The Cholera iii Europe.

Foreign advices contain some
interesting items about the cholera.
Some cases have occurred at Wool
wich, England, none Of which
proved fatal. What are called
two well authenticated cases of
Asiatic cholera have occurred in
Barnsley, England. In one case
the patient recovered. The other
was fatal The patient was a
man OF temperate and regular hab-
its, though it is said the district he
lived in was ill provided with sew
erage. In Paris, at the close of
October, the deaths averaged about
one hundred a day. DR.. Cemiere,
who says he has studied the dis
ease in the East, asserts that in
those countries no doubt exists as
to its cause, which is nothing else
than very small animalcul@ of a
special kind, oyiperous, and null
tiplying with exceeding rapidity.
I hey are suddenly formed in the
human intestines, where they
breed. If the general hygienic
state of the patient is strong e.
nough to resist their attack, they
die out Immediately; but if the
condition of the human body is
favorable to the propagation, they
soon produce disorganization,
which increases with extraordina-
ry speed, and terminates in the
death Of the person attacked. The
New York Times Paris cores
pondent writes that many of those
dying are drunkards, and of these
many are drunkards expressly to
save themselves from the cholera.
They lose their lives from not be-
ing able to discriminate between a
healthy and an excessive use of
spirits.

The London Times oficg.

We find in an exchange paper
some interesting facts with re-
gard to the office of the Lon.
don Times and its interior econo-
my. With few unimportant al-
terations, net observable to the
general reader, the article will am
swer admirably for a description
of the Observer office also. 1t
will interest newspapermen partic-
ularly:
A compositor on the Times
must, says the exchange referred to,
have passed an examination show
Ing that he can setat least forty lines
of ffty-six letters, or about 2,240
letters per hour. The price paid
fer type setting is eleven pence per
thousand letters, at which rate the
compositor can make from twen-
ty-fve to thirty francs in an ordi-
nary days work. This amounts
to aboat five dollars day. There
are ia compositors employed,
fifty of whom are occupied solely
in setting up advertisements.
Five or six stenographers take
notes of Parliamentary proceedings
at Westminster, and return ev-
cry quarter of an hour to the
newspaper office, to put their copy
in shape and let the compositors
have it without delay. In this
way it often happens that a speech
delivered at two o'clock in the
morning appears in the journal
which is struck off at six o'clock
and distributed at seven.
The editorial room is large and
we'll lighted. In the centre is a
huge oak table, and around tie
room are little desks furnished
with every convenience for writing.
Adjoining, is a dining-room for the
editors, and the archive room,
where are stored all the files of
the Times since its foundation.
/ Next to the archive chamber, l
saw the proof-reader's rooms,
where are hundreds of dictionaries
and encyclopedias in all languages,
and relating to all subjects. A
dozen prooi-readers are employed
during the day and another dozen
during the night. They have an
eating-room adjoining that where
they work, and their meals are
provided at the expense of the es-
adjustment.
On another story is a small
room where are printed the regis
tiers and envelopes for the mail pa
pers.
Every one of the editors living
in London carries with him IL
number of envelopes addressed to
the Times, so that in any place
where he may happen to be, at the
theatre, the races, or elsewhere he
can send by special messenger
his copy to the office. The for
eign correspondents have envel-
opes of red paper, which are sent
Immediately on their arrival from
the Postoffice to the Times Office.

Words Of Truth.
The following item clipped Fl

w OTOS Ol 4Tutu.
The following item clipped from
the New York Tribune, rela-
tive to the importance of the coun-
try papers, we commend to bust
ness minds everywhere. Every
man who has an interest in the
county where he resides, should
take an interest in the prosperity
Of his local paper, for to per-
sons abroad, it is the only public
evidence of their own enterprise.
Like the index of a book it tells you
of the subject matter within, and
where chapters of Importance may
be found, SO do advertisements in
a newspaper point out to strangers
the life and energy and growing
wealth of the county in which it is
printed, and Enthusiastically con-
veys to the mind the idea of valu-
able property and increasing pop
ulation. On the other hand, a
halfsupported newspaper, without
local advertising, never since the
art of printing was discovered, in
tiuenced aman of business or enter
prise to settle in the county where
published. But to the Ti6ume'S
idea of the matter:
Nothing is more common than
to hear people talk of what they
pay newspapers for advertising,
&C., as so much given in charity.
Newspapers by enhancing the
value Of property in their neigh
borhood, and giving the localities
in which they are published a rep
utation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants
or real estate owners, thrice the
amount yearly of the meagre sum
they pay for their support. Be
sides. every public spirited citizen
has laudable pride in having a
paper of which he is not ashamed,
even though he should pick it up
in New York or Washington.
A good looking, thriving sheet
helps to sell property, gives char
acter to the locality, and in all re-
spects is a desirable public conve-
nience. If, from any cause, the
matter in the local or editorial COL
umns should not be quite up to
your standard, do not cast it aside
and pronounce it of no account,
until you are satisfied that there
has been no more labor bestowed
upon it than is paid for. If you
want a good readable sheet it must
be supported. And it must not be
supported in a spirit of charity,
either, but because you feel ne
cessity to support it. The local
press is the power that moves
the people"

Significant Appointment.
The Louisville papers contain
the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
President to-day appointed Gen.
John A. Logan, of illinois, Minis
ter, and VIM. A. Browning, ESQ.,,
of East Tennessee, Secretary OF
Legation, to the Republic of Mex
leo. Gen. Logan is known as a
stro 6 and earnest friend Of the
Liberal cause in that country.
Browning has been the private
secretary of President Johnson,
and is now succeeded by Col. Robt
Johnson, son of the President,
in that Office.
This action of the President,
says an exchange, settles the ques-
ton of the recognition by the
United States of Maximiiian's
government. That will not be
done. Whether the Monroe doc
trine will be asserted, is another
question; but the President will
give MaNimilian no aid and COM
fort, not even to tile extent of ac-
knowledging him a belliserent.
This action of President Johnson
will cause some fluttering in Flu
rope, especially in France, whose
WHY Emperor may now look for
a new era in his troubles in his
effort to establish the Latin race
in America.
