In rder to test the effieacy of his virus, fHaftkine has experimented on him elf, and fully believes that he is. now roof against the epidemic. He in ~rids to go to Russia, if his services be ccpteal there, and he-is also ready to ombat the cholera in the Eastern ountries in which it has its origin. M.

"John Smith" A REVIEW ON THE HETU7WS. The Conservatives Defeated but not DI couraged-What They Save Done Indi cates What They Might Have Done if They Had Been Earier in the Field.

The conservatives will hard wait until five months before the p mary next time before they begin thi fight. As Chairman Dibble express it before leaving the city, the fig ought to be kept right up, but alwa within the bounds of the Democrai party, and whenever tbey went into fight to abide by the result. If, as it seems probable, there shou be a Third party movement in Sou Carolina the Conservatives will in x way be responsible for its appearant During the final conferences of tl Conservrtive committee it was su gested that an address be issued war ing true Democrats against the spirit Third partyism: They thought it bei however, to say nothing under the c cumstances.

Assistant edit Bowden, who is a leading Third par man, does not appear to know anythir about the matter. There is about as much danger fro the Republicans, although they e pected the Conservatives to take the defeat very much harder than the have done. There is some talk of ru ning Judge Melton for Governor. I is modest about the insinuation at does not yet think it time to talk abo a matter so very doubtful. A LIQUOR MAN TALKS TREASON. This morning I had a talk with prominent liquor dealer, and here is t) way he expressed himself: "Had known what I now do I would ha voted for prohibition. I think it won have been best to have given the pi hibitioists their own way. Let the give the State two years' experiet* and then I think everyone will be s isnfed and.glad egough to go back the old practice aind let people do they want to. I will not be a bit su prised to see a full Republican tick out in the field at the general electio It is time that the Democracy be sho that it has no right to undertake hold such elections. It is not a Den cratic idea, and I believe that good m< with Republican ideas would kuit about as well; as prohibition." T2 spokesmen has been one of the staunc est Democrats in the State.

