Father Mahe returned to Providence on Tuesday morning and was. gladly greeted by his- numerous friends in town. Rev. C. Mahe stands deserved ly high toin East Carroll, not only as a faithful servant of the church he rep sents, but also as an energetic public spirited helper in everything that tends to promote progress and the general social and material welfare of ion . people. The hiring of unlicensed teams to haul treight or anything else within the corporate limits is a direct violation of the law, which lays the parties so do ing liable to severe penalty; besides, those who do so, from whatever cause, show a sad wapt- of appreciat ion of the Fire Colnpaf Inl our midst, who have from necessity a team in the business, as well as dolak- grabs -injustice to those tae nilers engaged in the hauling buse sCs w pavan .annual license to the de.rath eis1Tight to do so.

The 'boarders at Opurlock's hotel have been Incr'easing of late Two weeks or mJri-kgo, when we referred to the paridiee'tnoeh house, there were but - three who were enjoying te" luxartes o1f . the establishment. To-day there -are nine, all negroes, and the cry is still they come. The charges upon which" these negroes are imprisoned and awaiting trial are as tllows: Two young boys, quite vyung, charged with burglarly; two men, burglary and entering in the night time; one. assault and battery; Sam Alexander, shooting a fellow negro called Smokey City, on Bunch's Reod ii 1888; one, cutting and maim ing-with a hoe: one, shooting his wife; one, up.escaped canvict who got away from the same hotel about six years ago whlo .Mr. Savory Yarborough was botil keeper. The hotel is in an excellent sanitary condition, the food plain and good, and all the Surroundings 1: managed and conducted with the greatest care possible. Talking by, or through the wires is now admitted to be by far the most sure and expeditious way of communi cating with persons -a a distance on business, pleasure or for any purpose whatever. For sometime past much talk has been indulged in about having a tele phone conunecting Providence with dis Itant points above and below, but thus far nothing mnaterial in relation to the matter has been done. Those who have had more or less experience in telephoniug state that the project is perfectly feashble at a very reasonable Lost, and would be regarded as Invalu .bl as a matter of saving time and ex penD, when once established, by all bL|intess mel and the commuiity gen erally.

Captain Townsed, U. S. Engineer in charge of this district, called at Provi deuce with the U. S. steamer Florence on Sunday evening last and took assistant U. S. 8. gineer W. S. Brown on down the river with him to in spect the new line of levee run by assistant Brown from Milliken's Bend to Cabin Teal, a distance of four and one-half miles, which they did effect ually the following day, with the mer cury up as far as ninety in the shade. Through the courtesy of assistant Brown, who returned home Tuesday morning, we learn that the new levee we refer to will contain about 450,000 cubic yards, which will be divided in four sections, ranging from 50,000 up. so as to meet the capacity of small as well as large levee contractors. The letting will take place at the U. S. Engineers office in Memphis on Wed nesday next. We have not seen the advertiselent at this writing. but will insert it in our paper if it ap pears in any Of our exchanges before we go to press. We further learn from the same source that a general inspection of the levees from the Arkansas line down to Bedford's will be speedily made after the letting, and whatever balauce is left of the apportionment, will be care fully expended for the safety of the people, wherever there is a sat ifactory show of permaucy for the work that might be needed. We take munch pleasure in making a note of the close and conscientious at tention to busiuess shown by Captain Townsend in these matters and the assiduity of his assistant at this point in faithfully carrying out general in structious. 'rho weather this week has been nearly a repetition of last week's weather. Not a drop of rain has fallen. The mercury has been as high as 91 and as low as 55, a variance of 36 degrees of temperature. The winds during the warm spell came from the south and south-east, and during the colder days front the north and north west. This highly favorable weather has enabled the planters to gather all the cotton open in sight in an excellent condition; but it came too late tu be of material benefit as regards quanti ty, though we should not complain, because complainings are of no avail in matters beyond our control. Business has improved some in town and country since our last issue, tak ing its cue doubtless from the inm proved price of the staple and the steady, strong markets reported at several important points where cotton is handled. . The health of the people of our par ish is repcrted to be quite favorable for the season of the year, and all things considered, quite a cheerful feeling prevails with regard to the future. Messrs. Yancy Bell and Oliver llur ley left on Tuesday morning bound for Grand Isle, where they will stay for a few days to recuperate by breath inug the balmy breezes of the gult. We wish themn any amount of pleasure and reinvigoration. To-day according to the Jewish cal ender, I thie most important feast ob served by the decendauts of Abraham, [saac and Jacob. It is kuown as the "Day of Attouement," the Sabbath of Sabbaths, on whlich day all bulsiness and labor is strictly prohibited. ,We are pleased to learn that Mr. I Wm Ailing who has beien quite sick, is now steadily convalescing under the medical care of Dr. F. ILt. Bernard. Mr. Ailing is one of our oldest and best We sincerely wish him many, many more days of pleasant existence. We had a very pleasant call from Mr. Dudley, the P'rincipall of the Providence white school, after we had gone to press last week.

