The cholera continues its ravages in the old world. It has got as for as Rome in Italy and Vienna in Austria. Judgin; from the reports those hardy foreigners are not easily alarmed. Nothing short of a scourge like that with which Spain was visitel last year seems to arouse them, unless it is an earthquake or an olection. .«aro» The British elections are remitting un- favorably to Gladstone and Home Rule. The indications are that the Conserva- tives, who are united in their opposition to the scheme, will have a sufficient fol- lowing to sustain a government by Salis- bury, independent of the Unionists and other factions that are at variance with the Liberal party only on the Home Kulo is- sue. It is another demonstration of the fact that union and victory-^divisioh and dis- aster go hand in hand. The Congressional fight in this District is commencing to take unto itself form. The various candidates for Congress are emerging from the regions of uncertainty and reluctance and may soon be expected to hove in sight. The\'unanim6us voice of the people\ has already brought out five of them- seeujinfJ! pirattox, 'tis'true;,but explaina- ble on the theory that the successful one has yet to be chosen. ST. LAWBE^OB\insriVEESITY. The College of Letters and Science ot St. Lawrence University has raised the Macedonian cry. The College has been struggling for some years back for an ex- istence. The trustees find that the insti- tution can no longer do efficient work without additional endowment, as pro- fessors of ability cannot be retained with- out larger salaries than the present re- sources of the college afford them. The appeal for aid has so far met witli a liberal response. Canton, the University seat, has come down handsomely and lib- eral subscriptions from various quarters have been acknowledged. Already an additional endowment of nearly $30,000 has been subscribed, The trustees ask for $100,000, with $50,000 as the least pos- sible amount with which the work of the college can be continued. It is to be hoped that the people of St. Lawrence county will take sufficieritfpride in their College and University, which is the only institution capable of giving a thorough University course and granting degrees in Northern New York, to place it on a firm substantial basis. The College has done good work in the past. It has given a University training to about 200 graduates who have gone forth into the world and whose subsequent careers have reflected the highest credit on their Ahna mater. The University of St. Lawrence is nor a sectarian one. Adherence to no particu- lar church is required to enjoy its benefits, and various denominations are represented among its professors and students. The theological school in connection with it is Universalist. Let St. Lawrence University be given such an endowment as will place it beyond the reach of financial embarrassment for all time to come. The Near York Sim is nguin booming Samuel J, Tilden for the presidency. However orratio Ool. Robort G. Ingor- sol! may bs in his religious views, or rath- er lack of them, few men talk bettor sense on worldly affairs. Speaking of la bor organizations the other day lie said their sphere of operations wart not \the strike\ but the ballot box. Let the hard handed sons of toil come to an under- standing, comprehend just what they want, and vote for it. They will got it the first time, NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Those who take the Anvrciii'ismi will please bear in mind that our terms are STJHOTT.Y IN ADVASCK. As there are a good many who have not paid their subscriptions, wo will state i for their information that those who pay be- fore August 1st, will be charged only $1 00. Those subscriptions not paid before that date will be charged §1.25. This is a universal newspaper rule and is neces- sary in order to conduct the business suc- cessfully. Our patrons will see the rea- sonableness of it. The first regular through train from Brockvillo to Victoria, Vancouver Island, started on July 4th. The occasion was not accompanied with any public demoii- stiation, although the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, built, owned and run by one company, is the most gi- gantic railroad achievement of the age. Passengers are not required to change cars from the time they leave Brockvillo, on the St. Lawrence, until they sniff the breezes of Esquimau Harbor <m the Par eific ocean'. ....\- , . -< Tothfepvemier, .Sif'ftbhn A-. ijacdonaVA, the eredit of the rapid cpmpleiipn ot this •grand transcontinental railroad is largely' due. It has been his pet scheme for many years, and, although having frequently expressed the opinion that he never ex- pected to see it built during his life-time, the road is now completed from starting point to terminus. Sir John intends tak- ing an excursion trip over it befo>e long. He deserves it. WASHINGTON DALE, A Man as Old as the United States. — A Contemporary of Qeonje Washington. — 1G5 Descendents. — An Interesting Story Teller. Washington Dale, [colored] of Kansas City, who was born July, 4, 1776 is still alive and hearty. \Uncle TfVash,\ as he is known by the children who come daily to hear his storios, often waited on George •Washington and was an attendant at his funeral. The old man is brimful of stories and takes great pleasure in relating them-. He is very polite and has .Ja salutation for every one that passes its he sits under the shade of a peach tree in front of his modest cottage. \Uncle Wash\ is as old as the United States, as a separate nation, having been b.jrn on the first Fourth of July that meant anything to the country. He saw Gen. Jackson muster his men at the old Mox- ville muster grounds. He also says that he saw the first steamboat that ever came up the river. It was a gala day and. the people came for miles to see the sight. He thinks the name of the steamer was the \LiitleRcd.\ Wash Dale is married for the seventh time. His present wife is only 35, He has 4 sons, the oldest being 78; 15 daugh- ters the oldest of whom is 60, 48 grand- children and 98 great-grand-ctntdreu. He has used tobacco since he was a boy and has teeth well preserved. Politically \Uncle Wash\ is a democrat and voted for every democratic candidate' ttit presi- dent slnco tho war, his- last vote ttciiitc for Grovcr Cleveland; The Canton excursion to the 1,000 Islands, will occur on August 13th. ,.. .The warm weather of the past week has drawn thousands to the river. Tim hotels are now rapidly filling up and the steamers bring daily excursions to see the sights and inhale the oiivigomliug-breezes of iho over glorious St. Lawrence. There are already several arrivals from foreign 'countries, including lion. Mr. . tWvioe, ex-Premier of Victoria, Australia. ....Mr. and Mm. JAissell, of the Tal- mage excursion party, who remained to \do\ the river more thoroughly, had a narrow escape from drowning last week. They took u sail in a fishing skill and got swamped in Poplar Bay. Their cries for help attracted the attention of J. W. Robinson and J. Cole, who were stopping at Round Island, and when those good Samaritans reached the unlucky pair the lady had sunk twice and was almost un- conscious. Thoy were both safely rescued. Patrick ' Ford, of the New York Irish World, and brother Augustine, are at tngluhiirt cottage, Westminister Park, for the season. ..... An excursion of Brooklyn teachers arrived at Round'Island last Saturday. ... .Allen's Park, under the manage- ment of Mr. Bishop, continues to be a popular resort. Wo understand Mr. Bis- hop mn'kes every effort to improve the reputation of the park. HAMMOND MABKETS. Flour Lard' wj.. Maple Sugar,. Potatoes!
