Another ReunIon Next Yea,

A meeting was held at Camp Doubleday
this morning friday presided over by
Gen. w. G.. Veazey, for the special purpose
to arrange for another soldiers reunion like
the present. Enthusiastic speeches were
made by number of Vermont officers, all
eongratulatory of the great success that
has attended this gathering and strongly in
favor of similar reunion in "A. 1t was
agreed that the old soldiers of the state
meet In Burlington the last week in August
next year. Gen Geo. j. Stannard, the fa-
yorlte Vermont General and its ranking of
ficer, was unanimously chosen as the Com
mander of the forces at that time. Ger
eral good feeling prevailed on every hand
and all the old veterans felt that it was

TUE CHOLERA IN GALLIcIA,-Notwith-
standing the many denials of tho alarming
prevalence of Asiatic cholera in vieann
this summer, the officials reports of the
progress of the disease from May 10 to
July in the Austrian provinces show that
the late reports are likely to be true. The
Allgemeine Zeituag has collated these re-
cords, and finds that from the l5tn of May
to the 9th of July there were within the
district represented by Gallicia 5l,577 cases
of cholera, out of which 1907 terminated
fatally. From the LIST to the 9Th of July
there were III eases, out OF which 3S2
were fatal.

The Atlanta Constitution says A Young
gentlemen of Macon, who is not in the
musical way himself, but considers that he
is a good judge of such matters, concluded
to sercnade his sweetheart the other night
In pursuance of this praisewcrthy design
he hired a Juvenile African and harmonicon
for ten cents, and betook himself and his
colored assistant to his angels house.
During the ensuing halfhour the midnight
zephyrs pore into the adjacent windows a
a beautiful supply of the most intensely
doleful music that ever tortured the human
ear. At length the second story window
opened. The young gentleman struck a
pcnsvc attitude, and waited for his sweet
/ heart to return her thanks. She did return
her thanks. They were pretty warm, and
nigh on to two gallons in quantity. Their
advent was followed by a confused sound
as of footsteps retiring with unwontcd rap
idity, peculiar odor as if somebody had
boiled bigger in that neighborhood, and
all was still The young gentleman did
not come to business next day. He spent
the time in Il tub filled with sweet oil and
ice, and sent word that he had been struck
by lightning.

We find in the Waterman an abstract of
the annual report of State Treasurer Page,
for the fiscal year ending August /. From
a comparison of this report with that of the
preceding year, we learn that during the
year the funded debt of the State has been
reduced $50, 500. The report also discloses
the gratifying ract that there is cash and
unsolicited taxes enough in the Treasury at
the present time to wipe out our State debt
(Sl95, G49), together with the current liza
blities of the State $3.50, 1881 ,33), and leave
a balance on hand of $40, 1860. As this
sum is inadequate to meet the current State
expenses until the tax of next year becomes
available, it will be, of course, impossible
to extinguish the debt this year. But with
one, or at most, two more years of taxation
at the present rate, the State will have the
funds in hand for the total extinction of the
debt, when, we trust, we may look for II
long era of light taxation.
The following are the main figures of the
report:

INSANITY IN CmcAGo. Since the great
fire in Chicago there have been adjudged
insane in the county and circuit courts of
Cook county between two and three hun
bred persons. Only eleven of these are at
tributed directly to the great fire, but the
following remark of the 7'ri6une indicates
a probability that the number should be
considerably enlarged 1t says 1t will
be seen that among the causes of insanity
enumerated not less than ninety eight were
recorded as unknown" against but ninety
two "known." In all of the cases tried,
six good men and true, carefully impan-
elled, sat in the jury box, among them a
respectable physician, as required by law.
Yet there are now ninety-eight residents of
Cook county who are dragging out their
ptiable existence behind the secure bars
and locks of the lunatic asylums of jack
sonyille, Elgin and jefferson, and nobody
can give reason.

New YoRK's ANNEXATION SumEME.-It
is proposed to consolidate under one char
ter and Municipal Government all of Kings
county. This would include Brooklyn,
New Lots, Flatbush, New Utrecht, Flat
lands and Grayesend. The city of Brook
lyn as thus constituted would have an ag-
CRATE population Of 419, 92e, or nearly half
that of the county of New York. This pro-
posed scheme, however, is designed to be
only preliminary to the larger one of an
nexing the consolidated city to New York.
1t is too early to hazard any prophecy as to
the possible result of the agitation of plans
for consolidation and annexation, but so
vast scheme as this, which contemplates
the aggregation of nearly 1900, 900 people
under the city government is sure to be
thoroughly agitated and discussed.

