PROFESSOR VIRCHow'S INVESTIGATIONS.
BERLIN, Sept. S.-ProfeSsor Virchow
as the result of his investigations of the
cholera in Russia, declares the measures
for treatment of cholera patients there
and preventing the spread OF the disease
are eXcellent-better in this respect than
in Germany. The professor does not
think the infection of Germany from the
western part of Russia probable. He
further says that owing to the inadequate
knowledge of the bacillus it is impossi-
bic to tell whether the cholera will reach
here this spring. He holds that the dis
ease germ is not killed by cold.
NO CHOLERA AT LONDON.
LONDON, Sept. S.-The ''Slum Sisters"

and then, woman-like, she proceeded to
commiserate with ''Mr. Sullivan"
There was joy all through the Coleman

celved at the hotel from Manager Brady,

Poor john is the most frequent eX-
preston in regard to the eX-champion.
While he had made many enemies by his
OVerbearlng acts when in his cups, still
Sullivan was looked upon as one man to
protect the pugilistic championship of
the world and keep it on our side OF the
water. Doubts are freely expressed as to
Corbetts ability to retain the honor as
long as the man he has just defeated.
Said an old spogt, and he voices the ma
jority Of opinion: "Well, it's Corbett.
He's a good man, but there never was
but one Sullivan, and there never will
be. Poor John.'

A Remarkable Astronomical Feat.

and vet, after fifty years have rolled
around, they may both die at the same
instant, and still one may be more than
100 days older than the other. think
hear some one say impossible" and
show could such q state of affairs be
brought about?' but it not impossible; it
is aimply curious astronomical and geo
graphical fact, very easily proven. Acalm
reflection shows that this oddly turns
on very obvious problem in circumnav-
igation. Suppose. now, that two persons
were born at the same instant in Phila
delphia, from whence trip around the
world may easily be made in one year; if
one of those persons constantly go to the
west, in City years he will be fifty days
behind the stationary Inhabitants; if the
other sails equally as fast toward the east
he will be fifty days ahead of them.
One, therefore. will have seen 1CO days
more than the other, though they were
born at the same instant, lived contin-
ually in the same latitude, and died TO-
gether.

The Mice and the Moon.

A curious legend was told to some
people way out in Omaha by full-blood-
ed Sioux who lives at Pine Ridge agency.
He said the belief was that every
time new moon appeared it was sig
nal for all the mice in the country to
gather themselves together in one spot.
When assembled they then separated into
four great armies. One army went to the
NORTH another to the south, third to the
east, and fourth to the west. These
armies of mice travelled until they reached
the point where, from the place of start
ing, the heavens seemed to touch the
earth.
Then they climbed up the sky until
they came to the moon, which by this
time was what we call full. All of the
four armies commenced nibbiing at Luna,
and when they had eaten her up all
the mice would scamper back down the
heavens to the earth and wait for her to
show herself again, when the journey and
the nibbling would be repeated by the
mice; and this is what the Indians of
early days believed was the cause of the
moon growing old and finally disappear
