blood gushed from his ears, nose and
mouth, but he was conscious and
knew those who we're around him

was highly respected in his neighbor-
hood of Mt Calm, where his father
resided.

what Health officer. snead urges
our Peep 10 do.

To the Citizens Of Waco.
Cholera is rapidly spreading in
Europe, and every day we may hear
the announcement of It's appearance
In America. The National Board of
Health urges the danger as imminent.
II 10 far more likely to invade this
country thro' some of our gulf sea-
ports than bv way of the Atlantic
seaboard. Should 1t become epidem-
ic in America, Waco, situated ON the
great line of travel from Galveston
aud Mexico 10 the great western cit
les, can hardly escape. The sanitary
condition OF our city is such as 10 of
fer a standing Invitation, not only to
cholera, but also to our near enemy,
yellow fever, and typhoid fever. The
danger is grave and menacing. To
say nothing ofthe suffering and death,
the desolate, stricken homes, the Wild
ows and orphans that would be made,
the pecunary loss that we would sus-
tain, would be many times greater
than the cost of putting the city in
good, clean condition, and doing all
In our power to avert sllcha calamity.
Our city council says the treasury il
empty and the city has no money to
do her part. They must devise some
means of raising the needed funds.
!, Agitate this quetion; press II on
them, speak, as a people, with no UNI
certain sound SO that they shall be in
structed how to act. The danger is
too great for hesitancy. But even
were there surplus in the treasury,
each citizen has a duty-he must see
that his own premises are put in the
best condition. Clean up yourself
and see that your neighbors do the
same, and that the city does her part
too. Without your support
your health officer is helpless, his
hands are tied. Give me your intel
ligent support and hearty co-opcra-
ton, and much good can be done
Rake up and burn all the combustiblc
trash and filth about your premises,
cart off your slope, see that your
privies are cleaned and well lined
(quicklime III small pieces with coars.
ly ground charcoal is an excellent
disinfeutanD In specially foul places
use chloride OF lime-one pound &c
( four gallons of water-or corrosive
sublinate-one part to 5000 of water
poisonous, so handle with carc.)
Ten days from this notice the police
will begin house to house inspec
tion. II your premises are not in
order You will be cited before the
recorder. No other notice will b,
given. Now appeal to you, by al
You hold dear, TO go to work and pu
your houses in order. Sanitary laws
are necessarily arbitrary. Thos'
who will not obey them must bt
made to do so for the public good.

OLD FOGY PREJUDICE.

The corporation of the city of Lon
don is a very venerable and a very
conservative body, using the word in
its natural and not in its political
sense. Indeed it is far more conser-
vative, as rule, than the House of
Lords itself Since the dynamiters
attempted to blow up Guildhall the
London City Fathers have cherished
an intense feeling of horror towards
all and sundry who may be in adj
vance of the majority on social, po-
litical and economic questions.
French and Americans are special
objects of aversion in this regard. 1t
is doubtful whether Parnell is as cor
and kind-hearted American doctrfn-
aire, Henry George is by the class of
Englishmen from which the Corpora
ton of the City of London is elected.
But when it comes to q Frenchman,
the traditional antagonism of Eng
lish to French swells the Aldermanac
breast till it is like to burst. Accord
ly, when Sir John Bennett, an adj
vanced Liberal, asked leave at a re-
cent meeting of the City Corporation,
of which he is a meE1ber, to move
resolution of coincidence with the
family of Victor Hugo on his death,
there was something akin to a riot in
the Council Chamber. Lord Mayor
Fowler fatty refused to put the ques-
ton asking permission to make the
motion. An appeal was taken against
this ruling, and after disgraceful
and noisy scene, leave was refused.
Victor Hugo is regarded by the Eng
