EXEMPTION OF THE jews FROM THE
CHoLERA.-Re Referring to the fact, that
the Jews have almost universally been
exempt from the ravages of the chole-
"a now prevailing in Europe, the
Chicago Tines says ;..-.4.s j.,
The probable rationale of the es.
cape of the Jews from attack by chol.
era is owing not so much to, Q disbe-
lief ID the nev testament as 10 the
cleanliness Of their food and their per-
sons Their selections of snimal food
do not embrace some Of the grosser
kinds, and which they do eat is pre-.
pared with care. Their additions is
part of their religion, and this is pre-
Rvsntiye against cholera than which
there is nothing better. Therefore let
people who wish TO guard against this
.courge join the Jews if they wish to.
But there may be those who dislike
ClEcutuc1ofoH, 1u0 Wuo'uafc~ uot tIuc
to look through the talmud and the
Jewish theology; and to these we
would suggest that an imitation ofthe
Jewish cleanliness and care 10 the Sc.
lection of food are, in the main, as ef.
ficatious representatives. against cholera
as full membership Of q synagogue.

who are busy gathering in the cotton
and sweet potatoes. Of the latter
there is an abundant crop, which

night a couple Of negroes with a
mule and wagon were detected by
Mr.. JEFFERSON THOMAS and others

on the spot under suspicious circum-

connected with the negroes in the
cotton transaction. he was arrested
and brought to town for trial before

The mule and wagon are the prop
erty Of one L. FRANck, Of this city,
and from statements made BY the in

the whole plan for stealing the cotton
was arranged by said FRANCK.
We learn that LEWIS eNoBLET, bet
ter known hereabouts as LEWIS TEs.
SER, had always borne very good
character, previous to his unfortunate
participation in this affair.

TIMELY ORDER. We are glad to
see it stated from Washington, that
Gen. GRANT has issued an order to
commanders Of posts where powder is
stored, to take precautions for its pre-
servation. AT this point, and also as
we learn from our exchanges, at Cairo,
New Orleans and other places, the de-
post Of powder is so immense as to
excite fearful apprehensions, lest by
some accident or other an explosion of
that material might occur which would
involve the most terrible and whole
sale destruction Of life and property
We think it would be right and pro-
per for the civil and military author
tiles to demonstrate with the Govern
ment as early as possible, against the
concentration at any one point or IN
any one magazine, Of such overwhelm-
ing quantities of the article, and to
earnestly request, that measures be
speedily taken to remove the great and
imminent risk incurred from the fore
going cause, by lessening the quanti-
ties of power stored to maximum

g@- The history of Mexico shows
that during the last forty years Mexi-
Of has had thirty.seven different forms
Of government, thirty.two Of which
were Republic and seventy five
Presidents It's revolutions during
that time have amounted to over two
hundred. Many years since q Mexi-
can protectorate was urged upon the
United State Senate by Gen. Houston,
upon the ground that the Mexican
people otherwise would fall prey to
some European power. The project
was condemned and abandonded. But,
perhaps in view Of the past and pre-
sent, it would have been well.

REVOLVING ExHIBITIoN.-For the
last few days large crowds have been
seen assembled in corner of the court
house square, staring with stupid won
derment at one of the most repulsive
exhibitions ever shown to the public.
In small covered wagon, drawn, by
two dogs, sits manned soldier, or q
man in soldiers attire, a woman and a
little girl. The group sitting there
stretch out their eager hands on every
side, for time, gathering in the five
cent pieces that are thrust upon them
on every side.
When they have got sufficient to re.
ward them for exhibiting, the woman
deliberately unhooks her dress in front
and there the wonder.s seekers see coil.
ed up in her bosom rattlesnake,
about four feet in length. As soon as
it is exposed the reptile shoots out its
bead, darting it rapidly to and fro,
and slowly uncoils itself, as the woman
taking it from its warm nest, holds it
for inspection, while the man narrates
how every third day she suckles it as
she would child, She then slowly
rolls up again around her head and re.
turn it to its former quarters.
This exhibition is of itself stuff eient-
ly disgusting, but it is followed by
another still more so. The man, re.
moving his bat from his head, passes
his fingers through his hair and draws
from its nest among the shaggy locks
spotted toad, black and yellow, which
he permits TO crawl around his neck
and over bis face. The man boasts
that there is no show in America
equal to this extraordinary exhibition.
He might boast with truth that there
is not one to be seen equally disgust.
