There is great deal Of ignorant
and foolish discussion INDUCED in
of late as to the different types of
fever that have prevailed in this
and other States for the past two
months. Charlatans and tadpole
doctors have had full sway, and
because a few cases of a very mild
type of yellow fever have prevailed
in the cities along our Gulf coast,
the entire country has been work
ed up into a perfect spasm of I'M
reasoning and foolish fear, by the
doctors reporting dengue fever, ty-
phoid malaria, and all similar dis
eases, - yellow fever. We this

The story of the rescue of Miss
Clsneros from the Spanish prison
in Cuba, by Carl Decker, the news
paper correspondent, rivals the
most thrilling story of fiction.
This young Cuban lady, a mere
girl of Is, was arrested as q spy
and imprisoned in guarded dun
geon. Some two months ago
Decker formed the daring resolve
to rescue her, and, with the aid Of
two or three equally daring spirits,
within two or three weeks time
actually accomplished her escape,
by filing out the iron bars of her
window and assisting her on board
of a ship bound for the United
States, and she and her gallant de-
liverer are now in New York being

enthusiastic populace, who always
admire bravery and daring. especi-
ally when there is pretty girl in

for elections in the States of New

lays our papers are five or six days

The election of mayor in Greater
New York is one in which much
interest has been conferred, and the
death of Henry George, one of the
four candidates, on the eve of the
election, only serves to increase
the interest, as,there was no GER
tainty as to where his strength
would go on the day of election.
