Eheu 1 I beglo to realize that I havo aoraethlng to do with this world’s af fairs. My nurse. Mrs. Delaney, has just stepped out, and my glance falls on somq.cumbers of the Picayuno ly ing on her chair. By a mighty optical effort I try to read the telegraph head ings on the corner bent up on the back of a chair, but everything becomes blurred and I relinquish the vain at tempt. The door opens without any preliminary knock, and an intelltectual looking young mulatto, arrayed In a spotless white suit, approaches my bedside. He has studied at Oberlin, Is a graduate of medicine in France, and an assistant to my physician, who has a large practice, which has swollen to immense proportions during the last three months. I talk about my illness, my prospective restoration to complete health, my desire to write letters, and he answers me by a deprecating smile and a wave of his tapering brown fin gers. But I insist that I must do something, and he finally consents that I shall dictate short epistles to my friends. “ We don’t want to lose you now, after all our trouble iu getting you round. Why, Dr. Choppln is telling about your case all over the city. That is the reason you have had so tnany medical callers.” I look at the young doctor stolidly while my brain Is slowly evolving ideas which are only expressed in words like these ; ” Oh, unparalleled egotist, to harbor for one moment the Idea that these groups of keen-eyed men were philanthropists whose hearte were touched by your frightful sufferings and unhappy fate. Bah I What a fool you are ! The mother who - Imagines the doctoi loves her sick child has the excuse of maternal interest and femi nine weakness fot her ridiculous ego tism. But you, poor, dilapidated, yel- low-visaged wreck, without home, family or relatives lu this plague- stricken city . I mused thus with closed eyes. When I opened them the doctor had ; departed, and Mrs. Delaney, with her antediluvian straw ttotlyicg where she j had placed it on my trunk, was busy I measuring out another of those horri- 1 bie modicums of execrable physic | which are considered the correct thing | for my present situation. “Mrs. Delaney!” "Gloiy bo to G,od, but yer voice is as loud as a bull!'’ she ci!»d, getting over a little start. “ I want to write.” “ Yet z can’t do It.” “ I want some one to write for me.” “ lecz can’t do that ayt her.” “ But the doctor has allowed mo to dictate, and you wouldn’t bo so ” “ What docther—the young wan ?” “ Yes.” “ I don’t care a schnap what ho says. Ah ! well, yeez needn’t cry now. Sure, an’ I mane it for the hist. Yeez must when something like a cricket bat struck mo on the back, and I felt a terrible decrease In vitality. Why do I say a cricket bat? Because It felt as though a light pleco of wood, fash ioned like the flattlsb, rounded blade of a cricket bat, had struck me square ly, but not very hard, across the back several Inches below the shoulder blade. I sink into the chair. A dull butovermosterlng pain shoots through my head ] my limbs trem^o. I stare with pertinacity at the game, however. My favorite player has an apparently impossible shot. lie looks at the sit uation of the balls and whistles depro- cailngly as he chalks hi* cue. With a swift motion, as if ho had made up his mind for a coup difficile, he shoots his ball against the object sphere. His Ivory globe spins swiftly round the table, making one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight cushions, twice round the table, and carroms. The spectators hum applause. An enthu siastic, swarthy-faced Creole pounds his stick on the fioor. My head be* o*mes oppressed with a load of pain, and cold chills shoot up my back. . * * # * # * “Where do you live?” asks ■the swarthy face. I look half yacantly In his face and gurgle, " No. — Baronne street.” The billiard room, cromled a moment before, is empty. w . My landlady is an old north of Ire land woman, and she has kept board ing bouse in New Orleans for thirty years. Her husband died of yellow fe ver during a bad season before the war, and she manages her extensive business with the help of her unmar ried daughter. My room Is In a build ing rented by her across the way for single men’s • qpartmems, and the roomers In that house come across the way for their meals. “ Don’t be afraid, now,” said the old lady; “I’ll get Mrs. Delaney for yo, and we’ll get you through. The doc tor will be round In a little while.” “Give me some lee water,” I cry and gums. My tqngtte is swollen, and there are raw fissure In It and also In my gums, and streams of blood issu ing all the time. Afto* a while my nose contributes a blood} stream, apd I faintly ask Mrs. DelaApy If I am going to blfcod to death. " ; no danger of that. Bleeding is n ijood sign,” she says. I swallow limp water and cal cined magnesia, wiifca 1 am informed prevents black vomlt.T My eyes, which have been aching terdbly, now become fiercely Inflamed and seem to be ready to start out of my head.

