The following sketch of the Catholic Church * will conclude the checkered histories of the Hyde Park churches which have appeared in recent Sunday issues of THE TRIBUNE. In the Fear 1565 the Rt. Rey. Dr. Duggan was Bishop of the Cathulic Church in Chicago. The reverend gentleman being in quite poor health, was induced to remove hi residence to the salubrious climate of Hyde Park, and so in the summer of the above men- tioned year Lie took up quarters in the frame dwelling-houée on the corner of Fifty-third street and W ugton avenue, opposite the First Presbyterian Church, now dccupied by Mr. Carmschall. To the surprise of the Bishop ‘he discovered that there were already s large number of Cathislics residing there who were obliged, like Difeel, to attend church in Ghicago. This fact induced him 1o found a church in the wvillaze. Accordingly he deputed Father Bolls, s clerey- man of Chicago, to open a subseription in Hyde Park for the purpose of erecting a church. With a generosity in church matters characteristic of the people, a sufficient ainount was soon con- tributed, and with it was purc] d from B. W, Philips a lot 44 by 195 feet_on Fifty-fiith street, for $2, canal tile, 2t 10 per cent interest. Father Bolls pushed things rapidly, but some of his parishioners think not wisely. He is re- membered as a sincere Christian and 3 pleasant gentleman, but an inferior business manager, as the sequel will show. By him the building of the church was let to one contractor, the construction of the pews to another, and in a short time there was a large pumber of men at work, butnot acent with which to pay them. As a consequence of all this mismanagemcnt, the church became mort- gaged to about three times the amount in cash necessary for its construction Now, according to one of his parishioners, the Rev. Mr. Bolls “‘sniffed the battle from afar,” and then that good and pleasant priest Father Lyden, now of Engiewood, was assigned to su- persede him. Commencing his duties in the {!w 1569, this gentlemun labored with diligence, oth spiritually and otherwise, but finally asked to be relicved on account of the depressing financial condition of the church. From the date of the resignation of Father Lyden up to 1873 several other reverend gentle- men bravely endeavored to carry forward a small church with a large debt and & poor parish, and one of them, the Rev. Thomuas Kennedy, died at his post. At this time the Bishop (the Rt. Rev. Dr. Foley) appointed three Trustees to take temporary cliarge of the atfairs of. the par- ish. The Trustees chosen were P. Cudmere, P, F. Ryan, and Daniel Healey. They managed very adroitly, and finally succeeded in paying <l back-intérest and a portion of the principal. This was the state of affairs when, in 1573, the Rev. P. M. Flannizan took the parish into his hande. He provea = most excellent business manager, and without ~ difficulty paid off the = church debt _during the first year of his pastorate. In October, 1574, the Sunday-school was started. In the fall of 1575 Mr. T of the large Catholic congregation at South Chicazo. 3 The present pastor of the Hyde Park Chprch, the Rev. Mr. Leitner, resides in Chicago, but ofliciates in the parish every Sunday. He isa widdle-agzed gentleman, of pleasant sddress, and fine cdueation, having graduated from the Grest Propsganda at' Rome, and, as 2 musician. hus few superiors here. . The present number of ' the comgregation is from 425 to0 450 souls, which Indieates a rapid growth. . The parish now extends from Thirty-ninth street to Grand Crossing, and from Souih Park ave- nuC, on the west, to Lake Michigan. This par- iskis tilling up with such dispatch thatitis proposed to cither build or purchase another church cdifice further north. Tne church is supplied with a srall organ and 2 good library, ‘which latter is well patronized. Services are beld twice on-cach Sabbath, at 9 and 10:30 a. m. The financial question with the church has pow been solved, ard it is entirely independent. Everything has been paid for, and not a cent is due to any one. There is at present some little money in the treasury, which will be expended next week in repainting the church. The Catholic Church, like all the others, has been®| beset by formidable dangers, but has sur- mounted every berrier, and now floats its ban- mer in pesce and prosperity; aud, as one looks - around upun ~the thriy- ipg parishes, onec cannot ut ad- mire the pluck, faith, cnd endurafee which have carried the Hyce Park churches throash every trial and embarrassment, and wish them equal suceess in the future. R DR. M’CHESNEY. IS RETCRN TO CHICAGO. The