THE Leedom Lancet, the highest En-
glish periodical medical authority, fears
that cholera will follow in the wake of
the Russian influenza. Certain it is that
cholera is prevalent along the eastern
border of Russia, and in Eastern Russia
the influenza first made its appearance.
Most of the plaques that have visited
mankind have had their chief origin
near where influenza started and where
cholera is prevailing and have spread
over Russia and the countries of Eastern
Europe first and the countries of the
Western last, and from them occasionally
to the new world. The speed and com,
pleteness with which the influenza trav-
eled over Europe and is spreading over
America emphasizes the danger the civ
ilized world is in from the oriental plague
center. Steam travel of land and sea
knits it very closely, and what one part
gets in the way of contagious disease is
almost certain to be passed on to all
unless the most rigid health regulations
are put in force. If the cholera should
take hold in Russia there would be great
difficulty in keeping it from visiting the
rest of Europe and the Americas. 1t is
to be hoped that the civilized countries
near the Asiatic plague center will give
it particular attention for some time to
come.

AT local election in Jackson, Miss,
last week, everything passed off quietly
because "no Negroes voted" From
fifteen to twenty Negroes presented
themselves, but on being told that there
would be trouble if they insisted on vot-
ing, they quietly withdrew. The whole
Democratic ticket was elected. The
peaceable withdrawal of the Negroes
from the polls is another proof of their
desire to prevent disorder, and to keep
on good terms with their white neighbors.
The fact that they are compelled to re-
frain from the exercise of their constitu-
tional rights in order to preserve peace,
is proof of great weakness somewhere in
our government.

A REVISED VERSION.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow; it strayed away ese
summer day where lambs should never
go. Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never found
the lamb because she did not advertise.
And Mary had brother John, who kept
village store; he sat down and smoked
his pipe and watched the open door.
And as the people passed along and did
not stop to buy, John still sat down and
smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy
eve. And so the Sheriff closed him out,
but still he fingered near, and Mary
came to drop with hima sympathetic tear.
"How is it, sister, can you tell why-the
other merchants here, sell all their goods
and thrive from year to year?' Remem-
bering now her own bad luck the little
maid replied: These other fellows get
there, John, because they advertised =

WHY DECEMBER WAS WARM.

The clerk of the weather, otherwise
known as General Greeley, Chief Of the
Signal Service Bureau, refutes the idea
that the unprecedentedly high average
temperature of December was due to
the gulf stream moving inshOre and
hugging our Atlantic Coast He says
the continued warm weather was due
to the fact that all the great storms of
the month moved from west to east in
high latitudes, north of the lower lakes,
which caused south to southwest winds
to blow steadily across the continent
in the direction of Canada.
Gen. Greeley's forthcoming report
will show what no one will be disposed
to doubt, that December, 1889, was
warmer than any December of which
there is any reliable meteorological
record. The average temperature for
the whole month was II degs. higher in
New York, II in Washington, 10 in At
lanta, Cincinnati and Chicago, 19 in ST.
Louis, and II in Cleveland than the
mean average temperature of the past
ten years.
Gen. Greeley is of the opinion that
averages of temperature maintain them
selves with great regularity the year
round, and one year with another. We
had a cool summer, and in the ordinary
course of events a milder winter than
usual was to have been expected

WRITER saws: "The society

A WRITER says: "The society of
America devotes too much attention to
dancing. In England, over Europe gen.
orally, society is the mingling of the best
elements of the people. Learning, talent,
wit, music, art, and literature are repre-
sented in all gatherings of a social
nature. Young women study, as neces-
sary graces of their position, to acquire
fuency and ease in conversation, to know
something of liberal sciences, knowl-
edge of books,and pictures and statues.
They really desire to make the elite su-
perior in culture and worth. Here, what
is society? A collection of vapid young
men and silly misses, whose sole occupa-
tion, mental, moral, and spiritual, is to
train their heels to the highest degree
of nimbleness."

A Horrihed Indian.

A correspondent of the Helena
(Montana) Independent gives an anus
ing account of an Indians first expe-
rience at a theatre. The red man was
under arrest for some misdemcanor,
and the officers brought him to FROM
tier town, arriving there about dark.
There being no place to confine the
prisoner they had to stay with him,
and were forced to take him when they
went to tho theatre, an hour after
reaching town. The correspondent
proceeds
ave went up to the hall and got
seats in the gallery, the Indian being
seated between Bill and me. forget
what the play was, but it was one of
the old-fashioned kind, where the COM
pany was killed of wholesale. The In
dian kept quiet until the killing began.
When the actors began firing pistols
and showing knives, he got nervous,
and finally, when the people on the
stage began falling thick and fast, he
could stand the show no longer. Sud-
denly he made jump from the scat,
and before Bill and could stop him,

form. lie got down to the ground,
stole horse and went home again to
