Important Action of the Confer
enee for the Protection Of
submarine Cables.

LONDON, October 27--Cholera has
reappeared at Cairo. Since the second
recent visitation at Alexandria, twenty
five cases have been reported.
PARIS, October 27.-The conference
for the protection ofsubmarine cables has
been concluded. The most important
feature of the conference was
the English proposal that in the
event there was any power
they would be at liberty to withdraw
with the right Of re-admission when peace
had been concluded, and the conference
adopted this principle. This means that
in case of war any power may cut cables
at its own risk. The cables must take
chances similar 10 other property at sea.

ration.

THE New York Herald, with touch
of the humorous, says; "If Mr. Cox is to
be believed, Mr.. Cox is to be the next
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
and Mr.. Cox further has no hesitation in
saying that Mr.. Cox will make a good
Speaker. On this latter point We quite
agree with Mr. Cox, and know that he
would perform with honesty and ability
the functions Of the office. With either
Mr.. Carlisle or Mr.. Cox in the chair the
Democrats would be well directed. Mr..
Cox, however, is confident that Mr.. Cox
is the coming man.

THE PROGRESS OF NEW YoRK.-In 1771 ths population of the city of New York was little over 21, ,O00; and in 1786, three years after the close of the revolutionary war. it had 23 ,614 inhabitants. The sev- eral csnsuses taken during the past 100 years exhibit the marvellous rapid strides which New York has made toward her present imperial position. In 179O, how ever. the population was little more than it was in 1771 but by 1900 it had risen to 6O,515. The remaining censuses are thus given 1910, 96,373; 1915, 95, ,518 1920, l23, ,7O6; 1895, 166,O86; 1880, 2O2, ,589 j; 1885, 27O, ,O89 184O, 312, 710; 1845, 371,- 223 1850, 515, ,547; 1855, 629, 1906; 1860, 813, ,669; 1865, 726, ,384; 1870, ,942, ,292; 1875, 1,O41 1886 and 1880, 1,2O6, ,299. ca only two occasions has the enumeration shown decrease from the figures of the preced- ing census. The first time was after the war of 1872, and the second after the civil war. The population of New York city has doubled six times within century, doubling, on an average, once in every IT years. In other words. the New York of to-day, is 61 times as large as the New York of 100 years ago. The rate of in- crease in the country at large is insignif- cant beside that of the metropolis. in 100 years the population of the United States has multiplied itself by 16; but the pop ulation of New York has increased at four times that rate. At the rate of increase shown by the last 25 years alone-a rate diminished by the decline of American commerce and the influence of the civil war-there are children now nursing who will behold New York city containing no less than 10, ,OOO, ,OO0 inhabitants.

Cooley's Weekly: A correspondent sends the following about post office in one of the country towns, north of Nor wich: There were some angry men in 8 certain post office few days ago. A post al card was dropped into the letter box ad- dressed to .'Rev. MT. Penobscot." It was an ordinary card and the postmaster was an ordinary postmaster. He took it, glanced at the address, turned it leisurely over, and read "You, to whom this card is not addressed and who, nevertheless, have, the cheek to read it, are contempt ble, unprincipled sneak, and a prying, pusilanimous coward The postmaster laid the card gently down and lounged to the other end of the house softly whistling s'Nancy Lee" In due time the clerk came upon the card, perused it, and made the neighborhood hideous with the complain ings of his pet dog, which he kicked in the ribs. How the card fared with the various agents through whose hands it passed, it is impossible to say ,nor do we know whether it was read by the man, who is postmaster of the office where Rev. Mir. Penobscot is supposed to get his mail but the report is that on the day it reached there he smashed bottle of ink, spanked the chil- dren all round, and chewed up sixty five cents worth of wax. We cannot be too careful never to write on postal cards any thing in the least calculated to wound the sensitive delicacy of the post-office peo- ple's feelings. .i,..

The New York Tribune short time ago contained an item referring to a decision
 of the supreme court against 2 medical ool- lege, the case being argued in appeal. Ed ward c. Ripley represented the attorney general, and Judge Fithian for the col lege In view of the importance of the case, and the weight of the legal opposi- tion, MT. Ripley position was considered 9 marked one. MT. Ripley is native of Holland county, having been born in Gov entry, and at one time he was gig tender in the Rock mill. He attended the school in the East district, afterward at Fort Ed ward, and the New York law school. He is brother of Mrs. M. w. Pember of this village. It is pleasing to notice these boys who have worked way up as has MT. Rip ley. He has brother who is also a law yer in New York, and another brother a physician there. This doctor is endowed with the same energy. In his young days being at work In Waterbury, and wishing to come home, he took the train as far as Hartford, but failing to connect or for oth- CT reasons he started on foot through snow, slush and cold. As he neared Rockville he found his feet about freezing, but was refused admittance to house. He kept on, the result of which was his feet were so badly frozen that the flesh dropped off. Such energy characterized these Holland county boys, and place them in the high positions which they now occupy. 7 <
