SO NEAR AND YET so FAR.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
So near and yet so far apart
From that one object adore:
Relentless fate should crush my heart,
Hind mock me evermore.
She's one my fancy doth invest
With all that's good in woman;
Whose outward graces stands confessed,
A charming, peerless human.
If had riches, place or power,
To lay upon loves altar,
I'd feel had an ample dover,
There courage would not falter.
But now, Pm only left to think
On fortunes ways capricious;
From loves gold charlie, meier may drink
Its wine-so pure, delicious.
Still, can worship from afar
Ny fancy's fond ideal;
And thrusting on, that hope bright star,
May lead me to the real.

The RefllRea Camn-

The camp which Surgeon General Hamil-
ton has established about thirty miles from
Jacksonville is an experiment The pur-
pose of it is to detain refugees there ten
days before permitting them to go to
healthy places. 1t is an experiment be-
cause the plan has never before been tried.
The surgeon general was led to try 1t for
two reasons. One was to prevent the
spread of the fever. 1t is admitted that
refugees from an infected city can carry
the infection to healthy places, and start
the fever in them. That was demo lstratel
beyond all question during the gre 1t cpl
denic of 1875. The other reaso was that,
after ten days detention, the refugees would
have little difficulty in finding a refuge.
They would be welcomed everywhere, ex-
cept in the coast cities. These reasons were
excellent ones, and if they had been fully
understood and appreciated by the Jackson
vile people, and if Camp Perry had been
wholly satisfactory. there would have been
a great deal less dissatisfaction with the sur
geon general.
There is a great advantage TO the refugees
in undergoing ten days detention in camp.
1t is that they feel, after they are discharged,
that they are in no danger of being attacked
by the fever, and therefore they go 10 their
various destinations with feeling of Sc
curity and light-hcc-tedness that they
would not have IL they departed directly
from the infected city.
If refugees were to go in large numbers
from Jacksonville at tho present time to
North Carolina, Kentucky OF aIy other
state, fow of them would be certain to
have tho foyer, and the chances for their re-
covery would be very small. They could
hardly expect to have as intelligent medical
treatment and nursing es they would in the
refugee camp, and good nursing is ahso-
lutely necessary in yellow fever.
II is probable that the plan OF OBTAINING
refugees ten days i'll a camp will be a feature
in future yellow fever epidemicS. The
great epidemic Of 1878 scared the whole
country. 1t proved that und or certain cou-
dtions the foyer germs will live ami multi
ply IN very high and dry localities. Conse-
guontiy, when an epidemic of the fever
makes its appearance in any place the
gates of nearly all other places viii be clio ,ed
against it, and refugees from il will be re-
ceived only after it has been shown by a
reasonable detention that they are free
from the infection.

Mark Beaubien,s Wife.

II must tell you a story about Mark Beaubien.
He was the proprietor OF the SauguanaSh hotel
that stood on the site where the wigwam was

mated for President. We used 10 dance in ,ose
times, but were often put TO straits TO get girls
for cotillion. Mark Beaubien was a great
dancer, and as he was a liberal contributor and
the landlord, he was always asked. His wife
was an Indian. She dressed generally in a WY
that was neither civilized nor Otherwise, but III
some respects very much like an Indian. She
wore moccasins. and shawl over her head aud
a short dress. She was a terror when she got
started of course she never came into our
society. Mark did, and she was always Jealous
of him, but especially so when he went TO the
dance.
''One night we had q big supper and dance. I
think il was on some extra occasion, but don't
remember exactly But Mark was there. His
wife came with AIM to the door, and her part
ing injunction TO him was; You he home at 10

didn't see her. She took linn by the ear and led
INN away The flddles stopped. The dance
was over. The people were AFRAID that there
might be some Indian trouble growing out OF

The Freshet at Augusta.

Augusta is partly under water. The
overflow is the greatest that city has expe-
rienced in quarter of a century. The
water began rising several days ago, but it
was hoped that the limit had bean reached
Sunday morning. The very heavy rains
which fell on that morning, however, added
vast volume of water to the already
swollen streams, and the river at
Augusta rose out of its banks and
entered the city. The damage that it has
done to buildings and to other property is
immense. The extent of it cannot now be
approximately estimated, and will not be
fully known until the food subsidies.
The freshet will, of course, do immense
damage to the growing crops as it
moves down the river. 1t Is hardly
possible that the rice planters above
this city viii escape a very heavy
loss. If the weather continues good
they will save portion of their crops be-
fore the food reaches them, but all the
indications are that they will lose that por-
ton which is not yet ready to harvest They
appear to have more than their share of
misfortune.
