THE CIIOLBRA.
Suggestion. Regarding Cholera for the Cm of
the Public,
[British Medical Journal.J
The following suggestions for the use of the
public, as to the treatment of early or suspi-
cious symptoms, at seasons when cholera Is
threatened, or is epidemic, bare been Issued
by the King and Queen's College of Physi-
cians in Ireland.
The college advise no alteration in the habits
of living, where these have previously been
moderate and regular. All excess should be
carefully avoided, especially In the use of al
coholic drinks, as it is, of noted experience,
the intemperate who most certainly fall vic-
tims to the most fatal type of cholera, as of
other epidemic diseases.
All food likely to cause Indigestion or bowel
complaint should be carefully avoided, par-
ticularly fruit in a large quantity or in an
unripe, decayed, or unsound state; likewise,
flfch or meat when in the least tainted.
Water should be used for drinking purposes
only after being boiled; and, In consequence
of milk being diluted with infective water, it
likewise should be boiled before use.
a Ktrict personal cleanliness should be prac-
ticed, and the clothing should be adapted to
the season and weather.
All debilitating causes shoul 1 be carefully
avoided, such as exce sive and long-continued
fatigue and fasting, overcrowding, exposure
to moist stagnant air, or to air loaded with or-
ganic effluvia.
During the prevalence of cholera, any per-
son affected by any of the following com
?laints should at once obtain <.iedical advice:
Diarrhea, or looseness of the bowels. 2.
Vomiting or sickness of stomach 3. Pains in
the stomach or bowels. 4. Pains or cramps
in the legs. While such aid is being obtained,
the patient should be put to bed immediately,
and warmth should be encouraged by the ap-
plication of heat to the hody ana limbs. Also,
in case of sickness of stomach, a large mus-
tard poultice should be applied over the abdo-
men. In the event of cramps ensuing, diligent
rubbing of the limbs should be resorted to.
Hot brandy punch should be administered
in tmall and repeated doses, and the diet
should be restricted to rice, milk flavored with
cinnamon and brandy, or arrow-root prepared
with milk or port wine.
Should relief not be shortly obtained, and
the looseness of the bowels continue, ten grains
of aromatic chalk-powder with opium, or
twenty drops of dilute sulphuric acid, with
five drops of laudanum, should beui'lniiuistor-
ed in a tablespoonful of water, to which a lit-
tle brandy may be added. This dose, which
is intended for an adult, may be repeated
every hour for three doses.
The discharges from the bowels should be
disinfected and disposed of as quickly as pos-
sible. A wineglussful of the following disin-
fectant mixture should be poured into the ves-
sels used by the patient, namely: Common
sulphate of iron (gr> en copperas), one ounce;
carbolic acid, a quarter of an ounce; water,
twenty fluid ounces, or one imperial pint.
Infected bedding, and all articles of clothing
worn by the sick, should be destroyed by tire.
Educational.
Paris is regarded as foremost in the absolute
provision of manual training in connection
with primary schools. Over a hundred schools
in the French capital are now provided witu
workshops. At present they turn out articles
of wood from planing benches and lathes. It
is proposed soon to aad iron to the material to
be operated upon. This manual training is an
addition to the ordinary studies of a primaly
school; the boys appear to like it, and it gives
a new form of activity tc their minds and val-
uable exercise to their muscles.
It is proposed to hold, next year, in the
building of the International Fisheries exhibi-
tion, at South Kensington, an exhibition illus-
trating the relations of food, dress, the dwell-
ing, the school and the workshop with health.
The exhibition will be divided into sections of
education and health, and further into six
principal groups: 1. Food matters and their
prtparation 2. Dress, with specimens of dif-
ferent styles and materials. 3, 4 and 5. What
pertains to the healthful construction and fit-
ting of the dwelling, the school and the work-
shop; and 6. All that relates to primary,
technical and art education.
Mr. Henry Lillard, who for some months
past has been examining into the workings
of the agricultural colleges, now writes to
Home and Farm as follows: "From all lean
leurn, only two of the States have freely
carried out the object of Congress and have
made these schools a succes, and at one
time I believe it was contended that a strictly
agricultural school could not be suc-
cessfully operated. Consequently, in most of
the States the colleges have become entirely
scientific, and the boys who are educated in
them hav% taken to what is called the learned
professions, and agriculture and mechanics
have received no benefit from the grant of
lands made entirely for their benefit.
The business of education is not to perfect a
learner in all or any of the sciences, but to
give bis mind that freedom, that disposition
and those habits that may enable him to ob-
tain any part of knowledge he shall apply
himself to or stand in need of in the future
course of his life. [Locke.
A Coward Seeking a Penaion.
[Century for July.]
At a club dinner in New York recently, an
examining surgeon related the following inci-
dent showing now the arrears act developed
pensioners out of sound and undeserving men.
During the war he was surgeon of an infantry
regiment. When the regiment first weut into
battle he observed sitting behind a big tree, at
u safe distance from the fighting line, the cap-
tain of one of the companies. " What are you
doing there, captain!" asked the doctor. " t'111
not feeling well," replied the officer, in a dole-
ful voice. The surgeon was too busy looking
after the wounded to stop and inquire as to his
complaint. A few weeks later the regiment
again got under fire, and the surgeon found
the same captain skulking behind a barn.
"Hello! sick again?" he exclaimed. "Well,
the fact is, doctor, I m not exactly sick. I
may as well own up that I'm a coward.
There's no help for itl It must be constitu-
tional. Now, doctor, what's the use of my
staying in the army? Won't you help me to
get a discharge?"'The surgeon thought he
was doing the country a service when, a few
days afterward, he recommended that the man
be discha: ged on the ground of general disa-
bility. He heard nothing of the captain until
sixteen years later, when he received
a letter lrom the pension office inform-
ing him that Captain Blank had ap
plied for a pension from the date of his
muster-out, and that as he, as surgeon of the
regiment, had certified to the disability, would
he kiudly inf< rm the government as to the
rial ure of the disease from which the officer
tuffered ? The surgeon replied that the cap-
tain's complaint was chronic and incurable
cowardice, not contracted in the line of his
duty, but constitutional. The captain's name
did not go upon the roll, and his plan for get-
ting some #4(10(1 for arrears and $20 a month
for the rest of his life came to grief. How
many schemes no less dishonest have succeeded,
through the complaisance of examining sur-
geons, less honest than the narrator of this in
cident, could only lie ascertained by a thor-
ough overhauling of the whole pension list and
a re examination of the entire army of pen-
sioners.
At Crisfield, Md., recently, one man caught
ICIiO soft crabs in one day with a scrape. The
usual shipment of soft crabs from Crisfield
averages 5000 to 8000 dozen per week.

