THE RURAL HEW-/ORKER. 
at Memphis, where it is still spreading so steadily 
that there is little hope or its disappearance be¬ 
fore frost, unless in the meanwhile all liable to It 
have been attacked. There has long been a dis¬ 
pute as to whether it, is contagious or not, many 
asserting that for Its propagation a peculiar atmos¬ 
pheric condition is necessary, and that in the ab¬ 
sence of this the malady isn't. •' catching." Sev¬ 
eral eases have occurred this year, however, in 
parts of the country where such condit ions have 
not existed, yet where the disease has been con¬ 
tracted either from sick refugees or infected arti¬ 
cles. For example, last Friday a young man died 
of Yellow Fever In Brooklyn, who had “ caught ’’ 
It by visiting a vessel that had lately arrived rrom 
Havana, and had been permitted to leave quaran- 
tlnc before Its cargo had been thoroughly disin¬ 
fected. There are a few sporadic, cases still in 
New Orleans, but with the exception of an occa¬ 
sional ease at points at which the panic-stricken 
refugees rested, the remainder of the South Is free 
from the scourge and is likely to so continue. Turn¬ 
ing the week ending last Saturday there were tn 
Memphis liil new cases, 29 deaths from the plague, 
and only i?. deaths from all other causes. 
During the week offices have been simultan¬ 
eously opened in this city, London, Paris and sev¬ 
eral other money centers in France, for the receipt 
of subscriptions towards the construction of that 
canal across the Isthmus of Darien, Here there 
were only a few shares taken, and those only for 
small amounts, and almost entirely by French¬ 
men. Cablegrams also announce that the pro¬ 
ject has met with a reception almost equally cool 
In London, while shares are selling in Paris at 
live per cent below par with only a few takers, 
so that Lesseps' sanguine expectations that the 
investment would bo eagerly sought for, are Ukely 
to be disappointed. Our government Is openly 
opposed to the route selected by this company, 
and to the entire undertaking on account of its 
being in the hands of foreigners, i t is known that 
our coasting trade would be Its chief source of 
revenue, that its management would concern us 
more Mian any other nation, and therefore it 
is thought that Americans should have control 
of It. Moreover, the Monroe doctrine forbids the 
interference of foreign nations In the affairs of this 
continent beyond the hold they had here when 
the ** doctrine" was promulgated, and this project 
has such mighty consequences that in its present 
condition, It Is looked upon as constituting such 
an interference. Our government's opposition is 
one cause of the partial failure hitherto of the 
subscription list. Another Is a report published 
by the Americau engineers that attended, the 
late Congress on the subject in Paris. This de¬ 
monstrates the existence of almost unsurmounta- 
ble difficulties along the present route, and nu¬ 
merous advantages possessed by that by way of 
Nicaragua, which has always been considered the 
American route. 
FORKIUN. 
There seems to be a good deal of uncertainty 
about the progress made in the negotiations be- 
- tween Berlin and the Vatican, one day’s cable¬ 
grams announce a definite agreement satisfactory 
to all parties, except the unofficial extremists; 
next day’s reports are apt to contradict this flatly, 
and to declare that nothing has yet been settled. 
This struggle between the Empire and the Papacy 
Is an old one. Eight hundred years ago It raged 
fiercely between Henry IV., the Merman Emperor, 
and Gregory the VII., the celebrated Hildebrand, 
whose vigor In behalf of ecclesiastical purity and 
Papal supremacy after wards won him a place 
among Hie canonized saints, on account of ills 
crimes and assertion of paramount authority, the 
Emperor was deposed by the Pope, and after a bit¬ 
ter struggle against his nobles, who had rebelled 
on account of the Papal deposition, he was forced 
to make a pllgThnage to Italy to sue tor pardon. 
