WV SAtN VI sAA' ANN'
York Times, writes as follows under
date of Oct, g.
1t appears now from further invest
cation that the few cases OF cholera We
are having at Paris may be linked "a &
woman who came from MarselIes, aud
who died almost Immediately after ar
irving at Paris, This woman served As
germ OF infection in the neighboIhOOd
in which she died, aud from this neigh
borhood, which Is inhabited exclusively
by the poorer classes, all the cases come
which have so far entered the hospitals,
AS to the treatment of cholera, it APP
pears that none of the new remedies have
had much success, and that the majority
of physicians have fallen back upon the
old treatment, with laudanum, brandy,
camphor, cayenne pepper, ether, layeu-
der, and other milder remedies in the
same category, with warmth and med
Gated friCtions to the surface. DR.. Tow
rette, physician of Paris, who practices
hydropathy, and who announced in the
journals that cholera was durable by the
cold water treatment, boldly went TO
Toulon to put his theory into practice,
and has died there with the epidemic, 4
victim to an honest faith in a false
theory. So too DIR. Burg, the physician
who has been making extensive investi,
cations into the influence of copper as s
prophylatic and cure for cholera, has
gone to Toulon to experiment his theory
and he too has contracted the disease
and at the last accounts was being tran
Sportcd to the Island of Hyeres, in the
Mediterranean, in a very dangerous con.
dition. Too much praise cannot be Civ
en- to men who thus risk their lives in
order to advance step in the rugged
road Of science aud however little con.
fdenCe men Of large experience may
have in their theories, they cannot with,
hold from them tears Of sympathy for
their death.
FEMALE ScHooL teachers AT THE
SoUTH The following extract from
private letter, dated Wilmington, N. c..
from one Of the female teachers engaged
in the noble work Of educating the igno-
rant blacks, gives some idea Of their
fears as to the policy Of entirely with
drawing the Federal troops from the
South:
II have beon enjoying treat, that Of
reading New York paper a week old,
but it contains the latest news we get
here, | don't think | feel much better
for reading Gen.SlOCum's speech. 1t does
make me so veXed to have men who have
been in the army and had some expert
ence with the rebS., give utterance to
such sentiments. | do not believe that
the time has come to withdraw the troops
from the South. / do not think the lives

daily who. if they dared, would hang me
to the nos roat g, zee. On my way to school
sometimes see s.Ihole families on the
piazzas talking, but Wien l come in sight
