Spreading.

MADRID. August 31.-The statistics OF chOl-
era in Spain for the past week show roughly
that there was a daily average decrease of
300 new cases and 40 deaths. In Granada
and Saragossa this decrease was most nota-
BILE, while in Madrid and Barcelona there
was no change. In Palencia, Toledo and
Sonora there was an increase in the number
of cases and deaths.
There were ), ,S33 new cases of cholera and
l,24S deaths from the disease reported
throughout Spain yesterday.
TOULoN, August 31.-Cholera appears TO be
decreasing. But deaths occurred from the
disease during the fifteen hours ending
at ) O'Clock this afternoon. There
seems to be little if any decrease in the panic
among the people, however One thousand
workmen have deserted their places at the
Arsenal and fed before the scOurge. Both
divisions of the evolutionary squadron have
been removed from TOulon and stationed on
the Gulf of San Juan to await the subsistence
of the epidemic.

PARNELL'S MANIFESTO.
Comments Of the London Press on Parnells
Speeches in London.
The Times, Standard and Daily News EX-
press Opinions ParneIl's Predic-
tiOns in Regard tn the Outcome of
the Nationalist Programme.

LONDON, August 26.-Mr. Parnells Dublin
speech of yesterday has thoroughly aroused
the Conservative press of England. The
Times says that no prudent politician can
underrate the Importance Of the action
taken by the Irish Nationalists at their con-
ference in Dublin yesterday. Mr.. Parneps
programme continues the Times, may
however, meet with a fate similar TO that
which befell O'ConnelIs at the time when
Irishmen were as confident as they are Mr.
Parnell demands the repeal of the union, 50
the Irish question is no longer a question of
loyal self-government- This might be ac-
ceded to by England, who viii never listen
70 a plea for the separation of Ireland
The Herald says Mr. Parnell has de
clared 1t viii be a shame and a dis
aSter if English statesmen of both parties
fail to battle him. We do not pretend to
ignore the danger TO which the Imperial
unity IS exposed. Mr.. Parnell now holds a
strong hand The late liberal majority in
Parliament could afford TO ignore him, but
il will be different in Parliament evenly
balanced between the two parties. Mr.. Par
nell has, however, rivals by the score. He
knows very well how precious his tenure of
authority is. If both the Wings and Tories
make it clear at the outset that Mr. Pdrnell's
demand for homie rule will be met with a
firm opposition, his influence Will be
doomed"
The News takes advantage of the excite
ment over Mr.. Panell's bold declaration for
Irish independence, to exhibit the advantage
which large liberal majority would be to
the country. The liberals, argues the News,
gre more likely to oppose the Parnellite de
mands than the conservatives.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin will give a
banquet at the Mansion House next Tuesday,
to Mr.. Parnell and his Irish colleagues in the
House of Commons

Don't Use Big Words.

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations,
or articulating your superficial sentimental
tiles and amicable, philosophical or psyche
logical observations, beware of platitudinous
ponderosity Let your conversational COM
munications possess clarified conciseness,
a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent
consistency, and a concatenated cogency.
Eschew all conglomerations of fatulent gar
rulity, jejune babblement and asinine atfec-
tions Let your extemporaneous descant-
ings and unprecedented expatiations have
intelligibility and veracious vivacity, with
out rhodomontade or thrasonical bombast,
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity,
pompous prolixity, psittaceous Vacuity, ven
triloquial verbosity and yaniloquent vapld-
ity. Shun double entendres, prurient jo-
costly and pestiferous profanity, obscurant
or apparent. In other words, talk plainly,
briefly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully, pure
ly. Keep from 'slang;;" don't put on airs;
say what you mean; mean what you say.
And don't use big words.-Jounat Of Ed

TAKING ACCOUNT OF SToCK.-The
Scientific American makes a good sugges-
ton to young mechanics-that they should
follow the example of capitalists and bust
ness men by taking an account of stock
each year to discover exactly how they
stand, and what they can do to improve
their condition. The stock of the work
ing man may not be in money or goods,
but is in other things, some of which
may be improved or increased by little
consideration. The poorest laborer, with
nothing but health and strength, has in
these the equivalent in earning power OF
$4,000 in Government bonds, and this
capital may either be dissipated by drink
and bad habits or increased by cultivation
of skill in the handling of tools. As the
higher grades of labor are reached the
field broadens for an effective use of these
elements of capital, and money, too, begins
to accumulate to help the development.
Taking an occasional account of stock, and
endeavoring always to make better invest
ment of strength and skill and knowledge
of mechanics, can scarcely fail to be of as
much service to the manual laborer as to
the business man, who, with different
kind of capital, watches the course of trade
ALPHABETICALLY looks over his stores to
make sure of how he stands.
