LETTKR FROM bURGEON aEa.
ERAL HAMILTON.
The sensible Views and Course
Of n Practical Man.

The following letter from Surgeon
General Hamilton, of the Marine
Hospital Service, was written to a
friend in this city who permits it to
be made public, although it was, of
course, not intended for the press.
The letter will be read with interest,
and will give assurance of thoroughly
practical policy in case any serious
emergency should arise:
WASHINGTON, August II, 1882.
My DEAR SIR--I have received the
copies of the Memphis PUBLIC LEDGER
of the 18th and 10Th instants which you
sent me, and am very glad to learn from
them of the hearty cooperation we are
likely to meet with in case the depart
ment is called on TO render assistance. I
have had tents sent to Memphis to be
stored there until needed at some point.
Then DR.. Murray, who has seen active
service in every yellow fever epidemic in
the South for the last ten years, will be
sent to take charge Of such measures as
We may duOpt. lneSe measures Will
necessarily vary with the particular
necessities of the case and the local health
laws Of each State.
You can see why we thought best to
act in a State only on the application of a
Governor, when you consider how many
applications for aid would be received
where there was no responsibility at
tached, and which, if acted upon, would
exhaust the appropriation and do very
good. In thus deciding the Secre-
tary took into consideration the fact that
the Health Officer of a State is, to all in
tents and purposes, on the staff of the
Governor and his adviser in sanitary
matters. You may rest assured hat all
that may be properly done by the de-
partment TO prevent the spread of an
epidemic, should one arise, will be done
promptly. If the sanitary Gordon estab-
against Brownsville is efficient, and
it seems to be, there need be no general
alarm. But it is not necessary TO be
alarmed to make one vigilant, and it is
that the responsibility for vigilance
upon the Governors of the States
until they request the government to
it by taking charge of the pre-
measures.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN b. HAMILTON.

A P~UelLlsTlC PASTOR.
The Rev. J. r. Jay knocks an
Unruly Member Out of Time
in One Round.

''Sent to the hospital was the remark
entered on to-day's police docket opposite
the name of Churchmember Brown, of
Africa Bailey's church, in Fort Pickering.
Brown was entirely too religious. He
wanted TO worship with the saints a Sun
day or two ago, and was told to leave, as
he had forfeited his right to partake of
communion with the brothers and sisters.
He persisted, as he had a soul badly in
need of immediate spiritual consolation.
The elders were called on, but, daunted
by Browns bold front and soul-lit eye,
they quailed. Finally the pastor, Rev. J..
7. Jay, arose and endeavored TO suppress
the erring brother by means of
a few undeniable facts and rules Of church
discipline. He told him he had been ex-
communicated by another church of the
same denomination, and could not take
part with them. Brown ~endeavored to
drown the preachers remarks by advan-
cling to the m%ourners' bench and singing a
regular camp meeting hymn. The pas
tor substituted physical for moral elo-
quence, and pitched the unruly brother
into the street. Brown nursed his wrath
until last night, when he met the Rev. Jay
in a sequestered spot in Fort Pickering,
and lit into him with a club. The pastor
proved himself equally as forcible in the
prize ring as in the pulpit by warding of.
the blows and flooring his antagonist with
a well-directed blow. And the end was
that Brown was sent to the hospital for
The case will be heard to-mor-
row.

A Dwarf KILLED by Cats.
london Daily NeNs.

A Snowman, named Joseph duncan.
has been arrested at Lyles 1p a charge
of causing the death Of a dwarf under
very curious circumstances. The
dwarf, who was II years old. and
barely % inches in height, had been
sold to Lumeau by bis father to be
exhibited in a booth. His purchaser
conceived the idea Of establishing a
miniature menagerie withthe dwarf as
tanner.
He caused a number of cats to be
painted, so as TO look like tigers, and,
giving the dwarf a whip, compelled
him, BY kicks and threats, to goad the
cats into a furious attack upon him.
The consequence was that the poor
little fellow, who had always a great
aversion to cats, was literally torn to
pieces by the infuriated auimals. This
took place at the fair Of Beaupre.sur-
SaOne last month, since whom the
Snowman has disapp reared.

A German Paper for Gen. Bate.
The Anzeiger ::deS Sudens, one Of
the leading German papers Of the
State, comes out strong for General
Bate for Governor, and his name ap
pears at the head Of the paper. The
AnEeiger is edited by William B,
Fischer, iOrmerlya citizen Of Memphis,
and is an influential paper among the
Germans aad Swiss Of the State. The
last issue says:
Germans will not vote for Hawkins,
because he wants to make us pay what we
don't owe, and insists on our repudiating
40 per cent Of what we do owe. The
farmer is unjust and the latter is dishonest.
Fhe qeFmms will vote for Bate, be-
cause he and his platform propose to nay
all the State honestly owes, and declare
he will prevent the people from being
forced to pay that which they do not owe.
