WHAT IT HAS DONE:

The Company Has Paid Over
Two Hundred Death Claims, in
consequence Of this law, aggregating
in sums insured more than Four Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.
In every case there had been a de-
fault in the payment of premium, and,
except for this law, the policies would
have been of little or no value. Instead
of this, the insurance in each case was
extended to the time of death, and the
Company was required to pay to the
beneficiaries under the policies the
sum Of $41S, 1857.

Out of Meat.

The following, from the Augusta
Evening News of Saturday, looks
as if Augusta is about to get out
of meat:
"Augusta's wholesale merchants
are confined to a cash basis in do
ing businesa which will greatly
affect trade.
The packing houses and other
business concerns of the West are
demanding of their customers
here currency by express for all
goods.
This means that the merchants
must send the actual hard cash for
meat and other Western produce,
otherwise no goods will be shipped.
No checks, no New York Ex-
change, but the money itself by
express.
If an Augusta merchant buys a
carload of meat he must check the
money out Of Augusta banks, put
in a package and express it off.
The Boston canned goods houses
are now demanding sight drafts
for al. goods bought OF. them, when
before this they would sell on go
days time.
The sight drafts must be given
on the arrival of the bill of lading.
In New Orleans the banks will
not discount any drafts, no matter
if they are gilt edged.
The sugar and molasses houses
want cash, when hitherto they sold
on so days time.
To sum it all up: The country
is getting now on strictly cash
basis.
AS to what this will result in,
merchants differ.
Some few think it may bring
about a crisis, while others look
for better times when credit is in a
measure done away with.
The Evening News called on Mr..
Paul Muslin and asked him what
would be the effect of the Western
demands here.
He said our merchants would
stop buying meat, as the banks
will refuse to give. them the cash
to ship off, for if the currency is
all sent away there would be no
money to handle the cotton crop
with.
Mr.. Muslin says ne has quit
buying meat on this account, and
says all the others, with possibly
one or two exceptions, would stop
buying.
The effect is that he only sells
for cash and does not accept checks
for his goods. Some few thousand
dollars, possibly ten, were shipped
by express for meats, but that's
over with now. Is
Mr.. Muslin says the people
would rather do without the meat
for awhile and hold their cash, and
he sums it up as temporary sus-
pension of business.

THE YELLOW FEVER.
A Favorable Feature of the Sit
uatiOn at Pensacola.

PENSACOLA, Aug. IA very fa-
vorable feature in connection with
the yellow fever situation occurred
at 6 p. m. this evening. The State
health officers gave official assur-
ance to Mayor Chipley that the
guard could be released which was
stationed at the residence of Mr..
Waite, and the family and friends
confined in the house since the
death of Mr.. Waite, as after an
investigation it was decided that
he did not die of yellow fever.
The guards are continued at the
residence Of Mr.. Wood. father Of
little Ellen Wood, as the investi-
cations in this case have not been
completed.
1t is now nineteen days since
Capt. Northup died, more than ten
days since Mr.. Waite and Ellen
Wood were taken sick, and four
days since they died. Had these
three persons, or any one of them,
died of yellow fever, more new
cases would have existed here. At
6 p. m. no new cases have been re-
ported to the board of health.
Surgeon Carter, who arrived here
yesterday, has been ordered to
Brunswick, at that place has re-
ported two new cases of yellow
fever there. This leaves Surgeon
MacGruder as the only representa-
tive here of the national depart
ment, but Surgeons Murray and
Hatton are expected tomorrow.
There is much rejoicing over the
decision of the Waite case.

Hospital Service received no in
formation to-day from Brunswick,
Ca, regarding the yellow fever
outbreak. DR.. Carter, who has been

action is to be taken in regard to
other cities in which yellow fever
may be.

masters OF the school of BrIges WHO
created Il national Flemish art, which
grew up simultaneously with but quite
independently of the art of Italy. Ho
claimes our attention because. of all
the painters of the North, he alone Gre
ated IL type of feminine beauty that was
unknown before him and disappeared
with him. His Madonn:iS, clad III rich

portraits Of the earthly princeSSes OF

Memlinc loved. Full of that reverence
for women which is characteristic OF
the Germanic mind. and which contri-
butcd. together. with chivalry and
Christianity, to form that new aspect
of love already noticed in connection
with Dante's Vita Nuova," Memlinc
made the Madonna an emblem, and lin
painting the beauty of her person he
sought also to paint the beauty of the
ideal feminine soul of northern Europe.
She is a princess OF pearl-like purity of
skin, with white hands and delicate fin
gers and Il visage that indicates abso-
lutte purity of heart. And rs Mcmllno

her locks enclose" are emblematic of
her intellectual power; the long hair
points to the fitness of her life; tho
slender figure and small mouth tell OF
