As Iu* spoke the parson dolled his black coat and ministerial white tie anil the next instant he was giving a scientific threshing to . one of Montreal’s best known and richest sports.

IIaltimoim:, Aug. 1.—-The Sun this morning publishes replies to a recently »uldreused circular to the governors of the various states requesting their opin ions of the elections bill. 'The governor of Vermont says; ‘There'is no need of such legislation as the Lodge hill contemplates in the state of Vermont.” Governor Davis, of Rhode Island says: ‘I think the proposed aict, is an ex pression of the worst and most unwar rantable partisanship ever contemplated hy federal legislation within the histety of the union.” Governor Biggs, of Delaware, says: “I condemn it, as it is a measure un called for, atul not only unconstitutional but unwise and injudicious.” Governor Hill, of New York, replies by sending a copy of his recent speech at Indianapolis, which, he says, gives his sentiments. Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, says: ‘The bill is an envious stab at a pros pering Sriuth. There is no need in my state for legislation that is designed to foment strife, murder and riot.” Governor Fleming, of Florida, said: ’The passage of tlie bill would evidence hostility, toward tlie South, at which it is aimed, by the Northern republicans.” Governor Jackson, of Maryland, said: “It Is an unwise ami extremely par tisan measure, fraught with much evil to the country generally. It will have a blighting effect, if passed, upon the business interests of the South; will hauler and obstruct their development and revive, instead of allay, the un friendly relations between the North and South.

Eaoi.k l*ass, Texas, July 30.—For tenday8 past alarming rumors have been rife of an epidemic cf smallpox ra ging on the Mexican frontier. The most circumstantial of the rumors stat ed that half of the population ef Ciudad Porftrio Diaz, formerly I’iedrns Negras, was down with the disease, and the in fected area extendcp one hundred miles inward, not only along the line of the Mexican International Railroad, but to outlying cities; that all interchange of traffic between the Southern Pacific and Mexican International railroads would stop and the aiithurii.es seemed to he doing nothing to arrest the plague. The fact which is bad enough without exaggeration, is that smallpox undoubt edly exists in sufficient foree to excite apprehension in the city of Porftrio Duut, immeuiutely opposite Kagli Pass, on the bank of the Rio Grande 8a day last thirty-two cases were officially reported, six of which were critical and twenty-six convalescent. Dr. Evans, of this - itv, at the request of State Health Officer Eriehson, made an inves- l igatlon yesterday and reported twenty- throe cases in all, only one of whit h was anew ease.

The disease which is not common iu Mexican cities, is of a mild type, the percentage of deaths be ing very small. Tht re is not a single case in Eagle Pass, 1 SKIN-CURA OR CRAWFORD’S ECZEMA WASH.
