YELLOW-FEVER NEWS, AT a meeting in Nashville on the 16th of the Tennessee Board of Health, it was decided to adhere to the rule prohibiting the introduction of cotton into Memphis until the epidemic should decline, and thus avoid the otherwise necessarily increased facilities of.communication with the country, and because of the danger, more\ or less remote, of transporting yellow-fever poison in cotton ginned and baled in an infected atmosphere. THERE were twenty-three new cases (twelve colored) and nine deaths in Memphis on the 16th.. Several' cases had recently developed outside the city limitg, thus.indicating the gradual spreading of the disease in the surrounding country. » THREE new cases were reported at Concordia on the 17th (two colored). THE quarantine at Vicksburg against New Orleans was removed! on the 18th. Woolen goods packed in New Orleans would still be excluded. ' : THERE were only ten new cases (six white) and six deaths reported to the Memphis Board of Health on the 18th. A notice was about to be issued, to absentees, warning them of the risk they would run at present by returning to the city, as the fever was dying out only for want of new material. THERE was intense excitement at Lebanon, N. H., on the. I£3th, over a case of yellow fever there, the victim being a man named Arthur H. Gray, who had just returned from a sea voyage. ' THERE were four new cases and one death reportedsat Concordia, Miss., on the 19th. . THERE were seven new cases and two deaths reported in Memphis on the 20th, and eight new cases and one death on the ?Ilst. The total number bf cases reported during the week was eighty; total to date, 1,216; total deaths during the week, thirtyone; total to date, 346. A warning to ab? sentees was issued by the Board of Health, stating that, though the number of new cases of yellow fever was small, it would not be safe for those who had not had the disease to return yet. The comparatively small number of new cases and deaths was thought to be due to the fact that there were so few unacclimated persons in the city. '

THE boiler of the steam tug Charles W. Parker exploded in the lake off Lincoln Park, Chicago, on the morning of the 22d. Robert Leary (Captain), William Burton (steward), John Callaghan (enginger) and John P. Rogers (fireman) were blown into the lake and killed. The only other person on board the boat at the time of the accident was Henry McGuire (deckhand), who was blown a distance of half a block and was picked up by another tug in a terribly mangled ‘condition, but it was thought he might possibly survive the injuries.

SIXTEEN new cases and six deaths were reported in Memphis on the 22d. At a meeting of merchants and citizens held at the ,Cotton Exchange a series of resolutions was adopted protesting against the strict quarantine regulations of the National and State Boards of Health, causing an. almost entire suspension of business, and -especially urging the State Board tc repeal order Number 6 forbidding seed cotton being brought to the city for sale and to be ginned, and declaring that past experience had unmistakably shown that no contagion had ever been carried through the medium of sced cotton to any portion of the world, not even to operatives who had worked up the cotton, though thousands of bales had been ginned in Memphis and other cities during the prevalence of yellow-fever epidemics in past years. Dr. J. D. Plunkett, of the State Board -of Health,” was hung in effigy on the mnight of = the 21st, but this action is said to have been generally condemmned. A notice was served on the State and local officials, on the 22d, by the Bheriff, and signed by N. W. Speers, Jr., of an intention to apply for an inJunction to restrain them from any further interference with the entry of cotton into the City of Memphis,

GENERAL GRANT AT SAN FRAN- _ CISCO. An Account of the Honors Extended to Him on His Return to His Native Soil. . S The following particulars of the public demonstration #t San Francisco in honor of General Grant, on his arrival at that city, are %iven in the Associated Press dispatches of the 20th: The first tap of thie bell and hoisting of the flag on the Merchants’ Exchan%'e ann()uncing the anroach of the City of Tokio startle the city from the spell of suspense that has prevailed for the last three days, and transformed the idle throngs ‘that were lounging about the streets into execited and hurrying crowds. Immediately on receipt of the intelligence that the steamer was nearing port, the Reception Committee repaired to the tug Millen Griffith, lfi'ing with steam up at, the -Pacific Mail Dock, and at once started t» meet the incoming steamer. The Griffith stood well out to sea. and several miles outside the heads met the Tokio coming in. The tug drew alongside, and the Executive Committee, quarantine officer, and customs officials gnd a number of representatives of the press boarded the steamer. - : |

No ceremonies were observed, except a general shaking of hands, and, after the committee had announced the object of their visit and informed General Grant of the reception: pref)ared for him, conversation became general as the City of Tokio continued her course. Soon after the Government steamer McPherson came alongside, and Major-General McDowell, commanding the Division of the Pacific, accompanied by his staff, boarded the Tokio, and rejoined his old comrade in arms. While this was transpiring, the General Committee of Arrangements, with several thousand ' invited guests, assembled on board the large side-wheel Pacific Mail steamer China and a number of smaller steamers, while tugs took the squadron of the San Francisco and Pacific Yacht Cluhs in tow, and started down the channel. In the meantime it seemed as though® the whole poXulation of the city, men, women and children, had sought positions from ‘which a view of the naval pageant could be obtained. Every eminence commandinig the channel was black with the assembled tliousands. Telegrayh Hill was a living mass of human bodies. The heights beyond Présidio, Clay Street Hill, the sea-wall at North Point, and every pier-head was covered with spectators. The sun' was declining in the west as the steamers and yachts, gay with bunting,/ moved down the channel. ’ . A

