How Cholera Travels.

The departure from England for this
country of cargoes of rags loaded at Egyptian
ports since the cholera appeared in that
land has been made known to the Secretary
of the Treasury by Consul General Pack
ard, and means will be taken to prevent the
dissemination of the infected material. The
Secretary of the Treasury has instructed the
Collector of Boston to take all necessary
means to guard the public health in view of
the shipment from Liverpool on steamer
bound TO Boston of many bales of such rags.
The Egyptians are not at all particular
about destroying the clothing of the sick and
the dead. They sell it for what it will fetch
and all rags which have come out of the
storehouses of that country since the cpl
demic broke out are reasonably subject to
suspicion. The opinion of scieti6c men
now is that the cholera is propagated
through germs in the excreta of those who
have it. The London Lancet says:
What we assert is that medicine as preventive
art in its dealings with the germs of disease ought
to be able to grapple instantly and successfully
with cholera. We know that it is propagated solely
through excreta and that water is the great carrier
of the infective germs Obviously if the excreta of
cholera patient allowed to dry in contact with
the air, they may float away in the atmosphere, and
the air will then become infected; but in primary
sense it is the water to which must look. In any
case it has been demonstrated that provided all the
excreta from cholera patient are instantly de-
stroyed-not merely disinfected-the disease will
not spread. The malady can no more develop de
moro than plant can grow without seed. 1t is no
use waiting until the disease has effected Judgment
In cur midst If choleraic deecta have passed into
the before the nature of the disease has been
recognized, is most likely happen the seed has
been already broadcast, and the production Of
crop of cases in some locality it may be seeming
ly far from the first case, but in connection with it
will be inevitable.
The rags which come from places where
the cholera exists are sliable to be infected
with these genus, Tor in the eastern nations
the disease is not fought with scientific
knowledge and the excreta are not de-
stroyed, but suffered to contaminate cloth
ing, earth, air, and water. The germ itself
has thus far eluded discovery, but there is
no reasonable ground upon which to dispute
the theories of those who have given most
attention 10 tie phenomena attending the
ravages Of the plague. In 1878 the city
Dantzic as far as it was severed escaped en-
tirely while the disease was especially ma
lignant in all the villages about. Lyons
which is on the route of commerce from
eastern ports has generally escaped the chol-
era when Marseiles and Paris have suffered
severely.

cities were attacked; but it behooves US to
be wa,chful to avoid conditions which

a WHITES TROUBLE.

For number years my wife has been troubled
with chronic rheumatism, it being in some portion
OF her body constantly except perhaps in the very
warmest weather in summer). Last Christmas she
contracted very severe cold, and diseased con-
dition of the kidneys became manifest, which snb-
jected her to excessive suffering, as the symptoms
of gravel became more prominent, her mine being
eolored, accompanied by heavy brick-dust sedi
ment.
After trying several remedies without relief, |
procured for her bottle Of Hunts Remedy, which
she commenced taking, and before three days had
passed she became much better. She continued u.s.
ng the medicine until she had used six bottles and
now feels entirely cured of both rheumatism and
kidney complaint. She believes her present excel
lent health due solely TO the use OF Hunts Remedy

SENATOR BUTLER of South Carolina is IL
able to be regarded as no wiser than he
should be if he makes many more such alb
surd statements as were made by him at a
meeting of the State Grange and Agricul-
tural Society, reported in our dispatches
Saturday. 1t is encouraging to see that
there were farmers present who did not hes
itate to contradict both the alleged facts and
the differences of the Senator who was both
Ignorant and absurd.s A person who desires
to bring 100000 Mormons into his State must
take very partial view of Mormonism-an
agricultural view rather than religious and
social view. But perhaps it would not be
easy to persuade Mormons to settle in South
Carolina. The immigration commissioners
are not very successful in inducing those
who come to America from other lands to
seek homes in that State. The probability
is that Senator Butler does not like the ne
groes because they do not vote to suit him,
and has hopes of better success with Nor
mons. Just now they do not like Republi-
cans very well. A Republican Congress
passed the Edmunds bill.

The Nashville American, a Democratic
journal does not accept Mr.. Wat,erson's
dogmas on the Tariff question. 1t saws:
San essential to Southern prosperity, now
coming to be generally appreciated through
out the section, is diversified industries.
The revolution in our labor system makes
this imperative. Our agriculturists are al
ready realizing the profits OF home market
following the manufacturing development
now inaugurated. Why should not the
South protest against any political interfer-
ence with that development upon which its
future prosperity depends9 Why should not
the Sonth favor such an adjustment of the
tariff that its application will encourage
productive industries at home.'

Twenty.Seyen Barges Start Down on
Their Own Account.
PIrTsBUIGH, April 1.-Shortly after l
o'clock yesterday afternoon twenty-seven
barees, loaded with coal, broke loose from
their moorings, on the Monongahela river,
below the Smithfield street bridge. They
belonged to Joseph Walton & Co. The river
rose very rapidly all day, and the current
was very swift. The boats hoated very
rapdly down the stream. Upon arriving
at the point of the bridge they collided
with fleet of barges, number OF which
belonged to Sneathen Il Wilson. The whole
feet was taken away. Just below the bridge
several heavy barges struck the steamer
Abe Hays, causing it to sink. The persons
on board narrowly escaped with their
lives. The cook was badly crushed, and
was rescued with difficulty. The loaded
barges each contain 10000 bushels of coal.
Seven tow boats were sent after the coal
feet as soon as possible. The Dick Fulton
was lying at Grey's Landing when the
Walton fleet came down and caught the
Abe Hays, which tried to pass between
the fleet and the Fulton. The Hays was
turned completely over, but afterward
righted herself and then sunk. The crew
saved themselves by jumping upon the
0'Neil feet.
There are seven coal boats, averaging
from $4,000 to $4,000 bushels each, that are
missing. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage anu loss, but it will reach in the
neighborhood OF slOO,0G1. The following
boats fortunately had up steam when the
fleet broke from its moorings, and went in
pursuit Dick Fulton, Tide, Kangaroo,
Veteran, Hornet and Joe Gold.
