The good citizens of New York City,
and they comprise vast majority of its
inhabitants-are greatly annoyed at the
tone of the letters sent from that CITY to
western papers. Twenty years ago the
practice among leading journals in
other cities was to employ somebody of
intelligence and character in New York
to write weekly letter, supplementing
the scanty reports about many impor-
tant occurrences which were tele-
graphed in those days, and treating
current matters in an honest and sensi-
bic way. The immense increase in the
use OF the wires by the press within re-
cent years has greatly restricted the old
field of the correspondent, and the
business has for the most part fallen
into the hands of INSCRIPTIONS Bohe-
mans, who deliberately, concoct the
most sensational stories about the state
OF society in New York, and newspapers
at the west which should be above such
business, place this worse than worthless
stun before their readers With their en-.
dorsement. These letters, about the
universal immortality of men and tho
wholesale drunkenness among the WON.
on, are swallowed without q gulp BY
multitudes of honest people. Indeed,
they seem to deceive editors Who MIGHT

Tho belief that means of prevent
ing the spread of cholera by incubation
has been discovered by DR.. Ferran, Il
young Spanish physician, Is attaining
such currency that it is proposed to
make the matter subject of investiga-

Ferran has inoculated many persona,
himself among the number, with the
cultivated bacillus or cholera microbe
to which attention was first called by
DIR. Koch. No case of death has oc-

OF course, it is impossible to say how
long the security obtained from inocu-

termined by experience; but it is Dos
slble that at last a certain means of
staying the ravages of cholera has been
found.

The New Senator.

Spooner, the new Republican Sena-

below medium stature-in fact, rather
a teaspooner in size. Although there
does not seem tc be anything the mat
ter with his brain, his ply sical appear

a sense of greatness. Naturally he is
little sensitive on this point. The
other day while sitting in a newspaper
office here he was introduced to =.
gentleman as Colonel Spooner, of
Wisconsin"
"Ah! glad to know you. Are you a
relative of the new Senator of that
name?''
The mutual friend fastened to explain
that the Colonel and the Senator were
identical. The gentleman looked at
Spooner in a ha1f-incredulous sort Of
way, as if sizing him up and judging
him by the standard of q tape line.
He at the same time begged his pardon
in tone that poorly concealed his
surprise. The newly hedged statesman
could stand it no longer; and exclaim-
ed with some petulance:
Great Scott! do you suppose man
has got to be seventeen feet high in
order to be a United States Senator?''

which he whipped the Afghans and &C.

the early demand of the British press
that Gen. Komaroff should be recalled
and disgraced, by the way OF reparatlon

the car approves of Gen. Komaroff's
action, but it is also significant hint
that he and all other Russian generals
are expected to do so again on a similar
excuse.

Gen. Sheridan on the Apache Outbreak.
In reference to the trouble with the Apaches,
Gen. Sheridan thinks the hostiles will soon be
overtaken and punished He said: The band
of Apaches now on the warpath are bad lot;
and nothing short of humiliation would in
sure the section Of country over which they
are roaming against further murderous ex-
petitions. The country Is SO exposed and so
sparseiy settled that no defense can be made
against tho Indians, and their hostility is only
learned after they have slipped away and muir
dered isolated settlers. The mountainous
character Of the country makes it easy for
them to steal upon tho settlements with
out notice of discovery, and the passes and can
yons with which they arc familiar assists their
escape and makes it difficult for the troops to
pursue them. In addition to the depredations
committed by tho Apaches, the effect of their
presence in Arizona and New Mexico is to ter
rorize the country and prevent it's develop
ment by hindering immigration. I do not be-
lieve these no tile Apaches will SUR ',der, and
the probable result will be, if overtaken by the
troops, humiliation. It will be difficult to

increase of national bank capital was
about SIS, 100000 during 1884, and the
