ceived notions as to it's improperly to
conceive of IL as a light or trifling ex-
ercise. For instance, the famous Ex-
ceislOr Spectacular Is q portrayal
of the struggle between light and
and the series of enchanting scenes in
which there are houris and devils and
prisms of light and delicious strains

confusion, are as much q sermon as

that the en- tire lining is of the same

The Hat BernhaIdt Bought.

The most elegant and the newest
thing made by the exclusive millin
ers is the satin hat. Bernhardt,
whose approval Is a signet of taste,
ordered three such hats in Chicago
the other day. One of them was of
black. The brim at the back was
slashed and one edge turned up, and
the other half curled, as of reluctant.
Three rich ostrich tips and q big
three. cornered fan of velvet, both
black, were fastened at the back, and
fell over and concealed the crown.
Two satin ribbon rosettes of pale hell
otrOpe, placed one in front and one at
the back, furnished all the cblor.
Black satin strings fell down through
the slash behind.

should Clean up.

Review. We have said that the Unit
ed States is in no danger of the epidemic,
and it is not, this year. Cholera is a
germ disease. feeding upon filth, but
usually remaining torpid during cold
weather. The heated term is SO nearly
over as to obviate any great danger even
were our quarantine regulations less
stringent than they are. The danger
will arise next year from the germs car
ried through the winter in old clothes
that have not been fumigated or but
partially disinfected. In the meantime
twill do our cities no harm to profit by
this warning and by cleaning up leave
no speck of filth upon which the pesti-
lent little germ can rest the sole of his
foot and make ready for deadly work
next year.

On Geo. WIN. Curtis.

Review George William Curtis,
though an able man of pure mind and
great integrity of character, was always
more or less speculative, dreamy and
Impractical. This was strongly shown
during his youth, when he joined the
Brook farm association of ardent and
sentimental enthusiasts, an association
which speedily fell to pieces because of
too much abstruse speculation on ethics
and metaphysics, and too little hoeing
of corn and mending of fences. AS a
conscientious, and, as a writer, graceful
and engaging, and the loss of such a
man must always inspire regret, how
ever visionary he might be in some of
his ideas and projects.

Na.lynal auaran.lne o.asr.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 2.-An official cir
cular was issued today by the president
which is practically quarantine of
twenty days or longer if Unnecessary, of all
vessels at ports of The United States
from Cholera infected ports where not
in contravention of the state laws. The
issuance was delayed somewhat, owing
to desire of the department to publish
at the same time an opinion by the at
torneygeneral on the question of certain
rights of the government in the matter
which it is thought should accompany
the circular. 1t is directed to collectors
OF customs, medical officers of the marine
hospital service, foreign steamship COM
panies, and state and local boards of
health and reads as follows:
It having been officially declared that
cholera is prevailing in various portions
of Russia. Germany, France, and at GER
tain points in Great Britain, as well as
in Asia, and it having been made to APP
pear that immigrants in large numbers
are coming into the United States from
the infected districts aforesaid that
they and their personal effects are liza
ble to introduce cholera into the United
States, and that vessels carrying them
are thereby direct menace to the pub
lie health, and it having been further
shown under the laws of several states,
that quarantine detention may he inn
posed upon these vessels for sufficient
length of time to insure against the in
PRODUCTION of contagious diseases, it is
hereby ordered that no vessel from any
foreign port carrying immigrants shall
be admitted to enter at any port of the
United States until said vessel shall
have undergone quarantine detention of
twenty days (unless such detention is
forbidden by the laws of the state, or
regulations made thereunder), and of
such greater number of days as may be
fixed in each special case by the state
authorities.
