Hon. w. l.. W1LsoN.-The course
of our scholarly and accomplished
Congressman, in regard to the Nor
rison Tariff Bill meets with our ap-
proval. He is the right man in the
right place; at the right time. Ifhe
is renominated, Barbour county will
redeem herself by giving him 800 ma
jority. In his short canvass he
taught the people of this county from
the stump, the Democracy taught
in the Constitution. He learned his
Democracy in the htplace, and he
can tell it to other people. We hope
to have him do so during the com
ing summer and spring.

The RIGHT OF THE RoAD.-Nore
ignorance is displayed by drivers of
vehicles and even by pedestrians on
the streets, on this subject, than on
any other principle of law that should
be known to all persons and taught
in the schools. 1t is simple matter
and consists in yielding one-half of
the road, and keeping to the right. In
passing in any way, whether in We
hicle or on foot, keep to the right.
Then in case of either accident or
impudent disturbance, the law will
justify you. Many persons with
large wagons, or staggering brag-
gadocio, are go impolite and unyield-
ing as to give neither half nor side
OF street or road. With such per-
sons be frm-keep to the right of
the street or road-and the law will
take care of you and the other fellow
too.-Er.

sary elements for its increase. The
disease is now principally confined to
southern France and northwestern
Italy. 1t has ragged now for three
months. The total number of deaths
in France to date is about 1000; id
Italy, where 1t has been raging only q
few weeks, about 500. Still the pro-
portion of deaths to the number ofcases
is very large, and the area covered by
is as steadily increasing. The original
French outbreak, as will be remember
ed, was at Toulon. If the reader will
take the map of France he can easily
locate the area. The extreme
western point reached by it is Bor-
deaux, in the Province of Gironde-
Northward it has reached Auxerre,
in the Province of Yonne, hundred
miles or more south of Paris. Draw
ing a line from Auxerre to Geneva, on
the French frontier, and from Bordeaux
to Auxerro, all the country included in
the triangle is afflicted with cholera,
though its worst ravages are in what
may be called Mediterranean France,
particularly in the Pyranees, Orientales
Ande, Herault, Gard, Bouches du
Rhone, Vaucluse, Bosses Alpee, Hautes
Alpes, Ardecbe, and Var Provinces.
Westward its most fatal ravages have
followed along the coast line.
To the eastward it reached the i'm
portant cities of Geneva in Switzerland
and Turin, Milan and Genoa in Italyl
but in these cities it has not been suffi-
GENTLY widespread to make record.
Its most fatal progress has been through
Piedmont and the larger part of fatal
ity has occurred at Cuneo, equidistant
from Nice and Turin, Bergamo near
Milan, Spezza and Porto Maurisio, ON the
coast of the Gulf of Genoa, Carrara and
Masso, farther south on the coast line,
and Leghorn, in Tuscany. From this
point it seems to have made two wide
jumps, reaching Ajaccio, in the Island
Of Corsica, on the one hand, and Ma
Piles, to the extreme south, on the
other. From this latter point it has
spread through the province of Cam
pania. The eastern part of Italy has
thus far entirely escaped, but with the
rapid progress it is making, for it trav-
,ls in Italy much faster than it has in,
France, it is only question of tima
low soon it will cross the Apennines'
md menace Austria. 1t is also notice.
lble that, although it has ragged all
long the Swiss frontier, Switzerland
las thus far escaped.

BOY ROBS A BANK.
How a Stripping Has Joined tho Proce ssion
to the Happy. Land Of Canada.

st. Paul Pioneer Prefs.
News spread yesterday that the Peo-
pies bank of st. Paul, at the corner of
Seventh street and Sibley, had been
robbed. The story was that Edward
Mason, the messenger of the bank, q
boy about 16 years old, had run off
with large amount, supposed to be
shout $4 900. Inquiry at the bank, re-
ceived from Mr.. Z C. Rittenhouse, the
cashier, confirms the story. Mr.. Rlt-
tenhause said: "There were two COM
partments in our burglar proof chest.
The upper one CONTAINED the counter
cash. The lower one held the bank re-
serve, amounting to about $4,000.
These were entirely separate, having
different combinations. The amount of
cash and gold in the upper safe was
S6,021. On coming to the bank on Mon
day morning earlier than usual found
the vault door locked, but the outer
of the burglar-proot safe was unlocked.
The cash and gold, to the amount of
5000, was gone. Nothing else was
touched. The clearing house
checks, other papers and the sill
yer in the tray, to the amount OF
5000, were as usual. My opin-
ion is that the amount was taken from
the safe after my departure from the
bank, about quarter past five Satur-
day evening. Mason was left alone
about three-quarters an hour after that
time to get up his daily balance sheet.
The book-keeper on his return found
the vault door locked, the books put
away and everything about the office as
usual. We have learned that young
Mason had planned and talked about
the robbery at least three weeks ago.
The boy was recommended to me by a
gentleman of high standing in this city,
who had known the family for some
years. He recommended the boy in
high terms. had never seen or heard
Of anything about the boy that would
arouse suspicion"
Young Mason lived with bis mother
IN Inglehart street, near Wabasha. He
pears the name in the neighborhood of
being mannerly, bright boy, fond of |
Jun in the evening, and attentive to his |
work in business hours. He went regu-
arly to the bank and was very rarely
,ff duty. From the fact that young
10Y friend of Mason's, named Charles
Z. Parker, has not been seen since Sat-
Irday night, it is supposed he has gone
IF with the youthful robber.

Hints About Making Autumn Dresses.

