Not YELLOW Fever.

MENPHIs. July I0.-Cou siderable alarm
was created here this evening by the ar
rival of the towboat John A. Wood from
New Orleans with several sick and one
dead man on board. She was boarded
about the mouth of Wolf river by DR.
Thornton, President of the Board of
Health, and Dr. Reilly, uPerinteudent OF
the River Inspection Service. Her GER
tiacates Of inspection at New Orleans and
at the inspection station at Yicksburg and
Presidents Island, showed that she had
been under continuous observation By
competent medical officers throughout the
whole trip. The sickness found on board
was Intermittent and remjttent fever of a
mild grade. The death was that of Thos.
kunkie, nephew Of the clerk of the boat
The body was carefully examined by Drs.
Reilly and Thornton, who, from the history
of the case, pronounce it the malarial
fever commonly called typho- nalarial.
kunklc had been sick about six weeks,
and died last night about IL o'clock. DR..
ThrontOn was so we'll assured of the non
contagious character of the illness that
lie gave permit for the shipment of the
body to Louisville by rail. The sick men
were allowed by doctors to be landed here
for Treatment in the City Hospital. The
boat is pronounced by these officials TO be
entirely free from sickness of a dangerous
nature, and proceeded to night on her
destination up the river.

Most of US reach manhood believing in
"fatal stars" and that retribUtioH will
overtske wrong doors. We owe this sent
iment TO the good teachings OF our good
mothers, and not to the experience of our
fathers. As wc grow older this sentiment
gradually loses place in our convictions,
for we see wrong successful in politics
precisely as in business; aud really good
men often the biggest failures, judged by
the worlds measure of success That the
honest, upright in politics or business is
the haPpiesf man, we verify believe, but
Le is not always the successful man"

Items fortne Local paper.

The following suggestions made by
the editor of the Fishkill On. Y
Standard, are as pertinent to this To-
cality as to any other. We often have
people say to US: II intended to send
you a little item for the paper last
week, mentioning what it was about,
but didn't do it," and then offer an
excuse. Or another person will say:
You ought 10 have been down to, or
up to such and such place. and see
such thing that happened there. 1t
would have made a good item. We
are always grateful at the good inten
lions expressed by such persons, but
grieVed that they let the matter slip to
post US on the matter in question, when
they could have done it with so little
trouble. We can not be every where.
and while we may desire to be at a
certain place our duty may require US
somehere else Even if we could be
at the place indicated BY our friend
who is especially interested in the item
he mentions, oftimes it would not pay
US to spend the time to 20 there. But
he, being thoroughly couversaut with
the whole matter, could write it GU; in a
few minutes, and perhaps do great
deal better than we could if we hap
penad to be there. No one need fear
to send US truthful items, Write them
with lead pencil, if that is handiest,
on any kind of paper that you can get
hold of. put your name to it so that we
may know who it comes from, not for
publication, and if there is the least in
terest attached to your item, it will see
daylight in as good shape as we know
how to put it. This is intened for
every body. Who will send the first
item?

return to their work, trusting the mill
