ALL Earope is becoming alarmed at
the threatening character of the chol-
era and the rapidity of It's spread.
Notwithstanding the international quar-
antine, which was intended to prevent
it from getting into Earope blythe gate
way of the Suez canal, it has reached
the northern entrance, and appears to
have fastened itself permanently at
Port Said, Damletta, Mansurah and
Rosett, in Egypt, which are all in close
proximity to the entrance. Thence it
has reached Alexandria to the westward
and Cairo to the south, entering the
latter place, as usual, while the doctors
are disputipg about it. Whether chol-
era or not, 1t is fearfully fatal disease,
spreading with frightful rapidity, and
it would seem to be the duty of doctors
to unite their efforts in mitigating it's
ravsges rather than in engaging in
learned disputes over its character.
Still another warning has been given to
Europe by the arrival of q steamer at
Havre, France, from Bombay, with d
case on board which of course must have
escaped the quarantine and come up
through the canal and thence into the
Mediterranean. Should it reach France
or England, it must inevitably spread
over Europe this summer, in which case
we msy expect it this fall or in 1884.
The march of this terrible destroyer
not only threatens the health of Europe,
but it is laying its embargo upon its
commerce. 1t has closed Port Said and
the Suez Canal tighter than any govern
ment or any quarantine could do it al
ready. The great canal is now shut
against commerce, and that means q
cessation of the trade between Europe
and Asia, or its compulsory diversion
from the short cut of the canal into the
Mediterranean to the old, long and te-
dious route round Africa. 1t has block
ed o commerce of the extent of wkiok
few people have an adequate idea.

To Steady the Nerves

is a task to the accomplishment of which mar
coticS and sedatives are inadequate. The effect
they produce is paralytic. They destroy sensa-
ton without benefting the nerves. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, on the contrary, strengthens
and soothes the nervous system. 0verwork and
mental anxiety weaken and relax it, and there
is no more reliable means of bracng it and re-
storing nerve quietude, than by reinforcing di-
gestion and by promoting assimilation of the
food-two effects always consequent upon the use
of the great stomachic. Failing strength is re-
cuperated a regular habit of body restored, and
appetite improved by the Bitters. Disease must
be regarded as exceedingly remote possibility
by any one whose system has thus been rein
forced. Malarial disease, constipation, dyspep-
sia rheumatism and kidney troubles are ever
come by and prevented by this standard medi-
cine, which has no peer among American tonics
and is in constantly increasing demand iu Mexi-
CO. the West Indies and South America.

JOYe's Thunderbolts Under Ground,
Baltimore American.

During d heavy storm d week ago,
while the guides were showing a large
party through the Luray Caverns in
Virginia, the lightning struck one OF
the electric light wires and was carried
into the caves, while it ran over the
wires from one end to the other. The
electric light globes were shivered into
fragments and the lightning gathered
into big balls along the wire and ex-
ploded with loud reports. The scene
for several minutes was terrific beyond
description. The lightning along the
wires looked like fiery serpents. One
bolt shot from the wires and scattered
the stalactites OF the bridal chambers.
When it disappeared some of the party
were left in total darkness.

THE new postal money-Order law of
Congress went into practical effect July
]. You can now obtain at any money
order post Office postal notes In sums of
S. and under by paying fee of 3 cents.
These notes will be made payable to
bearer without any corresponding
advices. They will be payable at any
money-order Office within three months
of the date of issue. After the lapse
of the time the holder can obtain the
par value on!y hy applying to the Post
Office Department at Washington.
Another new arrangement also now
goes into effect. You can obtain a
postal money-order for as large sum
as 500. The limit has been $50. The
fees for orders will be as follows:
Not exceeding $40, cents; from SO
to SIS, 10 cents; from Sic to $50, Is
cents; from $50 to $40, 20 cents; from
$40 TO $50, % cents; from $50 to $50, 80
cents; from $50 to $40, 35 cents; from
SO to $50, 40 cents; from $50 to 500,
IS cents.
The postal notes will no doubt be
found more convenient In one respect
than the fractional paper currency
was, since they can be obtained fer any
number of cents under SIS. It will be
observed furthermore that, after the 1st
of October, the cost of sending any
sum under S. by postal note will be
oents-2 cents postage and 8 cents

The year 1883 seems destined by It's
disasters from cyclones, floods. fires,
and anics to pass into history as the
most calamitous ever recorded. There
seems to be some unseen fatality in
the universe, and destruction and death
from some quarter come as regular as
the day. The last on the list of de-
structiye forces Is the appearance of
the dreaded scourge cholera, directly
in its old line of travel.

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-In the House
under the call of States bills were in
trOduced by Mr.. Springer Qll.,) for the
distribution of the statutes at large, and
Mr.. Robinson On. " from the Commit
tee on Pensions, reported back a bill
granting pension of $50 a month to
Septimia Randolph Meikleham, Thomas
JeffersOn's granddaughter.
The House went into Committee of
the Whole on the Tariff bill, the pend
ing paragraph being that imposing a
duty on chains. Mr.. Turner (Ky.,) offer
ed an amendment exempting trace
chains from duty and placing them on
the free list. The amendment was Op-
posed by Mr.. PEBBLE Qnd., who contend
ed that the imposition of duty on Il ace
chains lesened their cost to the farmer,
and by Mr.. HOrr Mich, who argued that
the farmer received to-day as much
benefit from protective tariff as any
class of men in the United States. Mr..
Carlisle said that while the imposition
of duty had tendency to increase the
price of domestic products it had also a
tendency to throw into the hands of the
American producer the power to com
bine against the consumer and rule the
market. Instead of giving competition
it gave combination and high prices.
The committee rose for the purpose of
limiting debate, but a contest arose as
to whether the time should be limited to
five or thirty minutes, and the yeas and
nays were ordered on the latter pTOpO-
sitiOn. An hour was consumed in roll
calls and finally Mr.. Kelley's motion
limiting debate to five minutes was
agreed to and the House again went
into committee and the pending amend
ment was lOst-6S to 90-Mr. Anderson

CINCINNATI IN DISTRESS
Almost Cut OfFrOm the Rest OF
the World.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-The city is in
despair. The water is still rising, and
there is no hope of it letting up at the
present. The river is 81 feet, the high
est ever known. In many instances
second removal of goods stored at sup
pDsed safe height was made. But the
worst effect was on the railroads. To-
night the city Of Cincinnati has no con-
nectiOn with the outside world save by
country roads over the hills and tele-
graph wires. The Cincinnati Northern,
a narrow gauge road that went over the
hills, was the only one left, and seri-
GUS accident on that closed it for the
present. The express companies have
ceased to receive goods, and will have to
haul what they must send miles over
the hills to points not reached by the
water and ship in all sorts of round
about ways. The streets have been
crowded with excited thOusands-idlers
out Of employment and curious specta-
tOrs-all discussing feveTishly the news
of the day from Louisville and points
below, where great damage Is reported.
People who live out of town found them
selves unable to leave and the hotels are
crowded. Houses in the flooded dis
triets are getting to be very unsafe and
must be constantly watched. Sewers
are bursting and it becomes hourly more
apparent that the damage will in'.rease.
Coal oil has gone up 80 to 100 per cent.
and produce the same way. Even sta
pie groceries are put up by some deal
ers, and poor people, even when safely
housed, must in many cases. from the
high prices, go without their daily food
But the work of relief is going on with
energy. Every society in the city, FROM
the Masonic lodges to church sewing
circles seems to have Joined in. and
everything is being done which is posi-
