OF CHOLERA.

Cholera, says a San Francisco paper can
be kept out Of a country with reasonable
certainty. Assuredly 1t can. If the
most vigorous regulations are applied
and unsparingly enforced, cholera can be
kept at arms length. Spain proved this
to be true. England came very near to
doing it-her failure was in the relaxation
OF vigilance by a single official.
| But then, because cholera can be
''stood OFF, is no reason why we should
neglect to take local precautions to fight
1t at home, for the reason that the
| chances are about as seven is to five that
despite quarantine the pest wifi come
in. However if it is stopped at five ports
out of seven there is distinct gain worth
all 1t costs, since its spread will be less
rapid and local sanitation will be better
able to battle with it than if it had free
entry at all ports. So that however
looked at national quarantine ought to
prevail and it will, though it is aImatter of
profound regret that through the efforts
of Tammany and brother-in-law Jenkin
the bill has been so crippled that the new
law will not be what the Boards of Health.
commercial bodies and sanitarians and
the medical boards have advised.
Another thing in this connection is
worthy of serious action-the bodies of
victims of the cholera should be cremaIed,
not buried. 1t is the only absolute pre-
ventive of the contamination of soil and
water and air by the cholera germ. Sir
Spencer Wells, one of the most distin-
guished of the surgeons of the age, and of
high rank among sanitarians, declares in
the February Forum that it is vain to
hope for the abolition of cholera if its
bacilli are still to be preserved by bury
ing in the earth the bodies of the victims.
The dead bodies OF cholera patients are
not merely dead organic matter. All
dead bodies, whatever may have been the
cause of death, contain myriads of living
organisms assist in the process of decom-
position, form poisonous products, and
may excite disease if brought by air or
water into contact with living beings.
And this distinguished authority adds:
What is much more important is the fact
that in proportion of little less than 20 per
cent the bouies buried in the usual way in
the earth contain, in addition to the ordinary
agents of decomposition and putrefaction, the
germs ofzymotic diseases, the seeds of scarlet
fever, yellow fever, smallpox. typhoid, choi- |
era-the germs of peStilence almost imperish-
able in the earth, ready after many years of
latency to revivify and recommence their in
fective activity. ANY mode of burying the
dead in the earth, with or without coffin,
exposes the living to unnecessary danger

MARION CRAWFORD the distinguished
novelist, expresses in recent paper his
contempt for the realistic school of fiction.
He thinks that more good can be done by
showing men what they may be, ought to
be, or can be, than by describing their
greatest weaknesses with the greatest
art. "We all know how bad we are, but
it needs much encouragement to persuade
some of us to believe that we can really
be any better" Mr.. Crawford is beyond
all doubt correct. The writers OF modern
fiction, who make their works examples
of the nobleness of possibility in right
doing, rather than make them examples
of the frailties of human nature, are the
greater benefactors.

ing Walls.

DANvILLE, March 7.-Early this
morning the National Hotel here was
burned to the ground. The hotel was
not occupied at the time, having been
vacated a few days ago The building
was a handsome structure, four stories
high, and was erected in 1872, and has
since been remodeled. 1t belonged to
Mrs. Symmetrical and was insured for
$25, 600.
Under the hotel we're two stores &C.
cupied by Jennings & Watson, produce
merchants, and A. Summerfield &
Son. The former had So, 600 insurance
and the latter IS, 600.
About 1 o'clock the walls of the build
ing collapsed, causing great excitement.
1t is known that four colored men are
injured, one of whom will die. A white
boy was also seriously injured.
John D. Fichlin, a we'll known in
urance man, was caught under the
debris and remained there an hour be-
fore he was extricated and removed,
but says he is not much hurt.

Dial issued a proclamation this morn
ing calling upon the citizens to CON
tribute funds for the relief Of the dis
tressed victims of the cyclone at
Marion, Toomsuba, Keewanee, Pa.
chuta, and Barnett.
At a mass meeting a committee was
appointed by the mayor to ascertain
the extent of the damage, where help
is most needed, and to solicit and dis
burse contributions. All of the minis
tiers in the city appealed to their con
gregations to aid the sufferers, and a
liberal sum was collected in the differ
ent churches.
1t has been impossible so far even to
approximate the financial loss occa-
stoned by the cyclone, but it will go
into the hundreds of thousands. A. J..
Keeton, one of the richest merchants
at TOomsuba, is left penniless, all of
his property having been swept away
by the storm.
A child was blown out of it's mothers
