The mastery of the „I.eue in Genoa l« really the first fine medical feature of the whole elcge. Irn- -ri.t.lv after the pest broke out with rim ence in that city, J fortnight ago, the luthoritiei had tlie water supply analyzed Sd discovered that of the three sources of “„„ly that of the Nicolai Company was Tue municipal works’ supply was bad. and that of the GerzenU Com- PJJJJr W a» pure. Immense and cost- tr efforts were promptly made to Ltofl the first two source, and to turn the latter water into all the pipes. An lm- mediate improvement was noticed, and the mortality declined after eight day., In- Seadof advancing for weeks as has usnally wn the case. There ia a cordon around i^StMzia Still, in spite of the universal nmtest Itis a droll fact that Admiral Si, who Is under orders to cammand Ih* Amerigo Vespucci, bound for America, *d Admire!

The mortality in Naples among the better classes has been more than It has hem at any other visitation of receut tinU. It includes eleven priests, a score of mins and as many doctors. The tempo- r.rv orphan asylum at Naples Is crowded irith children, and hundreds of others are Jrivatolv cared for, Lady Otway having eleven In a srnaT orphanage of her own. According to the oln dal and municipal tores there have been 9.512 deaths in It- no to date, but people who ought to Enow rav that In the terrible month of Beotember fully 1,200 died at Naples alone. Vmi a Roman paper estimates the total deaths up to Wednesday at 10,800. Out of silly provinces on the Italian mainland forty-four have been infected, but only thirteen have had more than thirty deaths and only eight have had more than 100 ^•France the peat is still declining weekly, and there seems to be no reason to fear that the Isolated deaths in the depart ments ol Correze and Lot mean a danger ous spread. There bat been a tad decline In Dr. Koch stock during the week, since the Marseilles commission doctors made an elaborate report of many experiment! with microbes, all of which were failures, and since Dr Klein, a Bombay official and an eipert. baa shown contempt for the microbe theory by swallowing a quantity of bacilli without harmful result. The Marseilles commission found it could mathematically trace, cholera patient's condition by an hourly examination of the blood, the healthy globules remaining sta tionary, and the unhealthy ones flowing be tween columns formed by others and taking them gradually ofTnntil the column is ruptured. The commission afllrms that cholera is not contagions, that there la no phlebocardltli, as claimed by Margagni, and It ciatmi that, while we know better than our predecessors what the chol era is not. we do not know what it Is. In the l’arls hospitals, where Dr' Koch’s theory has been gen •rally condemned, valuable experiments have lately been made with sulphide of carbon as an antiseptic and revulsive agent, and it will be tried promptly in Ge noa. Dr. Kocb has just declined a call to Lflpslc University. It is reported that n chair of hygiene trio be endowed in the University of Berlin for him. Business in Italy it in a terrible condition. Large failures are announced at Turin and else where. To day bands began playing in public placet in Naples, and the theatres of the town will be reopened to-night. The Procession of the Icebergs.

In the midst of the engagement, when the air was lurid with screaming shot and bursting shell, the admiral on board the American flag abin Invincible, heard a crash on the port bow and felt at the same time a slight shock. He called to the quartermaster: “Was that the British ram that struck us?’’ The quartermaster saluted: "No sir,” he said.

Washington Star, Some Democrats are estimating a Re publican majority in Ohio, at tbe com’ng election, ol about G.000. Others think it will reach 10,000, but no Democrats now look with any hope for the success of their party in the Buckeye State. The Repub licans are talking of 10 009 majority, but they hope for a good deal more. They ad mit that any figures below 10,000 will not boom the party in other States. But 25,- 000 or >0,000 would help greatly In New York, Indiana, Wisconsin, Micnlgan and Illinois. Che liquor interest is arrayed against one or two Republican candidates but the party leaders do not believe they will lose any votes by that They hold that the enmity of the liquor men will strengthen the ticket in tbe rare! districts and with tbe prohibitionists, and that as many votes will be gained from these sources as are lost by the antagonism of distillers, brewers and saloon keepers. VIALS OF WRATH. How Brother Johnson Smote Brother Bacon and Paid Dear for It. N.Y. Herald. There was warfare In the Brooklyn Memorial Baptist Chnrch (colored) last Sunday, and brothers Roberts and John son, with a large and piebald constituency, came to tell Justice Walsh about it ycarer- day. Several of tbe brothers and Bisters claimed the Hoor, but Brother Johnson got the call and spoke to this hurpose: ’ Yo"Onah, lie no chile ob wrath. On'y white chokah collah and a black suit, my angry pass Ions am aroused an’ I objecs to de profanation.” It was here insinuated that Brother Johnson was waxing personal and nnpar lianientary.

