CHOLERA AND ARDENT SPIRIrs.-The
British Board of Health, in England. recent
ly ordered to be published a long document,
setting forth precautionary measures to be
adopted by sea captains, directors Of men,
and others, to prevent the ravages of cholera
among those under their care. We extract
the following therefrom, III relation to the
use of intoxicating drinks, and will add that
very large class OF intelligent physicians,
both in this country and Great Britain re-
gard their use as beverage adapted to pre-
dispose the physical system to attacks by
every species of epidemic. This testimony
is of the more value because it comes from
a people not much influenced in favor Of the
doctrine of total abstinence:
1t is very common notion among sailors
and other people that brandy, whskey, rum,
wine and the like are good as a protection
against the cholera This is total and ia
tai mistake. In every country and town
where the cholera has broken out, drunkards
and those who drink freely have been the
first and greatest sufferers from the disease;
temperate men usually recover; drunkards
usually die.

crease alone was very nearly as much as the
aggregate population which had accumulated
IN twenty centuries. Thus the population
has done that during the last fifty wears,
which the eleven centuries between The land
ing OF Julius Cesar and that of William the
Conqueror had scarcely accomplished At
the same time it might easily be shown that
the wealth OF the country increased faster
than ITS population. The 81 ,l2l ,967 people
in Great Britain are very unequally dispers-
ed. In England and Wales they are at an
average distance asunder Of los yards In
London they are within IA yards of each
other. In East London there are lS5, Isl
persons to square mile; in the district Of
Bellingham, Northumberland, there are only
Is persons to square mile, or in London the
population of a square mile is more than ten
thousand times greater than that Of Belling-
ham. In the towns the people are 80 per-
sons to square acre, in the country there
are 3 acres to each person.-Placing three
persons in every square yard, the whole
population might be placed in 1 ,476 acres.

A HoosIER's DESCRIPTION OF A DINNER
AT TIE AsToR HOUSE, met upon the train
an elderly Hooser, who had been to the
show case exhibition at New York, and who
had also seen the HI-pod-ro-me, as he called
it.
"Did you remain long in New York;"
asked him.
swell, no." answered he thoughtfulIy,
"only two days, for l saw there was a right
smart chance of starving to death, and I'm
opposed TO that way of going down. / put
up al one of their taverns, and l allowed
was going to be treated to the whole"
"Where did you stop'" inquired.
''At the Ashtore House. / allow you
don't ketch me to no such place agin. They
rung gone, as they called it, four times
afore breakfast, and then, when went in to
eat, there want merry vi,tles on the table! 4"
''What was there:" ventured to inquire.
"Well,' said the old man, enumerating
the items cautiously, as if from fear of omis-
sion,-''there was clean plate-wrong side
up-a knife, clean towel, split spoon,
and handbill. and what was worse" added
nv companion, ''the insultin' nigger up and
asked me what | wanted: 'vitlles' says l.