Rev. Dr. McChesney, formerly a promi- nent Methodist minister in this city, has been retarned to the field of his old labors, and as- sumes the pastoral charge of the Park Avenue Cliureh, where he will preach bis first sermon this morning. For the last two years the Doc- tor bas been stationed at St. Paul. The Lioneer- Pressof Oct. 1 has the following communica- tion relative Lo his labors there: Dr. McChegney, two % s gince, came to our city frum one of the lead ulpits of Chicago. He came at the request and by uppointment of Bishop Aucs. Seldom was a pastoral term begun under more disheartening circumstances. Aflairs in that church for years made the outlook Beem hopeless. The inténse bitterness of the Strife ttracted the attention of the city and the State. The leading facts connected with the case are too fresh in the public memory. Such a status of church affairs confronted a strange pastor. s Ppredecessors had been unable to calm’ the storm. e was brought here, we learn, to stop that strug- gie, and he did it most thoronghly. Grzdually und surcly he reorgimzed the church on-what L thosght to be a peace basir. His pre: tige lifted the finances of the cnrch forward, addi- tions to the membership became frequent, and now at the close of the second year, after having sent off utations 10 Flori- da and California, a huving lost by withdrawal of some eeventy members, 8iucc or- Elnlzed into 4 separate church, etill hus more mem- crs than at the bezinning of his pastoral term,and there is not in the whole State a more united and onjous church than Centenary. Aseaiied through the press, ang threatened with personal violence, he pursued his way without tlinching to the end. One muarked feature is, that not in a'single inst ither in a prayer, o ex- hortation, or di 1 the pulpit, did be aflude 10 the very unhappy difficuities, which a vear since Teached their coniciusion. 'rhe church cannot for- gethim. Many friends left behind will long clsim lis nemory. e goes to the same hureh which invited him to her pulpit two years ago. He'car- ries with him our best wishes and our warmest Lopee in his untsied deld for usefalness in the me- tropolis of the Northwest. The fact that ne Ppreaches his farewell sermon to-night 1 Cen- tenary will likely il that beatiful church! CENTENART. BAPTIST SEMINARY. JTS REMOVAL TO MORGAN PARK. Y The Exccutive Committee of the Baptist Theological Union have issued an address to the friends of the Chicago Baptist Union Theo- logical Seminary setting forth the reasons which haves moved the ion to remove the Seminary from this city to Morgan Park; the document is printed in full in the Standard, and covers nearly two columns of that paper. After etating that the removal did not have its origin m apy private .interest, but was brought about by thie manifest leading of God, the Committee proceed to give two reasons for their action. These arc that the new location is more advantageous than the present onej it is only forty-five micutes from the centre of the city, and no further in time from any North or West Side church than its present Jocation. it will promote study by remioving the students {rom the nois raction. and allurements of i The new site is on au clevated plateau, not exposed to the damp, cold winds of the Iake, and near a valuable artesian well. The sccond and more cogent reasor is a finan- cial one growing out of the fact that the endoy ment of the Seminary is incomplete. The in- Etitution Legan about ten years ago without suy equipment, and the times have not since bein auspicious for gaining an endowment; the large Boptist churches have become embar- rassed by the fires of 1571 and 1574, and by the panic of 1573, and have been unable to do what they gladly woztd. The Centennial movement Jor'an endowment, begun about a year 8go un- suniran resigned, to take charge | ex%:cled, but the work is far from complete. ‘he removal constitutes an important partin the work, as it enables the institution to dis- pose of its present site, and devote the proceeds 1o paying off fudebtedness. It also gives a new site and building free of cost, and also 100 acres of tand which will when sold add a considerable sum to the means of the Seminary. . The Commitiee close with a hope that the ac- tion will meet the approval of the friends of the institution. The change of location will not take place until September of next year. CANOSSA. THE. PAPAL CELEBRATION., The London Telegraph of Sept. 25 thus dis- cusses the proposition to celebrate the submis- sion of Canossa: The repudiation of any Wish to insult the great German ?Wp‘e does not deprive the proposal of the Papal