CHOwIIRA IE IY B AD IN CHILI. The Deadliest Type of the Disease j. aging in that Republic. flora the Xeui York Sun. Panama, Dec. 11.—The Chilian papers all unite in declaring that the characteris tics of the cholera which has been raging in t hat republic are of the deadliest type known to science. On Nov. 22 sixty-thne cases of ceolera were repoined in Santiago, and seven “suspected” cases in Valparaiso. The Peruvian government determined to quarantine all vessels coming from the South. Dr. Matto, a Lima physician of repute, has been sent by the government to Chili, from whence he will communicate daily with the Peruvian authorities regard ing the spread of ch lera and the measures taken there to arrest it. The last reports from Santiago are alarming, there being up ward of 100 patients in the hospital and the death rate being very considerable. Several fatal cases of cholera at Valpa riso being reported to the Lima authorities on Nov. 20, a decree was at once issued or dering the closure of all Peruvian ports to vessels arriving from Chilian ports until such time ns the lazaretto at San Lorenzo, in Callao Bay, be made ready to receive pa tients, and all the facilities required by science to combat the dread and disease be at hand. This ordinance although rudely liearing on the commercial and financial in terests of the people, and the State, is ap plauded, and will be strictly observed. An exception is made in the case of vessels com ing to the port of Peru that have only tone ed at Puutd Arenas, in the Straits of Magellan. A large lazaretto is being hurriedly built, and when c mpleted all passengei-s arriving from the South wili be rigidly quarantined before they will be allowed to cross to the mainland. Serious fears are expressed in Lima as to what will lie the result of this quarantine on the provision market. The price of flour, whuat being almost ex clusively imported from Chili, and of meat, owing to the suspension of traffic, have risen, and the prospects of a further ad vance are ominous. What is principally feared is the exclusion from Ecuadorian ports and from Punama of all vessels pro ceetling from t e south coast, which would leave Peru practically isolated from the world. The man that couldn’t tell the difference between a mule's ears and a lemon can plainly see the advantages of buying his Bh<. at Rosenheim’s, after examining their goods and learning their prices. i GAY WASHINGTON. Its Lively Streets, Handsome Equi pages and i_ovely Girls. From the .Veto York Herald. Washington, Dec. 24.— 50 thronged is Pennsylvania avenue, so well dressed oinl gay are the people, so brilliant are the equipages that one might fancy Washing ton is eu fete. The climate of Washington for nine mouths in the year is delicious, and for the other three it is us bearable as t; at of New York, Ho-tou or St. Louis. No capital of Europe can boast of so mauy pleasant days in the year as Washington. Washington is not commercially busy. The people live and move and have their being in leisure. Here there 1- a charming spirit of repose. Only when the “season is on” are people hurried, and then only in a social way. The thousands who promenade “the ave nue” do so as though aimlessly, for. oddly enough, there is but little shopping done during the afternoon. The shop windows are showing much skill and ta.de in their decorations, and learned Judges, distin guished Senators, notable Representatives and lovely women stop and look and ad mire. In the season Washington is the best dressed city in America. And in ihis mat ter of dress what a change has been wrought in tbe past score of years! There was a time when the Southern Congressman was the leader of the fashion. He affected nonchalance, the wide expanse of shirt bosom, the broad, rolling collar, the wide bri med soft felt hat. lis clothes were of broadcloth, and he wore on pretty nearly all occasions, the frock coat, whose inside ]>ookets were used as pigeon holes for all manner of papers nnd documents. In those bygone days the ladies dressed in splendor—although not in taste—and shop ped attired as though making formal calls. All that is changed. It has been said by foreigners that now American ladies are the best dressed and American gentlemen thfe worst dressed of any people in the world. By comparison this is true. In England, France and Italy it is said that gentlemen spend as much for their clothes as do the ladies. Perhaps this is not wholly true in England, but certainly up to within a very few- years American gentlemen did not "spend upon dress one third the money Englishmen in the same section of society and of the same income would spend. Here are two facts which it is deli -htful to note. The first fact is that Paris still sets the fashion for women, and the second is that London now sets the fashion for men. The French women of all classes are the best dressed, and the English men of all classes are the best and most suitably dressed. But Americans are catchi g up. Pennsylvania avenue is full of well dressed men and women. The ladies show good tastes in wearing simple and suitable gowns on the street, and the gentlemen are verv generally adopting the English morning cutaway coat and