Choosing a Husband.

George Eliot SAYS
in one of her novels,
that almost any woman
can marry any man she
makes up her mind TO.
Whether this is truth
or fiction, certainly a
woman chooses her
husband oftener than
he knows it. But she
must play the negative
part. She can only
make herself as att-ac.

The State of Mississippi takes
the lead in the yellow fever scare,
and if there is anything she has
not auarantined against she does
not know it. The announcement
of seven cases of yellow fever at
the town of Edwards has given the
people of Jackson, twenty-five
miles distance, bad attack of the
"git up and gifts" Two-thirds of
the population left on hurry up
call yesterday, in all kinds of
vehicles, and those who could not
ride went out on a full jump and
it will be some days before they
can get their own consent to stop
running. 1t is safe to assume that
the remaining one-third of the po-
pulation will gallop over the hills
before the close of the present
day, and with the exception of the
town marshal and the depot agent.
Jackson will be deserted. The
proclamation of the mayor yester-
day indicated that he had a bad
scare and was preparing to take
command of the rear guard and
follow up the retreat at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The
stampede fever even invaded the
newspaper offices, which were
compelled to suspend the publica-
ton of their sheets by reason Of
the fact that the editors, reporters
and printers deserted in a body,
and from last accounts, were split
ting the wind with their noses in
a wild desire to find higher land.
They will be heard from in few
days, perhaps, as they go BOOM
ing across the Tennessee line. Ii
reports be true everything in and
around Jackson is running, even
to the land terrapins, all because
of seven cases of yellow ever of an
exceedingly mild type.-States.

Let Reason Resume Its Sway.

yellow fever scare is at it's height,
a perusal of the files of the Iber-
Vile South published during the
year 7S-the year of the fatal
epidemic-is not uninteresting.
The fever made its appearance
very early and the greatest num-
Der of deaths occurred in August
and September. 1t had become
epidemic in New Orleans and
spread generally before it reached
us. In October the plague began
to die out and after the first few
days of that month there were few
deaths to record,
The lateness of the season gives
us every reason to believe that
even if the disease reaches this
neighborhood it would not have
time to do any great damage.
From all accounts it is an ex-
ceedingly mild form and nothing
has occurred in any of the places
where it has obtained a foothold
to justify the people of more ia
vored communities in being frigh-
tened and panic stricken.
All sanitary and hygienic meas
ures should be taken to prevent
its entrance. Any and all diseases
should be guarded against and
precautions to preserve the public
health should be taken at all
times, but after all, when we look
up the death rate of yellow fever,
compared with other indigenous
fevers, the yellow plague is not
such a deadly and frightful thing
as the panic stricken actions of
some people would justify the I'M
initiated in believing.
The type that has appeared in
New Orleana, Mobile, Biloxi and
Ocean Springs is exceeding mild
and is far less harmless than our
we'll known malaria or swamp fe-

We can see nothing at present

The Rolling of Steamships.

The more important of the means OK
diminishing the extent of rolling IN
steamships is the application of bilge keels
to the chocks-structures attached TO the
bilges for something like half the length of
the ship and projecting from the skin OF
tho ship to the extent of to 36 inches,
according 10 the sizo of the ship and the
desire to take full advantage of their nc
ton. The most recent and most thorough
going investigation of their use and ell
cheney is that Of Sir William White and
MIR. II. f. Froude in connection with the
bilge keels fitted to II. NJ. 5. Revenge.
Experiment in this case seemed to show
that the extent of rolling, after fitting the
bilge keels, was only about one-third the
extent without the bilge keels. This was
the case when the ship was not propelled
by her machinery. When, on the other
hand, she was so propelled, even at MOD
crate speed, the effect of the bilge keels
was even more marked.
Previous experiments with other ships
had shown diminution of rolling due to
the fitting of bilge keels of one-half. ard
for bilge keels of sufficient size this may
proba bly be taken as the least that may be
expected. 1t is to some extent a wonder
that, such being the case, ships should
ever be built without these valuable ad-
juncts, and 1t is probable that, untii some
thing better is devised, the future Will see
nm increasing number of ships in which
full advantage is taken of means OF CIV
ing steadiness so effective and at the same
time so moderate in COST. L. Puryis I'D

Ciass Passions In France.

In France government always does
wrong to rely solely for support upon the
exclusive interests and selfish passions OF
one class. This can only succeed with ma
tions more sof interested and less vain
than ours. With us, when governments
established upon this basis becomes I'M
popular, IL follows that the members OF
the very class for whose sake 1t has lost It's
popularity prefer the pleasure OF traduc-
ing it with all the world TO the privileges
which it assures them. The old French
aristocracy, which was more enlightened
than our modern middle class and pos
sessed much greater esprit de corps, had
already given the same example IL had
ended by thinking 1t mark OF distinction
TO run down It's own privileges ana py
laundering against the abuses upon when
Il existed. That is why / think that, upon
the whole, the safest method of governments
for us to adopt In order to endure Is that
governing well-of governing In the inter-
est of everybody. am bound to confess
however, that even when one follows this
course It Is not very certain that ono Will
endure for long. -Recollections OF De