organ. the Voce della Verita, to celebrate nest January tile octocentenary of the famons sub- mission of the Emperor Henry to Pope Gregory, at Canossa, of its objectionable and singularly in opportune character. **We shall not £o to Canos- e1," eaid Prince Bismarck, only eightecn months ago, and ench a cclebration us the one suggested conld have no other meaning than the assertion of s belicf that the incidents of ‘the remote past w onld sooner or Iater be renewgd In the strugale between the German Ewpire “and the Rowan Charch. Rome hasalways been particularly proud of the trinwph which she achieved 800 years ngo, over one of the most powerful and dauntless enemies by whom she was ever beset, The form_in which victorv aeserted itself was one peculinrly well caiculated at once to Jralify ihie domineering £pirit of an umbitione and vindictive Church, and 1o captivate and instract the popular imagination. Henry, after lying out in the snow—so, at least, the Papal account’ of the Emperor's submission loves to run—for three days and three nights, was at length admitted to the presence of the Vicar of Christ, and groveled on the ground before him, in token of repentance for unfilial diéobedience and unchristian rebellion. To those who read history rather for its lessous than for its picturcs the inci- dent presents sowiewhat different features, All that can be asserted with contidence is that Ifenry ought to be recouciled with the Papacy, which he bad previousty defied; und in craving for reconcili- atiou he accepted humilidtingterms from the power e’ found-it necessary to pacify, .. But his reasons were reasons of Statc. . He suwils eceptre slipping from his grasp througli the insubordinate temper of his vasxsls and the bold enterprites of his rivals. He &tood in need of allics: and the Church in those doye wasanally of no small value. Gregory, in order to exalt his own ofiice, attached to the price of his alliance conditions which typified the *upe- riority of ccclesiastical over teniporal dominion, even ‘in thix world: and the Emperor for the mo- ment yielded to the excetions of an unrelenting adversary. Dut the story of Henry did not end at Canosta, and Gregory himself Jived to be taught more exactly the meaning and the worth of the ubmitsion "of 3 mouarca whom he had once seen prostrate at his fect. Who are those wha will celebrate this octocen- tenary? We have never been able to convince ourselves of the lom or the propriety of all the measures taken by Priuce Bismarck against bis Roman Catholic countrymen. ~ Some of them were proper enough. but otliers were munifestly dictated )y 1 frritated and acrimonious temper, and fome few of them are Lut too well eclculated to try the lovalty of the Roman Catholics of Germany. In li probability the quarrel was purposely intensi- fied by the Imperinl Chancellor, partly in order to show” that ms personal power was irresistible, partly to divert publicattention from other matters to which it was inconvenient to_him that it should then be directed. But the Voce della Verila greutly deceives itself if it imaznes that the 15:- 000,000 of Romsn Catholics o be found in the German Empire, or any considerable portion of -them, would participate in the celebration it ecommends. Patriotism may be a scntiment which has of Iate years been surlkingly weakeried in some countries, our own, perhaps, having been the greatest suffercr from the lamentable chauge. But it is not to Germany that we must Jook ust now for any - diminution of that caithy and valusble fecling. 'The events, trials, and victories of the last ten years have welded the German people together with a force not easily affected even by violent domestic differ- encea of opinion; and we fully believe that any overt attempt to glorify a victory of Rome over o German Emperor, even' thongl achieved S00 years ago, would be_as universally resented in Germany as the aggression of France upon **Prussia" was in1870.” Thus the Papacy would find opposed to its theatrteal intentions the teachings of history and national eentiments alike. WG can scarzely ersuzde ourselves that the rash project of the ‘oce_della Verifu will obtain the imprimatur of the Vatican: There is no possivle parallel between the Germany. and Rome of the eleventh and the Germany and Rome of the ninetcenth centary; and the only signification that would attach to 3 Papal commemoration of the submission at Canossa would be the aflirmation of the principle that the State is but the sersant of the Church, and that ev- ers European Government is bound to frame its lairs and regulate its administration in conformity with the wishes