The fact that yellow fever has appeared at
one point In Mississippi should not cause any
undue alarm In Texas The fact is. the ioca-
ton is such that the place may be easily iso-
lated, and the means to this end are probably
better and moro effective than Mt any period
in the past 1t has been popularity supposed
that the existence OF war, and the consequent
communication with the West Indies, would
very greatly increase the danger of an cpl
demc in the South. and such would seem to
be the case, but on the other hand, 1t may
possibly work to the contrary. The military
authorities will, Of course. institute the most
rigid preventive measures. and having the
means of sure and effective quarantine, the
war feature OF the situation may prove a
blessing In disguise. At any rate, there Is no
reason for any panicky feeling. The state
authorities have indicated prompt action IN
the premises. aud Houston has n city health
officer who can be depended on to do all that
mortal man can do to protest this community.
And In this connection the citizens OF Houston
have n duty to perform. 1t Is to bnek up the
health authorities in every possible way and
especially to clean up aud keep clean their
premises. This duty is to themselves, to
their neighbors. aud in fact to the whole state
of Texas. because Houston Ia the principal

Major William Pierce also left behind
him a partial record of the debates in
Philadelphia which supplement those
of Madison, Yates and King, also the
following anecdCte:
When the convention first opened at
Philadelphia there were a number of
propositions brought forward as great
leading principles for the new govern
ment to be established for the United
States. A copy of these propositions
was given to each member with an in
junction to keep everything a pro-
found secret. One morning, by acci-
dent, one Of the members dropped his
copy Of the propositions, which, being
luckily picked up by General Mifflin,
was presented to General Washington
our president, who put it in his pocket.
After the debates of the day were over,
and the question for adjournment was
called for, the general arose from his
scat, and previous to his putting the
question addressed the convention in
the following manner;
Gentlemen, / am sorry to find that
some one member of this body has been
so negloctful Of the secrets of the con-
vention as to drop in the State House
a copy of their proceedings, which by
accident was picked up and delivered
to me this morning. l must entreat gen
/ tlemen to be more careful lest our
| transactions get into the newspapers
and disturb the public repOse by pre-
mature speculatiOns. / know not whose
| paper it is. but there it is (throwing it
down on the table,, let him who owns
| ii take it," At the same time he bow
ed, picked up his hat and quilted the
| room with a dignity so severe thai
| every person seemed alarmed; for my
part l was extremely so, for putting my
hand in my pocket 1 missed my copy
of the same paper but advancing up tC
=, the table my fears soon dissipated;
found il to be the handwriting of an.
other person. When | went to my
lodgings at the Indian Queen I found
my copy in a coat pocket which haC
pulled of that morning. II is some
thing remarkable that no person eve
owned that paDer.-American Histori
