postal card famine: 1.-THE first postal
cards of the new issue are being sold to

handsome in appearance, the printed
matter being of light brown color.

various phraseology, as Put nothing on
this side but the address, and Nothing
but the address can be placed on this

but the address to be on this side.' The
words United States appear on a scroll
and under them the words postal card,

the two lines. A youthful head of JEFF

Raisins and Cholera.

San Francisco. Sept. 2.-Considera-
BILE excitement has been caused among
the importers of groceries IN this city by
statements tending to show the existence
OF a scheme to introduce cholera infected
raisins into the United States. 1t ap-
pears that one of the leading houses in
the trade on the Pacific coast has advIces
from its agent in New I ork stating that
one of the largest buyers of imported
ralsIns has just received dispatch from
Malaga stating that the product this year
Is very large and of excellent quality and
that the presence OF cholera in Spain
will not act as an impeachment in the way
of shipment to the United States. This
Is alledged to have been accompanied by
letter of William Smith, health officer
of the port of New York, to firm OF
importers in which he says: Fruits are
gathered in infected districts, but are
packed and shipped from non-infected
points and Will not on that account sub
ject the vessel TO delay at qusran-
tine" This refers directly to
the import of raislDs from
Malaga and DeRia. Referring
to these statements those prominent IN
the fruit trade and experienced packers
declare there is great danger of tie IN.
PRODUCTION of cholera microbes in raisins
from the injected districts of Spain, as
packed fruit easily absoFbs microbes and
| retains them for great length OF time.

General Grant,s career.

The story of General Grants life
sayors more of romance than reality;
il is more like a fable of ancient days
than the history of an American citi-
zen of the nineteenth century. AS
light and shade produce the most at
tractive effects in picture, SO the
contrasts in the career of the lamented
General, the strange vicissitudes OF
his eventful life, surround him with an
interest which attaches to few charao-
tiers in history.
His rise from the obscure lieutenant
to the commander of the veteran
armies of the great republic, his trans
ition from frontier post of the un-
trodden West to the Executive Man
sion of the nation; his sitting at one
time in little store in Galena, not
even known to the Congressman from
his district; at another time striding
through the palaces of the Old World
with the descendants of line OF kings
rising and standing uncovered In his
presence; his humble birth in an Ohio
town scarcely known to the geogra-
.pher; his distressing illness and cour-
ageous death in the bosom of the ma
/ ton he had saved-these are the fea-
| lures of his marvellous career which
/ appeal to the Imagination, excite men s
/ wonder. and fascinate the minds Of all
who make study of his life.
Many of the motives which actuated
him and the real sources Of strength
employed in the putting forth OF his
singular powers viii never be fully
| understood, for added to q habit OF
| communing much with himself was a
mcdesty which always seemed to make
him shrink from speaking of a matter
SO personal to him as an analysis of
his own mental powers, and those who
| knew him best sometimes understood
| him the least. His most intimate as
sociates often had to judge the man
by the results accomplished, without
| comprehending the causes which pro
/ duced them. Even to the writer OF
this article, after having served with
the General for nine years continuous

Dental Mansion, he will in some re-
spects always remain an enigma Hls

The Texan Desperate.

NEW YORK. Sept. flames T. Hol-

Tom Davis yesterday, was taken TO po-
lice headquarters this morning for the
purpose of giving the detectives an OPP
portunitY of seeing him. He appeared
unconcerned and seemed to look upon
his arrest as a mere formality. Holland
was handcuffed to the detective and
crowds followed them through the
streets. When asked how he felt. Hol-
land replied: ooh, am all right" He
refused to say anything about the affair
beyond the tact that Davis and his pals
had tired to rob him.

an uproar over the bold act.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, Sept. This
of excitement and indignation by the
arrest OF Robert DoxeY and Mrs. Wash
johnson upon the eve of their departure
from the state, charged with the murder
of Doxey's wife about four weeks ago.
Doxey and Mrs. Johnson made trip to
Tupelo, Mississippi, during which time,
as las recently been disclosed, they
passed as husband and wife. Shortly
after their return, Doxey and his wife
visited Mrs. johnson, aud while there
Doxey's wife was taken suddenly Ill and
died without physician being called in.
The remains were inferred without a
post mortem examination Since the
death of Mrs. DoXey, her husband and
Mrs. johnson have been intimate, and
both cold their effects and made prepar-
etions TO leave the state, which excited
suspicious, and they were arrested FIJI
day, Mrs. johnson resisting arrest with
a pistol. 1t was developed that Doxey
the day before his wife's death bought
strychnine of q druggist here, saying ii
was for coons that were destroying bis
corn. He also bought some liver pills
and quinlne, saying his wife was very sick
and he believed she would die. When
Doxey got home that night he gave his
wife two pills, and repeated the dose
next morning. Mrs. johnson to-day SAID
that Tuesday morning, after giving his
wife the pills, DoxeY called for saucer
and some flour, making two alleged
quinine pills, and gave them TO his wife
and that she died in two hours. This
Doxey denies, and says his wife IN heI
diving moments told him Mrs. johnson
gave her some medicine which tasted
badly, and says she was poisoned
The magistrate committed both
without bail to answer the murder. Mrs.
Doxey was enciente. Doxey IS nephew
of the late General Hindman of Arkan-
sas. His mother IS an excellent woman
and Is Frustrated with grief. He has
two brothers, honest, industrious men
Mrs. johnson is a woman of splendid
physical Developments beautiful
blonde. The body of Hrs. Doxey has
been exhumed, and the stomach will be
analysed, and If found to contain poison
it is hardly probable the people will wait
tor the courts to pass judgment upor
Doxey. Last March Mrs. Johnson's hus
band and his horse were found dead in
ditch, where they had fallen during the
night, and as DoxeY was frequently with
HIM it is now hunted that johnson, a.