Preparations Being Made to Put Out a Third Party Electoral Ticket. [Columbia Register.] The often-predicted and long-ex pected Third party electoral ticket in South Carolina will soon become a reality. The man who will lead the movement, or at least its inception, is J. W. Bowden, the managing editor of the Cotton Plant, and the author of the famous anti-Cleveland editorial in, that paper, published after the nomi nation of the standard-bearer of the National Democrasy. Mr. Bowden for many months has been the leader of the "movement" in the State, but it was hoped that he would not antag onize the Democracy, as untold com plications will arise thereby. "Yes," said Mr. Bowden in reply to a question from a reporter yesterday afternoon, "we have gone actively to work, and by the first of October a Weaver and Field electoral ticket will be duly in the field-probably before." "How will they be nominated?" he was asked. "I have received several letters ad vising the convention system, but do not favor it, as it entails too much ex pense. But they will certainly be in the field by that time; you can be as sured of that fact." - "Will you run a State ticket?" "No; we will take no hand whatever in the State and . Congressional contests, and iindividually we will favor the election of Governor Till man and the Reform Congressional candidates, and will vote for them. We are consistent in this, too. Gov ernor Tillman stands on our platform in State affairs, as does the Reform Con gressmen, and we are perfectly con sistent in voting for them. We pro pose supporting men on the national ticket who likewise support our prin ciples-that is all there is In it." "In the race you certainly do not expect your ticket to be successful?" "That is not the question. We are fighting for principles. Nevertheless, the Third party is much stronger than many imagine; and it will surprise the politicians, judging from the temper of the resolutions of the March conven tions. Even Third party men do not realize its full strength. I believe there are 30,000 Third party supporters in the State to-day. We are going to work organizing at once, and you will see that the country people will flock to our support when the battle cry is raised." "What kind of campaign will you inaugurate?" "This is not decided. Weaver is coming to South Carolina soon and will stump the State in our interest. When he will come and where he will speak we do not know yet." - We do not expect Watson over, but feel as sured he could do some excellent work. The general plan of our campaign is undecided." What stand the Cotton Plant will occupy is a matter of much interest. Bowden, an announced Third partyite, cannot write Democratic editorials, and tokes, a staunch Democrat, cannot endorse the utterances of his subordi nate. From the present outlook, some body must step down and out. Which will it be? An interesting fact con nected with the case is that the Cotton Plant is the only Alliance~official organ in the United States that is supporting Clev.land. Mr. Bowden seemed very much in earnest as to his utterances and was very careful in his statements. It is a well-known fact that he has lately or ganized Third party clubs in various places, and ther are several in full bloomi throughout the State. There are politicians in different sections who have been waiting for the call to join the movement, and this announce ment that a ticket for electors will be put in the field seems the battle cry. In further conversation he said that1 the Third party agitation was started for the sake of unity in the ranks, and not primarily with a hope of success. He says that he expects nothing but warfare from the present Reform lead ers and believes that Governor Till man will lead the fight upon them. They look for help from nobody who took a prominent part in nominating candidates in the late primaries. Death of George Winlam Curtis. NEw YoBX, August 31.-H:on. Geo. W. Curtis died at his home at Living - ton, Staten Island, to-day. He was conscious to the end and suffered no pain. Dr. Frank G. Curtis, his son, was in attendance, and Mrs. and Miss Curtis were present. The nature of his disease has never been determined. It was announced some time ago that he was suffering from a cancer in the stomach, but the physicians who attended him could not agree that the disease was cancer ous in its nature and it was the opin ion of a number of them that he suf fered from some abnormal growth on the abdomen which became very large. It is understood that there will be an autopsy. A SKETCh OF BIS LIFE. George William Curtis was born in Prvidence, B. I., February 24, 1824. After attending school at Jamaica Plain, Mass., he removed to New York with his father in 1839, and for a year was a clerk in a store in that city. In 1842, with his elder brother, he joined the community of Brook Farm, where he worked as a farm laborer for eighteen months. Then he tried farm lie for the same length of time near~ Concord, Mass.* In 1846 Mr. urtis went abroad, liv ing for some time in Italy and Ger many, traveling in Egypt and Syria. In 1850 he returned home and took a position on the editorial staff of the New York Tribune. He was also one of the editors of the first series of "Put nam's Monthly" from 1852 till it died. In 1853 Mr. Curtis began in "Har per's Monthly" the series of papers en titled, "The Editor's Easy Chair," and in the same year entered the lecture field, where he won immediate suc cess. He also speedily gained great repu tation as a popular orator, and -in the presidential canvass-of 1856 spoke in behalf of the Republican candidates. Soon after the establishment of "Harper's Weekly," in 1857, he became its chief editorial writer, a position he held until his death. Mr. Curtis was several times a dele gate to National Republican conven tions, and was a member of the con stitutional convention of New York, and was chairman of the committee on education. He declined the Consul generalship to Egypt, tendered by President Lincoln. Mr. Curtis was a strong advocs.te of civil service reform, and in this field was easily champion. He declined the mission to Germany, offered by Presi ident Hayes, and also declined to name any foreign mission he might like to fill. In 1884 Mr. Curtis was chairman of an Independent Republican conven tion held in New York to protest against the nomination of Mr. Blaine for President, and since then he has never been a stalwart Republican. He supported Mr. Cleveland in 1884 and has been a Democrat in national poli ties ever since. - THIRD PARTY NOMINATIONS.

Amos Chapman, of Boston, but formerly of Provincetown, has ar rived on the cape and is shaping a crew of old experienced whalemen for a new and novel voyage-to capture a live sperm whale, to be taken to the world's fair at Chicago. In an interview with the captain he states: "I do not intend to make known my mode of procedure, but I know I'shall succeed if I can find my whale. My crew are all picked men, and every one of them has been en gaged in the business and can be de pended on. Whales are reported plentyin latitude 38- degs. 30 min., longitude 71 degs., by Captain Durham, who has just returned with a full cargo of oil, and for that place I shall shape my course. "I do not propose to take one of the largest. A fifty or sixty foot whale will answer my purpose. I have the plans all drawn for a large tank, in which the whale will be placed and towed by steamer up the St. Lawrence and through'the lakes to Chicago. I have everything prepared to take the whale and bring him into port all right. "All I want now is to get a suitable vessel. When that is obtained a few days will see me off .for the -grounds, and if I find the whale, I expect to be back by the last 6f September. I .can keep my whale in the harbor here while my tank Is building, and in thse spring start for Chicago. Yes, I know it is quite an undertaking, but I also know that I have a dead sure thing." Probably Right. 'What awakens these ecstatic pangs?' sighed young Mr. Snippy, as he leaned over the veranda balustrade and turned his face with its fair young mustache towards the moon. "I do not know," replied Miss Yorker, briskly, "but I believe that insufficient nourishment, coupled with the habit of lunching on pie, is very frequently responsible." .Making It Mutual. Mr. Huchleberry: "No one admires me." Miss Wallfiower: "No one admires me, either." Mr. Huckleberry: "We had better organize a mutual admiration society. I admire your eyes. What do you ad mire about me?" Miss Wallflower: "Your golid taste." BILL ARP IN TEXAS. He Sees Success in Wait!ax for the Harvest. This is a grand country and it im presses you with awe and wonder.

