HEALTH OF JERSEY CITY.

Cholera Morbus the Only Cause Of
Alnrm-A Health Inspector Wanted.
The people of Jersey City have not quite so much
cause for alarm as some sensation-lovng journals
set fortn. The statement that cholera has visited
that city would be serious one II 1t were only
true. 1t is fact that Dr. King died, but not
OF cholera, inasmuch as the doctors diYer
about the case. DR.. Hadden, an eminent
physician, who FIRST attended him, believes
that death resulted rom disease OF the heart.
King suffered for short time with cholera morbus,
occasioned by the use OF indigestible food. large
number OF cases OF cholera morbus were dtscov-
cred on Saturday and Sunday. In iact no section
OF the city was free from 1t. There are even now
many cases OF cholera infantum. This, however,
does not palliate the conduct OF man named Can
non, who acts as health inspector py
the authority of the Police commissioners.
When he was satisfied OF the death OF
DIR. King by DR.. Hasbrouck, he put tne notice IN
his pocket leaving the people at the mercy OF the
dire pestilence II Il should come. The HERALD has
frequently pointed out the necessity OF having
health Inspector appointed, but the Police Com
missioners disregard all warnings. Dr. LOchner,
who is perhaps, the most active OF the physicians
appointed by the city, sent In most valuable CON-
munication 70 the Police Board on Monday night

the city be- attended to The people wiz have no

OF an alconolic nature, we returned to the upper
deck, and found that good deal had
taken place In our absence. The various

Jersey City. AS the last wedge was knocked from
under the keel the yacht glided gracefully and
smoothly from her ways, taking to her native ele-
ment amid the cheers both of those on board and
the spectators assembled on the shore. The Cor.

on this as the previous occasion OF my
meeting him was travelling in company with an
enormous gold vessel, In shape and design like
coffee pot. II was filled with water, which. he ex
planned to me. 1t was his duty to pour over the
hands OF the Shah after His Majesty, who recog-
nizes the truth OF the old adage that "lngers were
made before forks" has been leeding himself with
gutinous meats. To ''see fierce beasts" meant,
OF course, visit to the Geological Gar
dens, and my friend informed me the
Shah was coming there later on, and urged
the policy OF my remaining with the suite. This,
however, l could not do. My bed was engaged at
Portsmouth that night, as had to be up betmes
the next morning to Join the ship, for which had
an order from the Admiralty; so bid my friend
farewell at the Geological Garden gate, and left
him to see the "ferce beasts" by himself
The evening train by which we proceeded TO
Portsmouth was very long and very slow one,
but the tedium OF the journey was begulled by
various anecdotes relating to the Shah which
we're told by my companions in the smoking car
riage some OF whom were members OF the dplo-
matte and ofllcial world, evidently well up In the
rumors and can-can Of society You recollect the
story of the midshipman who, being called upon
to report on the manners and customs OF
some people whom he had visited, remarked that
s.as for manners they had none, and their customs
were beasty." To judge from my travelling CON-
pan0ns' talk the habits OF the Persian nation are
something like those OF the midshipman's friends.
Strange stories were told Of
RUINED CARPETS, DErILED CURTAINS,
and an accumulation OF nlth and horror OF every
description In the rooms occupied by the Easterns
pt Berlin, while It was confidently stated that the
GOODNESS shown by the German Emperor to his
Oriental guest, which permitted the Shah to pass
mis- last few days alone, and actually to leave
Berlin without the presence Of any OF the Imperial
family, arose from the fact that al dinner at Char
Gutenberg the Shah, dsapproving of something
be was eating actually spat out the contents OF
his mouth upon the skirts Of his imperial hostess.

The Remedies Speak.

Concerning the title of Base Ball Cham
pions of Kennebec county, the record clearly
shows that such claim on the part of the
Amateur club is entirely unfounded; for the
Remedies have during the season played
twelve championship games, and have been
successful in ten of them, losing but two dur
ing the season, besides winning some very
good games with strong picked mines.
The two games lest were both to the ANA.
teur club, as also the two games lost by the
Amateur club were won by the Kennebecs !;
that the Kennebec club is at present the
strongest team in this section of the State
is acknowledged by all, and the champion
ship can no more be claimed by the Amateur
club than it can by the Ionic club of Gardi-
ner. The following is the record of the
Kennebec club during the season of 1873.
