DOn,t be scared.

One of the best ways to coax on the Cho-
lera, and extend it a polite invitation to take
hold of your carcass, is to become alarmed,
fear to eat anything, and indulge in the blues
and such other mental luxuries. But the
way to avoid the epidemic, is to laugh though
others may wall be cheerful, light hearted,
gay. 1t is time enough to weep when we are
called uponto shed tears for others-but to
mourn in advance for oneselGis selfshness and
folly in the extreme. We love it not, and so
long as nature keeps us in the same happy,
cheerful state in which she so kindly moulded
us, ourreaders shall find no example in theJour
nal of that which we now contemn. Throw
aside this ridiculous alarm, these foolish fears,
and let the Cholera if it do come, work its worst
but prevent it if you can possibly do so by
eheerfulness, from taking you as one gifts vic
tins. Eat as you have been accustomed to-
but in greater moderation. Drink as you
have drank, but don't get tight. Sleep as
you have slept, and live as you have lived
When you have touch of the diarrhea
don't wait to see whether it is going to be
much of an affair after all, but take suitable
medicine, the more vigorous according to the
stage of the disease. Follow these direc-
TONS and if the cholera take you, then i
will be because your habits which we told
you in moderation to follow, have been SC
rascally that probably you would have dice
victim to them anyhow. That will be a
least consolation TO your friends.

y Jackson keeps excellent Ice Cream al
ways at his Saloon on First street opposite
the old Post Office. He complains ofCholera
reports injuring his business some, but there
is no reason why it should do so. Ice Cream
is not going to injure any healthy person if
eaten in moderation.

~ To the exclusion of much other mat
ter, we published yesterday Prof Webster's
letter, in which he makes a full confession OF
the murder of DR.. Parkman. 1t has been
looked for with great interest, and will be
read with avidity by all. We regard it as a
lame affair, and it were perhaps much better
had it never been given to the world. 1t can
be of no possible avail In securing a commu-
tation of his sentence.

ministered from the right quarter, to the late pro-
position attempted to be supported by argument,
In favor of borrowing the School Fund Of Iowa,for
the purpose of investingit in the construction Of
. Rail Road from Du Buque to Keokuk.
II that road can be constructed without involving
the State in debt shall be glad to see it compile
ted. The route will have to cross both branches of
The Makoqueta, Wabsipinicon, Cedar, Iowa and
Skunk rivers, which flow into the Mississippi, and
must consequently make the enterprise very ex-
pensive one. The lands asked for will not pay
1.-THE Of its cost of construction, and where the
other required capital will come from we have not
yet learned. While the steam is up, we would
suggest to the projectors the propriety Of avaing
themselves of the plan adopted in Upper Illinois.
The cost OF construction is estimated, and the cit
liens of the counties through which the road pas
ses vote to tax themselves the required amount.
II this plan is adopted the state at large will not
stand committed to defray the cost of its consruc-
tion and the road may be completed. 1t is, howey-
er, whispered pretty loudly, that the friends of the
project at the north only anxious to complete il

they care not how it stops. 1t will secure the
perpetuation of the Seat of Government at Iowa
City and that, with good road leading to it. is their
strongest desire.

Character OF the u. s. Senate Rstrocradin-

The U. S. Senate has heretofore maintained a
character for dignifed courtesy and manly bearing,
which has continued to contrast favorably with the
rowdyism of the House. The recent ATTEMPT to
shut out Father Mathew, the great Temperance
Apostle, rem complimentary seat in the Senate
Chamber, has greatly tarnished the reputation of
that body. We are glad to see the papers OF both
parties condemning such specimen of Southern
fastidiousness. The compliment WIS proposed to
be withheld on the ground that Fathe. Mathew had
once written letter denouncing Slavery. Since
he has been in this country, although applied to
semi officially, he has refused TO turn aside from
his legitimate work, to NEEDLE with the que stan Of
Slavery in any shape. AS but portion OF The SEN
ate were thus lterai, it is well that the country
