THE SCIENTIFIC AMERIcAN-We are glad
to know that the Scientific Amerscan came
out of the late fire in New York, like the
tabled Poenix, with renewed life. Thesub-
scription lists, account books, patent records,
patent drawings and correspondence were
preserved in massive tire-proof safes. The
printing of the Scientific American and Sup
plement were done in another building;
consequently the types, plates, presses. pa
per, ETC., were unharmed, and no Interrupt
tion of business was occasioned. The new
Scientific American Offices are located at
26l Broadway, corner of Warren street,
very central and excellent situation.

Card from Capt. Burkitt, Presiden
ofthe Mississippi Press Association.

President Burkitt, of the Mississippi Press
Association, is making arrangements for an
excursion about the 10th of August to Chica-
go, the Lakes and Niagara Falls. This will
be pleasant trip indeed.-Water Valley Cen
trail.
The writer of the above, or myself must
be laboring under some misapprehension
concerning the proposed excursion. l re-
member that request was made of me at
Natchez to organize an excursion of some
sort, by two or three members, and that the
route spoken of was suggested, but l have
not had time to confer with the body of the
Press and do not know what would suit
their convenience. My business and the
condition of my family are such that l
could not accompany the excursion at the
time proposed, but if it is the desire of the
Press of the State, will do my best to ar
range an excursion for their profit and
pleasure at any time respectable minority
even may desire. I make this announcement
that members of the Association wishing
me to take any steps in this matter may
understand that it viii be necessary for
them to so advise me by letter.

The National Health Board-Fac.
tious Opposition.

The friends of the legislation in the
House of Representatives to prevent
the introduction Of contagious and in
fictitious disease into the ports of the
United States from abroad, succeeded
in getting the Sundry Civil bill amend
ed so that the duties of the National
Board of Health will hereafter include
the investigation and prevention of the
spread of smallpox as well as of yellow
fever and cholera, as heretofore. Quite
a vigorous fight was made against the
amendment including smallpox, but
the members from those sections where
the disease has been so serious made a
vigorous fight and were successful.
The bill appropriates ST, 800 for the
expenses of the board $25, 900 for
local health boards and quarantine
stations to prevent the spread of con.
tagious diseases, ard gives the Presi-
dent the right to expend 800, 900 for a
like purpose if needed.
We regret to note the factious oppo-
sition which the opponents of the pub
lie health system, are making. Mr..
Coz of New York went so far as t.
mdJ abolish the Board on SepteFI
beAs~, and to appropriate $1,000 |
liquidate its liabilities.

The surveyors of the Canton, Aberdeen
and Nashville Railroad began making the
location of the road last week, and by this
time they are somewhere near the line be-
tween Attala and Choctaw counties, few
miles south of the northeast corner of this
county. The line of the road after leaving
the Kosciusko depot, goes in northeasterly
direction, passing near the old race course
and about hundred feet north of John
Riley residence, also north ofN. N. Sweats
(the old Phillips place) about 200 feet south
of III. j. Munson's, then near the site of the
old Buffalo mills, crossing the Pressly
Bridge road near the seven mile post, and
crosses the Yockanookany near the Hanna
turnpike. We know but little details Of
the route beyond Yockanookany. The OBJ
ject in view, however, will be the most di-
rect, practical route to Starkyille.

co-educatIon at Oxford.

The fact that the Trustees Of the
State University at their late annual
meeting opened the institution for the
admission of female students has already
been noticed In our columns. We learn
that two restrictions only were thrown
around such admission, to-wit /: they
should not be allowed to board upon the
campus exceptin the families of the Pro-
fessors, nor should they be permitted to
enter the preparatory department. The
first of these was necessary from the fact
there is no dormitory which could be
separately assigned them, and it was Of
course improper that they be allowed tc
occupy rooms in the dormitories with
the young men. If the experiment,
which is regarded for the present as
tentative, proves successful, and il
there should be developed desire on
the part of the young women of the
State to avail themselves of the benefits
of the University, it is believed that the
Legislature will afford the means fol-
the erection Of another dormitory, to b.
exclusively occupied by girls, anC
which, while sufficiently near the elias
rooms to admit of easy attendance OF
the Rotations, will, at the same time, b.
sufficiently removed from those occupied
by the young men to secure absolute
privacy.
The exclusion Of girls from the pre-
paratory department was adopted both
because it was believed that our State
abounded with excellent private female
schools, thoroughly competent to pre-
pare students for admission into The
collegiate department Of the University
and because the intention was not t.
offer a preparatory education to tn
young women of the State, but highe
and more thorough culture than tn
limited means and facilities of the pri
vate schools can afford.
1t is understood that three youni
ladies have already signifed their III
tention of entering the University at it
next session, and of competing with tn
young men on equal terms for the ben
efits and the honors of the institution
The State will look with interest to tn
result, and should they outstrip thei
male competitors, and bear off the hor
ors of the College, there will be a UNI
yersal chorus of congratulations.

Quarantine Protection at New Or
leans.

AT late meeting of the Louisiana
State Board of Health the following
resolutions were introduced:
Resolved, That strict system of quaran-
tine, consisting in discharging the cargo Of
vessels, in order to more thoroughly ven
tilate, disinfect, and purify the ship, its
cargo and merchandise, its crew, passengers,
and baggage, be rigidly enforced during the
term of full ten days Gao hours), from the
time of arrival at the Mississippi Quaran-
tine, against all vessels from ports included
in the Governors amended quarantine pro-
clamation of June, 1882, and from ports
that may hereafter be declared infected.
Resotred Furthermore, That the Quaran-
tine Physician be instructed to report to
this State Board of Health, at the expira-
ton of said ten days detention, the exact
sanitary condition of each vessel before her
arrival and during her sojourn at the Quar-
antine station.
The resolutions were laid over for
future consideration, and we are not
informed what has been the decision OF
the Board. The Governor of Louisiana
recommended a quarantine of eighteen
days and high medical authority in
duces US to think that the time would not
be short enough. The whole Mississip-
pi valley is interested in the question,
and is looking with deep concern to the
action Of the Louisiana authorities.

We note in one OF. our exchanges some
dissatisfaction expressed that except in two
Districts, the calls have been made earlier
than usual and with undue precipitancy.
Our contemporary is certainly unmindful Of
the usage of the party. 1t is precisely the
reverse Of what he supposes. We. find by
reference to our files that in 1880, ConVen-
tions were held as follows 1st District,
July 18th Sd District, July 18th; 4th
District, August 18th; 9TH (the Jackson)
District, July 10Th Before the 22d of July,
our candidates had been nominated in the
1st, 81, 9TH and 9th Districts; and by the
18th ofAugust, Conventions had been held
in all the Districts. There has been I'M
usual delay in the preparation for the pres
ent canvass, though the necessity for
thorough organization and efficient work
has never been greater. What has been
lost in time must be made up in activity.

correspondent of the Memphis Appeal
writes
The river and levee improvement That
will be the main issue of the canvas, and
all candidates whether Republican or Demo
crat, must champion it to stand any show
for an election. The Democrats have thus
far named but two probable candidates,
Col. W. A. Percy and Capt. w. w. Stone,
both of this county Col. Percy, however
has declined to be a candidate under any
circumstances, and the recent loss of be-
loved daughter and brother, both having
died yesterday at Eureka Springs, Ark,
will probably strengthen his determination
to keep out of the race. 1t is believed that
notwithstanding the large Republican ma
jority in the district. Col. Percy could be
elected, and everybody comedies his ability
and admirable fitness for the position at this
juncture of affairs.
