A Yellow Fever Romance.

Last year when the epidemic was
raging in Memphis, among the Gin
cinnati physicians who rendered their
services and lives to Health Officer
Minor WAS young DR. Collins, Of this
city, an unusual bright and intelIec-
tual man, who was making a precari-
oas living at his practice, not through
lack of ability, for Of that he had
abundance, but from the lack of pa
tients.
His services together with those of
FIVE Others, were accepted, and On a
certain evening they all went to the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad depot to
take the $50 train for the South.
Young Collins, in taking leave Of the
Health officers, who had gone down
to see the little band off, said Doc
tor | Will either make reputation iu
Memphis or never come home again.
He arrived in that city, and reporting
to the Howard Associa lion for duty,
was given an assignment in part of
the town where the disease was carry
ing the people off by the score.
Among Others that he attended was
the family of Of a wealthy planter,
He was successful in bringing the
children through the Sickness one Of
whom was beautiful and intelligent
young lady.
Within short time the Doctor him
self, worn down by unceasing labor,
was snlitten with the scourge, and
lay tossing feverishly in small room.
The young lady. hearing the circum>
stance, went to the house and nursed
him tenderly through his illness.
1t is almost needless to say by this
time the youthful paIr became mutu-
ally attached, a proposal and accep-
t;ince followed, to which consent was
unhesitatingly given by the parents.
They were afterward married, the
father investing his new son-in-law
with handsome interest inshis large
plantation. DIR. Collins is now one Of
the rising young physicians of Mem-
phis, and is the efficient Secretary of
its Board of eaith.-Ciacpu,ati- Com
DIercial.

POLITICAL soUNDINGs.
From the Philadelphia Press, Rep.

The anti-Tilden Democracy in Pennsy /
vania intend to bring out PenDsylvani;
candidate. Some prefer Gen. Hancock
others Judge Black, while few adhere
to the policy OF nominating Senator Bay
ard OF Delaware. This programme is &
shrewd dodge of Senator Wallace. who
while on direct issue unable to defeat
Illden IN convention, can readily do SO
| by setting up nominal candidate whose
delegates he can afterward manipulate
The dodge has not the merit of novelty
| but under the circumstances is adroit
Thus he may outwit Mr.. Speaker Randall
who is fully committed to MIR. Tilden's
interests and hopes to be able to further
them By giving him in convention the vote
of Pennsylvania.
From the Detroit Free Press
The sentiment of the regular Democrats
of Massachusetts with respect to the
presidential nomination next year was
indicated In the reception of a remark
made by the Hon. 2. A. Collins, one of the
delegates at large to the national conven-
zion. Mr. Collins, who, by the way, has
been reported sas Bayard man,
said that the Democratic party of Mas
sachusetts was broad enough for the
los, 900 men that voted for Samuel j. Til
den in 1876. and who will vote for him in
1880. The mention of Tilden's name was
the signal of enthu siastic applause, which
broke out afresh before the sentence was
completed. and at its completion the ap-
plause was prolonged.
From the Philadelphia Times.

which calls itself the Jeffersonian Demo
cracy, and it has just held a state conven-

From the Jackson Miss Clarion.
1t is announced with great flourish of
trumpets that Solon Chase and Gen.
Weaver are on the way to Mississippi TO
participate in the canvass, and a list of
appointments has been made for them.
We hope that these gentlemen, who have
taken upon themselves the task of in
structing the people of this state how they
should vote, will first tell us how they
stood when the iron heel of military des-
potism was upon Mississippi; why we
heard no word of kindness from them
during the dark years in which we were
groaning under the oppression of the car
and their allies; how it hap
pens that at this late day, when Missis
sippi is in the hands Of her own sons. that
they take such sudden interest in her af-
fairs, and have made the discovery that we
do not know how to take care of ourselves.
When they have been heard upon these
subjects, we will be able better to appreci-
ate their advice as to who should be elect
ed members of our state legislature and to
