"James G. Blaine, of Maine." and
"Grovcr Cleveland, of New York,"

Ttie so-called Siberian plague is re
potted to have broken out in Russia. If
tho affliction Is tho gennino disease of
that name, this is its first appearance
in Europe since 1S1C. It was very fatal
at Moscow in 1771 and 1772. The Hrit
ih Islands were last visited in 1665; tho
"great plague in London," like the fire
of the next rear, is an historic land
mark. The plague of thor fourteenth
century the cclcbratcdf black death"
Is said to have taken ofT i',O0O,000
Europeans. The disearo is now be

the regions south and east of the Medit--rrancan.
It is essentially a malignant
contagious fever.
TnE situation of the Portugtieo in

that station the Barrcto has been
captured by the inurgents, the crew

and the delay in putting down this rl-Ing

adopt energetic measures without fur

Br actual count, a Philadelphia paper
says, there are 13,862 "Maiden Books"
in the United States, exclusive of Idaho
and Washington Territories which are
still to be heard from. These rocks
arc widely distributed, but there are
no fewer than G50 iu Michigan. 3o0 in
Wisconsin, 180 in Iowa, 187 in Illinois,
250 in Indiana, and 567 in Vermont
alone. A "Maiden Bock" is always
connected with the unvarying legend
that a beautiful and gentle Indian maid,
daughter cf a noted chief, leaped from
its apet into the yawning abyss below,
rather than to wed with a barbarian
brave, -hoscn by her stern parents, or
to shofr herself false to th3t other red

The cholera panic in France recalls
an incident of tho elder Dumas in 1S32.
Ills servant rushed into his room one
day crying. "The cholera is in Paris! A
man fell dead with it in the Iluo Chan
chat!" Dumas 'aughed, incredulous.
"But it is perfectly true. Monsieur!"
said the scared domestic; "ho is lying
stark and stiff and as black as a negro,
though they ha c rubbed him for more
than an honr." Humph! Perhaps
they have robbed him with a blacking
brush," retorted Dumas, carelessly; but
within a week ho had tho cholera him
self, severely, and would probably have
died had not the servant given him an
ovcrdoso of ether by mistake. She
gave him a glassful of ether with a few j
drops of water, instead of the prescribed
glassful of water with a few drops of
ether Dumas swallowed it. la uncon
