OFF SUMMERING. Notes of Vacation Visits in the Pells of the Wisconsin and About Lake Hnron. Wisconsin Dells. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Witchs’ Gulch, Head of the Wisconsin Dells, July 14 —Here, in this wild spot, one can imagine himself away hack in the primitive times, when the Indian warwhoop resounded through these forests. The dells of the Wisconsin are to a large extent free from the transforming influences that usually attend the march of civilization. To be sure, you oome here upon the palace ear, stop at the hothl with (not) all the modern conveniences, and you make your way up the river through its picturesque scenery ■on a steamboat; and when you go ashore and ascend any of the cannon-like glens that jut into the main gorge, you find at its head ice-cream (parlors, a peanut stand, and and a picnic platform; but you come upon these features suddenly and unexpectedly. They are so hidden and obscured by overliaaging rocks and trees as not to be at ail obtrusive. The dells, which (upper and lower) extend about nine miles above and below Kilboum City, are a gorge worn by the Wisconsin river through a sandstone plateau. Tho sides of this gorge, which are from fifty to one' hundred feet in height, are vertical, and in many places they even overhang the river, and one can pass beneath them as under a roof, in a small boat. The custom of those who wish to “do” the Dells, is go up in the steamer and return in a row-boat, milder the direction of a guide, and nothing can be more charming than such a trip on a pleasant day with good company. The lateral gorges, too, of which there are several, are even more unique and interesting than the river itself. Passing through them is Pike going through some parts of Mammoth tTiive, except that one always has a streak of 'Bght at least above where the over-hanging rocks do not quite meet. Many are the fantastic forms all along both river and glens, many of which have names more or less appropriate. The proper noun however, which in the possessive case is prefixed to most of them seems to justify . theobservation that a large share of this country has been given over to the devil. J. b. b.

Huronia Beach. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal Huronia Beach, July 12. — This delightful resort is located on the western shore of Lake Huron, at the head of the St. Clair river, and is three and a half miles from Port Huron and about seventy-five from Detroit. There are accommodations for forty-eight families. The cottages are roomy, airy and well lighted; they are provided with wire screens, and there are no mosquitoes to annoy one. Everything is done for renters to make their stay pleasant. Marcus Young, *>f Port Huron, the proprietor of the cottages, is constantly on the alert, and is eagerly sought by the cottagers, whose every wish he promptly gratifies. Asa lady remarked: “It takes Mr. Young two hours to walk the length of the pavement, so many people besiege him.” Mr. Daniel Tilden, of Ypsilanti, Mich., has charge of th 6 dining hall, and everything is managed in a first-class manner. A rare thing at summer resorts is to have choice butter and milk, an abundance of which we get here. One thing very gratifying is the scarcity of flies. The dining-hall is large and cool, with tables for 200 guests. Board is placed at the moderate figure of $3.50 per week, and cottages, either furnished or unfurnished, can be had by the week, month or season at reasonable rates. The cottages are about 200 yards from the lake, and the shipping constantly passing affords a pleasant variety in the scenerv. Street lamps and shade-trees are plenty, while immediately in the rear of the cottages is a large forest where hammocks and croquet are abundantly used and enjoyed. The lake is a most beautiful body of water; its clearness is remarkable. The bathing is fine, and perfectly safe for the smallest child. To-day little bits of humanity, not over three years of age, were plunging in the surf, to the delight of many spectators, who were enjoying the bathing at a distance.) A large pavilion fronts the dining hall, the same distance from the lake as the cottages. In it are double swings, which the children enjoy as only little folks can. It is the general rendesvous for the guests of the Beach, and delightful evenings are passed in sociability. Mr. and Mrs. Penny, who have general charge of tho cottages, make themselves so useful that visitors wonder what the beach would be without them. Among the guests here atpresent are the families, from Detroit, of Mr. Stoking, editor Post and Tribune; Major R. N. Arndt, Mr. Tryon, Butler Ives, banker; Mr. Griffith, Mr. J'ernald, Mr Osborn, and Mr. Charles Shover. From Port Huron, C. A. Ward, president First National Bank; Hon. F. L. Wells, M. C., Hon. Henry Howard, ex-M. C., Dr. Smith, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Thompson, Prof. Henry J. Robison, Superintendent public schools, Mr. J. P. O'Neil, and Mrs. John Miller. Besides there are Mr. Daniel Tilden, Ypsilanti, Mich.; Mr. E. W. Osborn, Rochester, N. Y.; Mr. Jenkinson, Pontiac, Mich.; Mr Noble Petrolia, Ontario, Canada. The society is delightful, the great beauty and pleasures of the beach a surcease from the cares of business and the worry of domestic affairs, and the climate all that could be asked or enjoyed. As I write a little fire makes the cottage at once comfortable and home like. For calm, peaceful rest for the older ones, and for glowing faces and rapacious appetites for the children, home and inhale the brazes of Huronia Beach. _ F. H. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE, Mohammed or the Mountain, Which? Vs (fee Editor of tits Indianapolis Journal: Borne people are troubling their gizzards over tits conundrum whether in this ease it is Mohammed or the mountain that has gone or Is about to go to the other fellow. There is no sense in fretting about a little thing like this, for it depends, you know, upon whether the Democratic party is the Mohamthed or the mountain, and the independent Republican party is the party of the other part For my part, and for the sake of the argument, I contend that the Independent party is the mountain, and that the Democratic party is the Mohammed; that is, the Democratic party has don* and is doing all the going, just as they did in 1872. In 1872 a whole Bandful of independent Republicans—men who mors too good to live tn a party that was so corrupt as not to furnish a good fat office for all its talented men, met in convention and nominated Mr. Greeley, one of their number, who had had the chronic sorehead ever since he had not got the New York postoffice, years and years before, when he dissolved the political partnership of Greeley, Seward & Cos. In other words, he became an independent. On this occasion Mr. Hendricks, in his Academy-of-Music spesch, said “We”—meaning the Democratic party—•‘we turn our backs on the past.” and they forthwith marched, bag and baggage, into the ranks of the independent party. Alas for the independents; it killed them so dead tliat they never kicked for twelve long years; and Greeley himself went crasy and died in a few months after the adulterous union. And now comes this same independent party, after a sleep of twelve yearn, and it proposes to reform things generally, and tha Republican party in particular. And they have many a justification lor this, chief among which is the fact that one ol them is counted only one, when the party comes to make up its jewels; in other words, just a common man's wishes and views are as highly prised as ere their’s. This is a grievance too intolerable to be borne, whereupon they set up housekeeping .is independent Republicans, and announce their readiness to again receive the Democratic party Us terms are satisfactory, which terms they pro coed to state. First, thev must ': vr n Candidate to their Ukins :nwi t.ic v i her - upon tho Delim. a i

land it is. Next, the platform must not be offensive. It must be borne in mind that they have been raised in the Republican school, and nothing must be said to make them feel uncomfortable. To meet this condition the platform tumbles too, and not a word appears from first to last that can offend Republican ears —not a word denunciatory of the war, or of the Union soldiers; not a word against greenbacks, or government bonds: not a word against national banks or gold and silver; not even a reaffirmation of “tariff for revenue only,” but to adapt their language to ears polite, they say “tariff for revenue exclusively,” then they scatter “reform” all through the document in a kind of hit-and-miss style, very much as some noisy old Methodists used to say “amen,” often in mg6t out-of-the-way places; and then they proceed to profess to do the very things the Republican party has been at work at for a quarter of a century, not forgetting to indorse Mr. Blaine’s proposed foreign and American policy; and now this independent party is to assemble moon and determine whether, as the mountain, they will receive the moving Mohammed. I guess they will, but will it not kill both of them again? ■ U. L. See. A Party of False Pretense. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: If anything that the Democracy does could surprise and disgust the people, it seams that the twelfth resolution in their State platform this year would do it. It reads: “We also approve of the repeal by said Legislature of the infamous law passed by the former Republican Legislature for the settlement of decedents’ estates.” First—That law has not been repealed. Second —A Democrat (Judge Malott, of Vincennes) drafted that law; a Democrat (Hon. F. W. Viehe, senator from Knox and Sullivan counties) introduced' the bill for it as “Senate bill No. 351,” and voted for it and engineered its passage through the Senate; and a Democrat (Hon. Henry S. Cauthorn, ex-Speaker) took charge of the bill in the House at Representatives, voted for it and secured ita passage, and without their votes and influence it would not have become a lew. Third—The Legislature of 1881, which enacted it, was not Republican in both branches, and could not pass any law without Democratic as sistance and votes. Then, if the law is “infamous.” who should be chiefly blamed for its enactment? The Senate is composed of fifty members. Only twenty-four of them were Republicans. Any bill to pass into a law must have twenty-six votes in the Senate oast by senators. The Brevier Reports and the House and Senate journals of 1881 will show the facts, all of which remain very clearly in the memory of the members of that Legislature. The Democratic State convention must have been hard up for capital and material for its platform to thus falsify the history of its State legislation, and to attempt to deceive the people by false pretenses. Do they hot greatly underrate the intelligence of our people, if they expect . them, like yofihg robins, to simply shut their eyes and open tnpir mouths, swallowing on trust a ild-without investigation whatever platform the “leaders” put into their mouths? If we apply the maxim, “False in one, false in all,” what will become of their platform, and the voter's faith in their declarations and promises? What' makes the perversion the more gross and shameful is that it was coolly and deliberately done by those who should have known better, and the false pretense was indorsed under the very eyes and in the presence of their leading men, some of whom were members of the Legislature of 1881.' What faith can we have in such a party? Kokomo, July 14. A Hoosieb Voter.