July Ellis challenged McNIahon to wrcstle
him Devonshire and Cornwall style for
SlOO McMahon accepted the challenge,
but refused to wrestle less than $3.50 a side.
The hackers of Ellis, who came with him
from England, were little timid at first,
because Mcmahon is a more powerful man
than the English champion, but on being
informed that McMahon had never wres-
tied this English style, and that he never
had seen contest at that style of wrestling,
they at once consented to make the match.
Articles were drawn up and signed on the
Goth ult., and Harry Hill of New York was
chosen final stakeholder. The making of
this match created quite breeze among
the sports in New York, as no Jona fde
match at this style of wrestling ever took
place in New York before. The betting
has been in favor of Ellis for the past few
days, but Wednesday there was sudden

Warm Stables vs.. Blankets.

The health of horse, like that of a man de-
ponds very much upon a natural system of life.
Artificial systems require double the care, and
however sleek the horse may look under heavy
coating of blankets and an occasion medical
"dope," his capacity for endurance is much
less than that of a horse, which, however rough
he may look, has nerves and endurance built
only upon regular, natural food and exposed to
the varied changes of the atmosphere. IL may
be all very well for the fancy to clip the hair
all off from the horse and then cover him with
clothing in order TO have his coat look fine and
smooth, but il will not do for the horse of all
work. Nature has provided a covering, and
where use is designed the horse needs only
that, with good grooming and a warm stable;
or If blanket is ever used, let it be done when
ever the horse is left standing out of doors in
harness. Make the stable as warm As dirt
floor or bettened boarding will permit; give
plenty of bedding; and with abundance of food
the horse is better able To stand labor and expo
sure than il kept on a board floor where cold
air Girculates underneath and covered with
blankets. Our experience is in favor Of dirt
floors without blankets. Dirt floors wel-iit
tered are no more trouble to keep neat and
clean than board floors, and no stable witt a
dirt floor and decently boarded up will ever be
cold enough to cause horse to shiyer.-Enyi-

The rage for suicide in Paris is decreasing
and nearly all the gay and happy residents OF
that Frenchy capital are now content to shuttle
off their mortal coil in a natural way. The last
days report from there shows only two self
murders for that day. In 1859 the mania was
at its heg ht, and as many as fourteen persons
committed suicide in one day in that year
That was the maximum Now it rarely goes
above three or four. 1t is curious fact that
since the journals ceased to give the names OF
the suicides, and to recount their tragic history
in dramatic terms, suicide has been gradually
declining in reputation. Query: How would
such treatment affect other classes of criminals:
murderers for instance? Is it not possible that
a desire to secure n0t0riety is too often the
handspring OF crime-something of that feeling
which inspired the ''daring youth" to fire the
Ephesian Dome, and who in consequence out
lives in song the "piOus foOl' who reared it.?
The experience in Paris seems to answer the
question and II may well be believed that II the
newspapers would utterly ignore criminals and
cease to make heroes of them, there would be
great deal less Of crime in the world. Such a
"good time coming" however, will scarcely
arrive until sensational journalism is dead,

ArtichOko Manfas .

The Germantown Telegraph says: We have
from time to time drawn attention to the yari-
Gus schemes which now and then come up for
bringing in pile of dimes to some genius by
virtue Of run on Jerusalem ArtichOke. 1t is
first Landed for this good point and then the
other, that one wonders what more can be said
OF 1t. Now IL is to supersede the potato, now it
is even better for man than wheat food. One
connection with it, another declares it is good
for iirewood. We have not heard OF any prOpo-
sition to pay OF the national debt with It; but
we should not be surprised to hear that Secre-
tary Richardson was seen looking at a field full
and that some proposition in connection with ITS
universal growth will soon be made. The arti-
Gle now before us has stopped short of this, and
simply goes to show the incalculable virtues of
the Jerusalem Artichoke as a forage plant, The
writer wants every farmer to s'try few acres"
He cuts the stalks before the leaves are quite
ripe, just as we do Indian corn, and stacks them
after they have been dried in shocks, much as
the Indian corn fodder is done. The roots are
to be used afterwards as pig feed, and thus
double profit is made.

