Asiatic Cholera.

DR.. BOnnafont, in a communication
upon the ,Asiatic cholera, read before
the Academy of Medicine at Paris,
enmciates the following general propo-
sitions; First. this disease can not
originate spontaneously in any other
country than India, but must reach
other regions by transportation or by
the germs of the disease, atmospheric
currents, or some other vehicle; second,
all hygienic methods to avert this
plague must be. initiated and main
tanned in the country of its origin;
third, that IL is not the dead bodies Of
animals abandoned on the soil by cara
vans of pilgrims or the number of hui
man bodies thrown into the Gauges
that productive eruptions of the Asiatic
cholera, as these practices have pre-
vailed for ages, while appearances of
epidemic or Asiatic cholera in Europe,
Africa, or America date only from
the beginning Of the present century;
fourth, other causes, therefore, must
exist Tor the frequent movements of this
disease, and it ism India that these are
tO, be investigated; fifth, secondary ep-
iden1ics may perhaps be developed in
points already infected, but with very
rare exceptions they. never assume the
exact features of genuine cholera, and
they will generally fade out and disap-
pear until reinforced by new eruptions
from the original starting point. There
fore, the special points to be considered
are the questions why cholera has re-
manned for centuries imam epidemic and
stationary condition in India, and why
it has recently emerged though the at
conditions and manners and
customs of the Hindoos and pilgrims
remain unchanged.-Ioro9t0 Globe.

GOING INTorA DECLINE

How often we hear this expression about
people who have some disease that few med
ical men seem to understand. Some call it
liver complaint, some Kidney disease, some
dyspepsia, and others consumption. None
OF them afford relief. In the course Of the
disease the patients have the following
spmptOms-A tired, weak feeling, dizziness
in the head. with a faint, all gone sensation
at the pit Of the stomach, after eating feel
ing like heavy load on the stomach, pain
in the shoulders, sides and back at times,
seanty, high colOred urine, .depositing sed-
iment after standing, skin dark and swarthy,
coYered in places with brown spots, hands
and feet cold and ciamIny at times, az other
times hot and burning; sometimes there is
an itching over the whole body, appetite
changeabie. but food distresses and affords
but little nOurishment; bowels irregular,
after a time a cough sets-in, at first dry, but
after awhile it is attended with expectOra-
ton. and the body begins to waste. The
truth is that in such cases the liver, stOm-
ach. kidneys and blood are all diseased, and
for This combination of diseases we must ad-
minister a remedy that will act upon all Of
these organs at one time, or else while one
is being cured the others become worse.
The best article to meet such eases is the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF Roofs (nOt patent
medieine). This article generally removes
theIfisease. The article we mean is sold by

The Barber.Shop Of the Future.

A Detroit barber has been think
ing, and planning, and dreaming, and
in his minds eye he sees what can be
brought about as soon as he has earned
the money to pay the bill. He sees a
three-story barber-shOp on the corner,
with elevators carrying the unshaved
from floor to floor and sending them
down again. Billiard rooms, q gymna-
SUM, a summer garden, and a dancing
hall are in the plans. A silver fountain
throws streams of cologne to the cell
ing. The barber chairs have nickle-
plated legs. The razors have handles
of solid gold. The walls are mirrors,
in which the happy face of the proprie.
tor is reflected ten thousand times. A
band plays soft, sad strains Angelic
whispers feat through space. Unseen
silver fans cool the brow of each custo-
mer. While he is being shaved his
boots are BACKED, q ten dollar bill is
slipped into his pocket, perfume thrown
over him, and tailor measures him
for suit of clothes which is not to cost
him q cent. As he goes out he is given
q ticket to the opera, lottery ticket,
q new silk hat, gold-headed cane and
a stem-winding watch, and, if he offers
to pay for the shave, the proprietor of
the shop softly replies: elf you has
been made happy, de grand objeck am
accomplished. p"

How Nevada Justice Tied the Knot.

Judge Knox, of Virginia, was awak-

humor, thrust his head out of the win

A Snake as a Detective.

A gentleman of this city who suspect
ed a servant girl of stealing small arti-
cles determined to set a trap for her.
So he put jointed toy snake in his bu-
reau draw from whence the stolen arti-
eles, had been taken. Saturday morning,
while the members of the family were
at breakfast, he heard a scream, and
in came the girl with eyes as big as
dollars, and declaring that snake was
after her. The gentleman asked where
the snake was. She told him she saw
him on the steps. He then accused her
of taking the articles he had missed,
and told her not to 60 into the drawer
any more, as his tame snake was kept
there. He has not missed any thing
since.-Rtchnao7sd Wing.

The Herzegovina Amazon.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph says: 1t appears that
Nile Mercus, the young lady who is
playing the part of Joan of Arc in the
Herzegovina, is of Dutch nationality.
She IS about thirty years of age, of dimin-
utive stature, dark and not handsome.
She has squandered away the greater
part of q large fortune in the realiza-
ton of her romantic dreams; neverthe-
less, she is still in possession of more
than s7G, goo sterling. Her first fancy
was to erect a Protestant temple at
Jerusalem, in front of the monument
supposed to be our Saviour's tomb.
The temple, which cost $4,000, still
exists. Mile. Mercus' s present ambition
is to command Il battery of artillery,
and she recently gave 91,200 for the
purchase of INNS, but the gentleman
entrusted with the money suddenly dis
and nothing further has been
heard of him. This extraordinary lady
is not admired here, having supported
the Paris commune, and approved of
the archbishOp's assassination. She
spends her time running after battle
field adventures wherever they are to be
and, if public rumor be
correct, is rather to be compared to
Lola MonteZ than to the Maid of Or
cans. 0tFC

An American splrituaIist Abroad.

