I have visit ed every room in every cholera hospital exist ing In Marseilles and Toulon, and have soon tbe wretched people dying in hospitals audio their own hovels, and buried at midnight in the cemeteries, * by tbe light of torches aud lanterns. 1 bare diseased all the pharos of epidemic exhaustively with the hospital doc- tore, with priests, and with nurses, and my cotdmiou is that the much-dreaded cholera, probably tho most fatal and severo of all dis eases to which human flesh is heir, is a thing of which no intelligent community of wc!l-ordcrod lives and well-managed sewer pipes need haro an alarming tear, even when brought into close contact with it, to say nothing of getting ir to a panic at n distance. But those who read my story will draw their own conclu sions on this point. rnn??, imbis to anmm. On leaving Paris to begin my tour of tho Infected cities I found an absences of fear pro* vailing and few evidences of the former quar antine precautions which havo since been abandoned. The few persons to whom I con veyed my intentions of going to Mar seilles, ' Toulon and Arles dupracatod the visit, as t had expected they would do, but they ridiculed the idea of the di tense becoming epidemic In so clean a city ns Peril. 1 tcok the night train for Marseilles, and ???rose for breakfast nt A o'clock in the morain at Valence, some 60 miles south of Lyons, u watched the country carefully for signs anxiety or commotion, but saw nothing unu* ual until Arles was reached. Jloro ovory window of the fipanish-looking houses was doted so far as I could observo them, and in the streets of this town of 25,000 people not i roul was to be seen. At tho depot was con grrgated a melancholy crowd of pool the most of whom had bundles i. ing and various domestic articles tied up by means of bed clothes. They wore waiting for the omnibus train???a train belonging to tha third class and miscellaneous in its cWastor ???that should carry them northward to Tar,is con, whieh is in tho snmo department as Ar lea, and to Benucairo on the opposite hank of the Ithone from Tnrascon. During tho day and night there hod been thirteen deaths, and a fearful panic had prevailed in apito of the archbishop's formal procession to the rolics of tho saints in the cothedrul of St. Trophimus. either at his house or his office. Fortunately I had a note from a Paris physician to Dr. Queviel, tho president of the medical society, and a letter from Dr. (Juovicl finally availed to secure me admission. A young English physician named Paul Bus ran* not tbe least trouble in gaining an entrance. Ai gentle.

In a coiivorsa* the contagions character agreed with the doctors that; under proper precautions, the elements of Obligor were singularly lessened. 1 noticed that the doctors smoked cigars and chewed consider oble quantities of camphor. It may be remem bered tbot in Raspali's time, thirty years ago, camphor was considered in France as an antidote lor mor.y diseases. The doctors drank wine ties for use again aa a hospital. As a palace thfe fctruvturo is a surrerb one, but a* a hospital it is badly arranged. During a tour of the rot ms I raw 84 patients in ail stages of the disease, from the Inst agonized breath to tho period of cheerful convalescence. Every foco in these 84, male and female, was the race of a person from the lower walk's of life, aud this 1 am told has been 1* from the first. At twentieths of the patients r failed to recover. For tho lust fortnight matters have bo fhr improved that only two-thirds of those received Jibvo died. This cxc^siive mortality nt first whs largely due to the foot that most case* when received had developed into a honclcis condition. The highest nu her that havo been in tho hospital at any r time is 110, and tho largest number received in any one day is thirty- seven. There ore two chief doctors and four suboidinotes, who serve in turns. There arc brsidm two apothecaries, ten Augustiuion sis- to*, and a large force of laborers. All of three people, except tho two chiofs, will be with disease. Jir. Koch has visited thU hospital, but It reems he did not leave a pleasant iinprev Hon on tbe physician* in charge, having had noth ing to say. 1???cri'Mps the gay Frenchmen, who were cheerful and merry about their duties, m ly have shocked Dr. Kocli by their apparent levity.