[Correspondence of the St, Louis Republican.]
To many people who visit the Southwest,
Texas is a revelation. In tho first place but
few pf ople have an idea of the immensity of
tbe area of this State, and many come to
Texits who never get south of Fort Worth,
and consequently miss the garden spot of the
Btfto and the park region of the Southwest.
From Fort Worth to San Antonio, over the
Mistouri-Facific and International and Great
Net hern, the train speeds through a region of
farm and prairie. Along this route are settle-
ments and colonies, cities and towns, all in-
dicating the productiveness of the country and
tbe thrift of its people.
Production of the great staples and of stock
under favorul le conditions has been unex-
ampled, and the promise of the present season
is uu usually brilliant.

ties; districts where cheap, and at the same
time beautiful homes can be built and a gen-

it intelligent labor is given to them. It also
possesses never-failing and never freezing wa-

fibre and wood pulp so abundant there, and
after that is done it can furnish fuel and
mineral for foundries and factories without
end.
Its immense prairies would afford an ample
pasturage for cattle and sheep enough to sup-
ply the entire North with food, and horses for
ell to ride. It is a territory 10,792 square
miles larger than England and Wales, 22,112
square miles larger than the State of New
York, over six times as large as Vermont, and
more than fifty-three times as large as the
State of Bhode Island; while at the same
time it possesses a climate far more healthy
than either of those States, 1 icher soils, more
varied productions and greater possibilities.
The inhabitants as a rule are nonest, law-
abiding immigrants from every State in tho
Uliion, arid from almost every country on the
globe. Schools and churches are found
wherever there are communities, and crime of
every character is as surely detected and as
severely punished as in the Eastern States.
ABOUND SAN MARCOS
Lies the county of Hays, of which it is the
county seat. It contains 437,120 acres, and is
from twenty to forty miles south of the capital
of tbe State.
The suifaee is diversified, being about one-
half rolling and hilly and one half prairie.
The hill region is good land, with fertile val-
leys, well watered and unusually well adapted
to stock-raising. The soil on the prairie is a
deep, rick, black loam, the valley lands are of a
more shelly character and the famous mulatto
soil, w hich appears utterly impossible to wear
out. A strip of red gravel land extends
across the county, which is unexcelled for fruit
culture.
The subsoil is of yellow- clay, very deep and
also feitile; the substratum is a limestone
formation. There are indications of silver
seven miles north of San Marcos, and gypsum
exists in abundance. Very fine limestone and
cotton rock is extensively quarried, and large
quantities are Bhipped to San Antonio. The
principal streams are the San Marcos and
Blanco rivers; besido, there are Cypress, Onion
and Bear creeks, and many other smaller
streams, all flowing to the southeast, affording
permanent vjater of clear and limpid qualities,
and mostly with fine bottom lands adjacent.
some curious springs
ore found in the county—notably the source of
the San Marcos river, Augur Hole spring <;
Jacob's Well, very deep and of remamable
purity, the source of Cypress creek; Sink
springs, many natural caves, and the entire
country s< ems to be underlaid by subterra-
nean rivers. «
One ol the greatest curiosities in the United
States is the cluster of springs forming the
headwaters of the San Marcos river. It is
quite near the city, andJorms with its unusual
amount of aqueous IMRation a remarkably
interesting sigbt. The little lake is formed
by many springs, some very large, flowing
