ADVANCE OF THE CHoLERA.-Foreign
letters say that the rumored extension
of the cholera from Russia into the
Baltic provinces of Russia, has very
naturally caused alarm, least the NAL
ady should again spread from West
Europe to this country. The news re-
quired confirmation, and much of the
alarm depends upon a mistaken notion
of the rapidity of diffusion, and direc-
ton of progress of the epedemic. One
account describes the disease as having
made its way in the familiar cholera
route from Persia through Russia to the
shores of the Baltic, and the Registrar
General in his last weekly report, writes
that the Asiatic cholera, as it was a
painful duty to announce early last
June, is entering Western Europe
through Russia, where DR.. Zuetzer says
it is fast advancing on the German from
tiers. In the second week of this month
it broke out in Witkowyski, town in
Poland, on the road to Kroningsberg,
west of the Niemen, where thirty
deaths occurred within a few days. The
epidemic has prevailed in wilma for
four weeks, and from ten to fifteen
deaths are reported daily. At its pres
ent rate of progress it may reach Ger
many in three or four weeks.

MaZZini on the Paris Commune.

In an interesting article on The
Commune and the Assembly in the
Roma del Popolo, Mazzini says:
"The orgy of fury, vengeance, and
blood, of which Paris has offered the
spectacle to the world, would fill our
soul with despair if we had merely an
opinion and not a faith. A people
which wallows about as if drunk, rag
ing against itself with its teeth and
lacerating its limbs, while bowling
triumphal cries-which dances an in
fernal dance before the grave it has dug
with its own hands-which kills, tor
lures, burns, committing crimes without
sense, aim, or hope-which vociferates
like the fool who sets fire to his own
pile before the eyes of the foreign foe
against whom it did not know how to
fght-such a people puts US in mind OF
some of the most horrid visions OF
Dante's He'll. The doings of both par.
ties in France are marked by an lro-
kese ferocity,' by an insane blood
thirstiness more characteristic of wild
beasts than of men,. He condemns
in the strongest terms the acts of the
Commune, which, based on no princi
pie of patriotism or of humanity, shot
the hostages in cold blood, when THEN
death could not even serve the cause o
the Commune, and threw the torch
into edifices that are the ancient glory
of the town.

ChlOrOfOrming Rattlesnake.

From the Louisville Courier
Last Sunday evening a rattlesnake.
about three and a half feet long and
seven and half inches in circumfer-
ence, having six rattles, was captured
alive by two workmen at the terminus
of the Lebanon branch of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. 1t was brought
to this city yesterday by Mr. Ballard,
the mail agent, and presented to DR..
Charles j. Wander Lept, corner of Pres
ton and Lafayette streets. The Doctor,
seeing that the snake would make an
excellent specimen for museum, con.
cluded to preserve it in alcohol, and
send it to Europe. He proceeded to
kill it by first administering chloroform
to it, and then to preserve the specimen
intact, he plunged the snake into a
large jar full of alcohol The reptile
was quite motionless after receiving the
an@sthetic, and, strange to say, exhibit
ed no signs of life until it had been in
the spirits fully fifteen minutes. 1t
then began to writhe in the jar in such
manner to render necessary the forci-
ble retention of the lid upon the vessel.
In short time all signs of vitality
ceased

IT is estimated that the sale of corsets
to the United States increases five per
cent. every year. In 1870 ten million
dozen corsets were imported, and the
annual domestic production was one
million five hundred thousand pairs.
In the same year were imported two
hundred dozen corsets for the use OF
