endemic in Egypt. The result of the

epidemic in Egypt. The result of the
inquiry of Dr. Koch, the disccyerer of
the parasitic and infectious nature of
pulmonary consumption, has been to
oyerturn nearly all previous theories
of cholera. The investigation proved
that cholera is due to living micro
scopic parasite, an infnitesimal organ
ism, inhabiting the blood, and COM
munlcable from one person
to another. In the same manner
as yellow fever has been proven
by "a Brazilian physician to be due to a
microscopic bacillus, or living organ
ism, also inhabiting the blood, and
capable of communicating the disease
even from the grave of diseased pa
tient, a year after sepultere. Cholera
has thus been proven to be conta-
gious and infectious disease, the same
as small pox. This fact seems to be
guiding the nations on the Mediter-
ranean now threatened, in their efforts
to ward off the ravages of the malady
now prevailing at Toulon. Quaran-
tine seems to ne the chief reliance, and
they are right according to
the discoveries of the German
savan above alluded to. The cleaning
up" and publication of towns lying in
the path of this pestilene, while tend
ing to mitigate and minimize an cpl
demic, has about as much effect in
keeping off the contagion of cholera
or yellow fever, as cleansing and pu.
rifying house would have in pre-
venting its inmates from catching the
small pox. In fact, the tendency OF
scientific opinion, of late years, has
been towards absolute non-inter.
course as constituting the chief
means of safety from such maladies
as cholera and yellow fever.

TIE San Antonio Times and an
afternoon paper published in this city,
have stated that Judge Terrell was
engaged in writing editorials for the
STATESMAN. This is absolutely
false, and those who make the state
ment know it to be false. Judge Ter
rell has never written a line of ed
itorial for the STATESMAN, nor has
he ever, at any time, attempted to IN
spire or influence the course of this
paper on any subject The editorials
of this paper are written by parties
directly connected with it, and en-
ployed by it, and are inspired by no
outside influences.
ONE can not but wonder how it is
that the stately and scholarly editor
of the Houston journal can win his
own consent to copy the offensive and
brutal personalities of an obscure
paper, regarding the STATESMAN, and
10 it without one word of dissent or
d'sapproval That may be one cause
OF the very evident prosperity of the

A Story OF Emma Abbott

When Col. Baldwin, editor of the
Jomndi, came to Peoria, he taught
school. II was in his capacity Ms peda.
gogue that he first met Emma Abbott,
Tor she was one of his pupils. He says
she was not proficient scholar, because
she neglected her studies and was al.
ways drumming an old guitar, which
she had got possession Of by some
means or other; but, he remembers
that, even in her childhood, Emma was
an adept in tlattery, or rs he now puts
it, IA daisy on taffy." He tells in illus.
tration of this, story to the effect that
ne announced one day that he would
have to punish Emma for some violation
of the rules. While he was searching
for his ferule, Emma stood in tho mid

How Ships Wear Out.

American built ships, m old sailor
says, last eighteen years. In France it is
twenty-five, Great Britain twenty-six,
Italy twenty.eight, and in Norway
thirty years. There are some mighty
curious things about wrecks, let me tell
you. From 1864 to 1874 900 vessels
were wrecked during dead Gains, 800 in
light airs, l,OlO in light breezes, 405 in
gentle breezes, 1,GS9 in moderate
breezes, 2, l3l in fresh breezes, 1899 in
strong breezes, 9l9 in moderate gales,
l,O2O in fresh gales, 1920 in strong
gales, 1921 in whole gales, 1878 in
storms, and 666 in hurricanes. Besides
all these, $50 others sailed away from
Port and were blotted out, leaving no
one to tell how or when or where. Why,
In one month, last February, u9 vessels
were lost, Of which the fate of IA was
unknown.
Speaking Of ships, the old sailor adds =.

chances are that tho ambitious captain

A Floral Display.

At the funeral of H. @. Atkins, a we'll
known railroad man of Milwaukee, the
floral display was the finest ever seen
there. One of the designs consisted OF
floral train of cars complete in all ap-
pointments, with locomotive at the head
of the train. The rear car is disappear
ing within tunnel, while two coaches
and the locomotive have passed through.
Tho train rests upon track of flowers
laid upon floral ties. This elaborate and
elegant design was furnished by the rail
road men.
Another design Of great beauty was q
aoral locomotive passing through q tun-
mel. Other emblems, represe nting the
"Gates Ajar," broken car wheels, pil.
lows, broken columns and various other
appropriate designs, constructed of the
rarest flowers, ard signifying the honor
and esteem in which the deceased was
held by the railroad men and citizens
generally.