The bloody discharge from my mouth and nose continues, and a glance at the mirror on a chair at my bedside shows that my features havo acquired a striking resemblance to an enraged yellow gorilla. " If ye git the bloody sweat, yer gone,” says Mrs. Delaney, with charm ing sympathy. I learu from her that a fatal symp tom of yellow jack is a universal bleed ing from the pores of tho skin, and that when this makes Its appearance the patient may as well throw up tho sponge.

Ho has all tho physical and mental characteristics of tho Irishmab’s American son bom and bred in a largo city. Johnny Is sharp, fairly educated, but a confirmed hoodlum.

He comprehends that the mid night murder, Iho awful r.eeident, the tragic suicide,, the criminal trial, the big sporting events of tho day, from a prize fight or a regatta down to a game of base-ball, are all witnessed by newc- paper men, and he looks up to me as an authoritative source of golden In formation. Will he write as I dictate? Of course he will. Is he not afraid of catching the fever? No; he has been there. All right. / * j It is six weeks or rather more since I lounged into th* billiard room of the St. Charles Hotel and looked at the fiyjng Ivory spheres as they were being manipulated by two local.crack play ers. There Is yellow fever in the city, though the newspapers aay nothing on the subject. One of the players, as he .chalks bis cut?, makes a jesting allu sion on the arrival of “ Bronze John.” I have been feeling an Inexplicable sensation growing over me, enveloping my limbs, covering my back, and swathing my chest with a garm^t of shuddering uneasiness. I didirt^ke the player’s remark. I inwardly wish* od that his opponent might beat him that game, and I strode toward one of the -seats against tho %oil. I was about turning around to sit down, man, had died. Mrs. Delaney does not pretend to be very sorry. She is slx- ty-one years of age. but moro iioijye than many a young woman of twenty. She knows her business thoroughly, aud Hhs no vain sentimentalism In her composition. In the intervals of my restless tumblings about the bed I commune with Mrs. Delaney. Her first experience with yellow fever was many years ngc£-in the bad season of 1837—when her first husband was a victim to tho plague, and she was left alone with a baby to fight the ^battle of life. She married again, she tells me, and her second husband is not dead yet. Slid remarks in a crisp voice that she doesn’t know where he is, and she doesn't care. We change the subject. I find tjint I cannot possibly die to day. This is tho second and conse quently an ete-n number of days. I may die to-morrow, which Is Wednes- dey, tho third day, or I may become defunct on Friday, the fifth day, or I may shuffle off this flsry, superheated coil on Sunday, the seventh day, or I may lingo* in agony till tho following Tuesday, the ninth day, but I can scorch, and burn, and gnsp, and yell on any of-the intervening days with out fear of death. I study this theory overdn a wild, unconnected way, and think it odd. Ifiood sweat or black vomit has no ter rors for mo; I would just us soon havo both of them together. She says “ Shut up !” but says it softly, aud en deavors to arrange the sheet in which my tortured/orm is partially enwtap- ped. Tho contact of the mere cloth on my abdomen makes me shriek, with agony. I rise from tho bed frantically aud approach the windpw, and my burning eyes are saluted fry a funeral procession, preceded by a hearse with nodding plumes. Shocked, in spite of a recklessness born of fierce pain, I He down again, but no position gives mo comfort. The fiery heat which con sumes my abdomen Is supplemented with horrible pains In my loins, thighs, calves, knees and ankles, and even toes, which feel as thopgh scraped by a razor and^then gnawed by a dog’s sharp teeth. The pain la my head be comes moro intense, and so does the agony in every part of my lK>dy. No position gives ease. My stomach and bowels have aLurning boat, as though scalded by boUhtg water or burnt by coals of fire, and I shriek and, blas- phetqe and curse my nurse and land lady for not adequately assuaging my thirst. I He on my back or side, with knees drawn up, aud objurgate God and man. Then there slowly comes a change. My skin, which during the first three days was hot and dry and afterwards, on the fourth day, slightly moist, now perspires freely. Worn out, come ou an odd day, and t have always found it so meellf,” says Mrs. Delaney. “Can ye spit?” Thd^change of sub ject is too abrupt, and I stare at her vacantly. '“Spit In that. Humph! Is yer mouth sore? It is ; well, that’s good. Ye’ll lose a power o’ blood out of yer moult.” Neat day the doctor decides that I am afflicted with qpL°taxla (I don’t know whether I havo spelled it right). It is blooding from Lhu mouth, tongue The docthers say the croisis mtu# I He gasping and groaning and still af flicted with pain and thirst. The doc tor Is summoned and comes with his brown, genteel assistant, and says he rather thinks I will be all right fn a few days. He looks pleased, so does his assistant. Mrs. Delaney Is cool and unmoved. As night approaches she lights the gas (the light does not hurt my eyes at all (aud lets down the the night curtains, and, seeing that I armtolera- alive and bly quiet, asks If she can leave me for for half an hoar.

