Physicians in Memphis advise all persons
who can leave that city to do SO; and this
in the face of many doubts as to the spread
OF the disease, and even declarations that
all the present excitement is a mere 'scare'
and that there is really no fever in the
place. Crowds OF the people appreciate
the wisdom of the advice and are acting
upon it, and flight is the uppermost thought
of the hour. River boats are overburdened
loaded. Cool and we'll considered depar-
ture, rather than hasty. panic-stricken flight,
is what is now on foot. Commercial and
industrial establishments are making
changes that will be permanent, and oil the
railway lines are constructing schedules TO
go into operation at the hour when it will
be necessary to cut the connection with
Memphis. Indeed. with the expe-
rience of last year fresh in men,
DRY, every one concerned is ready to
take the alarm, AMI the probability is that
Memphis will find itself abandoned as u
plague-stricken city while it has yet very
short death-roll. One of the things that is
1uthSi dSuiAoo ~ 10 WIG ChoiHCtAO III
of Memphis physician that its sanitary
condition is now very good. It's position
is unfortunate either way as to this subject;
for if it's sanitary condition has not been
improved since last year such criminal
negligence gives evil augury for the good
will of the authorities; while if it's condi-
ton as to sewerage and related facts has
been greatly improved, and yet despite such
improvement the fever comes upon the peo-
pie afresh, this seems to imply that the place
cannot be so cleaned as to be made healthy
With the poor, the idle and the dissolute
left to themselves by the flight of all the
other portions of the population, there will
certainly be scarcely limit to the ravages
of the fever, and the indiscriminate STAN
pede may therefore prove an important ag-
gravation of the evil fate of the city. Phil
adelphia also has yellow fever ut its doors,
as the news columns will show, but it can
not be considered as at all possible that the
disease will spread. 1t is at our own doors
every year, but does not get by our vigilant
guardians. In our northern climate the
poison Of this disease does not possess that
energetic activity that makes it's control by
quarantine extremely troublesome in lower
latitudes.

Prince Napoleon has defined his position
in an address delivered to delegation of
Bonapartists who waited upon him in order
to furnish an occasion for this purpose.
He declares himself the head of the Bona
partist family and dynasty, but not pre-
tender to the throne of France--not now,
at least. He must be allowed to ''choose
his time and wait the course of events" 1t
is the duty of Frenchmen to support the
Republic and to continue to support it
until by some misconduct it forteits the
national confidence, and then imme-
diately Bonaparte will be neces-
sary and will, of course, be handy.
This is Bonapartism playing dead
for strategic purposes. In this declara-
ton, however, there is glimmer of pur-
pose. Even the first Napoleon was a SOL
der of the public and could pirate his faith
in democratic principles just as Plon-Plon
did. 1t is not without sagacity Tor the
Prince to be republican at the period
when the chances of the Empire are utterly
hopeless, for this does not prevent but
implies the assertion of a Napoleonic
remedy Tor the evils that shall dis
turb the country when the republi-
can system goes to pieces, as all the
kinglings fancy it must in little while
Perhaps this policy now declared by the
head OF the Napoleons has opened gulf
between him and all the imperialists, who
want an emperor, right or wrong, and it may
be that this has driven that branch over to
the camp of those pretenders OF the house
of Orleans, who meet in Geneva to-day for
some purpose not yet made known. We
give in the HERALD to-day history of this
family, which now comes once more promi-
nently forward in French agitations as pos
sessing available and ready candidates for
q throne.

The Zulu War.

Much has been said about peace with
Cetywayo in the dispatches of Lord
Chelmsford, but no peace is agreed upon
yet, and the British army has reached the
imm ediate neighborhood of Ulundi, and
Cetywayo, with an army, is not far from
there. Sir Garnet Wolseley has telegraphed
from the seat of war that he believes the
war can be finished this season, so that he
seems to be almost as sanguine as Lord
Chelmsford, though his judgment is, per-
haps, a somewhat safer one on this very
important point. Nobody yet really
knows whether Cetywayo actually wants
peace, or whether, in the spirit of the time
honored strategy OF savage princes, he has
merely talked peace to gain time and wear
out his enemy's patience. If he should
find out how badly the English want peace,
and how desperately anxious they are to
make peace on any terms that can be held
up to the world with shout OF triumph, he
would fight shy of all propositions. We
are not confident in the sincerity of his
peaceful temper. Much of it seems to
have grown out of the imagination
of his would-be conquerors. All the stories
of his difficulties have apparently similar
origin. Any false step in the advance OF
the British forces that might give the saw
ages half chance will afford thorough
test of their disposition. If they neglect o
chance to fall upon the English force,
caught at disadvantage, they certainly
want peace but the English have happily
not yet afforded the opportunity tor such
a test. In the absence of such chance it
is possible that Cetywayo may have in
store another surprise for his enemies. He
will scarcely let them force him to battle,
and when they fancy they have him close
in corner at Ulundi they may hear of him
crossing the Tugela into Natal. He already
has q small force in that direction, and he
could move his whole army there, live on
the country and give the English plenty of
travelling.

General Grant and the Panama

Friends Of General Grant-officious
from Washington that the General will
not accept the presidency of the Panama
Canal Company, which M. de Lesseps in
tends, according to authentic reports, to
offer him. He does not agree with M. de
Lesseps, these officious friends of his give
out. How do they know?
The truth is that there are several canal
projects, and the ambitious authors of
these projects incline to oppose each other.
M. de Lesseps, however is practical man !;
he dug only one canal ; he is about raising
money to dig another, and he has
learned enough to be very certain
to take the best route, whichever
that may be. Persons who oppose him
would probably like to commit General
Grant against him; but the General is also
practical engineer, and is not likely to
oppose M. de Lesseps, at least until he
knows what this gentleman has decided on.
1t is our belief that when M. de Lesseps
formally offers General Grant the presI-
dency OF the interoceanic canal CON-
pany he will at least give so important
and honorable an offer careful considera-
ton, and will not refuse it unless he shall
see clearly that the plan is not PRACTICAL;
and he will not come to that conclusion on
mere hearsny. Moreover, the desire
which it is known he has long felt
to have 30 great an undertaking
proceed under American auspices would
predispose him to accept SO conspicuous
and honorable share in it as this which
his pretended friends fippantly refuse for
him from Washington.

Our record of tenement house observa-
tons is continued to-day The doctors are
making their annual summer visit to the
tenement houses of the city, with the special
object OF discovering and helping sick chill
dren who are without medical care. Enough
is developed in these timely visits to show
that many Of these buildings are in u bad
condition, and that some, which might other
wise be decent residences, are subjected to
removable nuisances whose existence proves
neglect OF duty somewhere. In Mulberry
street, for instance. an open drain in back
yard causes a ioul odor to pervade every
room in two buildings. In u second case
mules stable becomes an unbearable nuis-
ance through neglect in cleaning it out;
while in a third a closet vault is found in
fecting the whole neighborhood, and in
auiry produces the information that it has
been emptied twice in five years.
1t is difficult task to enforce cleanliness
on the residents of the lower class of tene-
ment houses. But the law can do much,
and especially it can compel compliance
with it's provisions on the part of landlords
and owners OF this description Of property.
Last session law was passed which the
people were assured would effect thorough
reform in our tenement house system and
secure pure air, good ventilation and the
blessing OF light TO all the tenement house
population. The enforcement of its provi-
sions is made mandatory, and the authori-
ties are clothed with extraordinary powers
To carry the law into execution. What has
been done under this statute to secure any
practical improvement in any existing tepe-
ment buildingg Evidently there is ample
room for its operation.
