Cholera which had dwelt

Cholera, which had dwelt for centu-
ries in the regions of the Gauges, broke
out in Calcutta as an epidemic nearly
sixty years ago. In 1926 it slew 10000
persons in Bombay. A year later it had
followed the rivers and roads into Per-
STA, Arabia and Asia Minor. A little
more than forty years ago it was travels
ing over Europe. 1t first appeared this
sids OF the Atlantic in 1882, at Quebec.
Two days later it appeared in Montreal.
In a fortnight it broke out in New
York and visited most of the country.
But it has not been an epidemic in this
country for forty years, the instances
that have occurred being exceptional.

THE Nashville papers acknowledge
twenty cases of cholera last Monday,
forty-four on Tuesday, and thirty on
Wednesday. Ten thousand persons
have left the city. Quite panic was
created at Knoxville, bat the Chronicle
of the 18th denies emphatically that
cholera has yet made its appearances
there. The appeal says the disease has
almost left Memphis. A telegram from
there, however, says eleven persons
died in that city ofcholera last Wednes-
day. A number of persons have died of
the prevailing disease, called cholera, in
the Middle Tennessee towns of Gallatin,
Huntsville, Lebanon. and Murfreeshoro.

SCALPING By MACHINERY.

One of the most curious things in the
world is the alacrity with which subjects
are constantly offering themselves for the
calculation of novel theories or momen-
tous discoveries in medical science. No
sooner has one physician advanced the
cause by performing some difficult and
unheard-of operation, than the patient of
his rival hastens to break an arm or a leg,
or get himself shot or stabbed in some in
geniously complicated manner, apparent
ly for no other purpose than to afford OPP
portunity for another operation still more
difficult and infinitely more unheard of
than the first. For example. a 'longshore-
man is good enough to live for number
of days with an incision in his medulla
oblongatG. The doctors have scarcely
done congratulating one another on this
beautiful novelty, when news comes of a
still more exasperately illogical person in
the West, who is so uninstructed as to
live after having his neck broken. There
appear to be some men who never know
when they are dead.
But the most curious instance of the sor
of rivalry we speak of is furnished by two
young women of San Francisco and Osh'
kosh, Wis, respectively, who have been
indulging in the cheap and original amuse-
ment Of being scalped by machinery. The
San Francisco young woman who appears
to have invented this new pleasure, met
the ill-luck which usually attends first
trial OF anything, from new spectacle to
wealthy murderer. From some fault of
adjustment, she succeeded in scalpino
herself only in sections, so that when the
doctors came to reft her they could not
findenough ofthe original supply to swea,
by. Here was a chance for scientific in
genuity which they failed not to take ad
vantage of. They determined to provid
this blithe young person with an entirel
new scalp, and for that purpose organizes
a charity which we may venture to say
new to the annals of philanthropy. The
made touching appeal to the benevolen
to contribute small portions of their epi
dermis to this worthy object, and met a
once with gratifying success. Subscrip
tions to the scalp fund flowed in rapid
and every morning, we are told, the sub
scribers meet at the hospital, where
piece of skin about the size of a silve
dime, California measure,) is removed
from the fore arm of each, and deity
planted on the head of the scalped one.
Now this device deserves all the praise
that can be accorded to ingenuity and nov
city. Yet it has its obvious disadvanta-
ges. In the first place, the patient, we
presume, must be content to remain bald
headed, privation not to be patiently en-
dured by any right woman. There

To the Editor of the Journal:
This is the last town in Maine, situate on
the southeastern shore of Lake Umbagog. At
the top of hill, about two miles from here,
is the east line of New Hampshire, and of the
township of Cambridge. This is Cambridge
without any university, and with no halls of
science or learned lore to boast Of All its
possibilities in this direction are in the un
known future. Umbagog Lake lies sprawling
around, surrounded hereabouts with swamps
and lowlands, and with bays, points, and in.
lets somewhat resembling the claws of a lob
ster. A hundred years from now, when its
may develop wonderful beauty in its sur
roundings. At present, we see mostly rough
wilderness on its borders, with background
of mountains. 1t lies chiefly in Maine, but a
New Hampshire. A steamboat of small size
runs twice week from this point to Enrol
Dam in New Hampshire, and to the Megallo-
way settlement and river, near the northwest
shore of the lake. Umbagog is the southern
most and western most of the chain Of lakes
which, commencing near the Sandy river
ponds, and tending in the opposite direction
constitute the head waters of the Androscog-
gin river

from Andover, and proceeded up Frye's brook.
