that
month in the South.

The State Election.

SAN FRANCISCo, September S.-A COM
plcte count in the city gives the follow
ing result: The Workingmen elect
the Mayor, Spoford for Sheriff, Audi
tor, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Public
Administrator, Surveyor, District Attor-
ney, City and County Attorney, Police
Judge, one Supervisor Chambers,
Board of Education and Railroad Com
missioner for the city district. The Re
publicans elect the Assessor, Recorder,
Coroner, County Clerk, Superintendent
OF schools, Superintendent OF Streets,
eleven Supervisors, seven members OF
the Board of Education and a member
of the State Board Of Equalization, and
reelected Congressman Davis. The
Superior Judges elected are mostly on
the tickets of all parties. Some of the
officers are elected by a majority so
small that its possible official count may
result in some change.
SAN FRANCISCo, September S.-The
official count OF the votes in the city
differs in some cases widely from the
figures published in the city, and Is
likely 10 change the results in certain IN
stauces. Returns from all the counties
in the Third Congressional district give
McKenna, Republican, 27l majority
overy Berry, Democrat. Some OF the
counties are partly estimated, and full
returns are expected to increase Nc
kenna's majority.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.
The Advance i'm Merchant Iron,
Rails, Pig Iron and Iron Ore
Scarcity Of Pig Iron.

New ALBANY, September S.-The adj
vance in iron at the several rolling mills
in this city from the extreme low price
in the early part Of the present year, at
which none OF the mills could make
money, is as follows: Advance in mer-
chant iron, ia per ton; in railroad iron,
$40 to Sl2 per ton; in pig iron, $3.50 to
- per ton, as to quality; in iron ore,
fifty cents per ton. And parties not
having engagements ahead for pig and
ore and old rails find great difficulty at
present in obtaining a supply.
Owing to the scarcity and impossible
ity of obtaining a sufficient supply of
pig iron and old rails, the New Albany
Rail Mill has been idle for a week,
though pressed with orders. The mill
will, however, start up again this week
with a "double turn, and probably run
day and night throughout the year.
Some of the foundries find it difficult
to obtain a supply of pig iron. Theron
interest in the Indiana districts is fairly
booming, except in nails.

What Blaine Thinks.
AUGUSTA, September S-Midnight.-
Senator Blaine has just sent the follow
ing dispatch to Senator Allison, OF
Iowa:
Hon. William b. Allison, Dubuque, IoWd:
The result of to-day's election may be
briefly summed up thus: We have car
ried a large majority OF the House OF
Representatives and majority OF the
Senate apparently, though not GER
tainlv. We have given our candidate
for Governor a plurality Of more than
10000 votes over the Greenback and
10000 over the Democratic candidate.
Whether we have given him an absolute
majority over both will only be deter
mined by further returns, and possibly
by an official count. On Joint ballot in
the Legislature we shall have large
majority, thus controlling the executive
council and selection of all the State
officers. The majority against us last year
was over 1900, equivalent to 10000 in
Illinois, to 5000 in Pennsylvania, or to
100 900 in New BOrk. To overcome this
enormous majority in an off year
with no general election pending was OF
couase a difficult task, and our Republi-
cans feel that they have made splendid
fight with most gratifying results.
(Signed) j, G. BLAINE,
Chairman State Committee.
PORTLAND, September S.-The Repub-
lcans will be able by their majority on
Joint ballot to elect the Executive Coun-
ell and subordinate officers even though
they have not elected a majority OF the
Senate.
