New Orleans Times: Though New
Orleans has not suffered from the
yellow fever this year, it has suffered
enormously from the results of u
groundlcss and silly apprehension of an
epidemic. The period for thc opening
Of the business season has already
arrived, and tho river landings ap-
pear abandoned. Much Of this mis-
fortune can be traced to the folly of
our official doctors. However, it is
possible that they were only affected
by an epidemic of fright, W. w.hich was
The result of last years terrible vista
tion. An old merchant made the re-
mark the other day that it always took
year to get over the scare. 'Ncxt

quarantine"

A District Ruled by au Amazon Queen,
Who Killed Her COwardly Spouse.

DIR. Leitner, the eminent linguist and
philologist, has just communicated to
the Civil and Military Gazette of India
translation of q narrative of travel
given to him by native of Kafirstan.
This man was body servant of thelate
Ameer for many years, including the
time when Shere Ali had yet to win the
throne of Afghanistan,a and it was during
this eventful period that the Kafr came
across modern edition of @ leen PEN
thcsilea. Having been ordered by his
master to fetch supply of dates from
Regi, town some 16 miles distant from
Herat, the messenger came across dis
trict ruled over by woman, whose
name was never allowed to be mention
ed. In addition to great personal at
fractions she claimed direct descent
from the hero, Rustam, nor did she
show much degeneracy from her re.
puted ancestry. For on one occasion
Gen. Feramorz Khan, himself Kafir
and the uncle of DIR. Leitner's inform
ant, paid her visit, with the view of
impressing camels for the service of
Shere Ali. Jumping on her horse and
carrying trusty spear in her hand the
Amazon Queen rode out to meet the
General, whom she informed that she
was ready to fight either the whole of
his masters forces or the Ameer him.
self in single combat should he prefer
that alternative. Feramorz Khan was
50 scared by her warlike demeanor that
he took himself off without
seizing a single camel, and the
plucky Queen was left untroubled for
the future. Perhaps it was just rs lucky
for SEere Ali that he did not accept the
challenge to personal combat, for the
dauntless lady was no mean proficient
in warike acts, being accustomed to
take prominent part at tent-pegging
and polo among the mobiles of her land.
When the Kair was staying at her fort
she was widow, having lately put her
husband to death by reason Of his be-
ing deficient in physical courage. 1t
was understood, however, that she
would be quite willing to change her
condition, and several of the neighbor-
ing chiefs had made her offers of mar
riage. But to one and all there was the
same fatal objection they were not
brave enough to come up to her idea of
what a husband should be. In addition
to being feminine Rustam in the field,
she cultivated the arts Of peace with a
thoroughness not usually found among
Oriental rulers. An energetic merchant
herself, with many thousands of camels
constantly carrying merchandise to and
from the outside world, she encouraged
her subjects to trade by suppressing da-
coffee and putting stop to kidnapping,
a favorite wickedness with the Afghans.
Altogether, almost as model a ruler as
the two Begums of Bhopal, past and
present.-Loasdoas Globe. ..,...,4 .,4...,....

The English Heir Apparent.

What goes to the making of King
of England in these days? The London
Truth, evidently in no unamiable mood,
sets forth the merits of the Heir Appar-
ent, and what are they? He is an early
riser, though he goes to bed late; he is
keen sportsman and a good shot; he
is fond of whist and dancing, an unlim-
ited consumer of tobacco, and the in
ventor of a popular drink called "lemon
and soda" The best that can be said
of this man destined to rule over the
greatest empire under the sun, with de-
tendencies in every quarter of the globe,
is that there is nothing bad about him.
Yet it is mnch that he free from the old
fashioned, savage vices of kings. If he
has the foibles of Henry the Eighth, he
is without his ferocities. If he likes
what George the Fourth liked, it is with
something of German phlegm, which
will keep him from insulting his SUBJ
jects. He is amiable, too, and not Civ
en- to falsehood, nor has he an over
weening appetite for personal power.
Upon the whole, he need give the En-
glish people no occasion for apprehen-
SiOn
