from patches Of ten acres or more we are
strongly inclined to the belief that Mr.

The terrific screaming that was heard
all over the city about 0 o'clock, last night
may be charged to the account Of negro
woman whom Schuckers and bunker were
escorting to the Jail. She was brought
from her home, near the corner of Sixth
and Commercial, and fought and screamed
the whole distance, biting finger of one
officers quite severely She was arrested
for fighting her husband. AS she was not
drunk, the shrieking can be charged to no
other account than that of pure cussedness.
The Chicago Times inveighs heavily
and forciby against wooden pavements as
agents for the creation and maintenance of
poisonous fumes that are not only terribly
destructive of young life; but are a con-
slant invitation to such epidemics as vel
low fever. What is true of the Chicago
wooden pavemcnts, is true, to less extent,
of the Cairo sidewalks that rest upon the
ground. The decaying woods, combined
with animal and vegetable matter that ac-
cumulates under the walks, are exceedingly
obnoxious to health.

The Board of Health held meeting
yesterday, and raised the quarantine. The
following resolution, which we regard a
very timely and sensible one, was intro
duced by Alderman Patier, and adopted
by the Board by unanimous vote; Re
solved that competent person be employed
in each ward to make thorough and sys-
tematic inspection of all lots, outhouses, and
premises in the city, to report the results of
their exam nation to the Mayor, and to no.
tify all persons that they must thoroughly
cleanse and disinfect such places as may be
held not to be in good sanitary condition.
The impression that the Memphis
Towards never published a detailed state
ment of their receipts and expenditures
during the yellow fever epidemic of 1873,
is erroneous. The publication was made,
in tedious detail, and we have not heard it
objected that the exhibit was faulty in any
particular. The apprehension that the
North will again be called upon to lend a
helping hand TO the South has excited in
quiry in that regard, and We are glad to be
able to state that the Towards of Memphis,
and as far as we know, OF the whole South,
exhibit clean palms.
Two colored women, Julia Jones and
Mary Lee commenced quarreling Monday
morning. and, with an occasional exchange
of billets of stove wood, kept up the quar-
rel until noon, when the police being in
formed of the racket, admonished the lratc
pair to keep quiet or they should be ar
rested And then quiet reigned IN that
Warsaw until IL o'clock Monday night,
when Julia and Mary again came to the
scratch. The same epithets and like
missiles were used until the neighbors again
complained, when the police took the i'll
conditioned pair under arrest, and yester-
day, Squire Robinson fined them, each $,

The outgoing passenger train Sunday
evening, with Dad Lcavit in charge Of the
engine, ran a over negro woman at Villa
Ridge, and tore her all to pieces. The wo-
man was seen on the track and was duly
notified Of the coming Of the train by all
the usual signals; but seemed to be rooted
to the spot in which she stood, making no
observable effort to save herself. The
engine was promptly reversed and the
brakes whistled down, but it was impossi'
BILE to check up in time to avoid the catas'
j.. trophc. The woman was knocked down
: horribly mangled and killed, outright,
e The train stopped, and remained on the
r ground for sometime. The woman was a