OnoSi.torha. cho.dyai.1 r hM oplilmus. Arles is about tho mo??t bigotol d priest-ridden town In France* nud if .any thing could havo allayed tho pan Jo it would hi vo been this procession. Our traiu hastened on to tho south along the parched and burning aloj o of tbo shore of the B hone, passing a jrroup of lancers Inn field of tents, these sol- dies a having been sent out of Marseille* during the reign of the epidemic. MARSFlLt.rS AH FlttST IKE . On the first view that ono gets of Miirsolllos no cne would be apt to suspect, cither from tho appeorntico of t he city itsolf or of the peo ple 1?? could see, that a pestilence had closed the town. It was estimated at the time of my arrival that fully 100.090 people hod already left the city; but their absence was scarcely noticeable from tbo ntipcsranfto of tho streets. In ono of the public square* a band of lUlian musicians wero playing to a throng cf children aud grown porsous. The omnibuses and street cars wore f\\W of people r.a In ordinary times, while on the sidewalks, under tho onto awnings, nearly all tho chairs - cro occupied, aud the waiters wero kept ns r 1 ????? aver by n cheerful crowd of lounger*, at the sumptuous hotel Noailles, oit the Due do Noftilles, a ci ntlnuatlon of the famous Cnnunbicrc, n different seeno was observed- In all It a hundred rooms myself and my cou rier vvero^tho only j noils tobosocn.

Only tbe footsteps of a solitary ; Valter, as ho passed to and fro on hi* errand* for us, actved lor over one hour to interrupt ' this sombre solitude. Later on I inferred by the size of the. bill that 1 had paid for nil tho absentees a* well as for ourselvoj, which tend ed to diminish my sympathy for our landlord, w ii kih; tit a niMKAMK Aim'sum. The rrtisal ended, wo undertook a drive through iho*eity. In the chief street* wo could ilitcern hut slight changes. In the lido Ft.

Each gfimpre of any ono of these strict* is enough to turn tlm atouiach of nnv healthy man. Tho smell through all lisa qurrtcr, in which during n space or 20 minutes we met three laden hearses, was bad enough, but the smell was Indescribably worse when * wo had driven across town to two of the most ' s atllicted quarters of all Marseilles???Cajudctto ??? and the adjoining quarter. In order to reach ' them we crossed the old ship canal, which was filled to tbe brim with rocking water and had It* surface thickly covered with garbage aud Tcfasc of u decidedly miscellaneous ami re volting kind. Filially we got an a street known ???s Tuukn road???a wide thoroughfare without ?? shade tree. Along its gutters ran rivulets of drab colored watrr which bsd overflown Dom tho canal when the eaunl was demined now and then l y heap* ot rotting vegetable* or worse sub- Hence*, including dead eats and dogs.

An old priest witli _ whom 1 talked ox* with turpentine. The third stage is the coffin. Delay in plac ing the bodies iu ilte coffin* is made memory by tho fact that violent postmortem action of the limbs takes place, caused by a terrible reaction after death, in which tbo tempo!nturo rises from extreme'cold ot disso lution to Jl'O degrees after it. Each coffin is carefully disinfected. Oi ninny pnthetia sights, tho im>bt painful that 1 saw occurred in tho female ward, where one room was mostly oc cupied Ly children.

My vhit to Toulon was uecc-sary In order to how me more plainly what wero the eflTects oi pldiinle. The eonniry people seemed have lest their wit*. The station* along tho road were daerted rave by the railway officials. As at Arles and everywhere the where there was a stop- Irg place, plies otbagynge, bel ling, aud house- tqld furniture incumbered tho platform*. At the ulcvnul de Lcm-c, near tho station at Tonic being save ??*uo cnbmati, said that Arles was deserted and so panic stricken that th?? dead lu some eases remained unburled that oflcnslvo refuse still incumbered tho streets A crowd of women endeavored a few days nt Toulon to get up a religious don appealing to heaven for Divine succor, but tbo authorities forbade It. The authorities are radicula. This, at tho time, created a bad impression. Women in largo num- bet* at all hour* haunt the churches nt Toulon and Mnmdllcs praying before their favorite Khrinai long and fervently. Therein a general antipathy on tbo part of the governing Mushc* to these nets and to clericalism In gcucral, but It outfit not to prevent a wide and generous recognition of tho devotion of both pricBts and titin* iu this crisis.

During the iiiri'tun ycsni which haro elapsed xlnce then Marseilles has Kwii in *evewl Ini por tent rvspetto almost rebuilt.

At Marseille*, Already noted, there began a period of intern e snltry bent, which, with the exception of tbe 30th, when the cooling mistral blew over tlie iw clterit g city, yet continue* unabitod. On the evening of the 20th of June this stilling heat was accompanied by dense swarm* of mos quitoes, which settled uik>ii the lower part of the citv, and were only driven off by fires ol pitch nnd rc-jin, which were lighted along the streets during the night.

The uniform courtesy at><i (oii.sideratloii for the trouble* of each other, whieh tho people of Marseiiks have displayed during the p:i??t fortnight, has been remarkable In a pcopio noted for politeness.
