Miss Elizabeth Reed of Williamsburg it
was to have Ieen married last night to 14
Mr. Carl Hulshbch, but Mr. Hulsbach r
failed to pensent himself when all was
realy for the performance of the cere- n
mony. The young lady, who is a brn- 14
nette of teventeen years, resides with n
her parents at No 28 Clymer street. it
About a ye r ago she became acquainted r
with Mr. Ilulsbach, who is a clerk in a d
Williamsburg hotel. Hulsbach showed a
himselfa devoted lover, and became ,
known to every one in the neighbor
hood of the young girl's home by his ('
frequent calls at the house. o
A week ago Miss Reed returned
to her home after a visit to friends in
. t the country and egan peparations for
h wdding, wr i was -111 Iast
night. The feast was prepared and a
many guests were present. At the last d
moment a young man who gave his
nasme as John Medgr handed a letter
to the young gir. He aid that it was
Sfrom Mr. Huisbach.
"A friend of his," he added, "told me g
that he had just seen him oil in a steam
er for the old country."
This arnouncement prostrated the P
- on girl and made of the merry guests
' d lnai$nt gatbering.
. At midnight the young girl stood on
her stoop saying, "Oh, I think he will
enme," and when prevailed upon to en
ter the house had the young man who
brought the bad news to enter with her
and tell the story over again.

differ from it as vanoloid differs from
small-pox. The two words denote the
same disease.
Another mistake is to be lees careful
respecting a mild attack. This tends to
lead one to take lees jains in guarding
its communication to others, and to be
less solicitons as to the means of recov
ey. e,
As to the first point, the miltlst attack a
may communicate the most violent. As
to the second a little neglect in any case
may be followed by fatal results, or, at. "
least be attended by life-long harm. Eve- d
ry case, however mild should be in fall P
charge of a physician until the child is "
well-well not only from the fever, but d
from its hidden efficts. These effects s
(sequela) are oftenvastly worse than the P
original disease. t
Another mistake is to let a child be v
exposed early alter recovery. Almost P
every vital oan is lt id wekened
condition, unable to withstand even I
slightly harmful influences. A common
cold may mean death to it.
Another mistake is in the matter of a
disinfection. The chief source of conta- u]
gion is in the particles of scarf skin in- ai
ceesantly thrown from the outside sur
faze of the body and in corresponding L
partiees from the internal surfaces.
The disinfection attempted is apt to be it
exceedingly inadequate, indeed, utterly gi
worthless. The body should be kept oil- f
ed, to prevent, as far as pomible, the
tdcle of scarf-skin escaing. Spec at
tention should be given to the head and a
hair. The whole body should be care
fully washed with soap and water-part li
at a time, to prevent taking oold.
The sick room and all its contents
should be fumigated by burning in it a c4
considerable quantity of sulphur mixed w
with saltpetre-the doors and windows
kept closed some twelve hours after
wards. t
All clothing worn by the patient should h
either be thoroughly cleansed or destroy- a
ed, and in no case worn by another who
has not bad the disease. F

It requires a bright mind and a big
pocket book for the average young man
of Cincinnati to keep even with his lady U1
friends in society, as is instanced in the ri
following experience of a well-known w
gentleman who fell a victim to the wiles ra
of a dashing young lady who made up y,
her mind that her lady guest from j
abroad should have a share in all things 11
a-going.
"My dear friend," began the note n
wnich set his heart in a flutter one day a
east week, "Mias - is visiting me, and h
mamma has given aus tickets to the to
theatre tomorrow evening. If con- b
venient to you we would be delighted q
to have the pleaeme of your company. ,
We wll apect to me you by 7 o'eleek.
Yours truly."
r Arraved in Mi Sunday best, their d
r "dear friend" arrived at the house t
promptly on time, and found the young t
ladies with hats and smiles on, but just t
as the trio was about to start. "Yours, a
truly" remembered the tickets Then
I began a search for them high and low,
t but a Cincinnati detective could not
Shave found those tickets in that house 1
f with a search-warrant. "How provok
a ing! Mamma has put thew away some
where and I can't find them. It's get.
ting late, too. Oh, what shalu we do?"
"Wby that, doesn't matter " aid the c
)o oon man, bravely swallowing his
emotion. "there at' plenty more tick- t
eta at the box-oece." Smiles returned
once more to the facs of the ladies, and
so they tripped down the aisle with
hearts as light as his purse. The play
went on, villains cursed and tanted, and
lovers wooed, .and the curtain went I
down on the taii act, when the ladyv
guest leaned in front of the escort anda i
r whispered to "Yours truly." "Where t
do you generally go for supper after the 4
theatre, dear?"
"Oh, to the St. Nicholas, of course I
rwoldn't p any other place else."
And so they went to the St. Nicholas,
anddt iatyoung man at by and saw I
them devour Iroe' legs and strawber- I
rianddicecream until the bill hiad I
climbed away up into a week's wage. I
Then he felt sick, and went oat "to see
a friend," of whom he borrowed enough a
Sto enable him to pay the bill.
t The aek evening these same young
e lades received a caller, who happened
Sto be the frind who helped to pay the I
bill act the St. Nicholas, and during thE
course of apleasnt eveningr he enter- I
tained them with "a good joke" en his 1
friend, and told w.at "a mean trick" 4
two ladies had played on him. "It'sthe I
Smeant trick 1 ever heard of, and 1 I

