The Effect OF II.

On the first of January the authorities
of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonio railway issued an order prohib-
iting employees from entering saloon
or taking drink. 1t is useless to sup
pose that railroad men took less drinks
on account of such an order, but 1t had
the effect to drive men away from the
vicinity of the depot. Before the giving
OUT of this order, the rooms In the Vi
entity Of the Sunset depot were in de-
mand, but now employees prefer rooms
away oil out Of reach OF prylng eyes, even
If they are not disposed to dissipate.
The effect Of this order has been to in
jure business in the immediate neigh
borhood of the Sunset depot.

Tho Cholera at Marseilles.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-The Sec
Rotary of State has received detailed
report from Consul Mason, In regard to
the cholera Mt Marsellles, lie comments
on the false policy Of the authorities In
endeavoring to suppress the truth as to
the existence Of the disease. and speaks
Of the sensation caused by the rude
awakening on the nth ult., when the
community was shocked by the an
nouncement that an epidemic prevailed
In their midst. He says further that the
city realized that II wac In the first
stages of nm epidemic Of cholera, which
had not been imported from Spain or
elsewhere. The most elementary prin-
ciples of sanitary cleanliness are I'M
known In Marseilles. The cutters Of the
streets flow with the verlest filth. The
canals and sewers are in an Infected
part. on the eastern side of the port IL
one building which contains 200 inhab-
itants whose excrements are thrown into
reoesses OF the stairways. Behind the
Marie is n school for young girls, pois
oned by exhalations from the vaults Of
neighboring closets and aired only by
windows opening upon dark closed
court which Is n veritable stink. From
the LIST to the 10Th Of August there were
72l deaths, or an average of 80 per day.
The disease has also appeared seriously
in the suburbs of the city. The malady
has been relatively more fatal form
than last year to sailors of vessels In
port. and has been particularly serious
with seamen from England and SGandi-
navia. The disease manifcsls its char
acteristic preference for the dissipated,
the insane and the unclean. The present
situation and the record of the past sec
ondary epidemic indicates that the
scourge has perhaps reached Its maxi
mum fatality and will gradually subside
to finish In October or November.

CATTLE AND CATTLEMEN.
Commotion Caused by Governor 0glesby Quar-
antining Against Missouri Cattle

ST. LOUIS, April 29-The recent proclamation
by Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, prohibiting the
introduction into Illinois Of cattle from Missouri,
has created quite commotion in various parts
of the State, and receives the condemnation Of
all Governor Marmaduke has telegraphed Gov
ernor Ogiesby. asking him to reconsider his
action in declaring quarantine against Missouri.
An opinion prevails that Governor Oglesby's
proclamation is without the authority of
law, and it is asserted that if the officers of
Illinois attempt to enforce it as it now stands,
the courts win be appealed to for relief. This is
based upon decision of the United States SUI
criminate prohibition against the admission OF
cattle from other States and can only exclude
such cattle as prove, upon inspection or other
authority, to be actually diseased.
The executive Office Of the National Cattle and
Horse Growers Association furnished the fol-
lowing live stock bulletin for tho week ending
April 30
Vice presidents Milne and Stoneread, of Mex
CO, report that cattle and horses are doing
splendidly The universal sentiment of local
associations is adverse to crowding the ranges,
and condemns the United States land laws re-
lating to final proof on land entries, which Con-
gress will be requested to change.
In Arkansas heavy rains have prevailed, but
the weather is warmer now, grass growing finely
and cattle improving rapidly. There is no dis
ease, and the prospect is bright for this season.
In Pennsylvania the weather is cold and the
season backward, but cattle and horses are in
fair condition, and no disease is reported

off from the regular train and left there for the
excursionists. AS the affair was to be a surprise
to Mr. Davis. it was determined that Governor
Lubbock and Colonel Elliott should proceed to
Mr.. Daviss home and notify him that tho party
would, after dining on the car, come to his me
and pay their respects. This was dom
Davis expressed his regrets that h., -

escort the party back. Upon entering the
Governor Lubbock and Colonel Elliott intaN
duced the several guests. An hour was most#
delightfully."- passed about the halls galleries, and
grounds. when all returned to the car charmed
with the courteous treatment received A pleas
ing incident occurred when Governor Ireland, In
few happy remarks, announced the object OK
the vislt--vlz: to see and shake hands with one
of the grandest of statesmen noblest of men,
and purest of patriots. To this Mr. Davis most
feelngy responded in heartfelt thanks for the
courtesy and i'll his usual felicitous STYLE urging
on all to be good and true citizens of our com
mon country; to cherish sentiments worthy Of
citizens Of a republican government and genu-
inc republican institutions; to to it that those
principles that are founded in justice be ever OBJ
served, and that the truth be preserved in his
tory. After this, music vocal and instrumental
by Mrs Jester and Mrs. Kouns was rendered
with selections agreeable to Mrs Davis, that
most elegant conyersationalist The day, the
excursion, and the visit, the excursionists I'm
say, are things long to be remembered
Dir. Davis's earnest desire that the truth as he n
exempfes it should be preserved in the school
histories is perhaps the most entertaining part
of this interesting interview.

