A lew ie« RUrlllnt Theory About
Cftolw.
From the New York Evening in** I
It It ono of the eetatdiahed foots of medical
aolenoo that epidemics are aggravated by panic.
Frightened to death at eoch timea is not anch a
figure of upeech, and almoat aa many people
become yirtiroa of fear aa disease. If there If
good reason to apprehend the approach of an
epidemic, again't which aunitary meaanroa are
any protection, ererjpossible preosntion abonld
of TOOreo Lo taken to ward it off; bnt to aronae
needless fear la a preparation for its spread, if
it should happen to come.
It ia not impossible that we may hare a visi
tation of Asiatic cholera this anmmer, bnt there
la no more reason for expecting it than there
was last year or the year before. So far, in-
Indeed, perhaps there la loss. There is no re
port of it aa an epidemic in Eastern Europe, aa
there has been at this season for two or three
years past; in Gential Europe wo hear only of
a few eases iU Vienna, where tho oanai isllox of
strangers ia almost sore to prodnoo an nnuanal
degree of sickness, aod In Western European
porta there are no sporadic cases yat reported,
as there have been during the anmmer months
for two of three years past. Even if there
were roaaon to apprehend its approach from
that direction, the watchfulness and care ex
ercised on evory ship that comes <nto our har
bor will, in all prob&bt’.ity, confine It to the hos
pitals in the lower bay.
Tbs chief danger, then, ia from the interior.
There lean epidemio of some sort in one or two
southwestern cities, on navigable rivers, but
then It much more reason to suppose it to be
an aggravated type of cholera morbus, due to
loeal causes, peibapa some unnsnat condition
of the river water, than the true Asiatic cholera.
Though there Is enongb in the approaoh of this
disease, whatever it ia, in that direction, to in
cite to every possible precaution, there is not
enoogh to ctoate alarm.
Wo base this statement, however, on the sup
position that Aaiatio cholera ia a transmissible
and not a spontaneous disease. The accepted
theory hitherto bee been that the disease, how
ever It mey have originated, came from the
densely populated and poverty-stricken East,
where it has never disappeared since flret it be
came known. Occasionally it breaks its bonds,
and ia carried by the highways of trade, or
transmitted from country to oonnlry by the pil
grimage of great orowda of people westward.
As ofien aa it appears, however, it la “stamped
out" by sanitary regulations and the removal of
those conditions which render ita existence pos
sible.
Bot Dr. Hammond, of this city, has, if we
may accept aa correct the report of a conversa
tion with him by a newspaper report, promul
gated an altogether new and startling theory.
The seeds of cholera, he says, exist always in
tho human excrements, and only need eertaln
conditions of heat and moisture to germinate
into au epidemio. Tho disease ia this moment
lying dormant ia our tenement houses and may
break ont on the smallest provocation, likely to
occur any day the long anmmer throngh. If
this be true, the world la indebted to Dr. Ham
mond for a now and moat Important discovery.
Hitherto the supposition has been that the filth,
the font air, the noxlons gases, and the low
sanitary oondilion which belongs to them,
afforded a rich and frnltfnl soil merely on which
the germs of oholera would plant Uumvelves
when introduced from abroad. Bat to f-nppoae
that these germs always were In exiatenco and
needed only oertain favorable conditions, which
may arise at any moment, for the spontaneous
development of an epidemio, ia altogether a
new faot in medical science—If it be a fact.
Botno of tho moat frigbtfol oholera epidemics
have been In cold weatbor, when at toast one,
If cot both of Dr. Hammond's conditions was
wanting, nnd the preaenoe of the dtseaso in
such cases has been attributed not to no; spon
taneous origin, bnt to ita introdnetlon from
abroad into places where tho absence of all
smttary preeantioos made it possible for it to
find a lodgment. Dr. Hammond's theory, then,
if oorroct, needs some farther elucidation. la
the disci sr everywhere posatble as spontaneous
under a oertain oondilion of heat, inasmuch aa
filth and foci air nro present everywhere and
always in crowded eitiea, while it may also be
an Infectious dtaoaae under a vary low tempera-
tore? And bow is U (o be explained that as an
epidemio it Is known to display itself under all
conditions of host and cold, whllo there is no
reoord, so far as wo know, of ita breaking ont
anjwbore In the Western world, oilht-r In
Europe or this country, exeept wnere its intro-
i!action was directly traccablo to Eiatorn
origin ?
