on the Graves OF Children
While strolling.last Sunday little
way outside the city limits, near the
head of Eighteenth street, | noticed
two carriages filed with colored people
entering an inclosure. saw that 1t
was cemetery and followed A stall
wart negro took from one of the car
riages a small coffin, and with the
ceremony of short prayer, it was de-
posted in the earth Six or eight
friends of the dead babe stood with
fearful eyes during the few minutes
occupied in filing the little grave;
then they ,e-entered the carriages and
drove away. Just before leaving

reaved mother, laid upon the mound

Looking among the large number of
graves of children, l observed this
practice to be very general Some
were literally covered with playthings-
There were nursing bottles, rattle box
es, tin horses and wagons, ''Noah's
ark" sets Of dishes, marbles. tops,
china cups and saucers, states, picture
books in endless number and variety.
Many of them had apparently lain
there for years, articles of a perishable
nature having been almost destroyed
by sun and storm. There were very
few children's graves which did not
have something of this kind upon
them. On many of the larger graves
were pretty vases, statuettes and other
articles suitable to more adult years.
Upon inquiry / was told that this
| custom is almost universal among the
colored people in the south The sen,
timent that prompts it readily suggests
itself, but it is not quite so easy to un
derstand another feature which I no

graves, lying or standing, partly bur

were nearly full and all contained
more or less of the medicine which

bottles is certainly singular concei
and would seem to border on super

recorded, was current in Cumberland,
England:

Holm church, on the Thursday before
Whitsuntide next, whenever that
may happen, and to return to Bothell
to dine.

IN THE TWIN CITIES.

Married. Teachers Coldly Received In st.
Paul-Minneapolis Not 50 Particular.
The school board OF South st. Paul
has passed resolution declaring that
married women will not be employed in
the schools of that place. This action
does not affect the schools of st. Paul
proper, which is a separate corporation.
The matter of excluding married won-
on from the public schools of that city
has several times been discussed by the
board of education in committee, but no
action has been taken. Several married
women are now members of the corps of
teachers and another was added at the
last meeting OF the board, though it is
stated that married female applicants for
positions are received rather coldly by
the board and are seldom appointed.
In the Minneapolis schools many mar.
ried women are teachers and no action
has been taken to exclude them.

Device of Disappointed Europeans to Re-
turn Home.
Every one is aware that Tiers is an
export trade in cattle between this
country and Europe, but very few out
side of those personally interested in
the business have just conception of
its real magnitude. Every week in the
year from three to five cattle steamers,
with from eight hundred head of live
cattle upwards, leave the port of New
York alone.
These vessels carry in addition to
their ordinary crew about fifty odd men
whose sole duty it is to attend to the
stock in transit About half of these
are regular cattle-men used to the care
of animals, and the other half are men
who for one cause or other are DESTROYS

archy-ridden countries Of Europe they
came from. So anxious are they to get
away that they willingly ship as help
ers, receiving no other reward for from
twelve to fourteen days hard work
than their grub and their passage over.
From time to time ads appear in the
daily papers calling for these men, and
as rule the applicants are away in ex-
cess of the demand.
The Offices where they are shipped
are mainly on Greenwich street. near
the Battery. Here the other day .
News reporter had an interesting con-
versation with one of the principal
agents for procuring this inexpensive
kind of help for the cattle bosses.
"You want to know" he said, what
kind of men want to work their passage
home in cattle ships. Well almost all
kinds and conditions Of men. We have
applications from young English clerks
who have found that they have brought
their goods to an over-stocked market,
and whose money is all gone; mechan-
les who have been out of work so long
that they are in the same condition, and
youngsters who have run away from re-
spectacle homes in the old country and
are returning, having squandered their
substance in riotous living, to the old
man. - 49, ~.

Cholera 10 Rapidly Spreading Thr0aglls
out Japan-N Nearly 5000 Cases and 1000
Deaths Since Juns RIA Famine Also
Threatened.
San FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. The latest
advices from Yokohama state that tho
cholera epidemic In Japan Is gaining
headway at q rapid rate despite the eff
forts Of the authorities to check It's
progress. To August 6 nearly 5000
cases were reported from the country
and cities, and the deaths will reach
nearly 1000. The center of the
epidemic is at Nagasaki, though
Yokohama, Toxic, and innumera-
BILE small towns are infected, and
cases have been discovered in Shanghai
and other Chinese ports. Tho INSULT
cient means for coping with the disease
adopted by the Government leaves very
little to obstruct its course, and what
little has been done is. confined to the
large cities. The villages and the coun-
try, therefore, are at the mercy of the
scourge and thousands of natives will
pay the penalty.
The cholera began about noon on the
9th Of June at two distinct and isolated
places, Inasa and Juzenji-go., The case
at 1nasa was fairly rapid and proved
fatal, likewise the two which occurred
at Juzenii-go. From the 9th Of June
until the I'd of July the attack appeared
nearly stationary in amount and
confined to Napasaki and the imme-
date neighborhood. Up to August 6.
however, there were 1854 cases in
Nagasaki and $50 deaths, and the dis
ease was still spreading. From the coun-
try 2.S93 cases were reported and 1920
deaths. These figures do not include
the scores Of cases in villages
which have no communication with
Yokohama nor those in the ports of the
mainland, so there have probably been
in the neighborhood of 5000 cases. The
disease is remarkable for the swiftness
with which it's victims are carried of,
and in many instances but few hours
elapse between the breaking out of the
plague and death.
c0mpe tent medical man from Toxic to
examine into the cause and report to
them thereon. 1t has been alleged that
it is due to the i'm portation of rice from
Saigon, yet all or nearly all the cargoes
Of Saigon rice have gone up to the more
northern ports. The scarcity of food is
also believed to be a cause of the out
break. The poverty-stricken natives
are compelled to bay at cheapest
prices, and they often get fish de-
caying in its own juice, the worst form
of putrefaction, and vegetables half
rotten. They buy enough of this cheap
food to last them some two or three
days, and to save the expense of char
coal, as we'll as to preserve the stuff,
they cook the whole lot at once. The
rice famine and the cholera epidemic
have left Japan in a deplorable condi-
ton, and there is little prospect of ir'
mediate relief.
