The Quarantine Onesiinn.

EDITOR LEDGER:-After all the
efforts to eradicate yellow fever germs
last summer, the extensive prepare
tons made and money expended to
prevent the importation of any case
this season, a vessel from an infected
port arrives at the New Orleans quar-
a%ntine, and after having been disin-
fected and quarantined twelve days,
receives a clean bill of health, goes on
to the city and discharges an infected
crew and, probably, cargo. AS to
d%isinfecting a cargo of coffee, we will
remark that, where air cannot pene
trate, sulphur fumes cannot, if several
sacks of coffee are piled one upon the
other, can air circulate through the
bagging between them2 Assuredly
not. To disinfect a cargo Of three to
our thousand sacks Of coffee.
whether in a ships hold or in a ware
house, is an impossibility unless strips
Of plank are placed between the sacks
to leave an open space between them.
AS to twelve days of quarantine, a case
Of yellow fever occurred in this city in
1873, which did not develop until be-
tween two and three weeks after ex.
pOsure, the party having gone north
The late DR.. John Erskine had per.
sonal knowledge Of the case.
1t may be safely affirmed that an in
fected vessel cannot discharge he,
crew and cargo in a southern port il
summer, without more or less DANCE
of injecting the country. With sucI
an infective condition of the atmos
phere throughout the whole soutl
as existed in 1878, it is believe,
that general infection would follow il
every instance, since every germ
would multiply. theoretically, dis
infection with the fumes of sulphu
is probably effective, but its eficienc.
depends upon the details of its appli
cation which, being variable, will in
evitably lead to variable results. W
are dealing with an invisible, con
tagious matter, whose presence is onl
known by its effects and its destruc
ton by the absence of those effect.
Practical disinfcction has had but
limited experience, and it may easil,
be credited with results due to al
atmosphere u~npropitious to the propo
CATION Of germs. Efficient disinfec
ton depends not only upon the judg
ment Of the health officer, but alsr
upon his having a conscientious de-
sire to do it thoroughly. Hence

The Remarkable Instinct Of a
Dog.
Albany knickerbocker.l

Albany Kn~ickerbocker.l
The suspicion that Peter Wenz.
who disappeared from his place OF
business on Thursday afternoon. had
been drowned, was verified yesterday
by the finding of his body in the Is
land creek by Victor Schultz. When
Mr.. Wenz left he was accompanied by
his dog. On reaching the site of the
old bridge which crossed the creek he
stopped, and entering a boat threw
blocks into the water for the dog to
follow. While thus engaged he was
seen by George Ellis, stationed in the
A. Il 5. yard. Suddenly Mr.. Ellis was
attracted by the cries of the dog; and
in looking about could not see the
man. At $50 IN. the dog returned
home without his master, where he
gave unmistakable signs of grief
by barking. Mrs. Wenz i'm
mediately suspected that some
thing had happened. The dogs muz-
zle was off, which alarmed Mrs. W..
and she informed the neighbors. At
y p. m, the dog started down Pearl
street barking, and continued to do so
until some Of the neighbors followed,
The dog led them to the spot in the
creek where his master was dro Wned.
They tried to drive the dog back, but
It was OF no use. They went away
leaving the dog behind. at IL D. m.
the dog returned home. 1t continued
its wailing until Mrs. Wentz and an
other followed it to the same spot.
Yesterday morning it was decided to
drag the creek, and after two hours
search the body was found. In the
hand of the deceased was the muzzle
Of the dog. He undoubtedly fell
overheard while playing with the dog.
and being unable to swim was
drowned. Coroner Schneider. who
was notified, permitted the body to be
removed to its late home. Deceased
was a mar of reputed wealth, and is
said to leave an estate of over $4,000.

SPAIN.
The Royal Family Physicians
QuaFreling.

LONDON, July 20.-A Madrid cor
respondent says when Queen Marie
Christine came to Spain she only re-
trined one Austrian attendant, a young
and able physician, who insisted at
the end of June, on account of her
majesty's health, on the transfer of
the cOur' to La Grania directly after
the Cortes separated. The Spanish
doctors hardly concealed their ieal-
ousy of the foreigner, who now ad-
vises the king to prolong the stay of
the court at La GraDja until after the
queens confinement, which is ex-
pected in August, when the heat in
Madrid will be very great. The
senior Spanish physician resigned, and
others would have followed his ex-
ample had not the king declined to
receive his resignation. The opinion
of Madrid surgeons is that, with care,
the heat might not be dangerous.
Premier Canovas del Castillo shares
this opinion. Hecousiders La Grania

Sturdily defends his view. The queen

Harper,s Hammock.

Detroit Free Press.
I've been a fool" growled Harper,
yesterday, as he united a parcel in his
front yard and shook out a new ham
mock. Here I've been Topping
around all through this internal hot
spell when | might just as well have
been swinging IN a hammock and had
my blistered back cooled off by the
breezes."
Any one can put up a hammock.
All you've got to do is to unite about
800 knots, unravel about 500 snarls
and work over the thing until you can
tell whether the open side was meant
to 60 up or down. This puzzled Har-
per for full twenty minutes, but be
finally got it right and fastened the
ends to two convenient trees.
Then he took off his hat and coat
and rolled in with a great sigh of re-
lief. No, he didn't quite roll in. lie
was ready to when the hammock
walked away from him, and he rolled
over on the grass and came to a stop
with a croquet ball under the small Of
his back.
did you mean to do that" called
a boy who was looking over the fence
and slowly chewing away on green
apples.
did II OF course [ did, Git
down of'n that fence or I'll call a po-
liceman!"
The boy slid down and Harper
brought up a lawn chair for the next
move. It's the easiest thing in the
world to drop off a chair into a ham
mock. Lots Of men would be willing
to do it on a salary of ten dollars per
week. The trouble with Harper was
that he didn't. drop all his body at
once. The upper half got into the
hammock all right, but the lower hall
kicked and thrashed around on the
grass until the small boy, who didn't
intend to leave the neighborhood till
the show was out, felt called upon tC
cxclaim:
You can't turn a handspring Will
your head all wound up in that err
net, and Ill bet money on it,"
Harper suddenly rested from hi
labors to rise up and shake his fist a
the young villain, but that didn'
help the case a bit. He hadn't 90
into hal hammock yet. He CAREFUL.
looked the case over and decided tina
he had his plans too high. He there
fore lowered the net to within tw,
feet of the ground, and he had it deaf
sure. He fell into it as plump as
bag Of shot going down a well. H,
felt around to see if he was all in. ant
then gave himself a swing. No per
) son can be happy in a hammock un
less the hammock has a pendulum
! motion. This hammock of Harper
was just getting the regular salt waite
swing when his knots united and h
came down on the broad Of his bacl
with such a jar that the small boy fell
called upon to observe:
That amt no way to level a lawn
you want to S a regular rollerl'
After the victim had recovered con
seriousness he crawled slowly out
gently rubbing his back on an appl,
tree, and slowly disappeared around
the corner Of the house in search o
some weapon which would annihilat,
the hammock at one sweep, anC
though the boy called to him agaiI
and again, asking if a minstrel per
Torrance was to follow the regular
show, MI. Harper never turned hi
head nor made a sign.
