The farther I träte I into this plague-infested country ins more horrible becomes the situation, and the more I wonder th&t the entire population, or at least that portion of it who have been attacked by the prevailing epidemic, iave not been swept into the world beyond, l'rora the sources from which I confidently expected some valuabl and full Information I hare been almost invariably disappointed, and I am unable to write of the situation clearly only after conversations with ball of the citizens of the town and with men from all parts of the county, who are here to-day from distances ranging ail the way from five to forty miles, to secure supplies and have grinding done. The ater mills in this county, as in most of the mountain counties, are useless because of the scarcity of water, and the steam mill here u patronised by families living far and near. Tts first gentleman I met today who toutd Rive me any definite statement rerranling the ravages of the disease was Mr. YV. K. Jouf 8, wnnnas traveled extensively in this (Ü3f an) country within tbe past few weets. fie -ays the infection lias been widespread atd very fatal, and that since its appearance baa resulted in at k-at-t fifty deaths, all the t-actoestn the eoonty beinir oa those portloua of Clover Fork, Poor Fork, and ürea?y, Mrowrios arid 1'ucietta creeks rnnning through it. The narure of the disease doea aot vary from the diagnosis given iu former Utters. In this county, however, the vie"Uru have almoet been t hildreu, ouly aboat one out of ten being adult?. JlS ACTUOIUTaTKB e-tim at;:. Fioiu all aonrcesof information I ana able k nuike the followiDt; estimate, whicn may I relied upon as Peine as nearly correct as any Li: at cocld be made without a personal viiit to every tou?e in the county. There have been, since the latter part ot Ansaat, ever 'JW deaths, and of thrse at least oni alf Lave died from flux or cholera infantum, superinduced by tie ua of ioipnr wasjtr. there have been about 2J ca. es of fcickre known to Le fiux, and a lare anoartt of illness from other caches. e5pe--:ajly mors children, such a whooping cor.yh. bronchitis, sniamer complaint, etc , in many caöes a complication of thee dbseaa existing. w roade graves aboand in every hnry-iD-rrouiid on the strf amsabove named, and the cry sammer is, in the opinion of almost very wan with whom I have met and talked, responsible or the unusual and .'anuin mortality. The coanty has but abdat 5,oX) inhaDitant3. and una u every twenty of these, basing the averse on the wtimate above given, have died. The spring und Bummer, up to the latter part of Äugest, were unusually healthy; then the sickness bergan, and since then 00 per cent, of the deaths Lave occurred. In this county, as in Bell, I learn that a prejudice against doctors 'exists. Sime of Ohe people believe, a firmly as they believe in a Divine Being, that wit en a doctor enters Jieir door death stalk3 beside him. How oonch truth there ia in their superstition I will cot pretend to say. In some instances it is probable they would die either with or without medical aid. It is noticeable that among those v ho refuse it the death rate is always the largest, yet there are some of these bucolic physicians who would lose verycaee they took through ignorance of their profession. These mountain counties do not afford a princely, or 4ven a peasant or comfortable lirfllhood, thereto-e compeVmt doctors are net often met with. Some of them have only a smattering of medicine leaned from the bocks which i th'.'ir way Into the mountains, and positive. no practical knowledge of the myatericj of the art cf healing. I take the responsibility for this statement on my own shoulders, and if necessary can back it up with facte so indlse-ut-able that a question of their trathfa!iie3 could not be raised. A DUCTOKS MAGNOKIii. I met ana talked with Dr. If.air, of title place, this mornmg. He is around man, and has, I understand, considerate. practice, being, with one exception, th oa!y phvician iu the county. He U of the upinioa that recent rains and frosts ha 7 bad a tendency to abate the epidemic the virulence of which, he thinks, is poverned oy the temperature. If the weather Ivciaies about imL'omi nuht ana iay, tbe dlis decrease-?, but co.d nights and warm dar incliued u pie it new impetus. I aio a-ikel him ahect the treatment of the dkea.'. Ipecac has been, until recently, the principal ingredient of the prescriptions (riven by him; but a cholera care, consistinsof twadmcutns f chinchoca, two drachms oi nitric acid, two drachms of sweet spirit of nitre and five ounces of epsom salt, tbe whole -JUnted with a quart of distli!td aater, has bet'n uth1 with more fcucceM t3n anythinfi; yet tried. Thieia siven in ranin in size from half a wirf.?latfcldoTcn to a tabiftfpoonful. InMLiecusPa quinine and leptandrin have been preicrihvHi, witli varying results.

