A CoNucAn CAsE.-We were in
formed, yesterday, of d wonderful
cure of case of cholera, made by
one OF our resident physicians upon
the person of freedman" who
happened to be well supplied with
greenbacks to pay for the privilege of
being cured. He was attacked with
the dread scourge, and q doctor was
sent for, who prescribed brandy
bath to start with. A large bathing
tub was procured for the performance
of the operation, and twelve gallons
of brandy purchased to put outside
of the negro and inside Of the bath
tub. After all the preliminaries were
arranged the colored subject was
doused, not like the philosophical
Diogenes of old, i'll a sitting attitude,
but laid in horizontally, after whicn
he underwent a scrubbing, such as
darkey never had before, and which
would have caused all cholera-dis-
posed colored folks TO look aghaSt.
could they have witnessed the opera
ton. After being thoroughly rubbed
and saturated by the physician, Mr..
African was pronounced cured; and,
upon paying 500 greenback as
medical fee, besides ninety-two dol
lars for the brandy, he went his way
rejoicing, doubtless we'll satisfied that
he still lives, and can afford to have
cholera again, if necessary It is
stated that an ocean cable telegram
has been received from n renowned
manufacturer of perfumerv to secure
the liquid remains of that bath, for
conversion into mightblooming ccre-

s.Does the Register contend that
an Illinoisan has no right to take up
his residence in the South, and advo-
cate principles of liberty and equali-
ty?'-Hd7Yo,W Couram
Certainly not. Anybody has a
right to take up his residence where
he pleases, if he behaves himself pro-
perly, but "Judge Yarmouth" has no
right to travel through the North
representing himself as q Southern
man, when all he knows Of the South
cru people is derived from a wal resi-
dence in New Orleans ofa few months
who has no idea of returning
among them-and who is spending
his breath in traducing them, and
slandering the President. This is
what no Illinoisan has right to do.
and what no honest man Will attempt
doing. The stuff about his being
''drivcn to the North for safety" is
falsehood entirely. unless he is fugi-
tive from justice There are hun
dreds of men from New Haven Coun-
ty doing business in Southern cities
many of whom we have seen the
past summer-and all bear testimony
to the fact that they are as kindly
treated as if at home We have Yam
kee-born subscribers in every South
ern State-and in nearly every letter
we receive is this slander pointedly
rebuked. 1t is the enemies of recon
ciliation who are sowing these tares.

The Church's Greatest Need.

More than minister's, more than ,missiona-
ries, more than money, does the Church need
members thoroughly pervaded by the spirit Of
Jesus Christ; men who prove by their lives
the power of those truths which ministers
proclaim and missionaries teach; whose relig-
ion is SO essentially part and parcel of the
man, that it not only keeps him out ofmuch
temptation, but enables him to overcome, and
to gain the victory over the world viii lie living
in it. The Church has some potable exam
pies of such piety. Its possessors are honored
in all spheres of life, and honored always as
Christians. Whether they are engaged in
trade or professional duty, in political or in So
cial life, they are recognized always and every
where as Christians. But we need more than
these comparatively few and isolated examples
in the Church. Every Christian ought to be
such man, making use of all his lowers, and
opportunities, and resources in the in terest of
his master.-IN. Y. Observer.

and those who had used them this objection was
overcome.
After is years exertions, commencing in q small
