Cholera Morbus.

Cholera morbus seems to be going
the rounds in and around Winnie
mucca. We surmise that drinking
too much ice water causes the com
plant, and we would advise the per-
sons who do this to be very careful
how they use their ice. This hot
weather Of course makes US wish foi
the most cooling drinks, but why not
distill the drinking water (for as q
general thing its pretty dirty, plac-
ing it in bottles, around which ice
can be placed, thus insuring not only
a refreshing lrink, but a healthful one.

Queer Proposal.

A granddaughter Of Delacroix re-

of marriage from the famous Champ

have heard, that an unmarried per-
son is like half of a pair of scissors,
which is useless without the other
half, offer you my sympathies, my
love and my best efforts to cut

The young girls answer was the
gift of pair of scissors, followed by
a marriage three weeks later.

The Death of Cleopatra.

The story that Cleopatra killed her.
self by allowing an asp to bite her
has long been believed, but probably
has no better historical basis than
the fanciful Imagination OF a gossipy
Roman historian. For some time be-
fore her death she made careful prepa-
rations for that event and tried many
different kinds OF poisons on her un-
fortunate slaves to see which would
produce death with the least appar-
ent agony. She probably died by one
of these poisons, for she was as adept
in such matters as any OF the Borgias.
No asp was found in her room, and
the wound on her breast supposed to
have been that of its bite probably
had another origin, for her whole
body was covered with bruises, where
she, in Egyptian fashion, had struck
herself with her fists and torn hel
flesh with her nails in her grief fol

where he attended the silver conven-
ton, has already prepared bill "to

An EXAMINER" Suggestion.

Among the numerous letters on
the silver question published by the
Erqmiaer was one from a correspond
ent IN Nevada asking whether it
would be constitutional for the states
to issue trade commodities" Of sill
yer and use them as money. The
constitution does not allow the states
either to coin money or to make any
thing but gold or silver coin legal
tender for the payment of debts, but
there is much simpler way of
reaching the same end. Foreign sill
yer coins used to be legal tender in
this country ard It would be perfectly
constitutional to make them so AGAR.
The Nevada legislature, if it choose,
can give the legal tender quality to
Mexican dollars, and as Mexico al
lows free coinage the Nevada mine
owners can send their silver to the
Mexican minis have it coined, bring
it back home and use it as money to
an unlimited extent. Colorado,
Montana and any number OF other
states can do the same thing.

GRATEFUL CoLoNISTs.
How They Repaid Sir Robert walpoie's
Kindness.

Before the war of the revolution
England populated some OF her
American colonies with convicts and
paupers. A resident Of Detroit finds
in the tattered pages OF an old book
published one hundred years ago, the
following reference to the objection
able practice:
When Sir Robert Walpole was
prime minister Of England he sent a
shipload of convicts to be distributed
between Pennsylvania and Virginia,
and notified DR.. Franklin, who was
the representative or commissioner
to look after the American interests.
The doctor, in response, wrote him
expressing the thanks of the colonies
for the maternal care OF Great
Britain for her colonies SO strongly
manifested, and that, as an express
sion OF American gratitude, he had
the honor to inform him that he had
this day sent him by the return ship
a collection of rattlesnakes, and
would respectfully suggest that he
have them introduced into his
majesty's garden at Kew, in order
that they might propagate and in
crease, at the same time assuring his
excellency that they would be as
beneficial to his majesty's English
dominions as British convicts were to
his American possessions.

WORLDWIDE CONSPIRACY

The plot to demonetize silver is
worldwide. When the news came
that the aristocratic English coun-
ell. who rule India, had demonetized
silver in that country, our public
press gravely informed the people
that 1.-The action of the Indian gov
eminent was not altogether q sur
prise to the treasury officials" This
is like saving that the news of train
robbery did not altogether surprise
one Of the participants in the rob-
berry when it was told to him. As a
matter of course the treasury officials
were not altogether surprised by
the receipt of the news that a certain
act, the consummation OF which was
foreordained perhaps by their advice,
had been accomplished. The admin
istration at Washington is hand and
glove with the aristocratic despoilers
of the people the world over. Vi on
what other hypothesis can be ex-
planned the royal courtesies lately ex-
changed between Mr.. Cleveland and
the car of Russia under which Mr..
Cleveland proposes that this govern
ment shall deliver to the tender
mercies of the car any Russian ex-
lie he may want who has sought ref
uge here, provided only evidence is
furnished that said exile had at
tempted. or was concerned to a plot
against the despot's life? The Span
ish princess and her retinue of worse
than useless lordlings entertained by
the administrator at per diem
cost running into the hundreds Of
dollars to be paid out OF the earnings
of American labor; the "powers that
be" at Washington discarding the
plebian title of minister" for the
more lordly title OF ambassador
for the sole reason that the latter is
the more aristocratic and carries
greater weight with it among the
royal lechers of Europe; these acts
and many others indicate plainly
enough the more than fraternal feel
ing existing between our rulers and
the rulers of the old world. Does
anyone believe for moment that our
treasury officials" were unadvised
as to the intended action of their ar
istocratic congeners concerning India
silver? III so let him disabuse his
mind of that idea. The interest of
wealth getters are the same the
world over and the titled aristocrats
of Europe and the treasury Off
Gals" of this country who never Gre
ated a dollars worth of wealth in
their lives, are bound together by the
indissoluble tie which unites all
spectators of labor. Certainly the
Washington authorities were not al
together taken unawares by the news
that silver was demonetized in India
but it is quite within the bonds OF
the possible that these same author
tiles will be somewhat surprised by
! the news which they will receive
from the next election.-Coming Cri-

Big Guns In China.

The Pekin Gazette contains a curious
memorial from the viceroy of Canton re-
specting 100 7a-centimeter guns manu-
factured by Krupp on the order of Chang
Chihtung, the late viceroy of the prov
ince. The yiceroy says the guns are
excellent in every respect, but they do
not suit the Notifications for which they
were intended. The damp climate of
the province and the white ants, (which
eat anything and everything" " would
destroy them; the district is so hilly that
they could not be moved, the coast is
composed of wet sand, in which the
wheels would get fixed Immediately; the
guns are too long for the embankment
on which they were to be placed and
could not be turned around; there are no
horses in the province to drag them, and
if there were there is no forage for them;
finally, the horses in the adjacent prov
inces are SO small that if they were inn
ported they could not drag such heavy
guns. The obstacles being so numerous
and insurmountable, the memorialist
asks that he may be allowed to transfer
the guns to his brother, Lii Hung Chang,
for use in the north, payment to be made
for them when he can. Should he re-
ceive any money from his brother on
this account, the memorialist promises
to report the fact. The emperor author

they left there, and for SIX years no
news had been received of them. They
were given up for lost, and more than
one of the forsaken wives was thinking
of giving successor to the absent one,
when on Jan. 10, 1I01, at dusk, the ar
rival was announced of a troop of mem
of-arms at the Treurenberg gate. Great
was the joy in many houses. and the
long waited for husbands were well
coined with the best of suppers, to
which they did such ample honor that
