ORIGIN OF THE CHOLERA, AND ITS TERRIBLE RAW
ACES IL EGyPT.-Dr. Colucci, President of the
Sanitary Department in Egypt, has made an Off
cial report on the epidemic. He traces its origin
to the Mecca pilgrimage. On the Kurban- -Bairam
the day of sacrifice which terminates the reli-
gions observance Of the IIadj, there are often
from seven hundred to eight hundred thousand
pilgrims assembled at Mount Ararat The march
OF these crowds through the long deserts of sand.
the unwholesome food, the habit of bUrying the
dead close TO the surface, to be uncovered by a
few days of wind, infestng the air, have all
weakened the constitutions of the pilgrims and
made them q ready prey to disease. Add to this
the exhalations from the ofiiil, blood and bones
remaining from the slaughter of two mil
hons OF sheep sacrificed and which in the burn
ing sun putrefy in few hours, and the results
are, as a matter of course fatal epidemics. This
year the kurban-Baram in the month OF
May. and the mortality dreadful that one
hundred thousand persons died in fortnight.
During the entire pilgrimage from the entry into
the sacred precincts the pilgrims do not change
the scanty clothing which custom prescribes,
and, filthy though it may be, carefully treasure
it up when they resume their ordinary garb to
distribute in shreds among their friends on their
return. Those of the dead are equally well TAX
en- care of, to be given relics to their friends.

PATRIOTISM BY SUBsTIrUTE.-The New York
Eren'ng Post evidently tells a fresh local anecdote
in the following - An Office seeker-in Japan,
let us say-the other day, begging small berth
in the Nagasak Custom House, was informed
that the Tycoon desired such places to be given
mainly to returned soldiers who had served hon
orably in the late war. Z" He's right, too.
promptly responded the office-seeker ; {" the SOL
diers ought to be remembered. | have repre-
sentative claim in this case also" 90 Have You
served in the army?' asked the officer who in
japan attends to the Custom House appoint
ments .. No, sir, not in person" was the reply
but have a grown who drafted and
procured substitute, and the substitute served
a year for him.

The Union Prisoner.

The following touching lines, descriptive of al
Incident in the Andersonville prison-pen are at
ributed to G. II. Holister, Esq, of Litch6eld
Connecticut. The war has elected nothing o
;adder interest:
No blanket round his wasted limbs
As under the rainy sky he slept:
While hitting his envenomed shafts.
Around him Death. the archer. crept.

His hand to clutch little bread
That white angel with torch.
Among the living and the dead,
Seemed bearing. smiling he went:
The vision walked him. and he spied
The postboy. followed by crowd
OF ftmished prisoners. who cried
For lotters-letcrs from their friends
Crawling upon his hands and knees,
lie hears his own name called, and 10!
A letter from his wife he sees!
Gaspng for breath. he shrekcd aloud,
And lost IN Natures blind eclipse
Faerine amid the suppliant crowd,
Caught it and pressed it to his lips
4 guard who followed, red and wroth,
and flourishing a rusty brand.
Rcviles him with taunng oath.
And snatcicd the letter from his hand.
- First pay the postage whining wretch.
Despair has made the prisoner brave:
Then give back my money. Sir!

Yon took my money and my clothes:
TAKE my life, too-bnt let me know
How Mary aud the children are.
And l will bless you ere GO.
The very moonlight through his hands.
As he stood duplicating. shone
And his sharp features shaped themselves
Into prayer and such tone
OF anguish there ia his cry
For wife and children, that the guard
Thinking upon his own--passcl by
And left him swoOning on the swtrd.
Beyond the ''dead-line fell his head
The eager sentry knew his mark,
And with crash the bullet sped
Into his brain. and all dark.
But when they turned his liyd cheek
Up t'ward the light. the pale lips smiled,

IN RELATION TO GREExBAcKs.-The New York
Tri5une says :-'' Of Legal Tenders afoat, there
is not quite 500, 900 900; but over $3.50 900 900
of this consists of notes of interest, which have
heretofore been mainly boarded for presentation
when due Practically the amount of our green
back currency does not exceed $500 900, 900. to
which add the National Bank notes in circulation
and the aggregate is less than 500, 900, 900 AS
the extent of country over which this currency
circulates is constantly widening, by reason Of
its flow Southwark in the purchase of cotton
etc, we cannot consider the volume of our cur
rency so excessive is commonly represented.
Let us appreciate our national paper nearly or
quite to the par Of specie, so that California,
Nevada, etc, will require and use it for its con-
venience of transmission and handling, and
$500, 900, 900 will not be much for a healthful
circulating medium and this amount will have
to be increased rather than diminished popu-
lation and business expand

WESTWARD, Ho Some idea of the immense
immigration across the plains the present year
may be had by knowing that the records kept at
Nebraska City of the number of teams that
crossed the plains at that point previous to the
lst of August. show that 1880 vehicles have
passed over, averaging FIVE animals to team,
and at least many human beings as animals
have crossed.

THE Coming C0MEr.-The astronomical editor
of the Gail, who attends to the comets and stars
and things, makes mention of the approaching
comet. between which and the earth some sensa-
ton astronomers have predicted a collision and
which is now flirting its tail only one hundred
and ten millions of miles from faces Think
Of it and . blink" But more's to come. This
celestial traveller is known as Bicla's comet, and
is the same one that was n visitor. at 'rcspcct-
fll distance. in the year 1876, As yet. il is, Of
course, invisible to the naked eye. On the first
of November it WILL on It's way 10 its perihelion
approach the bright star, Narkab, ( Alpha Pegasl, ,
one of the four bright stars which form the square
OF Pegasus. Then pursuing southerly course
it will the celestial equator about the mid
.dle of December cross its old path of 1916 near
where il separated into two comets. and by the
end of February, its presumed nearest approach
its distance from the earth will be something
less than twenty millions Of miles The above
statements are founded scientific authority
and are probably . worth their face" Whatever
fate earthquakes and the cholera may eventually
bring upon us, it is tolerable safe to conclUdc
that the comet won't fight. Bee.
