There seems to be no doubt that dis ease which has appeared in France is Asiatic cholera. Deaths at Marseilles con- tinue to increass, and the disease has spread to Northern Italy. In that country it is likely to develop more rapidly than in France. A mild panic prevails in Eu- rope on the subject, and, unfortunately, not without reason. Too much care can not be exercised at ports of entry on this side

THE two illustrated comic papers, The Judge and Puck, have taken opposite sides, Puck being anti-Blaine, and The Judge pro-Blaine. Puck excels in typography, but The Judge makes the liveliest reading, its witticisms being less obscure. Of course The Judge is so far at disadvan- tage, having no opposing candidate to car feature.

Another series Of the ox.detective cases
occupied tho attention Of Judge Wylie In the
criminal court last Saturday, being those in
which misconduct in office and violation of
session 357 of the revised statutes was
charged. As tho decision in one will stand
for all, it was decided 10 hear but one, and
that against George w. McElfresh was taken
up. District Attorney Worthngton appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. a. B. Williams
for the defendant. These two gentlemen
argued the only point involved, which was
whether there WAS any such crime known to
the law as misbohavior in oliico, and whether
there was any further punishment for 1t than
simply removing the offender from his Office.
Mr.. Williams taking the ground that the in
dictmGut set up an ollcnse not known TO the
law, wanted the cases thrown out Of court.
Judge Wylie declined TO do that, and said
there should bo trial, but ho wanted 1t uu-
derstood that he was not committed to tho
position in regard to tho law taken by the
prosecution.
Mr.. Worthington asked that tho case of
Thomas Dunn be set for trial on June 25. 1t

trying to reform, and was working indus

led a sober industrious life, was connected
with the Virginia Brick Machine company,
and was working hard to support his five
children.
well, I will not press any man into tho
penitentiary," said Judge Wylie, who is
steady and trying to reform"
Mr.. Williams said that this was case
which would strongly appeal to the loniency
of the court, and he did not think the dis
trict attorney, if he had been acquainted with
all of the circumstances, would have pressed
for n trial.
Judge Wylie said that the testimony at
the former trial showed that this man had
been pursued by men worse than himself, and
no was not disposed under the circumstances
to call him away in the season of his work to
stand trial. He thought it best that the trial
should go over until fall and as the counsel
could not agree on a day for trial that order
was made.
