PARIS, July 31, 1878.
In spite of the tropical heat of tbe
past week, the number of visitors to tho
Exhibition has hot materially diminish
ed, and yet it !? tolerably hot in the gal
leries of the Champ do Mars, and tbe
sun burns down mercilessly on the prom
enaders out of doors. Still, there aro
shady nooks herc and there. If there 'in
the least breeze stirring it ia to be felton
tho Troc.'.dero terraces, wbeie tho flowera
and grass aro kept fresh by a system ef
incessant watering, and whore the foun
tains and cascada help to cool tho air.
8ince it bas been found impossible to
imitai a military band in tho Exhibition
grounds, several of the restaurants have
set np music of their own. One band
playa at tho British bar, and another at
tho Spanish cafe. Several nm di buffets
for the sale of cakes and iced drinks arc
newly opened, and the visitors, including
iadies and children, are njyr weil sup
plied in this respect ; they may also buy
Turkish sweetmeats, Algerian fruit, Rus
sian kumes, English buna, Parisian graf

Carrousel is now visible from all , arts ol

for 20 francs each person. I'j tho mean

Thoso do not, however, refer to any c

fore tho jury. Tho mouths of tho tw
instruments were placed together, an

tinctly in the telephone reception rooi

tho interlocutor at Versailles sang a
original song through the telephon
which was taken down in tho phom

