Telegraph & Messenger. Fl’.IDAT MORNING, JUNE 27, 1873. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
