The ravages of the cholera In Spain continue to be frightful. Already there have been over 70,000 reported deaths, and the mortality now averages fully VfiOO a dav. It will be two months at least before the weather will havo any appreciable effect In diminishing the di sease, and by that time the number of deaths will, no doubt, be largely over 100,000. This Is by long odds the most destructive epidemic of this generation, and the secret of Its power no doubt lies in the filthy condition of Spanish towns, and the Ignorance of Its Inhabitants. There Is no sanitary system in Spain, and next to no sanitary knowledge. If .Spain had engaged in a foreign var,and lost 100,000 of her subjects in battle.she would be thought to havo suffered a tremendous loss. Is the loss really less, when her people arc slain by disease in stead of the sword? In compliance with tho law prohibit ing the employment of minors under fourteen years of age In the mines and under ten years In the breakers, the prominent coal mining firm of Ario Par dec & Co. have discharged all their em ployes under the stipulated ages. The other collieries In the Lehigh region, with one or two exceptions, art comply ing with the law. The entire number of Uojs aflected by tho regulation will be over one- thousand, who had found employment in the forty-cicht mines of tho district. In ansjver to questions as to the propriety or advantage of putting Hungarian and Slavonian slate-pickers in the breakers, a prominent colliery foreman says that tho change would not create any serious trouble, as-It has been reported, but the foreigners could bo made rather fair workers after consider able piactice. H Is a fact, howcver,that ue good boy Is worth two Inexperienced men at the occupation of coal cleaning. The only difficulty anticipated from the the change is in the form of complaints about the fiul after it reaches the city markets. THE PROHIBITIONISTS. The State Prohibitionists assembled in convention at Harrlsburg Tuesday. A. A. Doner, of Cambria county, State iliitiimaii, called the convention to or ler. and A. A.

SouTur.ns Piste, N.C., Aug. 22. The coaches on the Richmond nnd Danville Itailroail are models of elegance and comfort. A fair rale of speed is made on all of the Company's lines, and when tho traveler seats himeclf in the wcstwaid-houud train at Ilaleigh at five o'clock in tlio "evening," as they call it In the South, he naturally gives a sigh of relief. After awhile the conductorcomes along, and us hcpitnchcs'your ticket, oh serving that your destination is SALEM, there comes a far-away, longing look in his eyes, and as he goes down the aisle on the round of duty, you know that he wishes that for a few days he could be an opulent newspaperman and find com fort in the clansic shades of the most in teresting town of the Old North Statc,ir stead of being a horny-handed conductor with nothing better than silver spoons to Gti r his cofl'ce with. Whoever visits Salem for the first time will be astonished when the train stops and he unds himself assailed by a compe tent corps of 'bus drivers nnd hotel run ners, reminding him of more pretentious cities. Hut of such things is our exis tence composed; to-day we are feasting on Forsyth county fruit, and to-morrow we have to content ourselves witli quail on toast at Gicensboro. HIE FIRST TREE was felled on the bite of Salem, January 0. 17GG, by a small band -f bravo Mora vians who, after much searching, had de cided that the land now known as a part of Forsyth county was the finest location that could be chosen for building pleasant homes in the then unbroken wilderness of tho South. In February the bravo little hand moved into a log house, and thus it chronicled the beginning of the plcasantcst little city in the South. If wn were to call Salem a twin we would say that her mate's name is Ileth leliem, whose home is by the side of the Lehigh river, in a beautiful valley of Pennsylvania. Jlolli are Moravian towns, both are old, both are beautiful. There ire many tilings of the one that resemble the other. Gen. Lafayette, of Revolu tionary fame, was in Iictlilchem. Gen. Washington wn. in Salem. To the Moravians were granted E0.9S5 acres of land, to which they gave the beautiful name of aehovia, on account of its resemblance to a place of that name in Austria, formerly possessed by Count Zinzcudorf. The meaning of the name it "tho meadow lands along the principal creek." MORAVIAN CUSTOMS. There are some curious features about the Moravian Church. One of tlio Mor avian customs is that the married people, widows, young men and women, youths and children have each a festival day set apart, during which appropriate services are held in tho church. Tho society never allows any of its members to become objects of charity. A largo brick building, known as tho Sis ter's House, is provided for maiden ladies who by tho chance of fate have been left alone. Their rest is nominal, and they are given a chance to cam their own liv ing. If they cannot pay their rent it is given them, so that they feel that their temporal wants arc always provided for. lhcrc is another house called the Widows' House, in which