from the bottom, which in places is from
twenty to thirty feet in depth and from the
streams which rush out from under the rocks,
a veritable river.
Tbe crystal waters reflect a million rays
from the sun falling upon its placid surface,
revealing the submarine home of Triton,
Neptune, Thetis or the Naiads. Rich and
varied is Ihe clustered hangings of the aquatic
boudoir, while without may lie seen the cor-
ridors, porticos, vestibules, and passages, rich
in coloring though lymphatic in character:
tach shoot was visible that grew within,
As through a crvstal vase the flower is seen.
And Heaven did this transparent veil provide, ~
Because it would not all the beauties hide. *
The practical use of this magnificent stream
is in its abundant and
never failing water power,
which, from its subterranean supply, is in-
exhaustible, and always the same. An eight-
foot fall dam has been put in, over which flows
10,000 cubic feet per minute. Two hundred
borsc-pow er is developed, and it can be readily
raised to twice that. Power would be rented
low bv the proprietors, and everything rea-
sonable would be done to encourage manufac-
tures.
There are a number of other good powers
in the county, on Cypress creek and Blanco
river, two of which are utilized. Along all
the streams and in the northern portion of the
county is heavy timber, live oak, elm, burr
oak, cotton wood, mesquite, pecan and wal-
nut are tbe principal varieties, furnishing
good material for wagons, furniture and agri-
cultural implements.
The product-, are cotton (three-quarter bale
to the aero, bottom and upland) corn (forty
bushels), oats (an enormous yield), cane, wheat
and fruit, l eaches, pears, grapes, plums and
almonds grow very prolific. Dewberries and
mulberries are found in profusion. The great-
est vnriety of wild grapes ever seen are in the
forests. Melons of all kinds do well. A great
deal of interest is being taken in its increase
every year. The aguarita, resembling the
northern currant, grows wild in profusion.
At Wimberly settlement, on Cypress creek,
there is a very successful nursery.

especially of better grades, while there is not
en-,ugh ait. nlion given to dairy kind. Every
man wbo bus aiven his attention to sheep has
done well. There are over 20,000 herded in
the county. The stock is principally merino
ni:d grades; a flock of 1200 clipped l>K pounds
apiece. In begs (he variety is Berkshire and
Essex. In borses, the county is famous. It is
the heme of many noted racers and there is
much improvement, noticeable in farm and
draft tuck.

'1 her' are not many school lands for sale in
tbe county, and those are only suitable for

to location and improvements.
THE BU INESS CENTER
and seat of justice for Hays county is the city
of San Marcos. The first impression oi this
thrifty town is that it must have dropped
down from some Eastern State, being solidly
built mound their beautiful court-house,
w bich whs erected at a cost of $32,000. It has
wide, well-kept streets, good business h >uses,
fine private dwellings, and an intelligent
population of about 2500—an increase of 1000
or more since 18S0.
'ihe tite is very pleasant upon the south
bank of the San Marcos river and upon every
side the stretches of dark green foliage, light
green meadows with their brilliant wild
owers making a suitable frame for so peace-
ful a picture.
The class of business houses are good and
the stocks adequate to meet the demand. This
is the supply point for Blanco City (thirty-five
miles) and a trade of fifteen miles in each di-
rection. Ice is sent to the above city and to
Lockhart, Luting and Kvle from the San
Marcos ice factory. The commercial business
for the year past is approximated at $400,000,
while i 100,000 was spent in pormanent im-
provement, including their handsome court-
bouse and a line jail, costing $11,000.

