THE LATEST REMEDY.-A Correspondent says
that he HIS IT stated in some OF the papers
that the root Calomus or Sweet Flag, IS one OF
the best representatives. of Cholera, and people
requested to walk about the streets with their
pocket full Of the new remedy. Against tins
advice he says he has nothing TO say; but It
strikes him that the surest remedy against the
impending plague is for people 10 mind their
business, talk less about the cholera, and be &C
tuated in all their conduct by common SENSE
If people will be incorporate i'll their habits, ell

GsoFLLANEoUs SELECTIONS.

PRESIDENT TAYLOR AND HIS CABINET
The Washington Republic, Of the 18th,
contsins lengthy article relative to the
.,.tement that has for some time been
~oine the rounds Of portion Of the press,
,o,he effect ..that President Taylor is mere
t. one Of eight in his Cabinet; that he is
n the habit Of submitting his nominations
for Office to that body. giving a vote with
the rest of them, and abiding by the re-
suit
The Republic proceeds to deny most
automatically the charge. and asserts that
every appointment that has been made to
imoortant stations in the country, has
beeo made on the Presidents own mo-
ton and judgment. and that every applica-
,ion that has been refused, has been re-
fused on his own responsibility, without
desiring to implicate any member OF his
Cabinet in the responsibility Of such re-
6asal. tits further stated by the Republic.
that with ''regard to the inferior and local
appointments, which belong properly 10
the Heads Of Departments, he has left
them where they belong, without seeking
to interfere"
This charge, says the Republic, has
heretofore been allowed to pass in silence,
in the belief that no sene man would Gre
dit the statement SO entirely inconsistent
with Gen. Taylor's we'll known character
and habits Of life.

FATHER MATHEWS PENsIoN.-An or
ganiZed movement is on foot in New York
TO free Father Mathew from all pecuniarv
obligations TO the British Government and
all the embarrasments under which he
labors by reason of the debts contracted
in the Temperance cause. and send him
forth on his glorious mission as a free man
free from all anxiety and inquietude. 1t
IS we'll known that Father Mathew does
not owe one shilling personally. The
debts connected with the propagation OF
Temperance. were the debts of poor soce-
ties for which he made himself responsible.
and the effects of his benevolent efforts
to stem the tide Of disease and famine
which swept away myriads of the Irish
people. May the effort TO wipe out this
debt be successful.

the secret would be out, and our party
would be safe. |, makes not pins diff

BLACK RAIN.--The phe nomenon of a celebrat-
ed black rain has not heen explained. Upon the
Odd of November. SIG, very remarkable black
ram fell at Montreal, accompanied by appalling
thunder. 1t preceded by dark and gloomy
weather, experienced over the United States: at
times the aspect Of the sky grand aud ter
rife. In Montreal the dark mess was very great.
particularly on Sunday morning; in the whole
atmos plle appeared thick haze Of dIngy
aug- color during which rain fell of a thick and
dark inky appearance, and apparently lnPreg.
mated with some black substance resembling SCOT.
At this period many lectures were at1oat.
among which, that of a volcano had broken out
in some distant quarter. The weather after this
became pleasant, until the Tuesday following,
when, at twelve o'clock a heavy damp vapor en- :
veloped the city, when 1t became necessary TO
light candles in the houses; the stalls OF the butch
also lighted. The appearance was aw-
full, and grand in the extreme. A little be fore
three o'clock, slight shock of an earthquake
was felt, accompanied with II noise resembling
that the increasing gloom engrossed universal at
tention. AT twenty minutes past three, whe n
the rk ness seemed TO have reached its gree
depth. the whole city was instantly Illuminated
by the most vivid flash of lightning ever witness
ed in Montreal, Immediately followed by peal
CT thunder, so loud and near as to shake the
strongest buildings to their foundation, which
was followed by other peals, and accompanied
by heavy shower of rain of the color above de-
scribed. After P. NJ. the heavens assumed a
brighter appearance, and fear gradually subsid-
ed.''

