Probably no epidemic or consequence of
war ever produced greater excitement for the
number of people concerned, or witnessed
more outrageous scene than that at the depot
Eat Memphis Sunday morning, when the train
left there at 8 O'clock that morning, and
which only reached here yesterday between
II M. and P. M. The majority #of the
frightened humanity on that train were wo-
mon and children, manyeo of whom. had no
protectors to guard and care for them-wo-
men with young babes at the breast,
others whose great age made it seem
mockery to flee from death, yet they were
there, and were so unfortunate as to be herd
ed (for no other word expresses the meaning
80 welD with set of male dogs in human
guise, who drank vile liquors and smoked
mean cigars, and pulled the snoke in the
faces of delicate ladies': and, not content
with that, drew from the spacious pockets
OF their busters those emblems of hell and
low life, playing cards, formed games for
money. and, as natural consequence,
began cursing and disappearing
IN manner that would shock the
most foully raised vagabond. No
word was too vulgar to be checked upon the
lips OF those foulmouthed ruffians. I will
ada that even this was bearable compared
with the brutal conduct of some of those
tnlngs-for they could not appropriately be
calied men-ln occupying double share of
room, while poor, weak ladies, for such they
are. were forced to stand in those iol. ing
cars as best they could, many of them with
little ones in their arms, until the train
reached Marian. Many of these ladies', weak
and exhausted, sank to the floor amid all the
nth and dirt. Added to this there was no wa
ter, and no one in authority seemed to
make any attempt to provide it. Very few
had anything to eat, nor could they get it
for any price until they reached this city,
having then been more than twenty-eipht
hours IN this suspense and misery. Ladies,
who at home have carriages and all that
wealth can command, were glad to find a
seat on the steps of the car platform, and
many were for hours forced to remain in
such fearful danger. A Southern man
should blush to know that, even to
save his own life, he should be
guilty of such inhumanity to a
woman. take great pride in saying that
there were few men on that train who did
al in their power to alleviate the sufferings
of the women and children. One young
man In particular, whose name I regret
did not learn, observed brute dispossess
some little children of seat they had from
the first occupied. He stepped forward.
and, by welldirected blow, hurled the
scoundrel ont of the place he had usurped
and restored the little ones. Probably the
railroad officers in charge of the train did
all they could. but that is questionable. Not
half the passengers secured checks for bag
gage. Many who did, did SO by paying the
baggage man heavily. -. 49,

Typhoid Fever Germs Lurking in the De-

Typhoid Fever Germs Lurking in the De-
fcious Crystal.
Popular Science Monthly.l
About eight years since, DR.. Flint. who has
studied and written great deal on the sub
ject, became satisfied that source of typhoid
fever existed which was little dreamed of,
and which at first thought would seem i'm
possible. This source, as he then enunciated
it to his home medical society land not to his
knowledge having been before suggested), is
found in ice. If this idea is thoroughly in
vestigated it will not appear to be very prob
lematical. In the first place the poison is
not destroyed or impaired by freezing (some
one long ago remarked that ice often masks
or conceals what it does not kilD. Now whence
comes our ice supply? Often from shallow
reservoirs in the midst of neighborhoods of
large towns purposely made to receive sur
face drainage from all around, under the er.
roneous idea that no harm will ensue, as
freezing is supposed to purify and render
harmless what might otherwise be objection
able. Great quantities of ice are taken from
canals, from creeks, from stagnant ponds,
and from streams that are either the natural
or artificial recipients of surface drainage. of
the outpourings of sewers, and of uncleanli
ness from various sources. The danger of
ice taken from improper places is not only
from that which is drank, but from
its use in refrigerators and preservato-
ries, where milk, butter, fruits, vegetables
and meats are subject to its influence as it
vaporizes. Several instances have fallen
under the doctors observation where the
disease, by the most careful investigation,
could not be traced to any other source and
if we accept as fact the statement posi-
lively made by Budd in the London Lancet
in July 1859, that it never originates de uovo,
but proceeds from a special and specific
poison, which is capable of diffusion to q
great extent, and which preserves its nox-
ious qualities for long period, even il bur-
led for many months, We cannot reject the
hypothesis of ice infection: and it is hoped
that it will be made the subject of very thor
ough and careful investigation.

watching the gathering shadows
Creep over the hillside brown:
Coming along in the cleaning
With never star in the sky,
MY thoughts went a-rOaming, a-roaming,
Through days that are long gone by;
Days when desire said, Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, heart, well be gay!"
DAYS ere the heart heard the sorrow
winch echoes through yesterday.
3 Life was a goblet FURNISHED,
That with love for wine was filled:
The cup is bruised and furnished,
And the precious wine is spilled.
But to the traveller weary,
Just come in sight OF home,
what does it matter how dreary
The way whereby he has come?
Coming along by the meadows,
And watching the fading day,
Duskier than nights dusky shadows
Fell shadows of yesterday
In the northern sunsets glimmer
- The great bear opened his eyes:
Low in the East simmer
Showed where the full moon would rise
Lights in window were cleaning.
And some one stood at gate,
SAID, why do you stand there drcamings
AND why are you home SO late!"
Yesterdays shadow and sorrow
That moment all vanished awayi
Here were to-day and Tomorrow
What matter for yesterday!