In this concla-n'oa evry physician with whom I have talked supports me, and it is doubtless correct. I have now been at the county seat) of three counties in which tbe infection h a foothold Knox, Bell and Harlan and in tke, which are bnt on tbe outskirts of the -district in which it has been most fatal, I am up a total of over 40O dratbtt since the latter pari of Aegoit from tiax alone, and and fully the tarae number from other ill, rcottly resulting from the use of imp 'ire or mineral toisoned water.

In a day or two more I will be in Letcher County and Wise Coanty, Va., and afur my trip thronpb. them will no doabt be abletoprttty closely estimate the number of ictims in the entire territory which tbe scourge covers. From reports from Lstcher received here, it is evident ttxat the cas of sickness have run up into COO or 400, and the deaths have teen about Eve oat of tea.

DYING AMUNO SIIIASUEES. A Voooe Iady From Mew York Fall Fatally 111, Couceala Eler Identity, aud Dies in a Connecticut To an. BiRKnronAM, Conn., Dec. 4. This quiet and artistccratic New England town Is talsins about one of th most deplorable and unfortunate afTairs which has occurred in this portion of Connecticut for many years. On the , afternoon of Thanksgiving Day a handsome dressed woman alighted from the cars of the Naugatuck Railway at the Derby Depot, and shortly afterward was discovered in a state of senai consciousness upon the platform, where ter condition was discussed by a gaping crowd of idle men who Boon gathered about. An attempt was made to have an oScer take charge of the woman, but it failed. Finally, when no one else extended a help ing hand, she was taken to the house of a dentist named Joslyn by Frank Jackson, a well known resident of the town. There she was given all possible care by Mrs. Joslyn. All attempts to discover the woman's nam were unavailing, as she refused to talk, and in her handbag nothing was at first discovered which could in the least lead to her identity. DKi: E . VINGS AD DEATH. In her ravings the woman begsed for stimulants, which were administered, but she became worse, and for foir days, unknown and uncared for by any kind hands save those o strangers, she tonad and raved, still refusing to tell any one who Bhe was, who her friends were or where was her home. At last she became worse, and Dr. T. It. Jewett was called in by request of Mr. JackHon, and he at once pronounced her C3ndition critical and wrote the proper prescription. Late Monday nulit the patient U csme .suddenly worse, aod shortly before miiiiight died in a fit IDENTIFIED. Tnesday morning the startling and sad disrc very was made that the woman was Miss l.dia E. llus'aby, of Now York City, a lady wVll known here, who during tho past Qe years has spjnt many mouths at the ho.ne of Mrs.Thotiia3 Klines, one of the beat-known resided!- of this place. Shu was known hi all the prominent people of the town, and the fact that h-r lifo ruiht have been sivo 1 had her friends known of her condition makes her death all the more Ead. She wa3 a lady ot many accoaiplis,hmente, und tor many yeara sang in the choir ot Dr. Osgood's Chnich in New York. Her brother, who h connpeted with the J. I- Mott Iron Works of New York, and her sister arrived from New York and at once took charge of the retrains, which had l.iin at the undertaker's since iiiid'shu Miss Rushby was expectcil from New York by Mrs. Klines on Tbankssivins l'y, but it m S3 r ot known by wht tram he wuuid arrive. Hence no one wa at the stat'ori to receivn fcer, and dtirinj the fonr iIrjs when her apraranct was anxiously awaited she was dying in the hmiee of a f tranter not a mile away, and cared for by those upon whom she bad no claiui either o? blood or friendship. It is believed that Mi?s Uaähby when she left the cars it li;e Deroy Dpot wai not Ler right mind Her brother aud frieida think slie was cer tainlv insane. Tns Tr.r.? a co. From inquiry at the Church of the Messiah it was learued that Miss Kashby was a member of Dr. Osgood's choir about ten years a?o. She has not been an attendant of the church of late, and since Dr. Osoi'.'a death, a couple of years ago, nothing has been heard of l:r at the church. RELHJIOUS. Matters of Interest Gathered From the Dureau of Statistics Concerning: the Churches of Indiana.

