tion.


columns on the 7th instant.
The prescription was used
with remarkable success by the
Doctor on his plantation, in
this State, in 1882, and again in
his practice in this city in the
epidemic of 1849. We are
credibly informed, by old resi-
dents of this city, that the Doe
tor lost few or no cases in his
extensive private practice in
1849.
The foImula, as given to us,
contemplates a larger quality
something over a pint) than
may be needed by a small fam
lily, but it can be prepared in
smaller quantities by any COM
petent druggist. The compo-
nent parts are
Ten ounces French Brandy.
Ten dRachms Ess. of Pepper
mint.
Ten drachms Etherial Tinct
of Valerian.
Ten drachms Spirits Of Cam
phor.
Ten drachms Tinct red pepper.
Seven drahms Tinct of Opium.
Five drahms of Tinct of
Catechu.
Two ounces Syrup of Ginger.
Small doses, say from 10 to
80 drops after each discharge
from the bowels, will generally
check common diahrra. In
case of an actual attack Of
cholera, doses varying in guam
tity from a tea-spoonful to q
tablespoonful every 5, 10, o.
20 minutes, according to the
age of the patient and the vio-
lence of the attack viii soon
check the disease.
A gentleman of our acquain
tance informs us that it was
used, with complete success il
his fathers family in 1S49, anC
that it was rarely found neces
sary to administer more thar
three or four doses of it to ;
patient before reaction was oh
tanned and the disease checked
and in one very severe case
that of a negro servant of th
family-external application o
dry mustard, by rubbing, wa
found to have a good effect, il
conjunction with the use of th
, medicine.
/ The same gentleman wa
himself attacked with choler
while walking in the street:
, but having a phial of the med
cine constantly in his pocket
! made use of it upon the spo
without waiting to get home
/ and with success.
Fl The Doctor had advised a
his friends to have the medicin

THE LAST Unsatisfactory minister who
has been a successor can bear witness to the
infections which must be borne, for some
months at least, from the oft repeated and te-
dious and Improbable descriptions of his pre-
decessor. 1t is a staple of conversation until
the subject is worn threndhare. When the
weather is "done up" and other topics fail and
conversation drags, then the minister and his

shown up, according to the likes or dslikes of
the parish. What he did and what he omitted
to doi what he said, and what he didn't say /;
how he preached, and how he prayed; how he
visited here, and how he didn't visit there;
how be attracted, and how he rebeed; what
time he got up, and what time he went to bed;
these, and hundred other things are described
and discussed and relailed, until the very name
pals the ear, and the successor wishes that his
predecessor had never been horn Now il is
kindly and pleasant for the parish to remem-
Der its minister, and to speak well of him, If
they can, AMI i'll Of him as little as they can !;
but well or i'll, prasing or blaming, for or

The FIRST VETo OF SOUTH CAROLINA
GovERNoR.-Under the old Constitution of
South Carolina the veto power was not vested
in the Governor. but the new Constitution has
coniormed in this respect to that of the other
States.
The first occasion of the exercise of this new
ly given power by Gov. Orr was, says the Ne,c
York Post, remarkably enough, in regard to an
"act to amend the patrol laws" which, in eff
feet, re-established the police regulations with
regard to freedmen which had once controlled
them as slaves.
1t is 10 Gov. Orr's lasting credit, and affords
some encouragement as 10 the better condition
of the freedmen in South Carolina, that he We
toed this act, and the reasons he gives, as just
published in the Charleston Courier, give evi.
dence that he at least is prepared To accept in
good faith all the legitimate consequences oil
the emancipation ordinance. The Governor
says, that having accorded freedom TO the Atri-
can race in their midst, the people Of South
Carolina are bound by duty and policy alike
ito give him all the concomilans of what he
regards as SO great a boom lie has done
himself honor in thus maintaining the rights
OF the freedmen and the good faith OF the
State.

serve College, and more lately a professor in
the Chicago Iheolo, lcal Seminary, which he
has been mainly instrumental in raising to its

consent TO leave it, will lose in him its most
able and efficient officer. He is widely known
throughout the country, among other things,
by an address delivered at Dartmouth College,
three or four years ago, on the subject of Pop
ular Education, which, by its strong, broad and

to the present departments, Professorship of
Modern Languages; Professorship of Chem

Mechanic Arts also of Geology, Mineralogy
and Mining. and department OF Military Tao

ecuting attorney, lawyer by the name OF La
mon, was man of great physical strength, and
took particular pleasure in athletic sports, and
was so fond of wrestling that his power and ex-
perience rendered him formidable and gener-

the fall Lamon was wrestling near the court
house with some one who had challenged him
to trial. and in The scuife made a large rent
in the rear of is'unmenlionables Before he
had time to make any change he was called in
TO court to take up a case. The evidence was
finished, and Lamon got up to address the jury
and having on a somewhat short coat his mis-
fortune was rather apparent. One OF the law
yers, for joke started a subscription paper,
which was passed from one member of the bar
to another as they sat by long table fronting
the bench, to buy pair Of pantaloons for La
mon, "he being" the paper said, ga poor but

names with some ludcrous subscription, and
finally the paper was laid by some one in front
