SPECIFIC CURE ron CHoLERA.--We call
the attention of physicians to an alleged discov-
cry Of certain cure for Cholera by DIR Bird OF
Chicago. Influenza and Cholera are dependant
upon the presence Of n substance in the atmos-
phere called aSone, according to DR.. Bird. He
AYERS that at the present time the air is charged
with this substance, and that the number Of at.
tacks Of cholera is in proportion to its amount,
in all its variations. He believed that Sulphur
would neutralize the influence Of this agent and
accordingly tried it. Every one who was troubled
with uneasy sensations, pains in the stomach aud
bowels, &C., which more or lea atilict every
one where cholera exists, was Immediately re-
lieved by single dose Of three or four grains.
an cases where either cramps, diarrhea or
vomiting have been present, or where they have
ell existed in conjunction, the use Of Sulphur,
in the above named Doses every three or four
hours, has had the effect to amelorate the pa
tents condition at once, and when used, in few
Now we believe this remedy worth the trial
In tho first place, it is no secret remedy In the
second, it claims to be founded upon scientific
truth and in the third, il has been tried, and
its effects are 50 marked that those who have
witnessed them declare Sulphur to be specific
for cholera" Dr. Bird suggests that a combina-
ton Of charcoal, with one part to four of Sui
phur, will be more efficient This combination
however, comes with no facts to recommend il.
DR.. Bird telegraphed to New Orleans the ma
ture Of his discovery, and requested that bis
remedy might be tried. 1t was tried upon pa
tients in the collapsed state, and the next day
he received reply that it produced the desired
eAacts We presume that Il will DO tried ia

SECRET OF LIVING ALWAYS EAsY.-An
Italian bishop having struggled through great
difficulties without complaining, and met with
much opposition in the discharge Of his Episco-
pal functions, without ever betraying the least
impotence, an intimate friend of his, who high
ly admired these virtues, which be considered Il
impossible to initiate, one day asked the prelate
If he could tell him the secret of being always
easy. ayes" replied the old man, 81 can teach
you my secret, and will do 50 very readily. II
consists in the use of my eyes" His friend beg
ged him to explain. "Siost willingly" said the
bishop. SIN whatever state am, first OF al
look up to heaven, and remember that my prin
cipal business here is to get there; then lool
down upon earth, and call to mind the space
shall soon occupy in it; then look abroad int
the world, and observe what multitudes there
are who in all respects have more cause to b.
unhappy than myself Thus learn whore tru'
happiness is placed, where all our cares mus
end, and how very little reason have to repin'
or complain"

LIME Us. CHoLERA.--In the summer Of 1882,
when the cholera spread all over Middle Ten
nessee, its course from Nashville (where il first
made its appearance) was South The authori-
ties Of Columbia, town forty-two miles South
of Nashville, and containing about 1000 inhabi-
tants, caused fresh lime to be placed at the door
OF every house, and the citizens weTs requested
to spread il freely on their premises in the gut
ter, and in all open lots where there was any
stagnant water. Il soon reached Franklin, 10
miles South of Nashville then Pulaski, so
miles South of Columbia, where it was terrific
thence to Shelbyville, East Of Columbia As miles,
where it was worse than at any other place in
Tennessee two miles North of Columbia, in
the country, it was very bad nearly half Of the
negroes and whites died on some plantations
In fact, il was all over the surrounding country,
Not case originated in town. The system Of
lining continued throughout the summer and
fall, and il was found that the usual fall feyers
were very light, SO much so that the custom Of
lining has been strictly adhered to annually even
since, and from sickly town, it is now one Of
the healthiest in Tennessee.

EprrrNa PAPER.-The majority of read
ers seem to think that nothing can be more easy
or pleasant than to edit paper; but Of all the
different employments by which men get their
bread and butter, there is none, we believe, that
90 taxes the mind, temper and flesh, as ihai Of
editing paper. There is none that requires
nicer tact, a sounder judgment, more constant
application, quicker wit, or kinder heart
A churlish man could never succeed as an cd
itor, nor narrow-minded one, nor an ignorant
one, nor hasty one, nor an unforgiving one:
An editor must, Of necessity, turn himself IN
side out to the public. He cannot be hype-
critic, any more than husband can be hypo,,,
critic to his wife He must expose himself IN al
tbat he does as much in selecting the thoughts
Of others, as in expressing his own; and the bet
ter way for him in the outset, is to begin frank
ly, and save himself from after contradictions
Whoever succeeds tolerably well as an editor, i
something more than an ordinary man, let hi'
Contemporaries say or think what they will.

Ep,rontAI DrFyrcULrIRs.--The very best
thing wa have seen on this subject lately, and
which suits our present situation, is what the
Upland Union says Next to poverty, deiin-
onent subscribers, and duns--to which most cd
itors are subject-the greatest difficulty Is 70
please the public. For 50 great u tho variety
Of public tastes and feelings, that had the con,
ductor of periodical paper as many heads and
as many pens as his paper has readers, he could
never hope to please al; for they cannot please
themselves. Does he speak out in language
plain and simpler II IS nero common place
tbe taste of the learned is not grathed; it Il
Ct only for the vulgar. Does he aspire to eio-
ouence? The unlearned cannot understand
and the learned regard him as pedantic fellow,
dabbling in something he has no pretensions TO-
Does he show his colors and boldly contend for
his ground2 He is too severe. Does be hide
himself beneath mass Of equivocating matter I
He is temporizing hypocrite. If he publish
extracts better than he can write, he has no tai
emf of his own 10 display; and if he fills his pa
ner with original matter, he might have given
something better from the works of others. Il
he attempts TO philosophize, it is dull and unin
teresting; and II he writes on plain and iamiial
subjects. every body knew them before. Doe
he try 10 instruct? He needs TO be instructed
Does he use his cndeavors 10 amusef lie y
liqht and triAng. People generally are fond o
being praised; and one would suppose this migh.
satisfy them. But let an editor Dry the experi
mcnt, and he will soon find out his mistake; 70
such is the power Of envy that no one will thani
him for praising him, and every one will hat
him for praising others Most people are font
of having their neighbour faults exposed bn
If you make an attempt to point out either tn
vices or the follies Of mankind, every one vii
find something applicable to himself, and her
again YOU encounter the hatred Of the Who'll
mass. Every person can tell you how 70 con
duct paper to please HIMSELF and of course I
offend every one else. These being stubborn
facts there & no alternative but for an editor
please himself, il he can, and hazard the conse
quences II he does this, he will be certain !
satisfy one, which is more than he is sure of,
he tries to please all.--ISauannah Republican.
