1t is reported and widely circula-
ted here, among the people who
usually spend their summer months
in East Tennessee, that there is a
good deal of sickness in Maryville,
and the adjoining country, this
season, and quite a number of
typhoid fever and iysentery cases.
Lately I have been frequently
asked, if this report is. true, by my
friends and patients, to whom l
have recommended the pure noun
tain air and the various mineral
springs in your neighborhood. But
as had no particular information
upon the subject could not believe
the report; so, l decided to consult
you for know no better source
from which l can obtain more
reliable information than through
The TIMES; as to relieve the minds
of all ankle us and interested EN-.
quirers.
lived In Maryville over eight
years, during which time had all
chances to study the general health
Of that country, and always consid-
er 1t the healthiest part Of East
Tennessee.
While the slight epidemic Of dys.
EMERY and measles which made
their appearance during the spring
oftwo years ago, may have been
attributed to some local cause, dis
covered and removed by my
esteemed colleagues, your eminent
physicians, these diseases were
seen, more or less active In other
localities, at that time.
Besides the many other advan-
tages that Maryville and the
adjoining country have, they are
blessed III their beautiful unex-
celled scenery and beautiful noun
tain suburbs, where the pure air is
inhaled and the pure water is drank
directly as they are prepared in the
laboratory of Nature. With the
various mineral springs scattered
all around, among which the fam.
GUS Montvale, Allegheny, which is
becoming the favorite summer
resort of North and South, makes
that locality the most desirable
place to spend the summer on the
Continent.
No one can better appreciate the
value of such places, at this season,
than those who live in crowded,
noisy and hot cities inhaling the
smoky and dusty atmosphere; and
drinking warm impure water.
l have great desire to visit
Maryville this summer, which 1
hope I will be able to accomplish,
to see you and all my good friends.

tits we'll to say that the cases Of
sickness reported in the TINES two
years since were for the entire
county, but the reporter did not
give the locality, so the papers at
Knoxville credited all the sickness
Of the county to Maryville, which
was very unjust. II you kept a file
of the TIMES you can see what l
say is true as you knew all the
people of Maryville up to that date,
having only left the season before
that. The whole number of deaths
for the county were thirty-one
embracing all ages during the
sickly season of the year with
$4,000 population this was not two
to the thousand. The health of the
present season has been very good.
A case of typhoid is rare thing in
Maryvijle and Blount County.

ences of the newspaper writers are true the
Paris Rothschilds can afford it. Perhaps
they are In position where they can make
profit out of war, that will recover their
losses in the copper syndicate; but, how
ever that may be, the gossip is to the effect
that by making loan to Russia of $780,
0OO, 900, they have placed the Gar in po-
sition to put his armies in motion next
spring.
OF course this comes from the sources
which are always turning out reports Of ex-
pected hostilities; and it may be said that
so much emphasis on the negotiation of
loans indicates some barrenness of other news
looking toward war. Nevertheless the fact
is beyond doubt that Europe is In constant
apprehension of an outbreak. Possibly that
apprehension is what has STAYED off actual
hostilities 50 long. But constant fear alone
cannot avert war forever; and in view of
the efforts made by Bismarck to prevent the
negotiation of this Russian loan, the fact
that it is at last placed makes the suspicion
not wholly untoundeded, that it is to fur
nish the sinews of war next year.
The European powers have been getting
ready to fight for many years. If they are
quite certain that it must come, the United
States can disinterestedly advise them to
have it out, and can back up the advice by
furnishing them with provisions and am-
munition in large amounts.

END nF A COMPACT

A rather significant termination of the
boycott which the fire insurance companies
of the East declared upon the State OF New
Hampshire, as punishment for passing its
valued policy law, is furnished by the
withdrawal of the Etna Fire In
surance Company, of Hartford, from
what is known as the "New Hamp-
shire compact" The compact was to ab-
stain from all business relations with New
Hampshire until the law was repealed. The
compact was a practical declaration that
paying business could be done with New
Hampshire, even under the law. If there
was no paying business it did not need
compact for the companies to withdraw from
the State, as the one that got out the soonest
would be the best off, This action on the
part of the Etna is a virtual admission
of the fact that a State can get along with
out the insurance companies better than the
insurance companies can get along without
a State where there is good business for
them.

