ETU1n the St. James Gazette.
The cholera killed large number Of victims
In Egypt, but there cannot be doubt that it
has saved many lives in England Some inter-
esting evidence on this point was given at the
meeting of the City Commissioners of Sewers on
Tuesday. DR.. Sedgwick Saunders, the medical
oncer OF health, after reporting that steps
mad been taken to:prevent the Introduction
OF cholera into the city, stated that the
record of sickness and death showed q
very remarkable dminution in point of num-
bers as compared with the experience of
corresponding periods during the last ten years.
A general house-to-hOuse visitation had been
made, the sewers and gullies had been disinfect-
ed, and the courts and alleys flushed. The re-
suit had been fewer complaints, moderate reg
lister OF sickness, and a death-rate lower than
had ever been known before. The fear OF a Wis
ltation OF cholera having now subsidized, all the
sanitary precautions that were taken to meet
such an emergency will be discontinued,
as 3 matter Of course; but the effect of the very
little that was done for the preservation Of the
public health on this occasion is satisfactory, as
showing that the waste of life ever going
on around us is wholly unnecessary. and NAV
be checked at any moment by simple obedience
to the laws of nature.

THE COMING PET.
Angoro Cafs Becoming EashiOnabl,
Again.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Are Angora cats getting to be fashionable
Ior pets:" asked a reporter of an east side
dealer
'Oh. yes, indeed, was the reply ''within the
last month the demand has been quite large, and
strange to say sell as many by mail as 1 do in
the city. Only yesterday sent one to New Or
leans and last week one to Chicago. They seem
to be rapidly taking the place OF pugs. Come in
and see the cats.
So saying, the reporter was shown into a
room where dozen or more animals with long
tails and hair sweeping the floor were PLAYING
together or sleeping on hair cushions. Some
were white. some tortoise and others mouse
c0lored, or blue, in the parlance of the trade.
There are also black and chnchila cats ="
said the dealer These blue ones are the
rarest, but the white cats seem to be the great
est favorites. Some people maintain that only
the white cats are the pure breed, but that is
not so, as quite frequently white cats will have
different cOlored kittens"
What is the most valuable cat you have?" ,
rms large white Tom is the most expensive;
ne is worth $50. The other cats are worth from
Eau TO $50. The kittens are worth $50 for the
males and Sl5 for the females"
The dealer then explained the difference be-
tween the AngOra and the Persian cats which
is very slight, the Persians having a longer face
and larger ears. The animals are very delicate.

the chief enemies of the feline kind Each cat

While the Man Who Takes Your Umbrella has

Man Who Leaves the Door Open. He comes to
the Office on various ostensible errands in fact,
on about every known excepting to
settle Dlll-but always his actual purpose
Is to 60 away leaving wide open the portal
through which the autumnal zephyrs come
cavorting with glacial GOODNESS. and bearing in
their chaste embrace full many token Of the
pervasive dust from which we sprang and to
which we shall return. It does no good to bawl
after him to shut the door. Oh. no. He is
meandering adown the sunny street. watching
the white winged clouds playing tag in the deep
smiling heavens. But as We lay down the pen,
and push back the chair, and walk to the door
and close 1t softly and pensiyely, ana then stood
to gather up the scattered papers that have been
whirled about our feet like fading forest leaves,
the blessed Serosch whispers promises of good
time coming, and we are cOnsoled with conf
dence that In that bright dawning era our au-
tumn days win be free from carking care, for
the Man Who Leaves the Door Open must 60.

THE LATE ALEX. II. STEPHENS.

of all the prominent men who have
died since this apparently fatal year of
1888 came in, not one will present to the
historions twenty years hence, greater
or more difficult problem than Alexander
Ii. Stephens. His living to good old
age at all was almost miracle. Who
ever once gazed on the slight, attenuated
and dwarf-like form of Mr.. Stephens,
especially when he was carried about in
the arms of his faithful attendant, will
never forget the impressions made on his
mind by such an exposure of an almost
disembedied intellect. The superiority
and mastery of will and spirit over mat
ter were never better illustrated than in
the incredible performances, in State and
national politics and legislation, which
stand to the credit of Mr.. Stephens. To
look at this dwarf skeleton-whose sole
redeeming feature was pair of eyes
that had unlimited latent faculties of
expression and fire, play and pathos-
while from its portals of speech came out
endless logic. anecdote, humor, reminis
cence, law aud history. was to receive
fresh inspiration as to the immortality
of the soul and its independence of mat

CONGRESS ADJOURNS.

The last session of the Forty seventh
Congress expired on Sunday at noon.
During its closing hours, George F. Ed,
munds; of Vermont, was elected Presi-
dent pro tempore Of the Senate to sue
coed David Davis, resigned. Mr.. Bayard
receiving the compliment of the Demo
cratic nomination. The Tax-Tarif bill
was passed by the House. by vote of
152 yeas to Is nays. All the General
Appropriation bills were passed, but the
River and Harbor bill failed in the Sen
ate. 1t was reported without recon-
mendation by the Committee on Com.
MERGE, and smothered to death by the
adoption of motion to have it printed
and laid on the table until tomorrow
The Senate and House remained in con.
tinuous session, excepting short recesses
from Saturday night until the hour of
adjournment on Sunday. The proceed
ings in the House during the early morn
in. hours were such as to justify re-
mark made by one of the members, a.
propos of an attempt to call up the
Bonded Extension bill, that ''too much
whiskey had already been taken out of
bond"
The provisions of the Tax-Tarff bill
will generally 60 into effect on July LIST.
Exception. however, is made in regard to
the tariff duties on sugar, which will tax e
effect on June LIST, and the reduction of
the taxes on tobacco, snuff and cigars,
and the reduction of the special license
taxes which will 60 into effect on May
LIST, 1t is provided in the bill that 'all
claims for drawback on unbroken pack
ages Of tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigar
cites, held by manufacturers or dealers
at that date. must be presented before
July 1st.' The abolition of the tax on
matches and the check and other bank
obligation also takes effect July 1st next.
Ten thousand six hundred and seventy
bills and joint resolutions were intro.
duced in the Forty seventh Congress
S01S in the House and 2G52 in the Senate.
During the session just closed, besides
the regular annual appropriation bills.
1G3 bills and joint resolutions passed both
Houses. The aggregate amount appro-
priated by the appropriation bills is s219
81, 511. The aggregate of last years
appropriations was 1919, 367, 0S3.
The River and Harbor bill, appropriate
ing sS,047, 600, was strangled in the Sem
ate by a motion to lay on the table upon
the last day of the session.
