though the latter in fairness awaits also the

The Cholera in SDoiD.

The cholera this summer in Spain does
not appear to exotic as much alarm in
this country as it did when in France last
summer; and, yet, the prospects are that
the rayages of the disease in Spain will
be far more fearful than they were in
France.
The present is practically the beginning
of summer, and in Spain between four
and five months of hot weather may yet
be expected. And what is the record /?
The number of cholera victims Is already
about 5,Dea in eight provinces. This num-
ber is equal to more than half of all who
died in France of the disease last year.
The rate of mortality is far greater than
1t was in France, and greater even than
it was in Naples when the disease was at
it's worst in that city. 1t is
stated that the death rate in
France was two in seven and Italy three
in seven. In some of the Spanish PROV
inces, particularly in Murcla, halt of
those attacked have died. With such a
death rate so early in the season, and so
near the beginning of the attack, it is fear
full to contemplate what it will be before
the end is reached.
1t is stated that very nearly all of those
attacked are residents Of the slums and
villages where sanitary regulations are
unknown, and where little attention is
paid to personal cleanliness. OF course
business is paralyzed, and occupations Of
almost ali kinds are suspended. Menaced
by such a terrible foe, the people have lit
tie heart to do anything. 1t is apparent
that II this condition of affairs continues
long there must soon be an appeal to the
civilized world for help.

THE Peach King of America"

John H. Parnell, brother of the Irish
agitator, is peach grower in Georgia.
His great peach forest is described as
containing acres and acres of ground,
stretching indeed into miles, covered
with every variety of tree. The trees,
which number 100000, are planted
twelve feet apart, and are kept
trimmed to the ground, so that a per
son standing can pick the rosy fruit
from it's fastness. When the first
blush comes upon the cheek of the
dainty beauties 100 men, women and
children are set to work, each armed
with a fiat basket, returning to the
rendezvous when the bottom is COW
cred. Thus they keep on day after
day until the season is over. The
story of Mr.. Parnell's ventures briefly
this: He invested $4,000 in his plan
tation. He has spent over $4,000
since in trees, seeds, and labor. Upon
this investment he makes from S.
600 to $4,000 year, and would not
sell his peach forest for less than $780,
600. Great as Charles Stewart Par
nell is as the uncrowned King of Ire
land, greater is John III. Parnell, the
Peach King of America.

Seals Unwelcome in San Fran cisco
From the New York Evening Post.l

From the New York Evening POST
The seal is coming to be can issue"
on the Pacific Coast. The animal has
always been found around the harbor
OF San Francisco, but of late has ap-
peared to bemore common than form
erly. A commission was recently ap-
pointed to investigate whether the
diminution of fish Ia the waters of the
bay and harbor approaches might
not be due to this fact, and their re-
port sustains the theory. They esti-
mate that there are 1000 seals in the
immediate vicinity, and that they con-
sumo 100 tons Of fish day, or 49,
500 tons a year, which exceeds the
weight of all the fish brought into the
San Francisco market for consump-
ton in the city and all the suburban
towns. AS the seal respires above
water and can only stay under the
water q short time, he makes no i'm
preston on deep water fish, like the
cod, rock and sea bass, but preys ex-
clusively upon salmon, shad, herring
and other kinds of fish which feed
along the shore and in harbors and
rivers where there is only a moderate
depth of water. The salmon fisher
men suffer most severely, the seals
swarming around their nets by night,
biting large holes and stealing great
numbers of fish in this way. The evil
is already serious and threatens to
grow worse if the intruders are really
multiplying, as is generally believed.
There is a growing opinion that the
seal must go, but the practical diff
Guilty is how he can be made to leave.
The seals about San Francisco are Of
an inferior sort, and it is doubtful
whether their skins and oil would pay
for the trouble Of killing them, if the
old prohibition upon their slaughter
should be repealed.