Tho saloons of New Orica* are generally called coffee houses, and a number of them keep the fragant de coction of the bean of Yemen always on hand.

I make my way over tho pave ment on my hands and knees. I pause unobserved under the veranda of the groggery aud gaze with feverish de sire on Something whtoh stands on the counter. My head burns fiercely with my unwonted exertion. Finally, with a supremo effort, I stagger across the room to the bar, lift up the battered pewter ice-pitcher to my lips and com mence drinking, To'my dying day will declare that draught^ho sweetest ever drank by man. The next moment there was a hurried movem^t. Two of the men ran out with a howl of hor ror. Tho landlord euatched tho pitch er from my lips, and his companion seized mo in his arms. These " dagos” aro not afraid of yellow fever. I caught a sight of a yellow-faced demon in the mirror at tho same time, and then all was dark. * * 4**4 “ I don’t care, doctor, I won’t do nothing for him.

Two weeks to a day after my first attack I felt, an ovejjpoweriug nausa in my stomach, and ray mouth filled. My nurse said not a word, but turned deadly pale. As I saw an Inky substance before me in the basin, I said lightly : “ This is the black vomit, isn’t it?” No answer. I repeated the question, and Mrs. Delaney put up her apron, like a true Irish dame, and took refuge In tears. “ Bah 1” said I with a sinking heart, though feeling singular- free from pain, “ The black vomit can’t kill me!” Mrs. Delaney, after a few sobs, strikes a bell on the table twice and- slips down to tho door. A Httle darkey from over the way receives her mes sage, aud In a little while my landlady comes Id.

