Pour ten quarts of boiling water on the above ingredients. When blood-warm stir in two gills of home-made yeast, cover with a thin piece of gauze to keep out tho flics and insects, and allow to stand all day in the sun. Vhen cold in the evening, bottle, cork and wire it, then place it on the floor of the cellar. In forty-eight hours it will be ready for use, and will pay the trouble of making it. I The Belgian Block.

There were four teen cases of $200 and under, in which the Magistrate had jurisdiction, and twenty-four others for amounts above $200, in which he had no jurisdiction In tho former judgment was given in. every case for the city and the others will be heard at the next term of the Su perior Court.

Yellow Fever and the Board of Health. - ; i 'j . NO. I. . 1 Mb, Editor: The arrival of an iu fected vessel in the port of Wilmington at this period of the year is an evil not un mixed! with real benefit if its warning and lesson are not allowed to piss un heeded. Ordinarily the preservation of the community from yellow fever is cot regarded as a pressing question with us until the season is so far advanced as to afford no time for instituting the proper rdeaiures whicfn giving protection will not injure theweighty commercial inter ests at stake. But,fortunately, tho prob lem1 of satisfying- every interest' Ts not a complicated one, and is very easy of solu tion; nay, more, it is already solved, and the application of its results to our neces sities requires only a: familiarity with the subject and an industrious zeal on the part of those upon whom1 the sanitary care de volves. We may therefore be thankful that the matter thus early presents ' itself to us in a practical shape. 13utwbo shall deal with it I it were unreasonable to expect the Board of Audit, already over? taxed with financial labor, or the Board of Aldermen, more than exhausted in its efforts to replenish tho bankrupt treasury, to take personal cognizance of this, r.or, indeed, is it probable that any one of them possesses the necessary information and skill. This is said without the slightest disrespect to any of these gentlemen, some of whom already incur " great personal sacrifice in the public service; for sanitary wisdom comes only from intimate knowl edge n various departments of 1 science, and I believe it is not claimed that our City Fathers have burnt much midnight oil in that direction. This statement, I am afraid, may do some violence to that peculiar i profession, common sense, of which it is the pride of many of our people to boast and to hold superior to scientific attainment, and I shall regret that these do not agree to this view; buti still there are a' greater number of thinking men who will see its force, and readily consent that a question so vital should be. submitted only to experts. Now, who are the experts in this commu nity except the physicians, acknowledged as they are to be our main defence against disease and death ? That they may be relied upon to give the benefit of. their learning and skill in whatever concerns the public welfare is assured by long and repeated experience and why, therefore, delay asking their advice in face of the threat which always hangs over us through our frequent intercourse with the fever ports? . . , ". 1 It will not suffice lo await the arrival of each infected ship, and then ask for ad vice. Let a practical method be devised for dealing with all, that no misunder standings may occur, and no personal in jury be wrought in its application to any case. ! Now, the law in North Carolina, in creating Boards of Health in the various counties and cities, has already appointed the physicians legal advisors of the local authority in all that pertains to the sani tary condition, and it is the binding moral duty of the local authority not to ignore this, but to seek from them full advice and to follow that which they give. Alas! moral duties I lie very lightly upon the official conscience,! and the law is habit- ually disregarded from the simple fact that the Legislature, by oversight, per haps, omitted to impose a penalty for it infraction But the moral obligation is none the less, and it is demoralizing in its tendency to see those in authority treat so coutemptnouslyjone of the statutes cf the commonwealth. j' ( j It may be alleged that iu Wilmington there is a Superintendent of Pulic Health who is specially charged with these duties; but this view only implies an ignorance of the law creating that office, for j there are no advisory or executive functions as sociated with it, and the duties arc not de fined in the act further, than that the official must obey the orders of the Mayor. This constitutes him nothing more than a chief of the sanitary . police, without the power of originating measures or even of suggesting any which the Mayor is bound to adopt.j It is therefore obvious that such an office requires neither aj learned incumbent nor one possescdof any techni cal skill, and to ask the question as to whether the protection of the community should rest with it is simply absurd. The force of this, I trust, may bo felt without being taken as a reflection upon the ac complished gentleman who has charge of these purely perfunctory duties; but the powers of a sanitary board are not pos sessed by him, but only by the Board of Health, in which the law 1 as wisely and with full intent lodged them. Let this mutual relation of the City Government jand the Board of Health bo recognized, and our word for it, the perplexities of sanitary 1 regulations will be solved in the best way. The public welfare will be subserved, the City Fathers wi.l con tinue to dispense the profit and patronage of office, and the physicians, though ul- paid and unthanked, may see their own I doors saved from assault oy tne deadly foe with which they wage perpetual war and receive the additional reward of the "sweet conciousness of duty done," whichf in any event, constitutes the major portion of their pay in this community. It may; not be in the mouth of a lay man to suggest the legal difficulties into which official derelrtion may bring our little sea-side city; but , to our unskilled eye it is not at all clear that an action for damages Would not rightly lio where impaired health or death could be shown to have resulted i from municipal neglect 26, 1878.

Mr. D. McIUe, ! I Wilmington j N. C. iDear Sir Your esteemed favor receiv ed, for which you will please accept my thanks., You may be surprised to learn, that .With all my efforts to get reports; from New Hanover since I took charge of this office, this is tho jirst blank I have yet had returned to me. I have regetted it very much, not only because the ab sence of a report from your county in the various publications, which have been made by this bfrlce might cause the im pression among your people that I am in different to their, interests, but because, feeling as I do that Wilmington is essen tially a North Carolina city, and must ultimately become! tho outlet for tho x)ro" ducts of nearly tbd whole State, when her facilities arc better! known and apprecia ted, i' j . I . . -.. I conceive it to be my first an I highest duty as Commissioner under our law, to do all in my power to foster tho material interests of the State, but my efforts must bo comparatively futile,, without the co- operation of such important communities as yours. ;I shall therefore relax no effort to secure the aid ofjthat cooperation. I send you an advanced sheet of a re port I wish to publish in book form at an early day, and in, the revision of which, your report for New Hanover will appear. Again assuring you of my appreciation of your favor, I am, sir, Most Respectfully, j'l L. L.

Heretofore nothing but a business card was permitted upon a wrapper of printed matter. The Postmaster-General now has given instructions that any matter in print which may be transmitted within an en closure! may aUo be transmitted at the same rate if printed upon the i wrapper or envelope. This includes business 'card?, directions for returnitg, and any piinted matter on the outside of a wrapper or en velops. Postmasters, however, are instruct ed not to regard requests for the return Of such matter unless stamps to pay the return postage are presented. For the Championship.
