through the couutry for mile* sround
tuts city. A note from Mr. Oates’
fsmliy, five miles distant, received yesterday,
says: “Bond us a doctor and nurses. Father
and brother Willie are dead. Five others are

A COSTLY WICKHBsS.
New Orleans. Sept. H.—Yellow fever is o
costly sort of sickness to have, and poor men
could nut afford it without extraneous aid.
Champagne and French brandy are expensive
medicines, and they arc often indispensable at
certain stages of the disease. Apropos of that,
I will tell you a grim story, wUlea has served to
amuse us hero, a ycilow-faver joke. A doctor,
on his dally round, dropped in on n patient
whom he had left under the care ol a profes
sional mitre, a sort ot Mrs. Damp, perhaps.
Judge his feeling* when bo found them both
drunk. The nurse’s emotions were too deep
fur utterance, but the pot* ,ut was sufficiently
luck! to explain the HtiuUuu. Tito nurse hail
projured o tattle of champagne, to be dosed
out hourly by spoonfuls. Alas! there was a
mutual taste. The tun ot it is (but the man
got welt; but If the lover over reaches your
beuutilul city. I would uot advise you to repeal
the experiment.
