Alsrtness in Journalism.

When the New York Herald sent
Stanley to find Livingstone, it began 9
new movement in journalism. Instead
Of simply recording events, the great
journals strove to make events, in orde,
to describe them. The London Tele

there was no rival near, kept journa

two newspapers he represented, as soor
as the Pandora returned to port. But
an unscrupulous rival journal had put
on board literary sailor. He jotted
down the details of the voyage, and, q.
he had opportunity, transmitted them
to his newspaper. When the special
landed in England, he discovered that
his journal was ancient history.
The race for the first news has beer
the occasion for extraordinary .tjockey.
ing," At an Oxford and Cambridge
boat-race, one London journal hired q
small steamer to follow the competing
crews. As it went along it laid a"cable
under water. Through this the special
correspondent transmitted, minute by
minute, the details of the race, TO the
paper, and thereby enabled it to pub
lish- successive editions fifteen minutes
in advance of it's rivals.
During the Ashantee, War, the great
London Dailies were obliged to use the
cable which ran from the island of Ma
deria to Lisbon, Paris and London.
Each paper had its representative ct
Funchal, on the island, to whom the
special correspondent with the army
sent by courier his letters.
The strife between the correspondents
was who should first get possession Of
his letters and thus be the first TO file
them with the telegraph operator for
the transmission Of their conterts to
London. Unfortunately, they had all
failed to allow for one obstruction, the
quarantine, whose regulations required
that no letter arriving from Africa
should be delivered until it had been
fumigated.
The operation required a day or two;
but the correspondents consoled them
selves with the reflection that as it was
the common lot, no one could get ahead
of his brethren. The representative
Of the Daily News had, however, a
happy thought" He went to the fumi-
gator and said -
II do not mean to ask you to neglect
your duty, and to let me have my let
ters before you have fumigated them.
II you will open the letters addressed
to me, and hold, with pair of tongs,
the sheets open so that Hooking through
the barred window of the fumigating-
room, can glance at them, I Will pay
you handsomely"
The fumigator did as required; the
representative jotted down the interest
ing items, and the Daily News was the
first Of the London journals to publish
Q letter from Ashantee.

Campi is sound asleep.
"Campi! Campi!" The governor calls
his name aloud twice before he hears it.
At last he awakens, sits on his cot and

Was trying TO read, and to swing you, too;
And the green Of the sward was 70 kind 70 the

And the shade Of the naples so cool and blue,
That often looked from the book to you
To say as much, with sigh.
You in the hammock. The book we'd brought
From the parlor--to read in the open air
Something of love and Of Launcelot
And Guinovere believe, was there
But the afternoon, II was far more fair
Than the poem was, thought.
You in the hammock; and on and on
Idroned and droned through the rhythmic

But with always q half of my vision gone
over the top Of the psge-enough
To caressingly gaze at you, swathed In the

And her Launcelot and their loneliness

When we consider the appearance of
Mr. Carl Schurz as the advocate of demo-
cratic candidate for president. We are
amazed at the immensely of his impu-
dence,
Only eight years ago Mr.. schurz en-
gagged in promoting the instalment of
Rutherf ord b. Hayes as president, when
Samuel j. Tilden had been elected. De-
liberately concurring in this unpai allelod
crime against free institutions, Mr..
Schurz, as soon as tho deed was done,
fastened to appropriate his part of the
booty. He became cabinet secretary in
tho administration of the fraudulent
president, and he held on to the office, the
power, and the salary to the latest mo-
ment that the law allowed.

passed with the excavations of those
affected, which must gain entrance into
tho intestinal canal to produce cholera in
another. In this lies the whole secret of
an effectual preventive treatment, If we
can destroy tho organic injecting matter
the instant 1t has passed from the patient,
cholera cannot spread; or, what amounts
to the same thing, If we can prevent the
injecting matter of the cholera dejects
from reaching the intestines of other
persons We prevent them from getting
cholera. Our efforts in this direction,
therefore, constitute the true preventive
treatment of this disease. If we can
only preserve the drinking water
from contamination it is impossible for
cholera to become epidemic. The leading
principles upon which we must rely for
etfecting this object are, first, to destroy
tho organic injecting matter as 1t passes
away from tho patient by means of q solu-
ton Of corrosive sublimate or of sulphate
of iron. or by some acid reagent taking
care that the excavations thus treated are
buried in the earth away from wells or
sources Of water supply; and secondly, to
disinfect or destroy all articles of clothing,
furniture. or, in fact, anything to which
the choleraic discharges could adhere.
The popular idea of disinfectant is q
something which will destroy a "bsd
SMELL" while the fact Is, such destruction
may not affect the fomites of cholera,
which are almost odorless. A cholera dis
infectsnt must BIO germicide, or 1t is
worthless.
The simplest and cheapest disinfectant
for this purpose is solution of bichloride
of mercury or saturated solution of
sulphate OF iron (copperssj. A solution
of bichloride of mercury is readily made
by adding an equal quantity of common
salt as a solvent, and dissolving in water
in the proportion of one gramme of the
mixture to 1000 cubic centimetros of
water, or ono ounce to eight gallons of
water; and saturated solution OF cop
peras by dissolving all tho powdered
copperas given quantity of water will
take up. Both of these disinfectants are
entirely odorless and the former colorless.
A small quantity of either of these solu-
tions should be placed in the vessel re-
ceiving the discharges from . cholera
patient. and another portion poured over
them Immediately after the vessel is used.
Then the contents Of the vessel should be
emptied into the water closet, buried, or,
bettor still, thrown into furnace. All
clothes or other domestic articles that can
be washed which have been contaminated
should be soaked in a solution of one or
tho other of these disinfectants, and if
the furniture or floor has received any of
the fomites it, too. should DO thoroughly
washed with the bichlorido solution.
These solutions can be used about the
premises, If necessary, with sprinkling
pot, and all suspicious places wet down
and thoroughly disinfected.

THE BURRlS BLOCK.
One of the Finest Store and Apart
ment Buildings Erected this Year
can be Found Corner Third
and Oak Streets.

In reviewing the building interests during
this week we found ourselves opposite one of
the handsomest edifices erected this year,
and upon inquiry ascertained that Mr.. James
Burris had built the structure. In looking
the pile over we were impressed with the care
which had been bestowed by the owner in
the construction; for general convenience
and utility for the purposes for which the
building was designed we have not seen its
equal in many day. 1t is a large three
story structure of cream brick, with ap-
poiutments second to none. On the first floor
seven large, light and airy stores are at the
disposal of the public, several of
which are already occupied-on the second
and third floor fourteen ive-room flats offer
to the housekeeper unequalled facilities for a
cheap and pleasant home, the apartments
being arranged with convenience that ad-
ministers to comfort and happiness. Each
fiat possesses bedrooms, a parlor, kitchen,
large pantry and bath room, and with the
wide porches at the rear, are models of their
kind, with ample light and ventilation, large
wide halls and high ceilings. On the whole
we believe that the whole ncighborhood can
congratulate themselves on the improvement
and Mr.. Burris deserves commentator and
praise for his enterprise and spirit in con-
tributing so finely to the material advantage
OF st. Paul in this valuable investment.
