Gus enough. Serious to the poor deluded
negroes, serious to the South, and
serious to the pockets of the

language of the st. Louis Times-Journal,
"The worst phase of the whole matter is
the fact that nearly all the bed-clothing
and furniture which they (the negroes)
have taken with them is that which was
used by yellow fever patients last sum-
mer and by hotels and boarding-houses
that have since been reftted at Vicks-
burg and other riverports." This stuff
has been picked up from fishermen and
Others and is thoroughly impregnated
with yellow fever malaria and is well cal
culated to scatter the pesUilence through
all places where the negroes stop in their
exodus. Ii this be in any degree true, a
great danger is impending over the people
of the Southwest and particularly over
Missouri and Kansas In any event, the
