The health of Paris is good.
RAvAGEs OF THE CHOLERA.
PARIS, July 25,-Isolated cases of
cholera continue to be reported from
various parts of France-some widely
distant from the infected district. A
woman living at Courbevoie village.
only few miles from Paris, was seiZ-
ed with spasmodic cholera. Thursday.
She was conveyed to the hospital and
her lodgings thoroughly disin-
fected. No further cases are
believed to exist in the COM
munity. Two cases of cholera
occurred at Varbonne, and at st. Ma
zaire, a village not far from Toulon.
Two deaths occurred. One was an
especially pathetic case. An un-
known woman was seized while pass
ing along the street. She fell pros
trate and expired Immediately. A
pitable case is reported from Marseil-
les. A woman Of 70 gears was miss
ing several days. The police at last
and found her body upon the floor in
such a condition she must have
been dead some days. Examination
proved she was a victim of cholera.
She lived almost exclusively on fruit.
The Corvette Argentina, recently at
Marseilles, desired to take on coal at
Gibraltar. The English authorities
forbid this and threatened
70 fire unless the vessel
departed. The Argentina, thereupon,
proceeded to port in Portugal, and
began coaling, but the inhabitants be-
came panic stricken and compelled the
authorities to order the immediate de-
parture of the vessel. Where the Ar
gentina is to find fuel enough to ena-
BILE her to return to Laplata appears
an insoluble problem.
DEPLoRABLE SCENES
PARIS, July 25.-The condition of
affairs at Aries is deplorable. The
water supply is entirely cut of, owing
to an accident in the hydraulic appar-
atus. Numerous funerals of cholera
victims have been conducted by men
who are generally drunk. THESE fun
erals have been greatly retarded by
the fact that the carpenters refuse to
make collins for those who die of
cholera. Nearly all the bakers and
butchers have left the city, and food
is consequently scarce and difficult to
obtain: The panic throughout the
| city (ArleS) is simply indescribable
and the epidemic appears to be ex.
tending. One death occurred al
Saipte Marie'S de La Mer. The inhab
itants of that town want to expel al
refugees from Aries. LII six different
villages of the department of Bouches
Du khone, two deaths have occurred
In Vintimeglia, Italy, there have beer
ten deaths.
STAYING ITS VICTIMS.
PARIS, July 25.-Fifteen deaths a

lon within two days for the Pyrenees
The number of deaths last night a
Marseilles were sixteen.

eight. Both died shortly of cholera.
