epidemic of cholera has not the same virucnce that

MORE DEATHS THAN REPORTED.
4 member Of the Chamber of Deprsics who has
returned here from Marseiles says there have been
more deaths in that city from cholera than have
been registered. Many persons whose friends die
of cholera, the Deputy says, ask the doctors to at
tribute death to another cause for the purpose OF
avoiding speedy burals and the disinfccting Of
their apartments. Marseilles, he states, is now
prey to thieves who enter the deserted houses ana
pluudor az VIII. Tllcy entered the Court House
on Wednesday and robbed the Offices OF the Pro-
cureur.
TIE NUMBER OF CURES.
The total number of deaths since the outbreak ap-
pea1ed will reach 900. About 800 have been cured
The proportion of cures would be greater if those
rendering assistance were better organized. Much
prejudice exists among the lower classes against
the doctors. Many are convinced that they have
been ordered to promote the epidemic by admlnis-
tcring poisonous remedies. some force the physi-
clan, TO taste their medicine, before they can be
prevailed 10 take them. The doctors are often
afraid to enter houses owing to the hostility OF the
occupants. Inc Spanish Ialaietlo5 arc OVER
crowded and much misery thereby results. SPAN
has informed France that the quarantine

cholera has entirely vanished from France. All
the patients with one exception, in the Paris hos
pitfalls are afflicted with cho.eralc disorders and are
doing well.

short the reign Of youth and beauty.
Like Charlotte Cushman, we are
prone to say wo strut and fret one lit.
tie hour and then the curtain falls and
all is darkness and silence. Still let
ting fancy hold the reins we draw a
scene of surprising beauty lovely to
behold. No knightly knight of old,
with waving plumes and prancing war
horse ever sat his charger more grace
fully nor thrilled his heart with
brighter hopes than we find embodied
here in this laughing, snnny-hearted
boy riding his broom, his golden curls
flying in the wind, like silken banners
of lady fair. Ride on, dear child,
your little day. But the vision is
over, the house is swept and busted.

beauty in dusting the shadows Of

"Why sweep, of course" the busy
housewife cries. "Who ever heard
such thing, silly nilly" Well, let's
see if she is not too hasty in confining
the usefulness of the broom to its
usual tread-mill existence, If we re-
peat the hackneyed old expression,
'the broom is woman's weapon" we
may be pardoned, for we must all ac-

of an old bachelor in search of wife
and housemaid.
In the fathers advice TO his son on
choosing a wife, we see the wisdom
that does not always come with age.
He perhaps had made like choice
and found domestic bliss, or else in
his failure to do so had pTo6ted by
experience. He advised his son to
give tea party out on the lawn, and
to place broom in the pathway
leading within, and @she who picks il
up choose ye to we'd Some of the
young ladies giggled and stepped over
il, Some high-headed and y-seekiDg
stumbled over it. Some walked round
it, others jumped over il, and one, yes
one, stopped and picked ii up. Well
for the wise young man whose wife
she became that she did, for he had
put his all on the throw in the lifting
up of the broom, and to this day he
might have been roaming over the
world with broom, ready TO fall at
the sight of womankind.

again boarded his flagship when she
blew up with a terrible explosion, and
not soul escaped. The balance Of
the squadron put to sea, while the
Federal garrison had no option but to
surrender 10 victorious and superior
force.
The Federls never took Galveston
during the entire war, and the Har-
riet Lane remained in the hands of
the Confederates until after tho close
Of hostilities, when she was retaken
by the Federal feet as a blockade
runner After the war she was sold
into the merchant service her engines
were taken ont and she was converted
into a four-rnasted schooner. She
has often visited this port, as peace
full merchantmen as well as when she
was a war ship, and she was in the
feet with which Admiral Farragut
captured New Orleans in 1869.
A most pathetic and tragic incident
occurred at the time of the capture of
the Harriet Lane at Galveston, and it
was a realization of one of those ter
rible. possibilities of civil war, but
which happily did not often occur
during the late conflict between the
American States.
Among the officers of the Lane was
a gallant and handsome young lieu
tenant named Lea. Among the Con-
federate officers who composed the
forces that boarded the Lane and en-
gagged in the bloody struggle on her
deck was Major Albert Lea, once an
officer of the United States army, but
fighting for his native South When
the ship struck her flag and the des-
perate battle was won, Major Lea, the
Confederate, saw lying at the foot of
the mainmast a young officer, whose
last sighs and life blood were escap-
ing from a wound in the breast. This
was Lieut.. Lea, gasping his last breath
for the Union and the old flag, for
which he had given his life.
These were father and son. They
had followed diverse roads in the line
of duty, but now death had brought
them together. The young man died
in the arms of his father, to whom
the glory of that victory was but as
dust and ashes and the splendor of
the New Years day was only gloom
and darkness and not only to him
was there mourning, but some of the
best and bravest Texans fell that day.
Among them was a yonng lieutenant,
son of Gen. Sidney Sherman, one of
the heroes of Texas Independence.
These two young soldiers, the one who
died for the Union and the one who
died for the South, were laid in the
same grave. They were buried with
military honor, and great concourse
of civilians, chiefly ladies, followed
them to their last resting place and
covered their tomb with tender flow
ers.
Side by side they sleep beneath the
sunny sky of Texas, while the balmy
Gulf breeze toys with the roses that
grow above them, and the bones of
the old ship on whose deck they met
their death now lie buried in the pro-
found and sunless dceps of the South
Atlantic ocean; but the old flag now
floats over a united country, and the
men who met as foes and died for
duty sleep peacefully side by side
for to-day they are brothers.

