THE HEALTH OF KNOXVILLE.

The general health Of the city continues
good. The city was I'll with absurd M
mCrs of cholera cases, but after careful in
quiry they proved to be unfounded in all
but one case.
1t was first reported that DR.. Mays, the
worthy minister OF the Baptist Church,
was down with violent attack of cholera.
When approached, he indignantly cenied
it. He was not Vell-was suffering from
abdominal troubles-but nothing serious,
and was feeling very comfortable las, night.
Mrs. Rutherford, on Cumberland street,
near Second creek, died last right az 50
O'Clock. She was taken last Monday, with
bowel troubles. She was treated in sue
cesion By several physicians, but we are
informed she was iardy in following The in
structioUs of any OF them. Drs. James
Rodgers and Ramsey prescribed for her
yesterday, bu' they complained that their
medicines were not taken or their advice
followed. Dr.. Ramsey informs us that
there was wanting several features of ChOl-
era. There Was DO cramping, no GOODNESS
Of the body till death was very near at
hand, and no cholera discharges. He says
there were local causes about the premises
10 induce cholera; and that she had warn
iugs 10 time Of her troubles.
This case, while furnishing no occasion
for alarm, should still serve to warn US Of
the neces sity Of observing rigialy sanitary
precautions. The news from Chattanooga
warns us and every good citizen S. Ould see
10 it to-iay, that every precsution is taken
TO avert the fearful scOurge.
We were furnished yesterday by the city
undertakes, with q comparative statement
of the deaths in June, 1872, anG 1873. The

MENTAL ALIENATION.

A very touching case of mental sliena-
ton In a charming young lady is described
bv A careful observer. Not long ago her
mother found her in her room energetically
dsrning stockings, and soon after she ap-
peared in the kitchen and assisted that
wondering dame in making and bsklng
bread and pastry. Alarmed by these fear
full signs Of intellectual disorder, her fond
parents immediately sent for skillful phy-
stefan, who watched her through Keynote
while she sewed buttons on her fathers
garments and mended those of her little
brother. Much sffec, ed, the venerable
man remarked that never during
medical practice Of twenty-five years
had he known any young person to mani
fest such symptoms IS these. Inc most
heartrendiTs phase OF all. however, was
shown the other day, when her kind fatner,
with a faint hope of rousinI her from her
sad 8. ate, gave her $500 and told her to

Instantly observed that she didn't need q
new dress, and if he would let her keep

A SNAKE STORY.

Mr.. Elisha Martin, who lives IL the Val
ley beyond lockwood, in this county, met
with an adventure the other day, which we
deem sufficiently interesting to merit more
IN II \ passing notice. Mr.. Martin, who is
4 rulhful ard reliable man, states that
while at work few days ago, in his field,
feeling tired, conc uded to rest himself, and
with that view, sought a large log near by.
After comfortably seating himself and wEiiss
engaged in wiping perspiratlon from his
face, n telt something mO7in, under him
After getting the peTspiratiOn out OF his eyes,
and boxing down, he saw the tail end Of

was wriGgiing violently, and at the same
time realized the appalling fact that be WIS

stances would have been psralyzed and

THE HEAVY MORTALITY All GAIL
Hr LATIN.

During the prevalence of the epidemic
here our estimate of the population re.
manning is 1900. In this we are sustained
by the opinions OF the citizens. The desths
bv cholera, strictly within the corporate
limits, to this writing, "wednesday, July -
have been an even hundred. We have,
therefore, lost one il every fifteen, or SIX
and two thirds per cent. This is an appall-
ing figure, and shows larger mortality 10
GallatiD than elsewhere. 1t goes far beyond
that of Calcutta, where in the sickliese year
it is only two and half per cent. At
Nashville, from 1888 to 1913, after the ad'
vent of cholera, it was 4.56 per cent. La
1866 it rose to nearly 6 per cent. This
above is the total mortality, inclusive q
cholera. If an inhabitanI of Gallstln could
have foreseen on the LIST day of June last
that one person in every fifteen would be
| living in a grave, he would have been ap-
palled at the fearful picture; and yet II is
true. And we are glad that our absent
friends were not here to witness the terrible
scenes of the past month, the deserted
| streets and closed houses. the general
gloom that shadowed the enti-e town; the
almost painful silence that brooded over all
and broken only by the rumble OF hearses
| over the stony pavements, or the lamentf'
tious of the stricken survivors,-GdHdtfr