and commands of the Ro- man Church. We are all only too well aware that ihis principle is the corner-stone of the Vatican, and that it was laid down in the broadest manner twelve years azo in the cele- Dbrated Encyclical Letter and Syllabus of Errors. But great us has been the publicity those docu- ments have enjoyed, mere publication, no matter how wide the circulation by which it may be fol- lowed, or how keen the, controversy by which it is accompanied, producesThe same: etfect on the pub- liemind us s showy pageant. The proclamstion of the dorma of Papal Infallibility would not have excited a teath part of the surprise or repugnance it Lias caused hiad it not been for the splendid and imposing ceremonies by which it was ushered in, A commemoration of Canossa would be equivalent to 3 chullenge uddressed to ail the Governments of the world. For however it may suic Pius IX. and his Cardinals to pick out Germany as the one egre- ious repudiator of Papal rights. the Sovarcign ‘ontifi is well aware that there is nota Court ora Cabinet which does not, with equal delermination, deny the allegéd supremacy of the ecclesiastical over the civil power. TEACHING IN TONGUES. THE BIGLE IN ONE BUNDRED LANGUAGES. The Philadelphia Bulletin, in the course of a series of sketches of the Centennial, has the fol- JTowing interesting one of the Bible pavilion: A little to the southward of Horticultural Uall, upon 4 shady walk leading from thence to the Dairy, 4 pretty pavilion, to which attention is at- d by 3 large upon its front, reading, ** Bibles in_One Hundred Languages." 1t js the pavilion of the American Bible Society, and we are 10ld it hay been erected -* by special contributions Dy a few friends of the Bible,” who have desired that a place should be sct apart In the Exhibition cclebrating the Centennial anniversary of the na- tion's birth for the especial displuy of the Book, the pure teachingy of which are the toundations of ail free and enlizhtened Government. The oddity of the sign attracts to the pavilion a good many people whe are by no means in the Buabit of reading the: Bible in any language ut 2li, and by whom its reproduction 11 100 languages i regarded only asan interesting litcrary cariosity; gea curiosity, oo, which needs to be examined before itis sccepted as an_abrolute fact. The number scems excessiveand to require the sub- stantaition of ocular proof. But as with the Bible jtaelf, the fullillment is greater than-the promize, for the 100 languages include many dialects, and the actual number of diffcrent versione of the holy work is no less than 164, A mere list of names is ot very enlivening rending, yet a list so frauzht with religions meaning—not ‘to mention its philo- logical value—asisthat into which the Bible has been translated, can scarcely prove uninteresting, and may therefore be given ns follows: English, Hebrew, Greek (ancient snd modern), latin, French, Spanish, Catalun, Portugeac, Indo-Portu- guese, Tialion, Vandois, Picdmontese, Komanese {Oberlandand Enghadine), Ronman, Welsh, Guelie, Irish, Manx, Breton.

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY., THE CRURCH IN GENERAL. The ‘New (Swedenborgian) Church in this country comprises ten associations, with 101 pastors. ‘The Mohammedans of India afe raising funds t0 help their *spiritual and temporal lord,” the Sultan of Turkey, who is being * harassed by the infidel.” The Warren Avenue Baptist Church, in Bos- ton, of which the Rev. George F. Bentccost is pastor, has beenarraigned by the proper author- ities _fur its principles and practice of open com- munion. Thes Episcopalians in the Diocese of Virginia have trained and sent out as teachersamong the colored people thirty-two persons in thelast five years. They now contemplate the establishment of a school to train colored ministers. Tlie congregation-of the Church of the Rock -of Ages (Reformed Episcopal) in Baltimore last weck passed resolutions chunging the nafue of their church to the * Bishop Cummins Memori- ol Church.” A church building will soon be erccted, and dedicated in that name. The Episcopal Superintendency of the Meth- odist Church during the last four years cost the Church nearly a quarter of a million dollars (8223,000.) . This sum must be raised hereafter bya taX uoou the whole Church. A little more than half of it was raised in this way during the last quadrennium. The corner-stoge of Emmanuel Church formed Episcopal), Newark, N. J., was Inid 11, and that of St. Panl’s, Moncton, New Bruns- wick, on Jthe following day. Six new orzan- izations Lave been effected since Aug. 1, aud stveral clerzymen liave been added to the