The Yellow Fever.

The most important question of the near future is whether yellow fever will return this summer No greater misfor-
 tune could befall the country, North as we'll as South, than the reappearanc ) with the hot weather of the dreaded pes
 tiience. It is said to be an axiom oi Southern hygiene, established by pre- cedent, that the yellow fever is never epidemic for two successive seasons. But the epidemic oflast year demolished many theories that had come to be re- garded as axioms by the medical pro- fession. It invaded localities and at tackled classes of people that, by theory and precedent, should have been exempt from it's ravages. It manifested itself in new symptoms and under modified forms, baff1ing experience and requiring new systems of treatment, and this to such degree that there has been considera- ble doubt as to the identity of tho fever of 1878 with the yellow fever of the past. If the cities of the South rely upon pr, cedent 10 protect them from the plague this summer, and neglect to take all san itary precautions possible, they will make deplorable mistake. One thing is certain The yellow fever cannot be barred out from our territory by any amount of Congressional Legislation

An Old Friend Found.

There transpired on the public square in Dallas, Texas, local paper says, an episode which we think is of sufficient interest to be honored in type. A coun- tryman had brought to the city and offered for sale horse, informing the crowd that he was compelled to dispose of the animal. Just then a gentleman stepped forward and took good look at the creature. After he had finished he quietly remarked, "I want that horse. " He accordingly bid $15, and continued to steadily raise each other until it was knocked down to him at $31. Some of the crowd laughed at his bargain, but he held his peace until he had paid his money and received the bill of sale. He then vouchsafed the simple statement, CT rode that horse during the war. 5 A ConanaerciaL man, who happened to be one of the lookers-on, at once inter- rogated him upon the matter. He stated that his name was Charles Lindsley, and that he was native of Nicholas County, Ky. During the war he was a member of Captain Lee Hathaway E company, which served under Morgan at the battle of Cynthiana, Ky. "I was riding that identical animal you see standing there, and both I and my horse was wounded. Come, I will show you the place where he was struck" He walked to the head of his purchase, and. looking closely, found what appeared tc be faint scar on the left side of his neck. "Now," said he, "to show you that am not wrong in my opinion that he is my horse will call him by name, and I'll bet that he recognizes it. " ''Sor' rel Joe," said he, and sure enough the intelligent animal pricked his ears as il he fully understood the name. MT. Lindsley says that when he was wound ed in the fight he was taken to the real and that somehow his faithful horse was left behind. From that time until now he has never seen his dumb companion of that hard-fought campaign. How he eyer got there is question, the coun tryman having bought him from a per son in this city. MT. Lindsley says nc money could get the creature from him He is going to take him to his place 1T this county and keep him in comfort the remainder of his days.

An Invention in WaltZing.

, Olive Logan in one of her letters writes s'I heard of a rather amusing reply given the other evening at ball by an American girl in London society, who had strayed away from the ball. room. Her mother subsequently, dis covered her in & remote nook with a gentleman, who had his arm around her waist, while she rested the tips of her pretty little fingers on his manly shoul- der. Daughter, what's all this ? ex- claimed the irate mamma. The daughter looked up calmly, and replied: 'Mam- ma, allow me to introduce Captain X. to you. I had promis ed him dance, but was so tired that couldn't keep my word, and Pm giving him sitting still waltz instead, "

Furnishing tine Nihilists.

ASt. Petersburg correspondent writes : "Five Russian Nihilists concerned in the recent discovery of the printing presses at St. Petersburg have been ban ished to the island of Saghallen. in the Pacific, which is destined to become the New Caledonia of Russia. All of these were officers in the Imperial Guards, and one only was below the rank of cap- tain. The prisoners were removed from the fortress of St. Peter and Paul last Sunday at midnight, each having cov- cred vehicle to himself, and each being guarded by three gendarmes, armed with sabres and revolvers. It will take the party about four months to reach Nikolaevsk, on the Amoor, where man. of-war will be in readiness to convey the exiles across the Gulf of Tartary to Sag halien. All the way to the Pacific the convoy will be guarded by Cossacks. It is believed that before long other patches of Nihilists will be treated in the same manner, as the number in cus- tody is so large that the government does not know what to do with them. In the two prisons at Kharkhof-the Borisoglebsk and the Central Criminal the actual number of inmates is 1920, besides 200 more in a private dwelling recently fitted up as house of deten- tion. Of this number, very large pro portion are suffering for political crimes. I What to do with them is the question which is seriously perpIexing the Im- perial government. It does Lot care to try them in public. If it sends them to Ural Siberia they constantly evade their guards and return home or else dissemi- nate Nihilist notions among the other exiles. In the meanwhile the authori- ties are bringing them everywhere to court-martial, and officials affirm that very large patches will be shortly despatched to Saghalien as the simplest gay out of the dilemma"

 hibitory for most people. A few years ago, when American apples were hardly known here, an ordinary quality of homegrown apple could seldom be had under ten cents a pound-say $4 bushel-in their season, and such as were really not fit for human food at all sold to the poor at fully $2 bushel. French and American apples have changed this very much, but they are still very high. Probably nine-tenths of all the apples now in the market are American. For sound apples, 8 minimum price is now $2.25 or $2 50 8 bushel. None except those that are more or less damaged can be had under these figures. I am giving here merely the price of sound apples, not of fancy or selected fruit. Ordinary sound strawberries in their season are con- sidered cheap at fifteen to twenty cents a pound, and prime ones are never less than twenty-five cents a pound-more often thirty cents. The most ordinary small fruits-such as gooseberries- seldom less than ten cents pound.
 Peaches are grown in hot houses only, and the same is true of tomatoes. A few come from France. Their prices are entirely out of reach of any except the rich.. The past year, however, has seen tie introduction of canned tomatoes at very moderate prices indeed. They
 come from the United States. Grapes
 seldom ripen in the open air. The few that are grown in England are grown 1T
 hot houses. Most of the grapes useG here are imported. Sound imported grapes are never to be had under fiftee1 cents pound, and twenty cents buy only a medium quality. English ho house grapes are considered grea delicacy. These are never to be had a less than fifty or sixty cents a pound and even seventy-fve cents ponnd i very common.
 England cannot be called country o low prices. It is country of low wages truly, but of very dear food.

