Two physiclans of experience, ' Interviewed yesterday, gave it as their opinton that the dis- eare, while (£ might be confined to a few cacce, would spread In' s northeasterly directfon so long as it could find food, and that we might as well make un our minds to_besr with the pest until the firat black frost. The * American En- cvclopedia® says. on the contrary, that the limit of the life of yelluw fever {s within sixty days, frost or nu frost, but that frost will kill it.” ‘This statemont scems to he borne out by the experience of both Cuba and Rlo Janeiro, In the former, in the months of December and January, 69 degrees and 8 minutes fs the mean thermometrical average, and fn summer it scl- doin rises above 82 or 80 degrees, and s de- ression In winter as low as 10 to 65 degrees b minutea I8 rare, At 44 degrees we usuaily have here, in Memphis, a sllght frost; but for a killing black frost we have to wait for adecline to32 deg., which some- times, with us, does not come until late in De- cember, In Rio Janciro themean temperature, 03 obscrved through thirty years, was T3 deg.; the maximum in the hotteat month (December) was 894 dew., minimum 70der., mean, 79 deg. § in July (the coldest month), maximuu 9 dee, minimum 60 deg., mean 735 deg.

After raining mostof the night the morning was cloudyand cold np to about noon, when it cleared off, and this after- noon 18 very hot. Dr. D, W.

Those are the only persons who are well of those who were in Grenada four weuks ago. Tho others are DEAD OR DYING or got away froin the town when the first scare took pluce. Fesy wers to be seen on the street, and only the deifrious cries of tho stricken and the low whispers of the narses and phyaicians were hieard on the street. *1t was o sad thing to think of,” sald Mrs. Hart, * that Grenada, which had always held its doors wide open to the refugecs from Mein- phis and New Orleans, should thus close them against the poor sufferers, and it was awful to sec the trains that wo had been used to sce atopping every day at our very doors hureying through the town at- the rate of thirty or forty mies an hour, with - CLOSED WINDOW AND IARRED DOORS, as if Grenadn were s voritable black hole, and the slightest breath of §ts atmospticre wero recking with death, But so it was.
