CHOLERA SPREADING.
A Fearful Fatality shown in ALI Direo-
tiOns in Spain and France.

MADRID, August ,4.-The number of
new cases of cholera in Spain yesterday
was $3.50; deaths, 1880. Since the be.
ginning Of the epidemic there have been
1855 cases, and 7a,347 deaths. During
the past twelve hours 16 new cases and E
deaths are reported in the city, and in prov
inces outside the city 11S new cases and
IS deaths.
MARsEILLEs, August ,4.-Cholera is as
suming form which the doctors are un.
able to cope with. Victims die suddenly
without the occurrence of diarrhoca or
vomiting. The patients feel a GOODNESS
which cannot be counteracted by the use
Of reactives or even by the most violen,
friction. Two hours after death the body
becomes black. Although the epidemic il
not contagious, it is feared that 100 deaths
daily will soon be recorded.
The noon hour has already passed and
the situation is alarming. Within the pas,
IS hours 700 new cases have been admitted
to the Pharo hospital, and during the same
period 200 deaths from the disease have
been reported within the city limits, be.
sides 50 in the Southern suburbs.

BANQUET TO PARNELL.
No Loyal TOasts-He Eulogixes His Fol
lowers.

Alta banquet to Mr.. Parnell at Dublin
on the ,4th, thirty eight Parnellites were
present Loyal toasts were omitted. Mr..
Parnel eulogized his followers io- their
courage and selfdenial. He said there
was one thing on their programme-to re-
store the Irish Parliament. When that
Parliament assembled in Dublin it would
develop the Healy clauses Of the land act,
make the tenant the owners OF their hold
ings and rccur to the laborers their share
in the land. Mr.. Parnell dwelt upon the
importance Of securing loyal and self.
denying members in the next Parliament
for the final battle for home rule, before
which he hoped to pass further remedial
measures. He sketched the tasks of the
Dublin Parliament, which would consist
Of single chamber. He hoped that the
coming party would be strong enough to
restore the Independence Of Ireland.
Justin Mccarthy presided at the banquet.
In Sackville street an enormous crowd
collected and cheered necessarily during
the banquet.

SPAIN IN TROUBLE.
She Protests Against the Annexation Of
the Caroline Islands.

The reply OF Germany to Spain's pro-
test against the formers annexation of the
Caroline islands has been received by the
government at Madrid. 1t is couched in
friendly terms and in it the German gov
ernment offers to submit the claims of
Spain to the Carolines to fair examina.
tion. 1t is reported that two Spanish war
ships have occupied Yap, the chiefFislahd
Of the Caroline group. The feeling in
Madrid against Germany, becausexderer
assumption Of possession Of these islands
is SO bitter as to cause alarm. At q. meet.
ing Of the Geographical Society various
members made speeches denouncing the
action of Germany. Their remarks were
received with great applause. Fears are
entertained that hostile demonstrations will
be made against the German embassy, and
in consequence body of police have been
detailed to guard that building.
King Alfonso has instructed the Spanish
ambassador at London to proceed to Berlin
to entreat Emperor William to delay the
occupation OF the Caroline islands. He
fears that he will be deposed by his sub.
jects.

NJ 6EAvERHEAD COUNTY, NJ t. SATURDAY, AUGUST 90 1885,

Grand Canyon Of the Yellowstone. The
river here, compressed to about one hun.
dred fee: in width, advances rapidly, seems
to pause moment or the verge, then
falls over into gorge 900 feet below.
But the eye rests only few moments
on the Falls, beautiful as they are, but
wanders to the surroundings-its beautiful
setting, the Grand Canyon. We had seen
the Hot Springs, the geysers, the various
coloring Of the mud springs and Paint
Pots, but were unprepared for anything 80
gorgeous as the coloring of this canyon.
On each side Of US the walls, in some
places perpendicular, in others at various
angles, covered with crags, towering rocks
and tall pinnacles, all painted with the
most marvellous combination Of colors, as
brilliant as the most magnificent sunset,
yet with FAR more variety. You cannot
imagine how grand it is, accustomed, as
we are, to the sonbre tints Of nature. Up
from the river, which seems hardly more
than thread Of silver, rise the cliffs 1900
feet high. Over four times as high as the
Bunker Hill Monument, and over six times
as high as the tallesl spire in Pittsfield.
On one OF the pinnacles an eagle had built
its nest, and we could see the little eaglets
in their wild, romantic and secure retreat,
but the distance was; SO great that they
looked as small as humming birds.
1t was with difficulty that we tore our.
selves away from this enchanting spot
but were obliged to observe that old adage
"duty before pleasure" and walk back for
supper. We paid the Falls another visi,
before leaving the next morning, however
and the beauty Of that lovely spot will lin.
ger in my memory forever.
We left about noon and travelled home
ward as fast as possible, and reached Boze
man thoroughly tired, but perfectly de-
lighted with wonderful Wonderland.

Strange Apparitt0n.

