LATEST advices from London state
that the cholera Is abating in the Baltic
provinces, and hopes are entertained
that the disease, at least In Its worst
type, Will not appear In England or
cross the Atlantic. Such hopes should
not cause the people Of this country to
abstain from preparations to ward of
the disease. Many persons rest in the
belief that 1t Is only a summer visitor,
but this Is a dangerous delusion, as the
history Of Its ravages proves. In the
wear 1882 Il visited Edinburgh In jan
uary, and London in February, and
during the same months Of last year 1t
ragged terribly In st. Petersburg, not
w%ithstanding the intense cold OF that
Northern capital. The immense emil
grafton Of the lower classes Of Europe
to this country affords every oppor-
tunity for the transmission Of epidemic
disease, and In view Of this fact the de-
fence which IL being made against such
an invader Is totally inadequate.

A SINGULAR DlsEAsE.-A singular
disease has made Its appearance among
the cattle OIL the Payette and Weiser.
1t Is reported as prevailing In some
portions of the Fast, and ulso In east

come stone blind, and apparently there
Is nothing else wrong with them.
Their general health does not seem to
be impaired by 1t, and the voracity Of
the appetite does not at all diminish.
The disease makes its appearance in
one eye first In the character Of white
or greyish seam which o o spreads
over the eye. effecsually binding the
sight, 1t Is then communicated to the
other eye and speedily the animal Is
LEFT In total and helpless blindness.

covered and others have not. We have
heard OF no deaths from it. A solution
Of vltrlol injected Into the eve has, we

with good effect. 1t Is q very strange

Why ID IT.-Why is 1t that during

be allowed In Sacramento? Last night
gaming, tables were openly run In va
rious portions of the city, more partic-
ularly on X street, along most the en-
tire business length OF which the chinE
Of money and the suppressed imDreca-
lions of the losers could be heard, while
several Of the games employed music
to lure the unwary Into their tolls. We
should have spoken OF this before the
Fair but that we had the implied as
surance of the Chief of Police that pub
lie gambling would not be permitted,
and RETAINED Mt his request from mcn-
tloning the matter. Chief Smith last
year won the highest encomiums OF our
citizens by his course on the gambling
question. Last night we heard several
unfavorable comments on his permit
ting the games to 60 on this year. We
hope he does not wilfully intend to
sacrifice the well-won reputation of a
year ago, this week.-Sdc. Record.

DURING the brief life Of the Paris
Commune from March 18th to May
2lst, ffty-oue newspapers were started
IN that city, only two Of which are
now surviving. Several Of them only
appeared once, when they failed or
were suppressed. The longest lived,
except one of those that persisted with
the Commune, was Father Duehene,
taking the name Of q celebrated paper
Of l7s3, which was the official organ,
and reached So numbers. The Cry o.
tie People, though twice suppressed,
printed 80 numbers. A complete col.
lection OF these whimsical papers, born
Of the popular insanity, would be ex-
eesdingly valuable to the future stu
dent ofthe red days. Several Of them
are already scarce.

Of the 10th instant:
Last Monday, at Cherokee Flat. one

this declaration the men at the table
looked around, and one, Thomas
Moran, left his seat, when Williams
confronted him and demanded q fight.
II was but O moment until both parties
stood on the defensive. Williams had
a knife In his hand, with which, after
o slight skirmish, lie stabbed Moran In
tho left side, just under the arm, then
over the right eye, then under the chin,
and was striking rapid blows ut Mo.

have been killed but for Williams
