The strict quarantine and state of en-
forced stagnation is becoming very
tiresome and merchants and others are
fretting under It's restrictions. 1t is
very hard to be reduced to condition
of almost absolute idleness VIII en- there
is no real necessity for it. The scare"
and it is nothing more-has already
cost the States Of Mississippi and Lou
fsiana an incalculable amount of money,
besides an injury In reputation from
which they will not recover for many
years; and the worst of it is that it lie
simply scare-simply an unwarrRnt-
able craze without anything to Justify
1t. Bad as it is In Greenville, our ex-
perience is nothing to that Of jackson
and Meridian. The people OF those
places, such Of them as have not fed
inoontinently, seem to be actually Graz
ed with panic terror. II such things
can be as consequence ofsuch paltry
and contemplate "epidemicc" as the
present one, it is natural to wonder !
nhat would be the result Of . genuine,
,obust, business-like attack Of yellow

The time Of year has arrived when
the housekeeper goes to bed in tremb-
ling fear that the cook will not put in
an appearance at all the next morning,
or will arrive with her head done up
in a rag, a woeful expression of coun-
tenaDce, and the announcement that
che has got sGch a "mis'ry" she can't
work any longer. The experienced
"white oman" knows full we'll what
this means. The cotton is popping
open all day long in the September
sunshine. The fields are full of laugh
ng, singing, hilarious pickers. All
he plantations are a picnic ground ;
md the town dsrkey yearns for them |
IS naturally as q bird to migrate |

The TIMES ia constrained to make
its Acknowledgements to "Lady Cook,
Viscountess de Montserrat," for the
persistent showering of her pen pro-
duct upon this office. In the past
month the editors desk has been lit
tered with essays, treatises, pamphlets
and bound volumes on Wrongs of
Married Women, Prudery, Polygamy,
and host of other subjects,
the very names Of which eau not be
mentioned without ofIense. "Lady
Cook, Yiscountess de Montserrat," is
no other than Tennessee Claflin, of
salscious memory, whose writings on
risque aud rotten subjects resulted
finally in running her and her even
more notorious sister, Victoria Wood
hull, out of this country early in the
present generation. Apparently they
found a congenial atmosphere In Eng
land, for the shady record Of the sis
tiers was no bar to their marriage; and
even, IN the case Of the festive Ten
nessee, to the capture OF a double bar
relied title, which may be taken for
whatever it is worth, The TINES does
not suppose it lie specially singled out
for the attentions of her ladyship, but
she has certainly been very generous
with them in the case OF this paper,
which hereby returns the need of
hanks due, and beseeches her to de-
list.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Isaac Tolpolsr's Residence snc Con'eH''
Entirely Consumed.

Isaac Tolpolsr's Residence snc N'''-''
Entirely Consumed.
Between land 1 o'clock this morn
iug the residence Of Isaac Tolpolar,
together with all its contents, located
on High street near Division, was en-
tirely consumed. The origin OF the
fire is not known and the loss TO the
building and its contents cannot Oe
ascertained owing to the absence Iroin
the city Of Mr.. Tolpolar However,
Mr.. Tolpolar's loss has been estimated
at from $1,000 to 1880. 1t could not
be learned up to press hour whether
there was any insurance on either tne
building or its contents.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning
Nightwatchman D. W. Gibson OBJ
served an unusual bright light on
North High street and Immediately
sounded the alarm which was prompt
ly responded TO by the fire department
which reached the scene Just as the
roof was falling in. The residence
adjoining that Of Mr.. Tolpolar's to
the north and owned by W. L. Wade,
was saved by the fire boys, as was also
a good barn located on the rear OF the
lot on which the burned structure
was located. Not a single piece OF
furniture was saved from the building
which is itself completely gutted.
Mrs. Tolpolar has been visiting for
some time with Portland friends and
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Tolpolar took
the 2:2O local for the metropolis with
a view to accompanying his wife home.
Mr.. Tolpolar has hot yet returned
home and until he does, it willIbe i'm
possible TO determine the exact
amount Of his loss. 1t was a serious
confiagratlon aud it IS only due to
the effective work Of the fire de-
partment that adjoining buildings
we're saved.
The fire department made a good
run but the fire had gained too much
headway before the alarm was given.
This Is the first fire Salem has had
for nearly two months.