It; Kate Hammond, 15; Mollis Sairaaky, 10, am 1 , Gcrthe Novock 14. were arrested on tbe complaint of Bern Yuen ting, tbe keeper of a Chinese laundry at No. 151 North Clark street. The girls all live with their parents, and pretended each day aa they left home that they were going out to work In different establishments. They arc poorly dressed, and show a profligacy which Is seldom seen in children of their ages. The girls had organized themselves into a regular band known as “The Chinese Fire" for pillaging tbe Chinese laundries. Maggie Doyle was elected captain, end planned all tbe work. Three weeks ego the police arrested the girls end they were fined $100 each, but their fines were eua- pended on condition of good behavior. This bad no effect on them and they pro cured chloroform and visited a number of laund ries. three of them going into tlie Lack rooms with tlie employes, while the others chloroformed and r- bbed the proprietors. They scented $10.60 from Ham Yoiren King In tills way. In court one of the girls ad mitted that they had been visiting China men, and that a doctor named Reynolds, with whom they had been intimate, gave them chloroform. A number of Chinamen have been arrested, Ihd about 25 more ere •aid to be implicated.

They've lost all interest to me. They’ve got to be wearisome and monotonous; but the chil dren are fond of them, just like you and I used to be when we were children, and my little boy wanted to go, and I didn't have tbe heart to disappoint him." . “But I didn’t see any little boy with you ?"

San Francisco Chronicle. I think I have several times alluded to the very curious kind of thing woman Is. I came across a French play which illus trates one phase of tbe female nature most amusingly. A young man has run away to escape a woman be has been flirting with. He is making love to a fresh Dune, when the deserted one hunts him up. After a few bitter reproaches she saya; "Henry, darllngl, love you. You know it 1 nava never hidden It front you. Per haps yon have not returned it. Bat mine is not selfish love. Tell me that you love another and I will toy no mote. Tell me (rankly you do not love me, and I will leave yon without a murmur." COLONIZINC LIBERIA. What Is Being Done Towa?d Building Up the African Republics Woabiugton Post. Mr. William Coppinger, consul-general for Liberia and secretary of tbe Coloniza tion Society, leaves here in a dey or two for New York to superintend tbe work of •ending to Liberia the regular semi-annual colony of colored people. Every spring and every fall this society, formed over sixty years ago, tends a small ship-load of black men and women to tbelr native land Africa. "There la great unrest among lhe colored people of tbe country," said Mr. Coppinger, as be sat In tbe rooms of tbe sncieiy In this city. Above bis bead, as be sat, hung the portraliol Henry Clay, one of the founders of the society. In the room ad olning were a number of portraits of tbe early supporters of the association, among them tbe father of Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore, painted by himself at the age of 82 In the cabinets with which tbe room was liaed were asm plea of coffee and cotton and other arti cles of a similar nature, productions of the colonists in Liberia. On a mantel just beside him stood photographs of the Legislature and Supreme Court of Liberia. all their mem bers black. The portrait of the present president showed tbe face of an apparent ly bright and intelligent black man. “He la a native of Liberia,” said Mr. Copptn ger, "born tbere of parents who were slaves in this county: be Is a man ol ability and a successful president. This ia Rev. Dr. Blyden,” he said, pointing to the photograph of a full-blooded negro. “He 1> the president of our college there, you know, a man of thorough euucuiiuli and ability.” “You bave some educational facilities jn Liberia, then?” “Oh, yes, very good ones. There are public schools, and by tbe laws of the re publio all children of a certain age are required to attend school a given time in each year. Education ia compulsory. Toen there are higher grades of schools, and.the college, which cost $20 0 0, and is well equipped and well patronized. The people who go there appreciate very thor oughly the value of e ucation. In fact, we do not take any now who are not ot this class. Tup number ot applications is great that we have opportunity to select our people pretty carefully." “Are your applications for opportunity | go to Liberia numeroas then ?'' ‘Numerous?’ be said with a smile, glancing at a pile of papers before him “I should say they were. They come not by hundreds but by thousands and tens of thousands. Tbe desire for removal to a new country where men and women of CO or may be on an eqnalltv in every sense with the other men and women of that country seems to be on the increase. We get thousands of applications from ever; direct.on, and thousands more than we can meet with the limited means at the disposal of the society, which, of coarse, is maintained by contributiois. Y’es. tbe applications are very numerous. I be lieve thit if we bed t rips and meant to supply passage and means to help all ap plicants to get a start there, as we do with those whom we do send, tbere would be a ball million of the colored people of this country ready to go at once." "How many are you sending now ?’,’ "That depends altogetbcr on onr means. This fatl we shall send between thirty and forty, I think.” "How many have you sent in all since the society was formed?” “About 10,0 0 who were residents cf this country. Then there are about 5.000 more, natives of Africa, who were captured on board of vessels which were bringing them to tbis country t> sell them as slaves. They were as a rale sent to Liberia. So tbere have been over 20,000 peasons landed tbere to make homes In that country since onr society began the work sixty-three years ego." “And have those who have mads the experiment been satisfied with the re sult?” “Y'es, the very large proportion of those who have gone tbere have been contented from tbe start. We bave been careful, es- p»cia ly In later years, to only take men after they thoroughly understand all tbs hardships that they would bave to undergo In emigrating to a new country, and one of a hotter climate, and tbe result ia that we have them sati-fied, and giving aatls faction also to the managers of the enter prise." "How does the change In climate seem to effect tbeir health and constitutions?" "Not unfavorably. They are, as a role, very healthy, and the percentage ot mor tality very small " "And wbat are the relations Of those who go there to the natives, by whom they . . . . . must be surrounded?"

