YELLOW FEVER.
Letter from ]. e. Jacoby, Formerly OF
Mexico.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
PENSACOLA: FLA, Sept. 20, 1882
On the 1st day of August, 1882, we
had a population Of 10000; to-day
we have less than 5000. On the 7th
of August we had our first case of
fever, and with the appearance of
the first case, every one that could or
was the least bit afraid left the city.
AS I am fever proof and do not fear
death, 1 stayed to do all the good 1
can and to look after the interests of
my relatives. ] am on three differ
ent committees to look out for the
destitute. Up to date we have had
40 cases and 200 deaths. Business
is completely paralyzed. At the ship
ping quarantine station, 16 miles from
the city, there are 135 vessels of all
kinds and Of all flags waiting for frost
to come in order to be loaded with
hard pine lumber. 1t will be the 1st
Of December before any of the refu-
gees will be allowed to return. Of
all the vast amount Of business hous-
es here there are only 10 open. The
weather is red hot and very dry. On
the main street Of the city you can
count all the people, and after 6 p.
m. there is not a person to be seen
or heard on the streets, excepting the
doctors, nurses members Of the board
of health and relief committees. Du-
ring all hours of the night you can
see the torches Of the undertaken as
he goes to the cemetery. As soon as
person dies they are put into a
rough pine box and in an hour the
body is in the ground. All of their
clothing, bedding, carpets, and in fact,
all kinds of woolen goods in the room,
are burnt up and the room fum-
igated. Several Jews bave been down
but we have not lost one as yet.

TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.
Hints from J. A. Hudson of Keytsville,
a#fs *5' Missouri.

Knowing that township organization
was in force in Charlton county, We
wrote to our friend J. A. Hudson, of
the Charlton Courier, who is posted
and fair on all matters, asking how the
scheme worked. He answered briefly
as follows: '' ,
Mr.. r. M. White, editor Of LEDGER:
KEYTEsvILLE, Mo-, September H.
In answer to your letter would say
that township organization is a hum
bug--insufficient and expensive. This
county adopted township organization
in 1872 and two. or three years since
the law was repealed by the legisla-
ture. This made the people mad,
because they thought they ought to
have been allowed to repeal it by vote,
SO when the legislature re-enacted the
law this county again adopted it. 1t
is noticeable that for the years the
law was in operation in this county,
our delinquent taxes were heavier
than at any other time. The great
increase IN officers correspondingly
increases the cost Of county govern
ment, while only one county office is
abolished-that Of assessor. The sys-
tenn works bad in the matter OF build
ing bridges. An bridges that will cost
over 500 are to be built by the coun-
ty court, and all under 500 BY the
township board. The township board
has no money to build with, and
hence, when little bridge is mended
they figure it,up over 500, even if it
ought not cost half so much, and thus
saddle it onto the county again. II
y bridge is needed it is necessary to
go before the township board, and
also before the county court. Again
the townships will never have money
enough to sustain them under oul
present constitution. Only fifty cent.
can be kvied. /, The county must have
at least thirty1five cents OF this, leav.
ing the township only fifteen cents OF
the one hundred dollars for all .pur
poses. This is too little. / enelos,
you; some slips which will give yot
some idea of. the workings of the. law
But you will find that the republicans
will vote almost solidly for it, as i
gives them few little offices in SOM
of the townships. Am sorry l cal
mot give you more points, but if yo'
want anything more especially drol
me line. Yours, &c.

Advice to would. BE Journalists.

Four hundred dollars per year is
saidto be the average salary paid to
the aiitors. reporters,and printers of
the United States engaged on news
paper work. Young man, you who
are longing to join the band of public
opinion molders, just think of that.
Four hundred dollars a year for the
best slice out of yeur life! Hadn't
you better stick to the farm, the
counting-room, Or learn. a good trade,
that, when you become tolerably pro-
ficient in it, will pay you remunerativc
wages? Hundreds have learned that
s'molding public opinion" is a mighty
poor business. Molding stove lids
pays much better, and don't cause
half the wear and tear of the mol
der's system. A good many think
newspaper work is just as easy rs
falling down on ice, or finding a girls
lips in the dark. We used to think so
ourselves, but that was when we were
bigger fool than we are now. We
knew a young man once, out West,
who for two years longed for a place
on a paper as reporter, and at last
he got it. The first day he was re-
quired to report horse race, tenn
perance meeting and fire seven miles
out of town. After he had done all
this the managing editor told him he
might write Washington letter, Civ
ing a summary of the political situa-
ton at the national capital, and then
he could go out and get some points
on the pork market for next days
paper. He wanted to know of the
managing editor how in the dread
future he could write a Washington
letter at point TIA miles from the
national capital, and when he had
never been there in his life. The
managing editor coolly replied that
s'if he couldn't write letter from
any point in the known world on fif-
teen minutes notice, he'd better quit
the newspaper business before he dis
graced it." He resigned that same
evening, and went back to his old
counting-house stool, and his old
time, independent ten-dollars-a-weck
air, and never asked to be a journalist
again. Some men seem to be born to
do newspaper work, and they will do
| it if they have'to live on cold hash
and button their coat up to their chin
while their only shirt was in the wash.
And they will be just as happy too,
as the son-in-law of q nonopolist with
a bad cough. They would never be
contented in any other calling, even il
paid them $4,000 a year and fire
wood. All others should keep out of
tire journalistic field.

