UyJNr IN CHOITRl

Tie cholera epidemic of 1882 was very dcstruc-
tive in France, and there arc mo- doubt many Ameri-
can, now living who remember the mortality caused
bv il on this continent among the troops Just
mustered for the Black Hawk War Heinrich
Ilcine was at that time in Paris, where he wrote
letters to "A German journal, and IN one OF these
letters hc has left a graphic and characteristic
account of the terrible situation at the French
captal When the disease was raging fercely in
the midst of population ignorant and careless OF
all sanitary regulations, a report was spread abroad
that The mortality was not the result Of dlseas"
but of poison which was being carefully distributed
in the water supply. the markets. and the restau-
rants With almost incredible folly the Govern
mcnt ORGANS confirmed this dangerous deuslon by
declaring that the police had discovered the poison
crs. The result was popular outbreak, III which
many lives were lost, the enraged people stopping
and searching every stranger, and II they found
upon him any suspicious powders or liquids then
and here numbering him in the most ierocious man
ner. 1t turned ont afterward that all the victims
were persons who were carrying dsnfectants
about with them. Helne was witness OF one OF
these murders and gives CHASTITY description of
the scene.
lie quotes Paris paper of the time as stating
that two thousand deaths occurred in one day, and
he saws the public believed this to be deliberate
underestimate Heine himself say the demand for
vehicles to carry oil the dead was 50 great that 1t
was common to see ordinary cabs used as hearses,
the coffin beng so managed that the ends projected
on either side from the windows. At the same
time large wagons piled constantly through the
streets collecting the dead. lie tells a story of an
old woman who lived on the principal route OF the
funerals She sat mp night to count the hearses
passing her door, and noted down three hundred
i'm a few hours Hcine followed the body of a
friend to Pcre-la Chaise. ana on approaching the
place found himself in the midst of throng of
funerals 50 thick that hours elapsed before he could
reach the cemetery The Court and the principal
people Of the Government behaved very WELL but
the tradeSpeople were panic stricken, and fed IN
crowds The superstition which in 1882 caused
the Parisians TO believe the wild rumor OF poison
evidently has not died out of France yet as is
shown in the belief of the Marseillas that the
doctors are killing their patients instead of curing
them. The epidemic OF 1882 caused 100000
deaths in France according to Mulhall and the
ratio of mortality TO seizures was nearly fifty per
cert The present epidemic is evidently much less
severe. even though it be Asiatic cholera.
