Making Them Young.

There once lived in the City Of Mexico
a Frenchman known as Otavito Qittle
Octave), whose rogueries kept the town
in a ferment. At one time he claimed
to have discovered a specific for the re-
juvenescence Of women, and by means
Of sensational advertising he succeeded
in gathering a clientele Of forty or fifty
ancient danes, who were assembled, on
a certain day, in a long sala, tricked out
with astrological symbols, crucibles,
alembics and all the paraphernalia of
charlatanry. The conjurer presented
himself before the ladies and addressed
them in famboyant language, ending as
follows: and now, senoras of my soul,
it is needful that the mystic ceremonies
before us be opened by the oldest one
among you"
Then, addressing her whose appear
ance seemed to indicate priority, he
asked her age. "Thirty-seven years,
senor," simpered the beldame, who was
at least in the seventh decade. land
you, senora?" "Thirty-six." And so ON,
until he had got. them down to a de-
clared age of twenty years, with a maxi
mum of thirty-seven. "Well ladies all,
you perceive that without further pro-
ceedings the miracle is accomplished, -
said Otavito, 'fOr the least gallant of
men could not call her aught but young
whose years are but thirty-seven-and
you see for yourselves that is the age of
the oldest among you!'-San Francisco

The Modern Girl Better OF.

There is no doubt that Maude's great
grandmother would be shocked at the
''goings on Of these latter days. The
old lady would faint at the sight of her
descendants ways; but, after all, isn't
the change for the better? Certainly
the dress is better than the terrible
lacing of revolutionary days, and If
Maude does 90 ''low neck" to a ball, she
appears on the street in a stout cloth
Eown. How any woman ever lived to
be thirty in ye Olden time is a mystery.
Why, the way they tramped about IN no
sleeves and low necks and tasted them
selves then and fed supposedly on
lilies is enough to make a g~alloping con-
sumptive invalid pale with envy.
Evelena, pale and langud, read poetry
all day, except when she foated about
like a sy1ph in the rose garden. 1t is
bad to rashly judge, but ones private
opinion is that the aforesaid Evelena
had her chunk of beef in the pantry.
Why did Evelena spend all day in a
rose garden? Was she supposed to be
studying the beauties of nature, or had
the old man really sent her out to spray
the bugs off the bushes?
Another weakness of Evelena's was
her relapsing on all occasions into
floods Of emotions and tears of sweet
s%ensibility." In fact, one is tempted to
believe that she wandered about clothed
in "her regal beauty" and an old pale
green calico wrapper. But n fails to
find a reason for her emotions"
Doubtless they were kept ION tap"
and didn't lose their sparkle by frequent
turnings of the spigot- But it must
have been real uncomfortable to sit up
at night learning how to weep and faint
just at the right time.
But 'Maude irreverently thinks the
sgoings on" of her great maternal an
cestor a trifle stupid, and there is 10
doubt that she finds the healthy" fash
ion far more enjoyable than the dying
in-leafy-June" style of beauty. Then
Maude walks, rides, drives, goes boat
ing and plays tennis till the blister on
her nose murmurs of "cold cream"
Still she enjoys it, and would you change
if you could?-Washington Post.

Physicians and Their Drugs.

The active competition for d living
that the physician in New York has to
encounter has resulted in a curious
method for stimulating trade. There
are doctors in this city, graduatesin due
form and no doubt in many cases men
of ability, who remit all fees for consul
t~ation, relying on the profits they obtain
from the medicines they prescribe for
emolument. Certain standard prescrip-
tons they have put up in quantities, and
these they sell directly to the patient.
Where a prescription has to be com
pounded the patient is sent to a certain
drug store, at which the doctor has an
arrangement for his commissions.
Between these two devices the prac-
titiOner really captures a reasonable fee,
and he gets it, moreover, in cash. where
be otherwise might have to give credit,
with a strong show. of loss, for though
patients will not dream of demanding
credit for medicines, they make very
small bones about leaving the doctors
bill unpaid once he has permitted them
to run it up.-New York Cor. Pittsburg

A Truly Great Day in Charlotte-Miles
and Miles OF People.

The Charlotte News says: This has
been a great day for Charlotte. o
bly at no time in the history of the city
has such a large crowd been gathered
here. There are fully 10000 people on
Me~cklenburg soil to celebrate the 117tt
anniversary of the signing Of the Meek
lenburg Declaration Of independence.
The day was opened with the firing Of
a salute from the Hotchkiss gun OF the
Naval Battalion at daylight, and very
shortly thereafter the streets were alive
with people. The decorations were con
spicuous in all directions, and no city
ever greeted a celebration in amOret ruely
festive attire. Senator David b. Hill, OF
New York, had arrived the previous night
and with Lis party was quartered at the
Buford hotel. With Senator Hill were
Senators Ransom and Gray; Congress
man Austin Lathrop, Of New York Con,
gresham s. Il. Alexander, Of North Caro-
lima; Congressman II. II. Rockwell, OF
Elmira, New York Hon. Elias Carr, Of
North Carolina, and Judge Daniel f. Nc
Mann, Of New York.
At II o'clock, Senator Hill and party
were escorted to the Central Hotel bal
cOny, from which point Senator Hill re,
viewed the military parade. 1t was a re
markably fine one, and the splendid ap-
p~earance Of the troops was commented on

