UnIntentIonal CannIbalism.

The following anecdote is told of Sir Bartle
Frere when at Zanzibar Sir Barte and his son,
during an expedition "up country" had i'm
prudently wandered from their escort and lost
their way. After some time they perceived a
negros hut, and, tired and hungry, appeared
to claim hospitality. An old negress appeared
at the door and gave them some eggs which
our envoy at once converted into an omeette
suspended from the roof, and fancying them to
be mushrooms, popped them in the pan, utter
ly disregarding the old woman's anxious .emon-
strances. After their meal in came the owner
of the cabin, who, on learning what his visitors
had done, broke into violent rage. "Nisera-
BILE strangers" cried he, ''you have eaten all
my war trophies" and in answer to Sir Bartle's
inquiries informed him that what he had taken
for mushrooms were no less than the ears of his
enemies. whom he had killed in battle. Sir
Bartle Frere was sick of indigestion for four
days afterwards in consequence of his strange
repast

The late Rev. DIR. Guthrie was one of
the ablest and noblest men whom modern
Scotland has produced, and to whom, with
Drs. Chambers, Cunningham and Candish,
the Scottish people are more indebted than
toany other four for the result of that con-
troversy which led to the formation of the
Free Church in 1913. Like all characters
truly great, the good doctor was one of the
simplest and most lovable of men, as one
may infer from these lines written by
him:
live for those that lovem
For those that love me true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And waits my coming too;
Fer the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrongs that needs assistance.
For the future in the distance
For the good that can do.
There are few better sermons than that.
And how nicely summed up in the last
line !

nobility, who has built squire after square

run under the city in nearly a circle. In
many places the company has bought

and houses where you descend to the plat
form and depot.
The cars travel fast and cheap and are
now much used and growing in favor. l

The people do not, it would seem, drink
water. Yet ] saw very little drunkenness,
and much less extreme poverty than you
would suppose, rarely you see a beggar.
The people are generally well dressed, look
contented and happy, afraid to violate the
laws, which are rigidly enforced, they live
along, the son expecting to follow the same
vocation his father did, born in spheres
out of which they never expect to rise.
This it seems to me has stamped its inn
press, not only on their habits and charac-
ter, but upon their countenances They
seem prepared to do we'll what in their
sphere are called to do, but it checks the
energy, dampens the ambition, to feel you
can never rise higher. J.M.T,

simply to make their wishes known, and
lay the ground work for such negotiations,
no definite propositions were made, and

DIR. PETERS ON CHOLERA IN THE SOUTH
Some Of the Causes and Preventiyes of the
Disease.

Some or the Causes and PreVentives of the
Disease.
DR.. j. G.. Peters, of the New York Board
of Health, made recent tour through the
South and made the following reports to q
newspaper reporter:
"Doctor, is there any doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease now raging South and
West?"
"There is no doubt about it, whatever.
1t is Asiatic cholera, without shadow of
error or mistake. In short, scarcely any
disease more virulent and fatal can be con-
ceved.n
"Do you think the better classes are less
likely to be attacked than the poorer per-
sons?O
"In the course of my investigation, I
found thai where the better classes We're
attacked they had been in absolute contact
with the disease, or had it brought into
their houses by the relatives and visitors
of tt cir servants. Where three or four, or
more persons were crowded into q small
room, no matter where, the first case will
almost surely be followed by others. In
large, airy and clearly apartments, and
among cleanly people, the disease is gen.
orally confined to one case"
"What is your opinion of DIR. Bells
theory, that cholerac poison is confined to
the lower portion of dwellings, easements
where there is little or no sunshine, and
does not extend or effect persons in the
upper stories ?'
ut is undoubtedly an error in fact, his
whole theory of cholera being superin-
duced or springing from miasma is nom
sensical. Persons living in the upper parts
of houses are as likely to be attacked as
those on the first floor. Should they par
take Of water impregnated with choleraic
virus, they would be speedily attacked,
and die like flies"
EFFECT OF IMPROPER DIET AND FEAR.
How will improper food effect persons
during cholera season.
Improper diet renders the attack more
fatal, but does not cause cholera. My be-
lief is that cholera is a specific poison, pc
culiar and distinct from all other poi
sons"
" Has fear much to do with increasing
the disease, Doctor?"
Fear of cholera may produce profuse
darrhpa and exhaustion, and may kill
the person who has the virus in his sys-
tenn more quickly, but can not produce
cholera. The idea of fear causing cholera,
as general thing, is purely fallacious. i
found that a wealthy lady of Nashville
was reputed to have died of fright, but
subsequently learned that her servants
had introduced the disease into the house
Isn't lime-water exceedingly inju-
rious ?n
"Oh, yes; lime-water will intensity an
attack of cholera, because the rice-w water
discharges are always alkaline in charac-
ter. Rain-water, cistern-water, or free
stone-water are less injurious, unless con-
taminated with choleraic discharges OF
other organic impurities. The use OF
thoroughly boiled water is the safest water
beverage" ... .. ...ilr
Where are the limestone regions ?"
"In the Ohio Valley, Tennessee, and
Kentucky; in fact, they are too widely
| spread to detail"