trousers in some material of rather light color. ON THE AVENUE. President Cleveland does not walk on the avenue. In this respect he breaks the con tinuity of Presidential habits. From Wash ington to Arthur, all tbe Presidents have shown tbeiuseves on foot in the streets of the capital city. The custom of their pres ence in I he public thoroughfares greatly les sened idle curiosity corcemiug them and made them much more a part of the com mon life of Washington. Mr. Lincoln, and notably Gen. Grant were frequently among the promenaders upon the aveuue. There is no street in the world where so mauy well-known men may be seen during an hour’s walk on a bright afternoon as here. And where on earth ran one see so many iovely girls and handsome matrons as right here? English women, except in the very high est walks of life, are not beautiful—tar from it. They are not graceful in figure or car riage; they are large-boned and of irregular and not comely features. The French women are gracious in manne.ts and are very engaging in their ways, but their com plexions are sallow and their expression is artificial and not assuring to one seeking sincerity and tidelitp. Roman women—in deed, one might say Italian women—are beautiful in c implexxon -which is in color brickdust and olive —and in luminous and brilliant eyes, but they aro wanting in all expression of intelligence. No, there are not on earth such lovely women as ours. MEN OF NOTE. Gen. Sheridan has moved among the throng and has bad his full share of observa tion and attention. He is socially, perhaps, the most popular man in Washington. PI very body likes Sheridan. He is honest, frank and good hearted, in the right and best sense of that phrase. He is free from all airs and affcctal ions. ’He is as modest as Grant was. Bheridan on the street, of course, dresses as a civilian, and he dresses well. His short, stout figure is not well suited to exhibit to the fqii tbe best results of the tailor’s art, but his tailor has made the most of his subject, and Sheridan posi tively looks well in his s lapely light top coat and nis dark striped trousers. Allison has really grown portly. His summer’.- vacation and the hot weather have robbed him of flesh. He has apparently “laid on” a stone since last winter, 110 walks with great, dignity and his step is slow and measured. His hat is just out of the hatter’s bandbox, and he is dressed from head to foot in tbe best material and in the latest fashion. He is looking in the best of form and says he is ready for the fray. Senator Sherman is as" tali, as straight, as Sinister and as cold as aforetime. A friend who has been a neighbor of Sherman for many years, and who has 1 eeu on intimate terms with him, said that he never heard Sherman laugh and has seldom seen him smile. He is now growing old. His hair and full beard are perfectly wh te. He dres-es in regulation style, barring the fact that his overcoat, of rather fight material, is unduly long. He stops often to speak with acquaintances. THE PRESIDENT’S TURNOUT. Mrs. Cleveland was driving the other afternoon, accompanied by three young lady frieuds, who are at present her happy guesls. Her carriage is somewhat shabby and it did not have the appearance of being well cared for. The horses are far from “high step ping,” and the coachman, no doubt, has occult merits, arid these must atone for the lack of all obvious ones He was in ill-fit ting and ill-becoming livery, and carried and used his whip as though this were his first experience on the box. There was no footman. Where one goes so far as to put a coachman in conspicuous light colored livery it stops short of “just the. thing - ’of being coniine il faut to do without the truly necessary attendance of a footman. It wus rather awkward when Mrs. Cleveland essayed the duty of assisting her lady frieuds from the carriage. Tbe President’s equipage is among the least imposing on the street. There are some which were en evidence. Among them are those of the British and Russian Ministers. One of these is really gorgeous. In watching as many as half a dozen car riages pass with splendid houses, richly dec orated Harness and with pompous coachmen and self-complaisant footmen, one is quite reminded of Hyde Park, London, and he feels that Republican simplicity is fast giv ing away under the tons of new wealth which are coming to Washington more and more every year. Washington is a lovely city. It is the only one in America where driving over all its roadways is a pleasure, and where one can meet so many notables and interesting oeople. ‘‘How Can She Ever Love Him?” Is what you often hear said when the pro spective groom is the victim of catarrh. “How can she bear such a i reath?” “How resolve to link her destiny with that of one with a disease, that unless arreste i, will eud in consumption, or perhaps in insanity P Let the husband that is, or is to be, get Dr. Sage’.- Catarrh Remedy, and cure niwself before it is too late.