It cannot point to any utterance of the Star wbleb will justify such a statement. Mr. McLean and his faction at the Chicago convention and on many subsequent occa sions have claimed that they will carry Ohio for Cleveland, but that they could not do ao for Thurman or Bayard. We have simply pointed out the necessity of inlfillingthla pledge In order to assure victory to the Democratic ticket. The Star does not believe in holding out false hopes to its readers or deceiving them. With Thurman, Hendricks, Bay- ardor Randall at the bead of onr 1’reai ■lentlal ticket, we could have afforded to let Ohio go by tbe board and still have been assured o( success. Bet If Ur. Cleve land ia slated to secure an almost aolid German vote as well as a tremendous de fection from the Republican ranks, we ought to have proof of It In Ohio a week If the Buckeye State la carried by the Democrats tbis month, there ought to be little doubt of the election ot Cleveland and Hendricks.

CoanwALL, October 2. —A lew day Mr. John Mitchell, tbe owner of Me brook farm, was compelled to kill ble Urge Holstein bull Iroqnois. for which be had only recently refused several tbousmi dollars. The bull suddenly become ng while bis keeper was leading him to ware, • riil Izittml llialattaf nnin Inn air whsea lie I self acting as pall bearers, and placed on a table arranged for its reception In tbe preparation room. Every one then with- drew crcciit tbe undertaker and the body servant. The coffin was then opened, the body token oat. disrobed and placed In a sheet saturated with a preparation of alum, Intended to prevent the singe ing or scorching of the body aa It was placed In the oven. The body was then placed on wbat is called an Iron crib, that is. an ironframe, wltb small bars about four Inches apart running along its entire length, which ii about seven feet bigh, and It stands on feet about six Inches high. The oven door was opened, the crib with the body in it was run In, tbe door closed, and the process of iocineration at once began. The Demoyne Crematory, which Is of rather a primitive cbsracter, costing, fur tbe building, retort, furnace and everything complete, $1,200, requires twenty-four hours beating before it is in a condition for tbt incineration to properly begin; Ibis, In Gross’s case, had been at tended to before our arrival, consequently there was no delay. Tbe Incineration began aa soon as tbe door ot tbe oven closed. About two hours and a half after the body btd been placed In the oven Mr. Dyer, tbe superintendent, intorraed us that the incineration was complete. We looked through a small hole, placed in the door of the oven for the purpose of enabling tbe superintendent to watcb tbe progress of the reduction to ashes, and found his report to be correct. Tbere was not a vestige of the body to be seen. Mr. Dyer then informed us tbat It would require twelve hours for tbe furnace to become sufficiently cool to permit the removal of the crib and the gathering of the a*bes. We were present, either .rt tbs building or in the grounds surrounding it, duriug tbe entire time oc cupied by_the Incineration, and there was not the least unpleasant odor or anything calculated to shock in tlie slightest degree tbe tenderest sensibilities cf the most re fined human being. On tbe contrary, ev erything passed off in such a way tbat death and burial seemed to be robbed of more than bait of their horrors. We left for Washington about 3 o’clock in the af ternoon, after seeing tbe crematory locked and giving instructions to the superintend ent to permit no one to enter until our re turn the next (Friday) morning at 10 oclnek “We returned at the appointed time and found the furnace sufficiently cool. The crib was removed and then the ashes, which had fallen through It to the bottom (which is made of fire*bricka) of the oven, a distance of about six feet were carefully gathered, placed in tbe metal receiver, which was then covered and carefully and tirmly soldered. The ashes, which in fact were nothing but carbonate of lime, were of course as clean and nice as pebbles freshly gathered from the seaside, all im purity and everything calculated to make a<Jt'*d body horrible and disgusting hav ing been resolved i ito their original ele ments. Dr. Gross was a man six feet two inches in height and well proportioned, consequently his ashes weighed about seven pounds, the average weight being five pounds.
