Tihe Daily State' in comminenting on the mild type f tlhe fever now prevailing in the' City and the Coast, and the brutality of the coward shot gun quarantine, con cludes all able article thus: We have been through live pes tilential epidemics of yellow fever, andl if some Smart Aleck had not shouted yellow fever, no one in New MOrhans wouhl up to this time have had the slightest idea that there w'ai a case of yellow fe ver within a thousand miles of us. ('onilared to the yellow fever epi deanics of 1873 in Shreveport and in 1878 in New (ihlans, this is a little, feeble pAr'toy on an foide- I Mic. The yellow fever germ 'of to-drl is a dude geram. He loters around with his collar sticking above his ears; his cuntffs covering his little puny hands; his pants are turned C up at the bottom, and he sucks the - head of a big cane while he stag gers around on his rickety little legs, hutting hobody, hat-sing ho body and scaring nobody and ex citing only sucll attention as a dude would excite were he to ap pear at a pine woods country pic nic or camp meeting. Compared to this contemptible dude of a yellow fever germ, the scarred;, tough old bacillus of 1873 C and 1878 was a hell of a fellow. He had a grizzled head; he htadl legs big enough to support the St. Charles hotel, and stood square on them like Samsonl when lie tore down the temple; hid brawny hins- t cles and rigid veins ih 'his artmº swelled like waves of the sea; his brawny breast expended to the eye. The old he-bacillus of 1873 and 1878 was a toyal old 'devil. He hopped around everywhere; and like the famous man who lived on a hill, his busineis was knocking nren down and he fol: lowed his business with great vi: gor and assiduity. Ho was Chief Partner and Businiess MnAntger! of the tirm of Pestilence, Black Vo mit & 1)'nth, and hlie bossed his partners and kept them down to business. Ah, thoise epidonlics were epide mics that made our lbid yellow fe veit nurses' mouths wuatet ahd put the yellow fever doctors on tlheir mettle. We have nothing like themn now. Those were the ht1 ldays; and with them appears to have passed the rigot and mrh hoode of old yellow fever BWtfillus. ''Thlat was a felliow to be scaricd of. Yet people were not half as sltared in 1873 and 1878 as they aire now at the little tailor-dressed, bandy shanked, Iin-headed, dlespised lit tle simnlleton of a dude gerut whose mother has turned himnt loose and who lhas got .It among the streets and Ibywa)s of this city, to scare people more by his silly apipearance thaIn by anything else. Illndeed, we don't bellove this fellow has any legitimate right to the name of yellow fever Sgerm; he is simply a little con tenmptible cowardly bastard.
