Cholera In Michigan.

DR.. f. d. Larke Of Rogers City
Michigan, says the epidemic of last year
in Presque, Isle county, in which so
many persons lost their lives, was choleric
iissentry instead of cholera as first re.
ported. He used Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Dlarrhoea Remedy and says
1t succeeded, where all other remedies
failed. Not Il single case was lost in
which it was used. This remedy is the
most reliable and most successful medi-
cine known for collie, cholera morbus,

ROCK VlLLEe

Officers of the New York and New England company were in Rockville last week looking over the railroad property with view to improving the facilities at this station. The company will very soon become the owners of the Rockville branch, and will bond the road for $1OO, 900 to pay for the branch. Better facilities are demanded on account of the growth and prosperity of the city, and the company proposes to expend about 5000 in inn proving the property. It is probable that the location of the station will be slightly changed, and new building may be built.
 The New England type foundries are running over time manufacturing the let ters c, i, and y for the Rockville newspa- per offices, these papers being much cramp- ed for lack of these letters.

THE WHITE HOUSE KITCHEN IN 1868.

Both the steward and the cook had re- monstrated with ssMaster Tad" upon bringing into the kitchen of the white house, s'such squads of poor, dirty, hungry street urchins to be fed ;" and at last Pe- ter said that Mrs. Lincoln must be told.
 Tad flew into rage, ran upstairs to see his mother himself, and on finding her out searched the place for his busy father.
 Meanwhile the small objects of his char ity waited at the lower door-for Peter had absolutely refused to let them ''step inside"
 The indignant boy spied his father just crossing the yard, with head bowed, eyes to the ground, talking earnestly to Mir. Seward as they walked to the department of state together. He cried out to him at once: Father! father can't I. bring those poor, cold, hungry boys home with me whenever want to ? Isn't 1t cur kitch- n?"
 By this time Tad had his father by the hand, who stopped short to listen to the frantic appeal.
 ''Can't give them good warm dinner to-day, say? They're just as hungry as bears, and two of lem are the boys of a soldier, too Land, father, I'm going to discharge Peter this minute, if he don't get out the meat and chicken and pies and all the things we had left yesterday. Say, mayn't I? Isn't it our kitchen, father ?"
 Secretary Seward was shaking with laughter. Mir. Lincoln turned to him with 8 twinkle: Seward. advise with me. This case requires diplomacy"
 MT. Seward patted Ted on the back and said he must be careful not to run the gov in debt, and the president took Tad's little brown hands in his own big one, and with very droll smile bid hlm to "run along home, and feed the boys" and added, ssTell Peter that you are really re- quired to obey the Bible by getting in the maimed and the blind, and that he must be a better Christian than he is l"
 In less than an hour MT. Seward said they passed through the yard on their way to the cabinet meeting, and no less than ten small boys were sitting with Tad on the lower steps, cracking nuts and having 3 'sstate dinner"
 MT. Lincoln remarked that the ''kitchen .0as osars.'-M. g., a'a Mag Wide As0oke.