widows find tho samo chance for taking care of them selves that their sisters have ns detailed above. This house was originally de signed for the men of tho congregation who had Income unable to take care of themselves; but the widows carried the day, their needs being considered the more pressing. Another curious feature of tiio Mora vian society is tho modo of announcing tho death of a member of the church. This is done by tlio members of the hand of the church, who ascend to the steeple of tlio church, and play music according to the sex, and also to the church posi tion of the deceased. Those who are posted in the music and tho composition of the four choirs of tho church can tell pretty accurately whoso eouI has depart ed as soon as they hear the notes of the sad music. Originally trombones alone were used, but now cornets and other in struments enter into the composition of the band. CEDAR AVENUE. In front of the graveyard is the justly renowned Cellar Avenue, one of the finest pieces of combined natural beauty and art of man that tho human eye has ever rested upon. It is very wide, and on tlio extreme edgo of both sides cedar trees wero planted over one hundred ycai s ago. These trees are now largo and tall, and very beautiful. No wagons are allowed to.drivo over tho road, which runs ex actly through the centre, being bordered on both sides with a widu belt of green- eward. It would be considered a sacri lege, almost, for one to walk on the grass. When Sherman s army passed this way tho officers raised their hats in respect to the place and the quiet inhabitant of the silent city of the dead, over whose slum bers the evergreen cedars seemed lo stand as faithful sentinel. THE ORAVEYjtltD It was a Western lilor, if we remem- lier rightly, who, when asked who he thought would bo tho last man to leave this wicked earth, wild that he didn't kuow,but was willing to try the situation hlrcfclf. That man would change hl ' m!m1 lrr,n lin I, tmnuil n fine ImMfM til tin. ! holy silence and calmly beautiful shades of tho Moravian graveyard at Salenv j Graveyards generally nro not very attractive-places indeed most people keep ns far aay ftb'm, then s thoy conveni ently can. There is uo beauty In tho hodge-podge of little awl 1' gravestones that stand up like spectres to frighten the timid. There ought to be a law to oblige people to have gravestones all cut to the same size in their respective .gravc yards. If there is any rhyme or reason in erecting all sorts and sizes of grave stones we fail to, see what it can be. Tho finest and plainest teaching of the truism that "death levels all" is to be found in a Moravian graveyard. All tho grates, arc the same size. A child has as large a grave as the largest man, and the prince doesn't get a shovelful moro dirt over his remains than does the pauper, only there are no Moravian paupers. The gravestones all lie flat on the well kept mounds, and but few of them have more than tho name and ago of tho sleeper ongraved Uon them.- The Salem graveyard is bctuitifttlly shaded with ce dar trce.,and theground is thickly coated with cool, velvety grass. In tho north ern section repose the remains of the maiden sisters and the girls who have been gathered to the "great majority," The southeast section is the resting place of the single men and boys. The married men slumber in the southwestern section,, while the married women rest sweetly In the northwestern section. One cannot help feeling that the silent city before him is u city of rest. And it seems comforting to those who have nn interest in that "God's Acre" to feci that after tho "heat and burden of the day" havo been faithfully borne, they may be as one who " wraps the drapery ot tils couch about j 1 1 in And lies down to pleasant dreams." OEjf. Washington's visit. On May 31st, 1791, President Wash ington visited Salem. lie was on a visit to Alexander Martin, Governor of North Carolina. lie remained there one dav and a night, and attended divine service in the Moravian church. lie visited the houses of the Single Drctlicrn and the Single Sisters, and saw all the sights that wore to be seen in the little village. The town boasted of a water works, pump logs leading to the water from a spring on the hillside to the village below. Tho noble old patriot examined the "water works''v.'ilh a deep interest and expressed himself as deeply pleased with their ef ficiency. When the news went forth thnt ho was to honor Salem with his presence there was groat excitement. The hotel at which he was to stop was the centre of attraction. The proprietor with a wise forethought sent men to prepare a huge stick of timber, which he fastened beneath the floor on which the chieftain was to sleep, and where he also was to hold his reception, for fear tho iloor would give way beneath the weight of thosowho would pay their respects to him who was "first 111 war, first in peace, nnd first in tlio hearts of his country men." The room in which the noble Wash ington slumbered is still intact. The heavy stick of timber is still retained in jiosition, and the writer feels that he has been on eaercd ground because his eyes have rested cm