Tho Most Careliil l'feoitutlons Hliould bo Made in Uvdrt Community Nearly all the newspapers in tlieMis sissippi valley are advising the people of that section to take every possible by^ pre¬ caution against cholera. Step step the cholera is creeping through South America, gathering force as it marches. Beginning in Buenos Ayres, by the latter part of December it had crossed the Ar¬ gentine Republic and gained foothold in Chili. In March it was ravaging the state of Panama. Should the plague reach the isthmus and Mexico, there will be small hope of this section escaping,and the floodgates of New Orleans once passed, the Mississippi valley, and, in¬ deed, the whole country, may be inun¬ dated with the disease before there is time to realize the danger.

The executive board of the body lias tried to belonged keep the matter faction quiet.

Rev. to the W. Episcopal 0. Pearson preached COifiidil a ser- in lhbn diocesan Omaha, and said that attempts had been made, in the nartie of the Catholicity, to foist upon the church doctrine of Christ hiriiself tiptffi the ttltar in the broad Hliti wine. By those Whb fail to see that if it were really true that Christ’s body and blood were upon the altar, the wor¬ ship of them would be a blasphemous denial of the incarnation and an idolatry more awful than any that could be con¬ ceived. Rev. J. Williams, of St. Barna¬ bas Church, Omaha, withdrew, saying the speaker had insulted members of the congregation by branding as idolatrous points of a belief held by them as the most sacred features of religious life. BELIEVE IN TIIK LAW, The East Tennessee Farmers’ Associa¬ tion, composed of the leading farmers of the state, at their annual convention in Knoxville, adopted resolutions, by an al¬ most unanimous vote, indorsing the In¬ ter-State commerce law, and expressing the belief that it will result in relief to the agricultural classes.

When Mr. O’Brien arrived at Kings¬ ton, crowds of people greeted him as lie stepped out of the car at the station. The party was driven to the Barnett I ouse, where a crowd had collected, ■ubicti heartily cheered. A battery of the Dominion regular artillery corps was held in readiness, fully armed and equip¬ ped, at the barracks. The Fourteenth (Prince massed of the Wales’s drill Own) Rifles were at shed on Union street. Besides this a large number of special constables were sworn in to aid the ordi¬ nary police force. On arriving at the skating rink, O'Brien -where the meeting was held, crowds—all sympathizers—were found gathered around the building and alongside the walk. Not an opposing voice was heard; not a suspicious or rowdy-looking person was seen lurking in any quarter. After the meeting had con¬ cluded, broken stones and cobble stones then began flying like hail, women screamed and general confusion reigned. Brien “Ah, they’re at it again,” said Mr. O’¬ in a tone of mournful regret more than of anger. “Yes, yes,” roared the mob “there he is! Drag him out here on the street; kill him! choke him! tear him asunder,” and then almost burst through Mr. O'Brien’s body guard, which consisted of American special correspond ents and local officials of the National League. As the party doubled into Wellington street, another shower ot bricks and broken stones came crashing through the crowd. The Canadian Freeman, an Irisli Catholic organ, on Brook street, was wrecked. Two hours had now elapsed since the first attack was made, and But no jj od y ^ new where Mr. O'Brien was. ; le wag at l 1LS t discovered at the house of p eter Devlin.

J., valued at $75,000, were burned recently. Investigation shows that some of the - worthless savages who are supported by the Government in the West, hire white men to do their labor, and are daily seen coming to the agencies in their gaudy blankets to purchase supplies. For their own consumption they select the most delicate viands, and will take nothing else; but for their white laborers they buy cheaper and coarser goods. Mr. O’Brien, the Irish editor, arrived at Niagara Falls, and was met by two hundred friends, who carried him to a carriage, and then escorted him to the International Hotel.