1000 troops in line. The procession
was headed by Colonel Anthony and
staff, followed by the Fourth Regiment
band. Then came the superb Fayetteville
Light Infantry, the Cabarrus Black Boys,
the Columbia Zuaves, the Southern Stars
the Greensboro company, the Concord
drum corps, the Shelby company, the
Dallas Guards, the Naval Battalion band,
the Hornets Nest Rilemen, the Queen
City Guards, the Charlotte Naval Bat
TALON Divisions Of Calling gun, IIotch-
kiss gun and torpedo corps, and the Con,
tincutals.
Senator Hill delivered the Grafton at
the auditorium this afternoon. Five
thousand people were in the building,
He was introduced by Senator Ransom,
and his name was greeted with pro
longed cheering.
The sham battle was a splendid sight
and was witnessed by thousands. The
Charlotte companies fought as one bat
taIlion under charge Of Major Cramer,
while all the visiting companies acted on
the offensive, under command of Gen
cral Gotten. The plan was for the Gen
erals men to capture the Gattling gun,
but the Hornets and Queen City Guards
skirmishers engaged and held the enemy
until the Calling had been withdrawn to
a safe distance. 1t was the finest thing
in the way of a sham battle that has ever
been seen in this state.

IT IS MOI CHOLERA.


JAMEsnURG, N. j., Aug, 12-The re-
ports that scourge of Russian cholera is
now visiting this place and Helmetta, two
miles distant, are pronounced false by
the doctors here, and they say that the
diseaseis only an acute form Of dysentery
which developes symptoms like cholera.
Nevertheless, the situation here is sen-
Gus one.
Dr. j L. Syndam, a member of the
Township Board of Health, estimates
that $50 persons in the two places are
dangerously i'll.
There are only five doctors to attend to
them, and they are not able TO make the
rounds Of the patients. Nineteen deaths
were reported during the last three
weeks.
The situation became so serious that
DR.. Snydam called consultation of the
doctors in the neighboring towns, with
DR.. Baldwin of New Brunswick, and they
agreed that active and radical measures
must at once be taken to save the lives of
the inhabitants Of Jamesburg and Hell
meta.
Several families of Russian Jews immi-
grated to elmetta within "a month. This
gave rise to the report that they had
brought the cholera with them, and the
doctors were inclined TO believe it, as the
symptoms were somewhat similar.
Loss of blood is the most prominent
symptom of the disease When it first
appeared at Helmetta the doctors came
to the conclusion that it was caused by
the water of a pond, the water of which
is used in Helmes snuff factory, but this
theory has been abandoned
There is no doubt that the disease is in
feotious, as it attacks persons in good
health and is spreading steadily
Many of the people in this district be
lieve that the visitation is that of genu-
inc cholera and not cholera morbus oi
anything else The greatest uneasinesi
prevails.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 12.-When Gov Bu-
chanan was asked to give his reasons for
the Communication of the sentence of Col.
H. Clay King, he said:
"First, l thought that King should
have had a change of venue. AfTidavits
to the effect that Juror Smith had COM
municated with outside parties and ex-
pressed an opinion about the case were
filed with me. These affidavits could not
be introduced in the Court of Record be-
cause it was too late. The action of Juror
Muslin and of the jury in going to Arkan-
sas to deliberate upon the case had their
weight too; the dissenting of one of the
Supreme Judges in the defense of partial
insanity; the pleadings Of his wife and
children and the most prominent men in
the country, besides the hundreds of let
ters and petitions-these were my reasons
for comm uting the sentence. | am re-
sponsible for my action. l thought was
doing right, and | acted according to my
belief"
The Governor showed the reporter a pc
tition for the Communication of Kings SEN
tence signed by 26 United States Senators

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 12.-The cholera
is raging in Asia Minor having been
brought there by travellers from Persia
AT Trebizond, the capital of the province
of that name, not less than 800 persons
are confined in the lazaretto, a rude en-
closure outside the walls of the town.
Many of these are suffering with
cholera, but the greater number are per-
sons who have been detained because they
have been exposed to infection. Tn ese
are restless under detention, and yester-
day they made an effort to break through
the Gordon established around the lazar-
etto, and to gain their freedom.
The Turkish troops were summoned to
prevent the escape. A large force of
military hurried to the scene, and the
mob was ordered to disperse and return
to the lazaretto.
The mob refused, whereupon the troops
were directed to fire. The soldiers sent a
volley straight into the struggling mass,
who were filing the air with cries and
shouts of defiance.
A number of persons fell, killed and
wounded.
lnls lefIlHeu une rioters. ana bne sur
vivors returned, without further demon

The populace of Trebizond are greatly
excited, and they strongly resent the steps
taken by the authorities to prevent, by
sanitary precautions, the spread of the
disease.
