Mrs. Rousby, the actress, who died
in England last Monday, was a native
of the Isle of Wight, and about thirty
years of age, 1t was for her that Tom
Taylor, the dramatist, wrote Twixt Axe
and Crown. She visited this country
four years ago and won signal favor.
She is described as being always cor
rect, intelligent, and wonderfully grace
full, She never assumed an attitude
that was not pretty and picturesque.
Her voice was extraordinarily sweet,
and her cOnquering charm on the stage
was that aided by her beauty and her
smile which was full of sunshine.

The Number Nine.

The most romantic Of all numbers
is the figure nine, because it can not
be multiplied away or got rid of
anyhow. Whatever you do it is sure
to turn up again; as was the body of
Eugene Arms victim. One remark
able property of this figure (said to
have been first discovered by Mr..
Greer, who died in 1844) is that all
drought the multiplication table the
product of nine comes to nine. Null
tiply what you like and it will give
the same result. Begin with twice
IL; add the digits together, and 1
and 8 make 8; three times nine are
twenty seven and 2 and 7 are 8. So
it goes up to eleven times nine, which
gives SO. Very good add the digits.
8 and 8 are. is, and 8 and i are 9.
Going on to any extent it is impos-
sible to get rid of the figure nine.
Take couple of instances at random.
Three hundred and thirty nine times
nine are 8 051; add up the figures
and they are nine. Five thousand
seventy-one times nine are 1888
the sum of these digits is II; 2 and
7 are 9.

Saving Clover Seed.

P. NJ, Boston, NELSON COUNTY, KY.
In order to get paying crop of
clover seed, the first crop should be
cut early in June, and the field, fit
be little poor, top-dressed with some
we'll rotted manure. In selecting field
to cut for seed, care should be taken
that it is free from such weeds as
ripen their seeds about the time the
clover does, also such as have seeds
near the same size and weight as, all
foreign substances in clover seed will
greatly injure its value The seq
ond crop, which bears the seed, will
ripen about the LIST Of September
The time to cut it is when the husks
are quite brown and the seeds have
passed the milky state. All that is
necessary is to NOW it and let it re-
main on the ground until thor
oughly cured, which may take two
or three weeks; then rake up and
stack when dry. Rain on it will be
of benefit if the straw is allowed to
dry afterward. If there is a clover
huller near you, send for it, and
leave the threshing to the owner,
as he perhaps fully understands it.
The yield of seed per acre will. vary
from one and half to FIVE bushels,
as to circumstances, soil, season, &c.

The soourgs in other Years.
New York Tribune.

Now that the yellow fever is at
tracing much attention in the city
it may be interesting to trace its
history in this country. The record
of its outbreaks are imperfect up to
1893. At that time, after spread
ing through nearly every Southern
town. it reached Philadelphia, and
extended as far north as Quebec.
| The fever continued to be epidemic
| until 1905. In 1917 it appeared
AGAIN in the Gulf towns; and then
in several following years attacked
every Southern town along the Gulf
and Southern Atlantic, reaching
New York in the terrible
endemic of 1922. An interval
then occurred in its ravages
until 1850. Starting in January
of, that year at Rio de Janeiro, it
moved gradually northward, until it
reached Mobile in 1853, and Phila-
delphia and New York in 1856.
From April to October of that year
seventy-nine vessels infected with
yellow fever were quarantined at
New York. The fever, however,
was successfully confined to Cover
nor's Island and the Long Island
shore. Eighteen hundred and sew
-enty was the next year In which the
fever made itself severely felt on
August Ii Of that year it was dis
covered ON Governors Island.
Fromthat time until the
18th 6Y Of the following Oct
ober it remained in and around
New York; 159 cases were reported,
So of (which proved fatal Most Of
these occurred on Governors Island.
In the city there were only eleven
deaths. The next and most severe
visitation of the scourge was last
year. This is too recent to mention
here. ITt0s4J T23G g65s
It is said to be curious fact
about yellow fever that it does not
appear to be a contagious disease.
DIR. Janeway and many prominent
physicians are of this, opinion.
They say that it is of germinal1
growth T; that yellow fever is itself
living organism. It thus forms
boundary line between contagious
and non,contagious diseases; it's
poison is not generated in the hus
man system, but externally. It not
only attacks persons exposed to the
infected place, but under unknown
circumstances may be transported
in vessels, trunks, railroad cars, etc.,
from point to point, and turned
loose to propagate. Like cholera,
it occasionally assumes a migratory
character, travelling over great ex-
tent of country, and not unfre-
quently breaking through the most
rigid quarantine. In these migra-
grations it seems to have pre-
scrlbed course, along which it pays
no attention to any impediments
placed in its way. A singular fact
in the history of yellow fever in
this country is that it is of older
date in Northern seaports than in
New Orleans.

THE CIPHER DISPATCHES.

The press has for long time been
agitated about some cipher dis
patches published some months ago
i'm the New York Tribune. These
dispatches, partly in cipher. were
intended to implicate Mr.. Tilden in
an intrigue for purchasing the Flor
ida Returning Board. The whole
thing has now been Investigated
before the Potter Committee Of the
House with the following results:
Mr.. Tilden was kept in entire ig-
nOrancc of the whole transaction till
he saw it in the Tribune.
Col. Pelton, MantOn Marble and
w. II. Smith, friends and relatives
of Mr.. Tilden, were approached by
the Returning Board with an offer
to sell out, and unfortunately did
correspond with them to that intent.
We have no purpose Of defending
these gentlemen, but they are re-
spOnsible for it as three individuals,
Mr.. Tilden and the Democratic
party both being free from any con-
nection with the transaction. Their
crime is small, however, compared
with that of the Republican party.
They offered to bride the Board to
do their duty and report the vote as
it was really given. The Republi-
can party has paid them well in
offices if not in money for giving q
false return in favor of the present
administration which has rendered
itself pdrticeps cTinaiRiS by feeding
fat the perpetrators of the fraud.
We say nothing about the dis
graceful transaction by which these
kilograms came into the hands of
prominent Republican politicians,
Morton, Butler and w. f. Chandler,
who burnt all the mass of dispatches
which eliminated the Republican
party and afterwards sold this par
ticular lot to the Tribune. Those
men are so ingrained with dirt that
this last instalment of filth cannot
affect them much for good or for
