AT MARsEILLEs.
Marseilles, July 8. Three deaths from
cholera are reported since last night. Al
least 600 inhabitants have fad. Four hun
dred OR wurkmen from Toulon were sent
back 10 that city. The panic is unques-
tionably increasing. In the face of this,
however, the physicians and chemists oil
the city held a meeting and declared the
alarm senseIess. The rate of mortality at
present, they aver, does not exceed that
which is usual at periods of great heat.
They express the belief that many deaths
attributed TO cholera were really due to
other causes. The municipal authorities
have decided to forego the customary cele-
bration July 4th.
PREPARATIONS AT PARIS.

A Plea for Right.

The following circular from Cooper
county democrats is sufficiently clear to
explain itself:
COOPER COUNTY, Mo. june 81, 1884.
We, the undersigned, ex-Confederate
soldiers and citizens of Cooper county, Mo.
having noticed certain charges made In the
public press of this congressional district,
imputipg TO the Hon. John COsgrove, SEN
timents of dislike and i'll will for south
ern people, hereby beg leave OF all fair
minded men, TO offer, on our own positive
knowledge, an earnest, emphatic and I'M
qualified contradiction Fl said charges.
We have known Mr.. COsgrOve long and
intimately and his political history and ut
terance since he has lived in this county
nave been very familiar to us, and we do
most unhesitatingly state that in our
humble judgment, such ignoble sentiments
OF prejudice against southern people or
against the people of any other section OF
our common country, are wholly foreign
and unknown to him. II he had ever
harbored such unworthy sentiments, il is
but fair to presume the fact would have
been disclosed to us during our long and
intimate political association with him.
We are constrained to make this statement
because we believe Mr.. Cosgrove has been
grieyously wronged by the circulation OF
said charges.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 3.-The de.

highly encouring outlook in the province.
The weather during the seeding was favor
bic for continuous and rapid work. The
season is fully ten days ahead of last year.
May and the early part OF June was dry
but there was ample rain during the latter
part of June. The spring wheat area is
increased forty per cent over last year.
Wheat is doing well throughout the pro-
vince and territories. The oats area is in.
creased forty per cent. The yield is ey-
pecled to be small owing to bad seed.

The pelican feeds its young with the
lifc-blood from its own bleeding bosom. ;"
This is a beautiful mistake that will live
forever in symbol and legend. The real
live pelican has large bag under her I'M
wieldiy beak, and digging with the beak
toward the breast. she feeds her brood and
soils her feathers with red-stained tid-bits
of fish from the bag. THE nightingale
leans her breast against thorn and sings
in pain" In the old poets not only has
She thorn in her breast, but she puts it
there. Instead of being the voice of lonely
love- she ought TO be the emblem OF those
discontinued people who, in a position en-
viable to others, first make their own
troubles and then spend their lives in self
commiseration. OF course the nightin-
gale is not such u fool as she looks in 20
etry. Swans are said 10 sing death song:
this is poetry. too. But they are Matched
during thunder; and this is prosc-the be-
lief of otherwise sensible folk Crows and
curleWs hate each other 50 that their eggs
put in the same nest will all burst Talk
ing of eggs, the cock of the South of Eng
land lays an egg when the hen has ceased
laying; it is Il small insignificant affair

in Sussex, if no where else. As We have
got to the poultry yard, let Jobs turkey
have a word. The Americans have the
honor of discovering that ill-conditioned

The Conscience Fund.

