IN THE TRACK OF DEATH.


A cable dispatch from Paris says: Threa
cases of cholera occurred here yesterday
one of which proved fatal. II Is believed
they are sporadic. The heat is intense and
the streets are deserted. All the cholera
patients have been removed from the hos
pitfalls to pest houses in the suburbs. The
Mayor of Tpulon has been strick-
en- down with the plague. There
were seventy two deaths mt Marseilles
during the last twenty -four hours,
showing an increasing viIulence in the cpl
demic. DR.. Koch has gone to Beme to
confer with the SWISS authorities as to the
best means of excluding cholera from
Switzerland among the country people
around Toulon, as the oholern is increasing
in the country districts. Thirteen deaths
occurred here last night.
Austria is becoming alarmed, and has
asked the Porte TO co-opernte in measures
TO prevent the cholera from entering Austria
and Turkey.
The authorities OF Odessa, Russia, have
quarantined French vessels from the
Mediterranean for two weeks. Every effort
possible is being put forth to keep the
cholera from the port.
London dispatch: Edwin A. Merritt,
United States Consul General, has refused
TO grant clear bills to vessels leaving Lon
don and Liverpool for ports in the United
States unless the American Inspectors GER
tify to the health of those on board.
Washington dispatch: Secretary Freling-
huysen has instructed the Consular officers
at London, Liverpool, Marseilles, Havre,
Bordeaux, Bremen, and Hamburg to ut
once appoint competent physicians to in
spect all vessels and passengers departing
for the United States from those points.
The Consular officers referred to are in
structed to refuse clean bills of health in
all cases except upon the recommendation
Of the Sanitary Inspector. The Consuls
are instructed to report by cable any case
of infectious or contagious disease.

Little Nations.

While the tendency of modern times
is to extend the boundaries of great
countries for Great Britain, Russia,
and the United States are steadily add
ing to their possessions-the fact re-
mains that some very small countries
preserve their autonomy for long
periods of time. For instance, the lit
tie republic of Andorra il mere eagles
eyrie nesting up on the top of the
Pyrenees. 1t is only n stone, as it were,
to mark the boundary between France
and Spain. This it has done for thou
sand years. 1t contains II, 900 people,
who are said to be very primitive and
moral. 1t is governed by two Vigniers
and twenty consuls. San Marino, "a 9TH
er dwarf nation, is.still smaller. 1t con-
sists of five small villages with 10000
inhabitants, and is situated in Central
Italy. San Marine dates back to the
Diocletian prosecutions of the fourth
century, when, as the somewhat legen-
dairy history has it, pious stone-cutter
10y the name of Marinus and few fell
low Christians sought escape from mar
tyrdom by fleeing to that lonely retreat.
They gradually coaXed meager sub
sistence out of the reluctant soil, and,
left to themselves, developed a simple
form of government adapted to the
needs of the community. The present
form OF government dates from 1S4l.
San Marino must be the paradise of
otlice-holders. For its army of $40 sol
diers it has 131 officers, and it elects
four Presidents year. The Senate is
composed of sixty life members. But
there is still smaller municipality
Monaco, situated on high promontory
on the Gulf of Genoa. 1t has an area
of six square miles and population of
about 1900. 1t is sanitarium for con-
sumptives, hut is chiefly noted as the
greatest gambling hell in Europe. The
prince that owns it derives an income of
$50, 200 per annum from the gambling
institutions. Such in brief is the status
of the three smallest nations in the
world. Monthly.

serve to be mentioned. Pere Morand
has just died at Magreve, in Upper
Savoy, leaving behind him fifteen chill
dren, sixty five grandchildren, and thir-
ty-one great-grandchildren. As an en-
couragement to others, it is said that
the Government who are aggrieved at
the increasing depopulation of France
compared with her neighbors, propose
to present medal to the family, with
an inscription 10 the effect that otto
yen Morand bien merite de Ia patrie."

Helping the Editor Out.

