Cholera-Tho Geological Theory.
The New York Express, in All arti.
Gle upon the subject, gives the follow.
ing account of new theory:
"The writer sets out with affirming
his belief in what he calls the Geoloqi-
cal Theory; that is to say, in brief
terms, that this disease has it's origin in
the earth, and not, as many Others be-
lieve, in the air. Not a single person
ever died of cholera who believed in
this theory, we are told, or who prac.
ticed on that belief, but there is n sin
gular absence Of facts in this connec-
ton, which is not likely to inspire i'm
plicit faith in what is said. AS the
origin of the cholera is in the earth, so,
too, the best specific for its cure is to
be found there too. Rain-water,"
then, We are informed, is just the thing.
No one ever died of cholera that
drank copiously Of rain wat, ~
Furthermore
1t never becomes epidemic in dis
trlct where rain water is exclusively
used-we hear of no deaths in families
in our vicinity where that water is
used exclusively; nor in Charleston,
Natchez, or Vevay, in Indiana, or GER
tain Islands in the West Indies, where
they have no other than rain-water
1t will be found on examination, that
the different outbreaks of cholera which
we hear Of lately, all occur where CAL
careous water is used; had the labo.
,rers on the rail way near Covington,
and the victims Of cholera in MAYS
vile, been furnished with rain, or
boiled ,cater, they could not have fallen
under the deadly grasp Of that disease.
The cholera fell with dreadful ma!ipni.
ty on the convicts in the pcnitentiary
at Alton, ILL.,, in lS47, more than one.
fourth of the whole number died :;
since which they have had cistcrns to
catch the rain water and are permitted
10 drink no other, the medical attend
ant, Or. Hart, says that the general
health OF the prisoners is much i'm
proved, and no cholera cases occur !;
but several Of the Irish laborers on
the Alton rail way have did Of chole-
ra this season, who used the spring wa
ter; limestone abounds in that vicini-
ty.
g. In 1882, the cholera destroyed a
great many Of the Iris. laborers who
were employed at the head of Syca-
more street, where they used water of
the same spring that carried off So ma
ny victims in lS49. at the former
period those laborers worked near
where Mrs. B. lived, and now lives,
her family used rain water, and made
use Of all sorts Of fruits and vegetables
OF the season and yet they all escaped
cholera"

a grand affair. Ile arrived at Kings.

panied by Charles Lanlnan, his
private Secretary, and was greeted by
All immense concoursc of citizens. He

dren. Arriving at Mansfield, the
procession entered Webster's grounds
and halted in front Of a rostruln erect,
cd on hill, around which an immense
number Of Webstcr's friends and
ncighbors had congrogatcd. The
Hon. Seth Sprague delivered all
address Of welcome, to which Mr.
Webster responded in feeling terms
He said he had not looked for such
a testimonial Of regard and such
welcome home. His heart was
deeply touched, not by the brilliant
display around him, but by the
fact that the community among whom
he had SO long dwclt, who knew him
SO well, should have manifested such
unbounded esteem. After proceeding
further in this strain, he alluded to our
political position.
Mr.. Sprague, he said, had been
pleased to refer to recent occurrences
upon which he did not deem it fit for
him to say any thing Us the time had
not yet come. Whatever he had good
or valuable in him, he would hold in
his own keeping, and not trust it tc
the "aywardness Of others.
lie then alluded to the fishery uues
ton, and said it would not become
hin ,t.ss,Y tfsss-,lY much on that point, until
he Spoke officially, but he would
assure them the administration would
MT neglect the matter under any
circumstance The fisherman he
continued, shall be protected in thci,

A Curious Description.

A gentleman from Paris writes the
following:
] saw through one Of the windows
of the Mayors Office in the twelfth
ACCOMPLISHMENT, what seemed to be the
body of negro hanging by the neck
At the first glance and even at the Sc
cOId, j took. it for a human heing Who
disappointed love or perhaps an expe-
ditious judge, had disposed of So sud
denly but | soon ascertained that the
ebony gentleman i'll question was q
large doll, as large as life. What to
think of this | did not know, so ask
ed the door keeper the meaning Of it.
"Ihis is the Contraband Museum"
was the answer; and OH my showing
curiosity to examine it, he was kind
enough to act as my cicer"ne.
In huge dirty room are scattered
over the floor, on the walls, and along
the ceiling, all the inventions Of rogue
ry which had been contiscated from
time to time by those guardians Of the
law, the revenue officers.
1t is q complete arsenal Of the wcap-
ons OF smuggling, all, unfortunately,
in complete confusion. Look before
you, there is hogshcad dressed up as
II nurse, with n child that holds two
quarts and halt. On the other
side are logs hollow rs the Trojan
horse, and filled with armies of scgars.
On the door lies a huge boa.constrictor,
g"rged with China silks and just be-
yond it, Il pile Of coal curiou~ly pcrto-
rated with sroois ot' cotton.
The colorcd gentleman, who excited
my sympathy at first, met wi il his
tate under the following circumstances

