Wavering Of The Third Termers.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-There
have been reports here for some time
past that some Of the third term lead
ers, and notably Mr.. Don Cameron,
their chief, saw the danger of attempt
ing to force the ex.president on their
party and were talkingof withdrawing
his name from the canvass. To these
reports is now added a rumor that
Mr.. Cameron and those who are act
ing with him have resolved to adopt
Senator Edmunds as their candidate.
This rumor is sent you for what it
may be worth. 1t is not possible to
ascertain whether it is we'll or i'll
founded, but it has been remarked for
a week past that some of the ex-presi.
dents supporters have began to talk
very favorably of Senator Edmunds,
and there is no doubt that the third
term leaders have seriously considered
the ACCESSIBILITY of withdrawing the
ex-president's name. 1t is, moreover.
well established that Mr.. Don Cam
eron and those acting with him mean
to oppose the nomination of Mr..
Blaine in any contingency, and it is
understood here that they are hostile
to Mr.. Washburne, to whom the ex
president is also believed to be op-
posed, for some reason not definitely
known here, but which seems BY those
who assume to know to be thought
sufficiently strong to make the third
termers hostile to Mr.. Washburne's
nomination.

Typhoid fever is, of all diseases,
pre-eminently a filth disease, traceable
with as much certainty as fire from
smoke. Wherever it exists it points
unequivocally to unremoved filth, and
is a disease, therefore, altogether aud
wholly preventable by proper sanitary
measures. Notwithstanding, during
the census year of 1870 there were in
the United States 22,1S7 preventable
deaths from typhoid fever but had
there been the same ratio to the total
population Of the United States, as in
Philadelphia during the centennial
year, the mortality from this cause
would have been over thirty-seven
thousand. And this was far from
being all, as regards Philadelphia
All over the country fatal cases of
typhoid fever, aud other diseases near
ly allied to it, were attributable to
the centennial visitation, the neg
lected drainage, criminal insult
cheney of water closets and bad plumb
ing. These conditions so prominently
manifest al the centennial, and appar-
emily to an extraordinary degree in
Philadelphia even yet, as judged by
the prevalence of typhoid fever, are, of
all causes of mortality, the most Grim
final, because the most easily prevent
able. Universal experience attests
that water-closets inadequately pro-
vided with means for speedy and com
plete cleansing and aeration are pro-
life sources of typhoid fever and kin
dred affections in all temperate lati.
tudes, and, with prevailing high tenn
perature and moisture, of the still
more deadly disease, yellow fever.
And all the more dangerous are these
conditions because they are not infre-
quently the means of spreading that
disease to distant places. The exist
ence of typhoid fever or allied diseases
in any place is prima facie evidence
of filthy surroundings.

Cincinnati Commercial.l
The disreputable woman who has
been prowling around Washington
with a baby in her arms, and pretend
ing that Senator Hill is the father OF
the child, took the Ears yesterday for
home. The insinuation is made that
Hills friends paid the woman to 60,
but the probability is that the rascals
who put her up to mischief were
alarmed and helped her to take fight.
The reputation of the woman in
Georgia and her conduct in Washing
ton are sufficient. No honest or de-
cent mar or woman should counter
ance such a scandal. 1t would have
died out long ago if Mrs. Lockwood
had not Historically taken it up
through a fierce credulity and mis-
taken sense of compassion.

America "IIaughty and Defiant,

Pail Mall Gazette, March ST.
The naughty and almost defiant
resolution of the select committee of
the American house Of representatives
on the proposed P mama canal is
worth noting. Here is NJ. de Lesseps
intending to do for the isthmus Of
Panama what he did for the isthmus
of Suez, without, so ar as has yet ap-
peared, any intention whatever of
shutting out the influence Of the
United States, or rather with special
provision for giving them a fair share
OF authority in the new water way.
Americans will not see their continent
tempered with by Frenchmen: it is
the Mexican invention in a new and
insidious shape. Now it is recon-
mended by the committee that the
Monroe doctrine that the whole
continent of America is sacred to the
Inhabitants Of the United States
should be emphatically reasserted. II
is to be declared also that it i,
the right, as it is the interest. O
the United States to possess the di.
rectlon, control and government" Of
any means of communication through
the canal. AS to protection by a for
eign power of any Of the small state

ting any treaties conflicting with thi
declaration" What does Mr.. Brigh
think Of that for a Spirited foreipl
policy2' Would he be prepared Z

doubt this recommendation Of tn.

spread -eagleism Of the moment; but i
there is one thing more striking tina.

it is that a very distinct foreign polio.

A Strange BedGeIIOw.


oalt LAKE Nlty Herhlu'I
Apropos of hunting and fishing, did
you ever hear of a wildcat taking pos
session of a spare bed in an inhabited
cabin2 Such a case really occurred
this winter in this vicinity, in the
herd house of Overholt & Grouse. A
Mr.. Burns had been left in charge.
and for several nights after he had
retired was disturbed by a scrambling
noise in the chimney, followed by the
sight of two glaring, fiery eyeballs in
the opposite bed, andwhen he Burns
moved or made a noise the low, fierce
growl of some wild animal. This kind
of thing occurring fer several nights
in succession, so discomposed Burns
that he finally vamosed the ranch, and
for some time the intruder had things
his own way. With plenty Of fat beef
and venison in store, he must have
come to the conclusion that he had
struck comfortable quarters. John
Garrison, a miner, hearing of
the circumstances, made his way
to the herd.house, determined to
interview the beast that had taken
possession. When he arrived at the
ranch, about 4 o'clock PM. he was
somewhat surprised to fnd the animal
in bed and disposed to fight for the
Gircelonated establishment; but at
sight of the gun the miner carried he
flew up the chimney and into the
brush. Garrison hung around until
dark, then went to bed, placing his
gun where he could reach it, and
quietly waited for Mr.. Cat. About 10
o'clock he heard a scrambling in the
monstrous chimney, followed by the
sound Of stealthy footsteps across the
floor, and the sight of the flaming eyes
peeping out at him from the spare bed.
John carefully raised his rife, took as
good aim as he could in the glooma and
darkness at the shiniDgeyes, and fired.
The report of the rifle was followed
by a short scream of agony, then the
sound of struggling in the opposite
bunk. The intrepid hunter struck a
light, and there, sure enough, was his
cat, fully five feet in length, lying in
the bed, its life blood slowly oozing
through a bullet-hole in his breast,
and bedabbling with its crimson dream
the blankets on which it had sought
repose.
