@The Pennsylvania says the idea Of a Tay.
lor party in this country is nbsurdity. A par
ty never adopts the name of a man who has shown
that he is not the head of the place to which he
has been chosen. General Taylor is no longer
President: he is simply member of the Regency.
1t would be better for Federalism to call itself the
Regency party: for there would DO both truth and

GA remarkable circumstance in connection
with the cholera in Europe, is. that Birmingham,
in England, Berlin, in Prussia. and Lyons, in
France, have all entirely escaped it, although
neighboring districts hav suffered severely. These
three are manufacturing places, and as the sug-
gestion has been mooted that the absence Of ozone
in the atmosphere is the of the disease, and
ozone is produced by combustion, it is asked can
the immunity be owing to the consa mt action OF
the lighted furnucesl
1t is also mentioned that at village in Prussia
the cholera was rnging very severely, when an
extensive fire broke out, which destroyed n large
portion Of the village. In the midst of this fire
three patients were obliged to he carried out from
their beds into The street. All Of them recovered
and not single case occurred subsequently,. AT
tho same time it may be remarked, that in this
instance the cessation of the disease may probably
be attributed to the sudden impulse given TO the
mental energies.-[ Er.
