ON THE subject Of "Epidemics Of the
disease which has broke out in Odessa
Southern Russia, with such fatal effect
ia pronounced to be the Siberian plague,
an epidemic feared extremely by the
Russians and OrleHtials. Its origin is
accounted for by the prevalence Of a pro-
tracted and uncommon heat. The
fruits Of the earth are perishlng from
the drought, and the poor people are
crushed between fears of famine on the
one hand and the devastation of the
plague on the other. While there has
been no sensible connection between
the epidemic on the Black sea shores
and that Of the Mediterranean coasts, il
would appear that they obey a common
law and that the atmosphere of the
present year, In plain words, Is charged
with the potential elements Of the
cholera Already nearly $1,000 persons
have died from the epidemic in Spain.
Its temperance in the populous City of
Marseilles under very unfortunate sani-
tary conditions and It's spread in
other cities have filled the people with
a CONSERVATION that we Americans but
family realize-yet. But our time may
come. Cholera Ia neither respector Of
place or persons; 1t fits across an ocean
as easily and as fatally as it traverses a
continent and II behooves us to exercise
the seyerest precautions that sanitary
science can suggest to break the violence
of the stroke which it may be our fate tC
receive. The case Of the sailo. dying o
the cholera at the port of Bristol, Eng
land, has excited much apprehension
The attention of physicians have beef
attracted to this case as being one of al
most unprecedented prematureness

A NEw JERSEY weather prophet has
which he says: 1.-The present outlook
Of the weather is very encouraging for
the ice dealers, for the next ten days will
record the highest temperature for the
season Of 1855, and the month will be
noted for its sudden changes and heavy
thunder showers. There will be two
cyclones during the remainder Of the
month. But people in this vicinity need
not feel uneasy in regard to the cyclone,
for although most people have All idea
that cyclones are liable to drop down on
the people in any section Of the United
states at any season Of the year, yet
facts show that they occur with as much
regularity as the moon moves in its
orbit. They make their appearance in
the far Northwest early in the spring,
and never strike the middle Atlantic
states till August. They always occur
between two well defined belts ofstorms.
This year they reached the middle
States three weeks earlier than last year,
showing that frost will occur three
weeks earlier than last season. And the
extreme hot weather which is approach
ing is to hurry on vegetation and rlpen
the corn in advance of the frost. About
the 10th, very severe weather will oc-
cur in Northern New York and Yer
mont, with heavy thunder showers
throughout the middle State, and this
section southwest winds; and between
the 25th and 3Oth of this month cyclone
will occur near the South Carolina
coasts, causing the temperature in this
section to drop to point where over
coats feel comfortable

SENATOR CoKE and Congressman Mills
have become the target Of the prohibit
tionists on account Of their utterances
against prohibition. Notwithstanding
the attempts to deny the fact, 1t still re-
mains that there will be very big split
in the ranks Of the Democracy, on ac-
count of the prohibition issue, and when
men who claim to have voted nothing
but Democratic ticket for 20 years, say
that they will vote for prohibition 1t Is
easy to see that there will be an issue Of
considerable proportions during election
times. In the North and East prohibi-
ton Is fraoturing the II, publican party;
in the South 1t is reducing Democratic
