YELLOW FEVER IN HAVANA.
The Disease in Violent Form Raging In
the City and Foreigners Fleeing.

The Disease In a Violent Form Kaging in
the City and Foreigners Fleeing.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Passengers ar
irving by the steamer Orizaba from
Havana state that yellow fever in a
most violent form is raging in that city.
One of the passengers said:
There are now fifty new cases re-
ported each day, and the foreign resi-
dents are leaving the city by hundreds.
The Cubans do not have the same fear
of the disease, and regard its ravages
with Indifference. In order to avert a
panic the local papers have been forbid
den to publish detailed reports as to the
extent of the fever.
Every effort is being made to check
the disease, but 50 far the hot weather
and the bad sanitary conditions of the
city have made such efforts futile. All
the steamers leaving Havana are
crowded. There is one peculiar feature
of the quarantine regulations regarding
that port. Everyone who can do so Sc
cures certificate that he is native
Cuban before sailing. Holders of such
certificates are allowed to land when the
vessel reaches quarantine, while Others
have to remain on board until five days
have elapsed. The quarantine officials
act ON the theory that a native is less
liable to the disease than u foreigner.

A few lines that should be carefully
read by those who are not In the posi-
ton to take their dear ones to water
ing places, mountains and the sea
shore, but they can in great measure
ward off many diseases that are nat
ural to their section of the country,
especially during the heated term
which Is now upon us, OF which we
would enumerate a few: Chills and
fever, typhoid fever, billiOusness, and
all malaria affections indigestion,
general debility, nervous prOstration,
and for the upbuilding of system
which Is generally let down 1t has no
peer; it never fails to cure rheuma-
tism, paralysis, neuralgia, dyspepsia,
asthma, catarrh, and Is infallible for
children teething and bowel troubles.
For female diseases it has no equal. 1t
has proven itself sure cure in all the
above diseases, never failing In a sin
gle instance. This is no patent hos
trum or remedy obtained by ignO-
rance or superstition, but the research
of an expert and scientist. 1t
Is boon for mankind, and hon.
est medicine for the people, which
will eradicate disease and bring glad
ness where distress prevails and cure
where all else has failed. 1t strikes at
the root of the evil as surely as sparks
fly upward, healing and imparting
strength to the stomach, liver and
bladder, the womb and its appendages.
1t invigOrates and tones up the sys-
tenn, and thus brings health and hap
piness. No other remedy in this re-
spect can compare with 1t. It does
not sicken or weaken, but Is palatable
and benefits from the first dose. 1t is
not u nauseous compound, but it is as
pleasant to take as lemonade; the
patient learns to like 1t, and looks for
ward with pleasure to the time to
take it. 1t is pronounced by scientific
physicians a grand discovery and an
elegant preparation. We have the
best authority for saying this much
for Kings Royal Germateur, and for
further Information will request you

We have no proof that dec. % Is the

the beginning of the Christian era was sup
posed to conform with the date above men
toned, and for that reason was called
Christmas by all Christian nations II is
now generally conceded by the best au-

not born ON Dec. s5 OF any other time dur

ly agreed upon Is April 5, not April 8 Of

WISE WORDS.

Wit is the salt of conversation, not the
food.
The readiest and surest way to get rid
Of censure is to correct ourselves.
The morning of life is like the dawn
Of day, full of purity, of imagery and
harmony.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which
springs from the soul; and the heart of
man knoweth none more fragrant
Men don't go around nowadays trying
to break girls hearts. But very good
men can be thoughtless and selfish.
Nothing in life is more remarkable
than the unnecessary anxiety which we
endure and generally occasion ourselves.
There is nothing so elastic as the hui
man mind. Like imprisoned steam, the
more it is pressed the more it rises to re-
sist the pressure The more we are
obliged to do, the more we are able to
accomplish.
Purity OF heart is more by far than
power of brain, more than deftness Of
hand. Human welfare is all built up on
moral purity. Our acts are the outcome
of thought, and the character of the
thought depends on the moral state.
Every one must see daily instances of
people who complain from mere habit
of complaining; and make their friends
uneasy and strangers merry by murmur-
ing at evils that do not exist and repining
at grievances which they do not really
| feel.
The fountain of content must spring
up in the mind; and he who has so little
knowledge of human nature as to seek
happiness by changing anything but
his own disposition, will waste his life
in fruitless efforts and multiply the griefs
which he purposes to remove.

At War With the Bnbi.

The Bubi tribe, who inhabit the little
island of Fernando Pc in the Gulf of
Guinea, recently made raid upon the
been for the timely arrival of a Spanish
gunboat they would probably have re-
duced the town to ashes. Their King
and number of his followers were cap
tured and are still in custody. They
have once been severely flogged in the
open air, and the news was sent to their
friends.
The Bubi are among the most peculiar
people ever discovered. Though their
island home contains only about 800
square miles, and the whites, Portuguese,
British and Spanish, have been in pos
session for four centuries, the natives were
almost as little known as though they
lived in Central Africa until few years
ago. They live far up among the mount
aims that occupy the interior of the island.
For generations at time they did not
molest the white residents of the coast
unless they ventured into the interior.
They kept a breed of ferocious dogs,
which were a greater source of terror tc
the whites than the Bubi themselves,
though the latter were well armed with
arrows and spears. At one time when
they were at war with the whites they
were accused of stealing into the settle
ments in the night time and poisoning
wells, They have never yet been sub
jugated, though while ago white
traveller, by exercising great patience and
perseverance managed to win their con-
tidence, lived among them for some time,
and two years ago he published book
giving the first detailed information
about the native inhabitants.
This is probably the only instance on
record of an island, twenty miles wide,
being in possession of the whites for four
centuries, during which time they were
not able to explore the interior.-NeU
