We do not suppose that wc, ourselves, or our enterprising neighbor across the Kaw, are either going to make a fortune at least, not immediately but we think that by industry and economy there is a fair chance for a livelihood. We expect to find it somowhat uphill, but still, with the generous encouragement the citizens of an enterprising community, fully alive to its own interest, will give, our Manhattan neighbor need have no fears about the success of either. We have no particular advice to give in return for that kindly extenJed to us.

Mr. Schuyler, mentioned above, was a Sir Knight in Masonry, and nothing that was within the reach of his brethren of the Order was omitted to make him as comfortable as possible. Mr. John II.

Graves have been in such demand for a few days past tint men have been getting eight dollars for digging one. Not only this, but so fearful has been the mortality that it has actually happened that a grave has been stolen. One case I know of. A number of men had beon employed to dig a Ust resting place for a man who had died during the night, when, just as the work lad been completed, and before the corpse had arrived, a party came up having a fresh victim and positively jay-hawked the grave. They insisted upon burying their friend, notwithstanding the fact that those who had dug it characterized the act as a Yankee trick." Employees and citizens are leaving by every train.

There is no doul't, in my estimation, but what the worst of it is passed at Ellsworth, and the town will soon be free from the scourge. On Wednesday nijht, the most severe thunder stoim I ever witnessed visited the town. The thunder was almost incessant, and the rain fell in perfect torrents, adding to the discomfort of the sick, but increasing the chances of escape to those who were well. There are at Fort llarker between fifty and sixty cars wailing to be unloaded, but no man can be found to do the work.

Friend Short: It is wuh a feeble hand I write ou to let you know how times are here. The cholera is raging: There have been more than three hundred dealhs within the last thirty days, that we kn'ow of, besides what have betn buried after night, to keep the men from leaving, lam sick, but think 1 will be all right in a few days. F. F. Moorb.

To O. F. Short. The above letter need create no alarm. It only serves as a warning, need not excite a shadow of fear.

Remember that Fort darker and Salina are in newlv settled region, which has been subject to great falls of rain, and high water, besides the accommodations for travelers are of the poorest. People are huddled together like animals, and those have to sleep en the first floor generally, which in a damp region is enough to breed disease. Poor whisky has been drunk, and vegetables shipped there are of a poor qsmlity, and not well 'cooked before eaten. Persons weakened by dissipation, irregulnr habits, and drin-l: ing bad water, are the best subjects for a prevailing epidemic. Even in a season when cholera does not rage, under such circumstances, sporadic cases will occur.

None of these causes are operating here. We have an efficient Board of Iloalih, who have wisely prohibited the importation, selling or giving away of vegetables or fruit. Disinfectants are to be had by all, rain water to drink and good and sufficient accommodations. Thero is not the slightest reason for alarm. Be regular in habits and keep in good spirits.

Li support of our oft repeated advice to use disinfectants before disease appears we append the following unimpeachable testimony: "The Cholera Conference held at Wei-mer last summer, lays the greatest stress in its report upon disinfection as a means of preventing cholera. The nine points adopted by the conference all enforce rigid disinfection, and insist upon it as an essential in dealing with a pestilence so dreadful as cholera But this disinfection and the other sanitary, measures, according to the report, 'should be performed at the proper rtime, that is, before the epidemic is actually prevalent in a town or We would recommend that our citizens do not go to llarker it would be running a needless risk.

We conversed last evening with parties from Ellsworth, yesterday morning, among whom was Mr. Lemuel Jones, from whom we glean the following particulars. It appears that a very violent thunder storm visited that place night before last, which cleared the atmosphere thoroughly, and after which but two cases of cholera wore reported. Among these was Capt. Thomas Hughes, a well known citizen of this city, who, when our informant left, was apparently at death's door.

Mr. Slemmons was reported as somewhat improved, and hopes were strongly entertained of his recovery. He was occupying the same room with Mr. Drayfoos, who died. Capt.

A young lady by the name of Caroline Low, in Clinton, DeKalb county, Illinois, over two years ago, after washing windows, was replacing them, when she struck her hand through the glass, running several long pieces into her hand. After several days a physician was called, and, as was supposed, the glass all extracted. But it appears not to have been the case, as a large quantity was left in her hand, which soon made its appearance under the skin on her arm, and was cut out by her surgeon.

It continued spreading until it extended to ell parts of her body. Six months ago it caused the lock-jaw, with which she was afflicted for about six weeks, during which time she partook of no substance, except that which she could drink within her clenched teeth. At present she is a maniac more than half the time, and inBUch agony as words wil! not describe. At intervals she is rational and able to sit up and do some work. Over twelve hundred pieces of glass have been cut out of her flesh.

Leaving Leavenworth Tuesday morning, I arrived at Ellsworth at 11 P. M. A prominent business man of the town reported to me that there had been eleven deaths during the day, resulting from cholera or some similar disease. I know of no less than eight fatal cases on Wednesday, among them Mr. Drayfoos, formerly of this place, Mr.

Slemmens, a well known Leavenworth freighter, Mr. Schuyler, an old Michigan Central Railroad man, from Detroit, and the notorious Buffalo Bill, who bas long been known on the frontier as a gambler and stock pilot for the Indians.

The Tribune'e Washington special says news has reach. Louisville had an opportunity of witnessing a silly performance by an itenerant gang of counterfeit negro minstrels, and a goodly number availed themselves of it It was surprising to see so many who have always been considered sane in other matters, willing to part with their fifty-cent pieces of postage currency after the man" ner indicated in the adage above quoted. We know nothing about this particular band of "minstrels," further than that they looked and acted just like all other vagabonds we have ever seen engaged in thai business. Such gangs are commonly composed of indolont louts who, too lazy to work for a living, and possessed of too little cunning to steal without being detected, must need resort to the excessive gullibility of the people in and about our country towns and villages, or starve to death. Of the meanest, most worthless class of mean whites, tbey seek to counterfeit some degree of respectability by blacking thoir facos, flattening their noses, frizzling their hair, cheating soma darkey out of his bnnjn, robbing "poor old Ned "of bis violin, and appearing on the stage at negroos.
