colony are in the proportion of one

That Story About Ben Butte.

. SSsSS SOSAJ 4A0S~V DOA4 6@NOAS4s
Every few years, when there is talk
of yellow fever, somebody or other
parades q story of how General Butler
saved New Orleans from terrible
visitation by setting his soldiers to
clean the streets of this city.
With no desire to deprive even Gen.
eral Butler of any credit he may de-
serve, and we are willing to accord
due praise for the sanitary measures
alluded to, there is no reason to believe
that his acts had anything to do one
way or another with the disease in
question. 1t has been abundantly estab-
lished that yellow fever is not indigo
nous to this latitude and it does not
originate here. Strict quarantine will
keep it out and has done so for years.
just previous to and during General
Buffers administration of the city it
was strictly blocaded against all ship
ping save the navy. There was no
communication with any tropical ports
or other infected places, consequently
there was no possibility of introducing
the disease. Subsequently, after the
port had been opened to commerce, the
fever was brought in and worked fear
full havoc with the people and upon the
soldiers stationed here.
The only successful known means
for preventing an outbreak of this pes
thence is by strict exclusion. Other
measures of sanitation have only in
'ferior value, possibly in limiting the
disease.-New Orleans Picayune.

He Could Beat the Devil.

Rev. II. Il. Harrison of Richmond.
Va, tells very interesting anecdote
OF Paul Morphy, the famous chess gen.
ius. Most of those who were present
when the incident occurred have now
passed away, but Mr.. Harrison names
several who are still living and can
corroborate him in his statement. It
was in the autumn ssason of 1861, and
Morphy was on his way to the confed-
crate army then nssr Manassas. under
command of Generals johnson and
Beauregard, it being understood that
he was either volunteer or COM
missioned aid of General Beauregard
at that time. Rev. Harrison was then
living in Richmond, and invited Nor
ply around to spend the evening with
number of other distinguished guests
at his residence. Morphy accepted
the invitation and after supper, while
they were assembled in the parlors, at
tention was called to d colored engrav-
ing entitled "Jen d'Echecs," which
was hanging in the room. It repre-
sented Satan, in style and dress after
the German ideal of Alephistopheles,
engaged in a game OF chess with
young man. The board was on the
fiat side of tomb. and the Guardian
Angel of the youth was represented
looking down with deep sadness and
interest upon the position of the pieces
ON the board. The young mans pieces
represented the manly virtues, and
many of them had already been captur-
ed. Satan's pieces represented the
tempting vices. The position of the
pieces as shown in the engraving was
one that had often been studied with
care by the Richmond players, and the
young's mans game was regarded as
hopeless. The position was set up in
Morphy's presence, and he asked if he
haa the position correctly. After care
full comparison of the position on the
board and in the engraving, he was
answered in the affirmative. Morphy
then remarked, in his quiet but always
dignified manner, that he believed
he could take the young mans position
and win the game All those who knew
anything about chess expressed sur
prise, but MoHhy vindicated his belief
in short time. -He took the young
mans game and played against each
gentleman in succession and won. The
devil had no chance against the genius
OF Paul Morphy. -

Amended That Libel Law.

a "044kA0A - A0t AS&00k &S0 We
The Representatives Of tho people at
Albany seem 70 pass certain very nec-
essary amendments to the present im4
perfect and unfair libel law. -l r
The newspapers of that state have
also taken the matter up with wgor
and demand legislation, which will be
in accord with the spirit of the age.
AS the law now stands, an irrespon-
sible party in conclusion with an ire
sponsible lawyer may put a newspaper
to an expense Of thousands Of dollars
to defend itself for telling the truth.
In the large majority of cases libel
suits are simply blackmailing threat
by persons who have nothing to lose. but
who hope to make few dollars by o
compromise. A newspaper is, there
fore, a bone which every adventurer
thinks he has right to pick. ''1a
There is no feason why Albany
should not give New York. the most
equitable libel law in this country,
one, which will afford the, aggrieved
every proper means of redress, and at
the same time relieve the press of those
suits which are not brought for the
purpose of vindicating character, but
are merely speculative frauds to make
money. ef..
Mr.. Blumenthal has already offered
one bill which is step in the right di-
rection. Mr.. Saxton has another bill,
somewhat broader in scope, in the
hands of the judiciary committee.
What is needed, however, is strong,
fair, square bill which will include the
following points:
First-That the man who sues for
libel shall give securities for costs. If
he has nothing to risk he 'rushes into
court for what he can make out of his
case. If he must pay the costs when
the case goes against him he will sue
only when he has real grievance.
Second-That damages shall be re-
stricted to actual damages and not
be allowed to extend to imaginary or
punitive damages. As the law now
stands, a man whose feelings have been
injured may estimate his damage at
tens OF thousands of dollars and sue
practically for whatever amount he
thinks his wounds are worth. The
chances of getting excessive damages
is premium on libel suits and the
ground on which he demands an ex-
tortionate sum for compromise.
Third-That ''privilege'' shall be ex-
tended to include an accurate report of
what is said at a public meeting. To-
day if a newspaper prints the publicly
uttered speech of a politician contain
ing reflection on his opponent it may
be sued for damages, while the utterer
OF the libel may go scot free.
Honest journalism deserves protec-
tion to at least this extent, and we hope
that the contemplated bill will include
these three important points.-New
York Herald.

CURED on plantation near Winton =
iew weeks ago. A planter had been

q small herd of cattle in the neigh

chance to make tho acquaintance of q
woman. So he sidled up to the wash
tub and began to talk, and it wasn't
long before she was giving him more
than half her attention. 4.s,s.
After awhile the young man owned
up that 1t was case of love at first
sight as far as he was concerned and
he popped the question without any
ado. The girl said she was willing If
her mistress would indorse him as q
worthy young man. That lady thought
1t would be a good match, and said SO,
and quarter of an hour later the
brand-new lovers, in their work-day
clothes, were footing it three miles
away to the house of a magistrate,
where the knot was legally tied in
short order. The bride finished her
washing in the afternoon and that
evening she transferred herself to the
home of the squattcr, which she now
adorns. apparently as happy woman
as there is in Queensland.