MANUFACTURING, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
An ice factory has been established, making
three tons per day, two planing mills, a car-
riage factory, four flouring and grist mills and
five cotton gins are kept busy, all but two
utilizing water powers.
Many other factories could be established at
this point to good advantage. During the
year ending July 31, 1883, the shipments via
tbe International and Great Northern railway
included 800,390 pounds bulk grain, 8801 bales
of cottcn, 23 carloads of stock and a great
deal of wool.
A cotton factory would attract a great deal
more of tbiB staple to San Marcos. A woollen
factory would receive an ample amount of
wool for all purposes and have the best of
water. A paper mill could secure oat straw,
and a vegetable and fruit canning establish-
ment would pay well. Any or all of these in-
stitutions could utilize their water-power, and
the bealthfulness of th> locality for operatives
is an added inducement to their being placed
here.
There are two telegraph lines, two banks,
with a capital of over $75,000, having a vol-
ume of loans and discoun s of $100,000. There
is a surplus of $1000 in the town treasury and
the tax is mills.
A new hotel building is the most necessary
improvement to the town needed at present.
There would be a future for San Marcos
springs as a health and pleasure resort were
ti e proper paities to build a hotel upon the
margin of the mammoth springs. Around it
would be the protection of the forest, oppor-
tunities for boating near, and the climate is
especially beneficial to those who are afflicted
with pulmonary diseases, extremes of heat or
cold being rare.
No person will ever regret a visit to the head
of San Marcos river, for there they would be-
hold 11 sight worth a long journey to see, and
bold their breath at tbe marvels of nature re-
vealed in the wondrous work. H. and S.
SYSTEMATICALLY POISONEII.
A Curious Tale of Crime—What Hnllle'l Offi-
cials, Etc.
Boston, August 21.—A special to the Jour-
nal, from Albion, N. Y., to-day, announced
that S. Warner, of Albion, had disappeared,
and the national bank of which he was presi-
dent w as in consequence obliged to suspend.
The announcement threw light upon a
monstrous plot that has for weeks batfled Bos-
ton's district attorney, grand jury and her
smartest deteptives. The conspiracy was suc-
cessful to this extent.
William Burrows, one of the heirs to a
$5,000,000 estate, living at 383 Beacon street,
this city, was systematically poisoned until
the diabolical work was discovered, just in
time to prolong, but not to save, his life.
He is still alive, but it is a living death.
Suspicions were expressed of poisoning, and on
investigation arsenic was found in his stomach.
The patient seemed better, but on May 7 the
bad symptoms returned, anc1 from this time it
has been evident that the young man must die.
The matter was brought to the district attor-
ney's attention, and it was laid before the
grand jury, but insufficient evidence caused a
postponement of the case from time to" time.
The sick man was taken to 311 Beacon
street, and the latter to the Hotel Oxford,
and last week was removed to New York.
The mo' ive for poisoning is unknown. He
now suffers from paralysis so that he cau
move but one muscle of one arm and death
can only relieve him. By the will of Burrow's
father nis estate remains undivided until the
death of his widow, who survives him.
The Indian Territory.
[Champion, f
The Cherokee authorities are still at work
cutting all pastures over 100 acres in extent.
They are making a clean sweep (if all as they
go, and of course it is causing a great deal of
excitement through the Nation. Up to date,
however, no resistance has been made to the
officers.
A half a dozen Sac Indians, representing a
band of about eighty, who have homes in Ne-
braska, were at the Osage capital in the north-
ern part of the Territory last week, trying to
buy a part of their reservation with a view to
settlement. No sale was made, however, be-
cause the Osages wanted them to live under
their laws.
The secretary of war has informed the In-
dian bureau that orders have been issued to
command officers of the division of Missouri
to expel all intruders from the Indian Terri-
tory.
The secretary of the interior has ordered
that the Cherokee Citizenship Court suspend
all action in regard to colored claimants to
citizenship until the arrival of the Dawes com-
mittee, who
selves.
Some time ago parties induced the Acoma
Indians to sign a paper, leasing 2000 acres of
land on their reservation. The lease was
taken East and a stock company formed, when
the Indians discovered it had been changed to
read 50,000 acres for thirty years, and they
are now heartily protesting against it. No
doubt Secretarj Teiler will annul the papers,
but in the meantime the original leasers have
sold out, and want to know how the govern-
ment proposes to reach tnem.
Governor McCurtain has appointed Dr.
Henry Folsom, o< ikwksville, a commissioner
to represent the Chocta w Natiou in the great
exposition to begin next December in New Or-
leans.
A very singular man iage was one which
took place a Leicester, in tho eighteenth year
of Queen Elizabeth's reign, between Thomas
Filsby, a deaf and dumb man, and Ursula
Bridget, a hearing and talkative spinster. As
the prayer book required that the promise of
marriage should be exchanged in spoken
words, the clergy and civil authorities of Lei-
cester were unable to say how this dumb mail
could be satisfactorily married. In theirjper-
pli xity they appealed to the bishop of London,
who, with the help of another member of the
mittee, who will Investigate their claims them-
clergy, devised a marriage service by signs.
The bride made promises in the usual manner,
and the groom did his part thus ; " Having
first emb;aeed Ursula with his arms, he took
her by tbe hand and put the nuptial ring ou
her finger. He then laid his right hand sig-
nificantly upon his heart, and afterwards,
putting tbeir palms together, extended both
bis hands to heaven. Having tuus sued for
the divine blessing, he declared his purpose to
dwell with Ursula till death should separate
tlie~n, by closing his eyelids with his finger,
digging the earth with his feet, as though he
wished to make a hole in ihe ground, and then
moving his arms and body as though tolling a
funeral bell."

