Cholera a. the United states.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
In looking over the periodical literature of the
medical profession, during the time cholera
made Its most Imperative demand upon the lives
of the citizens of the United States, we can
gather many Interesting facts, as well as strange
theories from correspondent under whose OBJ
servation the disease appeared. Different theo-
ries as to the of the disease, as we'll as of
the local Influences and conditions that predis-
pose persons to take its specific effects are re-
ferred to.
John Lea, of Cincinnati, Ohio, eontended that
cholera resulted from fermenting impurities
taken into the stomach IN well and spring water.
He said in the Western Lancet Of 1851, that he
could find no welkauthencated case of this dis
ease where rain water or boiled water had been
used exclusively. The London Quarterly Re
view, New York edition, indorsed this
opinion, and regarded pure water as an alb
solute preventive A committee on epidemics
appointed by the American Medical Association
in 1852 reported that in the opinion OF the com
mittee, they did not believe the disease was con-
tagieus, but that it's course was portablei that
it was most apt to attack parties crowded to-
gether, where filth, poverty and bad ventilation
existed; that elnanations from such localities
are the chief stimuIant Of the choleraic influence.
DIR. Sprague OF Iifins o., in correspondence
to Western Lancet 1851, who had an extensive
experience in the treatment of this disease, says
the yirulency of cholera is modified by local
causes. The canse OF the disease, says he, is
not gas, or a small space of infected air, but a
materi morbi, which can attach to clothing
packed in trunks and carried thousands Of miles
and poison its victims, The disease visited
Tim IN 1884, nearly twenty years before, and
It attacked the same localities during both
visitations The opening Of a cessrpool preceded
the first outbreak, and heavy rain the second
Hot dry weather preceded the rain The editor
of the Western Lancet, 1882 says; "Our city
has escaped any visitation of cholera this year."
but he quoted q letter from DR.. johnson, Of
Maysyille, Kentucky, where the disease pre-
vailed with disastrous consequences. DR.. John
son says it prevailed almost exclusively in that
part Of the town which was built over land once
q swamp but which. had been filed up The
cellars were damp, and the water wretched DIR.
Sensey, OF Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, writing
concerning the two vistations Of cholera to his
town, expresses great surprise why so.

WHERE STRAWBERRIES GROW
General Good Condition of the Crops In
Southern Sources of the Fruit.

0O0AhCEA GQ0LCCS VI NA~
~ am happy to say there is every pros
peet Of a good strawberry crop this sea-
son. said the largest receiver Of straw
berries in Boston to a Globe reporter. Il
have just returned from tour of inspec-
ton through the strawberry-growing
sections of Virginia, Maryland and Della
ware, and have found all the crops pro-
missing well, and coming on few days
earlier than last year."
Where do the early strawberries come
from?"
I'VE occasionally receive few early
berries from Charleston and Flcrlda Via
New York, but the earliest we receive 9l-
rect, in large quantities, are from IT.
ginia. Fifteen crates arrived to-day by
the Norfolk boat, and were sold generally
for fifty cents per quart. A few berries
come from the James river, but very
large proportion of them are grown WITHIN
twenty miles of Norfolk. The next straw
berries we receive come from Maryland
and Delaware. They are grown pTlnel-
pally within six or eight miles OF the Della
ware and Maryland Railroad, between
/ Crossheld. Nd, and Clayton, Del, dis-
lance of about 100 miles. If the Maryland
and Delaware berries are very late, we
may receive the fruit from Virginia for an
entire month. but if they chance
to be early. thousands, yes hundreds OF
! thousands of quarts of Georgia berries
will not pay for the picking, and are al
lowed to rot on the plants. A little later
we receive berries from New Jersey, lit
tie later still from Long Island, and then
come natives. Some Of the Southern ber-
ries are fine, but none of them are equal
TO our best natives. After natives we re-
| ceive some from Portland, Me-, and last of
all from the Provinces. The crops. as
you see, come along in rotation, the pick
/ ing season in each section lasting, on an
average, but about two weeks. Includ-
ing the CharlestOns, we now have berries
in this market from ABOUT March l to Au-
gust l."
''HOw do prices ranger
weather, supply, quality and condi-
ton are the four factors which affect
prices. Berries may be cheap when they
are scarce, on account of their condition
and they may be high when they are plen-
tlful, owing to their unusually fine cOndi-
ton. When they are plentiful and in
I poor condition, they are, as perhaps you
can imagine, very cheap. have sold fine

/ and Delaware, !, ZOO, 600; from New Jersey,
/ 100000; and from Long Island, 100000 to

l believe, than we do from any other one
! section, though how many more it would

BITTEN BYA RATTLEsNAKE.
Narrow Escape from a Horrible
Death

\ Narrow Escape from Horr1bie
Death.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Charles Fish,
living at No. 81 President street,
while gathering Wild flowers in the
woods, was bitten in the right
leg just below the calf, by a
rattlesnake. Mr.. Fish, with great pres
ence Of mind. made a turniquet of his
handkerchief, applying it above the
wound, thus stopping the upward flow
Of the virus, and made his way
TO Montgomery. where &c drank con-
siderable quantity of whisky to counter
act the effects of the poison. DIR. Falli-
CANT, who was spending the afternoon at
that place, was sent for and found the
wounded man at the railroad depot in
stupefied condition. He examined the
bite and discovered that both tangs of the
snake had entered the flesh, inflicting
small but dangerous wounds. The Doctor
applied a pOultice Of tobacco to the wound
and dosed the patient with more whisky.
Mr.. Fish was put aboard the cars. and
on the arrival of the train the Doctor took
him to his boarding hOase. At late
hour last night the wounded man was
still under the influence Of the stimu-
lants. but was in a fair way of recovery.
liz was a very narrow escape from death,
rs It Is not often that person bitten by a
rattlesnake. if ever so slightly, lives long
enough 10 see his home.

The above heading of our advertisement

it in reference to all this foul advertising.
For instance, one will claim he is selling

the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say will
give you their goods and give you a

such blowing, which does not amount to
a row of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell them at cost, for we
must live. But our past reputation for
fair and honest dealing guarantees our

The Energetic Comment of Some Crate
ful Piutes on the Generous Gift of
Kind Boston Friends.

Kind Boston Friends.
Winnenucca EeU.) SiIcer State.
One one occasion during last winter the
piOus members of one of the fashionable
churches of Boston packed a flour barrel
with old clothes, worth perhaps 81 or SO at
Junk shop. and sent them to the destitute
Piutes at Winnemucca by express, but,
through inadyertance, of course, did not
pay the express charges, amounting to
$16 80, or at least four times as much as
its contents were worth, even under a
high protective tariff. Last Friday they
sent another barrel, which the express COM
panies generously dead-headed through to
the Piutes. 1t was delivered to Buena
Vista John, sub-chief of the Indians,
who expressed his dissatisfaction upon
opening it, with a contemptuOus, "HeaP
no good" The contents of the barrel
were mainly old shoes. which the Indians
could not wear without torture, and a lot
of old tattered and threadbare garments,
which only Indians who had lost their
blankets and only shirt in a gambling
bout would think of wearing. Buena
Vista John gave the contents of the bar
rel to some northern Indians who are
camped across the Humboldt, and they
selected few articles of wearing apparel
out of the lot.
When Boston philanthropists learn that
the Indians can get better and more suita-
bic articles of old clothing than any sent
them by express in almost every village
in the State by asking for them, they will,
most likely, again turn their attention to
the heather in foreign lands, as the Piutes
prefer going naked to wearing such buds
as they send them.