THERE'S Blue SKY OVERHEAD.
BY IosnrHrNE POLAND.

The earth Is dark and drear,
There are perils in the way;
A thousand little trials
To encounter every day;
But though full of gray and gloom
The path our feet may tread,
Look up, traveller,
There's blue sky overhead
We journey to the right,
And we Journey to the left,
And strive to find the treasures
OF which we are bereft;
When hope has ceased to smile,
And the heart is filed with dread,
Look up, traveller,
There's blue sky overhead
The shadows dark may lie
All around us like pail;
And on sad and somber scenes
May our level glances fall;
But above the things of earth
Is Love's azure curtain spread;
Look up, traveller,
There's blue sky overhead
The summer days go by,
With sweet memories in their train,
The autumn days draw nigh,
And the earth Is drenched with rain;
But when dear delights are past,
And the joys of life seem fed,
Look up, traveller,
There's blue sky overhead!
Though underfoot the thorns
And briars may abound,
Though death and desolation
Encompass us around,
Though all the springs run dry
That once our pleasures fed,
Look up, traveller,
There's blue sky overhead

THE HARRIET LANE.
A Famous Ship Gone TO thG
Bottom Of the Ocean.

In the marine dispatches some time
ago appeared the following London
dispatch "The bark Elliot Richie,
Perkins master, from Brunswick for
Buenos Ayres, has been abandoned at
sea water.logged, and her crew landed
at Pernambuco."
Comparatively few people know
that in this brief telegram they read
the funeral notice of one of the most
celebrated vessels of her day.
The merchant craft Elliot Richie
was none other than the once we'll
known Federal cruiser Harriet Lane.
During the presidency of Mr.. Bueh-
anan she was built as a revenue cut
ter and named for the accomplished
and elegant niece Of the President,
who so gracefully did the honors of
the White House in the last days of
the old regime of the Republic before
the war. The Lane was a fine ship
of her class and very fleet.
When the war came on the demand
for swift sailers to catch the blockade
runners induced the government to fit
her out as a war vesse and she was
placed on duty with the West Gulf
squadron, on the coast of Texas. Gal
weston had been abandoned by the
Confederate forces, which had retired
to Houston, and the Federal feet lay
at its ease in the sunny waters of
Galveston Bay.
This feet consisted of the steamers
Westfeld, S9l tons, six guns, under
Commander W, B. Renshaw, flagship
of the squadron; the Clifton, s92
tons, seven guns, Lient, Charles II.
Baldwin; the Harriet Lane, 6l9 tons,
three guns, Lieut Jonathan NJ Vain
right. This squadron appears to have
had lazy time of it, having only an
occasional blockade runner to look
after aud no fears of the CoDfederates,
who were keeping very quiet in the
interior of Texas.
On the morning of January !, 1868,
the Harriet Lane was tied to the Gal
weston wharf, while the rest of the
squadron lay at anchor in the Bay not
far of. The Forty,second Massaehu-
sets regiment lay asleep on the wharf
near the Lane. There was no thought
of an enemy near, when soon after
sunrise sudden change Of scene was
announced by the yolleys of Coufed-
crate sharp,shooters firing from the
windows of the neighboring ware
houses upon the unsuspecting troops
and shipping,
The attack had been organized by
Gen. J. B. MagFuder, who commanded
the Confederate forces at Houston,
and who had moved his troops down
during the previous day and night
and had silently marched them over
the, railroad bridge across the Bay,
and bad, during the night Of Deeem-
ber 81, of the old year, occupied the
city unknown to the Federal garrison.
Simultaneous with the attack from
the land side, two Confederate steam
boats, the Bayou City and Neptune,
which had been fitted up at Houston
as Quuboats and armored with cotton
bales, steamed rapidly out of the fog
which enyeIoped the surface Of the
water, and engaged the Harriet Lane,
