The Cholera In New York.


The cholera appears to be slowly work
ing its way ip New York, although it does
not appear to cause extraordinary excite
mcnt. Cases, occurring mostly among the
poorer classes, living ia crowded localities
teeming with filth, are reported daily. One
man died on Friday, While two new cases
are announced. One was an emigrant but
lately arrived. DR.. Harris, in an oGSia
report, says: =
That the cholera poison is in New York
city, we know, and that it iis has thus far
struck down its victims ia aeeordance with
the principle that removable causes have
localized it. OF excited it into fatal activity.

alton wasn't policy?
House rents are cheap in Boston. Moving is
cheaper than house rent. Its all allowing to the
hub-the big organ and the cradle.
There is no drinking in Boston. No peculiar
female characters, What is common is not pecu-
liar.
New Bedford is to be moved into Boston soon.
BY legislative enactment the mumps are to be
confined to Democrats-the cholera is to trouble
foreigners-the chicken pox is to be confined to
old hens-niggers are to have straight hair to
disgrace them and the whites are to have curly
wool on their craniums to make them popular in
Boston. Not forgetting the big organ and the
cradle of liberty.
New York is in the watch fob, the South in the
breeches pocket, and the West buttons on the
coat of Boston.
The sun rises in Boston-the final conf1agration
of mundane things will begin in Boston, on &c
count of the big organ and cradle. Boston would
have been laid out more regularly if the dogs OF
olden times had been pointers or the cows had
walked in more direct paths. Therefore we see
many calves in Boston. So much for fitting

The World is Full OF Beauty.

There is beauty in the forest.
Where the trees are green and fair;
There is beauty In the meadow,
Where the flowers scent the air;
There is beauty in the sunlight,
And the soft blue beam above;
Oh! the world is full of beauty
When the heart is full Of love!
There is beauty in the fountain,
Singing gaily at the play,
While rainbow hues are glittering
On its silvery, shiney spray.
There is beauty in the streamlet,
Murmnring softly through the grove;
Obi the world is full of beauty,
When the heart is full oflove!
There is beauty in the moonlight,
When 1t sleeps upon the sea,
While blue, foam crested billows
Dance and frOlic jealOnsly;
There is beauty in the lightning CLEANS
That o'er the dark waves royei
Oil the world is full of beauty,
When the heart is full OF loyei
There Is beauty in the brightness
Besming from loving eye,
in the warm blush of affection,
In the tear of sympathy;
In the sweet, low voice of accents
The spirits gladness prove;
oh! the world is full of beauty,
When the heart is full of love!

Would / smother hiufin fannels,
Just because his voice was low:
Dose him up with bella donna?
Silly mothers treat them so.
Would I think his brow Byronic,
Just because it was so bare?
And his head Napoleonic
In its shape-though minus hair7
Could l trace the marks of genius
In his eyebrows, arched and low,
Yet I've known some silly mothers,
With their babies, think just SO.

DEATH OF GENERAL CAss.-The venera-
BILE statesmen, General Lewis Cass, as we
are informed by telegraph, died yesterday
morning, at his residence in Detroit. Gen.
Cass was born at Exeter, New Hampshire,
9th of October, 1882, and was consequent
ly 81 years of age. Having received a
limited education at his native place. at
the early age of seventeen he crossed the
Allegany mountains on foot and settled at
Marietta, Ohio, where he studied law, and
was subsequently elected to the Ohio Leg
islature, in which body he distinguished
himself, and originated the bill which ar
rested the proceedings of Aaron Burr and
gave the first blow to what is known as the
Burr conspiracy. AS soldier General
Cass commenced his career as a volunteer
against the Indians on the frontier in 1911,
and was elected colonel of an Ohio regi-
ment in the war of 1912, with Great Bri-
tain. He served with distinction, urged
the invasion of Canada, and was the au-
thor of the proclamation of that event. lie
was the first to land arms on the enemy's
shore, and with small detachment of
troops fought and won the first battle
that OF Tarontec. After the surrender of
Detroit he was made colonel in the reg
ular army, and finally brigadier gene
raj, and served in the battle of the
Thames, on the staff of General Harrison
by which battle the previous disasters on
that frontier were retrieved. He was
then, in 1913, appointed Governor of
Michigan Territory by President Madison,
reoonciling the difficulties with the Indians
and SECURING property to the territory
He held this position for eighteen months,
when General jackson made him Secre.a-
ry of War, and subsequently, minister to
France. His celebrated protest against
the qulntuple treaty, which provided for
the indlseriminate right of search on the
high seas, put an end to that scheme. Re-
turned home, he was chosen Senator from
Michigan, now become State, in 1915,
but resigned on being nominated the dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency in
1S4S. Having been defeated, he was the
following year again chosen Senator. and
continued in that position till he finally re-
tired from public life.-Bah. Sun.

of the prisoner elsewhere and subsequent to the
transaction on Blannerhassett Island, 1.-THE al
legged overt act of treason, can be admitted, be-
cause such testimony being in its nature merely
corroborative and incompetent to prove the overt
act in itself, is irrerelant until there can be the
proof of the overt act By ts1o pifnesseso The jury
with these instructions returned the following
qualified verdict Of acquital "We, of the jury,
say that Aaron Burr IS not proved TO be gully un
der the indictment by any evidence submitted to
us. We therefore find him not gnilty."
The verdict greatly excited Burr, who at once
sprang to his feet, and with great excitement of
manner protested against the form of the indict-
ment, and demanded that it should be rendered
in the regular and less damaging form. The
verdict was finally simply entered on the record
as "not guilty" Burr was then admitted to bail,
and tried and acquitted of the charge of misde-
committed in Virginia. Thus eight months after
his arrest, and six months after the commence
ment of proceedings against him in Virginia,
Burr was once more free.
The srial of Calender and Burr, in their day
and generation, enchained the attention of the
whole nation but compared with the proposed
trial of the exPresdent of the Confederate States
they shrink iuto absolute insigni6cance. Callen-
der was a low, brutal and drunken hack writer,
whose cause was espoused by a party then rising
into power, to annihilate the Federal party. Burr
was an unprincipled, disappointed adyenturer
whose real object must always remain question
of grave doubt. ~
The distinguished and unfortunate statesman
who is soon to be tried is the representative Of
the millions who agreed with him in sentiments
and who conferred upon unsolicitated and dam
gerous honors. His character as u man of spot
less integrity, ability and Christian. virtues, is
not questioned nor is it pretended that he is the
author and principal promoter of the late civil
war. Thousands who were far more active in
initiating hostilities than himself have been long
since pardoned. lie ALONE, merely as conse-
quence of having held high office, is to be tried
for his life.
In this trial we recognize the arraingment and
prosecution not Of one man but of an entire Sec
tion. Hence in dignity and importance it will
be the most important trial which ever occurred.
