THE PRESIDENTS LAST ACTS.
II is asserted that on Monday afternoon last Mr.
Mills obtained full settlement Of his land agent
and deposited check which he received from the
latter In the Nassau Bank to his wifes credit
After this transaction he settled the accounts OF
his butcher and baker, which were usually paid at
the end OF each month. II the well authenticated
rumors circulated last evening are to be accredited
Mr.. Mills conduct at Coney Island during the last
night of his lie gives material support to the
suicide theory 1t is stated that he did not
retire mis- bedroom until very late hour, and the
next morning it was found that his bed had not
been slept In. At the time OF his death these facts
were studiously concealed but yesterday those In
possession OF them concluded that further secrecy
was useless.
The expression of opinion was, last evening, very
general and condemnatory OF the action OF the
Secretary. M r. Rodman, who, though he now ad-
mits having been aware OF the fact that the Presi
dent mad oyerdrawn his account, still continued to
sign his (MilsD checks.

The Rev. DIR. John Cumming, of
Massachusetts, famous for his writ

dictions as to the destruction of the
earth, has been turning to account
the respective visits to England, of
the Sultan of Turkey, the Khedive
of Egypt, and the Shah of Persia. In
a sermon preached in Liverpool, DR..
Cumming taking for a text the words,
"That the way of the kings of the
East might be prepared'-which are
fragment of Revelations, 10Th chap
ter, 18th Verse-asserted that the
said words refer to these three East
ern rulers, and expressed the opin-
ion that the ten lost tribes of Israel
are now in the couD8ries of those
monarchs, whose jousneyings
through Europe foreshadow the re-
lease of the captiycs. The twelve
tribes will unite and be gathered
together at Armageddon. After
this 'the fullness of time" may be
expected.

person of a young man who was

a gay life in your principal cities. lie
is just now in the courts on n charge
of cruelty to his wife, who demands
a separation. The defense of the
"noble baronet" is that while in
America he contracted at the drink
ing bars the habit of drinking to
excess, and candidly admits that
while in his cups he has knocked his
wife about, but coolly pleads that
she was only q bar-maid in ScarbOr-
ough when he married her, less than
two years ago, and not being a per-
son of refinement, but all her life ac-
customed to rough manners, she is
not entitled to that consideration
which would otherwise be her due"

cho1era and Cholera Morbus.


A writer in the New York World
goes at considerable length into the
distinctions which discriminate Asi-
attic cholera from cholera morbus.
We cannot quote the entire article,
but will note that the writer claims
that although in some rare instances
the access of malignant (Asiatic)
cholera may be sudden, vet in at
least ninety five per cent of cases
occurring in temperate climates the
attack is preceded by a painless
diarrhea. Out of more than 5000
recorded cases this premonitory
symptom is noted in all but 25I, and
in most of the apparent excep-
tions it is only said that its "ex-
istence was not ascertained." In
cholera morbus, on the contrary, the
seizure is always sudden, commonly
traceable to its exciting cause in
some error Of diet; vomiting and
purging set in simultaneously and
violently, accompanied by severe
colicky pains, and the ejecred mat
ters are strongly bilious, causing an
acute sensation of burning or smart
ing. This excess OF bile exists in
the non-malignant disorder, while
one of the earliest phenomena of
epidemic cholera is total arrest of
the function of the liver, the dis
charges being absolutely devoid OF
bile.

her mother was of the Chippewa
