Consul Mason, of Marseiles, sends an
official statement that medical science and
sanitary skill have made but little progress
in dealing with Asiatic cholera. The press
dispatches show that the epidemic is slowly
spreading over France and Italy, while 2ot
persons in Lancashire have been attacked by
what is known as English cholera.
The latest novelty in the show business
is an exhibition of nosea, which has recently
been held in Austria Eighty persons com
peted for the prize offered for the most extra
ordinary nasal protuberance in form, size
and color. 1t IVES awarded to a competitor
from Vienna, who is tine possesSor of what Is
said to be gigantic nose of deep violet blue,

Matrimonial Markets.

The tendency of modern times is for
a man who is thinking of taking a wife to
ask not whatshe is, but what she has. In
this important detail widows generally
possess the advantage. Very few are
left totally unprovided for-the skull
and crossbones have generally been gilt
for them, even if thiniy; for in every
class of life q man of common deeency
tries to do at least something for his
widow, if he is doomed to have one-or
to leave one would perhaps be'the more
accurate expression. The old chivairous
DAYS when lovesick SWANS made sonnets
to their mistress eyebrows, and were
ready to face any straits of poverty or
danger, provided only they won the
heart of some fair maid, have long since
passed away; the majority of men do
not appreciate the idylic beauty of love
in cottage, and strive to add by mar
rage to their comfort and position,
rather than to imperil either, ever so
slightly, for the sake of the woman they
love.
They have keen eye for bargains,
and if they can only secure one In the
matrimonial market they have no objec-
ton to its being secondhand. 1t is
comparatively exceptional for young
girl to bring substantial dowry to her
husband; she may be an heiress, but the
waiting may be long.
But in the case of well-to-do widow
the pecuniary advantages for her second
husband are immediate and tangible.
She is mistress of her fortune, and
the lucky winner of her secondhand
affections can enter at once into the en-
joyment of the solid possessions which
enhance the attractions of his inamo-
rata, or, it may be, atone for her short
comings. Widows are always consid-
cred excellent game by fortune hunters
for this reason, and the majority OF
widows who Bemsrry find their 70
mances end very prosaically. For, be
it said, it is often marriage of entire
affection which is made by a widow

are two ends to be served by i.-one the
protection OF the land against the Uni.ei
States, aud 'hs other the sale Of lands.
There is still another end, and very i'm
portant end as far a, the United States
is concerned, which end seems to have
been entirely overlooked BY the Sun.
Manitobs anl the country Of the North
rest generally is gaining very high rep
usa,ion as a grain producing country. Ea-
gland believes IN encouraging IN her col
onies the production Of all that she her
sell needs, and in consequence looks with
great favor on the srsin- growers OF Cana
da The gram # ;he nnr,swes. must

say to IFS final destination and IN 81 do
ing must pay tribute to this country.
With the Canadian Paciii, raihUad in
operation, grain could be transported di-
recily to the English markets, without
coming into contact with America The
construction Of such a railroad would act
as great stimulus to :he country above
the line, which would at once become 4
very serious rival to the United States.

We are indebted to Col W. ". Delacy,
Of Helena Montana, fer an explanation Of

He says the French voysgaers found
among them one Indian who was very
stingy, and they said he had a heart no,
larger than the point Of an awl. The
French for this was contracted into
"Ceur d'A!ene." "Awl.hearted;" which
vas at length applied to the whole Tribe.
