WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY JULY 19, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. CHOLERA. The breaking out of cholera in Europe, its rapid spread and uncontrollable ravages in Southern France, has caused great alarm in the infected districts and to people contiguous to them through the channels of commerce. Nothing yet has availed to check the advance of the cholera wave, and indeed so little has medical science developed the cause and the cure of the scourge, that the public is in comparative ignorance of this the most terrible of human plagues, and any light that may be thrown upon the subject is of great importance and interest. A paper has just been published by W. Ayer, M. D., of San Francisco, which from the professional eminence of its author, and its timely appearance, will doubtless be read with interest. He says that the topography of California and its climate and meteorological influences are calculated to fortify rather than predispose the system to cholera, and that fear does about as much toward increasing the mortality as the disease itself. He cites certain cases illustrating the effect of fear as follows: Four Russians had been condemned to death for political offenses, and during the prevalence of cholera they were placed under the care of eminent medical gentlemen for experiment, and were placed on beds whereon persons had died of epidemic cholera, but were not aware of their exposure, and neither of them had the disease. Sequently they were told they must sleep on beds which had been occupied by cholera patients; but in this case the beds were new and had never been used by any person; yet under the more potent action of the mind, three of the four took the disease to its most malignant form and died within four hours. Many other cases are familiar to the profession where fear has been the only cause of death. The moral influences, among which are cleanliness and courage, with a proper observance of diet, have far more to do with staying the ravages of cholera than everything besides. The theory that sewer gases have anything to do toward the spread of this disease is a myth, a delusion, to be pre- DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS. Cleveland was nominated not because of any particular merit in the man, but because of his assumed ability to carry New York. The New York Sun is the most influential and fearless Democratic paper in the United States. It opposed Cleveland's nomination because he could not carry New York, and it so stated in the most distinct and positive terms. Here are a couple of paragraphs from that paper which may serve to cool the enthusiasm of those ill-informed people who believe in Cleveland's popularity at home: As between James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland, 59,000 men in the State of New York, who call themselves Democrats, would not give the toe of a cent for first choice, or would vote for Blaine. But put up a thorough Democrat, and those 50,000 will work and vote for him to a man. Around Bayard or Ben Butler they would rally with enthusiasm. The Democratic managers should remember that Blaine will bid high for the votes of foreign born citizens. How well the Democrats could counteract Blaine's influence with that element by nominating Thomas Francis Bayard, in whose veins runs the blood of the Irishman, Sir Philip Francis, the Junina who so gloriously scourged George the Third and his minions! An intrepid and confident journal is the Evening Post of Louisville. "Cleveland," says the Evening Post, "can carry New York by 50,000 majority without the aid of either Kelly or Dana." We are not able to say whether Mr. Cleveland will have the aid of either Kelly or Dana if he should be nominated. Mr. Kelly has not yet told what he would do in the event of such a misfortune for the Democracy as the nomination of Mr. Cleveland; but we assure our Louisville contemporary that with the most energetic and zealous support of both these gentlemen named, Mr. Cleveland would find it very hard work indeed to carry the State of New York. Why, even Mr. McDonald of Indiana would be a stronger candidate here; and he is by no means the man whom the Democracy of New York would prefer. Mr. Cleveland may yet be nominated, for the machine seems to be set quite strongly in his favor; but it will be a graver calamity to the Democracy of this State than was the nomination of Horace Greeley in 1872. THE VOTE OF NEW YORK. At the Presidential election of 1880 the vote of New York was recorded as follows: The moral influences, among which are cleanliness and courage, with a proper observance of diet, have far more to do with staying the ravages of cholera than everything besides. The theory that sewer gases have anything to do toward the spread of this disease is a myth, a delusion, to be preserved among the fallacies of the profession, unworthy of a place in the higher medical literature. Yet in a general way, for the moral effects of cleanliness, I would say, "Keep the sewers well flushed," and above all be courageous. That the public may no longer be led into error and expense in repairing their waste and sewer pipes in the vain hope of keeping away disease and to gratify the whims and caprices of others, and with no wish to be aggressive or offensive and provoke an unprofitable controversy, I challenge the entire medical profession to refute my position and prove that sewer gases are the direct cause of any type of disease. This I present as a parenthesis in the wake of cholera to invite an analysis of the subject and overcome the