Gov. Blaokburn's Prediction.

'NsW avn AeAStHt
Kentucky Is blessed with Cover.
nor who, lii addition to the probable
aud successful pursuit OF politics, fol-
lowe also the old and useful profes-
sion OF medicine. This distinguished
statesman and politician, who, a
Western journal assures us, 10 all
authority upon fever and cholera cpl.
denies, makes the startling predic-
tion that visitation of the dread dis
ease is an exceedingly probable event,
at least IN the West, in the very near
future. The Governors theory Is
this: In the course of a long expert
ence he has always observed that
cholera epidemic follows Upon the
heels Of an influenza epidemic, and as
We have just Ind the latter the other
may be expected to come along on
timo. Doctor Gov. Blackburn ia not,
however, without certain and sure
specific which, he asserts, will cure
the worst case or Kentucky cholera
that was ever known. IL IL an ex-
ceedinRly simple ono--namely. THAT
we all drink cistern water. Consid-
erihK that water OF any kind 10 almost
unknown az a beverage In Kenthtky
II is TO be feared that The Democratic
majority IN that State 10 in grave
peril II Its salvation depends upon
cisterns. While II may not be en-
iirely wise or prudent TO write Mr.
Blackburn down in that Hat of pro.
pheta, at tho Head Of which stands
Mother Bhiptun, It is not altogether
certain that the Kentucky statesman
docs hot ENJOY the reputation Of being
a great Governor among the doctor

While there was not az largo an

however. as there is no means of en-.

can be put in force at all. it is an as

ST. HELENA, Neb., May "a, 1881.
The Missouri River has nearly re.
sumed its wonted flow, but the heavy
rains recently, in the farther northwest,
occasionally brought it up with brightfn
rapidity. The land in the flooded dis
tIicts will be unprodnctive for at least
one year. Green Island, opposite Yank-
ton, a populous and productive section,i j.
now covered with sand. In places you
see bunch of vegetable matter fighting
It's way to sunlight, but as farming sec
tion it is no more. The drowned cattle
aud those which died from the effects Of
the intense cold, are now rapidly decom-
posfLk ,asd at places the stencil is beyond
endurance.
Farming Is late. On account of the
early winter fall-plowing had to be laid
aside until this spring. The spring has
been very backward, also. As rule
wheat Is up and growing finely, but we
know of many farmers who have not yet
sowed. The ground for corn Is breaking,
but we have seen very few fields In which
it is planted. Even though the season ID
late, large yields are expected. The rich
soil. now thoroughly wet, holds moisture
long time, and The hot sun will fully
mature the crops, even though to an cas-
tern man the time seems exceedingly
short. The prairie looks like rolling
green sea. A. M. q.