The contributions to the conscience fund
of the Treasury i'll the last fiscal year
amounted to over Sc COO This fund has,
since its establishment over twenty wears
ago, amounted TO some $3.50 600. For some
years past ii has averaged from $1,000 to
s. 900 Il year The term Conscience
Fund was originated by Treasurer Spin
ner. One day during the war he received
a letter at the Treasury Department from Il
man who inclosed check for 81 800, saw
ing it represented a misrepresentation of
Government funds of which he had been
guilty while Quartermastcr in the army.
Suppose we call this a contribution to the
conscience fund, and get it announced in
the newspapers, and perhaps We will get
some more he suggested. The announce
ment was made, and the Treasury became
the recipient Of such funds The largest
contribution eyermade was 81 900, forward
ed by an eX-revenuc gauger from Chicago, as
the amount of a bride received by him
from distiIlers who desired to defraud
the Government. The smallest was nine
cents, forwarded by Il Massachusetts man
who remembered that he had years before
used marked threc-cent stamp on letter
In order to relieve his conscience he sent
three times the original steal, which he
thought was a fair compensation Many of
these contributions came from persons who
struggled goods. The majority are from
women. A recent case of this sort is
quoted. 4 lady residing in Canada, who,
years ago, smuggled into this country a
silk dress pattern worth 500, recently con-
cludcd that she ought to remit duty on it.
and going To a cuStom-housc officer asked
him to calculate for her the duty shewould
have paid plus the interest, which being
done. She forwarded the sum to the depart
ment, omitting-as most of them do-to
send her name. Occasionally a letter is
received from clergyman, stating that it
is the result OF Il death-bed confession of
some offender, who asks that the money
and confession be forwarded to the depart

General r. Z. Colston, late of the Egyp-
tan General staff, says OF the difficulties
opposing the Rescue of General Cor
dom The Arabs divide their deserts
into two kinds. The first is called d jeJel
or Il bcTgc, meaning mountain or wilder
ness. In this kind of deserts there is more
or less vegetation, always very scanty; but
yet it is there that the Bedouins roam and
raise their tiOcls and camcs. GaZcllCS and
other game are also found. The desert
between Berbcr and Suakim is chiefly of
this kind. The other sort is called the
NfDl0or, and it is impossible TO Imagine
anything more barren and dcsolate. 1t
IS literally nothing but sand and rocks
Not bush, not blade of grass, ever grew
there, and consequently no animal life at
all, not even insects. They are like oceans
which you cross on your desert ships but
where it is death to larry. The ostrich and
hyena cross them swiftly by night. These
atmO0rS are generally from eight to ten days
across, with one group Of wells in the mid
die. Such is the AtmoOr of Shgrc. which
| crossed in nine days, and that Of Korosko
i'll seven two days less than the usual
time. Only one group of wells i found
half way. which is called Ht0ura-bittcr
None but camels and Bedouins can drink
its water. Travellers always carry enough
Nile water to last them across. 1t is the
only desert where no guides are needed. for
the track is perfectly marked 10y the skcle-
tons OF camelS and cattle, which, rs !
counted them, average sixty to the mile on
the best parts of the trail. and 400 on the
worst. Thousands of camclS and oxen
perish there yearly. The latter are driven
from the Upper Nile, scantily watcrcd once
IN fOrty-cight hours on the march, and a
large proportion Of them die on the way

Brother Gardner on Civil Rights.

desk copy of the Post, of Norwich, n y,
containing an account of an Indignation
meeting held by the colored people of that
city because some Of them were refused adj
mission to the roller skating rink.
An will now offer a rcsousum to the
effeck dat we uphold de Guild people of
Norwich in seekin' DER social rights, said
Penstock when the article had been fin
ishcd.
De rcsolushun am received an will be
voted on" replied the President. Ny
own stand on dcqueshun of civil rights am
known to you all. Oar should be no law to
compel white folks To- do what black folks
would refuse. We, as a race, have our
Orders, lodges, societies parties am amuse-
ments in which white folks are excluded
If dey sought to intrudc We should
bounce EN-. \ white man who should
apply at Il Guild mans bOardin house
would be told to skip. We have our
ribcr eXcurshuns, an no white folks need
apply. If de Guild people Of Norwich or
Detroit or any odder locality want TO roll
aroun' on roller skates, let en- club to-
gethcr an hire place, or let some Guild
man open rink. If dar was only one
rink, an dat belonged to dc Guild people,
do YOU reckon dc white folks would seek
10 crowd IN! No man Wld sense an de-
ccncy will seek to crowd his way among
people who doan wish fur his company.
De Lawd put de whites togcder, de blacks
togeder. de Injuns togcdcr. dc Chinese to-
geder, an SO let EN- remain. De black
man as policeman, letter-carrier or waiter
may have heaps oh white friends an be
spoke highly OF. De same man, as an in
truder, will find disgust instead Of friend
ship. De Seckretary will call de roll for q
vote on de resolushun."
The roll was called, and the resolution
received only 1G votes out Of total of 17S.
