MARCH OF THE GRAND ARMY.

The North is invading the South by progressive steps.
 The Grand Army is now in occupancy of Louisville and the Falls City is gigantic military camp. The resources Of Southern hospitality will be subjected to a severe test. but Louisville is and will be equal to all demands As the men Tn blue look around them, they will see magnificent city, peopled by energetlc and big hearted men, the evidences or whose business enterprise and aeumen are to be seen on every hand. The Grand Army will leave Louisville with nothing but pleasant memories and with height ened respect for the Southerner as a business man and host.
 Then comes Chattanooga, the central point of a region whose every foot has gone into history. The veterans who were in the thick of the memorable con ficts thereabouts will recall the strag- gling village of the COS, and contrasting it with the trim well built hustling city of today, cannot fail to marvel ut the wondrous changes wrought by time. Its progressive people, it's diversified indus tries. and it's enumerable evidences of
 
 lasting impression upon the old soldiers.
 At tlanta the New South and the Old will greet them. The eternal hills Will awaken memories of hard fought battles, but the magnificent city, which has had the pluck to emulate, if not out-do the great Columbian Exposition, will arouse their enthusiasm and admiration. In the heart of the South they will see com munty of business men as aggressive as any to be found in the East or North, and with evidences of culture and refinement which challenge comparison with those of any city in this broad land.
 At each of these cities they will be made to realize that they are at home that now they are hailed as brothers if once greeted as foemen. The march of the Grand Army into the South in the autumn of 1895. means great things for this section and this nation. None but prophet can foretcll the results.

Cholera in the East.

New York World.
 Cholera is-quite prevalent and very fa- tai in Japan and China, and the precau- tions taken against 1t in our Pacific ports are timely and wise.
 It may be supposed that the excessive mortality of the disease with the Japan csc and Chinese is due rather to the un- sanitary conditions of life in those coun- tries and the practical absence of treat ment rather than the special yirulence of the disease. Our ASiatic neighborS in Japan have appreciated and applied the knowledge derived from civilized coun- tries in regard to the art of war. They will, it may be hoped, not be slow to per ceive that this is only one of the many things we can teach them to their own great advantage
 Sanitary science is as yet not appre- ciated to it's full measure in our own city. It is even less appreciated in London, and Paris is far behind both our city and London in the utilization of the possibil- ities of this science in the battle against endemic and epidemic diseases. We cannot, therefore, expect that Japan will realize that a fuller knowledge of the sci ence of the outside world might teach her how to eradicate a scourge of which she is one of the hot beds. But Japan IS ant to learn, and when she learns she will be great help in the endeavor to stamp out the pestilences that start ifl AGia