* THE ASIATIC CHOLERgA.
Where It tarts. How It Travels ad by
what Reads.
Dg
Phfladephta Times.
e There are comparatively few people
now living in this country who have
ever witnessed a case of Asiatic cholera,
and there is probably no disease of
which mankind in general stands in
e greater fear and which is the object of
more superstition. The fact of the
dread malady spreading its contagionby
personal dontact and following in its
march the main roads of con merce in
t duced Eugene Sue to select Ahasuensr
as the personal propagator of cholera, es
e pecially as it formerly advanced with
the slowness with which Eastern car
ans carried the tea across the Asiatic
t prairies.
In Asia, in the neighborhood of Cal
cultt; in Arabia, near Mecca, and in
Egypt, not far from Cairo, are the breed- 1
ing places of cholera. Ther famine is
fa frequent occurrence. The people grow
- up surrounded by filth such as an Amer- 4
- ican citizen has not the faintest idea of,
and an infectious disease finds the most
favorable conditions for its development 1
Sin those unhealthy districts. The pil
grime who in thousands yearly proceed
from Egypt to Mecca and who live off
the poorest food and amidst the greatest I
I squalor, carry with them the seed of
- cholera and thus forr the connecting
link in the transmission of the disease
from Asia to Africa. If we consider the I
i commercial importance of Alexandria
I we cannot wonder that the cholera, once
e epidemic in Egypt, should swiftly travel
to Europe. Thea far medical history
I has not recorded a single instance of
an original outbreak of cholera any
where but at the places mentioned. 4
Filth seems to be the sine qua non 4
of its development and cleanliness the
most powerfhi barrfer to its march.
H now in UAnAsu cARttrD.
The fact has been established that
the human being alone acts as the car
Srier of the cholera posion. There is no
a well authenticated crse on record where
s rags or clothing, as has been proven of
P yellow fever, had transmitted the in
a feetious material of the Asiatic disease.
a In olden times, when no railroads, no
stnamships, hastened the travel, the
e march of cholera kept pace with the
f rapidity respectively slowness, of human
d intercourse. The disease either followed
e the road of the great tea caravans, which
1- brought the high-primed leaves from
I Asia to Russ, or it travel ed the usual
*. ways of commerce across the Mediter
ý* ranema sea. Wherever a luge belt of
water separated two countries the epi
ir demic disease marched Bom the one to
b the other In the same length of time
$ that it took a ship to sail scross the wa
It ter. Such instances we saw in the
a spreading of the contagion from the con
n tinent of Europe across the channel to
t England and from Great Britain to
se America. In thelatter casq the infectious
- material is n't wafted across the Alantic
ocean and carried the long distance by
p' air. From the moment of the outbreak
e of cholera in England about seven days
is must at least elapse ere the first case of
d the disease can happ.'n in our country,
d for the fastest steamer needs about that
d time to cross the ocean.

Out in the Allegheny Cemetery, says
the Pittsbur Commercial, is a grave
ying due east and west; separated from r
it by but a narrow strip ofgrassy turf is y
a grave lying due north and south. The li
first is the last resting-place of a wife
who was hidden from mortal sight not a
year ago; the other holds the remains of
a Luaband who walked this earth within
the last eighteen months. The position
of the graves is such that if "his" wasex- t
tended but a few feet toward "hers" it I
would make a letter "T."
So much for the ground plan. Some
three months ago the widow was weep
i, over the husband's grave, and the
widower was weeping over the wife's
grave. By chance they raised their eyes
and the sorrow that levels all earthly
lorms, the touch of nature that produces
a universal kiaship, were there. They t
spoke. He told his woesandshe related
her troubles. Then they wept in unison
the pearly and ahne dro that triekled
from thetr eyes and fell off the tips of
their nees splashing on the same tomb
stone. The next week they happened I
to meet there again, and once more they
wept together. The third week they
wept by appointment. All this could I
have but one ending, and ro they were
married. The ceremony took place re
c cently, and those who wept now weep
no more.

Shortly after that high temperature i
poetess, the lati Miss Ella Wheeler. wrote d
these generous lines: tte
'I will love the man whom my soul re
veres I
And kiss him blue with a Dery yearn,"
she was in Cincinnatti, and Charlie Scan
laa, of the Enquirer, was sent out to in- dig
terview her. He felt an inadequateness in
to the task, so be hunted up Marfield, of in
the same paper, and told him he wanted in
him to go with him to see Ella Wheeler. In
"Whoflur?" asked that worthy, in the
brief language of the reporter.
"You know Ella, don't you? Well,she ca
has just come down the homestretch, ir
with a ten-flue base-burner, double-draft
poem of some cocop I.onous kind or other, -
and I'm to go and see her, and I want sI
you to go with me to sort of keep her WI