From every flagstaff in the o't?’ flags were flying, and the shipping along the city front was brilliantly decked with ensigns, festooned flags and streamers. The impatient crowds that covered the hill-tops stood straining their eyes to catch the first glimpse of the Tokio. It was half-past five o’clock when a puff of white smoke from seaward earthworks back of and above Fort Point and the booming of a heavy gun announced that the steamer was near at hand. Another and another followed in rapid succession. Fort Point next joined in cannonade firing with both casemate and barbette guns, and the battery at Lime Point added its thunders to the voice of welcome. For some time the osition of the approaching ships could, not Be discerned, but shortly before six o’clock outlines of the huge hull of the City of Tokio loomed through the obscurity of tlyle smoke, and the rapidly approaching shades of evening were lit up by the flashes of guns, andin a few minutes she glided into full view, surrounded by a fleet of steamers and tugs gay with flags and crowded with guests, while the yacht squadron brought up the rear festooned from deck to truck with brilliant bunting. Cheer after cheer burst from the assembied thousands as the vessels slowly rounded Telegraph Hill, find, taken up by the crowd on the wharves, rolled around the city front. .Hats and handkerchiefs were waved in the air. The United States steamer Monterey, lying in the stream, added the roar of her guns to the general weleome, and the screaming of hundreds of steam whistles announced that the City of Tokio had reached her anchorage. _\zfithin the gates of the ferry-house were ‘assembled the gentlemen charged with the duty of the immediate reception of General Grant—the Board of Supervisors rangad on the left of the gangway, and Governor Irwin and staff and the Executive Committee, consisting of Governor-elect Perkins, 'W. H. L. Barnes, Samuel Wilson, William T. Coleman, Tiburcio Parrott, J. P. Jackson, John McComb, John Rosenfeld, Claus Spreckels, John H. Wise, W. W. Montague, occupied the right, Mayor Bryant taking his position about half-way down the center of the gangway. . , In the meantime General Grant and his party on the Tokio, together with the Reception Commiittee, General MceDowell and staff and others, had been transferred to the ferry steamer Oakland.: Considerable ‘delay - occurred, during which th¢ crowd outside cheered and shouted themselves hoarse, and it scemed at times as though in their impaticnce they would break through the lines and invade the dock e masse.

Darkness had fallen, and it was twenty minutes past seven when the "lights ‘of the ferryboat were seen approaching the slip.” She moved slowly into position. The platform was lowered, the band struck up “Home Again,”” and, amid the roars of applause from the waiting crowd outside, who realized that the moment had arrived, General Grant step&)ed once more upon the shores of his native land. He was then introdneced to Mayor Bryant, who_ welcomed him_ in a few appropriate remarks to which the General responded as follows: - i MAYOR BRYANT: I thank you and the city of San Francisco for this cordial welcome, and I feel great pleasure in returning to California after a- quarter of a century’s absence. I shall be glad to participate in the procession. : : Amid the most tremendous cheers of the crowd, discharges of cannon, ringing of bells and screamin%{ of whistles, the procession started up Market street. Bonfires blazed at the street corners, illuminatfons lit up every window, and the glare of Roman candles and electric lights made the broad thoroughfare brifiht as day. Under a continuous archway of flags, banners and festooned draperies, the procession moved u&) Market street to Montgomery, and turmed down the latter street. Crowds blocked the sidewalk. Cheer after cheer rolled along the whole line of march, and almost drowned the martial strains of the numerous bands. The light mist hovering over the city reflected the light of the fireworks and illumination, until the heavens seemed ablaze. i -

On arriving at Market street the procession, movin% up a few blfi'cks, countermarched to the Palace Hotel. ere a magnificent arch, forty feet in height, spanned l\gew Montgomery street, blazoned with the National ,cotiors, and bearing the inscription, ‘ Welcome to Grant.”” At this point 'tgle -carriage containing the General was drawn up, whfie the procession marched in review, 'cgeer after cheer re’ndin%’ the air as division after division passed by. : 1 On the conclusion of the review the various organizations were dismissed, and General Grant was conducted to his quarters in the Palace Hotel, which had been specially prepared and furnished for his reception. At ten o'clock the wide dcors were thrown %pen, and the barouche containing General srant was driven within the building. He immediately dismounted, and, crowding his way through the packed mass of human beings, was hurried to his room. Che