WAR AGAINST TOM SCOTT.
Preparing for Another Fight In New
Jersey-Old Monmouth Speaks.

Preparing for Another Fight I'm New
Jersey-Old Monmouth Speaks.
Every reader OF the HERALD must remember the
unrelenting war waged against Tom Scott and the
Pennsylvania Railroad monopoly during the latest
session OF the New Jersey Legislature. II was on
the floors OF the Assembly and Senate nails at
Trenton that was laid the foundation OF the move
ment now SO well known throughout the West
ern States as the Grangers organization
II was in little Jersey that monopoly sustained its
first and only defeat. The monopoly in turn de-
clared war against the independent representa-
tives of the people. Foremost among the oppo-
nents OF the monopoly in Tue Assembly was George
w. Patterson OF old Monmouth. Then came Joe
Letson, OF Middesex. Both had TO contend
against the moneyed power of the railroads,
but they have been just renomn2ted the former
for Assembly the latter for Senator for Middesex.
Both are democrats. Patterson received
most enthusiastic ovation at Freehold on Friday
night He declared that he contended not against
Tom Scott, but against the monopoly OF which he Is
the head, and he would travel through the entire
state, II necessary, to arouse the people
against so iniaultous power. Old Monmouth
could never forget the bloody footprints lett by
those who delivered New Jersey from despotism,
and he thought Monmouth ought TO be in the
foreground during the light. The scene IN the hall
OF the Convention was one OF wild enthusiasm.
friends OF free railroads throughout the state.
The nomination OF Letson was almost as remark
able, for his opponent, member OF the tribe OF
Levi is outspoken on behalf OF Tom Scott. This
Will therefore be an exciting contest. Letson
declares tnat ne VIII scatter copies ol the Tree lal-
road law IN every village and hamlet throughout
the county, so that the people may know Tor them
selves what are the issues OF the campaign.
In Hoboken, too, the cry is taken up. Last even
ing Major b. +. Hart received the republican homl-
nation tor Assembly, and he declared that he
would be the uncompromsing opponent of every
monopoly, railroad or otherwise. Major Hart mas
been for many years a resident OF Hoboken, anu he
repeatedly declined to accept nomination for any
political position. Now, however, on the monopoly
issue he enters the field.
In Burlington, Senator Trick, Tom Scott's first
lieutenant III the memorable fight, was lald on the
shelf, and The nomination conferred on one notyet
pledged TO monopoly.
In sussex the people also showed their condem-
nation OF monopoly, for Senator Edsall, who came
to the rescue OF Tom Scott at a critical moment,
was refused denomination. Hudson county, with
the exception OF Hoboken, has yet TO speak, and
then the fight will become general.
