to be in great danger; while the notably bad
liyers are dying all about us.
DIR, Gardiner remarked that much brandy and
water was exceedingly apt to predspose it.
THE SUBSTANCE OF THE MATTER.
The resulting sum of the discussion seemed
to be this; That the cholera begins with pain
less diarrhea, which is easily cured. But if
neglected, il ends in the true cholera symptoms,
which are exceedingly dangerous. That any
improperly of diet, or habits any over-exer-
ton or uncommon exposure is likely to produce
it. That for its cure, gentle tonic laxatives in
the first stages calomel moderately, and opium
and camphor largely, mustard poultices, hot.
air baths, gentle frictions and absolute rest are
the best. BY "absolute rest they mean that
the patient shall be still DR.. j. Wood remark
ed that he should not stir on any account achat-
crer, and if he will be still, he will be amazed
to find that his occasions for rising do not come
on perhaps throughout the whole day.

and its record cannot but be of service to the

A Rare Testimonial.

In December last, a number of the friends
of Louis Gaylord Clark, the widely known and
esteemed editor of the "Knickerbocker'' Ma
gazne, assembled to devise some suitable plan
for rendering that gentleman O substantial com
plimentary benefit, in consideration of his
twenty years constant and arduous labor, as
editor of a leading literary Magazine; service
eminently creditable to his abilities and char
acter, and tending, in no small degree, to de-
velop the literary resources of this country.
1t was desired by those friends, that the benefit
might be such as would be appropriate for the
literary class to offer, and for him to receive
The plan decided on, was the publication of
an elegant octave volume Ia miscellany of lit.
erary and art to be called the "Knickerbocker
Gallery comprising original literary papers,
by some Of the most eminent living American
authors, among them, Irving, Bryant, Halleck,
Longfellow, &c, all of whom, we believe, have
been contributors to the Knickerbocker. The
volume to be illustrated with forty portraits,
on steel, of the contributors The work, we
are glad to learn, is we'll under way. and will
be ready for issue in October, from the press
of Samuel Hueston, publisher of the "Knick-
erbocker."
That this will be one of the most unique and
attractive volumes ever issued in this country,
may be safely reckoned. But its object no
less than its intrinsic merit, will commend it to
the public. Mr.. Clark has labored half his life
time, honorably and markedly, in behalf of
American literature; through the pages of his
magazine the public have been introduced to
many now popular writer's, and not month
passes, but the whole newspaper press and the
readers thereof-as we'll as of the Knicker-
bocker-are indebted to him for sterling graft
fication. And for all this toll and service, Mr..
G. has reaped but small pecuniary reward
living-no more! The intent Ultimate, in
getting up the beneftyolume, is to secure from
the profits of its sale fund sufficient to pur-
chase shady nook, somewhere on the shores
of the Hudson, where the veteran editor of
"Old Knick" can repose and compose, in his
latter days, without being entirely slave to
the
Sings and arrows of outrageous fortunes"
and we do not believe there is living Knick-
erbocker, or man, or woman, who knows him
and what he has done, and how worthy he is
on the score of all good-fellowship, who will not
say amen to the proposed benefit, and stand
prepared to take volume. Some hundreds Of
volumes are already subscribed for.

AZ COOP SToRY.-Some of the students of
the Indiana State University were suspected to
be in the habit of drinking brandy. Where
they obtained it was a mystery. Dr. Daily de-
termined to ferret out the secret. Calling into
small drug store, the proprietor asked him
"how that sick student Mr.. Carter, came on?"
Smelling rat, the doctor answered in an eva
sive manner, and soon drew out of the apothe.
cary that the students under suspicion had been
In the habit of purchasing brandy for sick
student by the name of Carter; that they said
he was quite low, and was kept alive by stimu-
lants that the young gentlemen seemed very
much devoted to him. Now the secret was out.
This Carter was fictitious character, and the
doctor had the secret.
However, he kept his own counsel The
next time the students assembled in chapel
for prayers, he cast his eyes over the crowd
and satisfied himself that Carriers nurses were
all present. The devotions were duly con-
Quoted, and then he called the attention of the
students, remarking that he had mournful
task to perform-as the president of the uni
versity it became his duty to announce the
death of their fellow student, Mr.. Carter.
After lingering illness of several weeks a
portion of which time be was kept alioe 6y
stintilants, he had breathed his last. He had
no doubt that this announcement would fall
sadly on the ears ofthose who had so faith tullv
attended to his wants, but he hoped they
would bear it with resignation-he hoped they
would reflect on the oft-repeated words, Ne
nento morf'-that he would now no longer de-
tain, but leave them to their own rehectionsl
The result of this announcement was start
ling. None of the professors, and but few of
the students, had ever heard of Carter. "Who
is he n was whispered; none knew, but the
" kind friends who attended him." and they
wouldn't tell; and the president seemed so
deeply affected, they didn't like to ask him.