Harper's Bazaar.
The tendency is toward straighter dra-
peries for winter costumes--a natural
result of the use of thick cloths and
sitter fabrics. Wide pleats form the
back of many skirts, hanging unbro-
ken their entire length from belt to foot,
and forming all the back there is to the
dress, or rather all that is visible, for q
narrow foundation skirt remains neces-
sary for supporting the heavy pleated
outside skirt. These back pleats may
be set on the edge of the basque, and
give princess effect. Or else they are
attached to belt and passed under a
shorter basque. Draperies for the front
may be either very short or very long,
are not stylish if of medium length.
The lower part of the front side and
breadths may be laid in very wide side
pleats that are bordered with braid or
Astrakan, or with balls or stripes
woven in the cloth, or else they may
be of box pleats with velvet or braid
lengthwise stripes laid in the hollow
that separates the pleats; or, again,
they may have one or two side stripes
or panels, or there may be three broad
stripes of applied ornament nearly COW
ering the front and side cores.
Round waists will be worn again with
or without belt and there will also be
many corsages that are round in the
back-that is, cut off at the waist line
while the front may be pointed or be
regular basque, or else heightened into
polonaise. To make dresses suffi-
GENTLY bouffant bustles will remain
rather large, and there will also be the
old-time bow drapery which has been
used this summer, of width of mater
ial tied in two broad loops and two ends
fastened to the back of round corsage.
Single-breasted fronts will be used with
vests, but there is also a tendency
toward diagonal Tapped and double
breasted corsages. Flat vests will be
more suitable than full pulled vests for
thick fabrics, and in many cases the
vest will be made entirely of trimming.
When another material is used for COM
binations, velvet will be chosen not only
for silks and satins but also for wool
goods. Plain velvet waists will be worn
again with silk, wool or satin skirts,
and when figured stuffs are used with
plain goods of the same kind, the fig
ures will form the entire corsage and
the border at the foot, while the skirt
and its draperies will be of the plain
fabric. 1t is said that darts are to be
made higher in the stiff English fashion,
which pushes up the flesh and gives
large bust, also that the fullness at the
top of sleeves is to be discarded. At
present there are no very decided
changes promised, and the economist
will be glad to know that dresses of last
winter can be used with very slight al
terations.

The Cholera Area.


While the cholera news still contin-
ues unfavorable, there is some consola-
ton in the fact that its progress is east
ward into Italy rather than westward to
England and thence across the ocean to
our own shores. The lateness of the
season and the favorable weather are
good grounds for hoping that twill not
reach us in 1884, though no one can
predict what may happen next spring.
AS between the cholera of 1883 and
the present epidemic there are some
points of difference. That of last year
was confined to Egypt. The time of the
outbreak was the same, the month of
June, but the period of duration was
smaller. 1t ran its course in Egypt in
about two months, and during
that time it swept away
about $4,000 victims, the fatality
being due to the utter absence of pre-
ventives and medical attention out
SIDE of Cairo. 1t had an unrestricted
course in the squalid Egyptian villages,
and the accumulation of filth following
the war supplied it with all the neces-

+ 1t is most deplorable proof of the
weakness of human nature that it is at
all times prone to fall into state of
panic when brought face to face with
the inevitable We must all die, and we
are not ignorant of this, our destiny
Nevertheless, the instant danger to
life Is recognized we fly from the peril
with the impetuous haste of crazy and
cowarly creatures, forgetful alike of duty
and decency. 1t is vain to argue in
favor of sef-possession. Philosophy
has no charm for or power over the
man who impulsively turns his back to
the enemy. Nothing we could urge
would have the slightest weight with
the multitude bent on escaping from the
ports and cities which are just now sup
posed to be rife with the infection of
cholera. These flying crowds on safety
all intent, must be left to their own de-
vices. It is manifest that they will
spread the malady, and it is scarcely
less certain that they will, many at
least, lose their lifes in trying to save
them. With regard to these
matters, however, it is useless to speak.
Suffice it to point out that, although in
the presence of an epidemic of cholera,
there is always and unquestionably
some personal peril of contracting the
disease, it is by no means certain that
this is increased by remaining in associ-
alton with the sick, or that the danger
is to be avoided by running away.
During several epidemics it has been
noticeable that the mortality has not
been by any means greatest in the very
center, 30 to say, of the disease. In the
hospitals and among the cholera pa
tients scattered throughout the popu-
lation medical officers and nurses have
gone about doing their duty with no
greater mortality than those have kept
aloof. Indeed, it is probable that GER
tain amount of immunity from disease
has been enjoyed by those who have
not feared the danger of infection. The
great secret of success IN warding off
disease is the preservation of health.
We mean that if, needless of danger,
men and women do their duty to those
around housekeeping up cheerful
temper and trusty spirit, neither abus-
ing the good things of life, nor avoiding
them; in short, living as all should
live, whether in the midst of healthy
population or in the presence of an ep-
idemic-they have far better chance
of escaping disease than by falling into
state Of panic and Christening to
leave" The true policy is to kill the
germ of disease on the spot, whether
they be in the water or in the air. Ev-
cry particle of the dejecta should be
destroyed-not simply deodorized, but
destroyed by powerful agent capable
of burning up organic material. This
should be done at once and instantly
on the spot, not merely with the chol-
eraic, but every patient who may have
diarrhea, whether specific or simple.
If this be done, and the general sanitary
conditions and the average health of
the community be looked to, there is
no peril that need scare any one out of
his or her sober senses in an epidemic
of cholera either on the continent or at
home.

PERSEVERANCE.

One step and then another,
And the longest walk Is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is manded;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One flake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
SO the little coral workers,
BY their slow and constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark-blue ocean,
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom has conceived,
BY oft-repeated effort
Have been patiently achieved.
sfRome was not builded In day."
The ancient proverb teaches,
And nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermon breaches.
Think not of far off duties,
But Of duties which are near,
And having once begun to work,
Resolve to persevere.
