p@-Diarrhea is very common disease
in summer time. Cholera is nothing more
than exaggerated diarrhea. When q man
dies Of diarrhee, be has died Of cholera,
in reality. 1t may be well for traYellers'to
know that the first, tho most important,
and the most indispensable item in the ar
rest and cure Of looseness Of the bowels,
is absolute quietude, on a bed. Nature
herself always prompts this, by disnclining
us to locomotion. The next thing is to eat
nothing but Common rice parched like cof-
fee, and then boiled, and taken with little
salt and butter. Drink little or no liquid
of any kind. Bits Of ice may be eaten and
swallowed atwill. Every step in diarrb@s
every spoonful of liquid, only aggravates
the disease. If locomotion is compulsory,
the misfortune of the necessity may be les
sened by having stout piece of woolleD
flannel bound tightly around the abdomen,
so as to be doubled in front and kept well
in its place. In the practice of many
years, we hare never failed to notice a
gratifying result to follow these Obscrv'

The OLDEST MEETING HOUSE IN AMERICA
1t was built in 1861 in the town Of
bingham, Massachusetts, and is still occu-
pied as place of worship. The belI-rope
hangs down in the middle of the house,
where it was placed in order that the bell
might be rung instantly to give alarm Of any
sudden Indian ineursion. There are many
of the eld-fasIlioned square pews in the

anything to be seen in modern church.

MONSTER BA1I.ooN--A TRANSATLANTIC
VoYAGE CoNTENPLATED.-An Erial ship,
called the City of New York, intended for
a TRANSATLANTIC voyage, has been in the
course of construction for some months
past in the vicinity of New York, and is
now so nearly completed that she will be
ready to undertake the trip in October
The @ronaut who has charge Of the enter
prise is Wm. Lowe, of New Hampshire,
who has made several successful ascensions.
The Dimensions Of the ship are greater
than those of any balloon previously built.
The egpacity of the gas receiver is 725, 900
cub -p4s. The aggregate height Of the
balloon is upwards of 800 feet. The di-
ametcr is lao feet.
VIM Lowe proposes to go directly from
New York TO London in 4S to Ga hours.
Dropping below the basket is a metallic
lfe-boat in which is placed an Ericsson en-
giue. Its particular purpose is the control
of propeller, rugged upon the principle of
the screw, by which it is proposed to OBJ
tain regulating power The application
of mechanical power is ingeniously divided
The propeller is fixed in the bow of the
boat, projecting at an angle of about IS
degrees from a wheel at the extremity
Twenty fans radiate Each of these fans
is five feet in length, widening gradually
from the point of contact with q screw to
the extremity, where the width of each is
one and a half feet. Mr.. Lowe claims
that by the application of these mcchani-
cal contrivances his Air Ship can be readi-
Iy raised or lowered to seek different cur
rents of air, that they will give him rapid
Steerage way, and that they will prevent
the rotary motion of other machines.

THE OVERLAND MAILs.--Mr. Butterfeld's 5
Overland Mail is steadily decreasing the
time between this city and st, Lonis-
When this line first went into operation,
serious doubts were entertained, even by
well Informed and thinking persons, wheth-
er the mails could continue to be conveyed
regularly within schedule time; but the con,
tractors have done much more. The
schedule time Of 25 days has been reduced
until the trip is now made, with very few
exceptions, add with regularity truly re-
markhble, inside of 90 days being con
stant gain'o three days on schedule time.
The stagefwhich arrived on the 18th inst,
made the trip in 2l days 10 hours aud 20
minutes, and we doubt not that with suita-
bic encouragement and the establishment
of daily mail the trip could be uniformly
made in 10 or 90 days without difficulty
