WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs.--By reference
to our advertising columns, 1t will be seen
that this popular and healthfui summer re-
sort is to be re-opened to hepubllc on the
both of May next. The "White Sulphur"
has always been a favorite place of sojourn
for our citizens during the warm season,
and thcy will be gratified to learn that the
establishment is TO be re-opened under such
favorable auspices. Mr.. John II. Ferry, the
present proprietor, has thoroughly rentted
and refurnished it, and he is determined
that it shall not be excelled, in all its ap-
pointments, by any other watering place
in the country. He is personally known to
us as a gentleman eminently fitted TO con-
duct an establishment of this kind, and VIC
can assure all who contemplate visiting the
White Sulphur during the coming season,
that no effort will be spared on the part OF
himself and his assistants to promote the
pleasure, comfort and convenience OF
his guests. As the threatened epidemic
will doubtless cause many people residing
in cities to seek more healthful and congen-
ial location, 1t would be well for all such
to make timely application for quarters at
the White Sulphur.

The Approach of Chofera.

II Is useless TO disguise the fact that we
are threatened with this dreaded pesti-
lence. 1t is already upon our shores. We
do not make this statement for the purpose
of exciting the fears Of any one; but the
truth may as well be known In time, and
behooves all to put their houses In order.
We are gratified 10 witness the promptness
and efficiency with which our Board of
Health have taken the matter in hand, and
their efforts should be cheerfully seconded
by every inhabitant OF the city. II will
require time and much labor to remove the
accumulated filth Of montbs and years, ere
the hot weather shall be upon us, and ne
faithful citizen will hesitate TO use all the
energy he possesses TO abate and remove
these nusances ais far as lies in his power
There Is no reason to believe that the
present threatening epidemic viii differ
from the four previous ones. In the sum
mer and fall of 1881 it appeared ON the
western and northern coast of England,
reaching New York the following sum
mer, on the 25th day of July, 1882 on
which day twenty-one cases were reported
from different points In the city. In the
summer Of ls4s it appeared again, first in
England, spreading along the southern
shores, and then northwardly to Scotland,
On the 70 of December, 1913, It was
brought by the ship New York TO New
York City, the vessel losing seven cases
during the last week Of her voyage. The
following summer QSl9) the epidemic pre-
vailed in that city and extended to the
West, taking our own city in its progress.
During the year 1865 the ship Atlanta ar
rived at New York, bringing the intelli-
4 gence of its march through Western Eu-
rope, reaching, as on previous occasions,
the Southern parts Of England Generally
attacking this country one year after it had
ragged in Europe, it seems to have followed
the same course the present year, and Ii
now upon our seaboard.
There is no reason to hope that our city
will escape the scourge, while medical mer
are emphatic In declaring as their belle
that, when II comes, 1t viii occupy its pre-
vious haunts, where filth and the neglec
of allsanitary precautions, under ahot sun

streets and alleys, removing gill huisances

and Over-crQwded houses and having then

We know that the Board Of Health is ac

STREET CLEANING In CINoNNATr.-The
authorities Of Cincinnati have adopted a
very good system of street cleaning opera
tions. which is briefly described in the fol-
lowing paragraph fom the Commercial of

same plan in Dayton, including the "mu-

On the first of May next the Supervisors
of the STRENGTHENING Department will put
In operation something of q system in the
important work of removing garbage from
dwellings. The eighty carts and horses,
and sufficient force OF men will be ein-
ployed during the forenoon In removing
garbage freIn residences, and during the
afternoon in cleaning the streets. BY this
plan, IL is presnmed, all the garbage bar
rels and boxes viii be emptied three or four
times per week. or every other day. Should
IL become necessary the force will be SO in-
creased as to do this work every day of the
week. The collars Of the horses drawing
the carts are to be ornamented with bells
three to each, which 1t Is calculated will
serve the double purpose of warning house
wives of the approach of the carts and o.
furnishing music for the public. The idea
of this music Is supposed to be of a saul

Very Fine Writing.

AMONG the Assyrians, the common mode
Of keeping records Of national and historical
events was by stamping the words upon
bricks, tiles, or cylinders Of clay baked after
the impression was produced Mr.. Layard
the celebrated explorer in digging among
the ruins of ancient Nnevah, found many
specimens of these records, most Of which
were written in such small characters, that
their forms could only be made out with the
use of microscope. a rude magnifying

had probably been used Tor such purpose

EnglHh Railways.


MR. MOSES BEACH, who is now in Europe,
is greatly discontented with the contrast be-
tween English and American railways. He
says:
We have stood still comparatively these
twenty years in railroad affairs, and hence,
from being first, are now in the second rank.
The Engishman sticks to his compartment
cars, but adds to the number of Compartments
in each car until, on the newest roads, the
length OF car fully equals the American
Then his system of rigid attachment Of cars
produces a steadiness of motion much to be
preferred over our jerking rattle-traps But,
perhaps, the most striking change is in the
mode of taking water. What think you of
running a train of'a dozen cars two hundred
miles or more, in FIVE hours and without a
stop OF any kind The thing is done here
A sufflciency of coal for fuel is easily proVid-
ed, OF course, and only necessitating the car
riage, OF a few pounds extra weight. The
water Is taken up once in some twenty miles,
without the slightest delay, by simple con-
trivance, cuts enough to have originated in
Yankee brain, If it did not A trough, half
a mile long, one foot wide, and four inches
deep, made of cast iron, is placed between
the rails, and filed with water As the train
passes over this trough, one end of pipe
reaching forward for the tender is lowered
into tie water The motion of the train
forces the water up the pipe into the tender,
and the thing is done My description may
not convey the idea to a nOn-mechanical
mind, but those who have bailed out leaEy
boats with scoop, as often as you have
done, will understand this method OF SCOOP
ing water for the locomotive With us this
plan would answer for taking up small an
thrscite coal as we'll as water, I do not doubt,
so that we might run trains across the conti-
nent without stop, if that were desirable

Never Travelled.

a sToRYsis told Of an old lady who lived

bought her ticket. walked on the platform,
put down her rocking chair, sat down in it,
took out her knitting, and went to work dill
gently Steadily she rocked and worked,
trains coming in and leaving as the car time
came round. The old lady made no attempt
to 90 on the cars, but kept knitting. The
last train was about starting, when the de-
pot master went up and asked her if she was
going out
" Yes, sir replied to old lady.
"Hadnt you better get on board and Sc

Thank you, sir, I'm very comfortable,
replied the elderly lady
The train lett. The master came around
again. Madam, shall have to disturb you,

It was done in the fairest way, without any