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

FRIEDRICH SPIELHAGEN, the most popular
German novelist, recently celebrated his 10th
birthday.
EDWIN EVERETT HALE says that when he
was in college he and his chum took the first
daguerreotype ever made in Boston.
CAPTAIN PARSONS is the oldest living male
born in Wilkesbarre, Pa. His yearly rentals
from coal lands amount to over $4,000.
PRINCE HENRY of Prussia, the brother of
the Emperor, will visit King Humbert of Italy
on his way to Athens His Majesty will make
him chief of the Dragon Regiment, Savoy.
AMONG the distinguished octogenarians who
make practice of early rising may be named
Cardinal Newman. He is very feeble, but still
receives visitors, and always treats Americans
with especial cordiality and courtesy,
ARCHBISHOP POTTER, Bishop of Bombay,
whose death has just been announced, was
Jesuit father and great linguist, as he wrote
and spoke seven European languages and over
dozen of the native tongues of India and
Asia. He was an inveterate chess player, and
on one occasion was known to have forgotten
his vesper service while absorbed in the game.
For this his self-Inficted punishment was no
chess for two months, to him a most severe
punishment.
THE admirers of Prince Bismarck in Ger
many are developing plans to found Bismarck
Mu scum in Berlin on the next birthday anni-
versary of the Chancellor. Collections have
been made already and requests sent out for
all relics pertaining to the Prince or his family.
1t will, In all probability, be arranged some
what after the style of the well-known Hohen-
zollern Museum, which is in one of the palaces
of Frederick the Great The Chancellor is fat
tered by the idea.
KING OTTO, of Bavaria, narrowly escaped
being killed short time ago, in his castle of
Fursteuried. While passing through the dining
room, the chandelier fell from the ceiling, and
just grazed the head of His Majesty. An at
tendant, who stood nearby, was badly wounded
The rooms of the castle have since been exam
ined, and, with two exceptions, declared un-
safe and unfit for habitation. The King is now
confined In these two rooms. His condition is
con sidered more hopeless than ever.

THE USUAL EMBELLIsHMFET.

So it seems that the embellisher got in his
work on the early reports of the trial of the
new United States war vessel Baltimore, as
well as in the case of her predecessors.
When the first statements were made of her
remarkable speed and the gratifying excess
of horsepower, THE DISPATCH expressed
the hope that there would be no such dis
count of them IN the official figures as took
place in the case of the Charleston. But
the official report shows that the horsepower
fell below the contract requirement, and
that the speed, while very good, did not
reach 20 knots. 1t is true that there is a
doubt as to the accuracy of the indicators
which tested the horsepower; aud that the
circumstances warrant new trial; but that
being the case, what was the use of saying
nothing about it and overwhelming the
public with fairy tales of 21-knot speed and
a couple of thousand surplus horsepower?
Someone is evidently in need of lesson on
the commercial and journalistic value of
truth.

HIS BOOTS ARE NUMBER 16.
A Six-Foot Connecticut Boy With Aston
ishiuRly Large Feet.

ishingly Large Feet.
PUTNAM, CONN.,, October 6.-Mr. Arnold OF
Thompson is only l6 years old, but he is over
six feet tall and his feet are famous. They are
bigger than any other feet in Windham county
and perhaps in the New England States.
Young Thompson stepped into Eli Tracy's
shoe shop at Central Village the other day and
said he would like to have the shoeman make
him pair of boots.
"All right" said Eli, lust put your foot on
this measure, and I'll get your size"
Thompson tried to do as he had been hidden,
but found it impossible to comply with the re-
quest. Although Tracy slipped the marker out
to the jumping-oh place on the measure, there
was not nearly room enough to accommodate
the young mans extraordinary foot.
We'll" said he, looking up iaghast, 81 never!
You beat the record. What size boot do you
usually wearf'
"Oh, generally can get on sixteens," re-
piled the youth with ingenious complacency,
but latterly they've pinched my feet some,
time"
Tracy then made an approximate estimate Of
the big foot. and found that it called for boot
one inch and half longer than his measure
81 can't fill the DILL for you," said be- 'for you
take boot that is bigger than any last that is
made"
So young Thompson had to away without
hope and he is in dilemma. The prospect is
that he will have to 60 unshod during the re-
mainder of his life unless he can persuade some
nberal-soled contractor to make a last especi-
ally for his use, which will be expensive.
Thompson is not the only six-footer and big
footer in his family. He has sister who is six
feet tall, but it wouldn't do for any one to draw
further conclusions.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF MEAENEss.

