R- It is said to be fact recorded that
during the visitation of cholera in France, out
of nearly 1929 subscribers to the public
baths of Paris, Bordeaux and Marseilles, only
two deaths among them were ascribed to
cholera. There does not exist more effec-
tual preventive of disease of every kind, and
a greater promoter of good health at all times,
than the practice of daily bathing.

threatened Russia, as both Austria and Prus-

ural to suppose that Helsngfors would be
afterwards subjected to the same process.

AFAcT.-Some one has the following true
as-gospel remarks. Will parents please re-
member: "Give your children fortune with
out education, and at least one-half of the
number will go down to the tomb of oblivion
perhaps to ruin. Give them education, and
they will be a fortune to themselves and
country. 1t is an inheritance worth more
than gold, for it buys true honor-they can
never spend nor lose it, and through life it
proves friend, in death consolation.

The insurgents, if successful, may offer the
throne to Don Pedro, of Portugal. The
French government is said to favor the insur-

subject. Napoleon replied that he could not
enter into the project, but did not say he
would interfere to prevent it. 1t is surmised
that Russia is implicated in the insurrecton,

MANUFACTURE OF NEGRoEs.-Dr. Vanhuse,
of Mississippi, says the Eutaw Wing, writes
to the West Alabamian that DR.. Iioburgs
has discovered tincture or ointment, which
ifapplied by certain rules, will in few days
change the farest skin on earth to the real
African hue, and that the children of those
thus backened, will be black or half black, as
was the case with their parents, and that all
the soaps and water in the world cannot wash
it of. The Doctor also composed another
wash, which makes the hair as kinkey as that
OF the real African. The end of it all is he
can make negro. We think the southern
states should purchase the patent right of it
-kidnap all the aboitionsts, black them, and
make them as they are in heart. Greely would
certainly require double coat Tar however,
might answer well enough for the first.
