IT is thought the breaking out of the
cholera will cause panic in the British
grain trade, the spectators OF England
having made large purchases of East
Indian grain, which the prevalence of
the plague there will prevent being
handled. Under these circumstances
America, it is presumed, will be called
upon to supply European wants.
A cable dispatch of the I'd inst. says
hat 119 deaths from cholera occurred at
Damietta in twenty-four hours. Most
of the physicians becoming panic strick-
en- at the horrible mortality had fled the
city. Persons attempting to pass the
sanitary lines in Egypt has been order
ed to be shot. The French govern
ment has decided to quarantine allves-
sells suspected of having cholera on
board, as the British authorities have
been known to grant clean bills of
health to ships from infected ports.
The annual pilgrimage to Mecca has
been prohibited by the governor of Al
giers. Every precaution has been tax
en- to guard the British troops in
Egypt.
A DISPATCH from Cairo, Egypt, says:
The situation between here, and Port
Sand in one direction and Alexandria
in the other is deplorable, and can
scarcely be exaggerated. The extent
of the cholera plague, owing to Govern
ment precautions, is not actually known
but the statements of those who have
escaped from the infected districts and
those whose very presence is Stunned
by almost every one, reveal terri
BILE state of affairs. There are scarce
ly well natives enough to bury the
dead in some of the comparatively iso-
late villages along the Mediterranean
and in the low Nile Delta districts be-
tween Lake Menzalen and Lake Boor-
los" Sir William Gull, an eminent
English physician, does not believe the
cholera will spread to Europe. -. While
the oast-trading steamer Daphne was
being launched at Renfrew, Scotland,
she capsized when she struck the water,
and of large number of persons on
board $50 were drowned. The Inflated
craft had all her machinery on board,
and her hull retards navigation in the
Clyde.

BISHOP McMULLEN, of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Davenport, died
at Davenport, Iowa, on the evening Of
the 4th OF July. Bishop Pinckney, of
the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland,
died in Baltimore at about the same
hour. The venerable Archbishop Pur-
cell also died Oh the morning of indie
pendence day, near Cincinnati.
THERE is deep feeling among mem
bers of the Masonic order in Canada on
account of the decision that under the
laws and acts of the Grand Lodge of
Quebec are illegal and that all who
have united with it can be subjected to
heavy penalties. The question will pass
into the Dominion courts and then be
appealed to the law Lords of England.

reflective mood, building pretty fancy
shout jet of flame, only to have it go
out in smoke, and wreathing about a
Slowing coal a chaplet of happy
thoughts, only te see it shoulder and
fade away into dust and ashes. At last
he said to his wife:
"My dear, would you be sorry if I
were to die?"
"Dont talk that way, Topnoody,"
she replied. "Of course l would
Sometimes, my dear, L think it
would be relief to you if L should

gone no before"
"No, no, it wouldn't"
E"But you could find some one else to

Il know it, Topnoody, but Won mustn't

why not, my dear?" he persisted.
thinking a tender chord was touched.

The party took buggies at several
points and drove into the countFt'

DR.. Adrian being spokesman for the
party, they were highly pleased with
the country. Some of the party made !.
purchases at the various places, anal'
is their intention to return during the
season and close up some lanaeu
transactions. The corn and cottoH
crops are very promising, and tns
wheat yield has been excellent, as wa

To show the value of advertising the
Dublin Enterprise tells of a man who
sent an advertisement to be inserted
in its columns offering a reward for the
recovery of number of sheep that had
strayed from his ranch, and the adver-
tisement had not been in the office
three hours when all the sheep re-
turned to the ranch Of their own
accord. We can beat that. Last Fri
day Mr.. W. c. Thompson came into
the Blade Office to have printed some
notices of horse supposed to have
been stolen, stating al the time that
unless he succeeded in recovering the
animal IN the meantime, he would ad-
vertise and offer a reward IN TIE next

GOVERNOR BEN BUTLER has sent to
the Massachusetts House veto of the
bill to levy State tax of 100000.
He does not believe in raising money
before it is needed and letting it lie in
bonds at per cent, while poor people
who pay taxes must borrow at not less
than per cent. to pay taxes with.
He reviews the finance of the past
four years, and says tax of 100000
is unnecessary and unreasonable. He
regards $1,O00,00O as q sufficient tax,
and 81, 100000 as ample.
