The theory of curing cholera by
dosing the patient with u weak solu-
ton of copper, and of preventing the
disease in n similar way, has been re-
vived in Paris, Ii is based upon the
notion that the cause of cholera is a
micrObe that can be killed by u weak
solution of poison which would do no
harm to higher form of life. By II
modification of the same principle in
lection could be washed out of exist
ence in plague-stricken town. The
experiments which DIR. Burg has made
in this direction have been highly sue
oessful, and If his theory bears further
test this dreadful disease will lose
many of its terrOrs.

HOW THEY Died.

L
Henry, who was shot at the Greely
Camp on Smiths Sound, on June 9th,
at the time the survivors were reduced
to the direst extremity for food, were
found by the rescuing party from an
eighth to a quarter of a mile beyond
the tent of the starving men. There
was scarcely anything left but pile of
glistening bones, stripped of nearly
every trace of flesh except some of the
lower part of the trunk The head
was missing and could not be found, 50
that it was at first supposed that the
remains were those Of DR.. Pavy. The
bones were placed in bag for removal
to the Bear with the remains of six
others of the Inflated expedition. On
board they were deposited in a little
box about two feet long, which was
placed aft and covered with the Stars
and Stripes. A day or two after the
squadron began the hOmeward trip the
box was removed from the deck, anC
the officers, determined to remove al
suspicion of the terrible scenes of can
nibalism enacted at the camp on Cape
Sabine, prepared the bones for burial
Sticks Of wood were procured, and t.
these, fitted to the proper length, tn,
bones were tied, until all were as near
" in place as it was possible to &c
them. The head was missing, and
block of wood was made to do duty il
its place. Then this framework in thu
shape of a man was tied to plank
and wound with cotton cloth as tn

The Burning Question.

Il is the great question to-day in Demo
cratic circles whether a Democratic PresI-
dent was elected last month or not. Just
after the election the Democrats were "dead
certain that they had elected their man."
while all rational people, considering the IN
certainty Of returns from 5000 precincts
and 200, 600 voters IN a State like this,
were in doubt But now all rational people
know that Grover Cleveland has been elect
ed, while the Democrats are raeked with
anxiety 10 know whether he is, after all
"ther man OF not. The doubt has changed
places-and it can hardly be said that he
has the best of it who doubts last.
We have pity on ''our friends the enemy"
and can perhaps console them. When Mr.
Cleveland said he was going TO do as he
pleased and to .iet the politicians howl" he
doubtless had an idea that he could run the
Government according to his own notions.
After that, il is needless to add that he is
profoundly Ignorant of public affairs. He
will go TO Washington, probably, with the
idea still strong within him that he can
somehow make the Government 20 as he
pleases- Presently he will find that, in or
der to get anything at all as he pleases, he is
compelled not to interfere too much. In the
pitby words Of Mr.. Lincoln, ne can "have
some influence with his administration
provided he is content not TO have very
much. But if he tries TO make many re-
movals and appointments to his own liking.
a Republican Senate may object. Ii he
tries to select Cabinet officers to please him
self exclusively, he will begin war on
Democratic House, which will from that
moment thwart him in every desire and hu-
initiate him in every ambition until he con-
sents TO make terms.
Mr.. Cleveland cannot please himself. and
at the same time satisfy the men who elect
ed hin. He will fnd. before long, tina, the
party is stronger than the individual. Then
he will be content to become the tool Of
some faction of the party as President. just
as he has done as Governor.-N Y. 1ri6-
une.

to Spain, arrived in New York in the steamer
Oregon, Sunday. He left his post Nov. IS

Spanish government 81 think" said MIN
lister Foster, "that it is of the utmost i'm
portance that We shall ratify the treaty. The
great question with the United States now is
the question Of improving our foreign mar
kets and ANYTHING that can be done in the
direction Of providing new markets for pro
ducts is of incalculable benefit. This treaty
will open up TO our agriculturists and TO our
manufacturers a very considerable market
and one of which We all will have monop-
oily to the exclusion of all European nations.
No one can compete with the United States.
At this time, too, when our industries are
suffering all the evils of oyerproducton and
are so much depressed, it is most opportune
that we should secure this opening for our
products. In addition TO this direct benefit
1t will lead TO our commercial conquest of
South America, for if this treaty is ratified
other countries south of the United States
will be obliged, for their own protection. TO
make treaties of some kind with the United
States" The sugar side of the question
was. Of course. most important there
probably would be a strong opposition from
the Louisiana planters, but minister Foster
thought it would not have much weight.
With tobacco, he expected little or no oppo-
si;ion. The duty on our -four would be
reduced about - a barrel and there could
he no competition with Vs., even at tins rate.

whole country. said Foster, land must be