Polite to Policemen.

''Ialk about bold bank burglaries,"
said member of the police force this
morning, "the. slickest steal l ever
heard Of was the robbery of a bank
down in Rhode Island six or seven
years ago. 1t was bitter cold night,
and night patrolman noticed a dim
light in the bank window, and going
up to the door raped.
'''Is that you, patrolman?' asked
a voice from within.
Yes was the reply. 4
i" Step in and get heat said the
voice from within. The patrolman
stepped inside and encountered a dap
per little fellow wearing green shade
over his eyes and pen behind his
ear. 49,,
"'You're working late Tonight
said the patrolman. .
"'Yes,' said the dapper little fell
low I've been detained tonight
Strengthening up accounts. #
"Tlie patrolman warmed himself at
the roaring big fire that blazed on the
hearth and went out again on his
beat. An hour after the patrolman
came that way, and still seeing the
light through the window raped
again.
"'ls that you, patrolman:'
"tYes.' A..
"'Come in and warm yourself.
1.-The patrolman accepted the invi-
tatioh.
"'It's a howiing cold night said
the man with green shade over his
eyes.
"'r ou bet,' said the patroIman.
So he took another heat and returned
to his beat. He was rather surprised
next day to learn that his fireside
friend Of the night before had 90,
away with some $50, 900 of the bank 5

An Angel UnaIloyed.

The best natured woman in the I'm
tied States hives in Austin. She has
been married a number of years to q
man named Ferguson, but she and
her husband have never had a quar-
rel yet, and he has frequently boasted
that it was utterly impossible to make
her angry. Ferguson made several
desperate attempts to see if he could
not exasperate her to look cross OF
scowl at him, merely to crafty his
curiosity, but the more outrageous
he acted, the more affable and loving
she behaved.
Last week he was talking with a
friend about what hard time he had
trying to find out if his wife had a
temper. The friend offered to bet
$50 that if Ferguson were to go home
drunk, raise row and pull the table,
cloth full Of dishes off the table, she
would show some signs Of annoyance.
Ferguson said he didn't want to rob
a friend of his money, for he knew he
would win; but they at last made a
bet of $50, the friend to hide in the
front yard and watch the proceedings
Of the convention through the win
dow. g..
Ferguson came home late, and, ap-
parently, fighting drunk. She met
him at the gate, kissed him and as
sisted his tottering steps to the house.
He sat down in the middle of the
floor and howled out:
"Confound yer ugly picture, what
did you mean by pulling that chair
from under me?''
go, 1 hope you did not hurt your.
self. 1t is my awkwardness, but I'll
try and not do it again." and helped
him to his feet, although she had
nothing in the world to do with his
falling. =
He then sat down on the sofa, and
sliding off on the floor, abused he1
like a plckpocket for lifting up the
other end of the sofa, all of which
she took good naturedly, and finally
she led him to the supper table. H,
threw plate at her, but she acted a!
| if she had not noticed it, and asked
him if he would take tea or coffee.
Then the brute seized the tabl'
cloth and sat down on the floor, pull
ling the dishes and everything els
over with him, in one grand crash.
What did this noble woman do
Do you suppose she grumbled ant
talked about, going home to her ma
or that she sulked and pouted? No
bit oft. With pleasant smile sh'
said: q
"Why, George, that's new idea
isn't it? We have been married tel
years and never yet ate our supper OIL
the floor. Won't it be fun-just lik,
those picnics we used to 60 to befor'
we were married?" and then this an
gelic woman deliberately sat down OF
the floor along side of the wretch, ar
ranged the dishes and fixed him ,
nice supper.
This broke George all up. III
owned up he was only fooling her
and offered to give her the $50 to ge
herself a new hat, but she took TIN
money and bought him new suit o
clothes and box of cigars. Heavel
will have to be repaired and white
washed before it is fit for that kin,
of a woman.
