Cholera in Anderson County.

Our correspondent Polk, under date of
the 18th, writes from Wallace's Y Roads
as follows:
1t is my melancholy duty to say that the
cholera is still in our midst. A Mr.. Thos.
Huff, who lived about one mile below here
died this morning, after a short attack.
He was man of regular, steady habits
and leaves a family. Besides this, there
are several cases of mild type; in fact, it
appears to have assumed somewhat of an
epidemic character. \ son of the late Mr..
Wallace is now supposed to be under it's
influence, but has not reached dangerous
stage.
DR.. Williams, our resident physician, is
constant in his attendance, and has rem
dered valuable assistance when called in
before the case has reached an aggravated
state. He is now kept busy.
/ must make mention of Mr.. Clanton's
invaluable services. He was with Colonel
Wallace, together with Mr.. Henry Clear
and others, and has also responded to sew
eral calls of like character, helped to wait
upon them and helped to inter all the three
cases that have died, without any pc
cuniary promise of reward. He has the
gratitude of the entire community.
There is no especial theory to account
for the appearance of the cholera here.
None of its victims have had any chance
to contract it by actual contact with the
disease. At this writing, none of the cases
are considered of necessarily dangerous
character.

/ was absorbed in my own employment
she must have something to do?
For several minutes stood bending over
her. Then going to the drawer in which
her wax doll was laid, unlocked 1t, and
taking out the beautiful effigy, placed it on
the pillow beside her. How sweet the two
faces looked-the living and the inani-
mate gazed at them until my eres were
blinded by tears; and then went back to
the sitting-room, where | made another
effort to resume my work. My hand had
grown little steadier but the heart was
gone. For a very short time | endeavor-
ed to force myself to keep on with my APP
pointed task but mind and body both dis
scented SO strongly that the garments l had
hoped to complete were finally laid aside,
not to be touched again until tomorrow.
As l was doing this, sigh for my lost
day passed sadly from my lips. At this
moment l heard Hetty's feet and voice !;
she had awakened, and finding Dolly by
her side, had forgotten all the past, and
was as happy as q child could be.
Dear, dear, sweet Dollyn' she was sing
ing as blithely as if grief had never laid a
finger upon her heart.
"Oh, mammal she exclaimed, as she
entered the sitting-room, "you are so good
to give me Dolly to play with, and she
came dancing to me with her dewy lips
put up to mine for kiss.
There was no rebuke upon those precious
lips-Oh, no. That kiss was loves own
best expression and yet it stung me with
remorse.
Hetty's trial was over, her grief forgot
ten. But on my bosom was laid the bur
den of regret, and could not throw it off.
Her state of disturbance had passed like
the morning cloud and the early dew !;
but mine kept pu.sing on and shadowing
the hours that might have passed in cheer
full work.
1 counted that day lost, except for the
lesson it taught me; for when l laid my
aching head upon its pillow at night, l
could not look back upon any useful thing
accomplished. There had been fruitless eff
forts to do many things but my restless
state kept me fitting and changing, and
my half-formed purposes wrought out no
sure result.

Who Was Burke a!

During the progress of the libel suit at
Marion last week, Judge Merrimon, while
in the midst of an elaborate argument on
the Statute of Limitation, alluded to the
Bread Riots in London, and quoted from
the famous barrister and statesman, Burhe.
One of the iurymen. leaning toward Gov,
Vance, enquired:
WHO was Edmund Burke?n
Burke said Vance in feigned surprise,
'why-why, he was an Irish switch-tend-

Was he a lawyer
"Oh, no. He graduated as hod-carrier,

free Schools.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Observation and
experience have taught u.s. that a well reg
ulated free school system is one of the life
giving elements TO a commonwealth. AS
we have now, common school system in
practical working order, the executives all
at their proper places, and we trust all Wig
orOusly at work, the question arises, How
can the schools be made efflcient?n Be-
fore an efficient school can be had, there
must be an efficient teacher, one who
knows what!to teach, bow to teach, and
has a will to teach.
Now Messrs. Editors, what we want
first, is higher grade of scholar
ship than is attainedlby many of our dis
trict teachers, and second we want those
who understand the theory and practice of
teaching, and of school government. Meth
er of these we have for our necessity, and
by no means for our demand.
We have them, it is true, in an album
dance who are accomplished in the artifi-
cial and higher branches of an education,
such as our colleges and Institutes impart,
but of what practical benefit to commu-
nifty, are our universities and colleges, in
the proper primary and fundamental train
ing, such as should be given in the COM
mon schools Colleges cannot be sustained
unless students are prepared for them.
How frequently does 1t occur, that where
our young men are subjected TO rigid ex-
animation in what is termed the primary
branches, do we see them unfortunately
fail, and why? Take for example, your
annual appointments to West Point
Military Academy or Naval Academy,
and with such sad experiences of the past,
how shall we guard the future Let us begin
by educating our teachers properly for the
common schools, not by supplanting the
material we have, bat by greatly improv-
ing it. There are those who desire
such improvement and would gladly avail
themselves of any opportunity that might
be offered them. Who are they that will
organize q teachers institute or normal
| class, with an experienced teacher at its
head? Speak out, teacher; the standard
must be raised The necessity of the times
demands it, "#.. PROGR ESS.