If oholera—misnamed Aalalio, if Dr. Ham
mond's theory be oorrect—doea not exist at this
momont on this continent, and yet may break
ont at any lime, under given loeal conditions,
it wonid be Interesting to know all the grounds
of anch • belief. We are qnlte willing to aa
knowledge (bat aa far aa we are informed upon
the subject, this new Ibeoiy seems altogether
amenable and we do not therefore there in tho
least in the alarm which it is likely to aronio.
81111 wo are open to oonvlotlon, anil will be aa
frightened as anybody when wo are anro that a
few wot and hot daja may develop that cholera
that Is always larking in tenement houses, nnd
wbieh hitherto we have believod came to ns by
alow stages from Alia.
Sat 1-oven good's Shirt.
gat (old this Kory to the author, to aooonnt
for hla forlorn appearanoe :
Von know that I boards with B.ll Carr, at h;«
cabin on the mountain, and pays for sich aa I
get. when I b.v money, and when I bevn'l my,
why bo tftkofl on^ third oaten me in cnooin*; nnd
she, that's bis wife. Beta, take* ont 'tother two-
thirds with her batUin’-atiek, and the interest
with her iongne. the internet mor'n the princi
pal-heap more. Bbe’a the enmedest 'oman I
evor aeed any how for j aw—and pride. Bhe oen
scold a blister on to a boll's face rite on the
curl In two minits—and patterns after every
fashion ahe hears tell on, from bnssela to
britches. Obi abe’a one on ’em, rndsometimes
she's l.o or three. Well, yoo see, I got some
cotton track to make a shirt onten, and ooaxed
Bits to make it, and sbont the l‘me It was done,
here comes lawyer Johnson along and axed for
hreakfnss I with it had pizened him, darn hia
hide, and I wonder it didn't, for ahe oooka aw-
fnl mixina when ahe trial. Umpteen proof my
self (bolding np hie flask and peeping through
It) or I'd bin dead long ago.
••Well, while he were earin' she spied ont that
hie shirt was stiff and mighty aliek; eo ahe never
rested UU she worried it outer him that a prep
aration of flour did it; and ahe got a few par
tieniara about the proeeedins outer him by wo
men's arts. After he left, ahe set in, and biled
jot of paste—nigh on to a peck of it, and
I in my shirt and 1st it soak a while, then
ahe lock it, and ironed it ont flat and dry, and
sot it np on ita aidge again the cabin in the enn.
Thar It stood aa stiff as a dry hosa hide, and it
rattled like a sheet of iron, it did. It were
pasted together all over. When I came to din
ner, nothin' would do bat I mnst put it on.
We!!, Bets and me got tho thing open artex
some bard pullin' at one of the tads, and me nt
the 'tother, and I got into it. Darn the ever-
lastin’ new fangled shirt, I say. I felt like I’d
crawled into an old bee gum, and tit. fall of
anta; bnt it were like lawyer Johnson’s and I
stood lt^ike a man, and went to work to bnlld
Bota an ash hopper I wotked powerful hard,
and awe t like a boas, and when the shirt got
wet it qnlt its hnrtln'.
“Arter I got dan I took abont four fingers of
red-eye, and crawled np into tho cabin loft to
take a snooze.
“Well, when I waked np I thought I was
dead, or bad Ihe cbolery, for all the jolnat I
could move were my ankles, wrists and knees—
canid not even move my head, and sktsely wink
my eyea—the enssed shirt was pasted fsat onto
mu all over, from the end of the tails to the
p.nls of broad-axe collar over my ears. It sot
to mo rjt close as her hido doea to a poor cow In
March. I squirmed and strained till I sorter
got it broke at the shoulders and elbows, and
then I done the darndest foolishest thing ever
dene in these mountains. I eheiflid my britches
off acd tore loose from my hido abont two
inches of the tail all aronnd, in much pain and
tribulation. Oh.' bnt it did hart.' Then I tnck
np a plank inter the loft, and hnng my legs
down throngh (he hole, and nailed the aidge of
the front tail to the fljor before me, and the
hind tail I nailed to tho plank what I sot on. I
nnhnttoned the oollar and wristbands, raised
my hands away above my head, shot np my
eyes, said grace, and jumped throngh to the
ground floor.”