WHil 13 MALABIAT

A Plan to Successfully Combat a Disease that Iefie Analysis. The occe accepted theory that malaria flourished only in wet, swampy localities, and followed the clearing of large tracts of lande, is no longer tenable, as the majority of its victims are now numbered among inbabitants of cities and long established eettlercent?. Ent leylng aside all questions of theory, we come face to face with the yital question, wbat is malaria? and how is it t3 be successfully vanquished? To the first inquiry we reply, mat aria (bad air) from which the woid is derived, explains its character exactly. Fad air taken into the lungs and dijteniiratcd through the blood, poisons the entire system, aud typhoid fever, malarial fever, diphtheria and other dangerous diseases fol.'ow. Fqually bad effects result from contaminated water, bad drainage, or continued over-exertion, as they all cause lc-t of nerve life, the essence of pnyaical a ell befr jr. Malaial 1 'son cannot be detected by chemU al 1e:s, and ia only known by its eL'fc's npon the system. One ot the worst cases of malaria was that of Mrs. C. F. Eoehen, cf C7 Fifth etreet, Troy, N. . Iler experience, of great value, is eiven.tbat others may receive like benefit. She snfTerednot only from malaria, her com plezlon being of a saffron hue, bnt alsD from the enlargement of the liver. LI er appetite was ravenous, especially tor acids. "One day," says Mrs. Dos'ien, "my physician atked for a sample of iiuid for chemical analysis. I wa3 then passing seven ounces a day. which he reported as 'very bad,' and tbat be CDU li do no more for me, as I had all the indications of bright's disease. I then went to a specialist on Malison avenue, New York, who recommended electricity, saying I had spinal disease. For six months I did not have a natural movement of the bowels. I took in all 125 electrical treatments. I waa mach bloated, and have weighed as high as 17ü pounds. I would have periodsof 8emi-uncoE8ciol3ue(3, seeing my friends, but being unable to con verse. Lacking pains pierced thabanaof my braia. J became so dizzy I could not walk across the floor without suoport. I also to a great extent lost my memory. I thon began to use a preparation I had frequently heard of, but confess I had bat little faith in." "At Erst it madem? deathly sick, but alter tbe bile bad been eliminated I beg An to amend acd dismissed my physician. When I commenced the new treatment I vreighed lot) pounds. In three months I down to my natural weight, 1 10 pounds. 1 have a good appetite, my liver performs iti fanelions, my complexion is good and no one would think from my anpeaasca tbaS I had ever Ken ill. My Haitis are norma!, my boweis neatly improved. My heaipebe and ail diz7.ioe;3 have disappeared." Tb. cai-e of William Wallace Lounslnrv, of 2-'s Lnke street, Chicago, ill., is another remarkable one. Ue says: "In addition to teirg dizzy and havic a sallow complexion, my digestion was very poor and I tnl!red almost continually with severe pains in my bowels. Finally I became too ill to leave my bed. and called in an allopath physician of thirty feven years' practice. He prescribed quinine. AHcr bing in bed a week without receiving any bneat, and having night sweats which colored my linen yellow, I concluded to tike my w iie's a I vice and try Warner's Safe Curo. From the first it helped me, and after taking six bottles, with safe pill?, I was cured entirely of all pain, poar digestion and bloody dischar, a healthy color took the place of a sallow one. and I felt like a new creature." Fiom tho above it will le observed that malaria has no certain localities for its own, but Jurts wherever bad air and warr predomii Tbe only tare ir ethod ti counteract it nois'onnasieOVcts is to check lis lirst development.