Agaluftt Increased Malignancy.
NEW OBLEANB, Sunday, Aug. ll.
Although the yellow fever continues
to spread here it contin -ss to be of a
mild type. The Board of Health ha? de
cided to continue the quarantine against
vessels coming from infected porta, on
the ground that a far more malignant
form of the disease than now exists might
bo introduced. Sisier Loyola Lawler
died of tho fever on Thursday. Four
new case? aro reported at Port Fads.
During the twenty-four hours, ending at
12 o'clock yesterday, there were thirty
five new CnSCS und eight deaths. Since
I then, to tho name time to day, there have
been twenty-two lier casca and fourteen
death*. At Port Ksds, so far, there have
been altogether five deaths and twenty
five cases.
A private letter from New Orleans to
Dr. F. li. Babbit, of Philadelphia, under
dato of July 30, sayH tho physicians en
deavor to keep quiet about tho prevalence
of the yellow ft. cr, ami ?ueeeeded meas
urably for three weeks or moro, until it
had broken out in four or five ditlerent
parts of tho city, when thc truth could
be concealed no longer. This corres
pondent continues :
"Then ensued a panic such us i? rarely
witnessed. The people left in exowdn,
.by every posaiblj moe cf conveyance,
but there is still abundunco of new ma
terial for the plagun to work upon, and
we all know from its being so widespread
that neither carbolic acid nor anything
elso can stay ita progr?s. It will prove
a great calamity to oar commerce. Al
ready we are shut out from all the world,
and our fall trude, which was just be
5inning, is virtually gone. Bugging or
en for town? along the river ami 'lexHM
have been countermanded by telegrams,
and cotton will be late coming in. Ves
sels will not come to un infected port,
and our harbor will KOOII bo hare of ship
ping. It is a sad prospect-too so: aw
ful and painful to contemplate. Tho
people who have gone away will not re
turn until cold weather comes. Mean
while our streets will be nearly deserted."
The New Orleans Tunta of the 2d in
stant reports that very many children aro
being attacked by yellow fever in that
city, and remarks : The health authori
ties oay that tho time-honored theory
that natives are exempt from thc (linea.1 o
is exploded by actual experience. They
state that the reason why children of
tender years aro attacked now is because
thin is the first time since their birth
they have been liable to attack. Not
since 1867 hos thc disease been general,
and many now sick were born sinco thou.
Tho sporadic cases that have occurred
within the last eleven years were con
fined to npecific localities and kept with
in restricted limits by disinfection.
Children, although residents of tho city,
remained away from the infected dis
tricts, and, of course, were no more liable
than they would bo in the mountains.
It is believed by the health authorities
that every resident of tho city must pass
through some species of acclimation. In
the cases of some children tho disease ?B
so masked that it is impossible to diag
nose it, and in their opinion the reason
why so many children nro sick now is be
caune fur the first time in their lives the
atmosphere has been in a miasmatic con
dition to bring on the disease. The
health authorities claim an unanswerable
demonstration of tho beneficial results of
carbolization, stating thnt in every lo
cality where carbolic acid has been freely
sprinkled the disease was checked. Con
stance street, near Race, is cited as an
exnmplo; the neighborhood of tho Com
mercial Hotel is given as another iii?
stance. The sanitary authorities are
promptly disinfecting every locality
where the disease makes its appearance,
and hopo in thc end to accomplish its
suppression."
There hus been no epidemic in New
Orleans since 1853, when three hundred
deaths vero reported in one day. One
day in tho middlo of August of that year
the interments reported were 315. Thia
ia still known as the "Black Day," and
never since or before wat that numbor
reached.
AN INTERESTING TALK.
lion. J. C. H. Blackburn, of Kentucky, an
tho Political Situation.
WABHINOTON, August 0.
Representative Blackburn, of tho
Democratic Congressional Committee,
.was asked to-day how his committee war
nrogreasing in tneir work. Ile replied:
We are getting along nil right. The
statement that 1 cauuot get thc members
together and down to work, is not true ;
the Republicans, however, are perfectly
welcome to what little capital they can
make out of that misstatement. The
committee is organized and doing work ;
the resident committee is also perfectly
on ita feet."
"What are your prospects in the
coming election ?"
"I put thirty-six district.'! in tho doubt
ful list, which any Republican would
fdace in tho same category ; making al
owance for these, for others I can say,
without any doubt as to the accuracy of
the prophecy, that wo are going to hold
tho next house by a larger majority than
we now have. Some of our gains will
be in Nevada and California. We will
also redeem three, if not four, of the
Missouri Republican districts."
"Then you attach much importance to
the fall elections as bearing on tho
Presidential election ?"
"Yes, I attach great importance there
to."
I i "Do you think the Republicans will run
Grant ?"
"I do not ; but I hope thoy will. He
could not carry ton States. The South
would givo him no support."
"Wh*t are the prospects for tho cam
paign ?'.
"Oh, we have a number-the Repub
licans havo only tho bloody shirt. . This
is tba only peg upon which they can
hang any hope. Charlie Foster sounded
the key note bf bis party when he called
for a 'Solid North' against a 'Solid
South.' The Republican party can
never cain anything in the South. It ia
on entirely different ground that it st?nde
down there. ? In the North it is indigen
ous to the soil, but in tho South it is an
exotic that can take no root. The South
ern people, relieved from thc military
yoko, look forward to prosperity and a
revival of business. They are convinced
thai auch a result cannot be obtained
under a dominant Republicanism, and
look for ,some reversal of power. i;ho
?>?mccrfltic- party is their only hope,
and to it they will cling. The South is
now. tho barrenest of, fields for tho poli*
tical adventurer to hunt in."
"Do yon estimate the Nationals as
i having much strength ?"
"They will be a potent factor io the
election. At the recent elections in
Pennsylvania they polled 40,000 votes;
at the next they will poll at least 70,000.
Their principles have become popular
and their strength wiii extend, bat aa a
?moral thing the.^ will not bother us,

