1t is gratifying to see that New Orleans is
at last thoroughly aroused to sense of its
position on the question of epidemics. For
long years il has been the policy in that city
TO be more careful about the trade of its
merchants than about the health and lives
of the citizens of the lower Mississippi val
ley. A local Board of Health was formed
in New Orleans the object of which was not
the conservation of the public health, but
the covering over, explaining away and hid
ing up important facts with regard to pos
sible epidemics which might be contrary to
the interests of business. That Board Of
Health is in disrepute throughout the val
ley, from Cairo to the jetties and from Mis-
souri, to Texas. No one places any conf
dence in It's faithfulness to the duties that it
nominally undertakes, and gives no credence
to any statement it makes unconfrmed by
trustworthy facts or testimony. New Orleans
is aroused at length, however, as is shown
by the pains taken this week to assure the
public that late death there occurred from
jaundice and not from yellow-fever, which
shows that SOME regard for public sentiment
is at length dawning on the minds of the
business people of New Orleans. This
change of sentiment has been brought about
BY New Orleans having been made to under
stand that her policy is now known, and that
if it be persisted in her business interests
will be made to suffer. The action of Mem
phis and of other cities and towns below
Cairo have taught the business people there
that if yellov-iever is allowed to gain prev
alence in that city again, the communica-
tioss Of the city BY river and railroad with
the North will be cut of, that New Orleans
viii be quarantinsd against in manner that
will isolate her and stop her commerce. A
knowledge of this fact has made New Or
leans do what regard for health and life
never won from her.

The capital of Ireland q few years ago
was estimated by DIR. Hancock at f275, 000,-
900 sterling, or over $3.50 per head. And
this wealth is amply distributed. The cash
deposits in the nine joint-stock banks of Ire
land are about $3.50 600, 900, or $50 for every
man, woman and child in Ireland. The
amount OF English consols and India stock
held in Ireland in $50 was larger than this, be-
ing sS3, liz, 900. In the same year Ireland paid
1896, 1872 on 6,927 81 gallons of spirits.
The value of livestock on the Irish farms
was G37, 553, 1877 in 1871, and about seven
lenths of this was in cattle, pigs representing
the insignificant value of FL ,929 ,379. Thom's
almanac gives the value OF cattle, sheep
and pigs in Ireland for 1880 as ESQ, 904, 429.
This is popular property. The number of
landowners In 1873 was 6S,716, of whom
62.25O held less than 500 acres each,
while 6466 held more. The num-
Der of persons holding from so to 500 acres
each was IL ,46S. The ratable value of the
island was I3,41s,357. Omiftipg cities and
towns the ratable value of Ireland in 1872
was e10, 1S0, 434. The total annual value of
Ireland was rated by Griffith at Ell ,439, 575.
Mr.. Davis estimates that the Irish pay for
rent alone els, 000, 900; in his Boston speech
he said that 5000 landlords walk of with
$50, 000,O a year, But return to the
House of Commons in 1872 showed that TO-

In quick and coy retreat
Glanced through the star CLEANS on calm summer

And the great sky. the royal heaven above,
Darkens with storms or melts in hues of love;
While far remote,
Just where the sunlight smtes the woods with fire.
Wakes the multitudinous sylvan choir,
Their innocent loves desire
Poured in a rill OF song from each harmonious

Ny walls crumbling but immortal looks

EFFECT OF THE BOMBARDMENT OF
ALEXANDRIA.

The bombardment OF Alexandria appears
to have acted like pouring vinegar on soda.
1t has set all Egypt in effervescence, and
every Arab is foaming with rage. The con-
dition OF things looks bad. Arab Is not put
down as readily as had been predicted, His
adherents do not forsake him as had been
expected. He may not be powerful in the
field, but he is evidently powerful for mischief.
His policy OF cutting of the supply OF water
frsm Alexandria proves more serious than is
consistent with the quiet possession Of
that city. The English are forced by it to
take active steps TO embarrassing Arab in
his turn. That sstute genius has not only
cut off the supply OF fresh water to Alex
andria, but he has overhowed the country 60
as to make the soil unfit for cannon to travel
upon. This looks as il the man understands
his business and knows how to use the ad-
vantages he has in his hands. His instru-
ments, the notables, dethrone the khedive,
and ne asjesticslly proclaims irreconcilable
war with the English. The massacre of the
christians goes ON. and the sojourner and
traveller by the Nile are i'm fearful
strait. The khedive has nothing of the
vigor of Arab; he has not ventured, al
though urged to do 30, to proclaim Arab
rebel. Arabi's soldiers are collecting at |
Zagszig, and the Bedouins with Them. This |
is ominous, for from thence the railroad |
starts that reaches Ismailia and Suez, and |
here the forces will have the fresh-water
canal in their power that supplies water 10
Port Said and Ismailia. The people are

ind are devoted to Arab, who has taken up

III this goes on, is playing off against the
english the cunning resources of duplicity !
nd diplomacy. The Turk is worse feature
n the affair than Arab. and nothing would
o much tend TO facilitate settlement as for
he powers in conference TO tell the sultan
hat they are aware of his double dealing,
nd to order him to keep quiet and do as he
5 directed or to resign. The Turk will bear
Iatching in all that occurs, and an eye kept

Mrs. Mary Il. Bryan.

Mrs. Mary E. Bryan follows a widely
different course in fiction from Miss Reeves
and Miss Fisher. The emotional element is
conspicuous in her writings, and her chief
strength lies in that direction. 1t would be
impossible for her to compose successful
story Of the Irollope type, for her methods
are more closely allied 10 those OF the French
than the English school of novelists. Her
love for dramatic action sometimes tempts
her to cross the border land of sensational
ism; but she has too much ability to wander
aimlessly in that dangerous domain. Al
though melodrama is her forte, she Is not de-
void of the creative faculty In the delinea-
ton OF character. She draws an exception
ally noble nature with true tenderness, and
the darker side of humanity with unques-
tionable force. Her plots are invariably IN
teresting, in spite of certain flaws which the
keenly critical reader may detect In their
construction. Mrs. Bryan is native OF
Florida, and daughter of Major John d.
Edwards. one of the settlers of that State.
She is descended from excellent and
honorable families, both on the pater-
nal and maternal sides of the house. When
a schoolgirl scarcely sixteen years OF age,
she married Louisiana planter and went
with her husband to his house on the Banks
of the Red river. She has been editorially
connected with the Literary Crusader, pub
lished at Penfeld, Ga, and the Southern Field
and F;reside, and has contributed to many
other periodicals. One of her earliest stories
was called Haytcood Lodge. 1 have never
seen copy of it, but her social story pub
iished in SCOTS Magazine, under the name OF
"The Mystery Of Cedar Bay" attracted my
youthful taste for the mysterious in fiction.
It was somewhat in Wilkie Collins's style,
and had decided merit. Mrs. Brya ans hus-
band fought in the war, and during his alb
scence she was left in charge of his house
hold and plantation. AT the termination of
the struggle, Mr.. Bryan was financially en-
bsrrassed, and his wife accepted position
on the Semi Weekly Times, issued at Natchi-
toches, La. Here she acquired some expert
ence as writer on politics for the Times.
She has written many poems and essays, and
has never fully followed her vocation as
novelist. She is now editorially associated
with the Sunny South, a literary weekly pub
lished in Atlanta. She has several children,
and home apart from the dust and noise
of a railroad center. In 1880, the Appletons
published, in handsome form, her Maneh,
and the author has had no cause TO complain
of its reception from a popular standpoint.
Its local circle of readers must have been I'M
usually large, for the Atlanta correspondent