SlisS SCAMPER. rrhonifi Dunn English ia llarper'a lazar.l None at the F.arpaquah Sulphur Springs, knew who Miis Scamper was, and few cared to know. She came with n old gentleman, who registered the pair as "S Scamper and granddaughter, New York City." They were doubtless porr folks on a holiday. They had no tervanU with them. The old man wore a euit of ralher rusty b!uck, and his trunk, an antique leathern conveyance, bore the letters H. 6. in brass-headed naila. The yoans woman's Iruni slia had but one w . large enough, and of modern m;Ae, but it w.tt apparently not well filled, since she had shown bnt three dresses all the thren weeks she had remained. Ore of these, of rich material, she wore of evenings; the other two, of some valuable material, wero worn alternately in daytime, ßhe had no jewelry beyond a plain gold brooch. One of the eligible young men there said that "the Scamper has one Sanday-go-to-meetln' and two work-day suits," for which his neighbor should Lave kicLed hi:u, bat he dittn't. The f!i?irde voung man wan looking for an eligible rudta m the teron of Mif 3 Bolsover. t;i tarsal heiress, whui the society paper had sai l was coming to tba Pappaquah, though, as tbe hadn't come, the Brown's young uia-t of thesocitty uaj'cr Iauorel unJer thediusfon. The match-makiBg dowacj did not fear thia modest, pretty and well-cnlturod youcg woman, for tho gilded youth, who were also lying in wait for Miss Bolsover, much more gilded, did not dangle i:i her train. Indeed, she had no train. Her businees was to look after her poor old grandfather, who was cot in good health, and witn whom tho waters seemed to agree. uiuymuB ikhiu. wno naa scrapea an acquaintance with o'd Scamper, as the fellows Irrtverently called him, seamed to be her admirer; but Didymns was nobody. He was well-mad?, tall, handsome, and of good audrtss: but Le wad only an upper clerk ia a Philadelphia insnranca company. To be sure, he wen hi be Superintendent alter January, vice lligins retired and superannuated, and would tben draw a salary of ' Eve Uiousand a year. ILit uo one knew that, end th possible good fortune to poo? Miss Scamper; and had they known, hve thousand a year was no gr.at mattor. So the field wa3 left to Miss S'campr and welcome. Didymns only bvg'in paying attentions to Miss fceamper out of courtesy, aud bscause no one e.Iw did: but tho mors he paw of her the more he liked her, and it euded ia his being badly hit. As be and she wore the only impecunious people at the old and oldfashioned reaort the other visitors counting their dollars well up iu the h andre I thout8!3ds the matter attracted atntion, and by way of getting both out of the way of nianiageble eons and daughters, sbeailng u others lent the aHafr all the quiet enoara;ement ptjsaible. And this oassed into a n)Ore active nature from two little incidents that occurred about tn days before tl e end of ike two month' vacation of Didymus. There wa? ajMis.

"I wish I could carry you about with rae, my dear," the eaül, "Hut do you not Mu? Yon surely must.' "Alitthi." Urged by all around, MU ticaiiif er, to her accompaniment, sang an aria from "11 Trovatore; Her voice proved to l e a rich sapraco. of fall register, clear as a silver bell, and admirably cultivated. There was a moment's pans when 6he had done, as though not to ke a note, and then a storm of applause.. Here w&j a eeuf ation. FiVerybody talked of her method, and the gilded youth were in rapture. Ibe mammas conferred, and concluded that Misa Scamper waa a member of bo me church choir, or attached to some English opera troup who knew? Hat they were civU. There was a party going over to Almont Colonel ParsifaU'e place next day. Would she go? She assented. Diciyidv said to her. In a low voice: 4 It Ia a riuin,: p.irty, Mis Ssarupar. I know tbe beat horse in the 1 1 very stable here, and if yca'll permit me, I'll secure it for yyii." To which she replied iu the same tone: Thank you, Mr. Dodd, you are very kind, but I have one at command already. Get that for yo&rself." fomewbat rebuffed. Didymns colored, but she added: "Mine shall not disgrace you," which was a distinct intimation that Bhe expected him as escort. The spirits 0 Didyrnn rose from zero to blood beat. The next mornin?. as the riders were rf tdy to 6tart, a groom, known to ba one of Colonel Pareif all's, rode up leading a nxagcidcent b!ooded bay horse, eoutpped with a felde-eaddle. Ai they were admlriag the aa-