SUBLIME MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION.
What noisy creature would man be.
(says an exchange paper were his voice
in proportion to his weight, as loud as that
of locust! \ locust can be heard at the
distance Of 1-1Gth OF mile. The golden
wren is said to weigh but half an ounce;
so that a mddling sized man would weigh
down not short Of 1000 Of our locusts
Surprising, therefore, that common man
weighs as much as 10000 OF our locusts,
and that the note Of locust can be heard
1-I6ih of a mile, man Of common d.
mansions. pretty sound in wind and limb,
ought to be able to make himselfheard at
a distance Of 10000 miles; and when he
sneezed. "his house ought to fall about his
ears" Surprising flea to weigh one
grain. and to jump one and half yards.
Il common man of so pounds. with Jump
ing powers in proportion, could Jump To-
500 miles or about the distance from New
ork to Cochin China. Aristophanes. re.
presents Socrates and his disciples as
deeply engaged in calculations of thi $
kind. around table on which thew are
waxing a fiea's legs to see what weight it
will carry in proportion TO its size, but he
does not announce the result of their ey.
periments. We are. therefore. happy in
being able to supply, in some degree, so
serious an omission.

Mourn VERNoN.-A correspondent of
the Boston Atlas furnishes melancholy
picture Of the ruin and desolation Of Mount
Vernon. The road is almost impossible,
and fences are broken. the gates off the
hinges, and the grounds overgrown with
weeds and thistles Even,he tomb which
has the dust Of Washington is crumbling
The writer justly says:
The present proprietor, Mr.. Washing
ton is quite young man. and we have
heard that he is willing to sci! the old man

land to the National Government. lie,
Of course, will not sell it to strangers.
We do not believe that any person ever
visited this hallowed spot without going
away with the conviction that the purchase
of it should be made by Congress. Let
the nation own it, and fit it up in a manner
worthy Of the republic and Of the Illus
trious dead, whose name is the richest in
beritance, and whose life was one unin-
terrupted flow of the highest and purest
actions that ever marked the family of man.
i is disreputabe that it should longer re-
main in its present state. II we had
Mount Vernon in old Massachusetts: if
Washington had been her son. and his
body was laid within her mould. how the
spot would be treasured in our hearts, and
beautificd by our hands! The people Of
our Commonwealth would count it as the
richest treasure. and our maidens would
keep the tomb dressed witt, flowers in
perennial freshness.

A New York letter in the Philadelphia Inqui-
rer SAYS among the deaths by cholera recently
reported by the sanitary committee is that OF a
man who positively drank seventy-two bottles
of brandy in thirty DAYS, and is known to have
frequently taken twelve mint juleps before din
Extraordinary as this is, there can be no
doubt of its truth. 1t is among such people that
the cholera commits the greatest ravages.

\ QUEER HEAD DKEss.-Lynch, in his
expedition to the De ad Sea thus describes
queer head dress, which the women
about Beyrout wear:
"The most striking peculiarly Of dress
we saw, was the tataur or horn. worn
mostly by the wives Of mountaineers. 1t
was II inches to two feet long, three or
four inches wide at the base, and about
enc inch at the top. 1t is made of tin.
silver or gold, accorping to the circum-
stances Of the wearer, and it is sometimes
studded with precious stones. From the
summit suspends veil, which falls upon
the breast. and at will. conceals the te a.
lures. 1t is worn only by married ones OF
the highest rank. and once assumed, it is
worn for life. Although the temple may
throb and the brain be racked with fever
it cannot be laid aside. Put on with the
bridal robe it does not give place to the
shroud.
1t is supposed to have some reference to
the words, ''the horns of the righteous
shall be exalted"

War THE GOSPEL HAS DoNE.-What b.es-
sing has Christianity been to the world, even in
relation to its present comforts! 1t has suppress
sed polygamy, put Il stop to the sale Of children
by the r parents, and the abandonment and muir
der of aged parents by their chiIdren; it has res
cued wone n from their abominable degradation
by the other sex, and raised them to their just
rank society; it has sanctified the bond OF mar
rage, checked the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF divorce; It
has in a great measure destroyed slavery, mIti-
gated the terrors Of war, given new sanction
, to treaties, introduced mIlder laws ana more
equitable governments; it has taught ienIty 10
enemies and hospitality to strangers; 1t has made
legal provision for the poor; formed lnst'tu
lions for instructing the ignorant; purified the
stream of Justice, erected the throne OF mercy.
