BE thou as ehaste as ice, as pure as snow,
Thou shalt not escape caumny.
Some of the lascars of the Northern
press, not content with reckless vii
lifcation of the ex-President of the
Confederate States, are seeking to cast
a reproach on the fair fame of the late
Mrs. Dorsey. A deliberate attempt
of this character is made through the
columns of the Chicago Tribune by a
special correspondent writing from
New York, an account of what pur-
ports to have been an interview with
Mr.. S. 2. Ellis, brother of the de-
ceased. 1t is evident, from a perusal
Of the letter to the Tribune, that It's
author has endeavored to convey tc
the world an impression concerning
the relations of Mrs. Dorsey and Mr.
Davis injurious alike to both. Base
indeed, must be the man who would
pen maliciously such a vile calumny
and unprincipled the journal thai
would publish it. Up to the date d
the death of Mrs. Dorsey and the be.

shafts which continually they dis.
charged at the distinguished object
Of their malice. The event of which
we have just spoken has restocked
their quiyers, and with turpitude
and rancor almost beyond parallel they
attack not only Jefferson Davis, but
also a woman as pure and noble as
ever lived. 1t has come to this that
not holy aud philauthropic lives,
adorned by the virtues which do most
chasten and beautify the character
of woman, may escape the foul asper.

How Sherman Didn't Gain In New
England

Templeton's Boston Letter.l
| have for several years looked upon
Secretary Sherman as, all things con
sidered, the ablest practical statesman
in America. His success as secretary
Of the treasury has, therefore, been
no surprise to me. have confidence
that he would make very able Pres
ident as well, and perhaps would bring
that Office back to the statesmanike
position that the fathers meant it
should occupy. But, with all his
talent, Secretary Sherman has not
made the impression upon the people
produced by other men who are his
interiors, and, though he has naturally
been much talked about on his New
England journey, | see no proof that
he has added essentially to the list of
his personal adherents. AS a politi-
clan his tactics have been faulty. He
is avowedly candidate for the Presi
dency. If he puts his claims for
support upon his career in connection
with finances they would rest upon
impregnable ground. But, after he
has fully elucidated and elaborated
what he has done in this direction, he
tells his audiences that, important as
this may be, it is transcended in mo-
ment by the needs of fighting again
the sectional question. OF course all
this is to get capital away from Grant,
and from Conkling and Blaine The
sagaoious advice of one who deems
himself a practical politician, to q
public man the other day, was Don't
let the stalwarts get ahead of you p
Mr.. Sherman has acted upon this, but
he has overreached the mark. When
he has proved that the sectional issue
is the one of overshadowing import.
ance, he has to contend with the logi
cal outcome in the minds of his hear.
ers that, if this be the fact, Mr.
Sherman is not the best man tC
deal with it. Either Grant or Blaine
has a better hold on them, if this
is the work to be done. So, politically
speaking, Secretary Sherman has
given his case away. do not think
he has more strength as candidate
for the Presidency than he had when
he came here-perhaps he has not SO
much. The conservative Republicans
are all inclined to favor MIR. Hayes
again, and there is nothing in Mr..
Sherman's speeches to draw a man
away from the President. They hope
that Mr.. Sherman does not mean all
that he says-and this is probably the
fact; but Mr.. Hayes, being not in the
business of electioneering for the
Presidency, has the manifest advan-
tage of not making that kind Of mis-
takes. He ia gaining here every day.
The article on his administration in
the Atlantic by Walter Allen, of the
Advertiser, is an admirable vindica-
tion of it, and except in one or two
points is a conclusive one.

April to October of that year seventy
nine vessels infected with yellow fever
were quarantined at New York. The
fever, however. was successfully con-
fined to Goyernor's Island and the
Long Island shore. The next year
in which the fever made itself severely
felt was 1870; on August 13, of that
year it was discovered on Governor S
Island. From that time until the 10Th
of the following October it remained
in and around New York; 159 cases
we're reported, ffty-two 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.
1t is said to be a curious fact about
yellow fever that it does not appear to
be contagious disease. DR.. Janeway
and many prominent physicians are Of
this opinion. They say that it is of
germinal growth; that yellow fever is
itself a living organism. 1t thus
forms a boundary line between conta-
gious and non contagious diseases its
poison is not generated in the human
system, but externally. 1t not only
attacks persons exposed to the infect
ed place, but under unknown circum-
stances may be transported in vessels,
trunks, railway cars, etc., from point
to point, aud turned loose to propa-
gate. Like cholera, it occasionally
assumes a migratory character, travel
ing over great extent of country, and
not unfrequently breaking through
the most rigid quarantine. In these
migrations it seems to have a pre-
scribed 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.

