CHOLERA IN PRUssIA.-The following Off
ca statistics, relative to the action of cholera
in divers districts of East Prussia, and more
especially in that of Marienwerder, may not
be uninteresting. The disease broke out, it
appears, on the 10th of July and spread with
rapidity over 80 towns, and villages, attack
ing, out of population of 6I5,000, about
lO,67O, of whom 1886 died, and the remain
der recovered.
The disease, now extirpated in the district,
appears to have been more widely spread and
intense in 1852 than during its previous visits
in 1881, 1887, lS4S, and lS49, as, during the
first, the number of infected places was 3l5,
that of cases 5000; and deaths $3.50. During
the second only ~ places were infected, and
not more than 2,44S attacked, of whom 1899
died.
In the third mentioned year and during n
period Of 9 months, from about midsummer
to March following, 1856 places were infected
and 6355 persons attacked, of whom only
2Sl g recovered In the same and last year
QS49,) the pestlence again broke out in June,
and continued until the middle of December,
injecting Ill places, attacking 1853 persons,
and carrying off 1856. The capacousness of
the scourge is such that it battles all medical
calculations as to the chances Of its reappear-
ing and travelling westwards. The last re-
port from Breslau, of the 30th, shows neither
cure, new case, nor death.

BLUE RIDGE RAILRoAD.-Indication from
Tennessee and North Carolina on the route
of the Blue Ridge Railroad are highly en-
couraging. Public attention is concentrating g
on this enterprise, and the appreciation oi its
value is constantly rising. We have reason
to believe that it will call forth large contri-
buttons from all the country near the line,
and thus secure the uninterrupted progress
and speedy completion of the Road. gem
tleman of character and experience, living in
that part of North Carolina near the propos-
cd route, and we'll acquainted with the whole
region, in speaking of the prospects of the
enterprise, enumerates the following as a
mong the certain advantages Of the Blue
Ridge Railroad over others that aim at the
same object.
!. 1t will be tho shortest communication
between the Atlantic coast and the navigable
waters Of the Mississippi valley.
.. Its grade is much better than any route
that has been surveyed East Of the Rabun-
the ascending grades to the summit of the
mountains being 25 per cent. less, and the
descending grades TO the Tennessee river even
50 per cent. less.
8. The cost of construction will be less
than that of any Of the great Roads to the
North Of us which aim at the same object oi
reaching the navigable waters OF tho Missis-
sippi valley.
In fact, the more carefully the subject is
discussed and explored, the more clearly ap
pears the necessity for this communication
and the more rich is the promise of com
mcrcial advantages from its completion

LAST MOMENTS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
The Southern Republic has received from
Mr.. F. X. Beck-a kinsman of the Vice Presi-
dent-a brief account of the last moments of
Mr.. King. 1t says "He was quiet and re-
signed to the fate which he had seen for some
time awaited him. Shortly before six o'clock
on Monday evening, while few friends were
sitting around his bedside, the only ones that
he would allow in his sick room, he suddenly
remarked that he was dying. The watchers
arose to their feet, under some excitement,
when the Colonel said-'Be still--make no
noise-let me die quietly He refused to
have the balance of his household notified of
his dying condition. His physician came in
and examined him. The Colonel said to him:
Doctor, am dying. 1t seems as though |
shall never get through with it. am dying
very hard Take the pillows from under my
head The pillows were accordingly taken
from under his head, but affording no
relief, the Doctor turned him from his back
to his side, when he died in a moment"

New YoRK.-The New York Times gives
the following as an almost every day picture
in that city:
sit is scarcely safe to walk an unfrequented
street after nightfall, and if the passenger,
through many districts, is so fortunate as to
reach his home without molestation, he will
not have performed his journey without being
startled BY the shrieks Of women, or the
brutal oaths of men, or mayhap some worse
evidence that intemperance and guilt are
abroad, as well as he. He will pass perhaps
down some narrow, noisome street, strewn
with decayed vegetables, and sending up
continually from its thousand cess-pools a
poisonous malaria, with which the purer air
reluctantly commngles. Here, late at night
he will see n red unwholesome light faring
at one corner of the thoroughfarc, and by the
glare he will catch glimpse of n rotten,
crazy.looking wooden tenement with leaking
casks and damaged fruit strown about il, and
filled with five or six half-drunken, wholly
brutal men and youths, on whose lowering
brows vice has set its mark, that it may know
them again.
"This is the grocery at the corner where
maddening poison is served out at three cents
the glass As you pass flushed and savage
looking man reels out, while an inebriate
shout of scorn from those within follows him.
He is going home. He lives next door in a
back room on the third foor where in dark
ness and silence his wife is waiting for him,
longing for him to come, yet trembling when
his drunken footstep shakes the crazy stair
Five minutes later, and, if you have not walk
ed fast, you hear n shrek of awful agony
burst out into the night Another and anoth.
er The sots in the store below cease their
blasphemies. The street suddenly becomes
animated. People issue unexpectedly from
the houses round about. Some face the door
of the drunkard's home. They rush up stairs
and presently an awful whisper runs like an
electric spark through the crowd proclaiming
that murder has been done. He had fallen
upon her, the patient, watching wife, and in
the phrenzy of bis drunken passion smote
her with mortal blow. And now he sits
half sobered on the bed, with few policemen
lounging round him, and crowd of curious
heads choking up the doorway to look at
him, while his child unknowingly and all in
nocent, plays round his knee and fondles his
bloody hand" 2H-...

SECRET PRAYER.-A very honest minded
and illiterate negro, sway down in Virginia"
attending a camp meeting some time since,
in his vicinity; and among other advice ten
dered him by the worthy brethren assembled
was recommended to go away in secret. and
pray for tie forgiveness Of his sins.
This suggestion was overheard by two or
three wicked wags-such as are always found
hanging round camp meetings, and they fol-
lowed the darkie out to watch his movements.
His name was Coldthwaite-"Cully Cold
thwaite" he was commonly called-and he
was very dull sighted; having but one eye out
of which he could see but very indiiiercntly.
When he inquired what he should say to
the Lord, he was told to 90 humbly and use
his own language, which would be most ac-
ceptabe.
So Cuify sauntered down into the woods,
followed by brace of the b'hoys, at some
distance behind, who villainously provided
themselves with n bucket Of water. Cuffy
fumbed along and finally reached sharp
cliff, at the base of which he knelt down and
commenced as follows:
Good morning, Massa Cor Omighty. Dis
child VERY wicked, and p'rnps you duzzent
know i'm. lse Cufy Coldthwatc all dc way
from de Hobomuk plantashun, an dc gem
men tell me dat if axes for i'm dc grace ob
dc Lord will be showered down on dis insight
cant niggar.'
At this moment down came the pailful OF
cold water from above the edge of the bank,
swash on Cufiy's head lie sprung 10 his
cet and gazed about him, blew the chilling
water from his mouth-and while his eye
rolled itself almost inside from his excite
ment and rage, he added
"Dat'll do, Massa--dat'll do for dis time
saitin-I spec it's all right but dat shower
raddcr cold, any how, dots fact!'
This was the last time that Culy went out
to pray in secret
