Cremation as a CHOLERA Preventive.

From Progress.
The Cremation society of San Francisco, be-
lieys that CT emation is preventive Of the
spread Of cholera. They claim that this opin-
ion ID endorsed by medical intelligence.
It NAV be that this is not new ar
gument in support of cremation, but
whether it be or not, it is entitled
to consideration. If cremation possesses
any merit as a prevention against this
disease, that should have great weight in
urging tho larger adoption Of this means OF
dispoSing of dead bodies. We can talk o.
cremation more calmly now than we could
even q few months in the past, and this
cholera "point" ought to have the most
careful investigation.

On Wednesday evening two musiciann ono
with an organ and another with two drums,
cymbals and other Instruments appeared on
North Queen street. At every move they
were followed by crowd Of yelling boys
who 20 annoyed them that they stopped play
ing and started for home. The gang Of young
roughs followed them TO their hotel and
seemed determined upon rlaguing them.
The police would have had good field to
work upon among them, but they were
probably interested in ferreting out mys-
ferrous pickpockets at that time or talking
politics.
The boys who are allowed to run on the
streets at night are OF the worst kind, and a
gang Of them annoyed every one living
between Orange and North Queen streets
between and 10 o'clock Wednesday night.
They gathered in front Of stores and saloons
and would not move. Chief Haines go1
among them once, but they were not greatly
worried by his mighty presence, and became
worse after he had gone. A good cowhidt
would do more good among them than the
brave chief and his whole force.

When man living in Texas city came home to dinner the other day, his wife told him that their neighbor over the way had sent to borrow an axe.
 "What did you do ?" exclaimed the husband.
 "As we didn't have any axe, sent them word to that effect"
 "Mother of Moses we are a ruined community. Send right of to hard ware store and buy gilt-edged axe, and carry it over yourself Didn't you know that our neighbor's wife's uncle lives in New York, and the whole family are obliged to have fat offices within ninety days9 Those are the kind of people we want to be on good terms with"

Don't want me to marry your mother, eh2 Don't think that am entitled to the rights of an American citi. zen3 Reckon you have told your mother that you intend to whale me, eh? Well, we'll see"
 Then he would dash at the pretended image of the youth who stood between him and his hearts desire, and, it may be strange to say, he was always success full.
 Jasper took great interest in the stu. dent and so far forgot his professional etiquette as to let the youth into some of the deepest secrets of the science. He assured the lover that he could not fall short of victory, and, on several occa- sions, shook hands with him in con. gratulatory manner.
 One day, just before the two months of training had expired, Bill, while riding along the road, met young Collins.
 "Say, Bill, ma tells me that you want to marry her"
 "Yes, what have you got to say about it?"
 Dan laughed. "What have got to say about it, why confound your hide, do you suppose that would allow such plug ugly as you are to marry my moth- ers Why, I'd have to call you out early every morning."
 "What for?"
 "To take your whipping"
 " It would take better man than you to whip me, Dan Collins"
 Yes, that's what you think, but when ever you feel like trying your hand, just come over and l will give you a few touches that will show you who's in the field"
 Dan, blowing amounts to nothing, but say, if whip you fairly-whip you until you are satisfied, will you then agree that if marry your mother you will be- have yourself2"