Details of the rthocklag; Occur* reuce—TliC Y>mkcI ftluk* With r.ight Hundred l*cople ou llourd. ; < . [News and Lwurk-t ] London, September 4.—Tho excur sion steamer Princess Alice, which was rnn Into and sunk with such frightful results lalt evening, was one of the largest saloon steamers of the London Steamboat Company. She left London at 11 o’clock yesterday for Gravesend and Sheerness, many ex cursionists being Induced by tho fine weather to go for a holiday trip. The vessel left Gravesend on her return trip soon after ft o’clock lu tho even ing, and arrived in sight of the Royal Arsenel at Woolwich about ft*o’ck>ck. Tho Bywell Castle was then approach ing on the opposite course. The two steamers wore near the middle of the stream, just off the City of London Gas Works at Beckton and below Ngrth Woolwich Gardens, almost the precise spot where a fatal collision oc curred between tho Metis and the Wentworth ten years ago. What happened is impossible ac curately to detail. All that is known amid tho maddening excitement Is that the screw steamer struck the Princess Alice on tho port side, near the fore sponson. A scene, which has go parallel on the river, ensued. A few, very few, persons clambered on the other vessel, but nearly all rush ed to the after part of tbs Princess Alice as the bow subsided gradually under water. The shrieks were fear ful, ifnd notbing could be done to save life. There was a doz-ra or more life boys on board, and some boats were swinging In the davits, but, even if they could havo been got at, they would have been of Httle service un der tho circumstances. Within five minutes tho Princess Alice keeled com pletely over, and went down In deep water. Some small boats hastened to tho scene, and the Duke of Teck, an other steamer belonging to the same company, which was also on its pas sage up the river with a party of ex cursionists, went to the rescue: but the river for a hundred yards was full of drowning people screaming In anguish and praying for help, and, as It was growing dark then, not much could bo done to save them. It Is believed that not moro than one hundred and fifty persons escaped out of eight hundred aboard ^he vessel. The Princess Alice was a long and low river steamer, built for excursions down tho Thames, of which the mid dle and lower classes of Londoners are very fond. She had saloons on the forward and after decks and her passenger carrying capacity was un usually large. A large proportion of her passengers last evening were on the upper or saloon deck, and must ii .• *■ On Wednesday ks^ | ty, In tie Talley Pialn occurred an event which nisb the footjkttoTSl story.

ThB;AWW women got into a quarrel about their < lover, and during the quarrel j Kteu Bryant shot Mrs. Lea toe with 4ptiU% wounding her severely, if not fnuiiy She was Immediately arrested, and on Thursday had a preliminary examtaa^ tlon before one of the jutthMi of the peace, pt Yallfty Plain* After hearing the case tfce Court ^ bound her over under a $2,000 bend taT * answer the charge of assault wijth fct* tent to murder. She waa taken Into custody by an officer and placed- at* the house of a neighbor until her bond could be arranged.

She is now at luge, and aw the mA about whom ttyi quanrel supposed to have origthafed, Is also missing, it Is presumed that th* pair m went off together. We have purposely omitted calling the name of the mag supposed to be Involved In thin because the particulars* aa gtvwrto were meagre, and we await a fuller ac count before making public mention of him.

In a letter adt dressed to the public, which was found in his safe, he says : “By one hour of neglect I have wrecked my own hap : pioess. I have been robbed* whether through negligence or not I am at a low to say, but such to the fact. I cannot meet my bondsmen, I caanot meet my friends, with suspicion written In their faces. I have raised sufficient money to carry me safely and securely acroes the ocean.” , This letter was written on the night of the jlst ult. A letter received from the fugitive yesterday, postmarked Cincinatti, August 28th, said -that he was making for Canada or England. He is evidently Insane, as he .left suf ficient property to meet all bis liabili ties. He Is due .the sheriff’s office from $1,800 to $2,000, and has left available assets to the amount ot $2,800. * • • ';«f l “A veritable joint-snake’’ has beeto captured In Georgiy The pupil of tto eye Is not oval not tto.head diamond- shaped ; its largest diameter to .about . rr ■T-t ----- V doom, but those la the sterp of the steamer had no warning until they heard the crash and found the pas sengers from the forward part of the veasol runn-sg to the after part. Be yond the fact that the tide was about two hours ebb, which would enable the Princess Alice to ease and stop sooner than the screw steamer, which would be borne on by the tide, it 1s Im possible to discover any of the circum stances Immediately preceding the ooUision. Before the boats came into collision,' there were cries from one to the other to keep out of the way, but as usual in such cases the accident was probably due to misunderstand ing, the one misinterpreting the In tention of the other.
