KOTFKN WOOD A PEST BREEDER
Commenting on the filthy condition
of the rotten wood pavements of Mem*
phi». and their alleged influence in
causing the outbreak of yellow fever
there, the Baltimore 8":. Rays that they
have been continually denounced aa
f jci of pestilence evr sir.ee 1873. The
jointi between the Mocks and the rats
are HO k<>epand enlarged that they toon
filled with filth, which in warm. damp
weather offers a wile »urfaoe for pa
trificative action and for the generation
of noxious efH ivia. Tha blocks them
nolvcs Ijeeome watersoaked and rotten
below the surface «o that when any one
is tikun oat it is found to be no more
than a black, pulpy mass of decay,
tipsn which the sun is actiog all the
time, eliminating malarious gases from
it.
The cause of the yellow fever which
devastated Norfolk in l&tt was very
largely attributed to the decay of wood
•shavings, which bad been used to fill
in a wharf. The Memphis pavements
mast supply a mach larger pro
portion of poisonous malaria to the air
than was given out by the decaying
shavings at Norfolk. It is a peculiar
property of half decayed wood in
rnassos to retain moisture, to continue
long in a state of slow fermentation,
and to give ont malarious effluvia. In
country neighborhoods many a case of
typhoid fever has been censed by s
neglected wood pile near the bouse,
where, upon a gradually accumulated
mass of chips and sawdust that is fair
enough at the outsido, but rotted down
to mold at the bottom, all the kitchen
slops have been poured. It is a well
known fact in sanitary works that hos
pital gangrene often results from wash
ing tho wood in floors of wards with
water, and on ship-board new or moist
timber is injurious to the health of the
Hailor. The damp timbers of the
United Status steamer Plymouth re»
tainod and were able to revive and
pmpagato the yellow fever germs re
cently, iu spite of the most careful
fumigation, disinfection and refrigera
tion during a whole winter. The de
cayed wood of the berth deck of this
steamer could not bs disinfected, so
resolutely did it retain within itself the
fever germs.
Memphis is paved with mile after
inilo of this sort of decayed wood, and
every block, exposed to a sweltering
sun, may nurse a fatal fever germ.
These pavements were laid down ten
or twelve yoars ago, aud aro reported
by Mr. Nilos Meriwether, a civil en
gineer, as being "almost entirely gone
from decay and hard usage, so that
tlmir rotteu and honeycombed condition
makes them so many cesspools and
receptacles for the retention of all man
ner of street filth and noxious gases,
and they should tborefore be removed
a k rapidly as possible."

CALCUTTA, Sept. 22.— Reports from
Cashmere are still very gloomy. All
the European eye-witnesnoa agree that
grett corruption prevails among tbe
officials. TLIU Mahrnjab anil the Min
istora show a want of energy in reliev
ing tho distrossof thepeoplo. A ghast
ly story has been going the rounds of
the papers that two boat loads of fam
ine stricken pooplo were taken out into
a lake and drowned. The story has
been contradicted, apparently on tho
authority of Dunbar, but it obtainod
general credence among the pcoplo and
visitors in tbe Valley.
CAPK TOWN, Sept. 2.—King Cete
vrayo will come hero immediately to
await orders from the Qovernment.
Ilia capture has had a quieting effect
among the natives, and the danger of a
rupture with the Pondas hat passed
away. A final assembly of tbe great
chiefs, counsellors and people of Zulu
land, was to be held at \ nndi today,
when tho terms of peace were to be
proclaimed, and each of the chiefs se
lected to rule over territories was to
sigu an agreement. According to this
agreement, tho chief undertakes to
forego importing arms from any quar
ter whatever, snd tho importation of
merchandise from the sea coast is alse
forbidden. Tbe making of war and
succession to a chieftainship will be
subject to the approval of the British
Uovernment. When British subjects
arc accused of crime, trial and sentence
will depend upon the resident's ap
proval. Tbe alienation of land will be
absolutely forbidden. In all other re
spects these chiefs will be sovereigns in
their own territory. A chief wttl not
l>o compelled to admit missionaries, and
the prohibition of alienation of land
will not be rclaxod in favor of grants to
missionaries. The British residents
will be iuatructed to adviso the chiels.
but to exercise no authority over them.
If the chiefs disregard tbe terms of
the agrecmont, tho residents will re
port their conduct, bnt will have no
power to give orders. The course of
the White I'mnoloosie river from Kam
buld Mountain to the sea will divide
the northern from tho southern resi
dency dimensions. Many of the chiefs
receiving territories arc representatives
of accient tribes who were subjugated
by tho Zulus, and they rejoiced at the
recovery of their independence.
A dignitary of a church waa dining
oat. Of the two ladies between whom
he was seated. the one on hia right
hatiJ was an intituato acquaintance. and
noticing that ber distinguished neigh
l>oi was silent and preoccupied, said to
him, sotto voice: 'I am afraid you ere
not very well this evening; you do n>H
seem in your usual spirit* ' 'Well,'said
tliv dignitary, 'I am in rather auurvous
state of miad about n>y health, and
have a sort of presentiment that a se»
rious illness is hanging over cue. lam
conscious of a peculiar numbness all
down my right side. which seems to
forelxnle an attack of paralysis.' His
fair companion expressed her hope that
such fears were ill founded. 'Ah, no'
he replied, 'l'oiatruid there i* no doubt
ofiit.for I've been pinching my right leg
all dinner time, and can elicit to re
sponaive feeliug whatever; the limb
seems quite dead to all feelings.' 'Oh,'
exclaimed the lady briskly, and with au
expr&wion of intense relief on her face,
'if that is all that troubles yon, 1 think
I can at once relieve your mind from
anxiety, for the leg which yoa have
been pinching all the evening is mine.'
"If there's no moonlight, will yoa
meet me by gaslight, dearest Juliana?"
"No, Augustus. I won't," replied the,
"I'm no gaa meter!"