[From the Journal of Commerce.1 More than twenty years ago, when t was found that prevention of cholera was easier than a cure, a prescription rawn up by eminent doctors was pub ished in the Sun, and it took the iame of the Sun cholera medicine. Our contemporary never lent its 2ame to a better article. We have een it in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it to be the best -emedy for looseness -of the bowels er yet devised. No one who has this by him, and ~akes it in time, will ever have the hJolera. We commend it to all our friends. Even when no cholera.is anticipated, t is an excellent remedy for ordinary ummer complaints, colic, diarrhcea, ysentery, &c.

While ex perimenting with the material they reate some new style to attract atten ion; these desi^ns.are reproduced in olored plates and sent to all promi ent dealers to give them an idea of the value of the new material.

Wherein It Differs Prom Many Other Corn ta@ious Diseases. tNew York Herald.] The period of incubation of the dis. ease is an almost certain guarantee of safety. Varying as it does from- twen ty-four hours to three days, it makes it certain that no infected person can reach this country before active symp toms have manifested themselves Hence a primary case is certain to develop before -a vessel has - reached quarantine. Secondary cases, those contracted on the vessel often develop before the vessel:_ reaches port, and it is rot impossible-_ that even tertiary cases would be ls coverable by the health officer. Once the presence of the contagion were discovered strict quarantine measures would, of course, be adopted. The pa-. tients would be isolated and the ship -w fumigated. Cholera is essentially different from many other -contagious diseases in that infection is possi6le only.when_ the disease germ is communicated to the stomach of the person exposed. r have had a child suffering fromAsiatic cholera in my arms and ran no risk, r. inasmuch as I took proper precautions. The mere presence of an Infected -per son in a comniunity does not directije endanger those in the vicinity. If the = disease germ does not somehow or, other find its way to the stomach they .f run no risk. The trouble is that there are so many ways in which the germ may be taken into the stomach It may find its way there by meansof polluted water or food. A person may touch his -hand to some infected ob- .. ject and unwittingly convey the germ - to his stomach whej eating. There are various other ways of producing infection, and only the greatest care and thoughtfulness on the part of those exposed can place them beyond the reach of danger. What steps have been taken to pre- .-, vent a possible epidemic? None. We -- are always prepared'for such a' contin gency. Our men and machinery are always prepared for possible outbreaks ~ of Infectious diseases, and we are quite ready to meet any emergency that > may arise. Should any cases of chc :. era be discovered on incoming vessels the health officer would, of course, Iso late the patients, and if necessary quarantine the vesseL Now that th probability of -such a contingency is known, unusual precautions against passing even possible cases of cholera will naturally be adopted. The first and invariable symptoms of the dls ease is diarrhoa.

A CURIOUS PBOPHECY. a Part of It Has Been Faned-Diaters 7 -to Comie. . [Philadelphia Press.)] In August, 1857, the Bavarian Alle gemneine Zeltung printed a remarkable ~ prophecy, which had been made by an old hermit many years before. In.It the rise of Napoleon IIT. was clearly outlined, as were also the Austro Prussian and the Franco-Prussian wars and the Commune of Parisi He told how the death of Pope Pius would occur in 1876 or 1877, and howit would -& be followed by a Turco-Bussian :war, both predictions being but slightly wrong. He said that G.ermanywoud d have three Emperors in one year be- - - fore the end of the century, which we :~ know was verified to the letter in 1888. He missed it one in the- number of United States Presidents that were to die by assassination, which was re markably close-guessing, to say the least. Now for the future: The opening of of the twentieth century is to see Man-~ battan Island and the whole of New York City submerged in the waters of the H'udson, East River and the Bay. Cuba is to break in two, and part of it, including a portion of the-city ofe Ha vana, to sink beneath the waves. Florida and lower California are-to break loose from the mainland and ~ carry their loads of human freight to the bottom of the sea. The twenty-fifth is to be the last-of the United States Presidents; and Ire- - land is to be a kingdohm and England a rep:blic by the end of the next cen tury. If this seer of seers is to tei relied upon, t1ie United States will soon be divided, and ,San Francisco, Salt Lake - City (which he referred to as the "para dise in the American desert"), New Orleans, St. Louis, Washington and Boston are to be usade capitals of the six republics that are to be reared on the ruins of thepresent United States. I To return to Europe: The end of the twentieth century will not find.elther Italy or France upon the maps,-and Berlin will have been totally destroyed by an earthquake. - Ten Golden Weddings.