objects that were gazed upon by Washington, ar.d because lie has breathed the air in the identical room ulicro Washington slept. The trip between Jlethlchcm, Pennsyl vania, and Salem, North Carolina, U a long one not long now, in this age of steam, but long as the 'forefathers of the hamlet" used to make the journey. It took from two to three weeks to cover the distance on foot, but as the early set tlers had considerable more time than money, they did not mind :i little tiling like n few weeks, more or less. Game was plentiful in the forests, the streams were alive with fish, and there was con sequently no need of providing scrip fur the journey. Deerwereso plentiful that they wero killed for their skins, which were exported by the way of Charleston, S. C, to tho larger markets. 1 he Moravian church was built in 1800. It is 11 large biick structure, with an open steeple, and will stand for generations yet to come. The organ in tho church was built especially for the building.Thc pieces were brought from Pethlehem in a wagon and were placed in position in Salem. riltE rilECAUTIONS. Tho founders of Salem had a righteous dread of fire. They had seen the torch pplied by treacherous savages, and hud heard the despairing crv of the unfortu nate settler as ho saw his carthlv all re- hiced to ashes. These clear-headed pio neers of civilization believed that nine- tcnths of the fires in the village were caused by carelessness rather than acci dent. They believed that the right way to protect is to be careful, and so a rule was made at a very early day fully one hxnured years ago that once every vear the premises of every inhabitant should ho inspected by a committee appointed for that purpose. Their duty is to hunt out fire traps. The result is that from the time that the Salem hotel burned, over a hundred years ago, there has been but one fire.and that happened vearsago. during tho war. Wo know many cities and towns that would act wisely if they were to protect their property as well as do tho authorities of Salem. In Salem the chimneys must be burned out often, and u ono catches fire in a dry season tlio owner is fined. F, P. Woodward. Broadbrim's Hew York Letter. Suecial to the Caruon Advocate. By the signs of the times It looks very much as if thero was going to be lively work in the stock market as soon ns our summer birds get back. In a couple of weeks they will be rushing home, and as nvwt of tlia liot weather has been passed In figuring hoiv to do It, there Is no manner of doubt but something will be done. I met a man 011 Wall street no matter about, his name but It's the name of a very sharp operator, and one with a groat deal more than tho average Wall street conscience; lie is a power on tho street cool at an Iceberg, with j nerves that would do .for springs for a locomotive. I asked him, How Is the , market? Poomlng, said he, booming. Ilut what Is a food thlngtn buy, I asUd. liny? buy anything, ho said they are all going up together. Now that man Is a constitutional Bull, and though he has been ruined several times, like a good eat ho ias contrived to land on his lect evwy time, and when the Dears tlwwghl they had hiui for provender he has turned on his tormentors ami taught them snch a lesson that they have been exceedingly cautious how they went for him again. He can sen as far Into a millstone as most men, and on his judg. went Iprognostlcatc a considerable booni lu stocks. Thero fiyrc certain Infallible signs that indicate therlscjuot comfort ing signs, but almost unerring! l.'snyj not comforting, for t,hey point to tho success of giant monopoly. Two of the most gigantic monopolies havo struck hands where before they loeked horns the New York Central and Pennsylvania Central, and these two corporations, ab sorbing all the collateral lines on their routes, control with them entry Into Isew lorkclty. The Western Union stamps out opposition after opposition till It holds tho enttro communication of the country, by telegraph,. In its grasp. It Is In vain that Invention after Inven Hon simplifies and multiplies tho wcth ods of telegraphy. Each new Invention, as soon as It Is tested and proved, Is re morselessly swallowed up. by this grasp ing monopoly. Opposition with them all continues up to the point of destruc tion and dissolution. Vanderbllt no sooner gets possession of tho West Shore than up goes the fare from one to two cents a mile, which Is tho fare nl- lowed by law. Tho Western Union, when it strikes tho opposition of the Baltimore and Ohio, telegraphs quite reasonably, but It costs as much to tele graph a few miles out on Long Island, or even across tho river from Brooklyn to New York, as it does to the city of Washington, two hundred and fifty miles away. It is pretty evident now that there Is a combination of all these elements the Standard Oil Company included, to boom stocks for their own salvation. A strike on tho Gould svs tern of roads may slightly Intorferc, but tho effect will be Imperceptible. For every' Knight of Labor who strikes, un fortunately the necessities of a dozen compel them to fill the vacant places, The hand of monopoly lies heavily on the poor, and it Is