The CHOLERA IN ENGLAND.-The London
Times, in reviewing report of the registra,
general, and commenting upon the disappear
ance Of the cholera from Londo on, struggles tc
reach results. 1t aims to seek consolation
from the fact that the plague in 1882 was
not so destructive as the cholera the past year
In England, the Times says:
"The existence of autumnal heat seems in.
dispensable to the development Of the disease;
yet, 30 strange is the nature Of this mysterious
plague that even this assumption appears con.
tradicted by the experience Of other countries
Nowhere is the cholera more thoroughly 10
Called than in the cold and dreary CITY Of St,
Petersburg, whore, amid the SHOWS, Joe, and
blasts of winter, it is doing its work, we be
heve, at this very moment
" 1t is beyond all doubt that wherever the
dictates of cleanliness and decency are OBJ.
served-whersver destitution and misery arc
prevented by wholesome supplies Of the first
necesssries of life-there cholera, oven more
than other diseases, is robbed of its vietims
This we know, and We fear it is pretty nea,
the sum total Of our knowledge, except tina
elevation of ground above water level appears
to give moro or less security against attack"

A Valuable Invention.
The Baltimore American SAYS 4:

Mr.. William Dillehunt, Of this city, /,
p: actical mechanic, foreman in the cabinet
making establishment of Messrs. J. l. ]. vii
liams d Co., has, for year past, employ %
his leisure hours in constructing working
model of machine of his own invention t.
supply great desideratum to tho ,press, and
especially the newspaper press. It is called
q feeding machine being intended to take
up sheet OF paper wet and ready for print
1ng separate it from tho sheet next on the pile
carry it forward distance of twelve or fifteen
inches, and deliver it to the fingers of tho
cylinder of the press at given moment, with.
out the possibility of delay or failure to per.
form its work.
We have examined the machine of Mr.. Dill
lehunt, in company with our own pressman
and several other Of tho most experienced
practical pressmen of tho city, all of whom
were unanimous in their VERDICT as to its Der.
feet utility and SUCCESS beyond all fear of
tallure-and were equally confident that No
human hands could perform the work with
such unerring certainty rnd precision.
Mr. Dillehunt's apparatus is of most sim
pie construction, occupies but small space
could be confined to the weight of fifty pounds
If necessary, is elevated over tho heap o.
paper, and will raise aad carry the last shss,
Of thousand with as much rtainty as the
first, and without the slightest attention from
the pressman, it being attached to the press
by cog wheel, and requiring no more DO
to drive it than is necessary to blow a small
pair of bellows. In short it is the "inishing''

Sport before Sebastopol.

We give the following from diary of the
sieg. of sebastopoI:
"During the day the Russians fire on the
British about one gun every five minutes
The English look out. A NAN cries, Tower.
Redan, or Garden battery, and tho shot il re
turned: but the fire on the French is much
more lively, and is kept up with some effect on
their earthwork and parallel. Every night,
about nine O'Clock, the Flagstaff, Quarantine,
and Wall batteries open furious cannonade,
which, for from twenty to forty five minutes,
ls az hard as the men can load, right into the
French lines, and then follows Instantly a
sally, the result Of which is invariably the
same. The Russians push . strong column
cut Of the place, rush toward the first line,
drive in the pockets and rifemen, get up to the
first parallel.-sometimes into it, occasion ally
beyond 1t, and close to the second parallel
when they are received, as they advance, by
the French covering parties with deadly FIRE !;
they halt and fire in return, are charged by
the French, who route and pursue them into
the town, but who are obliged to retire by tho
flank fire of the batteries and street guns. In
this way the French loo g forty or fifty men !;
but the loss of the Russians in those c!cytes

break, the Russians repeat the performances"

Custom House and Post Office Buildings in
Baltimore. =


Baltimore.
The Baltimore argus, in noticing the bill
recently offered in the House of Representa-
tives by the Hon. Joshua Vansant says:
owe are glad to see that Mr. Vansant has
brought in a bill authorizing the purchase or
erection Of suitable buildings for the purposes
of a Custom House, Post Office, DC, for the
General Government We are decidedly in
favor of the Government owning all the build
ings necessary for tho comfortable accommo
dation of its officers and the transaction of its
business. 1t is too small business for great
and wealthy Government, with thirty millions
of dollars lying idle in its vaults, to be either
q joint owner or a enGnt-Gt-aciU for any
bui ding necessary for tho transaction of its
regular business Let some of these idle mil
lions be expended among our working men for
erecting such building as will be creditable to
the Cover nment, and ornamental to our city.
Large amounts have been expended in all the
other leading seaport towns, while Baltimore
has been indebted to individual property
holders for accommodations for her Custom
House, Post Ofioe and District Court We
hope this will no longer be the case, but that
the present Congress before it adjcurns will
authorize either the purchase or erection of
suitable buildings for all these purposes. There
are many reasons why this should be done,
and none that We are aware Of why it should
not be. We may say moro upon the subject
hereafter, but We hope the prompt action OF
Congress may make our so doing unnecessary

II The superiority Of American inv entive
genius, not only over that of our English
progenitors, but indeed of all other nations,
has become toe tangible to be disputed 1t
was notorious at the Worlds Fair in London,
that the Americans far outstriped all others in
the useful inventions which they supplied.
We beat the English in vessels, railroads,
telegraphs and manufactures by power We
are beating them in the scientific arts of
Chemistry and Medicine, as We have long
beat the rest of mankind. A new and practi.
cal proof Of this assertion is shown in the fact
that the principal remedies Of the allied armies
of the East are furnished from the laboratory
of our own countrymsn. DR.. J. G. AVER OF
LEVEL, is filling orders for immense quanti-
ties Of his Cherry Psctorat and Cathartic
Piiis, fer both the land and sea forces in
Turkey. His medicines have been tried and
approved by those in power who have found
them the most reliable which they could pro.
cure for the exigencies in which they are to
be employed.-N. Y City Times.

An Eloquent Letter.

A number Of tho leading Democrats Of
Philadelphia county having written to Chas
W. Carrigan, Esq, soliciting him to become a
candidate for the Democratic nomination for
State Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Levi Faulkrod, he replied in
an eloquent letter, from which We take tho
following extract
"Long since I resolved never to solicit from
my party any Office within its gift, nor can 1
do so now. do and ever shall rely upon its
magnanimity in the distribution of favors !;
and, if the Democracy of Philadelphia county
deem my poor name of sufficient account to
warrant its presentation to the convention,
they are at perfect liberty to use it; but by
no deed or word of mine can thrust it upon
their attention. In yielding to your request,
desire to be distinctly understood, that I
rest upon Democratic principles, which know
no shadow of changing, upon the Constitu-
ton as our fathers made it-freedom of con-
science to all, and liberty, equality, and fra.
ternity denied to none. With such weapons
we hope to drive back the ruthless invaders
who would beat down the doors Of our temple,
and with saoreligious Indifference lay hold on
the horns of tho altar ofour faith