As he alighted, Madame Fabri and a chorus of five hundred voices opened from one of the balconies with the * Ode of Welcome.” The crowd rushed after General Grant when he dismounted, leaving the singers for a moment almost without an audience, but, being stopped by the force of police who blocked the way, they returned to the court, being reassured _bg’ the announcement that the General would appear on one of the balconies after he had had time to lay off his overcoat. After the chorus was rendered,. General Grant, in response torepeated calls, ag%e;)ared on the balcony of the: fourth floor, an wed to the shouting erowd, immediately retiring. Still the enthusiastic populace thronged the eourt and refused to leave. Finally Mayor Bryant a&peared, and announced thag as foon as the General had finished his dinner he would show himself. In a few minutes Genetal Grant agpeared, amiddeafening and longcontinued shouts. ; , Magor Bryant called the crowd to order, and the General, mounting a chair which was passed over the heads of the surrounding crowd, was again greeted with a succession o

cneers. when: the noise gubsided, he addressed them as follows: ; Sk FELLOW-CITIZENS OF SAN FRANCISCO: After twenty-five years’ absence, I am filad to meet you, and assure you of my cordial thanks for the kind greeting You'lmve_ given me. I shall stay in your city long enough to greet you more fully. ' The General then withdrew, amid prolonged and tremendous cheering, and the crowd at length reluctantly scattered.

.Duties of Census Enumerators. - ; e WASHINGTON, Sep’tembe_r 18.. The Superintendent:- of -the Census Bureau has issued a circular in relation to the office of Emumerator under the Census law, in which the duties of that office are defined, and other information in regard to the discharge of these duties is given. The duties in the main are identical with those of Assistant Marshal under the last three censuses, but the provisions of the law regarding the time and the size of the enumeration districts make the office differ widely from the former. Under the old law subdivisions were limited. to 20,000 inhabitants, while by the present law they are limited to 4,000,1111& will be generally confined to a single town where the: number may be’ even less. By the old law, from June. 1 to November 1 was allowed for the enumeration, while under the present statute it is required to be made in June, and in cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants in -two weeks from the first Monday in June. The aggregate amount of compensation to an enumerator cannot exceed $lOO, as only one month’s time is allowed, and the pay not-to exceed $4 a day. - : It is expected that enumerators will work in their own immediate locality, knowing and known to most of those they enumerate, without incurring traveling expenses—in a majority of cases, and that in ma.ng' instances the work ‘can be done withont -materially inter-. fering with their other vdécations, so that a more competent class of enumerators may be secured. Township Assessors and other local officers, Postmasters at small offices, ete., are sug;Tr(ésted as men likely to perform the wor faithfully ‘and intelligently. Country physicians within the eirecuit -of their usual practice would, it is thought, often make excellent enumerators. Their knowledge of vital conditions, their appreciation of the importance of trustworthy statisties, together with their'’knowledge of the history of families, would combine tc make returns alike of deaths and of the living population from officers of this class especially valuable. ' There would “also be the practical consideration that men of this profession are as a rule already mounted, and their service in the capacity of enumerators would involve no expense whatever for outfit. Schopl.masters have been found in England ~among the best qualified enumerators, Accustomed to keep lists and make reports, almost uniformly accurate in accounts, trained in punectuality and pre“cision and accustomed to -enforce them upon others, the teacher, within his j school district, would generally do his - work rapidly, neatly -and accurately. | e i 'The Story of the Massacre at Cabul. | . . SiMrA, India, September 16. One of the troopers. of Major Cavagnari’s escort arrived at Lundi Khotal yesterday. -He says that the roof -of the British residency at Cabul was com‘manded by other houses, and was consequently untenable by the besieged, who made a trench outside. At about one o’clock in the afternoon on‘'the day of .the massacre Major Cavagnari received a wound from a ricocheting “bullet in his forehead. Mr. Jenkyns, Major Cavagnari’s assistant. who arrived at the residency during the attack, wrote to the Ameer for help, and the - Ameer’'s reply was, *God will.. lam making arrangements.” © A previous request for aid from Major Cavagnari had met with the same reply. Mr. Jenkyns wrote again when Major ’ Cavagnari was wounded, but the bearer ~of the letter was cut to pieces- by the ‘mutineers. : Bl ~ The trooper then started. but was disarmed and imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping at daybreak on the 4th of September, and visited the residency, where he saw the corpse of Lieutenant Hamilton, »commandin'gij the escort of the British - mission, lying . across "a mountain gun. He says that Mr. Jenkyns was with a person called Yahyah Kahn, and was, therefore, presumably alive. o - The escaped trooper saw no troops on the road froni Cabul to Jelalabad antl Dakka, and, so far as he knew, none were coming. - A comrade who: was confined in Cabul informed him ‘that Lieutenant Hamilton shot' three of the mutineers with his revolver, and killed two with his saber. : - Dr. Kelley, who was connected - with. the mission, was lying dead inside theresideney.t o 00 ' . Major Cavagnari was in a room which was burnt, and which had fallen in. His body had not been found. Three native officers of the guides wereburned to death near the residency. The grass-cutters were in safetyy. =