Jmal, Miss Scamper, in a neat riding habit, inade her appearance. The groom took off his bat Didymns, cot a little astonished, put forth his hand, and the lady vaulted to the back of the horw with easy grace. The ' cavalcade ee t out. Miss Scamper and Didymns together, ard being better mounted than tbe others,, were toon at the head of tbe column. About a mile from the Springs there was a bar in the way. A lofty tulip tree had been blown down during the night, and had fallen across the road, the trunk well up on account of the wild roots. Someone had already cleared a way by letting down fences on the roadside; but Miss Scamper did not go around with the rest. She laced the trunk, the horse went ove r.Jand then trotted on. Didymns faced it too. His brute got over, but half stumbled. Didymns was country-bred, had ridden horses to mill barebacked, and was a half-centaar when a boy; fro be brought his horse up. Miss Scamper trolled approvingly. Everybody admired the ease aud grace with which MLs Scamper managed her borne, and Didymv.s more than everybody. When they arrired at their destinauon the party dispersed in the houee and over the grounds. They found old Scamperther. He had gone over before In a carry all. Almont was the property of Colonel Alocont, and was for sale, with lis fins blooded stock of horees and cattle. Its furniture, Its library and everything in the house andaroundlL The Colenel and his family were in Karope, and intended to stay there while he educated his sons at Heidelberg. 60 he offered the whole a house that cost $lo,0uo, with all its offices ßof all kinds, stab!es, palmerv, grapery aul green houats, furniture made to order, and over l,oO acres of land In a hbh state of cultivation "for," as he said in his letter, '-a mere song." So it was: but, as it was eet to the tune of ?G0O.GyO( there were few- who could render the music. They all admired the place. The ageat, who was there, seized oa the Bcamrers and Didjmus, to whom he showed everything and explained everything. Didymus was amused at this, and whispered to Mhw tfcamper, "He has picked out the only three who could certainly not buy it." Mlzs Scamper, by the twinkle in her eyes, evidently apprecated the fun iu the Eituation. Thea the agent seized old Scamper and draped him otf to look at the blood horses and imported cattle, leaving Didymus and the girl together. "How do you like the place, Mr. DoddV" inquired she. "Like it, Süss Scamper! Why, it is a Garden of Eden; that i, it would be bo to me if I had an Eve in it." The youDg lady smiled and said: "You like country life. then. Mr. Doddf "Naturally,' replied Didymus, "I lived in the country until I waa twenty-two. I was born and bred there. I should have been there yet bat lor the death ot both of my parents. I went to the city in search of fortune. I have done very well for the last f?even years and have put a little by; but to covet a place like this xs like wishing for the moon." "The country is tbe plae to live la arid the city to work in," Eaid Mi3 Scamper, seiitentioiisly. "To live in, I grant you,' if you have tbe means a good farm and money to work It. Otherwise yon toil harder in th9 country than In town, with less comfort and less prodt." Thea they discoursed on rual topiai. with a marvelous unity of eontiaient, until the venerable Scamper and the agent got back, which was at tue time the whole party, each with a nosegay farnlah&d by the trardener frjia the greenhouses, was ready for a return to tbe Springs. There were yet two days of the yona; man's vacation left, when he determined to place his fate at Miss Scamper's disposal at the first opportunity. The chance came that very night. That evening a number were ?aied oa ihn veranda enjoying the moonUgbt. Mba Scamper aat apart from the rest, in heavy shadow, with her grandfather. The old peutle:uan roe wheu Oodd came and le.lt Miss Scamper made room for Didymns at her si!e. and ths two b,an tu talkof tiid day's doiu.a. "Ily thu bye,." a:d Didymus, "have yoi Lea.'d that Almost has been sold'" "VfR." "And to the great be:ras, Ml-s Uolsover. I wonder it she will keep old maid's had there?" Miss Scamper laaghed alow, silvery laush, "I presume she will." she said, unless she chsr.ce to marry. Wasn't that a ead eccideai't at tbe mill to-day?" "Very. The man has a wife and five children. I went over to see how tbey were 1 we If they were In pressing n"ed, voa know; hut that part Is all right.

"I believe, Mr Dodd," said the lady, "that you play the part of Iord Hou-jtlful so-nt-titles, especially if some poor womai left w it h tour children should rouse your t,ym p&thiee." "How did yoa knotv ?" he asked. "A little bsrd told me," bhe said. "Yoa not only paid Mrs. Grant's rent, but, got her eldest boy employment, and then fairly ran a ay to avoid her thanka. She was full of yoar praises." "Uut fibfc did nol knew my Dama," said DMymus. "Prue. But don't you rvmembsr that a veiled lady sat there the last tlrae you came? Tbat waa I.
