from Bellaire last year to meet at the

decision of the Institute, and, of course,
was to be respected by the committee

After the committee had commenced
their labor the fact was revealed that
the institute had "iavited itself' to
Barnesville! This objectionable blum.

The Cholera on the Increase

The Cholera on the Increase.
z MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 13, 1878.
DEAR CHRONICLE: i..slyo9
had hoped this week would find
our city freed, in manner at least,
from the fell destroyer death in the
guise of Cholera, but to-day finds it as
busted as atany other time since first
appearance, and with as little prospect
of cessation. When it will end its la
bors no one can indicate. The author
tiles vince no desire to act and we can
only look to other sources for relief
The last resource of leaving the city
for other localities is taken by many,
and general exodus may soon occur
as the general feeling is that no one is
safe here and that in the general ne
glect of sanitary precautions, by those
who have the power to enforce them,
an epidemic must yet ensue and the
only safety consists in leaving the pol
luted and afflicted locality. Hundreds
have died, few surviving the attack in
its severe form more than twelve hours.
Last night I walked down street with
a gentleman, as fine a specimen Of
health and strength as can be found
anywhere in a similar six feet two inch
physique, and remarked jokingly that
L was glad to see Cholera had not YET
killed him to which he replied that he
had no fears. of the disease. But in less
than four hOars he was attacked and
in nine hours more was reported dy.

era. No one feels safe here for it now

and condition. and unless relief soon
comes, epidemic cholera of most terri
BILE form must develop and sweep our
city as fearfully as ever in the past
Men and women have worked until
evening at their respective labors in
fullest enjoyment, apparently, ofhealth
and yet die of cholera before next sun,
rise. Whole families have died-par.
ents and children suffering alike-and
no one can escape the conclusion that
if cholera is not as yet epidemic here,
it is SO near it, that utmost precautions
are requisite to avert. The utmost ex.
element followed the appearance Of
the disease at Nashville, and it seems
to have appeared in many places thro'.
out the South. ] can but again express
the hope that your locality may be
spared and that yours and neighborine
towns will not hesitate TO take and en-.
force all possible sanitary precautions
against the appea. ance of the disease
This is my first experience with chol.

is not pleasant, / assure you, 10 be in a
community where undertakers and
grave-diggers, do the only business
done, and where the evenings Joke
with a friend is supplemented next
morning by news of his death and that
of scores of others. We had .many
sceptics here at first. But to-day the
undertaker's alone insist we have nc
cholera. The reason therefor we, un.
charitably may presume is fear of q

Under the wintry skies,
All pallid and still as the moon.
The cold earth sumbering lies,
Close wound in her white cocoon.
In her shrouded and dreamless rest,
She waits the coming of spring:
And the soul of song in my breast
Is dulnb,-I cannot sing.
But soon, at the touch, at the glance.
That thrills the bound spirit beneath,
She will wake, she will rouse from her trance
She will burst from her chrysalis sheath,
All palpitating in sheen
or cleaning rimple and fold
Fresh-robed in sapphire and green,
Full-winged with purple and gold
When the world, reawakened from death,
Is wavering, thrObbing in light,
And painting with perfumed breath
In a heaven of sound and of sight,

Awake in the glory of wings,
