Chronicle this story, from South Coventry i:
 cone of our best known young men, af- ter shivering and shaking over red hot stove for about two weeks, was advised by his estimable wife to visit the village about to become city and purchase coat all wool and yard wide, put it on and see if he couldn't keep warm without getting in- to the stove oven. Acting upon this good advice, Mrs. Langtry, the family mare, was hitched to the spindle wagon, and with gentle reminder she was started and reached the above mentioned village. Leaving Mrs. Langtry hitched and well covered, the young man visited certain clothing store and asked to be shown some coats-bang up, good enough to wear to church or go to mill in. The gentlemanly clerk showing numerous styles and makes, could not suit this fastidious gent. Think ing of half dozen coats that were sent in few days before as samples, the clerk called his attention to them, recommend ing them as dyed in the wool, all right, and as there was only one of kind he would sell one for very small advance, about enough to cover express, packing, etc. One of the coats was purchased and eight dollars in hard cash paid. Youag gent arrives home happy, thinking of the grand bargain he has made and immedi- ately enters the house to show the coat to his wife. Woman like, the first thing, her hand goes deep down into one of the pock- cts, and then withdrawn contains bill of the six coats; and, upon comparing the size and number of the coat with the size and
 number on the bill, it was found that the coat cost the proprietor of the store just $3. 5U, leaving cost of express, etc., $4. 25. It is not necessary to write of the language expressed at this time by the owner of the all wool and yard wide.''

The Winning and dining Cant ,rur-er ., the

The winning and dining Capt Murrell, of the
missouri, has had to undergo lately has proved
TOO much for him. Thus far the Inequalities
heaped upon him have not turned his head,
apparently, and he remains the modest, plain
Actiag and plain-speaking sailor that he was
When ne landed. BY an accident, as it were.
bnls young man has had acareer opened to him.
That he was a skilful navigator for one of
MS years is evident from his having
been trusted with the command of fine
vessel, but he might have remained in COM
Paratlve obscurity but for the happy circum-
stance which threw the lines of his late voyage
across those Of the sinking Danmark. What
he did in the emergency was only to follow the
dictates of humanity, but this required more
courage than would be supposed at first
thought. As master of his ship he was respon-
sible for her cargo. and was liable to be dis
missed from his place for an error of Judgment
in regard to it. Moreover, with a ships COM
pany of fifty to feed, it was quite an undertaking
TO assume the burden of a mess for seven hun
dred more, even till his vessel could make
the nearest port. At his harbor in the Azores
he had to shoulder a new responsibility in
provisioning the Missouri afresh with supplies
enough to take half of his guests across the
ocean. All that the mere sentiment of mercy
required was that he should land the unfor-
funates; but, in view of the facts that he had
already disposed of enough of his cargo to
make room for some hundreds of passengers
and that long delay at that distant port would
cause great hardship in many instances, he
obeyed the promptings of his heart rather than
those of cool caution. The sequel shows that
he did the right thing. His employers have
testified their approval by helping to make
him the hero of the hour; the owners of the
Danmark have ordered their agents to pay for
the jettisoned cargo, SO that not a dollar will
be lost by any of the shippers as the result of
his action; and, in short, the AIurrell incident
goes to establish precedent for shipmasters
generally which is bound to encourage and
cultivate the spirit of humanity on the high
Seas everywhere.

The yellow fever has made its appearance in
Florida. Timely warning is given to that state
and to the southern and middle states. and all
the large Atlantic coast cities to take precau-
tionary measures. Florida's former policy of
denial and cOncealment, which has permitted
the disease to become epidemic before the
adoption of vigorous measures has resulted in
the loss OF many valuable lives, great expendi-
fure of money, and the damage or destruc-
fion of many forms of business and the
ruin Of the men concerned in them. 1t should
be, and probably will be, abandoned and an
avowed policy of vigorous prevention adopted
in its place. In this way only can the fever be
held IN check. The warning to the Atlantic
coast cities. including Washington, is to bestir
themselves in the work of spring cleaning. and
to put themselves in condition to resist anv
threatened epidemic. The city must look to
Its sewers, streets and alleys, the river front.
the flats, and all existing conditions which
promise to become public nuisances under the
summer sun. The citizen must purify his
house and back yard. A few cases of the most
dreaded of diseases are liable to appear at anv
time In crowded coast city in spite of all pre-
Cautions, but epidemies are built upon the con-
fributory negligence of the victims.
