There has not been single case of cholera
in New York since 1866, or possibly in the
following summer. There have been several
cases OF so-called cholera, but upon a close
investigation they have been found every
time to be simply acute attacks of cholera

The Generals.

Speaking of some conspicuous figures in the late war, the Boston Advertisers correspondent in the city of Washington says: Sherman is 64, and looks older; but the family is hardy, and he is likely to see 1900. Sheridan is only 51; he was major general at 30. Mcclellan, now round man with bending shoul- ders, has not changed much of late. He is rich, and entertains we'll in his New York city home. Rosecrans and his wife live, almost unnoticed, on Capitol Hill while he is here as 8 member of Congress from California. His com plexion is like youths and his hair as white as snow. Hawley and Logan arc the other two most distinguished gen. erals in Congress. Both are 57 years old, but neither has gray hair. Rose crans will be re- enforced this winter by an old companion in the Western armies, General Slocum, of Brooklyn. General Sickles is practicing law in New York, and Stoneman is Governor of California. Fremont is no longer rich. He and his wife, Jessie Benton Fremont, are for. gotten in crowded New York. Don Carlos Buell. runs an iron furnance ir Kentucky; Banks is a United States Marshal. Terry, the youngest of the brigadiers who won fame in the war will succeed Sheridan in the command of the army"

Too Much Politics.

A Philadelphia paper says that one of the clerks employed in the Post Office of that city received on Tuesday morning this letter from Postmaster Huidekoper: 'I am informed that there is consider able discussion of political and other matters which do not pertain in any way to Post Office business during the time when you are on duty, and that you are one of the principal disputants. This being the case I do not consider that your services are worth $500 per annum, and unless I am satisfied that you to- tally refrain in the future from discus sing all matters not connected with the regular business which may arise in the course of your duty, you may expect you salary to be at the rate of $6O0 per annum."

Love and the. Mails.

The Memphis .A0alnache tells this little story: A pretty little romance was outlined before Judge Hammond on his recent trip to Jackson, where he held court for about week. It illus trates the fact that young love is usually blind, and that the lover of tender years is really very daring fellow, who fan cies himself like Joey B. "Sly, sir, devilish sly." A handsome and high spirited young fellow named J. T. Will jams has very pretty sweetheart iv- ing near Jackson, to whom he wished to send handsome boquet. The choicest flowers in the field were secured by him, and @ fragrant and beautiful bouquet, such as would awaken the ten derest emotions in 8 young girls breast, was the result. He sent the bouquet through the mails as merchandise or fourth class matter; but, alas he made one fatal mistake. Concealed among the roses he placed note, which was written in way not intended for any eyes but those of the young lady. The flowers of course passed through the hands of Satanic postmaster. Natu- rally he was attracted by their beauty and his senses were lulled by their deli cious odor. While he was critically ex- amining Flora's beautiful offerings he noticed the end of the letter peeping out from its bed of roses. He pulled it from it's hiding place, opened 1t and de- voured its contents. Now, instead of keeping the secret with himself, that diabolical United States official forgot the romance of his youth and the care- lessness of love's young dream, and saw nothing in the circumstances but a vio- lation of the postal laws, which provide that no writing of any kind shall be sent with merchandise. Accordingly he had young Williams arrested, and while Judge Hammond was in Jackson the trial came of. It is said that the hand some Federal Judge, who is not without touch of romance in his composition, had hard time wrestling with the judi cial problem before him. This was something novel in the law, and all his native sympathies were with the boy. Williams pleaded guilty, and the judge picked out the very lowest fine pre- scribed by the statute, namely $1O, and imposed it. This is the first instance on record of lover having to pay fine for concealing letter in bouquet. Young Williams said he did not mind paying postage or the ten dollars fine,
 but he disliked intensely to have his letter read. The case aroused great in
 terest in Jackson, and the general senti- ment there was that President Arthur ought to bounco that postmaster ill
 stanter.

Black Furs.