Hera Bnt remarked, sadly:
“George, I’m a darnder fool than ever dad
was, boss, hornets and aU. I'll drown myself
somo of these days, see if I don't,”
“Well, go on. Sat; did the shirt come off?'
“I—t-h-i-nk—it d id! I hearn a noise sorter
like (oarin' a sbingio roof eff ov a house all at
wonat, and felt like my bones wore all that
reached the floor. I staggered to my feet, and
took a look at my shirt. The nails bad all hilt
tber bolt, and Ibarit was banging, arms down,
inside ont, aa stiff as ever. It looked like the
map of Uexioo. just arter one of the first bat-
ties—a pateb of my hide, jnst abont the size of
a dollar and a half hill here; a hunch of my
her abont the aize of a bird's nest thar; then
some more akin; then some more paste; then
a little more bar; then a heap of skin; then
moro bar; then skin; and so cn all over that
darned new fangled, everlasting, infernal cuss-
flred shirt. It was a picture to look at, and so

A Boll Fight In Mt. Angnslluc.
In regard to tho trail fight which. Is to oome
off in St. Angnstine, the Freaa thus discourses:
“Each champion mnst register bis name,
weapons and costume, which Utter mnst be
approved by Ihe committee; for no one will be
allowed to enter the arena without being pro
perly and suitably attired and equipped. Each
one, before entering hia name on the regUter,
moat sign n bond, in tho penal sum of $100,
and proper seenrity, to fight or pay the forfeit
of $50. The prize for killing tho ball will be
handsome. If the first champion kills the trail.
• oertain forfeit, auffletent to cover the coat of
equipment, will be paid eaoh of the othor
champions. The prizes for maiming or van
quishing the ball will be proportionate. The
plaoc of ooateat is the natural amphitheatre,
bounded on the north by Uengman’s Creek,
and anrronndedon ail the other sides by the
sand hills. The arena will be enolosed by
a tall and strong fence of palisades. The
seats will snrronnd it, rising in three tiers,
Ihe hlgheat for the ladiea. Obamplona can
fight on foot or horseback. AU mnst be attired
In aniiabio armor representing that of the
knights and enquires of the middle ages of Ea-
rope; though it may be only tin or tinsel.
Those who fight on (oot mast wear a morion
and hanberk.nnleas a mounted knight dismounts
and fights on foot, when be can fight with as
complete a panoply aa if monnted. Before any
ohatupli-n enters the arena lie mnst appear or.
a stage, with ensign armorial blazonod on bla
shield, and hia adopted mire or title. Thus.
* Boland'—' Sir Kenneth of the Gonchant Ljo-

goes to do battle with the bnll, nnd whose honor
Eo will uphold, like a true knight, old., otc.
Finally, after registration, tho assumed name
of eaoh champion will bo exposed in all tho ho
tels, with his arms, ensign armorial, etc." AU

Tire Fiery Ex-Senator lYIgfnll Hoard
From•
At tho decoration of tho graves of the Con
federate dead at Baltimore, there were cries of:
Wigfall, WigfaU,” from a dozen or more per
sons, which brought ex-Senator Lewis T. Wig-
fail, formerly cf Texas, to the stand from
among the ondienoe, where ho bad been from
tho beginning of the proceedings. Wigfall
was looking to bo in good condition, scarcely a
bit ehaoged from the days of hia fiery career in
the United Sintca Senate, except in the gray
which now begins to whiten bis beard 'and
closely ent hair. He came np the steps of the
platform, hat in hand, and advanced to the
front, shook hta hout at tho andionoo, drank a
glass of water, and said ho was gratified 1 to find
there were some few who still remembered
him. He eonld scarcely express his feelings
on this solemn occasion. His heart was al
most too fnll for expression, bnt he said it was
consoling to know that if the canso is n “Lost
Ganae," the spirit that maintained it still exists.
