The Yellow Fever.

When we went to press last week
our latest dispatches indicated that
the yellow fever at Memphis had
disappeared. Almost Immediately
afterwards new cases were reported,
and now it is evident that nothing
but killing frost will lift the tu-
neral pail which for months must
hang over that unfortunate city.
Among the thousand terrible fea-
lures of this fearful plague is the
now accepted fact, that where its
deadly virushas oncefastened itself
not even the ice of winterc antreeze
out it's fatal poison. ltis clear that
the pestilence of to-day in Memphis
was not imported there, and that it
is simply the termination OF the
seeds of death sown by the
epidemic of last year. The lesson
taught thereby is the necessity OF
the immediate destruction by fire,
or the publication by boiling water,
of every particle ofclothing touched
by yellow fever patient, and the
immediate and thorough disinfec-
ton of everything else infected by
the plague. More than this, a ne
cessity will remain for the rigorous
enforcement, commencing early in
the spring, of cleanlinessin the pub
lie and private premises OF every
city, village and neighborhood,
which have been visited by the pes
thence. IF these precautions do
not secure exemption from a reap
pearance of yellow fever, they will
undoubtedly destroy the present
malignant character of the disease,
and render it comparatively harm
less. 1t is notorious that impure
atmosphere not only breeds disease,
butintensifes its malignancy. The
rigid cleanliness enjoined by the
Mosaic law was not only typical OF
moral purity, but was designed to
promote the physical health and
strength of the chosen people OF
God; and in all ages the Israelites,
as a race, have been noted for then
exemption from physical disease.

A Discrimination

The new constitution provides
that the district judges shall be
elected by the people, except in the
parish of Orleans, where they shall
be appointed by the Governor. The
N. o. Democrat complains, and we
think justly, of this discrimination
between the country and city
judges. lit Isl as true as remarkable
that, Notwithstanding there is prob
ably as much selfish political wire
working in New Orleans as in any
other city of its size, the district
judges in that city, elected 10y the
people, are almost invariably men
of marked ability and high judicial
integrity. The people of New Or,
leans are just as competent and
just as disposed to elect able and
good judges as are the people OF
the country parishes. We are in
clined to think an appointive supe-
rior to an elective Judiciary system,
but if the country is to elect its dis
trict judges, New Orleans should
have the same privilege. We have
frequently expressed our 'disap-
pfovalofa amy litiealmeasuretend-
ing to array one section ofthe State
against another, and we regret this
provision Of Cur new constitution is
calculated to array the city against
the country on future questions Of
politics. 1t viii require very little
dissension in democratic ranks to
enable the republican party to re
gain control of our State govern
ment. We must beunited and vie
torious, or divided and defeated.

q.
On the night of the 10Th inst. at a
ball or party given at Q private residenrs
near Church Point, q terrible difiicultv
occurred between the Messrs. Child
and Messrs. Hornsby, supposed to bavs
grown out of an old feud existing IA.
tween the two families for several wears
I CLEAN the following from an eye-wit
ness of the difficulty:
The melee opened by MIR. Jobu
Hornsby aud Mr.. Louis Ghilds having
fist-fight, and while these two com.
batants were satisfying their anger
there occurred another horrible. ain.
Guilty between Mr.. Leonard Hornsby
and Mr.. Alexander Childs, which ended
in the latter being killed.
This combat is one of the most shock.
ing ON record. These two ,comhatants
settled their difficulty, one with a knife
aud ihe other with q pistol.
Hornsby drew pistol and fired at
his adversary, missing him. Childs
rushed upon Hornsby, seized hold Of
,fhe pistol, and succeeded In wrenchinc
it from the hands of Hornsby. and at
the same tune inflicted several wounds
on the person of Hornsby in or near
the lungs.
At tins move of his adversary Horns.
by pulled another pistol from his peck
ct and gave Childs the contents lust
above the eye, the ball passing Through
and out of the back of his head, killing
him instantly.
After Young Childs fell, his brother,
who was fighting John Hornsby, and
who it is said gained the victory, at
tackled the other Hornsby and succeed
ed in driving both from the field Of
battle.
Mr.. John Hornsby and Mr.. Lonis
Childs came out of the difficulty very
little injured, but the wounds received
by Mr.. Leonard Hornsby are eonsider-
ed very fatal, and the supposition is
that he will expire before morning
lhe aff,tir has caused q great deal Of ey-
element both in Church Point and
other parts of ST. Landry.

at Opelika. Monday night, In which lie
shot Alexander Reed and mort,Illy
wounded him, the bah entering the All

1T is said the difficulty originated from
the fact that Grasty some time since
sedueed Miss Carrie Reed, ssihe daugli-
ter, and TO save disgrace an. abortion
followed. The scandal came to the
ears of fhe father, by the diving declu-
ration of his wife, who knew the factsin

Grasty with knives, and found him at
hotel where the shooting took place.
Grasty was arrested and held in eusto-

A Husbands Explanation.

If is a Fact that has been noticed and
commented upon time out of mind, that
many husbands neglect those little atten-
tons and marks of atfecten of which
they are so lavish during tier courtship.
There Is reason for custom which.
though reprehensible in the abstract, has
the sanction of all but universal practice,
and 1t becomes duty of the philoso-
pher to see INTO and expound it. Perhaps II
is best illustrated by an anecdote which
was told Causeur by friend, whose life,
by the way, manifested her deep displeas-
ure in very decided terms while he was
elating it. 1t seems that ON Columbia
venue there dwclls welded pair who
were made one last fall. No knight OF
old was more devoted to his ''fair ladye"
than was the husband during the honey
moon and the moon that folloae ed it. But
ere the third moon had aned, the wife
noted-or thought she noted, no doubt ii
was fancy-a change. AS time passed
On, it became still more apparent. Her
husband was LOVING, of course, but some
how there was "a lack of the old ardor,
there was falling in the ola demon
stIatlveness. This troubled her, and wo-
mani e. she vas quick to conclude that
his love for her had cooled. One even
ing, after thinking the matter oven
all day, she broke out with,
You don't love me any more" "What
makes you think 500" he asked in bust
ness-like way, scarcely lifting his eyes
from the book which he was reading.
Because" she sebbed, "you never pet
me any more, and you are not half 50 at
tentivc as you used to be-" And then
she broke down into regular cry. The
husband saw that something must be
done. Laying aside his book, and re-
grettully relinquIshing his cigar-a man
does hate to be disturbed when once set
tied for the evening-he vent to his
weeping wife and led her to the window
my DER" he said, 'do you see at
horse-car coming up the avenue" 81
do" she sobbed. 'And do you see that
man running to catch it?'' "Yes, dear,
what of it2 And do you see he is
straining every nerve, that he is shouting
to the conductor at the top OF his voice,
and doing his best to make the car stop3
IL do, y said his v life, whose curiosity was
aroused, shut what on earth has that to
do "One moment, my dear. Look
again. Do you observe that he has
caught the car, and that he is no longer
running, but is probably quietly seated
inside taking rest. He has got through
shouting and running because he has
caught the car. Now, my dear, at this
point he kissed away her tears-''it is
just so with me. l have caught the car.
And with that the self satisfied monster
led his wife back to her seat on the sofa,
and silently resumed his easy chair and
book