For sometime past this youthful scribe up to Saturday morning last, had been wrestling with a violent at. tack of squirrel hunting on the brain. Whenever any of the numerous Nm-ta rods around town would talk squir rel and tell of their exploits in the woods we would begin to wriggle in our chair, throw down our faber, long for a breach loader aad a snap shot "under the greenwood tree." Time and again we caught on to ourselves chanting, "Some love tO tosni, o'er the dark sea foam, But a life in the woods for me." It is all over now though. When anybody comes around now and talks of hunting we are not il lt, especially hunting squirrels. We are dured. The very namne of the pesky, hairy, barking, ciimbing little rodents sounds disagreeable to us in the extreme, anti this is how it came abut. Last Saturday morning in com: any with our 3oung son Oscar. fully armed and equipped we sallied forth I at the very crack of day hound for the 1 Guier raneb, seven miles or mole away, where we arrived as the sun be gan to gild the tree-tops, and re ceived a cheerful, hearty old fashionedt welcome at the hands of our friend Go urge. who had been waiting our arrival. Dismounting, we entered Iris cosey. comfortable dwelling, and in a very few minutes Oscar and his pa were seated at the bounteous break fast table in company with our worthy host, aid soon became eagerly en gaged in the full enjoyment of de licious strong coffee, warm white bis cuit, F. C. B., as the Phythians say, broiled chicken, fried sweet potatoes fresh from the patch, aind suudr) good things, which we indulged in to our utmost bent. It was a meal at early morn, that we will pleasantly retnem ber for some time to come. So far, so good. Breakfast over, squirrel hunting was - tlly discussed and the localities of the cunning little creatures frequented, talked over; pecan trees, water holes, distances and so on. Mr. Guier in company with Oscar left at once for the back of the planta tion, saying they would be gone about twenty minutes. Getting tired wait ing their return,after having examined the big mound near the house, which we will tell about som other time, we took our gun and started for the woods afoot, and here our trouble began. Not saying anything to any one about the route to be taken, sup posing that the squirrel killing gun would guide Mr. Guier and our son in the proper direction to find us. The motive that prompted this move was doubtless a desire to steal a march on George and Oscar; but the sequel will show that with us it was all march and no steal at the outcome. Under the shady trees.we footed it briskly for awhile, peering eagerly be .low and above for a passin,, or busy rodent. We had been told by a re liable person that the woods were tull of them. so along we trudged. through tangled vines, across boggy bayous, over fallen timber and bristling briers, hoping against hope, to find at least one lone squirrel to satisfy the craving of our huunting appetite, but never a one put in au appearance, and com pletely exhausted we found the David son bridge-no squir-rel, no nothing. Before us a long weary, warm dusty road that meandered with the bayou until it reached the lake, over three miles away; above us a gleaming red hot sun shining with angry heat along the route we had to travel to reach home, for we had not heard fromn George and Oscar, and going back was entirely out ot the question, so onward we footed it towards the lake. To tell of what we actually endured while plodding our weary way would take up too much space. Soon the hot sun began to tell upon our hoary hard head, noises in our ears soudled like squirrels barking-"the woods was full of'em" in the distance. Numerous gin houses were sending fourth their shrill notes, and our tottering steps indica ted that exhausted nature was about ready to sink to rest when we found welcome shade in front of Waterloo. Hlere we remained awhile, rested, re cuperated and rehead hardened, when onward we went, with more or less repetition of the nioises, until we came in sight of the lake, when we were overtaken by George and Oscar on horseback. Did we mount-; no Inu deed, our dander was up when asked to do so. So we footed it to home, and felt when we got there that some body had played the fool. Thus our squirrel hunt resemnbled the play of Hamlet with lfainlet left otit, and thL i scribe played the ghost." EbgAST 01 KICiLOiII, TimeDl)emecat.] ErrPPnostr. tSatms. Sept. 5, 1892. 'Good God! How you reek of cholera !" This was the cheerful greeting of a IyounDPhitnin irho is-busy in the tholet wards here. 