ACase Of Assault and BATTERY.

A man, whom for convenience sake we
will call Brooks, living in the neighbour
hood of Shieldstown, is a meek and inof-
fensive citizen. In fact his chronic indis-
position to engage in fights and brawls has
led many of his acquaintance TO give him
the sobriquet of Quaker Brooks But
Mr.. B., like most mortals, has his trials,
I'D notwithstanding his ferVent utter
ances of LET us have peace,n occasionally
gets himself into the midst of q beautiful
scrimmage. For instance, only yesterday
evening, while he was down in his
barn lot throwing dough to the poultry,
mis- neighbor whom we Will call Scales,
living next door came down into his gar
den and began to gather corn from this
patch for his shoats. Now Brooks is fond
Of discussion and will grow excited and
furious sometimes in spite of his timidity
and itso fell out that he and Scales began 10
z argue whether the Kickapoos were blood
relations of the Modes, and Scales having
the negative appeared to be getting
the better OF Brooks, whereupon
that gentleman stood upon the COW trough
and leaned across the fence and GRATED at
Scales with great force aud vigor, empha-
sizing his remarks by ticks upon the bot
ON Of the dough pan. He got excited
and perspired and wiped his face with his
red silk handkerchief, and would swing It
around behind him and bring il up over
point on Scales. But his bull year
ling in the lot mistook his gestures
with the handkerchief as challenges to
himself, and while Brooks was in glow
ing peroation, and Scales, with his arms
full Of corn and mouth wide open listen
ing TO him, the yearAng got good start,
and striking Brooks a square lick, landed
him upon the top of the fence and shot
the dough-pan out of his hand against the
backbone of Scales nose. Brooks reached
ont 10 grab at Scales TO save himself but
the latter understood these motions as

stepped back between the corn-rows and
began TO pelt Brooks with the hard ears
Brooks yelled for help-the calf was pat

The labor saving genius of Young
America is something amazing. He
Is an illustration: An Evanston pa
rent sent Young Hopeful out to draw
the baby for an airing. Young
Hopeful thought he would save Ia
Dor by saddling that duty off upon
his noble mastif. He thereupon
improvised a harness out of the
the clothesline and hitched the noble
mastif to the carriage. Just then
the noble mastiff7s faYorite canine
playmate frolicked along the road,
and cutie obliVious of the new duty
he was obliged to perform, the noble
mastiff sprang to his more agreeable
companship. And then these two
animals started for a run, and that
baby accompanied them. A howl
from the startled Hopeful brought
the parents to the scene, and then
ensued a chase for those dogs and
that baby that beggars description.
Up this street, down that, through
this blind alley, across that broad
avenue. The dogs gathered fright
as the pursuers gathered numbers
and the baby gathered lungs, until
friendly stump relieved the car
riage Of its load, and the precious
infant, in its lovely white embrOid-
cred clothes, was picked mp out of
the mud, good deal more fright
ened, happily, than hurt. But the

er found the boy 8 model Of deport-
ment on that day. He considered it

Music Family.

Music in family is a means of do
nestle cheerfulness. A musical
family, in spite of cares, perplexi-
ties, or even trials, may be a cheer
full family. Cheerfulness is the sense
of the term which implies good spir-
its, and in which needless depression
of mind and morbid melancholy are
kept away. You can have the sun
shine for cheerfulness in your house
in the most rainy, cheerless or win
try day that ever was, if you can
have music. Music provokes good
nature in a family, and in this world
where there is so much evil nature
manifested in a thousand ways, and
in the family sometimes, as lWell as
elsewhere, anything which will pro-
mote good nature is TO be priced.
Who can fret and scold when the
very air around is blended with har-
Imony.

Plnok-A canital Fable.

The hopelessness of any ones ac-
complishing anything without pluck
is illustrated by an old East India
fable. A mouse that dwelt near the
abode of a great magician was kept
in such constant distress by its fear
of cat, that the magician, taking
pity on it, turned it into a cat itself
Immediately it began to suffer from
fear of q dog, so the magician turn
ed it into a dog. Then it began TO
suffer from fssr of a tiger, and the
magician turned it into tiger
Then it began to suffer from its fear
of a huntsman, and the magician, in
disgust. said: SBe q mouse again.
AS YOU have only the heart of a
monse. it is impossible to help you
by giving you the body OF a noble
animal"
1t is the same with amouse-heart-
ed man. He may be clothed with
the powers and placed in the posi-
ton Of brave men, but he will al
ways act like a mouse; and public
opinion is usually the great magi-
clan that finally says to such q per
son, "Go back to your obscurity
again. You have only the heart of
a mouse, and it is useless to try to
make lion Of yOu."