Communistic phase wherever it ia

Kentucky their leader' ra Blanton - min

his Ufo. The! Onol destiny will be, af
ter creating a disturbance, to disappear."
"You have seen Mr. Springer's remark
that 'enough h*d been aereloped by the
Potter committee to warrant the im
peachment of Hayes?"
"Tho firat question, is, 'Did Mr.
mmsmmrsmsmmwsaHssssasaMSMs^
Springer ear that V I do not ace what
they want Hayes out for. I do not. He
has given the South local government
and tue privilege of governing herself
without interference from outsiders.
Besides, if we shorld put him out, we
should have no grov nee with which to
go before the country during the nert
campaign. The people would cay :
'What if you viere cheated out of your
President, did you not put the other
man out? I am very well satisfied with
affairs as they are." .
"You are not a Hayes man 7"
"No indeed. He u a complete^ froud.
Ho is a fraud by his title; bia pro?
fessions ore fraudulent ; his policy ia
fraudulent, and he ia a consummate
failure in everything that bo bas under
taken. Hin civil service reform^ pro
fession? are certainty the most ridicu
lous in tbe history of politics. A vigi
lant deputy aheriff, after searching all
through the governmental service,
could not find a titled thief who waa not
rewarded for helping bim steal the vote
of several States."
"How doe? the South aland toward
him ?"
"It i* willing to make ?. frank and
cheerful acknowledgment for what he
has done for them. This be could not
help doing according to bis oath, and
on account of tho action of a Democrat
ic House refusing to vote sufficient
money for au army to keep the South
down, lt does not break through and
run into the ranks of the Republicans."
"Do you think the splitting up of par
ties in Tennesseo ia due in any way tt
the President's Southern policy ?"
"No ; that is tbe result of tho fight be
tween tho State credit men, and thi
party that wishes to scale tho State debt
I carno through Tennessee, and talket
with most of ber leading men ant
know this to bo tho case. I also judgi
that Tennessee will not repudiate he
debt."
During tho interview Mr. Blackburi
spoke of "the prospects of the two nor
tics, according to the logic of events.1'
Tho reporter asked him what he mean
by that phrase.
"I mean," said Mr. Blackburn, "tho
ibero has been no instance in tho politic
of this country wbero a party bas game
control of both Houses of "Congress thr
it did not elect the next President. Tb
Democrats are certain of the next tw
Houses, snia.ro no less certain of elec

(?EN RB AL SCOTT'S 1} AUG UTE H. j
The Trae Story of Her Lore and Titer Kater
lug a Convent,
Kew York World,
WAJJHISOTON, August 7.
In the gossip which followed the an*
nouncoment that General Sherman's ?on
had left for Europe to become a Catholic
priest, a story was told of thc romantic
circumstances attending the career of one
of General Winfield Bcott'B daughters,
who died in the Con vent of the Visitation
at Georgetown. This Htoty waa to the
effect that Mis? Scott fell deeply in love
with an attache of a foreign legation,
who loved sincerely in return. The
match was opposed by General Scott,
and through his instrumentality broken
off. She went heart-broken to a convent,
and he prepared himself and was admit
ted to the priesthood. In course of timo
he was ordered to Georgetown College,
and a portion of his duties consisted in
hearing the confections of the nuns at
college. On one of th?se occasions Miss
Scott knelt iu the confessional to her
former lover. Each recognized the other.
Shi- fainted, went into a rapid decline
and soon died. Ho left tho country.
The true story of the affair, as related
by a friend of the family of General
Scott, is much less romantic than the
talo of the gossips. Nearly forty years
ago Mra. Geueral Scott was living in
Paris with her family, the younger
daughters being pupils io the Convent
of tho Sacred Heart. She moved in the
highest circles ol Parisian society, and
ber eldest daughter was known because
of her exceeding beauty and culture as
"La oelle Amcricaniue." A Frenchman
of exccllert family and considerable
wealth fell in love with Miss Scott. His
affection was reciprocated, and with tho
consent of Mrs. Scott an engagement of
marringa was made, in visiting the
Convent of the Sacred Heart, where her
vounger sisters were at school, Miss Scott
became deeply impressed with the holy
life of thc sisters. In a comparatively
short timo she was converted and deter
mined to devote her life to the church.
She sought and obtained a release from
her engagement. What became of her
lover is not known, beyond the fact that
he never left Europe. Ile was reported
to have joined a religious order in Rome.
Miss Scott returned to the United States
with her mother shortly afterward, and
WM admitted to the Convent of the Vis
itation at Georgetown. She was in deli
cate health whon, on the 2d of October,
1844, she received the habit of the novice,
and on the 28th of August, 1845, she
died of consumption.
