THE transmission of registered pack
ages by mail has been much simplified by
the use of special mail-bags. These are
colored red, white and blue, in stripes;
and are provided with locks different from
those in ordinary use. Packages and let
tiers are put into the bag which is then
forwarded as one registered package
This saves much writing, handling, delay
and risk Of loss.

A NEW school law has been passed by
our Legislature. One of its good provi-

fund to the various districts in proportion
to the number Of children in each. For
merly the apportionment was based upon
number of children in actual attendance
during certain months. If, therefore, any
district ran short of funds, and could en-

ANOTHER THEORY SH1hEN.

The eases Of yellow fever report
ed the other day as occurring
aboard the United States man.of
war Plymouth, is calculated to IN
settle, in a great degree, the theO
ries of either freezing out OF
destroying by fumigation the
germs of this dreadful disease,
During last fall the Plymouth went
on a voyage to the West Indies,
and while there several cases OF
fever occurred aboard. During
last winter she was taken to Boston
and thoroughly fumigated and sub
jeeted to "a freezing process, and it
was supposed the germs of fever
were entirely destroyed, but from
subsequent events it appears none
OF the disenfecting operations ac-
complished the object, and that
the germs of yellow fever still lin,
gered in her. On the 10Th of last
month the Plymouth sailed from
Boston for another cruise in the
West Indies, and when about three
hundred miles from Bermudaisland
two cases of fever occurred aboard,
and she was headed north peihs
deemed under the circumstances
unfit for a cruise in the tropics. Ii
these circumstances as felateu DC
f,cts-,pd we do not doubt 1t, as
the vessel had not not touched at
any point after leaving Boston
wbat remedy can be resorted to III
order to rid an infected vessel,
dwelling or anything else OF the
disease, except to destroy them by
burning. If the freezing process
will not avail then congress has
uselessly appropriated 100000 to
test Prof. Gangee's freezing ship
apparatus, which has been recon-
mended by scientific men as a sure
method of killing out yellow fever
germs. But the Plymouth was not
only frozen out, but also thoroughly
fumigated by the most scientific
plans, which has heretofore been
supposed to be an effective method
of destroying the fever germs.
Here is a case for the doctors OF
medicine to work upon, and one
will no doubt be thoroughly
Investigated and reported upon.

WE have not yet seen any call
for a meeting of the democratic
executive committee of Harrison
county, and as some OF the mem
bers thereof have suggested that
it was about time some action was
being had, we merely throw ont
the hint. At the meeting held at
Mississippi City, on the 18th Of last
August Hon. II. Seal resigned as
chairman, and as no one was cleo
ted in bis place, we suppose it
would be legal for the secretary to
call "a meeting OF the committee.
Under the circumstances we
think it would be advisable for the
to meet some time soon
and elect IA chairman, and begin to
place the democratic house in order
the coming fall campaign. We
know it is early and that there is
of time ahead, but we think
t is well to organize and be pre-
pared for the campaign.

TILT INTER

Several papers throughout the
State last week published what was
said to have been an interview be-
tween ex-President Davis and a
Boston Herald reporter. We did
not publish it because the language
used did not appear to us as coming
from Mr.. Davis, and we thought at
the time the interview was CON
cocted in the brain of some would
be enterprising newspaper man.
OF the correctness of Our impress
sions We reproduce the following
from the Vicksburg Commercial of
last Thursday: ......
We were honored this morning with a
call by the Hon. Jefferson Davis, who is
visiting this city. Mr.. Davis said that
the "interview" published in the Vicks-
burg Herald this morning as having been
reported to the Boston Herald, never oc-
Cured, and had it occurred he would not
have used any such language; nor did he
or express any such thoughts as
those ascribed to him in that article.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
ute and sickness the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning.
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer,
else would be beneficial to him,yet
he CAP scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to Try IT. III fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
1sted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranqed
