ea kept as thoroughly clean as careful
an
There are comparatively few people
now living in this country who ha
ever witnessed a case of Asiatic chol
era, and there is probably no diseas
of which mankind in general stands in
greater fear, and whie`L is the object o
more superstition. The facet of the
dread malady spreading its contagion
by personal contact, and faliewiag in
its march the main roads of commerce
induced Eugene Sue to seleet Ahasue
sus as the personal propagator el chol-
era, especially as it formerly advanced
with the slowness with which eastern
caravans carried the tea across the As-
iatic prairies.
In Asia, in the neighborhood of Cal-
cutta; in ,Arabia, near Mecca, and in
Egypt. not from Cairo, aro the
breeding -places of cholera. There
famine is a frequent occurrence. The grow up surrounded by filth
such as an. American citizen has Rot:
the faintest idea of, and an infectious
disease fends the most favorable condi-
tions for its devolopinent in those un-
healthy districts, The pilgrims who in
thousands yearly proceed front Egypt
t0 MOOS, and who live oho poorest
feed awl amid the greatest squalor,
4,4 carry with theta the seeds of cholera,
and thus form the conuectiag link in
the transmission of the disease from
Asia to Africa, If we consider the
commercial importance of Alexandria
we can not wouder that the cholera,
Eg
once epidemic in ppt. ah"uld swiftly
travel to Europe. .thus far medical
Watery has not recorded a, single ii-
stenosl of an. origival out break of Allot,
era anywhere but at tlao places men -
dotted. Filth seems to bo the sine qua
non of its development and cleanliness
the most powerful barrier to its march.
The fact has been established that
the human being, alone acts AS the car -
riot of the cholera poison. There is
no wall-authonUoated ease on record
whore rags or clothing, as has boon
proven of yellow fever, has trausmltted
the infectious material of the Astatic
disease. In olden times, when no rail-
roads, no steamships. hastened the
travel. oho march of cholera kept pace
with alto rapidity, respective slowness,
of buwan i.nt,.rcourse. The dissent
either followed the road of the great
test caravans, which brought the high-
priced leaves 1rotu Asia to Russia, or it
traveled the usual ways .of commerce
across the Mediterrauenn sea. Where -
ever a largo belt of water separated
two coatutries the epidemic disease
marched from the ono to the other in
the same length of time that it took a
ship to sail across the water. Such in-
stauces we saw in the spreading of the
a.'ontaghhn from the continoutof Europe
across the channel to England and
from Great Britain to Amerion. In the
latter case the infectious material is
not wafted across the Atlantic 000an
and carried the long distance by the
stir. From the moment of the out-
break of cholera in England about
s en days must at least falx se ore the
f t case of the disease can happen in
our country, for the fastest steamer
needs about that time to cross the
ocean.
We knew. therefore, long since that
neither in. Europe nor America could
Asiatic cholera develop itself without
its germ having first been introduced
into these countries. We also were
43twaro of the fact that human inter-
course alone propagates the contagion,
,and experieuco has taught us that filth
favored and cleanliness prevented the
spread of the disease. In modern
times, where public hygiene had be-
come such an important factor in the
governing of nations, where the public
sanitary matters are generally under-
stood and highly appreciated in civil-
ized countries, the facts just enumer-
ated have been made subservient to the
general welfare of the people. Tho
original breeding -places of the malady
were first determined; then the utmost
precautions were taken on the first
signs of the outbreak of the disease to
confine it to its limits—to isolate the
district attacked. &sides every state,
every city, every county established its
own board of health. This board had
to see that the greatest cleanliness
existed in its locality, and that travel-
ers from the suspected regions were
first quarantined ere they were per-
mitted to enter the protected district.
That it is possible to limit the spread
of Asiatic cholera, to lessen the num-
ber of its victims, and to dituinish its
severity by the measures just described,
the experiences of the last ten years
has proven. The last epidemic jest
reached our shore, but, finding no
suitable soil for its development, it
died out of its own necount after hav-
ing attached a few victims in the filth-
iest quarters of the metropolis. The
epidemics which last year raged in Egypt
and Calcutta were totally confined to
their original starting point. Perhaps
the best proof of the utility of strict
sanitary measures was given by the
epidemic in Egypt. in the immediate
neighborhood of the infected place
1 some thousands , of English soldiers
were camping; many foreigners from
all parts of the civilized world were
then living. not fifty miles from : the
dangerous district; a greatly augmented'
intercourse. took place between Egypt
and Europe, and still the disease never
spread outside of the . sanitary cordon
or befell but a few persons in the pro-
tected quarter.
We need, therefore, have. in our coun-
try but little fear of a visit by the As-
iatic cholera if we but use the common
precautions which modern sanitary
science has taught us.. All vessels ar-
riving at our shores should be carefully
inspected, all ships ;coming; from in-
feoted"ports should be forced to under-
go a scot quarant e., all; emigrants
ikonld be rigidly examined, and the
elevens and alleys of oar cities should
and uninterrupte attention can make
m. hes prepared we may have
reasonable hope of escaping the
dreed visit, The united exertions of
the most enlightened nations may suf-
ve flee to prevent the disease from spread-
ing beyond its original limits; still we
e had better adopt the .most efficient
means ourselves to keep the destroyer
from our boundaries. Pkida(felplii

Jailer. I want a new sensation; I wan
to struggle and be forced in, and hear
the key click in the lock with a spite-
ful snap; else hose can I write of the
dark cell realistically?"
On this I proceed to throw my arms
about and behave otherwise in most
rebellious manner. With a quiet smile
I alp humored in ray little "crank,"
and In a second I find my hands pin-
Toned in it firm grip, and ant pushed

themselves,
click in the lock, and over the one we
bar at the top seeing the last of th
light. I know it was nilly, but, over
come with terror, 1 was speeehloss to
one brief second, and it seemed to m
as ii an ley gold band held my temple
in a cruel pressure. Then from m
dumb lips came a piercing shriek, the
echoed throughout those deserted hall
with horrible distinctness. Five min
Utes! It was hours before they re
turned with the lanterns. ""Oh, !tear,'
1 groaned. "will 1 be here always?
Have they forgotten which one 1 am
locked in." 1 fait that much longer of
solitary confinement would turn my
brain, and 1 began to gasp for breath.
At last they come; the gleam of the
light increases; the steps sound more
distinctly* on my ear returning to re-
lease me, 1 hear the jailor's keys jig
gle with joyful sounds of freedom from
my self-imposed torture, and the door
files open. I can not apoak, and, wo-
manlike, choke down and sob instead.
At this my friend shows neo his
• watch. "How long have I been there?"
11 faltered out. "Exactly one minute,"
Ihe replies. Sure enough, this is true;
yet in that one minute all my life
seemed to come up before my mental
vision, just as It is said one's life comes
rap to the drowning man or woman,
1 am told that usually ono dose of
the dark cell suffices the culprit, and I
can not banish the impression that it is
haunted with fiendish spirits. I know
it was silly of 1110 to be so unnerved, I,
who have gone about London's slums.
and know no fear of living thieves in
London's streets, motet uncanny hours.
Well, call me sentimental if you like,
for, all the same, I solemnly assure
you that I had rather die on the in-
stant, be shgt;,dosvn in the twinkling of
an eye, than be locked and bolted `'for
ono night in the dark cell at Newgate,
with no more tangible terror than those
born of my terror-stricken apprehen-
sions.
It is such a little place, only big
, enough to sit in—a little dark closet,
in fact. Some inbuman mothers shut
up their refractory children in a daark
clothes -press as apunishment. At all
times 1 believe the woman who strikes a
child to be a human monster, unfit to
hold the sacred office of "mother." After
this 1 shall more loathe the woman who
shuts her mischievous little child in a
closet for five minutes, or even a min-
ute, as a punishment, for I know now
by experience the awful fright entailed.
Oh, mothers! don't terrify the little
folks. Perhaps their vexing little
pranks are only an overflow of animal
spirits. Learn to curb your own tem-
per, and be gentle with the mites.
Take the hot, fretful little girl in your
arms, undo the pinafore and wee frock,
and, slipping her out of the burden-
some clothes, place her in a warm bath
daintily perfumed, and my word for it,
the nervous little one will soon be
splashing, about the water in merri-
ment. Don't forget that children have
nerves as well as grown folks, and
thaI. they have their troubles in child
land. But I implore you do not past
children in dark closets as a punish -
meet. —Boston