A FEMALE LOTHARI0.
A Toledo woman Accommodates Four
AuSbandS.

One of the most remarkable matrimonial ad-
ventnI esses that ever travelled in this country
the 18th ult., in the person of one Mrs. Hollis
ter. alids Mrs. Doran, aims Mrs. Ward, alias
Mrs. Pa menter. 1t appears that she was born
aud Taissd in Seneca county, this State, her
was quite young lady, and she married q Mr..
HOLSTER in that county. She claims that Mr..
Holl ster treated her very badly. She had two
children by him, according to her story and
Just . bout the time the second one was born he
ran away from her, and fed with a "handsom-
er woman" She then struggled along for
awhile, and finally went to DeKalb county,
Indians, to try her luck among the "Hoosier;."
After a while, ii appears from the statement of
the man himself, she fascinated and married q
Mr.. DOran. She lived with him a short time
bu yesrning for something new, and ever ready
to iDoulge In her fsvorite psstime of adventure
she left MIR. Doran and made flying visit to
this city. MIR. ID. followed her some time after,
and on arriving here, discovered that his wife
was also the wife of Mr.. Ward, and that the
ceremony had been lawfully performed at a

turb the serenity of her newly-found affinity.
and left her alone in her glory: She lived with
Mr.. Ward for a few weeks, and, finally, tired of
him, she took a tramp to the lumber sections of
Michigan. 1t was only few months ago that
she met Mr.. Parmenter at Saginaw, and by
turing bis heart. That gentleman married her,
and a short while before these facts became
known, moved to this city, 1--WE believe just
seven weeks ago. The three husbands all live,
il Is said in a stones throw of each other, and
ii is quite strange that they should have re-
NAMED so close together for that length of time
without raising "rumpus." The woman
claims that she does not know Messrs. Doran or
Ward, and that Mr.. Parmenter is her second
and 'lawful' husband. She was arrested on
complaint of Mr.. Doran yesterday morning by
Detective Burbanks. This morning at two
O'Clock she was in a cell at the station, claiming
to be in a very delicate condition, and appar-
emily suffering some pain.-Tolei Comm rciGl.

Howard HOppin, son OF the late DIR. Wash
ington HOppin, and pupil in st PauPs
School," Concord \. H., while out skating,
last Saturday, with several companions, was
the means OF saving two boys from drowning.
1t seems that a couple of country lads first
broke through the ice, when all the st. Pauls'
boys rushed to their assistance. One of these,
young Perkins, stumbled and fell through, and
was so chilled and weary that he had scarcely
strength enough to cling to the edge of the ice.
Hoppins crawled to Perkins on his stomach,
in two or three inches of water, which was
pouring through the cracks, and pulled him
out by the aid of a cane which he extended to
him. The rest of his companions were mean
while doing all in their power to help the two
country lads, by throwing logs to them, &c,
but not in time to prevent the larger boy from
losing his hold and sinking forever. The other
was little fellow, and was so chilled and
frightened that he was gradually slipping from
the log Ehich had been thrown to him, when
Hoppin ran for a long board, and, lying fiat on
the ice. which was cracking on all sides of him,
pushed ont with his skates until he got the
board within reach, then going slowly back
ward. gradually drew the boy out. Our young

LARD AS AN UNGENT.-It is well known that
rubbing the body with hogs fat has the effect
OF reducing the temperature of the skin in
scarlet fever. A gentleman of our acquaint-
ance has used the fat portion OF smoked ham
to disseminate the fact for others benefit.
celebrated German physician recommends to
incorporate one or two grammes of carbolic
acid into one hundred grammee of lard, and
with this TO rub the whole of the body, except
ing the head, two or three times q day, accord
ing to the intensity of inflamm alton char scter-
izing the case in hand. The effect of this kind
Of treatment is to produce pleasant feeling of
GOODNESS to keep the skin softer, and after each
application the temperature of the skin falls
somewhat. The carbolic acid operates to de-
stroy the germs and spores of the disease.