ranks Methodist misstonaries in South India. The Rev. William Taylor, D. D., who died at Portlaud lutely, was the senfor Protestant min- ister of Montreal, both in age and in the minis- try. He came to Montrea? in 1833 or 1834 and gathered a congregation in eonnection with the United Secession Church of Scotland. Ie was from first to last an carnest and able vreacher of the Gospel, and a powerful champion of the total abstinence cause. Two tlever mechanics challenged the Temper- ance Society to a public discussion in the ygar 1835 or 1836, when the Rev. Mr. Taylor was “one of two persons appointed to sustain the temper- ance side. The meetings for discussion were very large ind very stormy, as multitudes at- tended who would attend no other kind of temn- perance meetings. Dr. Tu{‘lor was Moderator of the Assembly at which the Free Presbyterian Church and United Secession Church became one in Canada, and was universally respected. When rendercd infirm by agey s congresation _(Erskine Church) gave_him for colleazue the Rev. Mr Gibson, now Dr. Gibson, of Chicago, whose suceessar was the Rev. Mr. Black. c Henry Wilkes, D. D., President of the egational College, who commenced his ministry in Montreal in 18306, is now the senior minister of that city. ¢ It must be somewhat discouraging to our na- tive preachers to tind so_many leading pulpits taken possession of by miuisters brought from -abroad. Scotland especially, is the fruitful source whence our Presbyterian and Congrega- tionalist churches draw their preachers. We al- ready have in New York Dr.John IIall, at the great Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, the most popular preacher in_ the city, and a north of Ireland Scotchnan; Dr. Ormiston. of the Fifth Avenue Collegiate Dutch Reformed Chureh, an eloguent sermonizer and a thor- ough Scotchman; and Dr. Taylor, at the Broadway ‘Tabernacle. also a “very gifted preacher and also a Scotchman. And now the old brick church on Fifth avenue follows its neightors in gending abroad for a pastor. They asic the Rev. Llewel: 1yn D. Bevan, of London, to come hither to minister to them, offering him a salary of $6,000 a year and a furnished parsonage. Mr, Bevan's name scems to suggest a Welsh origin. From the Welsh race have sprung many elonuent pul- pit orators. Our theological seminaries must e turning out indifferent preachers if the in- stances we have named, and they arc only a part of the number, prove that in order to get ministerswwhose scrmons’shall be satistactory to eritfeal congregations, the wealthiest churches of this new but vigorous branch of Christ's Church. The Pnflndel?hin Catholic Standard says that Cardinal Manning and several other Catholic capitalists have been victimized by a Catholic agent, who has absconded, carrying off, it is es- tumated, some £90,000 sterling, belonging to the Cardinal and to varigus. ceclosiastical bdics,e Francisean Friars, Christian Brothers, Fathers of the Oratory, and Sisters of Charity, Concord, N. H., has a population of 16,000, of whom 11,000 are_sail to be regular attendants at church and Sunday-school. There sre prob- ably but few other places in the United States where such a state of things prevails. If the population of New York were thus to_become church-goers, the immediate ercction of one or two hundred new churches would become a ne- cessity. At the recent scssion of the California Meth- odist-Episcopal Confercuce a_resolution was passed requesting the Board of Bishops to ar- range for the residence of one of their number on the Pacitic coast, and inviting Bishop Harris to become the resident Bishop. A committee was appointed to open correspondence with the Board of Bishops on the subject, and to rdrunde, when necessary, an episcopal res- ence. The Boston Heraldiswilling towelcome Moody and Sankey to Boston, but cannot sec the use of spending $30,000 in getting ready for the meet- ings. Taking a busmess view of the matter, it says: “If Mr. Moody can’t come to Bostonand bewin work without a preliminary outlay of $30,000 before a word is spoken or suug, isn't he goingto be a dear investment ¥’ Other | ‘people are asking the same question, not out of any disrespect to Brother Moody, but purely as amatter of gospel economy. The call for such gigantic expenditure for meetings which last -but a short time, looks like a confession that the regular work of the churches is not a sue- cess.—.New York Sun. ‘The Reformed Episcopalians Iaid the corner- stone in New York a few days aro of what is to be a large and kandsome brown-stone cdifice, at the corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-fith street.

