NEW YORK , Sept. 7 To-day was
brighter , frostier and every way more
bracing1 than any day since the first
cholera ship appeared. This evidence
that the weather is aiding the
authorities in combatting the invading
scourge has sent New York's spirits
up , though it is reported that a. few
more cases of sickness have been dis
covered at quarantine.
The main question , outside of actual
combat with the scourge , seems to be
the disposition to be made of the Nor-
mannia's many saloon passengers , in
whose favor the tide of popular sympa
thy now appears to be turning , The
passengers have petitioned the people
of New \ork to take some action which
will deliver them from their floating
prison , and there seems to be little
doubt that their prayers will be an
swered , zts the secretary of the navy
has indiiectly offered the use of the
naval reserve training ship New Hamp
shire and of the proving grounds at
Scndy Hook , and the Ilambui'g-Ameri-
can steamship company is negotiating
for one of the Sound steamers.
There is no truth in the stories of
panic among the detained passengers ,
in spite of reports to the contrary.
Late last night Captain Hebich report
ed that passengers were all very well
and enjoying themselves as much as
poj-bible under the circumstances. In
fact there was a hop on board the ves

wafted across the bay to the watchers
who patrolled the witters.
The steamer Wyoming , which ar

The death of the venerable poet ,
Whittier , Avill be widely mourned ,
for he had endeared himself by his
verse and his gentle life to a great
er number of people thnn any other
American poet , with the possible
exception of Longfellow. Though
not a great poet , Whittier's muse
had a grace and delicacy , a tender
ness and sweetness , that charmed
the enr and touched the heart as
few others can. He did not reach
the loftier heights of song , but all
that he did hud its prompting in
an earuest purpose.
Mr. Whittier's pen was a potent
force in the anti-slavery period ,
and it is perhaps not too much to
say of him that no other man not
even Garrison or Wendell Phillips
exerted n greater influence upon
the public mind or did more to
mold popular sentiment. His
poems were read where the ring
ing editorials of Garrison and the
splendid orations of Phillips did'
not reach , and the } * produced an
impression which the others could
not make. Much of this work lost
its interest with the passing away
of the conditions that evoked it ,
but the fame of the poet does not
rest wholly upon his lyrics of free
dom.
dom.Whittier's
Whittier's life was of ideal gen
tleness and we recall no more
beautiful character in all literature.
He loved humanity and his talents
were employed for its improve
ments and elevation. He set an
example of gracious and gentle
living which all men would do wel
to imitate and died with an unques
tioning faith in an immortal life
beyond the grave. Bee.
THE decision of the president to
establish a quarantine of twentj
days on all vessels from infectec
ports is understood to be the besi
substitute that his powers enable
him to give the country withoul
delay , for absolute non-intercourse
with cholera stricken communities.
If a strict quarantine was al ]
that the president wished to estab
lish , ten days would doubtless be
as good as twenty. But the inten
tion is to put a summary stop
to immigration from foreign ports
whence the germs of the disease
might be conveyed uiid a quaran
tine of twenty days would accom
plish that end , for the reason thai
the loss of time and money to the
ships engaged in the passengei
business through such a regula
tion will be prohibitive. We may
rest assured that the order of the
president will stop the immigra
tion from such ports at once.
Most of the passenger compan
ies have already decided to ship
no second class or steerage passen
gers from any European port to
this country. Now , if the Canad
ian government will follow suit , it
is possible that we may escape a
visitation this fall. Journal.
"WE are handicapped , " says the
veteran leader of the Boston dem

but it is true that the politics of

dares to pray for the prosperity of
the country because of its dampen
ing effect on the voice of the cal
amity hawkers and the republican
is the only fellow who dares to let
himself loose and hurrah for pros

MALARIA GERMS
Fill the Air and Poison the Drinking
V/ater.
Each season of the year has its spec
ial liability to disease. The months of
August , September and October always
bring with them more or less malaria ,
according to the locality. Malaria is
due to a little organism which is gener
ated in water , producing millions of
spores , or eggs , with which the water is
filled. People drinking such water
liave malaria. Or , again , if such water
dries up under ground , the spores are
, eft to dry , and they are carried from
place to place by the wind , which are
inhaled by the people , causing malaria.
Every one is liable to have malaria at
this season of the year. Malaria does
not always produce a distinct chill and
sweating , but far oftener manifests it
self by the following symptoms : Slight
chilliness and flashes of heat , furred
; ongue and loss of appetite , continuous
dull headache and slceplessn ess , bilious
ness and dyspepsia.
For malaria in all its forms there is
no remedy the equal of Pe-ru-na. This
remedy cleanses the system of the mal
arial poison and arouses each function
of the b"dy to a healthy action. No
matter how many failures one may have
lad to get relief from other remedies ,
Pe-ru-na promptly restores the system
o health. The beneficial effects of
his remedy are felt at once , although it
may have to be continued some time to
id the system of the malarial poison.

tions for use. Any one desiring further