LIVE STOCK AT CHICAGO.
Weekly Review of the Chicago Live Stock
Market.
[Special to The News.]
Chicago, August 21.—'The cattle market during
tbe past seven days has rule'i weak, and although
the loss has not been great, values have shown a
decided downward tendency. Trade, even in ship-
ping grades, which show the least change, has
been very slow. Desirable lots, however, of ma-
ture quality, have succeeded in holding their own
fairly well, but it has been ^)wing more to the
limited daily supply than to any activity in the de-
mand. Low and medium descriptions, on tho
other hand, and off grades generally, to which
class the bulk of the arrivalsl have belonged, have
been neglected both by the local and shipping
trade, and show a considerable loss from the
prices of a week ago, while some coarse
grass kinds were nearly unsalable, even
at very liberal concessions. This state of
affairs is the result of the large number and fine
quality of the range cattle received. The con-
tinued absence of auy censiderable export demand
is not seriously felt, as the receipts of such grades
as are suitable for foreign trade have been disap-
pointingly light. Offerings have not, on an average,
included over half a dozen carloads of good native
cattle, and not more than two or three carloads
that were considered choice by eastern shippers.
T he small number of attractive droves on sale were
disposed of at about as good nrices as have pre
vailed any time this year, and the fact that tho fig-
ures reached have not been quite as hisrh as at some
previous times, owing to the poor quality of tho
animals in the yards. For instance, on one of tho
opening days of the week, a well-known buyer pur-
chased one car of good cattle, and said that it was
all he could find suited to his trade. The truth is
i hat this time of the year dippers of low g£ le na-
tives lay themselves liable to heavy losseM \ ac-
count of competition by range cattle.
With an over-supply of Texas cattle, the mtirkefc
forcow sandlov.-gn.de butchers'stuff has ruled
dull and neglected. Prices have been somewhat
irregular, but generally lower, there being no com-
petition whatever except in rare instances where
the stock is of exceptional quality. A few fat lots
brought steady rates, but even these were de
pressed by the anticipation of heavy receipts in
the near future.
Range cattle have been in more liberal supply,
though not as plentiful as in past seasons at this
time of the year. '1 here has, however, been a
pretty good demand until recently, when in-
creased receipts and the expectation of a big run
caused a break of 25(&30c.
The stocker and feeder market has shown
steady firmness throughout. The deman I
keens ahead of the supply and sales are easily
made at fully former figures. \
Closing quotations range as follows: i
Fancy heavy steers $ti 70&^ 9
Choice to fancy steers, 6 35 .jio W
Good to choice steers 0u®6 30
Fair to good steers 5 o.4 ^6 00

The sheep market has continued slumpy, al-
though there has been no material change in
prices. Receipts are not excessive, but fully equal
to the wants of the trade. The quality remains
poor. Scarcely n choice lot has been offered, and
quotations for such are only nominal. Sales range
at $2 C0®4 25.
