Cholera Next Year.
National Republican.

The general health of the world. as shown by a large number of consular health reports received by the National Board of Health in this city yesterday. has been comparatively good for the past two months, with the exception of the far eastern countries, where cholera and other plaques are prevalent to a limited extent The opinion of medical men in this city who have studied the varying reports from infected regions is that the seeds of cholera are being sown in such a manner as to indicate general introduc- ton of the dreaded disease into Europe, and even England, next season. Some apprchensions are felt regarding its pos sible introduction into this country at the same time, and preparations will be made for rigid quarantines and other precau- tioHs in the event of the expected Euro pean outbreak. The reports received yesterday show the following death rates from cholera for one week in the latter part of last month: Bombay. India. sev- en,y-four deaths Alexandria, Egypt. thir- ty-three: Cairo, Egypt, twelve, The plague which threatened to devasta,e portions of Russia is on the wane, the weekly a.- craze of deaths at St. Petersburg being only seven. Under the head of " Deaths from other contagious diseases" the re- port from Bombay gives the weekly death rate at ,57 out of population of 775,- I9o persons. Consumption is prevailing to great extent at Riga, Russia. The reports from this country only show a slight scattering of such contagious dis eases as diphtheria, scarlet fever and few cases of smallpox.

Wilkins Proverbs.
Whitehall Times

WhitchaiI lliueS.
 False to myself, faults to others.
 Few pockets are able to stand loan. The block-head factory runs on fool time.
 To become rich requires much purse verance.
 Modern religion is divided into dollars and saints.
 Men who get inquisitive wives, obtain the pry-siss.
 Whom the Almighty deprives of sense. he often gives dollars.
 When the devil fishes for gudgeons he baits his hook with tlauey.
 Many bad men rest the lever of hy- pocrisy upon the fulcram of deceit to raise the devil.
 Misery loves company. but it must be d company that is dead broke and ready to jump town.
 A character is much like a kite. Un- less held by the string of good ludg- ment and ballasted with common sense II will dive to destruction.

Eccentricities in Art. fNew York News1

One of the cleverest satires on the im- pressionists 1 ever heard of was |" La Cigale." farce produced in Paris some years back. The hero is an impression istic painter. You see him in hts studio, surrounded by monstrosities, paste daubs, and smears of absolutely no lntelligibility surround him in chaotic confusion. He displays them to a poor picture buyer. One immense canvas is covered with dirty yellew paint. The ony object visible and comprehensible in it is huge knife in the background.
 "Very fne," says the visitor dubiously, " but what is it 7"
 That, my dear sir" answered the painter, is London fog"
 "Ah to be sure. But pardon me The knife there, eh y'
 "That is to express the quality of the to show that it is thick enough to be cut don't you see !'
 Another eccentricity of genius is a can vas across one-half of which is a flat smear of vermilion, while the other hall IS similarly decorated with indigo.
 Now, there," says the painter, " is my greatest work. It is my chef d'aeuvre '
 indeed! Very fine 1t IS, too. But pardon me. am not an artist, you know, and look to you for information T
 Certainly, certainly"
 Now, what does that picture repre- sent!'
 "What. Is it possible that you do not recognize the ocean. with its sunset sky suffused with blood, and the grea, dark sea rolling beneath in all its inn mensity?'
 "To be sure. Fine-very fine, in- deed"
 .' But that is not the best of it. That picture is really two pictures in one. All you have to do is to turn it upside down. Now look at it."
 Wonderful! Wonderful But, really you must excuse me if
 What! Do you not see 1t 7"
 We'll, the fact is, am little near sighted"
 Why, 1t is the desert-the vast and melancholy desert, with its blue sky above and its red sand below"
 This is very extravagant, isn't 1t :: Yet, at the last water-color exhibition, one of our artist, spent half an hour in ecstatic admiration of one of Curriers' s contributions which was standing upside down."
 There is another hit in La Cigale '' which is too good to be passed by. A canvas IS shown which has no meaning whatever. It is simply one diabolical and incoherent smear. The visitors asks what i, is. The painter is in qua dary. He absolutely does not understand it himself. Suddenly an idea Eliminates him.
 The name must be on the back" he says.
 The visitor turns it and reads
 A landscape
 Ah.' says the painter, with sigh of relief. That's it. It is landscape"
 And he proceeds 10 expatiate on it's beauties.