1t was difficult to imagine how ANYTHING
more remarkably mean than the record
which New York has made in connection
with the Grant monument could be evolved.
That city proceeds to beat its own record by
a proposition, reported to come from a G. A.
B. post, to assess the pensioners of the United
States one per cent of the slender funds
which they draw from the Treasury, in order
to raise the money to build the monument
The one class in the country which should
be sacred from such an attack on their mar
row incomes is that composed of the old SOL
diers who draw modest and, in the majority
of cases, even petty allowances from the
Government The proposition is widely
supported to increase these allowances en-
the plea of their needs in ola age. TO pro-
pose to tax the veterans in order to build
monument which New York is too stingy to
furnish the funds for. in order to raise the
money from the class least able to pay it, is
an achievement of pettiness which beggars
comment.
The remarkable argument is made that
the sum drawn from each pensioner is so
o4AShh hAoS ~ hOuAA AOb OS 4SLLs SuG per
cent on pension of $40 per month is only
ten cents it is urged; but on the total
$50, 600 of pensions it amounts to
$500, 900, which would furnish New York
with a fine monument. The argument
might hold good with regard to other classes.
One per cent on what the money kings of
New York make by manipulations and COM
binations would never be felt and would
yield much larger sum. One per cent on
what the fashionable people of New York
spend in luxury and folly each year could
well be spared, and would not only build a
monument to Grant but would honor his
memory by furnishing some millions more
for the care of disabled and needy soldiers
But to apply this principle only to the
poor pensioners, and to argue that the old
veteran who has to sustain age on an allow
ance of S120 will not feel tax of 81 20. in
order that the rich New Workers can escape
making good their pledge out of their mill
ions, is an effort of logic on behalf of the
wealthy that would be silly if it were not so
shameful.
A monument to Grant erected by such
means would dishonor his memory instead
of honoring it.

CATCHING 4OO-POUND TURTLES.
The Curious Methods Pracficed by the
Fishermen of New Zealand.


Fishermen of New Zealand.
Auckland Letter to New York Times.l
There are several curious ways OF catching
turtles While lying asleep on the water in the
sun, canoe will silently approach, its crew
seize the animal. and tumble him aboard ''be-
fore he knows where he is" He is turned on
his back, for otherwise he would climb out and
swamp the boat in short order. A native will
also swim up quietly behind the sleeping beast,
spring on the back of his shell, and hold on in
such way that he cannot dive. Having no
idea of escaping in any other way, he can be
steered whithersoever his captor chooses. ICon-
siderable agility and nerve are necessary in &C
complishing this feat, for If the man should
miss his leap and fall back into the water he is
liable to be dangerously cut by the animals
dippers. An inexpert person or one who wished
to have some fun with the turtle might grasp
him by the TAIL If 80, like the freshman who
devised the plan of catching bull by the horns
and rubbing his nose in the dirt, he will do well
to have his laugh first. The turtle has his idea
OF joke, too, which is instantly to shut his
tail close up to his body, whereby the mans
hand Is held as fast as in a wise, and then dive
with him to the bottom of the sea. Most of the
turtles, however, are captured on the beaches
whittier the females land to lay their eggs. and
the males accompany them out of gallantry or
to keep guard.
The eggs are laid in perpendicular cavity
about yard deep, at the bottom of great
circular excavation, which the female scrapes
by whirling around like fly with its wings
singed and violently plying its flippers. There
are usually over a hundred eggs in litter.
When surprised, the turtle offers no resistance,
but makes OF at pace surprisingly rapid in SO
clumsy an animal, and which a good runner
can hardly keep up with in the sand.
To turn a turtle weighing 400 pounds
on its back and thus capture it, while
it is scuttling through deep sand,
requires more knack than strength. A turtles
progress on land is by series of wriggling
jerks from side to side, and the fisher taking
advantage of the moment when it cants away
from him, overturns IL with ease. The young
are hatched in month, making their appear
ance when about the size of an American
silver dollar, and are prepared to begin life on
their own hook at once, which they do by
rushing for the sea as rapidly as possible.
Many Of them never reach it, however, being
caught by birds if it be day and by the land
crabs at night.

The Zetetic philosophy. which proves abso-

earth is plane and not a planet has in 1t no
theories, but establishes its conclusions upon
facts alone. Many OF these facts are of such a
nature that not to know all about them will
soon be deemed sign of ignorance. The peo-
pie should know that the surface of standing
water is level, whether 1t be in the form Of a
pond, lake, canal, a sea or an ocean, and
that it makes no difference at all how many
people, in consequence of false teachings, be-
heve it to be curved; that in no surveyors op-

Sailors can see the light at Cape Hatteras 40
miles out at sea, whereas on the globe theory
it ought to be more than 800 feet below the

PITTsBURG, MONDAY, OCT. :, 1859.
BoULANGER's END.

The second ballots in the French elections
seem to emphasize the success of the Repub-
lican government in the first ballotting.
The estimates give the party in power two
thirds Of the seats, and in several districts
of the Seine, where the Boulanger party
might be expected to develop strength, the
Republicans have elected their candidates
In the meantime, the complete eclipse of
Boulanger is indicated in the abandonment
of his name by his quondam supporters,
who now call themselves Revisionists, and
discard the name of their late leader.
Whether this stab in the house OF friends is
due to the defeat of the General or to the
withdrawal of funds by the Orleans faction.
may be subject for discussion; but it does
not leave much doubt that Boulanger is a
political corpse.
This may, therefore, be taken as the end
Of political movement which was founded
on humbug and which met with the in
evitable crash as promptly as it deserved.
