VNcI Ine IaCJ tnat OF cholera dis
covered in this CITY, day two ago the Herald
gave some excellent advice to the cholera antcipa-
tors, This was to keep clean stomach and a clear
conscience, and trust TO Providence for the rest
NO advice could be better, and It not TO be des-
pised because it came from the Herald doubt not
that Satan himself could give some excellent advice
on multitude Of subjects, and that he has more
common sense than half the children OF light
But 10 yield to merriment, TO live in accordance
with healthful habits, and to cultivate cheerful
disposition, are after all, the best preservatves-
much better than the liquid taismans sold in the
druggists shops. A Massachusetts, liquor law would
also clap stopper on it sooner than doctors medl.
cnes, for whisky and cholera are 'pals" to one an
other in chasing their victims to death.
One of the wonderful things Mr.. Fisk has lately
done is the establishment of line OF free cabs be-
tween Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street ferry
1t Is bold and original idea, and takes extremely
well. Attenders at his opera house. who use the
TWenty-third street ferry their way home are de-
lighted with it, On coming from the theatre all they
nave 10 DO Is to enter one OF those esdve Fiskian
cabs and in a few moments they are deposltel safe
and sound in the ferry-boat At the OF Twen-
ty-thtrd street and Fifth avenue also, above the rail-
way ticket office there, he has established an i'm
mense revolving calcium light, whose dazzling
fectons be for miles. 1t is eminenty
Fskan. The man lives for notorety. lie has tasted
the sweets and the sours of publicity and the sours
are just good to him as the sweets. 1t is all the
same to him so that his affairs made public. 1t is

Mademoiselle Sangali who for so many months
was the pet at the olympic, has lately lost all her
prestige 1t is not that she is any less daring, or
graceful, or fascinating in any way than she at
rst it is not that she does not execute her pas with
as much precision and elegance, and that she is not
as faultless and conscientious when she first
to this city. Oh no the fault lies deeper, and is
more ncurable than either Of these would be- 1t lies
in the per6diousness OF the public which first safes
itself with good thing, and then dsgustedly bures
it out Of sight. The hands that few weeks ago
were raised to wildly applaud her are now motion
less bouquets, as purchasable as those previously
thrown her now fade in the nower-girls hands.
When she comes on the stage, the house is indfer
ent; when she goes of, no one notices it. For this
is Of the penalties pays for heeting p0pu-
larity The Kiralfes are the innocent but audaCOus
destroyers of Mademoselle Sangali's peace of mind
Unlike the dove, she not only finds no res for the
sole of her foot but not even green leaf applause
to fasten on. The mad groesqueness OF the Klralty
family has destroyed the love Of even Legitimate"
dancing for the dancing of the Krahes is to that Of
Sanga what opera bOu6e is to grand Italian opera.
general" Dominick Murray has written a "card"
to one of the dailies Iwonder how many of these
cards have been written during the past year. They
nothing but gratutous advertisements, and the
actors knowing this the opportunity for writing them

OF this thing, bat not too much. At any rate, it
don't care for more than one card from the same
person and now that Mr.. Tayleure has written has
card and general" Murray has written his, and
both have been printed it is to be assumed that the
combatans are well satisfied as though they had
been mutually 'tpinked" in duel by daybreak.
Within the past twelvemonth the New York public
has borne quite enough from English actors and
actresses. Is it the custom for American actors to
behave so, wonder on the other side of the water?
The fact:s at the present day too many British
performers imagine that, in coming to the United
States they are honoring with a visit slightly
civilized of Goths and Vandals They find it i'm
possible to realize that New York has population
one-thrd that of London, and that in many respects
our reinements surpass those OF the English capt.
tai Perhaps general" Murray is one of those in
credulous ones. II so, his black eye has brought
him to a sense of the true state of things and has
proved one Of the best 'Murray's Guide-books'
eXtant.
We are to have mellow season Of rejoicing here
over the fact that the Pacific Railroad is completed
1t is to beat the Boston Jubilee and the Baltimore
Sengerfest We are to have musical festival q
military parade, street exhibition OF trades and
commodities, and numerous big dinners 1t is in
tended to make the demonstration great in every
way, and not to do the thing by halves 1t is to be
general holiday, to commence wth-a mixture .o
Christmas, New Years Day. Thanksgiving, and the
Fourh:of July all in one, well shaken together, ant
boiled down. The ''ca' which invites to this de
monstraton is signed by many bankers an(
hotel propretors. But the affair has not got the lool
of spontaneity about II. 1t has not seemed to but
and burst of its own accord. 1t has been forced. Il
is like picking a blossom open with ones fingers
instead of trusting to the gratutousness OF nature
But New York crystaizes the goaheadatveness o
the nineteenth century, and when wonderful thing
are doing every day, cannot spare time to celebrate
them. Wonderful things become commonplace b,
repetition, and cOnstantly-Tecurring phenomena lost
their pDnts of admiration and become plain matters

The Women's Rights Association has dwindlet
downnto a very small number at its rooms in Eas
Twelty-third street. Warm weather and the flies