Dubuque uowa) Herald.
An episode in the career of two
well known young ladies is too good to
keep. They reside in the upper part
of the city, and are fond of riding
and may be seen on Main street al
most any day in a buggy, driving
down one side and up the other
being delighted with being the oh
served of all observers, The other
day they took it into their heads tC
drive out to the banks of the MaQuo-
keta. Tying their horse under an
umbrageous tree, the society damselS
sought the declining bank of the
river, and seated themselves upon the
velvet grass, fearless of snakes or ol
Intrusion. They amused themselves
awhile by throwing pieces of wood
and pebbles, when Miss H. proposed
to Miss S. that they go in bathing.
The day was hot and sultry, and the
proposition met with favor. They
sought retired spot, hid by hanging
branches, where they disrobed them
selves, and were soon up to their
waists in the cool water, splashipg one
another in playful mood While they
were thus innocently plunging about
in the classic Maquoketa, they were
not aware that young rural geutle-
man was revelinG in ~ che beauty Of
their charms or that he saw them
disrobe. But such was the case.
Two piles of muslin and lace, like
small hillQeks, were on the bank OF
the stream, and some distance from
the shallow place where " Undine and
Slntram were toying with one
another, To remove the hillooks OF
lace and muslin was the work of a
moment, The wicked thought en-
tered che mind Of Che amorous young
man, and in a twinkling the theft was
committed. The young ladies found
themselves sans drawers, sans chem
Use, sans skirts, sans dresses. Here
was a plight Two beautiful girls in

for the buggy. There was a lap-robe
there. That would answer immediate
purposes, as like the ostrich, their
heads and faces could be covered
hoping that the villain would relent
and return their clothing. Miss s.
was becoming unnerved. Miss H.,
while going for the lap-robe, found a
white pettieoat and black overskirt
which the thief had dropped in his
fight. The girls soon got into them,
and tearing the lap-robe in two pieces,
they arrayed themselves in primitive
style. They then got into the buggy
and drove toward the city, remaining
in the grove until Luna shed her fair
light upon the scene, and under whose
pale glimmer the young ladies sought
their homes and mammas.

Discovery Ora Wrecked Steamer.

SAN Francisco, August 5.-Some
parties in this city who have been
working up the case for some time
past have discovered the wreck of the
steamer Brother jonathan, which
foundered off Point St. George, near
Crescent City, in July, 1865. She
lies in an upright position in twenty
two fatboms Of water, about fifty
fathoms from a submerged rock, on
which she is supposed to have struck.
There was about enc million dollars
in treasury notes and bullion in her
safe, and the finders are fitting out an
expedition for its recovery. The
treasure belonged to the government,
whose claim to hold lapsed on the ex-
piration Of ten days after the loss.

Prince bismarck and Count Won
MOltke.
A correspondent of the London
Times thus describes the appearance
of these two great men during the
taking Of the vote by which the new
protective tariff was passed in the
German parliament. The vote was
2l7 to III, the majority for the tariff
being exactly 100: THE vote was
then taken by each member respond
ing "ja" or main, to the president as
he called out their names, with the
result already stated.
Prince Bismarck was present and
in the best of moods. Defeated at the
beginning of the session over the odi
GUS muzzle measure, he has now sue
ceeded in yanquishing his foes and
securing victory on all points. While
the vote was being taken his highness
sat waiting for the end on the raised
seat occupied by the federal council,
full in front OF all the house. an
arrangement which makes the Ger
man parliament like crowded court
with the judges sitting in banco. The
prince leans back in his chair, and,
throwing one leg ever the other, com
placently slaps the sole of his right
foot with his left hand, or playfdlly
tilts up his sword and topsy-turvies
the papers on the table before him.
And Moltke, who is standing imme-
diately below, seeing that his great
companion in renown is not employed,
mounts the few steps leading to the
princes side-his sword hilt becoming
entangled in the rail and slightly
impeding his ascent-to offer his sin.

attraction that should give it a vast
circulation.
A sad affair occurred a few even
ings ago. Two men, Fitzp Patrick
and Ryan, laborers, having little too
much alcohol inside their vests got
into quarrel, and while tusseling,
fell over the approach to Clark street
bridge into the river and were
drowned.
A sensation of no ordinary charac-
ter has been created here lately by a
son of ex-senator Patterson Of South
Carolina. He arrived here with let
ters of introduction from the heads of
the highest branches of the govern
ment at Washington, and was at once
taken into the bosoms of the collector
of the port, the assistant treasurer,
the commissioner, the postmaster and
the marshal. He also put up at the
palatial Palmer House, and in every
other way surrounded himself with
luxuries, Next in order he became
short, and borrowing money was in
order. This was accomplished with
grand flourish by spouting" dia-
monds Of value with his distinguished

Now that the yellow fever is attract
ing much attention in the city, it may
be interesting to trace its history in
this country. The record of its out
breaks are imperfect up to l7a3 At
that time, after spreading through
nearly every Southern town, it reached
Philadelphia, and extended as far
north as Quebec. The fever contin
ued epidemic until 1905. In 1917 It
appeared again in the gulf towns; and
then in several following years attack
ed every Southern town along the
gulf and Southern Atlantic, reaching
New York in the terrible epidemic Of
1922. An interval then occurred in
its ravages until 1850. Starting in
January of that year at Rio de Janeiro,
il moved gradually porthward until il
reached Mobile in 1853, and Philadel-
phia and New York in 1856. From
