The Asiatic Cholera .

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
There are reasons for fearing that the
dread sconrge which travels with such
mysterious and fatal steps around the
world Is rapidly approaching this coun.
try. A cable telegram from London
states that "there have been recently some
cases at Hull, which Is on the route Of
emigrants from the North Of Germany to
AmericA;" and this statement Is almost
one degree less alarming than the ap.
pearanco Of cholera on m emigrant ship
ARRIVING at New York. II therefore be.
hOoves the authorities and citizens gen.
orally to prepare for the approaching
peril. Cleanliness, and an avOidvance Of
unsightly accnmulatons Of filth are i'm.
portant and COmmendablc at all times,
but in years when there Is reason for ap.
pretending an outbreak Of cholera, II IL
very dangerous and criminal to neglect
sanitary precautions. Whatever may be
the true theory In regard to the means by
which the cholera Is propagated, the fact
that It's ravages can be restrained by mil
nicipal cleanliness has repeatedly been
demonstrated, and all the inhabitants OF u

Sanitary precautions against the cholera
must be comprehensive and universal IN
their scope, Ms well as individual; and In

vice, combined with liberal use Of dis.
infectants, may be the means Of saving
hundreds II not thousands OF lives. Ex.