The Pope had taken refuge In lilscasUoof Canossa, 
and Is suld to have kept the suppliant Emperor 
three whole days In the court of the castle, clad In 
a single garment and shivering In the cold of Jan¬ 
uary, before absolving him from excommunica¬ 
tion. Henry returned to Uermuny, defeated his 
opponents, and regained the Imperial Crown; but 
ever afterwards he entertained the bitterest ani¬ 
mosity against the PontltT. whom he warred 
against until his death In exile. During the recent 
negotiations between Bismarck and Cardinal Nina, 
the expression has been common In the papers, 
tlrnt the Emperor would never go to Canossa, or 
that he had gone there, meaning that the Emper¬ 
or would never submit to the Papacy or that he 
had already done so. The probability Is that there 
will be a compromise, each party yielding some of 
Its claims. It was through the Chancellor's ne¬ 
gotiations with the Pope that he lias been enabled 
to secure the support or the Catholic party lu Ids 
recent conflict with the Liberals In (he Reichstag, 
and by this means has succeeded In partially Prus¬ 
sianizing Germany, and In gaining a position for 
the Ministry semi-independent or the representa¬ 
tives of the people. Some say that he cannot, 
therefore, reru.se an amicable arrangement with 
the lUtramontanes, while others declare that he 
tins been too shrewd to definitely compromise him¬ 
self, whutever Impression he may have conveyed 
lo the Cat hulks, and that having through their 
means secured what he wanted, he Is Ukely now 
to “ throw them over," os he lias frequently 
treated oUier parties under similar circumstances. 
The defeat of Cetewayo seems to have really put 
an end to the war tn Zululaud. Ho has fled to the 
northern regions ol his territories accompanied by 
only a small body of his followers. His brother 
and most ol his chiefs have already submitted to 
the victors, u i a said that the British have set a 
price upon his head, though on what, plea they can 
lustily such a barbarity, It's hard to imagine. The 
fugitive king was never a British subject, and was 
perfectly Justified In refusing to accede to the de¬ 
mands made upon him before the outbreak of hos¬ 
tilities and consequently In combatting to the best 
of his power, the Invasion of his eountry. The 
only excuse that can be found for such a measure 
Is In the old saying, •• might makes right,” or per¬ 
haps In some of our own past dealings with our 
aborigines. One of Ills brothers is said to be hunt¬ 
ing him, having promised the EngUsh that he 
would capture him or “ burst.” 11. Is said that as 
long as lie lives, at liberty at least, discontent and 
petty warfare are sure to harrass the lately subju¬ 
gated territory. Lord Chelmsford having bright¬ 
ened the close of a career of blundering and defeat 
by hts late victory at flundl, has resigned his com¬ 
mand lu South Africa uud Is on his way to Eng¬ 
land. Lieut. Carey, who commanded the detach¬ 
ment which abandoned Prince Napoleon to the 
savages, has been eoflrtmartialed, but the sentence 
has been quashed on account of a detected Infor¬ 
mality lu the proceedings of the court. It la highly 
probable a second one will not be assembled, 
though the lieutenant's military career Is, most 
likely, ruined. He cornea of a fighting family, had 
an excellent reputation himself, and It. would seem 
that the young Prince's own imprudent boldness 
was the main cause of his untimely end. 
There Is a report that very friendly messages 
have been sent by the Czar to the Pope and that 
a concordat sat lsfactory to the Vatican, wlil soon 
be agreed upon between the two. Probably the 
rulers of Holy Russia are willing to seek any¬ 
where Just now far assistance In suppressing tne 
terrible tenets of Nihilism which, despite all ef¬ 
forts at suppression, seem to be rapidly spreading 
throughout tne unwieldy empire. Thousands of 
the Nihilists have been banished lo Siberia, 
many more have been executed, and the prisons 
are full of others, but still they rnulHply In every 
rank of society. Now, the Roman Church has al¬ 
ways teen a rigid srickler (or authority, always 
preaching obedience to x.he Powers that be. always 
opposed to Insubordination, on principle, and 
therefore likely to be treated with unaccustomed 
kindness by the ezar at a moment like tbls, wlu?n 
the whole of his vast dominions Is alive with 
the spirit of revolt and insurrection. Nor are 
Russia’s troubles all Internal for on the Southern 
frontier 40,000 Turcomans arc lu arms to resist 
her encroachments while on the Eastern border 
400,000,000 Chinamen are said to be about to be ar¬ 
rayed against her to resist her persistent land¬ 
grabbing In that, direction. The latest reports, 
however, from that quarter are of a somewhat 
more peaceable nature than their predecessors 
for the last couple of rnoDths. 
Thcperfinueof fresHly-culled flowers

lightful fragrance of Mukkay & Lawman's Flor¬ 
ida Water. None reject it, none dislike It. From

vorite on the handkerchief, at the toilet, and in the
