TROUBLE BREWING IN FRANcE.-Th
Pans police has prohibited altogether the
sale of Journals in the streets. About
twelve hundred families are thus thrown
out OF support. The true object is to pre-
vent the workmen from buying Journals.
lhey are too poor to subscribe for them.
There is cause for fear that the Govern.
ment will preci cipitatc another revolution
here. The fermentation has commenced
among the workmen, who were entirely
quiet on the 18th. If it does break out
again it will be serious. This last measure
of suppression OF the sale of newspapers.
has caused great excitement. The
woTkmen say, we had nothing TO do with

the Government punish US for it?

CHOLERA.

The following is m abstract of the re-
port oftbe Committee on Hygiene, in Paris.
(Erance,) ~ translated by our old aud cs-
tecmcd friend DR.. Yandell, Of the Louisville
Medical College. II will be read with in.
terest at this juncture.
Cholern is NOT contagious, and il is i'm
por.ant that this fact should be Thoroughly
understood.
During the prevalence Of the epidemic.
the collection Of tho sick into narrow, damp,
bodly-ventiInscd situations, greatly favors
its intensity aud extension. Persons at
tackled in these situations should be instant
" removed.
During epidemic cholera arrangements
Of the digestive functions are more com
mon.
!. Those who feel symptoms of cholic
or diarrhG,, or who have pains OF the s.om.
nch, should DO excessively prnden, 10 diet !;
and avoid fatigue, cold, aud humidity
They should wrap the abdomen in flannel
jacket, 60 otherwise warmly clad, and use
mild iniusions oftca, or sage, or chamomile,
or balm.
1fthese symptoms do not suddenly disnp-
pear, a physician should lie sen. for.
Il rarely occurs that attacks Of cholera
sre not ushered in by symptoms Of disease
Of the stomach and bowels. In this con-
di,,on any intelligent person is capable Of
giving relief; aud prompti:adc is the impor-
tant point.
