RIVERS SOURCE OF THE SPREAD OF
CHoLERA.-The Lancet has made up its
mind that rivers have much to do with the
spread of cholera. Paper-makers will be
interested to know that the severity of the
last cholera epidemic at Granada has been
traced to water contamination, due to q
paper-mill. The rags used at this mill
Were washed in the stream from which
Granada city draws lis wafer supply.
The rags thus washed came from Valencia
and other cholera centers. No cholera
cases had occurred in Granada up TO the
tinfe when these rags were imported
Afterward the cholera spread over the pre-
vince, following in every case the course of
the infected stream. Only one town thus
Situated escaped infection, and this one be-
cause its 12,0o0 people drank no river

FEAsTTNG on ROASTED WHITE MEY.-The

roasting of two white men by the natives,
VINO afterwards feasted on the remains.
The information of the shocking affair has
just been received from Brisbane, where.
it appears, some fears were entertained of
the safety of the cutter Alice GREY. The
Alice Grey left Brisbane for Macarthur
river, in the northern territory. She was
seen between Kimberly and Swear Island.
after which nothing had been heard of her.
Whilst making inquiries as to the fate of
the vessel the master of the schooner Pei
ton learned that the natives of the territory
between the Macarthur and Robinson rivers
had murdered two white men, After kill
ing the two men the natives were reported
to have roasted the bodies and then feasted
on them. 1t was supposed that the unfor-
tunate men belonged to the crew of the
Alice Grey, but before the report had
reached Brisbane dispatch was received
from the Government agent at Normington
reporting the arrival of the Alice GREY.
The two men were then thought to belong
to another trading vessel Glasgow Her

knights of Labor-Convention Called.

ST. LOUIS, May 9th.-A Baltimore md. J
special says: General Master Workman
Powderly of the Knights of Labor, acting
under the authority vested in him by the
General Executive Board, has issued to the
various Assemblies an order for a special
session of the General Assembly, to be held
in Cleveland. Ohio, Tuesday, May 25th.
The causes leading to the calling of the ses-
sion a,e given as follows: First, the
rapidly increasing membership of the order
requires changes in the laws, which the
General Executive Board have no authority
to make Second, the laws in relation to
the government of boycotting are wholly
inadequate to compel obedience on the
part Of the Assemblies that believe in boy
cotting for every offense, whether great or
small. Third, the laws in relation to
strikes do not give the General Executive
Board the power to interfere in such mat
tiers until after the strike has been inaugu-
rated.
The Order has become involved in diff
culties with trade societies, and an effort is
being made to create a rupture between
these societies and the Knights OF Labor.
