The Annroacn of the Cholera.

The announcement that the cholera has
appeared in Desdlen, two Americans being
among its victims in that city, brings to
mind the predictions of various scientific
men that the development of the conti-
mental railway system would assist the
propagation OF this dreaded disease to an
extent which would be likely to assume
grave proportions. Mons. Fe1nand Pa
pilliOn, a distinguished French physician,
who has recently published an essay on
this subject, says that the Turkish and
Persian Governments have shown a great
deal Of intelligence AMI { ''ivity lii hinder
ing the movements of p l4IjnS and other
crowds OF travellers who nave hitherto been
carrying the peStilence with them at their
own viii, and that substantial progress
has been made in stopping the inrcads of
the disease from its old quarters in Arabia,
Egypt, and Constantinolle.
So long as the large majority of travellers
from the East, and between Turkey and
Russia, came by sea, it was possible to
place them under effectual supervision; but
it appears to be impracticable to control
the Tide Of railway travel. In Odessa, for
daily from vessels and are placed in quar-
antine, while four hundred travellers ar
rlving bp rail enter the town without re-
striction. 1t is the same in Turkey
There is rigid quarantine established for
all who come by the Danube, by the
Bosphorus, and by the ports of the Cauca-
Gus; but travellers leaving Russia by rail-
way can go through to Constantinopie by
way of Vienna and Barrach, without in
reference from the authorities. NJ. Pa
pillOn believes that it is on the Russian
side that the dangers are now most to be
dreaded. 1t is thought that the cholera
was carried to Dresden from Pesth, the
two cities being in direct railway commu-
nication with each other.-N. Y. San.

End OF the EeWeI HriaA-AcQuktal of
The Accused

The trial Of young Fewell, which has
been in progress for over week at Brents-
vile, Virginia, for the murder of James f.
Clarke, charged with abducting and running
his sister, and whom lie shot dead While
helpless and 6efenseless within the
bars of prison, resulted last evening in
the rendition of verdict of not guilty, the
jury being out only short while. Their
retirement for deliberation thus appears
only to have been as matter Of form.
Of course The ground of acquiital must lie
somewhere amongst the propositions so in
geniously woven by counsel for the use of
the court in Constructing" the jury as to
the ifs and butts which might be availed of
to indicate insanity-Tu after the shoot
ing was done, and no longer. If any, one
thinks the matter Of the fall of Miss Few
ell has been in any way 5ettered, or socie-
served, by the killing of Clarke, and now
by the aCqui;tal Of the man wiIJ slew him
at every disadvantage, we do not. That
there is need Of adequate provisions by
law for the cOndign punishment Of seduc-
ton no one can deny; but while ever a
community looks only to the mode of deal
ing with such OfIenses as was rasor Il to in
this case, no such statute and lawful pun
ishment as should be provided can possibly
be secured. If that force of public opinion
which is now spent so questionably would
turn itself to the good purpose of demand
iHg al d securing efficient legislation for the
punishment ofthe seducer, or the melting
out ct justice according to the guilt of par
ties in such cases, it would be far better
for the community in the end. If death is
to be the penalty of seduction, let it be
made SO by law, and let the punishment be
administered with the dignity of law

Once more it is our painful task to record
the loss of one Of our journalistic family,
taken Off in the very prime Of his manhood,
and in mid-career of usefulness.
John Summerfeld Greene died very
suddenly yesterday, at 1890 p. M, at his
home in this city, in the Both year of his
age, and leaving behind him genuine and
widespread sorrow that penetrates into
every branch of our business world.
Born in Newbern, North Carolina, in
1888, our deceased co-Worker moved to
this city in 1853 to begin Lis business life.
Since that date he has ever been connected
with Mobile; for he early attached himself
to newspaper life, and has been for many
years employed in the counting room Of
The Register. When the Walker expedition
went to Nicaragua, John Green Joined that
Inflated chief, and served with him until
after the battle Of Rivas. Then he returned
and went lite the Registers employ, only
leaving it when he ranged himself beside the
true men OF the South TO battle for her
rights under the Stars and Bars. Serving
first at Pensacola, with the Continental
Artillery, he was later ordered to Virginia,
where he had his baptism Of fire, on the
staff of the gallant Rodes, at Bull Run.
Transferred thence to Garrlty's Battery,
he saw good service in the West, under
General Bragg, taking part in Chicamauga
and every other heavy action on that line,
and serving through the entire war without
one days furlough. He was captured at
Franklin, and, after passing through two
Northern penitentiaries, was sent to John
ston's Island until exchanged. When the
war ended he returned, as Captain in the
25th Alabama regiment; and soon resumed
his old position in this paper, only to leave
it when so suddenly summoned away for
ever. Mobile Register.

Mcneil Turner, ID, a Presbyterian
minister of great celebrity as teacher, and
who has been in charge of the Davidson
River Academy in Pennsylvania county for
some time, had come to Shelby and prOpO-

ton was cordially entertained and joint
stock company formed, which enabled DR..
Turf cr to purchase property in the centre
Of the town, well suited for a school. And
thus the way was opened i'll a few days
for Or. Turner to open a hISt-class male
school, in which education will be afforded
cheap enough for all classes. I he school
will open III February next, and $40 will
nav The board and tuition Of any pupil for

Grammar Az connected with Kissing
and Flugging.