DR.. Henry Slade, who left New York
July ! under contract to produce his
spiritual 81 manifestations y in the pres
ence of royalty, has been heard from in
England. Accompanying him are his
agent, Simmons, and their two daugh-
tiers. They are now at the country seat
of the Countess of Caithness, and her
guests for the next two months, during
which time Crooke, Tyndall, and other
scientists will meet Slade there. This
noted medium formerly lived in Michi-
gan, and his special phase is the. pro-
ductiOn of writing inside of closed states
on the table before him. Thousands
who have seen him, and who are not
Spiritualists, believe he can do this thing,
or that it is done in his presesce by an
invisible agency. He is undoubtedly
the most celebrated American medium.
Slade is employed by Colonel II. S.
Olcott at $4,000 year and travelling
expenses, and has given to Olcott a
sufficient bond that he will perform the
wonders specified. He agrees to
be in St. Petersburg by October 1,
ready for business. At first, some
years ti2O, bLc IlusSldu OONcA lllliblI a ~
pointed a commission of five scientific
men, of which Professor .Mendelyeff
was chairman, and instructed the Board
to hold forty seances with the most
eminent mediums in the world to decide
as to the character of the phenomena.
They held four, and then broke up the
investigation by a premature report de-
nouncing the ''phenomena" as the re-
suit of imposture and delusion, to which
they declined longer to be party.
Then some $50 prominent Spiritualists,
including Colonel Olcott, say ''many
of the aristocracy and some of the
royal family" united in a protest, and
an adequate hearing. No
blemen subscribed a fund, Aksakoff
took the lead of the movement, and
Olcott to make a contract
with Slade. Now. if you please, we

The PeriIOus Adventures Of a Five
Year-0ld Girl.

On the 18th inst, at Starrville, in this
county, Minnie, the little five-year-old
daughter of Mr.. John T. Wyont, fell
into a well 80 feet deep, which had in
it about 10 feet of water. Minnie and
some other children were playing about
the well, when she climbed up on the
boxing and sat down with her back to-
ward the hole through which the buck
ct passes. Becoming amused at some
thing, she leaned back to laugh, and
aimed to rest her hands on the planks
behind her, but she missed them, and
fell through the hole backward and
headfOremost. One of her little com
panions caught her by the foot and
held her for a moment, but was unable
to prevent her from falling. That she
fell 20 feet headforemost, sank as deep
as her weight would carry her into the
water, remained in the well from seven
to ten minutes, and then came out I'M
hurt, appears unreasonable, but we
have the report from her fathers lips.
There were only two ladies on the place
at the time of the accident. They i'm
mediately let the bucket down, and as
soon as Minnie rose to the top she
caught it in her arms, and floated about
in that condition until she got hold of
the top of the curb, which was two or
Jhree inches under water, where she
supported herself until help arrived
and she was rescued. 1t is said that
she was neither hurt, strangled nor
much scared when she came out. II
Minnie lives she bids fair to be ''duck"
in more than one sense.-TyJer (Te1.)

Remarkable Self.Sacrifice.

This (says the Boston Globe is a true
story. The happy circumstances oc-
Cured on last Sunday evening. He es-
corted her to and from church, and up
on arriving at her home h 3ir discussion
of the sermon and the extreme heat
suggested an invitation, readily accept
ed by Charles, that they step into the
house and partake Of a cooling glass of
lemonade. She led him to the dining
room, and there found naughty brother
Ben about to squeeze the last lemon in
the house for his own individual benefit
Calling him aside she induced Ben, by
means of sundry threats and promises,
to dissect that lemon and make Charlie
and herself q glass. a self-sacriicing
thought struck her! "No, Ben," said
she, '' put the juice of the whole lemon
into Charities glass and bring
me glass Of water. He won't
notice it-there'S no light in
the parlor!" Ben was making one good,
strong lemonade, as directed, when
Charlie quietly slipped out and remark
ed: 81 say, Ben! put the Juice of your
entire lemon in your sisters glass and
bring me some ice-water-there is no
light in the parlor, and she won't notice
it!'' Ben's forte is in obeying orders.
With merry twinkle in his eye he
drank the lemonade, then carried them
each a glass of water, which they drank
with much apparent relish, asking each
other between sips elf it was sweet
enough!" And naughty brother Ben,
with the taste of that lemonade in his
mouth, stood out in the hall and laugh
ed till his sides ached, to hear them as
sure each other that it was "just right"

The Manufacture of Burglars Tools.

Since the old-fashioned modes of rob-
berry by highwaymen and garroters
have given place to the scientific bur-
glaries Of modern days, a demand has
been created for thieves implements,
made with all the Improvements obtain
able by means of our advanced mechan-
zeal science and increased general facil-
tiles. This demand has not been un-
needed by that large and influential
class of people who are always ready to
turn an opportune penny, be it honest
ly or otherwise, and the burglars of our
time and country can boast of having
as perfectly finished tools as any reputa-
able workmen. The largest manufacto-
ries of burglars tools are in New York,
Philadelphia and the West, and the men
who are engaged in the business are
frequently of a class of men who would
never contemplate any deed of crime.
The tools are made partly in one place
and partly in another, no maker ever
turning out a complete implement for
fear of discovery and consequent trouble.
A complete set of tools numbers forty
pieces, and is worth from $3.50 to S400,
so that the manufacturers carry on a
paying business. 1t is very difficult to
secure the conviction of makers for lack
of direct evidence, and even when one
is caught the punishment inflictedis not
commensurate with the otfense.
