The Yellow Fever Panic in Memphis.

Z From the Memphis Avalanche, July Ill
The excitement occasioned by the
death from yellow fever, reported in
yesterday mornings papers, was in
creased during the morning by rumors
of new cases that had appeared in diff
ferent parts of the city. Nothing could
be heard upon the streets except "yel.
low feyer.'s. You couldn't ask friend
in to take q seltzer lemonade, but the
gentlemanly attendant behind the bar
would ask II there were any new cases
reported in the last eight minutes before
he propounded an inquiry as to whether
yo1 wanted your eelt1H spiked Or mot.
Eyery booy was Wild with conjectures
III regard TO the number Of deaths that
would be reported in the next twenty
four hours, and the man who placed the
number under hundred was voted .
person of small ideas and treated with
GOODNESS. e
"When do you start?" was the uni
versal inquiry, and as q general thing
the time named in reply was not many
hours distant. Then came the usual
excuses for not facing the music. The
family man said: al. wouldn't care .
cuss for the fever, you know, if it wasn't
for the folks" etc. The young unmar.
RED man deposed as follows: s'Scared?
Pshaw! But then you see there's my
friends in Cincinnati. They would be
90 uneasy about ne,'' etc. The result
of this consideration for "the folks'
and absent friends was that by O'Clock
q. m. TIE ticket-offices of the different
railroads were crowded with eager and
excited applicants for transportation to
a more salubrious atmosphere.
The telegraph Office also was jammed
with people, vino wrote hloed-curdling
messages to absent friends, and bu'iness
correspondents, and jostled each other
in their efforts to get at the man behind
the window, and made that individuals
life q burden to him.
During all this time the streets echoed
to the roll of baggage wagons piled high
with trunks and valises of departing
citizens. Hacks and omnibuses clatter-
ed past, crowded with fugitives whose
only aim was to gain the depot, it they
died the next minute. Besides these
means of locomotion, there were not
wanting those who employed the primi-
tive mode introduced by Adam and de-
veloped by Weston-in the plain Amer
lean language, they took it afoot. And
it was q sight to melt the acclimated
heart, to see the agitated citizen, in q
long linen buster making tracks to that
goal of his hopes, the depot.
]. The sight Of all this tamultuousness
naturally inoculated the timid reporter
with the prevailing panic, and he con-
vulsively felt in his pocket for ferriage
over to Hopefeld, but finding only Is
cents, he gave up the idea, and invested
the amount in q strong lemonade, and
thus iuvigorated he set out to gather the
fever facts.

OF the panic of 1916 disappeared before az
other swept over the country. This was ten

by substantially the same causes, aggravated,
however, by an initiation of the currency. Az
the next session Parliament made provisions
for the certain contraction Of the currency,
and by adheFing to this policy healthy con-

aided by several years Of abundant harvests
The next financial crisis occurred In 1889