difficult to sco tho end. The condition of tho labor market was well Illustrated at the Nnvv Yard In Brooklyn. About two months ago the Navy Yard was cleared of offcnslvo partisans ns clean as a shot gun. Five hundred and sixty offensive partisans were kicked out becauso there was no moncv In tho treasury to pay them and no work to do for the King's Navcc. Well, tlio offensive partisans being all disposed of, it was suddenly discovered that several ships In tho Navee needed Immediate repairs, and a nkaso went forth for six hundred men, and on Mon day morning two thousand Inoffensive partisans were gathered around the Navy Yard gates, and every man had a paper In his pocket signed by some prominent politician or the ollicer of his ward association, testifying that ho was a straight Democrat, that he was a member in good standing In his ward association, and that last fall he voted straight for Cleveland and Hendricks. Thero wero only six hundred places and there wero two thousand applicants. And the fourteen hundred that were turned away swore that the whole thing was a swindle from first to last, and that the country was going to the dcinnltlon bow-wows, and the result is that there is trouble In the camp. A relative of George William Curtis has been bounced from tho Custom House, nt which It Is said that George William Is very much wrought, and It Is whispered that ho may shortly look for a stunning leader In Harpers' Weekly on the Ingratitude of lEcpubllcs. Notwithstanding the prognosticated rise, my advice to my friends Is: Let stocks severely alone. The chances are a hundred to one that the stock you buy for a rise is just the stock that won't go up. Let the Bulls and the Bears fight It out among themselves and all get rich together. Tho stock market Is no placo for an outsider, and If after this warn ing one ventures in he deserves to get stuck. To people outside New York it must almost read like a romanco the breaking up of the Mohawk gang. In certain wards of tho city all along the liver front on both sides of the city there have been organized bands of robbers for years. They are generally made up of young men nnd boys whoso ages range from sixteen to twcnty-llvo years. It Is marvellous that such organizations can exist for years with our police, our mili tary and our detective force. This par ticular gang was tho terror of the West side, and such a terror had their name Inspired that when they wero arrested for crime it was almost Impossible to convict them as the witnesses were threatened with death if they appeared against them. Many of them have been sent to States Prison, some -hung nnd others killed in street rows and midnight forays, but the vacant places nro soon filled with new recruits, and the gang lives though the members die. One thing theso vlllians thoroughly appreci ate, and that Is the power of organiza tion; taken singly they are the most ar rant cowards that ever lived. When five or six of them can attack an unpro tected man they are bravo as Hons, but single-handed they never attack any body. The Mohaws had a regular den In the brick yards, from which they sallied out night after night, attacking belated pedestrians, robbing houses, vessels and railroad trains, and living in their den on the proceeds of their plun der. Tho headquarters was a bean Ideal robbers' cavern made of old bricks, piece's of board and canvass chinked up with mud, with an old stove to do the cooking and all the accessories of a thieves' paradise. Every kind Of plun der was discovered there. Some of the villains were sent to the States Prison and others were committed for three months to DlackwelPs Island, There Is something radically wrong In our po lice system or such organizations would be cruthcil out of existence. A gang which makes its headquarters near the Navy Yard In Brooklyn havo amused themselves of late by silting on the Navy Yard wall ami stoning the sentries. Several of the sentries have been severely wounded, and this week the officer In command has supplied the s iitrics with loaded revolvers, command- lng them to shoot the first ruffian that amuses himself In that way. I should be delighted to hear that tho marines had made targets of a dozen or two of them. On Monday night some members of this gang got a lot of rags saturated with kerosene and attempted to lire the house In which was a great many thousands of dollars worth of dry lumber. A soldier 011 guard discovered it in tlmo.tosavo the building, but I regret to add ho did not shoot the incendiaries. All tho vicek wc have had a regular yacht craze, All nloug the docks, at tho dub houses, In the hotels and saloons, you could hear nothing but Purltaln, Prtscilta and Gcnesta. Men worked themselves Into a fever on tho relative merits of the boats, and to hear them talk you would have Imagined that the fate of the State and the Nation depend ed on the result. All of the boats are beautiful models oi the shipbuilder's art, and yachting Is a healthy and man ly amusement. The unpleasant feature of the race was the prominence of tho gambling clement. No one could ex press a preference for cither boat but somo one nt your elbow