THE cholera news from Europe Is
most distressing and terrible, In Ma
Piles 500 now cases were reported in one
day, aud 800 deaths. 1t is said these re-
ports do not embrace nearly all that are
sick and dying. For the same day 62S
new cases were reported in Italy and 27j
deaths. The day following the one men
toned above, there were 72i new cases
reported in Naples, and since the out
break of the disease, there, the inter
ments reported number over LOO. 1t Is
said the authorities there are unable Ia
supply hospitals and medical attention
to tho stricken, and the sick are left
abandoned on the streets, and even nc
measures can bo taken to remove and
bury the dead. The plague is spreading
all over Southern Europe, and it would
seem almost an impossibility to keep il
from entering localities further north
1t would be hoping against hope almos
to say it viii not visit England, and il
all probability, America. There is NJ
instance on record where IL has failed t,
cross the ocean after becoming epidemi,
in Europe. The people of this country
will act wisely if they prepare for its adj
vent here, and offer up thanks if il fail,
to reach our shores.
