PARTs, July 2j--Isolated cases of cholera
continue in various parts Of France, some
widely distant from the infected district.
A woman living in Courbevoil, a vii
lage only a few miles from Paris, was
seized with sporadic cholera on Thursday
she was at once consigned to the hospital,
and her lodging thoroughly disinfected.
No apprehension Of further cases Ia be.
lioved to exist in the community.
Two cases of cholera have occurred at
Narbonno, and at st. Nazaire, village
not far from TouloD, two deaths from that
disease have occurred. One of these deaths
was OF an especially pathetic character.
An unknown woman was seized with the
dread disease while passing along the
street. She fell PROSTATE to the ground
aud expired Immediately.
ptiablc case IL reported from Mar
scilles An old woman OF over seventy
years was missing for several days. Tho
police at last forced an entrance TO her
lodging aud they found her body upon the
floor in such condition that she must
have been dead for several days. An
examination proved that she was victim
of cholera, She had lived almost exclu-
sively on fruit.
The Corvetti Argentine, which was
recently at Marseilles desired to take
on coal at Gibraltar the English authOri
ties there foreblde this aud tnreateLcd to
fire unless the vessel at once departed.
The Argentine thercupou proceeded to "A
port in Portugal aud began coaling, but
the inhabitants of the port became panic
stricken aud compelled tho authorities to
0 der tho immediate departure Of tho un-
fortunate vessel. Where tho Argentine is
to iind fuel enough to enable her to return
to La Plata appears to be an unsoluble
problem.
The condition of affairs at Aries IL de-
plorabIe. An accident has entirely cut off
the water supply. Funerals of the cholera
victims are being conducted by men gen.
orally drunk. Carpenters refuse To make
collins, and nearly all the bakers and
butchers have left the city. Food is con
sequently scarce. The epidemic appears to
be spreading, and the panic is simply in.
discribablc.
One death has occurred at Sautes
Marics do Ia Mer. The inhabitants of
that town want To expel all refugees from
Aries. In six different villages of
Bronches du RhOnc, from ono To two
deaths have occurred. la Kintzingtia,
Italy, there have been ten deaths. At
TouloD, two foolish youths made a bet as
to who could drink the more seltzcr water.
Ono drank nine syphons and the other
eight, aud both died shortly after OF
cholera.
The debate in the Chamber of Deputies,
yesterday, in regard to French law relat-
ing to epidomics, Mr. Bert described
France as, after Spain and Turkey, the mos,
backward country in Europe, 80 far as
sanitary matters are concerned.
