A New Cholera Theory.

N NCw SnVhCE0 AnCOEys
THE RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION By AN
EMINENT PHYSICIAN OF PARIS.
A resident of Chicago has received from Dr. ].
Chapman, the eminent physician of Paris,
and successor to John Stuart Mill in his con-
nection with the Westminster Review
q letter in which he gives a new and import
ant theory of the cholera question, and fur
nishes some details Of the results of his expert
ments upon patients.
It has always been understood that Asiatic
cholera Is entirely due to germ or living Or
ganism, which finds its way into the system
the body of the sufferer providing an almost un,
limited supply Of these organisms for impart-
ing the disease to others. DR.. Chapman has de-
ton of this theory, and claims that he has sue
ceeded in scientifically demonstrating that ii is
The disease, he says, is In one senses blood
poison, nor Is 1t contagious. On the contrary
1t is, he declares, purely nervous disease, de-
ences, and these, being but "modes of motion,
are allied to, If not indentical with, sickness,
the causation and phenomena Of which are the
same.
He assumes and claims that by successful
treatment he has proven that cholera depends
upon simultaneous hyperRmic condition OF
nerves, the former controlling the secreting
glands and large voluntary muscles of the body,
while the latter controls the voluntary muscles
and elsewhere In the system. This ultimately
disease.
He adds that, acting on this hypothesis, he.
aims in practice to reduce the superabundance
Of blood in the spinal and sympathetic nerves,
accomplishing this by the application Of ice to
astonishing. During his practice in France
only dve cases out Of thirty mine treated In this
way proved fatal, or about II per cent, while
the ordinary mortality Of the disease is from SO
to 70 per cent DR.. Chapman gays that he win
shortly give his theory to the medical world in
exterior, and demonstrate its correctness by the
most logical and consistent deductions known
to pathology.

Please consider this question from Burns:
II am here at length, thanks to the Gods,
Through roads both deep and muddy;

Is not our rulers study,
And though am not with Gospel crammed,
The Bible plainly says,
That people surely shall be damned
Who do not mend their ways"

A DISCOVERY WHICH COMPLETELY UNNERyED

From the Philadelphia Times
''Shave me-" said small, pale-faced man
as he threw himself into a chair at Crosses bar
Der shop Sunday morning. Luigi AIgano
sharpened his razor and shaved him, but when
he had finished the stranger remained motion
less. 'Sleepa," muttered the barber as he shook
his customer. Then he looked more closely
at the palild face and exclaimed: "Ze man
deadr' Two other BARRIERS dropped their razors
and ran to the chair. Alganos exclamation
was true. He had shaved corpse. The Italian
was completely unnerve1 by the shock and
had to quit work. The cad man was Henry
Edwards. cook at Hughes restaurant. The
proprietor of the restaurant said he had talk
with Edwards Just before he went to the barber
shop and that he seemed in perfect health and
spirits. He wasa Englishman, mad not been
in this country long, aud had laid by a consid-
cradle amount of money to take home to his
family next Christmas. His death is attributed
to either apoplexy or heart disease.

The Civil Service Rules.

THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZES AN AMENDMENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-The President has
issued the following special rule for the regula-
ton and improvement Of the civil service /:
Especial rule NO. 2, approved July Is, 1884,
is hereby revoked. All applicants on any reg
lister for the postal or customs service, who, on
the first day of November next shall have been
thereon one year or more, shall, in conformity
with rule 16, be no longer eligible for appoint
ment from such register"
The amendment Is regarded as one of impor-
lance. The state democratic convention in
New York recommended it in their platform,
but 1t is stated at the White House that the
subject was under consideration by the civil
service commission long previous.
Special rule No. provided that all persons
who have successfully passed their examina-
ton previous to July 16th, 1884, could remain
on the register of eligibles for two years
from the date of their. respective
registrations. This was held to work
to the disadvantage of those who passed the ex-
animation later than July 18th, 1884: The re-
vocation Of the rule does not deter those who
were on the register of elgibles from again en-
tering for examination and pass higher If pos
Sible.

HI. M. Smith Said to Owe the Firm
About $l,OOO,OOO.

NEW YORK, October "A prominent broker
says: 'The effect Of the failure of Heath & Co.
is likely to be quiet market after to-day until
the street discovers the extent Of the losses"
1t is claimed that Henry N. Smith owes the
firm of VIM. Heath & Co. about 81 600 600,
and that the firm owes its Gus
ferences to Wall street houses are not
likely to amount to over 800. 900. Heath &
Co.. two seats in the New York Stock Exchange
are good for 500, 1000, so that Wall street houses
will lose very little by the failure. 1t is more
likely to strengthen the hands of the bulls, as
Smiths operations have often prevented
the market from advancing. It is stated
that Smith is also responsible for the
failure of Soutter & Co. having owed them about
s250,O0O. It is the opinion Of number Of
brought about by MIR. VIM. 81. Vanderbilt, who
advanced the market in order to break Smith
as punishment for Smiths betrayal of VIM. X.
Vanderbilt when they were operating together.
1t is estimated that Heath was short from
10000 to 100000 shares Of stock for Smiths
account.
All the settlements as far as Wall street is
concerned will be completed before o'clock
this afternoon by buying in all the stock in
which Heath & Co. were borrowing.

The Deepest Well In the World.
From the OIL, Paint and Drug Reporter.

CIU1n tuc Oh, I dfut anu drug 1NepOrVer.
The deepest well in the world is located at
Homewood, Pa. 1t is owned by George West
inghouse, Jr. The average depth Of the Home
wood wells is about 1850 feet. In the well
now drilling everything found OF the nature OF
gas or water at depth of 1000 feet was cased
of as unimportant, and the drill at present is
said to be. a little over 5000 feet below the
surface, which would make 1t by all odds the
deepest well in the world. A careful record Is
being kept and portions Of each formation en-
countered preserved. Since it would neces-
sarily have to be q very prolific gas vein to
justify such deep drilling, it is difficult
matter to conjecture the object that prompts
such work, unless it be purely to satisfy a NOR
bid curiosity. There are In Washington county
some wells drilled to depth of 4, 900 feet, and
the only others SO far as known approaching
the depth reached by Mr.. Westinghouse is an
artesian well in France, at which q depth of
5000 feet was reached.
