Not so high as Petite Anse, it is still conspicuous with its crown of dark forest. From a high point on Petite Anse, through a lonely vista o! trees, with flowering cacti in the foreground, Jeffersons house is a white spot in the landscape. We reached it By a circuitous drive of 12 miles over the prairie, sometimes in and some- times out of water, and continually diverted from our course by fences. It is a good sign of the thrift of the race, and of its independence, that the colored people have taken up or bought little tracts of 30 or 40 acres, put up cabins, and new fences round their domains regardiess of the traveling public.

Asiatic cholera is an epidemic disease of great virulence. It has been known from a very remote period, and has visited at one ti ne or another almost every country on the globe. The first account published in detai was in the first part of the sixteenth century. The disease seems to have prevailed first in India, and the various epidemics in othes countries can be traced as having been brought from that country. The invasion of India by the Portuguese and afterward by the English during the sixteenth cen tury served to introduce tiie disease into Europe. It was again brought into Europe during the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth century by the English invasion of B- .ia. In lS32it again prevailed in Europe, and 120,000 peopi died from it during that year. It first appeared in America during that year (1832) and was brought here by s French emigrant ship, which disembarked along the St. Lawrence river and spread the disease to the various towns along the river and the great lakes as far as Fort Dearborn, near where Chicago now i'j. From thence it spread as far as the Mississippi. In the same year ano! her ship brought it to New York, an from thence it spread south wa d along the coast to the gulf, and west ward into the interior, along tin; com so oithegreat highways of travel. It first appeared in Pitt burgh in 183;!. It next appeared in 18 15, and again in 1853. In 1835 it occurred but ha 1 a limited extent, and its again, la.-- t appearance was in 1373, at which time it iii not prevail to any extent. All the rases that have ever prevailed can lie traced to cases of cholera, proving that it does not arise spontaneously, but is always cases. This is caused by almost absolutely proved, and teaches a lesson with regai d to prevention of the disease. What the specific contagious material is that causes cholera is a subject yet of much investigation and dispute. The investigations of Koch, of recent years, would seem to asthe point toward a cause, an organism called the comma bacillus. Yet this is not absolutely proved, and in fact there are some grave objections to the theory. This organism is found in great numbers in the intestinal canal of cholera patients, and it is not found in patients suffering from any otherdisease. Yet these germs, when dried, die in a very 1 -- 1 pre-existi- g micro-organis- short time. Now it has been proved that the contagion ol cholera has been carried long nisi ances and for spates of time in dry clothing and otiier manners. Koch's theory, consequently, is not universally accepted. Sonin think the disease is dm to a chemical comwhich is unstable.

From the Washington Post. The world is growing smaller every day! Three gentlemen were standing together in the East Room of the White House at the last State reception. Richly dressed and beautiful women were thronging into that magnificent parlor from the Green Room, having been through as the expression is for a presentation to the President in the Blue Room. The social mill was in furibus operation that evening, and an enormous grist was being ground out. facinating Suddenly a medium-sized- , lady from New York, in an elegant and becoming costume, emerged from the hopper. She was the wife of a high railway official in that city. The three gentlemen glanced at her. No one of the three knew that either of the others had ever seen her before. Ah! said Browne, the last time I saw her I was pooling sand into her shoes at Long Branch. The last Indeed! said White. time I met her wa3 at the Hotel Continental in Paris, when she presented me to Clara Louise Kellogg. And that reminds me, said Greene, that the last time I saw her I was seated by her side in her carriage, . for a turn in Cendriving up Fifth-ave- tral Park. And then the three gentlemen looked at each other, and shook hands, and laughed. How small this world is. The Long One and the Short One. New Zealand limes. tants. We think that not only should the clothing be burned, but also the bodies of those who die of the disease. The safety of the community at large depends upon the thoroughness with which this is done. Isolation of the patients and prevention of the possibility of carrying the disease by a strict quarantine, both at seaport and inland should be urged. The objection to quarantine is found in its interference with commerce, but the interference, as a rule, affects only a minority of people, and the rule that lew should suffer for the benefit of the many should be applied here. Experience, the great educator, has taught that the safety of the masses depends upon the efficiency ot the quarantine. The symptoms of the disease are too well known to need repetition. During the first part of an epidemic the disease usually is more violent and the mortality greater than later on, the disease seeming to spend itself, to wear itself out. In vpry severe cases death may take place in a few hours. One peculiarity noticed about persons dying from this disease is the contraction of the muscles, which takes place a few hours after death. It is sometimes horrifying to those about the body to thus see a dead man move. A Mr. Ward reports the following: I saw the eyes of my dead patient open and move slowly in a downward This was followed, a minute or two subsequently, by the movements of the right arm, previously lying by the side, across the chest. Another case is reported of the body turning clear over by the muscular contractions on one side of the body. In many cases of cholera no treatment is of avail. In the less severe forms it is of the utmost importance for the patient to have early treatment. Dr. Austin Flint attaches great importance to this, and says that in an experience of three epidemics, during which he attended hundreds of cases, recovery was tho rule if he saw the patient early in tho disease. The deaths during an epidemic occur largely among the poor, poverty and neglect being largely the cause.
