With evident effort, he stretches out
one thin, emaciated hand, and clasps in

there so lovingly. The dark eyes,

suffering gives, fasten themselves upon
the girls face with worshipful fondness,
and sigh breaks from the parted lips.

had said more than his strength could
bear, and he sank back almost fainting
upon his pillows.

Will the Cholera Visit Europe:
From the London Lancet


Cholera is reported To have broken out aG
Jedda and Mecca. The news has not Vet been
confirmed. but, unfortunately. there is great
probability of its accuracy. Since 1875 epide-
miOlogiStS i'm this country have had an uneasy
feeling that We are about to witness another
diffusion of the malady beyond the boundaries
OF India. This feeling seemed TO receive con
III lmatiOn from the aScertained spread of the
disease eastward into the districts Of China,
and probably also i'm parts Of the Eastern Ar
chipelago. and northward into Belo0chistau
and A1ganlstan To the frontier of Persia.
Although no facts were known of extension 10
the countries westward, yet il was 10 he in
ferred that what had been observed to the
north and east of India might also be taking
place at the west, and the recent carriage OF
the disease by French transport from Saigon
INTO the Red Sea gave some cOuntenaHce TO
this view. This happened when the tide Of
the Mecca pilgrimage flowing from India and
the Eastern Archipelago, was i'm full flow.
Hence there Is great probability that the
reported appearance OF cholera al Mecca
and Its seaport Jedda, will prove correct.
Europe should stand i'm respect Tor this threat
enea calamity i'm different position from that
in which il has ever stood before under a sim
liar prospect. The International Sanitary
Conference, which sat at Vienna i'm 1874. came
TO common understanding as 10 the princi-
pies OF international hygiene which should
govern the different nations of Europe in view
of another threatened epidemic of cholera. IL
Is incumbent upon the various European gov
ernments 10 adopt these principles Loyalty and
carry them out. These principles, while spe-
clally calculated TO avert or greatly modify
the yeNations and futile practices OF quaran-
tine, set forth clearly the conditions, as tested
by experience, which afford the greatest pro
lection against the Introduction of the pesti-
lence into country from without. That il
would be possible TO exclude the disease
wholly from Europe by any means of quaran-
tine when il becomes epidemically diffuSive is
the merest figment of the Imagination. Mea-
Sures 10 prevent the needless Introduction of
cases into country have their value, but the
only true protection rests In internal measures

A New Way to Swindle Railroads.

FORGED TICKETS ON SALE IN CHICAGO-HOw
THE AGENT WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
A special dispatch to the New York Times
from Chicago, February 9TH, says: A young
rested for forging railroad tickets. He claims
to have bought them in Buffalo, and was offer
ing several over the Milwaukee and st. Paul
line for sale to a broker when arrested. He
was taken to the central station, where he was
searched, and number of the forged tickets
was also found check for a satchel, which
was at the baggage room OF the Lake Shore
depot. The satchel being opened, it was
found to contain several hundred of the forged
tickets, six stamps and heads, a number of
papers, clothing and a loaded revolver. The
tickets were all in limitations of the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad issue, and
bore the fac Simile of Mr.. Kendrick:s sigma
ture. Some Of them were for Chicago and
others for st. Paul. and some to local points
on the New York Central road. The stamps
were an imitation of those used at the New
York Central offices, at No 41S Broadway, New
York city, Buffalo, Hudson, Peekskill, Herki-
mer and Rochester. From the papers i'm the
satchel it appeared that these stamps had
been made at No. 81 Nassau street. New York.
