The Present Administration.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald pays the following deserved tYibate to the administration of President Polk
 1.-The President and his cabinet have been busily engaged for time past in preparing their GUS tomary documents for Congress. They are now nearly completed. The present administration will retire under peculiarly gratifying circumstances iiseiE Al no period of our history the con- monwealth in more prosperous and aourishiDg condition. It is all very well 10 get up denuncia- lions of the government of the last four years; but iu the face of all such talk, the isct stands proui- neatly forward that the uuited States, at the close of protracted and expensive war, the envy of the word whether as regards their prosperous con ditlon at home, or their high standing abroad. To one the nefi, this prosperity be attributed m higher degree than the present able Secretary of the Treasury. He suggested and has earned out that bold system of enlarged commercial policy which has not only sied to wealth, but raised up for himself a name as hnaneier as b,gh as his policy has been successful

MRS. M ADISON.


We ANNOUNCED in our last paper, the dccease
of this venc, able lady. She was born onIhe
Goth May, hf67, new style which makes be,
to be 80 years month and % days old, at Che
time of her death. From sketch of her lif,.
published I'm the Philadelphia "NaiionaI Por.
trait Gallery" IN 1886, we asceifainihe follow:
ing facts IN relation 10 her early life:
The parents of Dolly Payne were natives nf
Virginia. and Ranked amt ny the rhdst respec.
table citizens of the State. While ON visit
to some 'ol her friends In North Carolina, Mrs.
Payne gave birth to her eldest daughter, the
subject Of this memoir. :,
Soon after their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Payne ioiredihe Society of Friends, or QGakers,
manfHffted their slaves, and removed 10 Penn.
sylvania.
Although nature was prodigal, fortune was
niggard IN its gifts; nor in her e'arly life was
she indebted 10 wealth dr fauk for the consider.
tion she enjoyed in s6ciriy. ss,.
Al IN early age, Miss Payhe was married 10
Mr.. Todd, a young lawyer Of Philadelphia, and
member ofthe Society Of Friends. During
his lifetime she confihued to live in The sim
plicity and seclusion of that sect, though, even
then, lie beauty which became afterwards 50
celebrated began TO attract attention. Soon.
however she was left widow, with an ihtani
son. Alter the death of her husband, her taiher
also being dead, she retnrned to live with her
surviving parent, who had fixed her, residence
in Philadelphia. Z
The personal charms Of The young widow,
unired az they Were with manners cordial,
frank and gay, excited the admiration and
awakened lhe kind feelings Of all who came
within thefF influence; and, unafdsd by The
extrinsic and accidental advantages of fortune
or fashion, she bccame general farorite, and
the object not only of admiration, hut of serfou'
and devoted attachment. Among manly lovers,
equally distinguished by their rank and talents,
who sued for her favor, she gare the preference
to Mr.. Madison. then one of the most conspicu,
ous and respectable member, Of Congress and
in The year 1894 became the wife of that truly
great and good man.

FACTS ABOUT AMALGAMATroN.-Aw writer
in the Boston Medical Journal states the fol-
lowing facts, which he says have been col.
Iected from authentic statistics.
|. That the longevity of the pure African
is greater than Tint Of The inhabitants OF any
otheS portion uf The globe.
2. That muaitoes, i. e., those born OF pa.
rents one being African and the other Cau.
casian, or white, arc decidedly the shortest
lived of any class Of The human race.
3. That mulaltoes are no more liable to
die under The aye Of 25, than the whites or
blacks between those ages--;from 40 to SO,
so to !, and from IS to 10, loo ].
4. That the mortality the free people Of
color in the United States is more than 100
per cent. greater than That Of the slaves.
S. That those of unmlxed African extrac-
ton in the "fiee states are not more liable
to sickness or premature death than The
whites oil their rank and condition IN society,
but that the striking mortality so manlfcs,
among the free people Of color, Is in every
community and section Of country invariably
confined to the mulattnes.

THE SYMPTOMS OF CHOLERA.

An erroneous opinion prevails among many
persons that the Asiatic Cholera strikes its vic.
Tim with the suddenness almost Of lightning.
The fact Is. that there are very few diseases
which give earlier or more certain Warning of
their approach; and it is only after the paiien,
has labored under the incipient stages for three
or four days, tha, the final attack occurs II
the premoniory symptoms are watched, cholera
is comparatively harmless, indeed far less fatal
than any other disorder to which mankind is
subject. y's :;
The first Indication Of the approach Of the
disease is hardness, or fnllness in the abdo.
men, betraying slight arrangement IN the or.
gans there situated. II a glass Of water IS Ia
ken, feeling of distress. or dheasinsss ensues,
generally Of a light character however, and in
Consequences frequently disrcgasded altogether,
or soon totgotien. In lime2on me next day
perhaps, uecasiohai pains shoot through the
stomach, and sensation OF Nausea is etperi-
enced. DisrrhHa ensaes, perhaps Vomiting,
the next day afteH Or, Il, violent cases, on the
same day Even hohsh the patent ,nav have
disregarded the former symptoms, j! he Will how
call in physician, and take proper remedies,
he is nearly sure Of recovery, more sure than
person attacked with fever or other ordinary
disorders. IT, however, he neglec,s these fore-
warnings, violent cramp succeeds, and then
there is real danger.
The only peril, therefore, that exists, arises
from the carelessness Of the public, shpcrihduc.
ed by the gentIeness Of the disease in its earlier
stages. 1t a man is attacked with the cramp,
and dies in few hours, it is said that be fell a
victim to the cholera in single day! yet in
reality, if inquiry was Instituted, ii Would be
found that he had hesn labofins under lbe pre-.
,nonitory stages Of the disease fos several days
and that the cramp, which was cohsidered lhe
first, was in reality the las, assault Of the she-
my. The lassitdds accompanying The earH fer
progress of the disorder, joined to The extreme
milIness Of the symptoms, induces frequently a
criminal carelessness. which leads 10 the most
fatal results. Yet, ifthe approaches Of the dis.
ease are watched, they are certain to yield to
proper and timely treatment.
