FEAAglIS AND MARSHALL COLLEGE. AT the
late annuul meeting Of Board Of Trustees
Of Franklin and Marshall College, the resig
nation of Hon, James Buchanan, as President
Of the Board, was rendered, accepted, and
Hon. John Cessna was elected to fill the va
caney. The attendance at this meeting was
larger than at any previous meeting of the
Board for many years, and most hopeful
feeling animated all present. There seems to
be an earnest determination among all the
members to 60 to work with renewed energy
to place the College in the front rank Of instr
tutions Of its class, and, as we have before re-
marked, we have no doubt that these efforts
will be crowned with success. The selection
of Mr.. Cessna as President of the Board Of
Trustees, is a step III the right direction, and
a very important one. Mr.. Cessna possesses
in high degree all the requisite qualifications
for this responsible position. he is man oi
progress, fully up with the spirit Of the age,
and is, moreover, in the prime Of life. The
friends OF the College, therefore, have cause
to congratulate themselves upon the emineni
fitness of this selection. Exchange.

Signs for MarriageabIe Ladies.

If man wipes his feet on the door

NAV be sure be will make good domes-
tic husband. If man in snutiing the
candles snuffs them out, you may be sure
he will make stupid husband. II man
puts handkerchief on his knees when
taking his tea, you may be sure he will
be prudent husband. In the same way
always mistIust the man who will not
take the last piece Of toast of Sally Dun,
pu, prefers waiting for the next warm
batch. 1t is not unlikely he will make a
greedy, selfish husband, with whom you
will enjoy no ''brOwn" at dnUer, no
crust at tea, no peace whatever at home.
The man, my dears, who is careful about
wrapping himself up well before ventur.
ing into night air, not unirequenily makes
a good invalid husband that mostly stops
at home and is easily com(orted with
slops. The man who watches the kettle,
and prevents its boiling over, will not
fail, my deaGs, in The married state, In
exercising the same care in always keep
ing the pot boiling. The man who
doesn't take tea, i'll treats The cat, takes
snuff, and stands with his back to The FIRE,
is brute whom | would not advise you,
my dears, to marry upon any considera
ton, either for love or money, but decl-
dedIy not for love. But the man who.
when the tea is over, is discovered to have
had none, is sure to make the best hus-
band. Patience like his deserves being
rewarded with the best of wives, and the
best of mo,hers-in,law. My dears, when

marry him. In the severest winter he

The Cholera In the East-A Fearful De-
scription or the Plague.


A corresp spondenl OF The Washington
Chronicle, wiring from Consianlinople on
The 18th Of September, furnishes some IN
teresting facts concerning The late chol-
era scourge in that city and the East gen.
eralIy. From the medical and official re-
ports he computes the total number OF
deaths by the plague in Cons,sntinople 10
be lully $4,000. During the six weeks
of It's ravages there, business was com
ple,ely suspended and the only occupa-
lion Of the living seemed 10 have been The
burial OF the dead. In stamboul the bod
les were carried down in large barges,
containing fifty or sixty bodies at time.
Thousands wen: TO bed in perfect health
and were corpses next morning. Among
The Turks il was particularly fatal. be-
cause Of their vegetable diet, their wretch
ed ,enements. the dark and very filthy
streets in which they live and their obsli-
nate aversion 10 medicine. In many ca
ses their fatalism was so intense that they
refused TO take any precaunon, or adop'
anv remedies, believing that 1t was COOS
will they should die, and that no human
skill could battle the cecrees OF destiny.
An immense accumulation Of filth IN ono
quarter Of the city densely populated was
saturated by the rain and subsequently
.les,ered in the sum-" until /, sent forth
the most deadly effluvia, which. borne on
the hot wind, carried almost instant death
in its tracks People were attacked with
violent COLES, vomiting, diarrhoea and
cramps, resulting in death. Such was
the corruption of the atmosphere iha, tho
poultry were all struck dead, and phos-
phorus matches decOmpoSed and would
not light.
The starting point of this fearful desc.
lation seems to have been at the great
Pilgrim gathering at Mecca. which occurs
once in ihir.y-three years, and gathers
pilgrims from all parts OF the East. Up
wards of 40O, 600 devo,ees were convened
at the shrine OF The prophets this year and
at least one.half Of them were swept away
by the terrible destroyer. OF l2,5oO pill
grims from India, but $500, survived.
Twenty thousand corpses were left
unburied in the streets of Djeddah, the
seaport of Mecca, by the returning pill
prlms, and the whole route from Constan-
lnople through the deser. of Mecca, was
covered with thousands upon thousands
of dead bodies. As The pilgrims returned
10 their respective countries they carried
the peslilence with them. The caravan
had hardly reached the gates Of Damascus
before the cholera broke out there. and in
few days the deaths were two and three
hundred daily. Thence it spread to
neighboring localities. The Total mortal
i jly in the Turkish empire cannot fall
short of 350,000.