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF CHOLERA. The Terrible Disease Distributed by Pilgrims from Hurdwar and Mecca. New York Ban. The only countries upon the globe to which cholera has not been carried are the islands of the South Pacific, Australasia, the Cape of Good Hope, the islands of the North Atlantic, and the western coast of South America. These localities are all separated from India by a wide expanse of ocean, and have no commercial intercourse with that country. Cholera has not become permanent outside of India, although it is seldom absent from some of the provinces of Hindustan. From its birthplace in the delta of the Ganges, the disease has effected a permanent lodgment in the provinces of Bengal, Madras and Bombay, while in the provinces that He to the west and northwest, such as Rappootana and Punjab, it docurs only as an epidemic, developing after great religious gatherings. Hurdwar, in the Punjab, at the foot of the Himalaya mountains, is the great nursery of cholera. It never originates there, but has annually been developed there during the great Hindu festivals. Os these festivals Hurdwar is cursed with two, and they draw together a great concourse of people from every portion of the Indian empire. At some of these festivals as many as 3,000,000 devotees have assembled, but of late years the numbers have fallen off, Hurdwar having lost its sacred prestige from the fact that some of the holy waters of the Gaages have been profanely diverted into a canal constructed by English authorities. There immense numbers of human beings gather upon a bare, sandy plain, on the banks of the Gauges, massed like herds of swine, without means of sanitary protection. The earth and air, as well as the water, are polluted, and the odor from the camps is perceptible for many miles. Day ana night the devotees pour through the great thoroughfares of the country to and from the festival in parties of from ten to five hundred, following so closely as to make an almost continuous procession. Ninhty-five out of every one hundred are on foot, but occasionally some great nabob sweeps past with an enormous retinue, or a rajah with his oaravan Os elephants, camels, horsemen, and swordsmen passes in all the grandeur and confusion of Indian royalty. They ride over the poor wretches who line the roads, trample them down, and hurl imprecations upon them for blocking the way. Some march hundreds and some thousands of miles to engage In the festivals and to baths in the sacred river. Many die on the way, and all arrive lame and gaunt from hunger and fatigue, with their feet bound up in rags and their scanty clothing covered with blood and dust. They rush into the river as soon as they arrive, and drink the water as fast as they can scoop it np in their hands. They are fed from the temple kitchen, where as many as 90,000 cooks are at work, and the food is distributed among them in a rude way. When fresh It is not tin wholesome, but too much of it produces indigestion and great sufferings. The halfstarved pilgrims eat it like gluttons, rush into the water again to bathe and drink, and the result is derangement of the digestive organs. When they have eaten their fill, whatever food is left is preserved. It is sacred, and cannot he thrown away. Under the hot sun it soon becomes poisonous to the pilgrims who eat it.

In these hot-beds Os disease, under conditions that would breed a plague anywhere, thebe pilgrims lire. The heat is almost unendurable. The living, the sick, and the dying are huddled together, with only just as much space as they can cover lying down. As fast as they die, they are buried in the sand. But on the return journey ths misery of the pilgrims reaches its height They are sick and lame, but stagger along until the weak fall ky the roadside to die. Their bodies li# thickly along the journey uncovered. Some drag their weary limbs until they reach a village, where they drop and lie in masses, blocking up the streets, until they get strong enough to more forward, or die of starvation and disease. It is impossible to calculate the number that perish. The Bishop of Calcutta estimates it at about one la five, and those who do not die on

the journey, carry th* germs of disease home with them, scattering pestilence along their path. Thus the cholera is started on its periodical march around the world. No great Asiatic pestilence has ever Scourged the East and allowed the eities of Arabia to escape. The pilgrims to Mecca and the commercial caravans to Damascus carry death In their train under any quarantine that ten bedsVised, but tho attempts to establish quarantine are weak, ineffectual, and 'spasmodic. The holy city of Mecca is another great distributing point for cholera; in foot, it is a sort of clearing-house for all sorts of infectious diseases. In 1865,* It is said, 20,080 pilgrims died there from cholera in six days, and 'the city for centuries lias been the focus of plagues, Which have been la-ought from all directions, and thence distributed by returning pilgrims over three con<i!vnt* ' -A' i- ;• centuries there ha? been an inces-