What Turned the Unionist Sentiment in the Old Dominion In)o One of Se cession—John Brown’s Dav. From the Philculelohia Times The incident here recorded occurred in tho eai ly spring of 18(11, only a few days before the State of Virginia passed the ordinance of secession. As soon as the sentence of death had been pronounced on John Brown the Governor of Virginia ordered the militia of the State, to the number of about 1,400 men, to report at Charlestown, then iu Vir ginia. This measui'e was dictated by rumors of an intended attempt to interrupt, by an armed attack, the progress of the execution. Among the military organizations ordered out were the cadets of the Military Institute at Lexington. They Jett the institute under the immediate command of Col. Smith, the Superintendent, the section of artillery which they took with them being under the charge of Maj. Jack-011, who was then pro fessor Oi physical .-deuce at the institute. After tbe execution had taken place thero was a universal sense of uneasiness through out tbe State, and nowhere more so th uat Lexington. The arsenal near that town, which had been maintained before the establishment of the institute and the old guard of which had been substituted by tho cadets, contained about 7)0,000 stand of arms, while the adjacent magazine held 500 barrels of powder. Rumors were rife that an attempt would lie made to seize the arsenal and magazine by the sympathizers of the John Brown raid, and Gov. Wise directed that redoubled vigilance should be exercised in guarding the public properly. Sentinels were doubled and scoured the neighboring country. The excitement of the young so.diei' guard was aggravated by the discovery of more than one anony mous warning that the magazine would be attacked at such a day and hour. These alarms and the precautions to which they gave rise necessitated the issue to tbe cadets of a full supply of bail-cartridges, and they were directed to be p.epared at the tiist tap of the drum to assemble with their arms. TUE PECULIARITIES OF MAJ. JACKSON. Maj. Jackson was as indifferent a teacher as one would easily fiud. He had won for himself a reputation in the Mexican war. A thorough soldier, conscientious, pains taking, entirely wanting in adaptability and savoir faire, be had as little iu common with the scholarly academician asGustavus Adolphus w ith Erasmus. The light blue eye winch could b!azo with the intensest flame in battle, exhibited none of tho kind ling which belongs to tbe teacher who loves his vocation. He was awkward, peculiar, bizarre. Ho would march up and down in front of the Superintendent s office 111 the rain, rather than enter before the appointed time. He would endeavor to administer his department on principles applicable to a garrison of regulars, and make is-ues in wuich it was impossible that he should he sustained. A dyspeptic, at times a hypo chondriac, he was a typical proof and example of the kinship between genius and mental disorder. His idiosyncrasies made him the marked figure—t at he afterwards became—this is almost a truism; yet those same idiosyncra sies slightly exaggerated might have brought .dm before a commissioned lunacy. General Ehve 1 was not alone in nis opi ion when he categorically pronounced hint mad. While thus di qualified from ever becom ing more than an indifferent teacher, Maj. Jackson held his own place in the respect of the cadets. A sub-episode of the time of ex citement of which we are writing will es tablish this. One night when the reports of a threatened attempt had been more than usually exact, the young soldiers became correspondingly excited. Maj. Giibam, the comnmndeut of cadets, and a gafinut West Pointer, was in the barracks but they had resolved that they would ue more comfortable if Maj. Ja kson were on duty. They had no respect for his seholar hip, but he was tue hero of Contreras and Chepultepec. and it is a part—a gifte 1 writer has said that it is the greatest- part— of the giit the hero leaves his race that he has been a hero. Bent for. he came down in full uniform and sword, and taking his seat in tue guard room remained there till morning. A poet would need no richer field for liis fancy than this scene—the waking veteran, throbbing with unrecog nized and pent-up powers, keepiu guard over his younger brothers, sleeping before the storm. The sentiment of Rockbridge county, as of the greater part, of the valley of Virginia at this time, was intensely and tenaciously in favor of the presTvation of tin- Union. At the recent election the Union delegates had lieeu elected by 2,<XK) majority in tho county. On the other hand, the youth as sembled in both of the schools situated in Lexington—Washington College and the Military Institute—were secessionists in theory almost to a matt. This was a condi tion of things easily to be understood. Youth has gathered no experience to serve as a foundat ion for caution. With such a division of sentiment iu the community alt the conditions were present for an outnreuk between the Union residents of the neigh borhood and the hot-headed nil tiinendum boys in the schools. The occasion soon pre sented itself. THE TWO PARTISAN POLES. The two political parties in Lexington ap pointed a day when '.here wns to be public -flaking, and when each side was to cele brate its principles by the erection of a flag pole. 