Cholera has jumped across the
Athiiitic and made its appearance
in the United States. A child died
at 'Port Anderson, Miss., Friday, of
what the physicians are satisfied was
Asiatic cholera.
"A very cheap add a very you ;g
parrot could quickly tell all theiv is
of Gov. Cleavcland's record," re
marks the Indianapolis Journal.
Well, may be; butwouldn't it take
an experienced old bird, with plenty

The Hon. Roswell P. Flow-r,
whose presidential boom went so
sadly out of existence at Chicago,
expresses himself as satisfied with
'he ticket, and will use his influence
and money to further the success of
Cleveland. He predicts that Gov
Cleveland will carry New York by
(50,000 majority
The feeling in favor of Cleveland
and Hendricks among the members
of the New York Produce Exchange
is very strong. Tuesday the first
steps were taken toward the forma
tion of a Cleveland and Hendricks
battery. In a short time about tifty
volunteers were secured, and it is
predicted that within a few days a
membership of several hundred will
be obtained. A number of republi
cans who have repudiated tho Blaine
nomination will join the ranks. The
club will wear a neat uniform and
bo ready to take part in the first
large parade of the campaign.
A Panama newspaper speaks of a
local physician, Dr. L. Girerd, as
having discovered a method of suc
cessful vaccination for yellow fever.
"He has vaccinated himself," it says,
"with a culture of yellow fever
germs, and experienced a mild form
of the disease. It may be remem
bered that a proposition was marie
in cucgress a few months ago, to of
fer a reward of $100,000 to any pt r
;?on of any country who would pr
form the precise service which is
thus claimed for the Panama physi
cian. It is rather remarkable that
at the same moment Pasteua should
be endeavoring to do for rabies,
Koch for Cholera, and Girerd for
Tciiow fever, what Jeniier did for
small-pox.
A syndicate of northern and wes
tern capitalists has been formed with
a capital of $1,000,000 for develop
ing and wording the marble quar
ries around Tate Station, near Jas
per, Ga. The marble lies as a rule
from two to eight feet below the
surface. Excavations have been
made in a score of places, and every
where, without exception, solid mar
ble whs struck. A hole was drilled
in the marble and a blast put in it.
The explosion always showed that
the bed of marble was solid and
deep. Several creeks ran through
tlie valley and ran over solid marble
all tlie way. "With the machinery
already put up at a cost of $5 0,000,
the company are cutting out and
sawing 300 cubic feet per day. It
expects to have running next year
ten or twelve engines and 300 men
at work. Gen. McDonald, of Geor
gia, says the quarries which he vis
ited in company with Senator Joe
Brown and other state oflicials, Sat
urday last, were a revelation to him.
The Lake City Reporter sajs:
"The Savannah News utters some
weighty words to the discontented
democrats of the second district.
We may understand, once for all,
that the defeat of Mr. Dougherty
means the success of Mr. Bisbee.
If our people are ready to have re
enacted the miseries and vices of the
radical regime, let them remain in
different and refuse to participate in
politics. Let us view this matter as
patriots and free men, and we can
find no argument which can justify
the neglect of our duties as Demo
crats or as good citizens. The- only
hope for this country, politically, is
in a white man's government; and
this means, government by the de
mocracy. Mongrelism, independent
ism, and republicanism can do noth
ing for the uplifting and purifying
of the body politic. Twenty-four
years' experience in national affairs
proves that among the most corrupt,
vicious, and dishonest parties which
has ever been tolerated, the republi
can party stands foremost. Fellow
countrymen, we must maintain dem
ocratic supremacy, and in order to
do this, Ave must rally to the duly
recognized standard bearer of the
second district."
VAXCE AS A JOKIJIt.
Three Anecdotes of tlie Popular
Xortli Carolinian.
Vance, of North Carolina, is a large,
heavily-built man, with a heavy grey
moustache, a twinkle in his eye, and a
lover of a joke that knows no limitation,
says an exchange. He is an inexhausti
ble story teller, and he is rarely caught
without some retort or repartee at hand.
A newspaper man tilling him one day
that lie ivas aliout starting for a rather
out of the-way portion of the Senator's
own atr.tr?. and was aakLog something
about tii; : ecommodation he was likely
to llnd. "They'll give you some of their
fried hog and eggs," he replied. "That's
better than nothing," said the newspa
per man. "I don't know I don't know"
the senator answered in a dubious tone.
"I've tried both."
Vance was in tlie Southern army, and
is a little lame as the result. lie was in
one of the battles before Richmond,
where the fighting was particularly hot.
A startled rabbit appeared for a moment
on a fallen tree, and then, at a murder
ous discharge of musketry, darted like
an arrow for the underbrush. General
Vance had noticed him, and as he flew
for cover the general called out, in a
manner that left no doubt as to his abso
lute sincerity : "t!o it, cotton-tail! If I
hadn't a reputation to maintain I would
run. too."
One of the liveliest campaigns that was
ever carried on in North Carolina wiu
the one in which Vance and Judge Set
tle competed for the governorship. They
carried on a joint debate. All the white
democrats turned oiu to hear Vance, and
all the colored republicans to hear So
tie. On one occasion, at the conclusion
of the speaking, Vance was informed
that there were some charming young
ladies who desired to testify their devo
tion to the democratic party by kissing
the democratic candidate for governor.
Nothing loath, Vance descended from
the platform and kissed a dozen or so
young lieauties from the Old North State,
when he paused long enough to turn
around towards his competitor and shout :
"Settle, I'm kissing my women: you kiss
yours !" On account of their raco and
previous condition of servitude, Settle
did not kiss the feminine republicans.
The Empress of Russia must Le en
dowed with a wonderful constitution.
The mental anxiety which she his un
dergone for years past, with the dread
ful shock occasioned by her father-in-law's
death, would have killed most wo
men lon ago. but has not even enfee
bled her. Last month she reached Ber
lin one morning, went to the embassy
(which is not merely an embassy, but is
provided with regular quarters for the
imperial family) held a large reception of
royalties there, dined at 4 with the Em
peror, went afterwards to the theatee,
and at 11:20 was en route again for Russia.

About sixty million conies of TheScn have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all tho col
umns of all The !Si'N printed and sold last year
you would get acontinuousstripof interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, arxl sane wit lonir enouurh to reach
from IYinling House square to the top of
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then tiacK to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
Hut The Scn is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twentv-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sux during
the past year has spent only one nour over it.
It is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
The Stn is. and will continue to le, a news
paper which tells the truth without four of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mut
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest irovernment, and which therefore Ikj
lieves that the Republican party munt go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord. I."s4.
If you know The Pt'x, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to te the most

which justified the remark in his parting ad

The Times will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever lie
fore in its history more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tlercely criticized, with a more complete, or
ganization, and an able ssoff (it contributors
and with the same indejendence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and jKiwerf ul
in t he past.
The Times lias no party to follow, no candi
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and tho pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its jmwI
tion as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to Ix; continually in the advance in all
that can add value ti a newspaper.
The value of a newspaix-r is not in its size or
displny, but in the intelligence and care, tho
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. The Times sjends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of tho dHy in
the most concise andattractiveshape.and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc
tive reading. The lest writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
cle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
The Weekly Times is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
aaro. The day of thoac papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural imputation, have made the old weekly
rnetroiiolitan newspaier unsatisfying. Thoso
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward-moving ieoplo;they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their lorrner power.
Those papers have had their usef ulness, but it
is gone: and, with it, they are going, too. It
was not the fault of the papers: it was the im
provement of the country that brought alstut
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher newg; and they re
quire more than news.
