NEWS FROM BEHRING'S STRAITS.
Among the passengers by the steamer
H. Paul from Onalaska to San Francisco, were
Col. II. G. Otis and Capt.J. H. Moulton, Of the
United States treasury department, who have
been making tour of the seal islands in the
interest of the department. They report that
the revenue cutter Richard Rush had been
through Behring's Straits and within 3s4 miles
OF Wrangcl land and within 76 miles of East
Cane, near which place Prof. Nordenekjold is
supposed to be frozen in. Her officers report
the sea to the northward clear as far a. yisi-
bic, with no signs Of ice. The season in the
Artic has been unusually favorable for cxplor-
alton, winter warm and ice broke up carly.
Lieut. Dclong, of the Jeanette, hopes to
reach Wrangel Land before the ice closes
again and intends to winter there. There's
some question as to his reaching there early
enough, as on the way up the Jeanette will
visit the coast in the vicinity of East Cape in
search of tidings Of Professor Nordenekiold.
The report Of his escape is not credited at the
north. No news to that effect had been re-
ceivcd at Onalaska or st. Michacls, and those
on board the Richard Rush could could obtain
no information concerning him.

Historic Facts About Yellow Fever.

The history of yellow fever in this
country shows that it has hardly been
the exception when the fever appeared
as cpcdcmic the year following an cpl
demic. In 1847 there were 22,50 deaths
in New Orlcaus, and $50 in 1848, and 1877
IN 1s49. In 1853 there were 1910 deaths
in the same city, and there were 2,453
deaths in 1854 and 2,67O in 1856. In
1858 there was $3.50 deaths, but none
the following year. In the same pro-
portions the fever appeared IN the small
or places in Louisiana and Mississippi in
those years. In 1848, when it reappeared
in New Orleans, it came in June, while
the epidemic OF 1s47 began in August.
The great epidemic of 1853 began In May,
and the epidemic of .the year following
came in July, and in the next year in June.
The epidemic in North, Carolina in 1862
followed in 1864, two years afterward
bY one of increased mortality, but not
IN the same cities and towns as gener-
al thing. In 1897 Philadclphia's death
list was 1900; in 1893, $500, and in
1899 there we're 1000 deaths. So it was
in 1902 thrce-fifths when Philadelphia
next had the fever as an epidemic. In
South Carolina it has been almost invar-
iably the case that the second year brought
an epidemic. Memphis and all other
points which were infected in 1873 es-
capped the second year. In that year the
fever began in Shreveport first, and did not
come until the latter part of August,
reaching Memphis Sept. IA. August has
been the favorite month for its inception.
Last year it began near the first Of that
month in the South

Slim Evidence.

A family grocer IN the northern part
of the city has been annoyed great deal
by boys stealing boxes and other articles
from the yard in the rear of the store,
and the other day he made ready for a
visit, determined to catch a boy and
make an example of him. By-and-by
four or five Lads dropped over the fence
into the yard, and they were mousing
about in search of plunder when the groce:
rushed at them. Somehow or other all
got over the fence, but one boy left be-
hind him on rail about half yard OF
cloth from his breeches. With this proof
in his hand, the grocer rushed around
and out upon the street, and, as good
luck would have it, he collared the boy
who had lost the patch.
"Now I've got you-now I've got proof!
exclaimed the grocer, as he waved the
cloth on high.
81 don't see it," coolly remarked the
boy.
"You don't? Why this cloth was from
your breeches; here's the very spot"
"You haint got no case agin me, mis-
ter" said the lad, as he eyed the cloth,
"for ken prove that these brcechcs be-
long to my brother Sam. If you want
to arrest him, go ahead.'
The occasion was too big for the grocer
to grasp, and while he was trying to mas,
ter the conundrum the boy and the bic
rent walked off in close company.

Men may escape the law, but their
own consciences they cannot flee from.
Many years ago a young man in Boston
was guilty Of an oftense against the law,
an offense which broug ght social ruin
upon himself and his family. The man
and his offense are forgotten by the
public, yet he lives, and lives in Boston.
But from the day his offensc was discov-
cred-although, having escaped the law,
he is free to come and go as he pleases-
he has never been out Of his own home
IN the daytime. Sometimes, under cover
ofnight, he walks abroad to take an airing
and note the changes that thirty years
have wrought, but an ever active con-
science makes him sllun the light of day
and the faces of men, and he walks apart,
stranger in the midst Of those among
whom he has always lived.