Considerable excitement has been caused
in Cohoes, N. Y, by strange sight at the
residence of Mrs. Thomas Woods, whose in
FAINT child died on Wednesday. When the
undertaken was preparing the body for
burial, one of the pastors present suddenly
declared that the figure of cross and
chalice could be seen on the white cloth
that covered the child's face. Others looked
and saw the figures. The word went out
and people flocked to the house until it be.
came necessary to call on the police to keep
back the crowd back. The cloth was fire.
quently wet with water but the figures re-
mained. The spots where the cross and
chalice were outlined were of glistening
whittier shade than the remainder of the
cloth. About /, o'clock next day the
shadow disappeared. Many believe it to
have been miracle.

PASTOR AND PARIsHoSep
The Hubs Great Scandal Before the
Courts of Justi. Z.

=" oostoh OH the 2oth inst, hundreds OF
people came to see the ART alignment in the
Police Court chamber Of the Rev. w, w,
Downes, the well-known pastor of the
Bow Square Church, and Mrs. Fred. I.
Iaber, whnse arrest on last Monday night
has caused such sensation.
Judge Adams decided that warrant
must issue, and then the defendants went
up stairs INTO the general Court room. The
clergyman was recognized by the closely.
packed crowd as soon as he appeared in
the doorway. He was as unconcerned in
the face Of the prolonged stare as though
he was confronting an ordinary Sunday
audience. Mrs. Taber was just behind,
and when constable beckoned to them
they walked over to the opposite side of
the room and took seats near the clerk S
desk, seemingly unconscious Of the atten.
ton they were attracting.
Mrs. Taber sat down beside George w.
Lowther, one Of the Board of Assessors.
AS she was conversing with a number OF
friends who gathered around her, Deputy
Sheriff Fee approached with paper in his
hand, which he offered her to read. She
took it and glanced rapidly over its pages,
and then looked up with smile, and said
pleasantly, "All right" 1t was libel for
divorce filed by Fred. :. Taber against her
on charge of adultery. Without appar.
emily giving but a passing thought to the
document, she turned away in dignided
manner and took up the thread Of conver.
sation which had been broken.
A few minutes later the clerk called the
names of the defendants, and both re-
sponded not guilty. Without any exam.
ination the case was continued until Sep
tember II, and the two were ordered to
furnish bonds in the sum of $500 each 70,
their appearance. Mr.. Lowther gave the
necessary bonds and the two were allowed
to depart.
The expose is thus related BY the Police
officers: "Mr. Downes and Mrs. Tabe,
were both on the bed. Mrs. Taber had or
a skirt and sort Of jacket, while Mr.
Downes was minus his boots, coat ant
vest. AS we entered the room Mrs. Tabe,
screamed, while one of us turned up tn,
light Mr.. Taber threw himself upon Rev
Mr.. Downes, saying, I've got you thi'
time, you scoundrel.' Mr.. Taber released
his hold after moment or two, and on tn.
clergyman's arising from the bed he at
tempted to pursuade Mr.. Taber from pro
ceeding further. Mr.. Taber accused Rev
Mr.. Downes of seducing several ladies o
his congregation, and Rev. Mr.. Downe
retaliated by accusing Mr.. Taber of doing
the same"

AGAIN ''the melancholy days
have come, the saddest of the
year." The soft breath of Spring,
the glow of Summer have passed
away, to be recalled as one recalls
the fieeting days of youth, tran
silent glories, bright CLEANS Of a
brief happiness. Now, the breath
of Autumn with Winter touch re-
minds Us of the chill of coming age.
At this season Of the year the pine
lands Of our native Parish present
many attractive features for pleas
ant jaunts, picnics, etc. After a
slow, dreary ride through the spicy
pines, halt for one moment on the
top of a tall hill, overlooking the
bayous, and beautiful panorama
of charming hues is presented /;
give a backward glance to the hills
clothed in eternal green-the state
ly trees gracefully swaying to the
wind; listen to the soft signing of
the scented eeze;-then look
again at the lowlauds, where Au
tumn's ruddy warning of approach
ing frost is heralded on bough and
bush. The soft October haze wraps
the world in dreamland; the far
horizon seems to float in an impal-
pable sea of mist, rainbow tinted
with pearl, amethyst, amber and
opal. So pure, SO varifed is the
atmosphere that the landscape lies
apparently submerged, like lost
realm of paradise. The woods have
put on their regal colors Of gold,
purple and vermillion. Tawny-
haired September has bid US adieu;
October's frosty breath wraps the
world in sacrificial fire, each lofty
H.
tree or lowly bush bows its head in
obeisance to the Winter god. The
sumach blazes in smouldering
flame, the maple in regal state
keeps guard in Haunting colors,
the elm has donned her splendid
gala crown, the towering sycamore
in every breeze throws to the
ground his mantle of many colors,
the falling leaves chafe the turf in
modest wimple Of yellow and
white near by stands the oak, in
mighty height, lording it DER hill
and valley, his brow clothed in an
ameole of gold. Pale roses droop-
ing from their vines are signed with
Autumn's ruddy warning
"Lo, the blood upon the lintels
Pass the harmless roses by"
Summer and summer joys are
fled, the noisy insects hum is hush
ed, a little while and the splendid
glow Of Autumn will leave us and
Winter reign begins. Like a man
bent with age, the boyhood hours
of the year are gone, yet
"Surely Spring will come again,
And Summers fiercely blazing
sum-"