[Applause ] It was pleasing to know that (hero
is something (hat men cared for in this country
besides material prosperity. It was hopefnl that
those who love troth still ding to its precepts,
and Gad grant,” ho said, “that the day may soon
come when we, (be children of (be rires who
fnngbt for the liberty of 1776, May realize that
blood-bonght birthright in the establishment of
the sacred principles of Belf-government.”—
[Applause. | He was not one of those who cry
“peace 1 peaoe! peace 1” when there is no peaco.
He was yet wearing manacles which were not
gilded, and which cat deep into tho fimb, and
bo was not. afraid or ashamed lo raiso bis voice
and cry ont “away with this false sentimental
ism,” which he believed In his heart of hearts
was doing mors to demoralize tho people of this
country than anvthing else. If we are still
rebels, trying to break np the best government
the son ever shone on, [laughter and applanse,]
throw down that stalne; break it into frag
ments, and foatter the dast of the dead and
their bones to the fonr winds of heaven, and
go home to sackoloth and ashes. The speaker
(hen, folly a roused by the old firo, proceeded
to analyze the causes of the war. briefly re
viewed Ur. Linooln's position, and reviewed the
old exelting topios of 1857-'60 to the evident
discomfort of the occupants of the stand and
others who came np from the audienoe, among
them several prominent politicians, who held
bntried and whispered consultations,ntd finally
Wigfall was choked off.

Some romantic storlea havo been told of per
sons who have been executed by the hangman's
noose, and thon brought to life, and Charles
Lamb onco wrote a wiiimsical essay* on the
ploascre8 and inconveniences of being hanged.
These imaginary cases are cqnaled by a real
one, which lately happened at Faria. We give
It as we find it:
A man had hanged himself in a garret in the
line Salnt-Jacqncs, and having been cat down
and examined by the medical men, was pro-
nonnoed to be dead. The clinical lecturer,
however, desired, to try ono last experiment,
and ho opened the chest and attempted artificial
respiration, bnt withont sneoess. He then
applied the poles to an electrioal battery to the
pnenmo gastrio nerves, acd passed a strong
current at inicr-rals of four seconds. Soon
after some signs of respiration appeared, azd
in five minntes the oardiao pulsation was per-
oeptlble. The epiglottis was tumefied, and the
tongne had to be drawn ont with pincers to
leave a passage for the air. A few cunoes of
biood were obtained from tho midic-eephtlio
vein, the dilated pupils contracted, the signs of
life becamo more and more manifest, a few
drops of alcohol were administered, some clight
mntcnlor contractions became visible withont
the aid of electricity, warmth relnrned to the
feet, the pulsation in the carotid arteries recom
mecced, acd the patient was saved.
A nxcxNT writer disposos of tho connection
between comets and meteorites. Toe .bowers
of “falling stara" he considers by no means the
scattered remains of some shattered fiery visi
tor ; and the idea entertained by many that, on
the night of the 13th of November, 1SG6, the
world plunged throngh the blazing particles of
comets, is pnt down as “more than problem-
Mical.” Tho conclusion is that comets exist
m - --ly in a gaseous condition; that the rapid
change j n form and shape, the violent emis
sions of^waiter, theoontraotion crexpansion of
the nnc.cua i n approaching or leaving the sun;
the entire lo»» ni j subsequent recovery of the
trailing tails. Urn-mauds or miles in length; the
twisting ami turning of these strange appen
dages in every direction^ or the formiticn of
several distinct tail* simultaneously, together
with the cloudy and cloarly gaseous, transparent
appearance cf the entire body, leave the im
pression of electrio phenomena, and the explo-
-lon of a huge electric battery, mher than
showers of material bodies.
Tnz Helena (Ark.) World says that “a re
spectable colored man, who is cow studying
taw with the hope of being admitted to the
Memphis bar, has prepared the following brief,
to be used in behalf of his first client: To the
gentlemen of the jury: After examining the
prisoner, J. F. Hoax, Esq., I find him not guil
ty of the obarge perpetrated against which he
now stands before your face, knowing that yoc

satisfied of the faot that yon do, and even the
appearance of Jim Hoax shows ignorance on
hia faoe of this dry goods larceny. Every one
of yon gentlemen wonid do well by watching
hia appearance, which shows that he knows as
much abont these goods aa a man in the sun