A clerical-looking gentleman entered
an Austin newspaper Office, and, draw
ing out concealed document, said to
the editor:
Il am soliciting for a heightened gen.
tleman of refinement and intelligence.
He is sadly in need of money, but he is
too proud to let the public know it.
"You dol't say so!' said the editor,
with animation.
81 am hopeful of securing quite q
handsome little sum-"
You say this unfortunate man is very
intelligent, highly cultivated, and all
that sort of thng?"
"That's just the kind of man he is. 4"
"And too proud to beg?"
The minister nodded.
"My dear friend, L appreciate your
delicacy. You have described my con-
dtion precisely, but / hal no idea
had enlisted your sympathy so strong y
that You would t.ke up collection.
It's all right. Just as soon rs you get
ten or fl teen dollars together bring t
to me, and I'll give you receipt for it.
God bless yo l, my noble friend" and
he pushed the visitor, who expected to
tap Che editor for a dollar, out into
the street, where he, after gazing
around in dazed sort of way, kept
on in his mission of mercy.
"One good turn deserves another
remarked the editor, as he resumed his
seat. "That man came TO help me out,

THE preponderance of widows over
widowers in England is often remarked.
The census returns show this to be I'M.
mistakably the case. There were in
1881 close upon 1,0OO.000 widows in
England and Wales, the number of
widowers being less than half as many.
OF these 1000, 900 widows $1,000 were
under IS years of age. In Ireland and
Scotland the number of widows was
in each case three times that of the
widOWprs

little money on the sly presents itSeif.
One Of tue grimmest guardians Of an
extremely ar stocratic set may often
be seen bowling through the parks with
her invalid tat 30 cents IN hour)
proped up by her side. She meets her
fashionable friends occasionally, of
course; but she whips up and cuts by
them with snowy bow; and those
who are not posted as TO all the uses to
which a private carriage may be put
naturally suppose the two ladies are
friends.
Not infreluently a driver is an adj
junct of the occasion; but the wool is
pulled over his eagle eyes, and he never
dreams that he has been o party to a
petty money transaction. Fem nine

of him joining the formidable phalanx
of "coachees,' even in disguise, she
would consider the family ruined. IL
he was compelled to do it, it is doubt
full If she would look at it in any other
than fretful and complaining light.
This is to be inferred from the style of
criticism women of ordinary minds pass
upon that chapter of Charles Reade's
"Simpleton," which represents the pa

vary, even in the livery business. Per.
haps she had all the money she asked
for, and none that she did not ask for,
and wanted little fund that was all

the novel pleasure of earning money,

IT is said that the fastest two PAGERS
in the world are the property of Com

They are Johnson and Little Brown

JEAN BAPTIsTE DUMAS, the eminent
chemist whose death was the other dav
announced, was an energetic little man
with a round, happy face, flowing hair,
sparkling eyes, and Gascon fuency
and picturesqueness of speech. Louis
Nap leon nicknamed him "the Poet of
Hygiene" and it was Dumas who
looked out for the health of the city
during Haussmann's re-edilication of
Paris. 1t il told of him that at the age
of Is he made his first two discoveries
in chemistry, and these brought him to
the notice of Gaspard De La Rive, who
asked him: rs it you who have made
these experiments? ~ Certainly" And
they have taken you good deal of
timer" "Of course" "Then / must
tell you," said the great scientist, "that
You have had the good fortune to meet
Berzelius on the same field of research.
He has preceded you, but he is older
than YOU" This great compliment
overwhelmed young Duma, with en-
barr assment, from which De La Rive
kindly extricated him by taking him by
the arm and asking him to breakfast
and thus began a lifelong friendship
between them.

Women n. q. with the Whip.

There is not one women out of TO-
000 who can handle a cowhide to the
physical in. Jury of her intended victim, I"
said an observing actor to q New York
Star man. They make great deal
of splitter and noise, and conclude by
inhicting far more injury to themselves
than the object of their wrath. When
Ninon Duclos attacked that Providence
man with whip some years ago, he
escaped serious injury, while her face
and neck were so disfgured by poorly
aimed blows that she was obliged to re-
main indoors fortnight, and Pauline
Markham, when she assaulted the ed
itor of the Chicago Times with q raw
hide, struck herself so often that she
came out of the fracas looking worse
than a whipped prize-ighter after a
ten-round mill. The tongue-lash is the
proper instrument of torture for sweet
woman.
