"WIpELy KNowN."--It is generally sup

taschoffs, Metternichs, and Garribaldis Of poll
itics are the men of worldwide renown, and
so they are where newspapers circulate, but
not much beyond. One Of our friends lately
returned from China, amuses US with the re-
cital of his journey inland for some distance,
where the euqu Try oftenest made when he

The Cholera.

We ask particular attention to
the order of Gen. Fisk, in this pa.
per. His suggestions ought to be
promptly adopted. IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound OF
cure" says trite and true adage.
BY keeping the thoroughfares,
small as we'll as great, in d clean
ly condition; by compelling the
owners of real estate to maintain
their buildings and yards in
wholesome order; by expelling the
atmosphere-poisoning nuisances,
the authorities would soon be able
to place us in a position to meet
even the cholera with equanimity,
if it should venture to come at
all after such preparations, and to
deprive it, in advance, sof its ia
tai character. With sanitary
measures effectively taken there
is no solid reason why even the
cholera should not be disarmed OF
its terrors and reduced to a very
common and manageable disorder
In Nashville, Murfreesboro, and
other towns, the corporate author
tiles are vigorously engaged In pre-
pairing for the pestilence. In Ath
ems, Ala, the mayor and aldermen
have advertised for two hundred
bushels of lime, to be purchased
by the corporation and distributed
gratuitously among the citizens
We trust the "fathers" of the va
rious towns in this county vii
follow these prudent examples
and adopt such measures as arr
calculated to preserve the health
of the community.

The Civil Rights Bill.

On Friday, 9th inst, this bill
passed the U. S. Senate by a two
thirds vote. It had been previ
ously vetoed by the President
We print the first two sections
that our readers may know what
the law is. There are eleven sec
tions in all, the last nine setting
forth how the two first shall be
carried into effect:
Section /. All persons born in
the United States, and not subject
to any foreign power, excepting
Indians not taxed, are hereby
declared to be- citizens of the Uni.
ted States, and such citizens of ev
cry race and color, without regard
to any previous condition of sla.
very or involuntary servitude,
except as q punishment for crime,
whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted, shall have the
same right in every State and Ter
ritory to make and enforce con.
tracts, to inherit, purchase, lease,
sell, hold, and convey real and
personal property, and to the full
and equal benefit Of all laws and
proceedings for the security of per
sons and property,as are enjoyed by
white citizens; and shall be sub
ject to like punishments, pains
and penalties, and to none other,
any law, statute, ordinance, regula-
tons or custom to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Sec. 2. And that person who,
under color of any law, statute or
ordinance, regulation or custom,
shall subject or cause to be sub
jected, any inhabitant of any
State or Territory to the depriva-
ton of any right secured or protec.
ted by this act, or to punishment,
pains or penalties on account of
such person having at any time
been held in condition of slavery
orinvoluntary servitude except as
punishment for crime whereof the
party shall have been duly con.
victed, or by reason of his color OF
race, than is prescribed for the
punishment of white persons;
shall be deemed guilty of a mis-.
demeanor, and on conviction shall
be punished by fine not exceeding

ceeding one year, or both, in the

We have heard itsuggested that
If the present fashion Of ladies'
dresses should prevail the coming
summer, we could have no need
Of a better or a more economic
means Of keeping our public thor
oughfares ii handsome order
The ladies wear their dresses of
such a length, that, sometimes,
we are inclined to entertain of
them the opinion held by the
nativesof the Moluccas in regard
to Birds of Paradise-viz: that
they have mo feet. An ill-natured
bachelor, though, insists, on the
contrary, that, Under such circum-
stances, many ladies have too mach.
A lady's train in ptomenading
the Square, becomes a curious
mausoleum of cigar-stumps, goob-
err shells, guilds of tobacco, and
ether uncleanness. How any fair
creature can thus dress up, mere
ly to make of herself q sort of
cart-horse to drag along the pave
ment a mound of accumulated
dirt, is little mysterious.

Fairbanks Scales.

In all business transactions re-
curing the use of Scales, it is of
great Importance to both buyer
and seller that only such should
be used as are reliable; otherwise,
discrepancies in weights, and oft
times serious losses and litigations,
are sure to follow.
1t is everywhere acknowledged,
and that, after the most extensive
use in all branches of business Tor
more than thirty years; and the
most thorough and varied tests,
that FAIRBANKS SCALES are ane-
gualled by any Others in correctness,
convenience and durability. They
are adapted to every branch of
business in which weighing is re.
uuired, and our Stock dealers and
large Farmers should have one OF
these designed for weighing cattle
and other live stock.
Every variety of these Scales
can row be had at Fairbanks