fears of the poor and the timid. Concerning the spread of the disease and its appearance upon our continent, the learned doctor uses the following language: That cholera will again visit this coast is quite probable, but it is not likely to come here in ships from China, for it will always follow in the path of civilization from east to west, and the same countries and same districts will be visited as on former occasions, and in the lime and clay formations it will be most destructive, while in the granitic belts it will never be likely to prevail as an epidemic, for reasons I have explained in my work on etiology. What influence the seven colones and electric storms may have had to prevent or encourage its early appearance on the Western Continent no one can tell, but, unless some atmospheric influence shall change its course, cholera will be likely to make its appearance in Canada and New York in the early part of the summer of 1885, and in 1886 it will reach California, in its epidemic form, for the movement of the toxic and morbific wave is governed by physical laws that cannot be amended—the same as any epizotic, and this opinion is based upon the history of cholera from 1816 to the present time, and is not given in the line of conjecture or prophecy. The Los Angeles Herald administers a rebuke to the Democrats of Los Angeles for their political apathy. As the ratification process passed the office of that paper, an unlimited quantity of blue and red fire was belched forth, and yet, it complains, no response was evoked from the funeral procession. It mournfully says: "We would have been amply compensated by two or three cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks. Let us hope that, hereafter Democrats will voice their preference for their Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates in no uncertain cadence." The tenor of the telegraphic reports of the condition of the crops in the various counties in the State would indicate that while sequently they were told they must sleep on beds which had been occupied by cholera patients; but in this case the beds were new and had never been used by any person; yet under the more potent action of the mind, three of the Your took the disease in it most malignant form and died within four hours.

The tenor of the telegraphic reports of the condition of the crops in the various counties in the State would indicate that while the falling off of cereals is in some few counties very material, most of those thus affected are not largely devoted to grain-growing. In the great wheat fields of the San Joaquin valley the only difficulty seems to be an increase of trouble and consequent expense of harvesting. Rosecrans' opinion of Cleveland: "He is not the choice of the people; he represents the capitalists and not the laboring class." Beecher's opinion of Rosecrans: "I asked Stanton once, when he was Secretary of War, whether he did not think Rosecrans sometimes lost his head." "Sir," said he, "he has got no head to lose." Wnom the Gods would destroy they first make mad. C. P. Huntington has gone and married a New York widow. Can it be that the financial straits of the railroad corporations have made him reckless? Some of the Tammany delegation went away from Chicago wearing a bit of crape in their button-hole. An exchange remarked of a candidate for a certain State office, "He has a large following," and the opposition organ amplified the item by adding, "of creditors." Geologists are frightening nervous peopie again. They aver that if no new deposits are found, the coal beds of the earth will be exhausted in exactly 10,875 years. This is very startling, and should be a sufficient incentive to householders to lay in an immediate large supply of fuel. St. Louis, July 13.—The Westliche Post, Carl Schurz's paper, after bolting the nomination of Blaine and Logan, came out this morning with an announcement that it would support the Republican ticket. The cause of this action lies in the fact that the Westliche Post subscribers fell away in thousands and the paper was nearly wrecked. It said: "The strongest man has been nominated by the Democrat, and we retract nothing of the good words we have said concerning him; but the more we try to familiarize ourselves with the idea of a Democrat at the head of our national Administration, the less we are able to reconcile ourselves to it. The longer this was considered the more vivid became the reminiscences of the past, and to-day we do not find that we are justified in making any guarantee that a Democrat, be his name Grover Cleveland even, would present an uncompromising front, under all circumstances, to the menaces of the Southern brigadiers, from the Vice-Presidential candidate, who in the shape of the dyed-in-the wool old Bourbon, or Hendricks, has been placed at Cleveland's side. One can anticipate still less a firm resistance to Southern aggression should any chance, which the unforgetten past renders possible, require such a resistance. The Westliche Post opposed the old ticket four years ago simply on account of this man Hendricks. Now the name of Cleveland alone cannot accomplish and cannot make the Democratic declaration of principles appear any more agreeable to us. And now one word about the Republican ticket. We have criticised it thus far freely, but we admit now, with equal freedom, that we erred. We expected of the other party what the Republican party can best perform. Republicans can do no better than remain loyal to their ticket." BALTIMORE, Judging here is due terrible downfall the opium habit on account of ties.

