his satisfaction Such a course has suggested
itself to Capt. Aiken, not from any fear, but to
make assurances doubly sure for the benefit
Of the patrons Of the company along Red
river. During the worst Of the epidemic last
summer a boat was kept running to Red river
and not one case OF fever could ba traced di-
rectly or indirectly to this boat. Capt. Aiken,
anxious to keep uninterrupted communica-
tion this summer, fnaugurates this precaution
at this early day, not, as we said above. from
fear of danger. for there is none but because
he Intends to leave no means unspared to pre-
vent the possibility Of Infection from the boats
of his line Among the crews of the boats no
man, white or black. will be shipped who L.
subject to the fever; this order will be impera-
lively enforced. We trust the people will ap-
preciate these precautions. and viii stay
their guarantees until there Is greater danger
than there is now.
