The Inauguration.

From the remarks made in many OF
the papers on the fact hat the inaugu-
ration day comes on Sunday, we should
infer that there is q misrepresentation in
the minds Of many persons as to what the
Inauguration consists of. Not a few may

sion that they are to witness some Impo-
sing ceremony. There is, in fact, no
pageant about it, unless the proceedings
in the senate chamber may be considered
as such, and these are witnessed by only
a very small number of persons. The
senate is opened by an appropriate prayer
by the chaplain, when the new members
are sworn in; then the Vice President
makes his appearance, takes the oath,
and makes a short address. The floor OF
the senate is crowded with members Of the
various officers of the army and navy in
full uniform, the foreign ministers in their
various fanciful court dresses, and the
nine judges of the Supreme Court in
black gowns, the effect of all which is rath-
er imposing than otherwise. A new MEM
Der of the senate, some years ago, not be-
ing familiar with diplomatic costumes, on
seeing the foreign ministers enter, turned
round to a neighbor, and asked what they
were bringing a band of music into that
small room for?
After the Vice President has made his
speech, the Sergeant-at-arms waits upon
the President-e elect, who soon enters from
an adjoining room, usually accompanied
by the retiring President, and his private
Secretary. They take seats in front of
the Secretary's desk, and then the Ser
geant-at-arms reads out the order of pro-
c%ession, and the whole company, ifthe day
is pleasant, proceeds to the eastern por-
tico, where the President delivers his
inaugural address; and Immediately after
takes the oath, administered by the Chief
Justice of the United States, and the GER
emory is ended.
In all this it will be observed that the
oath is the only thing essential. This is
a very solemn act; and there can certainly
be no more appropriate day than the day
devoted to the service of God, for such an
act. Were we in Gen. Taylor's position
we should take the oath on Sunday morn
ing in the presence of the ,~chief-justice
and judges of the court, at the Presidents
house or the Capitol, and then make a
speech on Monday. However, it is notlike-
ly to be a matter of such moment, even if
there be no President on the 4th, for if any
emergency should arise, the oath conld be
at any time administered.

"GoD AND L1BERrY!"-We perceive
that in some of the Western papers the
late message of President Polk closes with
this famous Mexicen motto. 1t was no
doubt %gratuitously prefixed by some of
the teIegraphic reporters in their great
joy at finishing so aborious a task. The
Louisville Journal suggests, however,
that possibly the words were inserted by
the President himself, for the benefit of
our new fellow-citizens in New Mexico
and California.

TIKI BACHELORS BALL.-The Southern
Sentinel adverts to a ball which; is inten-
ded to be given by those excellent fellows,
though unnecessary letters in the al
phabet of life, the Model Bachelors, in
celebration of Gen. Taylor's accession to
the Presidency. The affair, should it take
place, will be n of magnificent pro-
portions, and conducted, no doubt, in the
spirit and style with which displays ofthis
kind have been and always will be carried
out by the boys of the Crescent City
Picayune.

Cure for the Cholera.

for the cholera, which appeared in our
paper some time ago. 1t is taken from an
elaborate series of papers recently laid
before the London Board of Health, and
was furnished by a distinguished officer
of rank, long a resident in India
Cure for the Cholera.-Ingredients.-
Assafntida, opium, black pepper, pulve-
rized-these ingredients, more or less
pure, will be found in every town and
village.
The dose for an adult is from a grain
and a half to two grains each, made into
a pill. This according as the ingredients
are pure or otherwise. If pure, one and
a half grains will suffice.
The medicine should be made up into
pills ofone dose each, and kept for use in
a phial well closed, as it is of great i'm
portance to check the desease the instant
of its attack.
The best mode of administering the
pill is not by swallowing it whole, lest it
be elected in that state, but by chewing it,
and swallowing it with the moisture of
the mouth, and a very little brandy and
water to wash it down. The next best
way of administering the medicine is by
b%ruising the pill in a spoonful of brandy
and water, and then swallowing it.
Much liquid must not be given; but to
relieve the thirst, which is great, brandy
and water by spoonsfull, occasionally, is
the best mode.
The dose should be repeated every half
or three quarters of an hour, according to
the urgency Of the symptoms, until they
have been subdued, From three to five
doses have generally been sufficient for
this, although as many as eight have been
given before health has been restored in
bad cases.
Should great prostration of strength
prevail, with spasm, or without spasm, af-
ter the other symptoms vomiting, pur-
ging, &c. have been subdued, the medi-
cine must not be wholly left off, but given
in half or quarter doses, so as to keep up
the strength, and restore the pulse.
Friction, with stimulating Iiniments Of
some kind, ought to be applied carefully
to the stomach, abdomen, and legs and
arms; and when pain in the stomachha
been severe, and there was reason to fear
congestion of the liver, eight or ten grains
of calomel have been given with good eff
feet.
In cases of collapse and great prostra-
ton of strength, application of the tour
niquet to the arms has been recommended,
in order, as it were, to husband the vital
power by limiting the extent of the circu.
%lation. This may be tried, using a liga-
ture oftape or other substance if the tour-
niquet be not available.
The favorable symptoms Of recovery
are restoration of the pulse, returning
warmth ofthe body, and sleep; and, after
being refreshed by sleep, the recovery be-
ing complete, a dose of castor-oil may be
given"
There are a minuteness of detail and
a plausible prescription in all of the above
that must bespeak for it a careful perusal,
if nothing more, and we hope it will at
tract general attention. Cut out the re-
cipe and preserve it, and if circumstances
should ever unfortunately warrant a trial
ofits virtues, no harm will come of putting
it to the test, at all events.-DeHa.

The LEGIsLATURE.-There was quite
a stampede among the members of the
Legislature yesterday; they heard exagger-
ated reports of the Cholera Morbus, and
these at once inspired them with a most
ardent desire to visit their wives and little
ones, and see how the sugar grinding
and cotton picking were going on. When
the able and urbane speaker took the
chair, he found a whole pile of members
pay warrants before HIM, filled up for the
per diem TO next Wednesday, the day of
adjournment, and awaiting only his sig
nature. He thought it was "crowding the
mourners" a little too fast, and in his own
courteous way, informed hon. members
that they must excuse him if he omits, at
that stage of their proceedings, to give
them leave of absence, which, signing
their warrants would be virtually doing.
But it was no use; seat after seat became
vacated, and when, in the course of the
day, a call of the House was made, 10!
there was no House-that is, there was
nota quorum present. Some seem to think
that a quorum will not be found on Mon
day or thereafter. We should hope that
there will be. The appropriation for the
support of the public schools has yet to
come back to the House, and, we trust,
that the members would not so far forget
their duty to the State as to leave without
consummating at least that measure