An Illinois Fashion.

The latest fashion in bed-clothes is that which an Illinois man is trying to set to his neighbors. His lodgings are on the cold ground in the back yard at- tached to his house. When bed time comes he lies tlown on the ground along side of big pile of earth. From this pile his faithful man-servant shovels earth over him until nothing bat his head remains exposed. In this condi- tion the infatuated man remains until the man servant comes along in the morning to dig him out. Nothing more truly rural has been known in the way of beds and bedding since Nebuchad- nezzar went to grass. That unhappy monarch slept without cover and was vet with the dew. The Illinois man's device is great improvement on Neb's way of roughing it. Yet the new fashion has its objections. The man who is thus put to bed would be at great dis advantage in case of an alarm of fire, especially if the fremen ran their en. zines through the premises where he sleeps, or undertake to carry hose over the back fences. And then what il dogs or pigs should attempt to scratch up or root in the ground adjacent to his head? Or suppose the midnight cats take their stand on the mound of which he is 8 part, and carry on their GUS tomary nocturnal controversies Or il he slumber till after the neighborine hens awaken from their repose and ii aroused by the clawing of those indus trious birds around his ears and nose
 The Illinois enthusiast may guard agains disease, but cats, pigs. dogs and alarms of fire are worse than some of the dis eases he may avoid. Give us geot bed, in comfortable room, with cover let's of the old style, and the Illinois man may sleep where he pleases. We suspect that his fashion will not be ex | tensiyely followed.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The House Committee on Education and Labor, after briefly discussing the joint resolution introduced in the House by Representative Goode, of Virginia, on the 21st ult., providing for the en- fercement of the Eight Hour law, in- structed that gentleman to report the same to the House, with recommends tion that it do pass. The bill consti- tutes eight hours days labor for all laborers and mechanics employed by the Government.
 The bill agreed on by the joint Democlatic caucus committee and intro duced into the House is as follows: A BILL to prevent military interference with elections:
 Whereas, The use of troops at the polls is 1 contrary to the spirit of our institutions and | the traditions of our people; therefore, | Be a enacted, &c., That so much of sections | 2,0O2 and 5.528 and so much of all other laws | and parts of laws as authorize or allow the use of the army and navy of the United States at the place where any general or special cleo ton is being held, be and the same are hereby | repealed.
 A proviso is added to the effect that nothing contained in the act shall affect the meaning of the act of 1795, which provides for the manner in which the President shall respond to call from a State for troops to put down iusurrec- ton or domestic violence.

CaIifOrnIa's New Constitution.

A few provisions of the new Constitu- tion of o alifornia will go into effect upon the Fourth of July next, but the mass of it does not become law until Janu- ary 1, 1880. After that day, it will be unlawful for any corporation organized under the laws of the State to employ @ Chinaman in any capacity, directly or indirectly, and unlawful also for An Sin to be employed upon any public work, whether of the State, or of any county or city, except as a convict. All contracts for cooiy labor, formed after that date, will be void, and all contracts for the importation of such labor are made un- lawful. The Legislature will proceed to delegate to the cities and towns all the necessary authority for the removal of the Chinese from the municipal limits, or to confne them within certain quar- ters of the cities and towns. The Leg islature is even directed to prohibit the introduction of Chinese into the State. There is plenty of work for the courts in these provisions.
 The lot of the poor Mongolian will be hard one under the new Constitution of California. A letter from MT. David A. Wells shows the system of taxation the new law will 1naugurate. During the year 1880, all adults, male and fe male, capable of holding property which means about one half of the popu 1ation of California--will be required
 make out under oath 8 statement of al their property, including-if the law ii strictly enforced-the very clothes the. wear while making it. Merchants vii
 be taxed both on their cargoes and thei
 bills of lading; receipt for grain vii
 be taxed, and the grain also; a lease hold will be taxed, and the land also
 The tax-gatherer will lay heavy han' on corporations, and will pass by indi vidual capitalists engaged in precisel.,
 the same business. Corporate capita is taxed over and over again, and yet curiously enough, the mortgage virtual ly escapes through the clumsiness of tn attempt made to ovcr-tax it.

beef very universally sells at sixteen cents pound. It comes mostly from Chicago and St. Louis.
 Eggs are mostly imported from France and Ireland. It is hard to get them ab- solutely new. If the dealer can warrant them to be absolutely new he may alwa get four cents apiece for them. The ordinary eggs, which are called "fresh," but which are really not so, commonly sell at about 30 cents or 35 cents a dozen. Butter is also mostly imported from France and Ireland, and there is the same uncertainty about get. ting it fresh, or in fact getting what is really butter at all, as in the case oi eggs. Probably more than three-fourths of the so-called "butter" is not real butter. This sells at all prices from 25 l cents to 35 cents pound. None can be bought under 40 cents at any time in the year that is fit to be eaten. Anything that can lay the least claim to being real English "farm butter" sells at 50 cents a pound and upward. Foreign cheese, mostly American, has fairly flooded the country in the last few years. Ordinary prime English cheese still sells at about 25 cents pound but people are dis covering that the American article, which can be had at about IS cents, is just as good. The universal price for milk is about 10 cents quart, but it is almost universally much diluted with water.
