The New Yorker Staats. Zeitung says Of
the Banks detection: "The secession of Cen
eral Banks from the ranks OF General Grant

The cable a few days since spoke OF the
approach OF cholera westward through Rus.
sis, and q later dispatch announced the ap-
pearauce Of three cases In Berlin. It may
next be heard OF In Hamburg and Altoona, and
at other points In various parts OF Europe. Al
most every year we hear such reports, with
some difference in localities. An official re-
port has recently been made in England In
which the progress and direction Of cholera
for several years past is traced, from which 1t
would seem to be probable that cholera has
now become one of the permanent diseases of
the world, and ls always prevailing in one
place or another. 's
IF there be any doubters who still insist
upon dIscredinng the Stanley-LtvIngston
revelations, they will be sllenced by the late
cable dispatches. Lord Granville officially
acknowledges the receipt Of package OF
letters and dispatches FROM DR.. Livingstone,
delivered to the British ambassador in Paris
by Mr.. Stanley. Lord Granville writes to Mr..
Stanley that there Is no question of the au-
thentlcity of these documents; DR.. Living
stones son says ''ditto,' and the redoubtabfe
Stanley himself Is invited to dine with the
Premier OF England, to breakfast with the
Duke OF Argyle, and to become the guest OF
the Mayor of Brighton. There can be no
further question ss to the discovery of Dr.
Livingstone by Mr.. Stanley, and as to- the au
thentlclty of all the letters delivered in Eng
land. The letters published in America now
alone have to carry the marks Of discredit,
and we have no doubt they wiz in due Time
be fully authenticated. Though it is very odd
thatin the latter there are some very peculiar
American slang phrases which at least sug-
gest, that Mr.. Stanley may have taken the
liberty to ssspice thepa up" little
AN Ideal miser has just died in New York,
after brief illness. His name was Mitchell
Hart, and he was called the millionaire pawn
broker CT Chatham street. He was most
remarkable man, eccentric in habit, and died
worth over three millions Of dollars. For the
past thirty years, tits said, he never left the
city, and since his boyhood he had lived with
his brother Henry in the dingy brick struc-
ture In Chatham street, 30 we'll known to pc
destrians of that thoroughfare as 1.-The Mi
ser's Rest" Mitchell was never inside
theatre, never attended party or ball, and
never had holiday. He died without having
seen Brooklyn-although he was born in New
York, or Hoboken, or Staten Island. He nev-
er saw locomotive, or knew how the coun-
try looked. he had great genius for making
money. When the Third Avenue Railroad was
In Its infancy, and the stock very low, these
brothers bought twenty-five thousand out Of
forty Thousand shares, which they have since
held, and which, 1t Is useless 10 say, insured
a splendid fortune. The brothers led genu-
Inc hermits life, passing all their days in the
old den referred to, with no one near them