"Oh, yes, 1 understand. She kicks, mci

What's her record? What-" >a
"Hold o ! What are you talking ha
about? It's Ella Wheeler the poetess, sti
you are to see." do
"That's all right, but you don't catch
me taking no chances. I know womeu;
they fly up at both ends and in the mid- a
die, all at once, like a hoop, when you Ce
tread on it. But I'll go with you and th}
take the risk of realimng on a life insur- a
anee policy." thi
So the two reporters went to the hotel, da
sent up their cards, and in a short time to
were in the parlor waiting for Ella, who th
presently came in. II
"Ah," said Charlie; rising and ~owiug, wi
"Miss Wheeler, I presume? I'm Mr.
Scanlield, of the Enquirer, and this is my
friend, Mr. arlan--" a
"Gentlemen, what have I done?" ce
"Why," responded Charlie with alac- co
rity, his usual suavity returning, "are G

lines: pa
"I will love the man whom my soul re

"1 am that she," was the dignifled re- K
Dly. in
"Well. Miss Wheeler, will you object l
to talking about them ior a brief season?
I don't care to talk to you about any M
other of your poems; this one will be
be all, and only those two lines."
"Proceed with your questions," smiled,
the poetess, letting her head rest on the
index finger of her right hand, until m
that member was bent half-way to the di
wrist pl
"I do not desire to be inquisitiveatak, is
but have you ever met the man whom
I your soul reveres?" inquired Charlie. ,

description. For a !ong time the author
ities tolnd it very ditficlult to trace or
even to explain the crimes which she
committed, for no one suspe, ted that :a
woman was the guilty person. No two
of her nrbberies were commnitted in tthe
same manner. Sometimes she was a
t passenger and at other times she was
a with the banditi, and took part in the
t shooting, if any there was to he done. A
woman of asope personal charms, when
Sapprzlifitaly dressed, she was a lietnd
t when about her business of murder and
pillage whom very few cared to encount
er. Her male assistants were Iany and
devoted.
One of her schemes, it has Ieen learn
ed, was to hide her time in some town
t until she found one or two men of means
C who were going by the diligence to some
r distant point and then take passs.ge with
them. It is suspected that on more tilan
one occasion she took the driver into her
confidence, but when this could not be
t done she readily deceived him or quiet
f ed him with a bullet. A perfect mistress
r 3f the art of dissimulation and lwrssess
f ing a soft and insinuating n.anner, she
had no difficulty in worming herself in
I to the good graces of travelers who did
not look for a Mexican bandit under her
attractive guise. In this way she easily
t discovered who had money and valua
J bles and who had not. If she found a
e man who appeared to be of some cunse
quence, but who did not have much muo
ney, she betrayed him into the bantds of
her confederates, who held him ior a ran
e som. If her victim appeared to be well
Ssuqplied with cash he usually stet a vio
lent Beath within twenty-four hours.
Leaving a town before daybreak in
company with two trave:ers whom she
had marked for robbery she would coyly
accept the customary innocent attention
at their hands, and perhaps indulge in a
little conversation with them. An hour
,f later, when well on the journey, watt hI
'- ing her opportunity,she would draw two
' revolvers, and before they could detect
her movenment, lodge a bul!et in the back
r of each of them. The driver, 'husy with
s his team, and perhaps paid not to be too
s- attentive to what was going on behind
him, would not disturb her. With her
s, booty secure she would take her own
' time about leaving the stage, always
waiting until a point convenient to the
r fastness of some of her confederates was
reached.
It It was known that the highways were
e infested by robbers, and it was not
,- thought strange that an occasional mur
n der was perpetrated, but the similarity
between severs! cases soon attracted at
tention and various experiments led to
the discovery that a woman, operating
Sfirst on one road and then on another,
was at the bottom of them. The plausi
ble stories told by the drives served to
mystify tite offerl more than any thing
else. They always asserted that high
waymen had done the work, and if in
qury was wade at one end of the rouet
h for the woman who started it was always
said that sihe arrived at her destination
unmolested. The absence of telegraphs
and of any regular means of commaunica
tion made it posible to keep up this de
l- ception for a long time.
t. When the woman found that she was
SMesuspected she absndos.ed this plan of
operations, and, remaining with the rob
ber band to which she was attached, de.
7 voted the greater part of her time to the
abduction of wealthy agriculsulsats. Her
plan in these ease was very much the
same as in her stage robbery enterprises.
- First winning the confidence of her n
tended victim and getting him involved.
in eome intrigue, she would betray him
Sat the proper time into the hanes of her
amsociates, who would spirit him away
and preslently open nerouiations for his
return. While these were in progress
she would be busy settling her met for a
fresh victim a hundred miles away.
La Caramboda's latest exploit was un
Ssucceesefl. She was hovern about the
San Juanico hacienda with the intention
of securing the abdnntita oron CIvei*o
SVasques :,r one of his sons1 when a fk l
low, who had lons served in her train,
deserted and communicated her secret to
the authorities. ThLy made elatbr..te
pieparations to mcaptureher entire party,
n but, failing inthis, they made earem of her

fate, her followers determined on a res

Sthree of the bandits were killed and the
Sothers put ti flight. When the troope