sant stream of pilgrims to and from Mecca. To be present at the Kourban Bairam is the great aim and end of Mohammedan life, and to reach there hundreds of thousands abandon homes and property, and undertake perilous and exhausting journeys. From the north Atlautio and Mediterranean shores of Africa, from Timbuctoo and western Africa, from Siberia, from the Danube and the Sea of Asof, from the western provinces of China, from tlie cities of Europe, and from the most remote Mohammedan settlements, constant processions of pilgrims are passing to and from Mecca; for this pilgrimage, at least once in a life-time, is binding on all true Mohammedans, and he who dies without having mado it might as well have been a Jew, a Christian, or a dog. The return of one pilgrimage is never accomplished from any of the larger settlements before another is on the move. They arrive in great caravans, aad the misery and hardships they endure are equal to those suffered by the Hindu devotees. Some come by sea to Jedda upon the native vessels, which are saturated with infectious poisons. Each passenger receives only sufficient space to squat upon. The intense heat of the day, the miasmas of the night, privations of all sorts, the want of sleep and food and exercise induce a physical condition but little short of death. Many die on board the vessels, but the most have strength enough left to drag themselves to tho Holy City. Those who go by land and on foot suffer even worse. Having arrived at Mecca, without rest or food, the pilgrims enter at onoe upon their religious duties. The first is to visit the Kaaba, the Holy Temple, and the tomb of Ishmael, upon which rests the stone let down from heaven. Upon the arrival at the Kaaba all drink and perform their ablutions in the well of Zem Zero.

The water is tepid, salty, and milkish in color. It might have been pure onoe, hut it has not been so in centuries. No pilgrim ever quits Mecca without carrying a jar of this water away with him, and it is impossible to overestimate the potency of the Zem Zem spring in spireading cholera and other diseases. In Mecca, all the essentials for an epidemic are constantly gathered, as well as the means for distributing the germs of disease broadcast. The pilgrimages in India and Arabia have received the attention of sanitarians for several years, but no means has yet been found, so strong is the religious sense, to prevent the dissemination of disease by them. The present epidemic in France can be traced from Hurdwar to Mecca, from Mecca to Egypt, and thence along the Mediterranean to Toulon and Marseilles. Decay o ( Mr. Storey's Mind. South Bend Register. Mr. Andrew Anderson, a lawyer of South Bend, Ind., and the husband of one of the four heirs of the estate of Wilbur F. Storey, said yesterday to a Chicago News reporter that that great journalist was a complete wreck, physically and mentally. Sines marrying his young wife, Mr. Anderson said, Mr. Storey had become completely estranged from his relatives, and his perceptive faculties had become so weak that he could not tell a man from a doorpost. The petition filed in the Probate Court on Wednesday for the appointment of a conservator for Mr Storey's estate, had been brought about by the report that Mrs. Storey intended to take personal control of the Chicago Times, making her nephew. Benjamin Lamb, a very young man, manager of the business. The heirs thought that ruin would follow such an action. She had intefered already in the management of the newspaper, and had expressed dissatisfaction with the present business manager and with the editor-in-chief. There was a mortgage of $145,000 on the Times building, but none on the newspaper itself. Mr. Storey owned about $300,000. He had went $226,000 on his palace on the boulevard, and an outlay of $150,000 more would be necessary to complete it His estate was considered worth $1,000,000 above all debts. The only object of the heirs asking for a conservator was to prevent the squandering of Mr. Storey’s property during his lifetime. Messrs A. C. Patteraon and C. R Dennett business mfnager and editor, respectively, of the Times, said they understood that Mrs. Storey proposed making radical changes in the management of the newspaper. They said they had taken no part in the late move of Mr. Storey’s heirs. Mrs. Storey declined to say anything about the matter. The Cleveland Trade-Mark. Chicago hews. This touching little story is being circulated by the sentimental Democratic papers: “A lovely little boy babe was picked np abandoned in Central park a few days ago. It was sent to an infant asylum. A note, in pencil, attached to its clothing, simply said: ‘Be kind to Clarence.’ He was christened by President Viale, of the Park commission, ‘Clarence Cleveland.’” This is all very pathetic and sweet, bat we have it upon pretty good authority that it is not the first instance where a foundling has been named Cleveland. According to the stories current in Chicago last week there are thirteen little foundlings in the great State of New York who already bear the name of Cleveland; in fact, Mr. Cleveland’s triumphal march from adventurous youth to dignified manhood seems to have been strewn profusely with little foundlings whom the name of Cleveland fits as nicely as a trade-mark fits a patent-medicine bottle. While other articles erf the kind are largely adulterated, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powders hold their unshaken position in the estimation of thousands as the purest, best, most reliable and cheapest. In all particulars that constitute perfect results, they can not be approached by the various known Baking Powders in the market