Teheran Letter in London News.
Teheran, the capital of Persia, is a place of
antiquity. 1t was Aga Mahammed Khan the
founder of the present dynasty, who first
adopted it, about q century ago. A mud wall
surrounds the city, but it would be a mistake to
say chat the place is fortified, in the modern
sense of that word. The wall is distinctly pre-
Tauban in its tracing AS police boundary,
something of that sort, it may serve some pur-
pose; but as q defense to the city, If it were at
tackled by modern army, it would be useless
The supply of water is brought into the town
by what the Rersans call kanauts. This is
the the kareez of Afghanstan. These
are tunnels simply cut through the soil, IN parts
at some depth, and by this means water is
found. where all is dry above, and brought for
large distances to irrigate fields. Holes have to
be made at regular distances to bring mp the
earth in excavating these kanauts, and their
direction can be traced across the country from
the mound round each hole. This mode of irri-
gaticn exists all the way from this place to the
Khyber. The making of these tunnels is reg
ular trade, and there wise men who have a
reputation for being able to find the underground
source from which the supply of water is OBJ
tanned. Some large extents of ground in Persia
would be desert were it not for these kanauts.
The supply of water brought into Teheran by
them is large, and the quality is said to be good
The bazaars are arched over with sun-dred
hereabout. The object of this is to keep out
the SUM- This makes them dark, but it is
highly picturesque In some places they are
painted with figures and ornaments and at one
place, where two lines Of bazaars cross, the seat
of the Kadi was pointed out, with cell below for
prisoners. Here cases are tried before the pub
lie, and punishment is infiicted-a very Eastern
and primitive mode of administering justice.
At one part of the bazaar noticed nothing but
shoemakers. Passing them we found nothing
but hats being made; a little distance further
it was taiiors, then brassworkers. This grouping
of each trade has many advantages, and it is not
so many years since it was common in some
towns at home. Kabob shops, or eating houses,
and tea houses TO be found scattered about
the bazaar In some of the tea houses men
were sitting smoking kalians while story -tellers
were amusing them. The Constantlnople bazaar
has long ceased to be Oriental Any one wish
ing to see place of this kind in still purely
Eastern condition might come to Teheran. We
visited the old Residency in the center of the
town, where Sir Henry Rawlinson and other
early British representatives lived. 1t is at
present undergoing complete repair. The new
Legation is on the outskirts, the gate of the
road leading to Gulahek. 1t is perhaps the best
building in Teheran.

One of Bacon's Descendants Breaks Up q
Meeting of Spiritualists.
Washington Special.
Washington is city divided against itself on
the question of Mr.. Bacon's authorship of Mr.
Shakspeares plays This literary schism was
produced by Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly's very con-
vincing display of proofs of cipher inserted in
the plays. Last night there was well-attended
meeting of the spiritualists in one OF the public
hals At the conclusion of the lecture the
medium said she was ready for tests of her
ciairvoyant powers. After awhile some wag
asked the question: WHO wrote Shakspearei'
The medium was staggered a little by this, but
answered: 1T is the thought of my. fellow
spirits that Shakespeare held the pen thai wrote
the plays, but he was inspired by diviner spirits
than himself"
This very satisfactory answer would have suf-
feed for any ordinary person, but there hap
pened to be in the audience Mr.. Bacon, who
can trace his ancestry back to Lord Francis him
self. When he heard the answer from the spirit
world his family pride became too strong FOR his
spirituality. He exclaimed: Have you seen
Shakespeare over theref
NO. said the spirit
'sThen," retorted Lord Bacon's descendant
"what in - have you got to say about this
matter, anyway
The meeting broke up in confusion
Mr.. Donnelly received letter to-day from Mr..
Gladstone, who has time to turn his mind u
moment from Afghan and the Nile TO say that he
had read the newspaper reports of the Bacon
cipher with great interest aud pleasure.

How the Cash of the Government Is Bein;

Counted in the New Treasury.
Washington Post.
curious scene was enacted yesterday in one
of the snbterranean vaults of the Treasury De-
partment reminding of smugglers or pirates
in their caves, or miserS counting their boarded
gains. The feeble glimmer of two three gas
jets permitted a glimpse of hundreds Of small
sacks bullying out with wealth, while beneath
one of the dim jets were three men, seated
around common pair of scales ON a low wooden
stand. From the interior of the vault negro
messengers brought out the little sacks ore by
one, each sack with the figures 81, 900 marked
upon it in large black letters. AS it was laid
upon the scales, one of the gentlemen made a
mark upon its tag, another looked intently at its
weight and the third kept tally. Then the bag
was borne away into the darkness of the vault
again.
The money of the Government was being
counted, as ia usual upon the change Of treasur-
ers and the work had commenced in "the silver
vault, under the supervision of the committee
recently appointed In the vault are stored
away nearly nine million standard silver dollars
and about $3.50, 600 In fractional silver. The dol
lars are kept in sacks holding just thousand,
and AS each sack weighs fifty nine pounds and
quarter, and is in size nearly foot square.
easily imagine that it would be difficult
matter for thieves to carry off many thousands,
even could they penetrate the vault On com
mencing the count, the committee opened several
of these bags, and selecting that one which con-
tanned the most abraded and worn coins, counted
them, ana tnen We1gned the WnOle Dag.
Fifty nine pounds and one ounce" said the
man at the scales.
Then we shall conduct the count on that
basis" answered another member of the commit
tee. If the bags weighed trfie moro it was
known that the $1,000 was intact but if they
weighed less they were opened and counted, the
silver climbing with a musical sound In weigh
ing the fractional silver the same system will be
pursued, that being also in bags OF $1,000 AS
it will be impossible to weigh more than mil
lion dollars day in this manner. the committee
are looking forward to about fortnght,s work
in the silver vault; but, one of them remarked,
lit is not nearly as interesting as it would be il