A meeting of delegates from the various tem- perance sovicties of Chicago assembled in Father Mathew’s Hall, West Harrison street, last Sun- day afternoon, for thc purpose of making ar- rangements to assist in laying the coruer-stone of the Rev. Father Carten’s church, on Thirtysev- enth strect to-day. _After the mecting was called to order, Mr. Dennis Gleason was elected Chair- man, and Richard McDonough was elected Sec- retary.

MICHIGAN BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION, Special_Correspondence of The Tribune.

Speciat_Correspondence of The Tribune. Bostoy, Mass., Oct. 19.—Justiu McCarthy says that American women are “littie petti- couted Gladstones,” and that they bave mot long passed the age of pantalettes before they “amaze’the unaceustomed foreigner by plung- ingat once into some complicated political questionzand talking of it with perfect flu- eney, and with o knowledge that seems to be genuine.” « 1 thought of this the other day as Istood in the lower hall of the Parker House *ladies’ en- trance,” waiting for the elevator. Wendell Phillips, and another younger politician, and two of those “little petticoated Gladstones,” “met by chance.” Phillips and the younger man were in conference about Butler, the re- doubtable Ben, with whom they are both * hand in glove™ just._now, either man being roundly abused by Phillips a few years back. But politics makes strange alliances, and there is none stronger than this marriage—‘‘a morganatic m(arr ge ™ as some newspaper wittily calls it— ol % THE WIDOW BUTLER and Wengell Phillips. Butto the little Glad- stones: One shook her head over the “wid- ow,*and admonished Mr. Phillips playfully, but with 'that sagacity which McCarthy says * Scems t0 be genwine.” “Then she hit King Wendell a sharp fime rap on his soft-money principles,and the king returned it with one of his Machiavel- lian society sentences, which, with their polish and grace of concealment of ideas, are in such curiously direct contrast to the bold, reckless expressions of his platform cloguence. The other little Gladstone went for Butler and Phillips unconditionally, and talked wisely and sympathetically on the Soft-money side. = And Phillips and the other man listecer accepted it all with due deference; yet, all the same, I have my doubts if it impressed them. I have strong suspicions thay it went in at one ear and out at the other, for I have strong suspicions that they, with other men, are not impressed with opinions and doctrines that must be mor or Jess rejlections of somebody clse’s opinions; for, asa wiscand a liberal man, who, I wish to state at the outset, believes in women_having cvery- thing they want, from a vote to a Paris gown— 8s this wise man said: HJIOW CAN EVEN INTELLIGENT WOMEN ENOW AS ATCU OF POLITICAL MATTERS as o man of ordinary capacity who is in the world of polities and business, one thing educating wito the other? Every turn in the wheel, every change of prices, esch smallest de- tail in the progress of his business, is more or less affected by the political situation; and by reason of this he receives a daily education and acquires a minute knowledge of-aflzirs which no woman ever aequires.” ~But however much or little a. woman may know of these *dirty details,” she kuows enough to ap- |‘1recinzc such an extmordinuitg?:ifimn, or re- his ap reciation is cither from Jiis personal qualities, his mag- netism, which maie his devotees “go it blind,” to use a choice bit of.slang, oritis froma broadler basis -nd really one mich more com- plimentary to Mr. Phillips,—that of conditional acceptance; that is, the acceptance of a pro- testing opponent to his-views and action,—an ralnary :\cccPt:mu: of he fact of this extrao man's erratic: and inconsistent course, not on scseptance of his beliefs. Itis this attitude which znany men occupy to- wards Mr. Phillips.