Sacaues of Persian lamb-skin, of glos- sy black closely curled fleece, Harpers Basar tells us, are made in the shape of seal-skin sacques, partly fitted, double breasted, and without borders. This fur is too tender to be used for tight fitting jackets; it will, however, be very fashionable for pelerines, capes, caps, muffs, and above all for trimming cloth dresses and cloaks. The Astrakhan skins are also closely curled, but have less silky lustre than the Persian just noted. Russian lamb-skin has very long wavy fleece, with more lustre than Astra- khan; all these furs find their best use as trimmings, not for black garments alone, but also for colored cloths, espec- ially for green and blue cloth suits; they may be only two inches wide, or they may be six inches in width, and they cost from $2.50 to $12 yard, according to their quality and width. Black fox fur is we'll known for its long silky fleece, and will be much used in capes, collars, nluffs, and trimmings, and there are quaintly shaped turbans of this fur with merely round crown for the foundation, and the long fleece falling over its edge as brim. Three inches on the pelt is good width for this fur when used as trimming. Black mar ten is still in great favor, as it is now thoroughly deodorized, and is one of the strongest furs; it is used in capes, col lars, and muffs, and as border for some of the finest seal or velvet cloaks. The black Russian hare is the prettiest inexpensive fur border, as it may be had in narrow widths at $1.10 yard, and there are warm and useful capes of this fur for $6.OO, and muffs to match for $3. .50.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

It will be apparent to any one, who will OK. anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that asid, rom the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the precious metal used, is needed not only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surF Jus gold is actually needless so far as uTII ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME soLIDrrY AND STRENGTH produced al from one-third to one half of tho usual cost o, solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: plate of nickle compost ton metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on eaoh side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is striI of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gole in these cases is sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

LOSING A PRISONER.
A Little Incident of the Late Unpleasant-
 

Thomas B. Love, of Hill County, Tex, was Confederate Soldier under Brig Gen. Lyons, and while the command was on the march in Western Kentucky, in the winter of 1865, a Federal, who turned out to be 8 notorious spy and bushwhacker, was captured. After the command went into camp for the night the prisoner was sentenced to die next morning. Love came on guard at 8 o'clock, and the rest of the story is given in his own words:
 By this time all were sound asleep, as the men were thoroughly worn out. The prisoner and sat on opposite sides of the fire. An hour passed and not word was spoken between us. He seemed all the while thinking of the morrow, know ing full we'll that if he ever saw the sun rise Q prisoner it would be his last day on earth. I was only IF years old and 8 little reckless, but strict to obey orders.
 Ihad no pity for him, and perhaps he realized this and was silent. The pris- oner sat beside post or stump, some times leaning against it, and the distance between us was not over eight feet.
 About o'clock comrade, who had been out foraging, returned and emptied a bag of apples just behind me. turned partly around to pick up one and as I turned back did not look directly at the prisoner, for was certain he was all right, I having heard no sound to arouse my suspicious to the contrary. As my side was to him when I picked up the apples, he must have stolen away as noiselessly as shadow, as soon as he caught my eyes off of him. I can now imagine that he went on 2:40 gait. I went on eating my apples, certain that the post he was sitting by was the pris- oner himself and all right.
 suppose fifteen minutes had passed whilst eating apples. About this time our captain had occasion to get up. He noticed that the prisoner was not there and asked me where he was. I almost jumped out of my boots-mute with as- tonishment-when I realized what had happened, and my tongue almost became paralyzed. The captain motioned me to be still. I finally asked him what on earth would do, knowing full we'll what 8 stern general we had when duty called for 1t, notwithstanding he carried great big heart and none of us but would have died for him in moment. The captain was satisfied that had not purposely lei the prisoner escape, so he told me te take out pair of my pistols and go u1 a creek that run through the lot ani away from the house, and fire as fast a. I could, yelling halt halt halt Yor may believe I obeyed orders promptl, that time. The prisoner had been gone l suppose, at least twenty minutes. Tn, firing raised Old Harry; all were up ant ill arms ill an instant, thinking the Fed erals were in camp. The general cam