sour On The foot board OF II carriage,

had frequently passed through the gates
AID was well known by sight to h..
soldiers who noticed that he was al
ways showing his teeth--which tn, y
supposed to be the custom of his conI.-
;ry.
One day the carriage he belonged
to was stopped by a crowd at the. gate.
There was as usual a grand chorus of
ycllS and oaths, the vocal part being
performed by the drivers and cartmen,
and the instrumental by their whips.
The negro however never spoke q
single word. His good behavior de-
lighted the soldiers, who held him up
as an example to the crowd.
"Look at the black fellow" they
cried, "sce how well he behaves !!
Bravo! niger bravo"
He showed perfect Indifference to
their applause.

slapping our sable friend on the shou.d-
er, eve are really very much obliged

Oh, surprise a.! the shoulder ratified.
The officer was bewildered, he sound,
ed the footman all over and found he
was made of metal, and as full as his
skin would hold Of the very best con.
traband liquor drawn out Of his foot.
The juicy mortal was seized at once
and carried of in triumph.
The first night tho revenue people
drank up one of his shoulders, and he
was soon bled to death. 1t is now six
] years since he lost all the moisture OF
of his system, and was reduced to a
! dry skeletor.

a reminiscence Of Gen. Jackson and
Gen. Scott is revived by the Washing.
ton correspondent of tho New York
Journal Of Commerce
"ln March, 1929, Gen. jackson suc-
ceeded to the Presidency. Between
Gen. Scott and Gen. Jackson there
had been personal difficulties dating as
far back as the year 1915.
"At m early stage Of the new a1.
mnistration, Gen. Scott called at the
Office Of the Secretary Of War-Gen,
John II. Eaton-a and rendered to him
his resignation as Major General in the
Army.
Gen. Eaton, very cool, consider.
alto man, and friendly to Gen. Scott,
begged u rcmonstrat. against this
procedure.
Gen. Scott was, however, bent up.
on his purpose; and he added to his
explanation, that his family wcr. in
Europe, and that he was about to 90
out and join them, and should bo ab.
sent some months, perhaps a year.
"Gen. Eaton then requested Gen.
Scott to remain in the city, and call on
him the next day.
Gen. Eoton went to President
Jackson and informed him of the inter.
view, and that Gen. Scott had tender.

that on account Of old difficulties be.

wishes to resign. Now, Mr.. Secretary
do what you please in the matter, but
treat Gen Scott in precisely the same
manner and with the same consdera
ton as if nothing had never passed be-
tween him and me-"
"Ihc next day Gen. Scott called al
the War Office, and Gen. Eaton in.
formed him that, as he wished to go to
Europe, he (the Secretary would give
him o fi'rlough for twelve months
Gen. Scott accepted it. but still left his
resignation in the hands of the Score

REMARKABLE ErFEcrs OF LIour-
N1Na.-During thunder shower on
the Sth ult., the house of Joseph Har-
ris. in Williamsburg, Me-, was struck
By lightning, the glass broken out, and
the house very much injured. There
were twelve persons in the house,
among them Mrs. Dunning, Mrs.
Briggs and Miss Charlotte Holden
Miss Holden states that her sight,
hearing and Tower Of motion loft her,
and She fell upon the floor, retaining,
however, her Consciousness.
She tried to scream and to move,p
but in vain. In short time her sight
was restored, and che was taken out
into the rain, and water poured upon
her. Her hearing was partially re-
stored, and after time the numbness
left one side, but remained for several
hours in the other side, rendering it
impossible for her to walk. Her
clothes were torn and burnt, one Of the
sleeves of her sack rent into atoms,
her watch broken and her shoe rent to
pieces.
Mrs. Harris was sitting near Miss
Holden when the lightning passed
down the side of the chimney, passed
entirely round Mrs. liarris's waist
and arms as she was holding an infant,
burning as it passed, leaving the child
untouched. Mrs. Harris was prostra-
ted, and also several others in tho
house. butno one was killed, and none,
on the whole, received any permanent
injury. A bonnet in tho room was
torn in many pieces, and not a yestige
Of the wire could be found.

make compromise Of the matter, by
giving the State to Pierce by 10000