The Hudson Register deals huMoTously
with question of grammar as follows:
GA searcher after truth Whites to u.s.,
Which is grammaticaly correct, to say
The house is 6uilGing,' or 'Ihe house is
being built > The street is paving Or TIE
street is being paved? There is g V lie
diversity Of opinion upon this subject, but
we incline to favor is being built for the
following reason: Suppose you wish to eX-
press another kind of an idea, would you
say, for irs. dncc, johnny is spmking,' or
johnny is being spaLkcd?' he Giffer
ence toycu may seem i'nmaterial, but it is
a matter Of coi Siderable Importance to
Johnny; AMI it is probable that if any
choice were given him, lie would suddenly
select tie former alternative. You say,
again, that the missionary is eating.' Cel
tainly tlis expresses very different and
much pleasanter idea than the form: The
missionary is being eaten, and the sensa-
ton is very different fer the missionary, too.
We have consulted several missionaries
about it, and they all seem to think that
the two things are somehow not the same,
no matter what the grammarians say.
'But it is to be confessed III - there are
occ lsioIs when the difference IN the form
is not 50 marked. You assert, we say,
that 'uannah is hugging'-Which, by the
way, would be very improper thing for
Hannah to do; it would be positively scam
dalous, indeed. Precisely a similar idea
is conveyed if you say, Hannah, is being
hugged,' because it is popularity Of the
act that it is hardly ever one-sided; there
is no selfshncss about it. And it is the
same with kissing. Jane is kissing'-and
her mother ought to know about it if she
isis just exactly as if we say, 'Jane is
being kissed;' and the sensation is the
same, although none OF the G. ammars, by
a singular inadveltance, mention the fact.
1t Will not be necessary, however, for our
correspondent TO attempt to prove these
last mentioned facts by practice. He must
take our word for them. Unless he does
so, we shall answer no more questions in
syntax for him, or any one else. Our duty
is to conserve the morals Of the commu-
nifty, not to start the people to playing
private games Of Copenhagen"

Tl,e Horse ConIaSsOn.


The malady affecting horse flesh, and
which has swept over the North with mole
or less virulence is slow in its movement
South and West, and Of a milder type
! The affection is sal to 1un its course in
ten days, and readily yiells to good and
prompt treatment-the animals being LAID
Up during their illness.
The dis ease has reached Chal lesion, as
Il following extract from an article III one
of the city papers will show:
''At the Citadel there are seventv-siX
! government horses and four mules. All
of these animals are or have been sick the
disease having started on the right Of the
line and swept like wild-fire through tie
Whole sable. About one La + Of the horses
are now sick, and fouT Of these are in a
very bad condition. They all have hard,
dry coughs, with profuse discharges Of
offensive matter from the mouths and nos
tri!s. The method Of treatment adopted,
and which has proved very cflicaccious,
consists of washing the mouth and nostrils
with cold water, and then steaming with
vinegar. This is done by putting a hot
brick into feed-bag, fastening it on the
horses lead, and then pouring vinegar
Up n the bIick, causing the steam to rise
up into the nost1ils. This causes sreezing
and rarely fails to give immediate relief
Tar is also kept burning in the stables,
as disinfectant and preventive meas
ure."
Although the disease has not yet reached
tlis section, it would be well for owners Of
horses to watch their stick.
The following recipes are said to have
been successfully use at the North
4 OF. Spirits Of Hartshorne.
OF. Tincture Of Arnica.
II pints Oil Of Uen!ock.
II pints Alcohol.
Battle neck and undeijaWs.
Also, ten (1O) drors Of aconite On tongue
;bree times day.
Simple Oxymel, (Honey) OF.
Menderous Spirits, 4 or.
Good English Ale, OF.
Sweet Spirits Nitre, 4 OF
This is to be thoroughly mixed in
bottle and applied internally, three times
a day. In addition to this internal appli-
cation blister of tincture of canthaildes
and turpentine is sometimes found useful.
This should be applied over night, and the
horse kept cool aud fed On oats and bran,
with little fiaXseed mash.
The following recipe has been success

tine. Mix small portion of ipecac and

drops on the tongue every half hour.

A GAY CECEIVER.
A MAN RUNS AWAY WITH A MAX
RIED WOMAN, MARRIES HER,
DESERTS HER, AND RUNS
AWAY WITH A YOUNG
GIRL.

About ten years ago tailor named J. II.
Bugsbee ran away with the wife OF the
Rev. Mr.. Ketchum, Methodist minister
at Grahamsville, Sullivan county, n. .
Mrs. Ketchum was beautiful young Wo-
man, and everybody was surprised at the
affair. The two were never heard OF until
two wears afterward, when they were dis
covered in the village of Ellen7ille. Mr..
KetchuIn, in the meantime, Lad been
divorced. Bugsbee and Mrs. Ketchum
were not married until some time subse-
quent. They started. a tailor shop in that
village, and were apparently getting rich,
when a few weeks ago Bugsbee disap-
peared, and his whereabouts failed to be
ascertaiued.
Toward the latter part OF September last
a man registering his name as }. Ii. Buck
lev appeared at the Mansion House, Month
cello, as the agent of the Davis Sewing
Machine Company. He made good i'm
preston by his stylish clothes, pleasing
address and manners, and found ready
sale for his machines. When lie came to
Monticello there was living there with her
parents, highly respectable but not wealthy
people, a young lady named Flora Ellen.
! She was beau iful in face and form, and 1t
was not long before Buckley made her &C
quaintance, and created in her mind a
| strong interest for him. He represented to
! her parents that he was of wealthy fam
/ ily j.. Florida, but that he had runaway
from home because he disliked the pro-
| fessiOn his father had chosen for him-that
of the ministry. The Aliens apparently
believed his story, but objected TO their
daughter receiving his attentions because
she was then preparing for her marriage
with another. On Thursday he hired a
horse and wagon He and Miss Allen de
parted together, and have not been since
seen. The next night after they went
away, one Of Miss Aliens sisters re-
ceived a letter fiom her dated at JGr-
sew Cry, in which she stated that she
and Buckley were married, and that ii
would be Of no use f,r any Of them
