The raising of the yellow fever quar-
antine at Beloxi, Miss, by the board OF
health some weeks since, seems TO have
been premature. Making due allowance
for all exaggerations, there is no dOubt
that very suspicious and very fatal
fever is epidemic there. AS to the ma
ture OF it there are grave differences OF
opinion among the medical authorities.
The Opinion of the state board of health
some time since, after due examination,
was that the disease WAS not yellow
f5ver, and the quarantine was raised.
Since then the fevers have Increased in
virulence, and the attention Of the SAM
tary authorities having been again di-
rected to the matter rigid quarantine
has been ordered. According TO the
most authentic statements the number
of cases has been up in the hundreds;
there are about forty now down with
the fever and the cases are alarmingly
fatal Interviews have been quite Sc
cret, principally at night, and there is,to
say the least, something decidedly mys-
terious about the disease. A rigid quar-
antine will now be enforced until the
disease, of whatever type of fever 1t may
BEL fully cradle ated.
RUSSIA is still backing and filling. The
Porte is uneasy and has asked Bulgaria
to acCede to Russia's demands and post
pOne the converting of the sobranje, but
Bulgaria does not appear TO be in post
poning mood. Ksulbars is egging on
his imperial majesty to come down and
occupy the country. Matters are !
badly mixed as in Bexar and Travis
county politics.
The COmanChe Chief does not like re-
publicanism. That is its privilege, but it
does like a straight out party fight.
Speaking to this point, the Chief says:
THE Chief will take a shot at republi-
canism whenever it shows its hideOu'
face in COmanche county. 1t is not a
crime to be a republican. but it is con-
temptible to be republican and wear
democratic mask. Every man should re-
spect and even admire straight for
ward, honorable adversary" The COM
plexion of the Chiefs politics, the LIGHT
does not at all admire. The disposition
to shoot at republicanism is reciprocal
ted by the LIGHTS disposition to draw a
bead uTon democracy at sight. But the
contempt of the Chief for the man who
wears a political mask is fully shared by
the LIGHT, no matter on which side of
the fence or face the mask is worn.
TIE executive committee OF the fu-
siOnist party are kindly notified that
their flag, corner of Houston and Sole
dad streets, has the head" separated
from the "quarters." One of natures
forces, wind" has done this, and it may
be that the separation is natural, and
none of our business; still, the thing
looks ominous; hence this friendly re-
minder.

WITH as good fight for straight re
publican ticket in this county, by the
local republicans, as DR.. Cochran is
making for straight state republioanism,
Bexar county would have elected more
republicans TO office than the democracy
could have done to save their souls. OF
this fact the democrats themselves and
one so called republican are we'll
aware.

THE condition Of General Sui Ross,
democratic nominee for governor Of the
state, is such as to cause grave fears
among his friends. His health is so
broken down that 1t is seriously ques-
toned whether he will ever be able to
enter upon his duties in case of his eler-
ton, Of which OF course his friends are
confident He has been able to take no
active part in the campaign and the out
look for is ever becoming stronger is
not cheering. He Ia the subject of con-
slant attacks of chills and fever and they
appear to be silently undermining his
strength TO such an extent that a recov-
cry seems now almost hopeless. The
consequences to the state of Texas in
case the governor elect cannot enter uD-
on his duties, thereby devolying that i'm
pOrtant trust upon others, are worth

They tell in England profitable
anecdote about Mr.. Bakewcll. of Dish
ley, who was an eminent agriculturist
and breeder of stock. He was also re-
garded as very wise and shrewd
man. and his neighbors were in the
habit of resorting to him for counsel
and advice. On one occasion an old
friend went to pay him visit for the
purpose of explaining TO him his posi-
ton, and ut the same time begging
him that he would recommend him
what TO do. He had lived all his life
upon his own farm of 1000 acres; he
lived very well, but he had never saved
a shilling. He had three daughters,
and the eldest was about to be mar
ried. He highly approved of the match.
but the intended husband expected
some portion. and he had nothing to
give him. Should he mortgage his es-
tate, or what should he doP Mr. Bake
well begged him to spend the night
with him, and promised, the next
morning, to give the result of his cogi-
tations. Accordingly, the next morn
ing, when they met at breakfast, Bake
we'll said: Il have made up my mind
what you ought TO do; give your SON
in-law one-fourth of the farm, keep the
remaining three-fourths, and do not
part with any portion of your capital
and stock, and work the remaining
three-fourths with it. Do il better than
you have hitherto done, and your in
come will be rather increased than di-
minished." His friend followed his
advice, but at the end of two or three
years another daughter would be mar
ried, and the perpleXed father again
resorted TO his friend Blackwell for adj
vice under this new difficulty. Bake
well eoolly said he had watched his
proceedings and seen their results; he
must do in this case as he had done be-
fore; he must give up another fourth
of his farm, and keep the original can
ital and stock. The father seemed
somewhat puzzled but as the first ex-
pertinent had succeeded, he determined
TO try it in this case also. Last of all
the youngest daughter was 10 be mar
ried, and, in utter despair, the poor
father paid another visit to Dishley to
explain his perplexity. Well" said
Blackwell. "tell me honestly whether
your income has diminished by having
YOUR farm reduced one-half?" The
father acknowledged he thought it had
not. Them said Blackwell, ''you
must give up another fourth of your
farm, and keep the remaining $50
acres for yourself, and, TO tell the
truth, you will then have just such y
farm as your stock, your capital and
your head are fit for, and will be q
better and happier man than ever. "
Old Blackwell used TO tell this story
with great glee, and declared his friend
left as much stock and capital upon
the $50 acres as he ever had upon the
1000, and, as he believed, made a
better income out of it.-American

Stedman's original drama. Diamonds of

houses. Wednesday night the crush was so
great that several loads from the country

to perfection as. indeed. he should being

overdone but. on the whole. was quite credit
able.