'I had slept dur ing the last night in one-of the parl ions. It was on the fto,r which we hat swept out" It was a ltxnry comn pared to the night in ward F" I had been amusing myself by taking the tempersture of the doctor, and oar heads were very der together- W'e were both looking at t he ther"opeter whesn he made the zexsmiatiogg - be d°~ wuI~~, It to-daC~b'," he said -pleasantly. "It's the Elbe water you toot yesterduly,"nThis be. 1 ing the case I have hurred through with this letter and will have it posted at once, for I know how suddenlF cholera disables a man both mentally and physically. This wonderfully good news has chlaered me up immensely. If I am struck downsthe result will be of nega tive value, because it will merely go to show that so far the Haffkine lnooa lation is null. On the other hand if I do not have the cholera and can yet show that I have passed cholera gernus through my intestines, this will go further than aught else to prove the value of the inoculation to which I have submitted. If it is so a great dis covery wilt have been made; one in teresting to every human being- I shall proceed at once tot have the necess:ary bacteriological examination made. I must apologize to those six gentlemen with whom I sat to eat sup per this evening, for I omitted to take the usual precautions to disinfect my hands, which might have alarmed them had they known they reeked with cholera. You laymen possibly don't know how overpowering the smell of cholera is. You professional men do. I do. But 1 behaved loyalty at that meal. I touched nothing that I did not eat, nothing that my cholera-smouched ' hands had touched went beyond me. In this effort I nearly choked myself eating a large piece of black bread. I could not leave it. Any morsel that would possibly have been infections had to go down my throat. ALL WARNINGS DISREGARDED. One of the principal warnings, and one upon which HITrr Director Rumpf t had laid great strees, was that which a prohibited lay eating with uncleansed hands--that is. I was enjoined not to taike that means which as the easiest I and surest way to take the illness. There was yet another rule which is looked upon as one of the principal ones, and to which Dr. Rumpf had especiall c:alled my attention. It was ' that referring to the extreme care I which should be taken not to put one's ingers to the mouth. All day I had i handled cholera patients in every con dition. I should not be justified, in a paper not strictly scientific aud techni- i cal, in detailing too much of the rea- t listic side of the picture. It woulnid be too grewsome for the general reader. ! LeL it suffice that I underwent all the details of nursing cholera patientss. But the point of it all is that I con stantly not only rubbed my hands over my mouth immediately after touching tihe sick, but inserted my fingers into my mouth. This I repeated probably twenty times during the day. In the evening, at 10:30. I had just served Offermann with seltzer. He was one of the cases marked very bad. When She had finished with the mug I took it to the bathroom and drained out the rest of the soda water, and carefully allowed my lips to dwell upon the edges of the muexractly where his had been. This put me into immediate contact with the cholera microbes. " Offermann is now one of the gone cases. Thus in onue day, with my system thoroughly open to infection, which is niore apt to fasten upon a stranger coming into con tact with the disease than upon ' nother, I have madte the following essay : 1. I have touched food with my hands virtually reeking with cholera. 2- I have handled cholera patients constanutly and afterward placed my hands in my mouth 3. I have drank from the samemug after a cholera patient, touching with my mouth the edges of the vessel where his had touched. 4. I have slept in the bed of adead cholera patient, between two patients in an active state of that disease. 5. I have drank of water which comes from the Elbe, and which is the cause of all the illness here. 1 got the water from outside the door of ward DUANKt MORE ELBE WATER' 6. I have drank water from the Elbe taken from the river at a point just outside the water works which supyly tha town. This last testImade yesterday, drinking two glasses at 9 o'clock in the evening' My tempera ture was then 36.6 degrtes, centigrade thermometer. 7. I have aten a roll and butter which had been in the pocket of my canvas jacket several hoursin a cholera ward, and I ate it immediately after having supported and handled one of our very worst eases. The case wvas one which came in yesterday afternoon and was laid in the bed where Schuliti lhad died the night previous. He was in a state of collapse" The salt water infusion waa.tried and strangely enough, he 'led profusely. At 2:45 he canme in. At 3;201 I was holding his right arnm. His pulse had been very weak anua now failed entirely. He was dead. Immnediately after, with my hknds covered with the blood and with the strong smell of cholera upon them, I ate my broad and butter without wvashing my hands. 'this, of course, was strictly against the rules of the ward, or indeed any other ward, for eating among cholera patients is tempt ing death in a reckless manner. But let me tell Dr. Manchon that I ate by stealth, so as in no way to give a bad example with the other nurses. You will remember how I told you of young Woyton, who was my neigh bor the night I slept in ward F. He died during the day after a long fight, in which youth and magnihicent .phy slque wett for nothing. How mad a fight. I shall never forget, Within a few minutes of Woyton's death the fireman, who was in an opposite bed, died. Life and the man who had laid next to my right-hand neighbor, Norrlos, and who died, parted com pany. 'Thus two on the right and tWo on the left of me as I slept on' that ghas~v night are dead, Ward F. hase many empty beds now.
