Cholera at Wallace,s Cross Roads.

EDITORS CHRONICLE 1t is my sad duty
TO chronicle the death of Col. VIM. Wal

this place, on yesterday evening. That
dread affliction, cholera, now visiting and

first and only real case of the disease that
has been in the community. There is con.
siderable local excitement and it is feared

only ten hours. His demise leaves void
that cannot be easily filed. He has long
been prominent member of the county

known throughout the State.

HOME CIRCLE.
THE LAST SUPPER.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

"And when they had sung a hymn they we
out into the Mount of Olives
What song sang the twelve with the Savior
When finished the Sacrament wine?
Were they bowed and subdued in behavior,
Or bold as made bold with a sign?
Were the hairy breasts strong and defiant
Were the naked arms brswny and strong?
Were the bearded lips lifted reliant,
Thrust forth and full sturdy with song!
What sang they? What sweet song of Zion,
With Christ In their midst like crown?
While here sat Saint Peter the lion,
And there like a lamb, with head down,
Sat Saint John, with his silken and raven
Rich hair on his shoulders, and eyes
Lifting up to the faces unshaven
Like sensitive child's in surprise
Was the song as strong fishermen swinging
Their nets full of hope TO the sea?
Or low, like the rippe-wave, singing
Sea songs on their loved Galilee2
Were they sad with foreshadow of sorrows,
Like the birds that sing low when the breeze
Is tip>toe with a tale of to-morrows-
Ofearthquakes and singing of seas ?
Ali soft was their song as the waves are
That fall in low musical means;
And sad l should say as the winds are
That blow by the white gravestones.

PERSONAL CARDS.
1--WE print this morning cards from
Gov. Brown, Col. Burch, aud Capt. Hobbs,
which fully explain themselves. They put
a quietus upon the little sensation which
the organ of the post office attempted TO
get up. So far as the Union and AMERICAN
is concerned, we have only to say that it
did not publish line aboutsthe liquor bill
from the time it left, the General Assembly
until it was vetoed, and never received any
compensation for any service in urging the
passage or defeat of that or any other bill"
In this card, the editor says he did not
publish line about the liquor bill from
the time it left the General Assembly unit!
it was vetoed" Now TO the facts of the
case. The Tipping bill passed the General
Assembly, March 18th, and only required
the signature Of the Governor 20 become a
! law.
In its issue Of March Goth, the Union
I and american had an editorial Of about
! one.third Of column, attacking the bill
as unconstitutional. March 2lst, IL con
tanned another editorial against the constl-
J tutiOnality Of the bill, in which il cited

The past week has SHOWN some decline in the
wholesale drug trade, merchants generally
preparing to lay in their fall stock. The cholera
reports through the country, have had an effect
in keeping trade away from the city. ...
Prices remain as quoted last week. We no.
tice an advance in Linseed Oil, by the manufac-
turers, but the market here is firm without

e. Roads and Road Making.

There are but few duties performed
by town or municipal authorities which
are more important than making and
keeping in repair the common high
ways. 1t is duty, we are sorry to say,
sadly neglected in many sections of the
country; and in some localities the mat
ter of road making is regarded as of no
Importance whatever, and the working
out of highway taxes, by the residents
of the towns or districts, is simply o
farce and fraud. Every good citizen
should feel an interest in good roads,
as they contribute immensely to the
comfort of travelling, and save much in
the wear and tear of carriages. 1t is
true, we must not expect in the rural
districts the well-cared-for, solid roads
Of suburban towns around cities but
there is no excuse for the rocky,
neglected paths which are often found,
and over which it is positively danger
GUS to travel. If towns would attend
to one point connected with their high
ways, that is, carefully remove, once in
two weeks, during the summer, every
stone which is brought to the surface
by rains or drought, it would render
even bad roads very comfortable. These
loose stones are not only cause of
great discomfort to travellers, but also
of intense anxiety. They put in peril
life and limb, as horses are very liable
to stumble in passing over them, and
carriages are often broken. Try an ex-
pertinent Ride over neglected road in
the country..of mile in extent, if you
have the courage; then stop at farm
house and give the farmer couple of
dollars to pick out the stones ride
back over the pathway again, and no.
tice how great is the change. Upon
your return you can trot briskly along,
with a sense of comfort and security :;
whereas, in passing over it previous to
the removal of the loose stones, you
proceeded slowly and in misery.
This illustrates how cheaply and expe-
ditiously bad roads can be improved.
If every town in those sections where
lands aresfull of small boulders would
provide simply for the removal of them
from the pathway as often as once in
two weeks during warm weather, the
roads would be more comfortable than
if ten times the cost was expended in
dumping on loads of sand, or blowing
up roadside soil and piling it on the
driveway. We hope these hints will
not be lost upon those who have our
common highways in charge. Journal
