Cholera i'm Now York City.

The New York Express says the publica-
ton of the case of cholera in Ninety third
street, in that city (Mrs. JENCKs,) was a
breach of confidence, but it adds.
That cholera is in this city may be fact
beyond dispute, but each case Should be
stated just as il is. The first brought TO no.
tice was the one above referred to. Some
doubt having arisen as to whether the cause
of death was cholera or not an autopsy was
held on the body last night, the result of
which confirmed the statement of the at
tendant physicians that the woman died of
the Asiatic scourge.
Late on Wednesday afternoon another
case was reported as existing In tenement
house in Mulberry street.-the victim like
wise female. She was attacked, it ap-
pears. by the premonitory diarrhea on
Tuesday night, and at last accounts was in
the last stages of the disease.
The appearance of the eholera-at two
different places-as far removed from each
other as Ninety-third and Mulberry streets.
almost simultaneously, is somewhat re-
markable circumstance, and one that fur
nishes ground for careful consideration.
This last case, it will be seen, was in n
tenement house in which lived about one
hundred families. The least predisposition
to cholera under such circumstances, of
course, insures its growth.

In n Nut-shelI

IL must be gratifying to Democrats tC
find such evidences of returning reason in
the Republican papers, as the following in
the New York Tribune Of the ID inst:
The WAY THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IT.
The Southern States claimed, and the North
denied, the right TO seeede from the Union
Both believed they were right, and appeal
ed TO the arbitrament of war. The North
conquered. The South accepted the result
why, then. do we maintain that States
which we said could not get out of the
Union, are out Of nT'
That's the question the people would
like answered-because If they are in the
Union, they are entitled to representation
in Congress.

The Menken.

Adah Isaacs Menken arrived in New
York by the last steamer from Europe,
bringing her flying steed, Haidee-ul-Azeen.
her diamonds her funds, her femme de
chamber, and all her costly wardrobe with
her. An engagement has been effected with
Mr.. George Wood, of the Broadway theatre.
by the terms of which she will appear
twenty-four nights at that place of amuse-
ment and receive for the same five hundred
dollars for each appearance, or twelve thous-
and dollars for the season. Having netted
seventeen thousand pound sterling in Lon
don, received one hundred and twenty-five
Thousand dollarsin gold for one hundred
nights in California, she may expect to find
but few managers in the United States who
are able to enjoy the luxury other rpresence
upon their boards.

RAISE SHEEP.-At convention of wool
growers of Illinois Mr.. Amsden gave his
own experience as thebest argument for
raising sheep. He had begun by shipping
grain, and the first lot he shipped to Chi.
eago, in corn, lacked $27 81 of paying the
charges. He vowed revenge, and in three
years raised $9,S00 worth of produce, and
the railroads shipped that to New York for
the sum of 1892. That produce was wool
and mutton. If he had had that in grain,
it would have amounted TO 4,S00 bushels,
costing $4,000 to get it TO New York. 1t,
therefore, costs one hundred and twenty
times as much to get one dollars worth Of
corn'to market as it did to send wool.

Wei Said.

The indianapolis Herald has said, with
emphatic truthfulness, that President JoHN-
SON is beginning his reconstruction of the
Republican party at the wrong end. 1t is
all very well to remove radical postmasters
and CHASE revenue officers, but these
changes will be unimportaDt unless they
are accompanied by the removal of the rad
ical members of the cabinet. The way to
kill the hydra Of the Northern rebellion is
to chop off its heads instead of wasting
time in trimming off the the little end of its
tail.

The New Postmaster at Pittsburg

Referring to the statement that President
johnson had selected cousin of the rebel
Wade Hampton as Postmaster at Pittsburg.
the Post. of that city. denies that the ap-
pointee is relative of the Southern chief
tain, and very pointedly adds that it would
have shown more disposition to tell the
truth if it had been stated that the new
postmaster is brother of Captain Robert
Hampton. of the Union army, killed at
Chancellorsyille,

Chicago for large building for the Young

OF this amount $4,000 is for the lot. 1t is
to be a fine large block, and it is believed that

at the disposal of the Trustees to maintain

GB The secret of George Peabody's
wealth is said to have been the great con-
fidence he had in the securities of the
United States, not only during the war,
but long before it. When Western State
stocks were at very low price, and nobody
abroad would buy them, because no one
had confidence in them-when Indiana
and other bonds were offered abroad at
song, and nobody would buy, Mr.. Peabody
purchased freely.

There is localism which nothing but tray,
