CHOLERA AT LEXINGTON. - The following is
from the Lexington Observer e. Reporter of the 23d
ult: The cholera made its appearance on Saiur-
day last, at the Lunatic Asylum, in the suburbs Of
this city. 1t originated among the Inmates of the
institution, and up to yesterday morning there had
been fifteen cases, four Of which terminated fatally,
the remainder were relieved by prompt medical
remedies. One death took place on Saturday, two
on Sunday, and one on Monday. The disease has
confined its attacks exclusively to the unfortunate
inmates not one of the large number of attendants
at the institution, male or female, having had any
symptoms of the disease. Another fact is also some
wha; singuar-all the lunatics who have been al
lacked are males, not one of the females has been
the subject of cholera

ADDISON A PROPHET
Boston, Dec. 1910.

A writer in the Kentucky Commonwealth
quotes the following from a paper of Addison
in the Spectator. 1t was written nearly cen
tury and half ago. How much does this sal
ly of the Imagination vary from the reality Of
the magnetic telegraph?
Estrada in one of his 'Prolusons,' gives an
account of chemical correspondence between
two friends blythe help Of q certain loadstone
touched began to move, the other, though at ev
ef so great distance, moves at the same TIM
and in the same manner.
"He tells us that the two friends, being eacl
of them possessed Of one of these needles, made
kind of dial plate, inscrlbing it with the tou
and twenty letters, in the same manner as TIT
hours of the day are marked on the ordinary dl
al plate. They then fixed one of the needles
on each of these plates, in such manner that
could move round without impeachment, so as t
touch any of the four and twenty letters. Up

selves punclually into their closets at a certal
hour Of the day. and to converse with each 9th
er by means Of this new invention.
Accordingly, when some hundred miles as
under, each of them shut himself up in his clos
ct at the time appointed, and Immediately cas-
his eye upon the dial plate. If he had min
to write anything to his friend, he directed hi
needle to every letter that formed the WORD
which he had occasion for, making little pnus
at the end of every word or sentence, to avoi
confusion.
1.-THE friend, in the meanwhile, saw his ow
sympathetic needle moving itself to every lett
which that Of his correspondent pointed at. 3
this means they talked across whole continent
and conveyed their thoughts to one another
an instant, over cities or mountains, seas or de
erts."

JRvING'S MAHOMET.

I'VE are indebted to the Literary World fo1
the following interesting passage forom Wash
inpton Irving's forth coming Life of Mahomet,
which the editors have been permitted to copy
in advance Of the publication of the work.-ED. ]
Night Journey qfthe PrOpht from Mecca 10 Jen'-
salem and thence 10 The Seventh Heaven.
An Asylum being provided for Mahomet in
the house of Mutem Ibn Adj, one of his discl-
plcs he yentured to return to Mecca The su'
pernaturaI visitation Of gcn in the valley OF Max
Hh, was soon followed by vision or revelation
far more extraordinary, and which has ever since
remained theme of comment and conjecture
among deyout Mahometans. We allude to the
famous night Journey to jerusalem and thence
to the seventh heaven The particulars of it
though given as if in the very words Of Mahom
ct, rest merely on tradition; some, however, cltt
texts corroboratve of it, scattered here and there
in the Koran,
We do not pretend to give this vision or reve
lation in its amplitude and wild extravaganza
but will cndoavor to seize upon its most essenta
features.
The night on which it occurred, is described
as one of the darkest aad most awfully silent tina

of cocks, nor barking of dogs; no bowling o
wild beasts nor hootiDg of owls The very wa

The following extract from the address ofthe
ST. LOUIS Railroad Convention. signed by dele

such work as the Pacific Railway, and of the
wealth and glory certain to spring from its COM
pletion. The sentiments expressed are pathetic
and uniOnizing:

at one time the Roman treasury and on which
