The Cholera.

The dispatches have chronicled,
within the last few weeks, several out
breaks of the cholera in different parts
of India. 1t has appeared among the
natives of the eastern portion of India,
has touched the southern districts of
China, and has caused more havoc than
Afghan bullets in the British army on
the Afghan frontier. The returning
soldiers have carried it to commercial
points in India, and it is feared the dis
ease may move along the lines toward
Europe, as it did in 1928, 1880. 1885,
1847 and 1858.
In 1917 there was q violent out
break of cholera in Bengal, the dis
ease gradually extending to all parts
of India. During the next three
years the cholera ragged all over
India, and extended to China and Per-
STA. In 1928 it advanced into Asia
Minor and Russia in Asia. In 1880
another cholera epidemic swept over
India, Persia and Asia-Minor, and,
moving along the Caspian lines of
travel, entered Russia in Europe. It
reached England in October, 1881, and
in the succeeding years spread into
France, Spain and Italy, and was car
ried across to America. To make the
story brief, the cholera wave which
originated in India in 1917, within
twenty years visited large portion of
the world. A country once visited
was subjected to fresh outbreaks until
1887, when the cholera disappeared.
In 1841 there was another outbreak
of cholera in India, and the disease
moved slowly along the old line toward
Europe, reaching Russia and Germany
in 1847, and at later date England
and America. taking in this time much
new territory.
There was another outbreak in 1850,
the wave this time reaching Europe in
1853, and extending to America two
years later.
A further epidemic visited Europe in

A Texas Trial in Olden Times.

THERE was a case of demonstrating
tried here in our District Court, in early
days, that was very peculiar. There
wasn't very much style and ceremony
about trying cases then, and particu-
larly horse-stealing cases. And this
was most particularly so when a Mexi-
can was accused of stealing horse.
Pretty much all that was necessary was
tosay: Gentlemen of the jury, there's
your Mexican" and they would cry
out, "Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree" without leaving their seats.
May be it was not quite that unceremo-
NOUS, but there wasn't much precious
time wasted before humping him off to
Huntsville. Well, one day, Mexican,
named Jose Maria Somethingorother,
was brought in court to be tried for un-
due recklessness in the transfer of live
stock. The Court had appointed a
leading lawyer to defend the Mexican,
he being withoutfunds to employ coun-
sci, but the counsel was prevented by
more important business (being on a
protracted spree) from consulting with
his Mexican client. In fact, the lawyer
never saw his client until the Deputy
Sheriff brought him into court and
dumped him down in his chair along
side of his attorney. Now, the Deputy
Sheriff happened to be new hand,
and didn't know one Mexican from
another, and as the venire had run
short, and the jury-box had to be filled
up, he picked up all the loafers in the
courtroom, and actually took the pris-
oner himself and put him in the jury
box to try his own case. The prisoner
was unfamiliar with the way of courts,
so he didn't say anything, and. as
another Mexican strolled in and took
the vacant seat of the prisoner, his
counsel was none the wiser, particu-
larly as he himself had been out in the
meantime and taken several more
drinks. The jury was impaneled and
sworn, among them, of course, the
prisoner, who lifted up his hand with
the rest. The prisoners attorney now
turned to his client, and, not knowing
Spanish, asked him in English if he
really stole the horse, as charged
in the indictment. The Mexican
didn't understand q word, and, as is
customary with Mexicans when they
are asked questions they don't UNDER
stand, he answered, Isl, senior" Eyes,
sir); whereupon the lawyer got up and
told the Court that his unfortunate Gle
emit pleaded guilty, but he, the lawyer,

NEAR Atlanta, Ca, few days ago
little child fell over the steep side OF Stone
Mountain, which has a perpendicular height
of 1000 feet. The little one caught on
ledge OF rocks, and, by sticking her fingers in
the crevices, managed to hold on until an
alarm was carried to the town, three miles off.
A large crowd fastened to the place, when
they found the child fly feet below the
brink of the mountain, she having slid down
rather than fallen outright. A man
named Joy Goldsmith was let over the brink
with stout rope. He reached the child Just
as she was exhausted, and they were drawn
to the top amid the most intense excitement.
The mother awaited the child at the brink.
The little girl was considerably bruised, but
all were thankful that matters were no worse,
as the escape from death was a remarkable
one.
A DISPATCH to the Boston Herald
from Providence on the LIST denies that Mrs.
Sprague left Newport in steam yacht on the
3Oth ult, and adds: Governor Sprague de-
MES in toto that he left any watch over his
wife, or that he intercepted any of her mes
sages or letters" 1t was said the Governor
would take immediate steps to regain pos
session of his daughters. A special from
Providence on the 1st to the Chicago Inter-
Ocean says it was probable Mrs. Sprague had
been aided in her escape By old friends of her
father, and that she would be landed some
where on the European coast, and be guarded
in her seclusion until some definite under.
standing and settlement over her husband
should be arrived at.