was ready for a bet. But the sports were doomed to disap pointment for the weather though fine In an agricultural sense was not a good day for sailing yachts. It was a capital day for steam but not for sails, for the sea was as calm as a nilllpoud, and the crack racers about which the sporting world Is going wild, lay rolling on the waves like a lot of old wash tubs. It was a grievous disappointment to the thousands that went down on steam boats and othcrcraft, and the thousands moro who from every "coign of vantage" lined the Long Island and Statcn Island shore. From a landscape standpoint the sight was one of the most beautiful that has been seen on this New York Bay for many a day. There were large delegations from all the outside clubs, and the whole lower Bay was covered with the white winged racers. All tho boats In the race aro models of the beautiful In naval architecture. It Is the toss up of a penny between them, though it Is thought by many that for hard rough work tho Gcnesta Is the boat; with light winds it is possible that cither the Prlscella or Puritan can beat her hut with the wind that a true yachtsman loves just ot present, before the matter Is satisfactorily decided the Gcnesta has the call. All of the crews and ofllcers on the different boats arc as fine as lino can he,hut the Gencsta crew, for real genuine saltiness and everything that goes to make up the Simon Pure Jack Tar carry off the prize against anything I ever saw. A remarkable arrest was mado In the moral city of Brooklyn early In the week for drunkenness, a father, mother.two sons and two daughtecg, and the whole batch was sent to the Penitentiary; the father for a year, and the sons and daughters for six months each.

I was Informed to-day, on good au thority, that the Secretory of the Nay will soon Issue an order to navy officers similar to that recently Issued by Secre tary Endlcott, with relation to army of ficers on detached duty. Tho navy regulations require that ofllcers shall servo three years at sea and thrco on shore, returning at the end of the latter period to sea duty. Complaint has been made by somo ofllcers that they did not receive their full time on shore. To remedy any such evil that may exist, two officers, one from the Hue and one from the staff, will probably be detailed at an early date to keep a record show ing the kind of work olUccrs are cm ployed on and the length of time that they have been engaged. A hen three years of shore duty have elapsed, the olUccrs will be sent to sea. It Is said at tho Navy department that If such an order Is Issued thero would not bo more than ten or twelve officers affected by It, Senator and Mrs. Logan aro still com fortably situated In their Iowa Circle home, but expect to leave Washington next week for a trip to the Thousand Islands, on the St. Lawrence river. They havo not agreed upon the length of thclrstay, but do not expect to return to Washington for at least two month. Orders have been Issued at the Post- oflice Department, directing that here after the cases of all postmasters report ed as being delinquent shall be acted upon Immediately. Heretofore these cases nave been laicen us nicy were reached In the ordinary course of routlno business, and it has frequently happened that delinquent postmasters have re mained In office long after their delin quency had been discovered and report ed upon. The War Department authorities Uo not expect that the cattlemen will have entirely complied with tho terms of the President's proclamation for tho evacu ation of Indian Territory by tho expira tion of the forty days allowed them, hut they aru Informed that the Intruders are on the march and aro removing so rap- Idly that military Interference would not expedite matters. G en. M lies has taken an amplo force to tho scene, but does not expect to be called upon. The transfer of gold coin from tlio sub-treasury at San Francisco to the sub-treasury at New York through the mails has been resumed. A package containing $300,000 arrived In New York yesterday. The amount shipped by mall Is about $11,000,000. It Is learned that the original Intention was to have transferred the gold from San Francisco to Now York on U. S. war vessels by way of the Isthmus of Panama during the recent possession of that territory by the Ui S. naval forces. The troops were withdrawn, however, before the plan could be put In operation, and the malls wero resorted to. The statement has bccn.made that the Civil Service Commission will protest against two appointments, which It is alleged are contrary to Civil Service law. One of these appointments is that of j Mr. Haynle, of Illinois, as confidential . clerk, and private secretary to First As sistant Postmaster General Stevensor. I The fact Is that before Mr. Haynle was 1 appointed the Civil Service commission-, era were Inquired of and said that no examination was necessary. The other appointment referred to is that of Mr. Daniels ns telegraph operator In the First Assistant's oiUcc. That appoint- tticnt Is specially provided for by law and Is wholly without tho yrovlslons of tho Civil Service and ts so dealgnatcd. Around Pleasant Corner.
