Remedy for Ch0!era.--The following mode
of treating this terrible disease was communi-
Gated to the English press, by Mr. E. w. Lane,
tn e well known Eastern Traveller and Orien-
talist. The editor of the Charleston Courier
publishes it, and adds:
"ln lS49, we saw very violent case on ship
board completely cured by the use of precisely
the same remedies--indeed we believe that
many of our shipmasters for years have used the
treatment in such cases most successfully, gene
rally, however, adding salt to the other ingre.

"While residing in Cairo, in 1888, when the
cholera was raging there, | was informed that
an Engllshman in j small neighboring village
had effected a speedy and perfect cure in every
case of that disease which he had an opportuni-
ty Of treating. The number of the cases was
81 and many of them were very malignant and |
subsequently learned that his mode of treats
ment had been p~ractised with equal success in
Spain, Constantinople and India, and was never
followed by typhus or typhoid fever, which
proved fatal in many cases when the cholera
Itself had been subdued by other means. Upon
applying to him, | received the following direc-
tons, which ! p~ractised in a few cases which
afterwards occurred in my house and elsewhere,
and with invariable success. If the patient
has not vomited the poisonous matter, which
is a characteristic Of the disease, and which re-

powdered mustard in 4 tumbler Of cold water,
as an emetic. After the vomiting (whether pro-
duced by the disease or by the above means
within a few minutes give a wine glass of bran
dy with ten grains Of powdered capsicum(Cay-

produces almost immediate relief, and within an

cases it was found necessary to give a halfdose

given. No other fluid should be drunk before
recovery. To accelerate convNIescence, it has
been suggested that Is drops Of a mixture of
spirit of ammonia and sulphuric ether, in equal
parts, may be advantageously given three or
four times during the following day. The
above quantity Of brandy and capsicum is for
an adult patient suffering a severe attack; in
other cases tWo-thirds or half Of that quantity
may suffice, as have proved by experience"

Baton Rouge Daily Ga2ene-On Wednes-
day last we received the first number of the
Daily Gazette, published by NJ. G. BRYAN, at
Baton Rouge. We congratulate the gentle
man upon the increase of the business of his
town as to warrant an undertaking so arduous
and expensive, and trust he will be well re-
warded for the enterprise he has evinced. He
will find it, however, a far different matter than
conducting a weekly paper, and will be fortu-
nate if he is rewarded for the labor which he
81 obliged to bestow upon it.

UMr. p. E. Jennings violent attack upon
us in the last issue of his paper, as well as his
course towards us for the last four months, is
passed by in silent contempt. As for our aid
ing and abetting Mr.. ERWIN in his publication,
as charged, it is false. We are treated to vio-
lent language, too, for giving publicity to Mr..
ERwIN's article, when, in fact, he had no other
means of defence in his Parish except through
the columns of this paper. We advised him'
indeed, not to notice the attacks made upon him
in the Gazette. Our types and our labor are
free to all who wish to defend themselves
from the attacks Of the Press, so long as they
are paid for.

An Important Fact.--It is often remarked
that the advertisements of a journal are among
the most interesting reading to be found in its
pages, and certainly no one can have a complete
idea Of what is going on in the world without
occasionally perusing that department of the
paper he takes. Tt furnishes the reader with
a vast amount of information of the various
businesses transacted in a large city, and gives
him often useful hints in the conduct of his
own business.

The SUltan.--The present Sultan ofTurkey
is so delicate in health and appearance as to be
scarcely able to keep erect upon his horse, up
GA which he seems TO sway back and forth like
a thing without life. He is more than half q
Christian it is said, though such a suspicion
would cost him his crown if proved. On re-
pairing the Mosque Of St. Sophia, through the
aid of an American artist, the Snltan was pre-
sent when some of the old plastering fell from
walls and disclosed various pictures of Saints
and Christian emblcms; on which he remarked
to the artist in French: IL tnW oourrlr tout

A WW Erecuted aDithout Probae.--The
Portsmouth Journal records an instance of dis
interested generosity, in the heirs of the late
Robert Rice of that city, which is worthy of
note. MIR. Rice recently died possessed of a.
large property, and leaving no will. His whole
estate, therefore, became the property of his
widow and daughter. But among his papers
was found what appeared to be memoranda of
a will, in which considerable sums were set
down to different benevolent objects and to
individual friends. Believing these memoranda
to be expressive of the will of the deceased,
the heirs have generously disbursed some
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars in %legacies,

UThe Star states that Washington city was
filled with rumors on Tuesday concerning the
failure of a noted steam ship operator in New

meeting a purchaser for any amount or at any

1--WE never hear men, on making a bargain
use the common phrase, "We'l not quarre
about a trife," without being sure that trouble
is in the wind. Every contract, even one fol-
the value of a dollar, should be EXPLICITLY sta
ted, down to its minulest particulars, so thai
there can be no possibility of misconstruction
If this is neglected, difficulty is nearly certain
to arise. Many an honest man has been cheat
ed, many a friendship has been broken for life
because Il bargain has not been fully stated
because the parties would not quarre! about
trifes.'

UReputation is so tender a flower that if
once cropped or blasted, it is out of the power
of the most benign sun or genial showers to
restore it to its original beauty. How tender,
then, should every one be not only of speaking,
but even of encouraging the busy tongues and
malicious speeches of defamers. forif defama~
ton be a murderess of the reputation, as in
other muderers, every bystander ought to be
looked upon as a principal, since the law allows
of accomplices in crimes of that black nature.