YELLOW FEVER, Special: Correspondence of The Tribune. S4vANNAT, Ga., Oct. 17.—I was the only lady on the train to this unfortunate city, with per- baps half a dozen gentlemen whese business wede it imperative to steal in oceasionally. The e of the whole ¢ity is hushed and awful. Tke few people who are Sbliged tv go about do so wournfully, a8 if they were making their last lvetrip. There is no gayety, no smile, nolangi to be heard. Of a population of 30,000, half of whom were colored, only 7,000 whites remain of pecessity, and 14,000 nezroes. The lat already being fed, clothed, and * fucl the time the Benevolent Association was formed for matters of relief of all kiuds, the negroes instituted a lively attemptto riot. Indeed, the whites are on a constant lovkout fur truuble from their colored brethren. The fors not only to attend to their owu busin which this year Lad been three or four times greater than for manv yoars, but they have the extra meatal, physicil, and. moral strain of &ceping the blacks .iu order,—uo light duty in addition to the perplesities arising from the yetlow fever. The city is really depopulated. Everybody has left that could get away, Al thewomen and children were carly At the time when the people fully necessity to fly, the stampede was'at the rate of 1,500 3 day, more_than_could be furnished car accommoaation. There is an uncomfortable fecl- ing crecping through one while Eassi throueh the city, ind meeting only a few hurried, anxious white nen, the slow, indiiferent colored folks, but not a single white woman to cross y path, though your walk extends for sev hours. Allretail business is arrested entirel with the exception of two or three dr one dry-goods place, and 8 few groce other white folks remafning are doctors (conld they cver be suppressed?), city officials, and cot- ton-merchants. The clerzy have sulfered 'death more than any other body of menj they are bold and indefatigable ~in their duty to the dyinz. In proportion to the number of dcaths, the druggists. have lost more than any other class of business. The nuum- ber of victims among men is far greater than among women. The sexes suffer alike under the aze of puberty. In former epidemics the {ull-biooded negro was excmpt as u_ruie, then the mixed biack und white, then white women, and lastly white meco, but the cent nial year has finally put the white and bl races on a level, and in a manner from which there is no appeal, viz., yellow fever. Tnis had been the hottest swnmer for forty vears, Le- ginoning wjth a long season of drenching rain, and foliowed by weeks of intensest heat, with no kindly thunder-storms interspersed to puriiy the atmospNere. A few prominent businesses had prospered better than for some years, but the general - business had been so” depressed here that the laboring classes have had ployment whatever this summer, and m: suffered from hungzer and other concomitant wants. Consequently, the very poor and the wealthy have suffered alike froin mortality—the one from underfeeding and deprivation, the other from overfeeding and too high livieg nerally. While the temperate in food, fitink, and gemeral havits are the last to succumb . from the dis- ease, or fear of it, which kills so many of both races and scxes, About the only business done here now is that of. the doctors who belong to the Benevolent Association, who bave a salary (though this would be too undignitied to be a- plied to thé medical profession), conveyance, &nd medicine furnished” them. There are hall- a-dozen impromptu hospitals, cach having, on an average, forty or fifty yellow-fever patients. The St. Joseph's, however, a“Catholic_institu- tion, has had 8 daily average of 115 suffer- ers from this fever. A fraction over cne in eight cases die. Those who lLave the fever die within four days, or show de: symptoms of convalescence, or it may take tha form of low typhoid, the patient lingering pe Taps three or four weeks, then dies tro haustion or relapse. They are oblized to he buried at once. The mortality from this fever thus far is not under 1,400, while that from the regular will bring the deatli-rate to fully 2,600 persons. Everybody is tired out.

But the facts Dbear strongly agaiost this, in that while the na- tives and the habituated to the causes die rap- idly, and, a5 4 matter of course, the proporiion of deaths and illness among strangers is 1y very small. The physiciuns and strangers : on a,par in this matter. Both parties are pro- tected against its inroads, because both are fear- less, and realize the necessity of taking care of themselves intelligently and_ paticutly. More- over, reports lose sight of the Important fact that it is easier to count s!r.m?ers and phy: cians than the various people who arc constantly recognized as part aud parcel of a town. 1 overheard a very active doctor tell another that, with an averaze of forty or fifty patients since the epidemic began, he had saved only 2o of the whole number, and, as he eandidly said, “They woula have gotten well anyhow.”” And yet some advertise of making 150 visits daily for seven conseeutive days! To do justice at this rate is impossible, especially as in this frightful scourge hygienic meaus are paramount to medicine, and where the nurses are iznorant, erstitions, dumb, and overworked. To t!
