YELLOW fever in Cuba is spreading
with alarming rapidity. Its invasion
of Florida has driven thousands of
citizens out Of that state. Atlanta,
Georgia, has received 1000 Of these
refugees and thousands more have
gone farther north wherever refuge
has been open to them. Charleston
has quarantined against the entire
state and every day adds to the uncer-
tainty of the situation, although the
disease is not making much Roadway
so far as can be ascertained. Texas is
in immediate danger only from Cuba
and infected parts in Florida. Rigid
quarantine restrictions rigidly en-
forced is all that can save this state.
Past experiences prove that this will
be effective and it becomes all news
journals to uphold the work Of the
sanitary state board and its health
offiCe rs and save the state from the
horri ole possibilities of fever invasion.
1t will not do to, heed the cries Of SELL
timentalists or of interested parties
upon whom quarantine regulations
may fall somewhat heavily. Let the
heS h and safety of the state DE the
frsJ care of its state health officers.

Romance of the Future.

The realm of the half supernatural has
been much worked, but it is by no means
exhausted yet. Is there nowhere family
merged in our complex civilization which
descends, and knows that it descends,
from the race believed by old common
tators to be mentioned in Genesis,
the half breeds of heaven, the children
of angels and men. and which re-
tains from that descent powers and
capacities and longings, and, above all,
certainties as to another life and with
them religious obligations unknown to its
fellows all around, always operative, yet
always of necessity concealed? Is there
no one who is undying, yet must obey all
other conditions of humanity; no one,
except ST. Leon, for whom wealth is pro-
ducible at will, yet who breads to use his
power; no one possessed of the faculty
Bulwer used to hint at, but never utilized

Grating i'll another mind any idea he
woulds The ~novelists who have used
mesmerism as machine have thought of
that power, but have always limited it to
its subjects periods of unconsciousness,
and employed it for some comparatively
trifling end.
Except in the departments of mesmerism
and sleep walking, the romance writers
have hardly utilized the facts of physiology
now creeping slowly into common knowl-
edge, while they have left the machinery
of science to Jules Verne who uses it

The Railroad in Ceylor.

So closely does the railroad approach

Every now and then, when a larger wave
than usual comes rolling in, the whole
breadth of the track is plentifully be-
sprinkled with spray. But in spite of
this it is thickly dotted with white tur-
bans and blue or scarlet sashes, parti-col-
ored skirts, brass nose rings, dusky faces,
and thick, black hair glistening with CO.
coanut oil; for the railroad is favorite
promenade with the natives, who find its
firm, smooth roadbed great relief after
the toll of plodding ankle deep through
the soft, unstable sand of the beach.
But all at once a shrill whistle is heard,
and the turbaned promenaders scatter
away from the track to right and left,
while the morning train comes rafting up
at extra speed, as if in haste to sweep
away the intruders who are trespassing
upon its private road. Out of the third
class cars-which are nothing more than
overgrown wooden boxes, with both sides
knocked out-peer the round faces and
beady black eyes of half dozen native
children, to whom a journey by the won
derful English ''flre carriage is a treat
that never grows stale. From the win

the limp white jackets and heated faces
of three or four English soldiers convey
ing in every scowl of their smarting, sand
plastered eyes at least $40 worth of oaths
at shillings apiece. The first class is
chiefly conspicuous by its absence.

Our Natal Day.
A brief description Of its
local observance.

lOCNI OUScFV0uCe.
The big gun belched forth wei
come to the coming bright day, anG
aroused the morning sleepers to re-
alization that the 112th anniversary
of American Independence had dawn,
ed. The sun rose grand and males
tic, warm but not fiery and as il
proudly rode through space it shot
its life-giving rays upon 60,000,00O
of people who constitute the grandest
Republic of time. And as it sank
behind the western horizon the eve-
ming stars took up the wondrous sto-
ry and twinkled in unison with the
marching tide of human progress and
the strides of universal Liberty, she'd
ding their pale but softening light
upon the closing scenes of day de-
voted to patriotic impulses aud the
strengthening of the bonds of univer-
sal brotherhood.
As early as seven o'clock in the
morning people from the surrounding
country, and at 8 o'clock our streets
were filled. AT that hour the excur-
sion train came in bringing about 100
persons mostly from Townshend and
Jamaica. At 10 80 fully 1900 peo-
pie went on the ground. About this
time the procession was formed and
to the grove in the following
order;
list. Marshals.
I'd. Weston Cornet Band.
Sd. The 80 State Ladies.
4th. President of the day, Speaker
and invited guests.
9Th. Windham Drum Corps.
9th. Citizens.
Arriving at the grove the exercises
consisted of music by the Band, Drum
Corps, Choir, prayer by Rev. W. A.
Bryant, reading of the declaration of
Independence, fitting Introductory re-
marks by the president of the day,
Mr.. Cudworth, and fine scholarly
grafton by Geo. A. Brown, Esq, OF
Bellows Falls, which was listened to
by about 800 persons and received
their undivided attention and frequent
applause.
In the afternoon the various sports
came off and furnished good enter
tainment. The Base Ball game was
won by the Weston Club, Is to 2,
against picked up home club. This
was made necessary by a failure to
obtain another visiting club. The
foot race was won by young son of
Harry Wheeler Of Jamaica, Ebert
Landman coming in second. In the
potato race Will Belden was first,
Geo. Dorset second. The sack race
was won by Adm Coburn of Weston,
Charlie Belden, second. In the tub
race but two entered, Fred Tolman
and Bert Ross. First was given to
Tolman. 1
The day passed off very quietly, no
signs Of drunkenness being seen. The
Band and that, never-to-be-be beaten
Drum Corps, filled all the
with music, and the cele-
bration fttingly closed by a display
of fireworks in the evening.
