Death by Yellow Fever.

Acorrespondent, reviewing the scenes
Of the yellow fever scourge last season,
says: There is one thing very remarka-
BILE in the fatal yellow fever cases that
/ have seen in New Orleans and else
where-the fear of death seems never
felt. Those terrible phantoms, those
heartrending EXPLANATIONS so common
on deathbeds, are rarely witnessed in
this disease. This first came particu-.
larly under my observation q number Of
years ago in Opelousas, where the yel-
low fever broke out suddenly and with
appalling severity. / was there with
friend on important business with the
land Office, and he was among the first
that we're attacked. In few days over
200 were struck down. The mortality
was appalling. / saw many die, and
the physicians, if any Of them of them
are now living, will bear me out in the
assertion that, without exception, the
patients seemed to welcome DEATH
Even the constitutionally timid viewed
its approaches with composure. Hus-
bands and wives, who had many ties to
bind them to life, were not known to
express regret or reluctance, and in not
a single instance, by either man or wo-
man, was there any indication Of terror
or apprehension. Whether calm and
rational or frantic and delirious, they
usually died like stoics, without tear.
] havo seen so much Of the same thing
in New Orleans, in people of different
temperaments and Of very opposite hab-
its and creeds, that ] class indifference
to death as one Of the characteristics Of
genuine yellow fever.

City. Town and County Debts.

The forthcoming number Of a maga-
zinc will contain some important and
interesting figures regarding the fnan-
cial condition of the towns, counties and
cities OF the United States. In former
article the financial condition Of 1870
principal cities down TO 1876 was given,
and the present investigation is brought
down to the close of the year 1873, and
includes counties, cities and towns of the
entire country. The municipal debt of
130 cities was found 10 be in the year
1876, S644, 37S ,663; in 1866, 1921, 312,-
600. The assessed value of the proper.
ty Of the same in 1876, was sc, 175, ,OS2,-
1853; in 1866, $3,451, ,619,3 1881. Annual
taxation of the same in 1876, $112 ILL.,
275; in 1866, S64. .O6O 914. Population
of the same in 1876, S,576, ,249; in 1866,
5,9l9,914. Increase in debt, 200 per
cent. in taxation S3 per cent; in valua-
tion, rs per cent, and in population,
only 33 per cent. The municipal debt
alone OF 130 cities, representing a popu-
lation of only S,576,2 ,249, exceeded in
in 1876 by over $12S, 600, 900 the county,
town and city Indebtedness of the entire
country in 1870. In six years the in.
debtedness of these cities had exceeded
by over $316, 100000 the bonded and
floating indebtedness of all the towns
and cities of the United States, which in
1870, according to the census, amounted
to S5l5, $4,000. From eleven States
complete returns have been obtained.
These States are New York, Massachu-
setts, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minneso-
ia, Kansas, Missouri, Connecticut, Geor-
gia and Rhode Island. In these the total
aggregate local debt in 1873 was $780,
285, 528, and in 1870, 1886, 179, ,O60. The
assessed valuation of property in these
States was 81, l72, 1879 in 1870, and
SO, 333, 696, ,515 in 1878. Although bad
enough, the second investigation shows
a better condition of affairs than did the
first. The increase in the cities was at
the rate of 200 per cent, and by adding
in the county and town debts the in
crease is less than 100 per cent. Re-
turns from the rest of the States are
incomplete, but are as complete and cor
rect as it is possible to make them until
after the census of 1880 is taken. The
total local debt of the country at the
close of the year 1878 was 81, ,051, LOG, 112,
exclusive Of State debts.

ChiId.Lire ON the Amazons.

Mr.. Herbert H. Smith, writing in
,Scribner of AN Indian Village on the
Amazons, thus describes very inter
esting phase Of tropical life: Child-life
here is an exceedingly curious study;
the little quiet creatures are so different
from our American boys and girls. They
get few caresses and give none; mother
love is mechanical; there is nothing of
that overflow of tenderness, that con-
slant watchful care, that sheds such a
halo around our homes. The babies
vegetate in their steady brown fashion,
seldom crying or laughing, but lying all
day in their hammock cradles and watch
ing everything around them with keen
eyes. AS soon as the little boys and
girls can toddle about they are left pref
ty much to their own resources, tum-
bling up the back stairs of life on diet
of mandioca meal and fish. The parents
seldom punish their children, for they
are very docile; when they do, the little
ones pucker up their mouths and look
sullen, but they do not cry. Pleasure
is expressed by smile-among the lit
tie girls very often by broad grin, with
abundant show of teeth-but an articu-
late laugh is rarity.
1t is interesting to watch how the
mental traits of the race appear even in
the young babies. If plaything is
given them, they examine it gravely for
a little while, and then let it drop. OBJ
serve how different this is from a white
baby's actions. A bright little six
months-old at home has four distinct
methods Of investigations first, by look
ing; second, by touching; then by put
ting the object in its mouth; and finally
by banging it against the floor. The
brown menino just looks; be does not
investigate at all. The children grow
older, the same trait is apparent in
almost every case. An Indian is con-
tent to see or hear thing, without
troubling himself about the why's and
where fores; even such incomprehensible
pursuits as fossil collecting, or butterfly
catching, or sketching, provoke hardly
any curiosity. The people look on
quietly, sometimes asking q question or
two, but soon dismissing the subject
from their minds as something they are
Incapable Of understanding,

An Old Mans Dream.