4 Few Cheap rrippers.

Kasity Fair, an English weekly pub licaiion, goes for the Americans who visit England, in lively, but altogether un- fair manner, condemning the whole American nation as vulgar, impertinent, low-bred, and so on, because few indi- viduals, visiting England with some of the cheap excusions, conduct themselves in a manner distasteful to the writer in
 panffy Fafy, who evidently has not met any of the better class of Americans in England who are very highly spoken of by people who move in a much higher social atmosphere than Fanify Eair's correspondent appears to do, and oi whom MT. Labouchere,.a man who is likely to know whereof he writes. speaks in most fiattering terms Tn 7yHfA, his opinion being that of the majority of the class of English people whose opinion is worth noticing. It would be just as fair for the Americans to take. as specimens of the English nation, those irrepressibly vulgar coekneys or those mushroom " gents ' who so constantly talk about the superiority of things at 'ome, who visit America and make themselves objection able wherever they go, and on their ac- count, condemn the entire English race
 The Englishmen who come out here and talk loudest about their aris,ocra,ic rela- tions at home are generally dead-beats and frauds Of the first water and the truth IS not in them, and as a rule, they have left their country for their county's good, and anyone who knows anything at all can sec through them and their preten- sions at glance. An American gentle man is fine fellow, and it is hard lines to class all Americans as vulgar and so on, because a few cheap trippers don | know how to behave themselves abroad.

How Texan Go, Even With She ridan
Philadelphia Times

rhilauetphia lines.
 The talk turned on Texas, and Sheridan was asked the origin of the saying attrib- uted to him '' If l owned hell and Texas, I'd rent Texas out and live in hell. |" It's true" he said, laughing heartily: and I'll tell you how came to say 1t. ] was in Texas when civil war was raging be- tween the Mexicans, under Jaurez, and the French under Maximilliarf. l went down on the Rio Grande, with an under standing with the American authorities to scare the French. was there engaged with strategetic movements intended to frighten the French for some days. Then we rode to Galveston. Arriving there hot. dusty and dirty, after long days ride, having had TO change of clothing for week, was disgusted with every thing in the world. stepped up to the hotel register, wrote my name, and jus, then a man spoke to me and said Gen. eral. how do you like Texas p and in the intensity of disgust gave him for answer what you have quoted. Next morning il was in Galveston paper-the shortest interview you have ever read. The man l had talked so frankly to was a newspa- per reporter"
 '' But there was one fellow continued sheridan, who got even with me for it. de was the editor of hardy little coun- try paper in border county. He cop led the saying:

The Anheuser-Busch beer has been on the market for years and has gained for 1t self reputation for purity and whole someness which the rapidly increasing demand sustains. This beer vas awarded gold medals at the Centennial Exposition in 1876 and at the Paris Exposition in 1878, and the vast quantity produced and shipped annually by the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association of St. Louis is an evidence of the universal esteem in which their beer is held. Changes of climate, and other influences which tend to make some other brands of beer uawholesome have no effect on the Anheuser- Busch. It is shipped 10 every country on the globe where beer is used as a beverage, retaining its strength and wholesomeness in any latitude.
 The extensive beer and ice depot re- gently completed in this city by the An- heaser-Busch Brewing Association is placed here for the convenience of their Arkansaw trade; that shipments may be made more promptly and to make closer their business relations with their patrons in this state Dealers should bear these facts in mind and supply their trade with only the Anheuser- Busch beer.
