A dispatch from Calcutta says that thus far
there have been 5000 deaths from cholera at
Serinagar. Dr. Gregg. the sanitary COM
missioner of Bengal has lately issued a re-
port upon local outbreak of cholera at Sc
rampore. few miles northwest Of Calcutta,
which shows how cholera 10 generated III
India and whence its epidemics arise d.
Gregg went himself 10 investigate carefully
the condition of the place IN which the out
break took place. lie found thnt the phNsi-
cal formation Of all portions OF the Affected
locality is similar. and the ground low ana
swampv over the whole AREA tanks have
been dug of various sizes shapes and depths.
and all contain very dirty water. Low, foul
ungle reeking with bad smells surround
these tanks the surfaces OF which are almost
completely hidden with thick decaymg water
plants. whore the inhabitants wash their COOK
ing utensils and draw water for domestic pur-
poses.
Between and around the houses are narrow
lanes b0rdered by narrow. deep, uneven
drains iu which filth collects. The sub
stances under the influence Of the hot sun
quickly decOmpose and emit foul smells. In
places Dr Gregg actually observed masses
OF undulatiug magg0ts and portions 81 de-
caying animals Wherever the people living
in the houses in the neighbOrhOOd OF these
tanks had used the water there cholera made
its appearance. aud the tanks are also the
sources from which the milkmen obtain water
for their COWS. and it is more than probable
they dilute the milk they sell with tie same
water.
Continuing his inquiries from house 70
house Dr. Gregg found that wherever the
supply Of milk WAS obtained IRON COWS VINO
drank at the dirty tanks cholera was present.
and that there was corresponding absence
OF cholera among the police constables. who
were supplied with clean water from the po-
lice tank and obtained their milk supply from

When Benjamin Harrison, repre-
senting the god and morality party,
took charge of the United States gov
erment nearly four years ago, there
was over s1oo, 600, 900 surplus in the
United States Treasury. The sur
plus is gone, and there. will not be
enough money at the close OF Mr..
Harrison's term to pay the expenses
of the government without having to
resort to the ruinous business of
borrowing. Such change in the
financial condition Of what is termed
prosperous country, speaks for
itself and places an everlasting stig-
ma upon the Republican management
of public affairs that will prevent
their ever again being put in pos
session Of the reins of government.
