,I0Ita'ty Of 81. LouiS, for SIR .HoatES.-
Though the mortality may fall someW hat short Of
the exaggerated guesses we have occasionally heard
ventred upon it. yet it i sufficient TO Justify the
alarm it has excited among every class OF citizens
On the superstition that up to the present time the
epidemic had committed its raydges among a popula
ton Of 60,GOJ, (Which the city contained previous
10 its appearante) the statistics show a mortality Of
81 in every l00O-eIual to one in nearly every
eleven persons. Since the beginning of June, how
ever numbers Of persons have left the city reducing
our present population to $1,000 at the very utmost
From the 1st Of June to the 9Th Of July the reports
show 3,4Sl Misunderstanding, with our actual pop
ulaon of $4,000 mortality Of 81 in every 1895, or
one of about sixteen, in six weeks
For the three four first months of its appearance
in the city, the disease was confined almost entirely
only in the suburbs OF the city, along the filthy
unpaved streets. The regular citizens, even with
total disregard Of the sanatory observance, now
thought indispensable for the preservation Of heath
lived in comparative security. At present, neither
healthy location residence. acclimation, tie
most particular precautions in food or habits, are
considered safeguards against attacks. Whilst the
disease still RACES most terribly among the more in
digent classes, every day several Of the old ana
best known citizens are carried oil We have no
convenient means of ascertaining the precise proper
ton OF mortality between the emrraats and accli-
mated citizens. From the return, of the sections,
however a. well as from " hat we have been told
by the City Register and several intelligent phvsi
clans, inclined to think that at least in
every eleven that die Of cholera recently arrived
toreigners.-S. Louis ReCcHle 10Th.
