THE PORTER GUARDS.
A Little Ripple on The Surface
of the Marshal sea.

There was something else besides the
odor of g~unpowder about the Porter
Guards armory, this morning, and a
rumor got out hat the scheme of engaging
in the prize drill at Dubuque would
probably fall through. Captain Waldran
was trailed and interviewed, and while he
declared the company would go to-mor
row, said there was trouble about
the rates, and they might go BY
another route than that at first laid out.
He was informed by the agent of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad this
morning that the Illinois Central had re-
fused to make rates, and it would, there
fore, be impossible for bin to furnish
tickets at S1l so for the round trip, as he
had expected to be able to do. A tele-
gram was at once sent General Superin-
tendent Atmore at Captain Waldran's
request, but no reply had been received
at this writing.
1t Is hardly probable, however, that the
answer, no matter what it may be, will
deter the company from making the trip.
The members have made extensive'prepa-
%rations, and have solemnly promised their
female friends TO bring back the first prize.
Indeed, several of these are ready to ac-
company them to the battle field, and only
await the command to Forward, march,
1t would be a disappointment too great for
human endurance. The Secretary and
Treasurer, j. +. Hunter, went to Dubuque
some days ago, and by this time has made
every arrangement necessary for the COM
fort and convenience Of the company.

The British Guards are bitter be-
cause the Duke Of Connaught is in
command Of them, and they assume
that he will be kept out Of harms
way, and they will have no chance of
distinction. Perhaps they are mista

him for, he will put the Guards in
where they will get the hottest Of it.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, August 21.-The
Governor Of Texas came around with
a formal request to the Secretary of
the Treasury for assistance in fighting
the yellow fever. He probably regret
ted, as he sent his dipatch, that he
was not able to ask, at the same time,
for help to fight the poverty which
seems to have such a tight grip
upon so many Of his fellow
citizens. Surgeon General Hamil.
toms ability to cope with any emer-
geney was well illustrated to-
day when this appeal was received.
Within a very short space of time he
had the relief expedition under way.
Of course, it was the result of careful
preparation at Memphis, which en-.
abled him to telegraph DR.. Murray,
one Of his subordinates at that place,
to leave for Texas at once, with the
consciousness that his subordinate
would be able to execute his order
without delay. II is not expected
that there will be a yellow fever cpl
demic this year South, but should an
epidemic occur the Marine Hospital
Service may be depended upon to
throttle it.

the treatment consequently differs, as
the cause. As a rule, when not heredi-

IL must be remembered that the whole