Toiling along with weary step in the
hot sun, an old man found shade and sat
down to rest under a tree which some
kind hand had planted long years before.
Some children watched him from across
the street, wondering if he had no one
to lean on and no home to 60 to.
The wind whispered so softly through
the branches overhead, and the shade
was so cool and refreshing that the old
man slept. He dreamed that he had a
home again, and children played before
the door. He returned from his days
work as of yore, and the little faces were
at the gate to be kissed, and little voices
cried out in glee. Around his table
were wife and sons, and he sat with them
on the porch as the sun went down, and
had heart big with thanksgiving. Then
his dreamed changed. He again sent
his sons to the war, never to see them
again, and he once more stood beside the
coffin of his wife and felt that earth had
no more happiness for him. In his dream
he saw strangers in his home, strange
children at the gate, and he beheld him
self old and poor and forsaken. His tears
fell, and when he awoke be was crying
out in the bitterness of his heart:
Il had better be dead, for no one soul
on earth cares for me
He looked down and there was food at
his feet. The ragged old hat which he
had laid aside had been replaced by a
better one, and inside it was child's
handkerchief and three or four pennies.
Hidden behind the fence across the way
the children noted his amazement and
laughed softly, and he looked up and
down and failed to find them. He
gathered up the things with glad smile,
and MS he rose to go he said:
i know not who it was, but an old man
gives them his blessing
The children watched him as he NOV.
ed away with brighter step, and as he
wiped away tear.
How little it was, yet how much near
er Heaven he felt for it l-Detroit Free

Mr.. Burdette, editor OF the Burling-
ton HGoOkeye, amused himself, soon af-
ter reaching home, by setting young
dog to investigate an early spring wasp
that came into his sanctum. After va
rious preliminaries he says:
The wasp is wheeling airily about the
room, singing in low, soft tones the
songs of other golden summer days.

He has moved. How like silent beni-
son the radiant sunlight falls upon the
street. Yes, think now I saw him
move. heard him; too, for my recollec-
ton is that he moved as much with his
tongue as he did with his feet. I gaze
upon the canvas Of the past, and memo
ry limns for me the details of his NOV
ing. But nothing limns anything for
the dog. He doesn't need it. He linn
ed it all that was necessary for his own
unaided self.
Upon the cioudless, pale, unshadow-
ed blue of the April sky above me,
storms will come, and the fierce white
glare Of the lightning will frighten the
radiant sunshine and the mellow star
light. There will be drifting clouds
across the summer days, and the smile
of the spring time will be quenched in
bitter tears. Oh, icy sheen of winter,

snowy crown upon the casket lid. How
all these things will come and go. But

CLEVELAND, TENN, JULY 81, 1879.
The Last Hours of the Great Match

The Last Hours OF the Great Match
No such excitement as that which ex-
listed in London the last night of the pc
destrian contest has ever been caused
by pedestrian contest. Weston sue
ceeded in completing $50 miles in 142
hours, beating the best record by 7 3-16
miles, and won the Ashley long-distance
champion belt and a bet Of 80, 800. AL
though il has been hard for Englishmen
to see this famous belt slipping away
from them, they cheered the American
TO the echo, and Agricultural hall was
the scene Of the widest enthusiasm.
The performance is considered the more
marvellous that the English public had
begun to lose faith in Weston, and i'm
agined that the island could produce
dozen better men than he, and that in
the keeping Of Blower Brown, backed
by Rowell, the belt was perfectly safe.
1t was Brown who made the famous re-
cord Of 542 and 5.16 miles, and when
Weston had scored 543, and was still
scoring lap after lap with untiring per-
severance, the building fairly shook
with the tremendous applause of the
multitude who watched the sturdy walk
or and the changing figures on the black
board. A large number of Americans
we're present, and their shouts of en-
couragement and the many bouquets
and baskets Of beautiful flowers shower
ed upon their plucky countryman seem.
cd to infuse him with new life; and with
a smiling face he reeled off the laps as
though he were walking for the fun of
the thing, An hour later he had scored
548 miles, at 10.45 o'clock $40 and at
1856 o'clock another mile had been
added, the great walk was ended, and
with minutes yet to spare the score of
the champion pedestrian of the world
stood $50 miles. Browns score at this
time was 453 miles, or ninety-seven
miles behind that of Weston, and SO
miles behind that of his own record of
last April. Weston was also O contest
ant in that match, and succeeded in
gaining a share Of the gate-money by
covering 450 miles.

The LaSt of a Fallen dynasty.

The son of Napoleon Ill. is dead,
trapped by zulus in ambush, and his
body pierced by poisoned spears. The
prince imperial, who played ut picking
up spent bullets while the death-knell
OF the empire was sounding, has fallen a
victim to his own rashness at the mo-
ment when the republic declares itself
strong enough to intrust its existence to
the keeping Of Paris. The dynasty that
was nursed among the mountains Of Cor
sica comes to an end amid the pathless
wilderness OF South Africa; the boy that
was born in the purple just as the treaty
OF Paris put its seal on the greatness OF
the third empire, and whom all the
world hailed as tho assured successor to
the throne not less firm than the Oldest
in Europe, has gone down with the last
remnant Of the heritage Of the man OF
destiny in skirmish with nameless saw
ages. 1t were tedious to exhaust the
antitheses which euch subject suggests,
endless to dwell on the bitter irony Of
fate which closes The historical episode
Of Bonapartism. For the fate Of this
generous, brave, and modest young
man, neither the contemporary annalist
nor the future historian can have aught
but pity; over the death Of the cause
which be represented, OF the hopes Of
which he was the source and center; no
lover Of freedom will drop tear.