The names are coucealed, on account of the high standing of the parties. The victim of the habit was in 1869 living on the eastern shore, and was the belle of the county. She married a wealthy gentleman of high position, with whom she lived happily, had three children born, and shortly after the wife's manner changed. An old, trusted servant finally discovered that she was a confirmed opium-eater. Every effort was made by her distracted husband to break the habit, but without success. Two years ago she disappeared, still young and pretty. Every effort was made to find her. Detectives were employed, but no trace of her could be found. Recently a policeman in this city observed, among the persons sent to the House of Correction, the missing woman, whom he had known. Upon her discharge he traced her to one of the vilest dens in the city, kept by a colored woman. The officer notified the husband a few days ago, and they went together to the place. The husband found his wife in the company of a coarse, brutal-looking negro. All traces of her former beauty had disappeared, and she was almost unrecognizable, even to her husband. In conversation she appeared to be wholly depraved, and did not manifest the slightest regret for what she had done. She was unmoved, except when an allusion was made to her children, when she betrayed some little emotion. Evidence for a divorce suit was obtained, and the woman left to her fate.

It was a pretty good thing, he thought, and it was only necessary to enlighten the public regarding its real merits and indisputable advantages over everything of the kind to cause a tremendous rush of customers eager to purchase; so he counselled with himself and soliloquised thusly: "That refrigerator must be brought before the people, and I am just the man to do it. Don't talk to me about your newspaper advertisements. I'll show you how to advertise without cost. You don't catch me paying a paper for advertising; not I; I'm too old for that, and I'll show folks a new idea." Then he laughed a satisfied laugh, and at once set about making a practical test of his new method of diffusing information. He mixed up a pot of black paint, procured several large sheets of cardboard, and after much experimenting and repeated attempts, finally succeeded in producing two signs that read as follows: "Fifty dollars to the man who can prove that any two things put into this ice chest will taste one of the other." He had a refrigerator run out to the curbstone, hung a sign over each side, and retired indoors to await the expected run of customers. People passed up and down the street, jostled each other in their hurry, glanced at the ice-box and its signs, and—went on. After some hours of disappointed hopes and expectations, this dealer saw a pedestrian halt, calmly peruse the wonderful announcements and rather hesitatingly advance to the door. "Do you mean it?" he inquired in an anxious tone, pointing over his shoulder to the signs. "Yes-sir-cee," emphatically responded the dealer. "Put your money up," insinuated the stranger. "No, sir," replied the dealer, in pompous style; "my word is as good as the cash." "All right; I'll take you," responded the stranger, as he departed. Some time after, he returned with a box under each arm. "Stick to your agreement!" he queried. "Of course I will," answered the dealer, wondering what in the name of Christopher Columbus the man had in view. The stranger set his boxes down on the sidewalk, and a crowd began to collect. He told the dealer that he was afraid that he (the dealer) would back out of the bargain, but the latter assented his readiness to put up the stamps if necessary. The stranger opened a box, lifted a cat out and placed her in the refrigerator; then he opened the other IN THE SUPERIOR COURT, In and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, Notice for Publication of Time for Proving Will, Etc.
