LATE dispatches from the other side of
the Atlantic indicate that the cholera cpl
demic is gradually spreading over the Eu-
ropean continent. 1t is reported to have
made its appearance simultaneously in East
ern Prussia and Italy. 1t makes it appear
ance in this country in the telluric belt in
which il disappeared on its previous vista
ton, and is now marching in a course
directly the opposite of what it then took !;
in other words, it is marching from the
South to the North, and apparently gather
ing in intensity as it proceeds. In this
respect too, it deyiates from the law
that governed it on its former, as ON its
first appearance. 1t struck Memphis
more fatally than New Orleans, and NASH
vile still more severely than Memphis.
Whether it will continue to observe this
law in its further march northward, re-
mains TO be seen. In the mean time, it be-
hooves the people of Richmond to be ready
for its approach, and to carry out the sug-
gestions Of DIR. Cabell. of the Board of
Health, in regard to their own private
grounds and residences in the city and its
surroundings. This is the way to arm
against the pestilence.

The anti-lree-pass movement, begun by
some western railroads, has already come
to an end. The directors of the western
lines find that the managers of the eastern
lines will not come into the arrangement al
all, so that the reform at best could be
only partial. Besides, the western direc'
tors recognize that they have more to lose
by the abolition of the dead-head system
than the eastern men, since they make
more frequent trips to the east than do
eastern men to the west.
But this is not the only phase Of the
matter. 1t is customary for the larger
metropolitan journals of the country to
denounce the editors Of journals accepting
editorial passes as i" dead-heads," "chron-
ic dead-heads," dead-beats," etc., while
they can well afford to reject their profound
courtesies. And yet there is scarcely a
local journal in the whole country which
does not annually pay out twice the money
in composition for matter relating to the
railroads on whlchit would be likely to OBJ
tain passes, than it gets in return for I'M
paid or free courtesies of this sort. 1t is
true they give their news matter for the
information of their readers but it is also
given for the benefit of the roads. There
is not railroad in the United States that
does not depend on the newspapers to give,
broadcast among the people, all the in
formation they desire to have reach them,
even to the slightest changes in their
railroad management. We have never
accepted a pass from railroad, in this
or any other state, that we did not feel
we had paid for it twice over, and that
instead Of our "dead-heading" on them,
they were constantly "dead-headng" on
us.
And SO with the repeal of the laws per-
hitting the free transmission by mail OF
newspaper exchanges. The leading metro
politan journals went stoatly in for it as
the means of crushing out local journalism.
The greatest dead-heads" in the world
if not the meanest, are the leading metro
politan journals Of New York and some of
the other larger cities Of the United States,
which have complete monopoly Of the
telegraph and foreign news, and " dead
head" in checks on the provincial press of
the country to pay the entire expense of
their monopoly. And this they do by
vouchsafing the provincial press about one
tenth only of the news which they actually
pay for.

The vexed question of skilled domestic
service is discussed by DR.. Holland in a
recent article on the subject. lie suggests
two means of remedying existing evils:
One is, to have bureau of registry in
every city, in which no names shall be en-
tered except those of men and women who
have established by competent testimony
their entire fitness for whatever depart
ment Of domestic service they may be en-
gagged in. Every good servant would thus
be enrolled, and bad ones could not then
trade on characters " which do not be-
long to them. Another suggestion is, that
wealthy and philanthropic men should
found schools Of domestic service in all
populous cities, where men and women can
be taught.

A YEAR ago the Legislature of Connec-

the last year, in consequence of the gene
raj stringency of the money market, the
rate of interest has risen in Connecticut,

The people of Connecticut begin accord

SOME housing Democrat, lately found
out that Secretary Robson was rich.
Therefore argued the Democratic newspa-
pers, he must have got rich by stealing
money from the National Treasury. But
it having been shown that he was rich be-
fore he was appointed Secretary of the
Navy, so much the worse, argue the same
papers, because in that event, he must have
bought his place in the Navy Department.
The trouble with these Democratic editors
is that they aoiH measure other peoples

IT is estimated on the basis of the latest
published reports that the number Of miles
of railroad in operation in the United
States is 6S,000; that the cost of the same
on liberal calculation of $50, 900 per mile,
was 50, 400. 100000; that the gross earn
ings last year were s56s, I'll ,25O; and that
the gross value Of the tonnage exceeded
5000, 100000. These means Of trans
portation are the growth of forty-two
years, for in 1880 the first railroad track
was laid, and that year the mileage was
confined to the Bait more and Ohio road
on which twenty-three miles of track was
laid, and even this line was operated by
horse power for two years.