'ihe Secessionists, comparatively few in numbers, lilted a pole of moderate size. The more numerous unionistshacl provided a tall pole, spliced in several places, which they failed in raising, and which was left on the ground for a second effort. That night the mischievous minds of the cadets concocted a scheme to play a severe practical joke on their political rivals. A number of them ran the. blockade of senti ne.s and officers, and boring the union pole with augurs, endeavored to blow it up. Failing iu t his, by reason of wet powder, they left the weakened mainmast, and dragged the topmast away with them. The trail In the mud directed the citizens in the morning toward the pei-petrators of the deed. They sent a committee to tho Funer iutendent of the insti 11 e. with indubitable proofs of the responsibility of the euaeu-. t'ol. Smith assured them that proper repar ation should be made, and going to the bar racks, required the young men to provide another pole and deliver it to the citizens of tho town. Tho matter wus thus adjusted; but though the fuse had been discovered and extinguished, the charge had not been removed which threatened an explosion. The next Saturday afternoon one of two adets walking on the street in Lexington was iiißuited By a resident of the county. The boy was not a favorite with liis fellows, not iu any sense a controlling spirit among them, but the esprit du corps, wbicii had re corded as an unwritten law that tbe honor 01 the whole was in every part, was instant ly allauie. The companion of the assaulted youth hurried to tbe barracks and boat the loug roll It was shortly before th ■ hour of evening parade und the whole cor]s was in the barracks. In a moment the cadets rush and forth, each gun in hand and supplied with ball cartridges, flinging on his accoutre ments as ho ran. As they went leaping down the hill tiioy called to each other 10 assemble in front of the resideno of Gov. Letcher, which stood at the foot of the main street of the town. Col. Smith, the Super intendent, who was barely convalescent from a desperate illness, seeing the tumul tuous issue of the young meu from the bar racks, suspected the nature of the outbreak, and hurrying by a nearer way arrived at the | klint of assembly just as the flanks were formed. Fearless and determined, itosseased of an unbounded Influence with the cadets, he shouted out to them that whatever might bo tbe cause of the disturbance, he claimed the right to lead them. By Liis t-.tne the Mayor df the town had called out tho local company to repel the attack and prepara tions were rapidly making for a desjierate resistance. The habit of obedience among the cadets and the commanding tone of Col. Smith promptly prevailed over their excitement, and when he gave the order, “Right face!” to turn them toward the institute, every man obeyed except two, one of them a nephew of Geu. R. E. Lee. These two he quickly subdued, and inarched the bat talion to the barracks. The mastery was gained for the moment, but the tenure of authority upon tho minds of the excited young men was still frail. Marching the corps to the largest class room Col. Smith made to them a calm and earnest a .dress, enlarging on the designate nature of the evils uion which they had been about to run amt on the tolly ami crime of attacking the people of their ow n State when standing on tbe threshold of a civil war. As he was concluding Maj. Jackson enterod the room and took a chair upon t he rostrum. As soon as Col. Smith ceased speaking the cadets, apparently as much in a spirit of badinage us in earnest, call and out: “Jackson,” “Jackson,” "Old Jack.” He shook liis head. Col. Smith stopped and said: "1 have driven in the nail, but it needs clenching. Bpeak to them.” 1 flighted wit h the novel thought of hear ing "Old Jack” speak, the cadets doubled their calls. At length he rose slowly and awkwardly, and, iu his own pecul.ar and inimitable way, said: “STOXK WALL’S” SPEECH. “Young gentlemen, I am no speaker. I am a man of action. My principle is, when civil war begins draw the sword and throw away the s aiibatd.” No more characteristic spec h than this was ever uttered. Iu its terse, stern brevity, it was a fitting precursor of the famous re ply to Gen. Bee, spoken by the same lips on the field of Manassas: “Sir, we will give them the bayonet." In two days from the time of this inci dent the requisition of President Lincoln upon the Governor of Virginia for the quota of the Stale towards the seventy-five thous and men called for in his proclamation, re versed, as if by a decree of fate, the senti ment of tho Union counties of Virginia. The majority for the preservation of the Union swung in a mass to the advocacyof secession. A committee of the citizens of Lexington again waited on the Superin tendent, not this time to complain oi insults to their Union sentiments, but to ask the aid of tho cadets and of the cadet battery in tiring a salute to the flag of Virginia. He repded that inasmuch as the State had not yet seceded, he could not direct the cadets to perform the service asked; but that as many should have permission to participate in firing the salute as should volunteer to serve. It is needless to declare that the num ber of volunteers wos sufficient for the duty. James Henderson Smith. HAMS.
