THE fright that was caused a few
months ago in this country, when
cholera first appeared in Europe, has
entirely abated. The season is now
pretty well past when cholera is liable
TO spread, and this country is safe from
its appearance the present year. In
Europe 1t was confined chiefly to
France and Italy, where 1t is now dy-
ing out slowly, though still attended
with great fatality. One good effect
was produced by the scare in this
country; cities and towns took pains
to make themselves cleaner than usual,
ana in doing 80 as preventive of chol-
era lessened the mortality list largely.
1t would not be bad thing to have a
cholera fright every year, II it induced
our people to habits of greater clean
illness,

THE bald-heads on the front seats of
Augusta were lately subjected to ter
rible disappointment. 1t is best told
by the Constitutionalist, as follows /:
"The performance last night by the
Adamless Eden company was, like all
female performances Of the kind, dis
appointment. Those who went with
the expectation of seeing something
very naughty We're disappointed. True,
they saw women in tights, with bare
arms and lowe dresses, but these are
seen in every opera company that
visits the city, aud the poor singing and
general mediocre performance more
than counterbAlanced the pleasure that
the average man derives from looking
Mt scantily dressed woman. The alb
sence of ladies from the audience al
ways makes the public imagine the
performance Is worse than 1t is, and
these companies are losing their draw.

them once or twice don't care to &c
again. The crowded houses that
greeted the Black Crook and the Dizzy
Blondes, when they first made their
appearance years ago, do not now wei
come female minstrel companies
Judging from the unstinted applause,
however, the audience in attendance
last night were thoroughly satisfied. .
