safeguards of quarantine. Fumiga-
ton of passengers, baggage, etc.,
takes place at no les than ten sta
tons of the three railway lines run
ming into the city. One is subjected
to the same operation in the Madrid
stations, where passengers and their
luggage are again closely inspected,
while a close watch is kept on the
fruit and vegetable market. Under
the influence, partly of fear, partly of
custom, thousands of the richer in.
habitants have fled for refuge to the
sixteen provinces of the north and
northwest, not yet attacked; many
even having pushed on into France,
Notwithstanding the rigorous sani-
tary precautions that have been en-
forced on the Pyrenean frontier since
the cholera has declared itself in
Saragossa, Barcelona, Pampeluna
and the valley of the Ebro.
The accounts received from the
provinces are heartrending. The ep-
idemic appears to be extending, eC-
pecially in the east of the peninsula.
In the province of LOria its ravagps
are terrible. In single town in that
district $50 corpses have been lying
exposed for three days, all the ply
sicians, all the municipal councillors
except one and all the grave diggers
having persisted. Advices from
Murcia announce that 70 corpses re-
main unburied in the town of Ajecia,
whence almost all the survivors have
fled. In AndaIusia also the pesti.
LEDGE is spreading. At MOnteguado
y fourth of the inhabitants have been
carried off in ten days; the town is
without any physician, and the sing lie
surviving gendarme is occupied in
interring the dead bodies. The cred
its vo;ed for combating the epidemic
are exhausted, and the government
will be obliged to cOnvoke the cOun-
ell of state to obtain resources.
The disease is beginning seriously
to affect the treasury receipts. Dur
ing May there was further decrease
of several millions in the amount of
imports, with a consequent loss of
900, 000f. to the customs. The figures
for June and July have been forced
to pledge 4 per cent amOrtissable
bonds and drafts on the bonds and
drafts on the army re-enlistment fund
as security for an immediate advance
of 80, 600, 000f. to meet current expen-
ses, and the bank will pay itself later
if it be found possible to get in the
taxes, which are now leyied with
the greatest difficulty in the afflicted
districts, The floating debt has thus
again made its appearance, and
should the epidemic last on till the
autumn, as there seems every prOba-
biIity of its doing, this debt must
rapidly increase.

A Remarkable Story.

The Presbyterian Dfo1thly is re-
sponsible for this story During an
illness of Mrs. SpurgeOn, before Mr..
Sturgeon left her room for the jour-
ney he was contemplating. she re-
marked that she hoped he would not
be annoyed with her for telling him
what had been passing through her
mind. She made him, however,
promise that he would not try to pro-
cure the objects for which she had been
longing. She then told him that she
had been wishing for a piping bull
finch and an onyx ring. OF course
Mr.. Spurgeon EXPIRE ssed his willing
ness to get both, but she held him to
his promise. He had to make sick
call on his way to the station, as we'll
as call at the Tabernacle. Shortly
after reaching the sick PERSONS house
the mother and the patient, to his
amazement asked Mr.. SpurgeOn if
Mrs. S., would like piping bull
finch: that they had one, but that its
music was trying on the invalid and
they would gladly part with it to
one who would give it the requisite
care. He then made his call at the
Tabernacle, and, after reading VOL
luminous correspondence, came at last
to letter and parcel underlying the
other letters. The letter was from a
lady unknown to him, who had re-
ceived benefit from his services in
the Tabernacle, and she, as slight
token of her appreciation of these
services, asked his acceptance of the
inclosed onyx ring, necklet and
bracelets, for which she had no fur
Their use. This intensified his sur
prise, and he fastened home with
what had been so strangely sent. went
up to his wife's sick room, and plac-
ed the object she had longed for be-
fore her. She met him with look
of panied reproach, as if he had al
lowed his regard to override his
promise, but when he detailed the
true circumstances of the case, she
was filled with surprise, and asked
Mr.. Sturgeon what he thought of it.
His reply was Characteristic: 81

Imprisonment for debt is still pos
sible in New York. In the New
York World of Monday there is
description of some of the inmates of
Ludlow Street Jail, detained there
for debt. From the accounts it seems
that the prisoners are detained upon
orders of the court, and not upon
mere judgments for money. Yet
they are none the less imprisoned in
default of payment of money, not in
the nature of fine. One old man Of
sixty-fOur has been in Jail for thirteen
months on judgment for $40. An.
other was there fora year, and was at
last released by fellow prisoner,
who paid for him the S25 on which
he was held. This seems very strange
in free and happy America. The
vivid accounts which Dickens gave
Of the Fleet Street Prison and the
Marshalsea in the England of forty
years ago produced a profound i'm
preston on the English-speaking
world, and in America the evils of
Imprisonment for debt were swept
away by remedial statutes, or at least
were greatly mitigated. But they
appear to linger in New York. In
Maryland imprisonment for debt is
forbidden by the Constitution of the
state. Section 3S declares CURLY
mo person shall be imprisoned for
debt" A vast amount of human
suffering has been saved by the en-
actment of those seven words.

Grim Cholera Facts from Spain.

From Galignani's Messenger.
The civil and military authorities
of Madrid are making strenuous
preparations against the eventually
of the cholera spreading throughout
the city in the autumn. as medical
men generally seem to fear will be
the case. In each reimbursement of
the local juntas a small hospital for
fifty cases is being organized, in adj
di.ion to district hospitals capable in
case of need of accommodating 600 to
1000. Special isolated cholera wards,
moreover, haye been established in
all the civil and military hospitals of
the city. So far Madrid itself has
suffered but lightly, and no case has
yet occurred among the troops of the
garrison, numbering nigh on $4,000
men. The houses wherein the dis
ease has passed are thoroughly fumi-
gated and dlsinfected, the inhabi-
tants being turned out and sent to
the refugees of the assistance pu6tique.
The poor quarters of the old town,
with their narrow streets, unhealthy
courts, dark staircases, obscure and
badly ventilated apartments, where
in whole families are crowded to-
gether pellmell, and support exls-
tence God knows h0w-such quarters
are the veriest hotbeds for propagat-
ing the foul disease. Unfortunately
their inhabitants are invariably re-
fractory to the cleansing measures
essayed by the authorities, and will
frequently conceal their sick for the
purpose of preventing their being
sent to the hospital and the rooms
disinfected.
AS it is impossible to convert this
population to hygienic principles, the
authorities are attempting to sur
