THE RAILROADS.
Cincinnati, April 12 Dr. Mc
Glynn arrived this morning. Some
01 nis iriends desired to introduce
him to representative business men
of the Chamber ol Commerce, and to
that end asked Major John Byrne, of
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad to
make the introduction. Major Byrne
declined, saying that, as a Catholic,
loyal to the precepts and authority of
his Church, he had no sympathy with
McGlynn's position, and that as a
good citizen he could - not la any
sense recognize the false theory, which
the Doctor was attempting to propa
gate. As a member of the Chamber
of Commerce the same views com
pelled him to decline. Others were
appealed to who took the same posi
tion, and thus Dr. McQlynn was not
a visitor on 'Change.

Postal Receipts of the JMrge
Cities.
RESIDENT CLERGxMEN".
Washington, April 13. A state
ment prepared in the office of third
assistant Postmaster General Harris
shows that 'the postal , revenue at
thirty of the large cities for the quar
ter just closed, has increased in re
ceipts $381,481 or 8.7 per cent, as
compared with the corresponding
of last year. The -thirty
sities an abundant supply of good
ness."
While gladly looking forward to the
fruition of our hopes, let us look earn
estly at our present situation. For
years our population has been rapid
ly increasing. There is no telling
how great is the accumulation of de
cayed animal and vegetable matter
in and about Greensboro. Nothing
has been done to destroy or carry it
away. To look at this thing practi
callyj just imagine 6000 people housed
in this place. The slops and offscour
ings daily dumped on the back lots ;
the atmosphere is filled with nauseous
and poisonous odors ami decayed
particles of matter. This is the kind
of air we breathe and sustain life
with. Think of the water we drink I
Our wells are fed by the streams that
catch whatever substance is filtered
through" the soil. We presume a
careful analysis of the water used in
Greensboro would wake our people
up to a sense of the impending dan
ger. For many years we have been
saved
the wind to the shorn lamb, in our
case. When the fire fiend laid his
hand upon us He held his breath, and
there was no sweeping destruction of
the property, of a helpless people. '
We are no alarmist. Greensboro is
no worse off than scores of towns in
this and other States. VTe sound the
note of warning because of the steady
and sure approach of the most dread
ful of all plagues cholera. For a
year it has scourged South America,
and is now preparing for a harvest in
Mexico. So certain is this, that Tex
as has already quarantined against
Mexico. This is being kept as quiet
as possible, because it hurts commer
cial intercourse. It is said by dis
creet, well informed men, that the
appearance of cholera in the Southern
States this summer, is almost inevi
table. - .. .
If it comes it will be a cyclone of
death, unless extraordinary measures
are taken to clean up the southern
towns. Most of them are just about
getting ready to put on fresh clothes,

follow where he should be led that he
would come to a place where several
feet underground were hidden untold
treasures of gold.' Now. Columbus,
like many more of his fellow beings,
has a weakness for gold, and such
news as his nocturnal visitor imparted
to him not only allayed his fears, but
it put him into such a happy frame of
mind that we suppose he was almost
willing to fall down and worship his
good benefactor. Certain it is. at any
rate, that he' forthwith followed the
apparition until the latter led him to

Lentz's garden, and alter telling him
to keep only halt the treasure when
he should find it and to apply the
other to some good public our pose,
the spirit vanished. Before leaving,
however, the ghost such it was, of
course gathered several handluls of
$20 gold pieces from some invisible
source and flung them broadcast
around him. He then told Misen

imparted to him until 12 o'clock sharp
the following Monday.
Misenheimer went home a wiser
but not a sadder man. The next day
he laid aside his carpenter tools and
procured a pick, spade and some other
tools. He went to Mr. George Lentz's
and told him of his experience the
night-before. Mr. Lcntz agreed to
help him dig for the treasure and to
