The following item from Naples paper,
in relation to proceedings in our Congress,
says the Springfield (hIsss.) Republican, is
some reports made by Washington CORE

Each member sits at his desk writing let

post his letters he claps his hands for a mes

his children to the House as convenient
play ground for them. While gentleman

other members come round him and poster

The brevet rank system to be extended So

THE APPROACHING CHOLERA
SEASON.

As the cholera season is approaching II il
important that the attention Of the people
should be directed towards certain rules by
which to govern themselves, in view of the
epidemic.
We would recommend, for instance, thai
ladies riding in the street cars should, in.
stead Of sitting as compactly as possible,
according TO their present custom, spread
themselves out so as that four of them shall
ruyer the space OF Elk seats. This Will DO
found very healthy practice.
BARRIERS should be particular to detain us
long as possible, by their ever fascinating
conversation, those customers with whom
they have ''scraped" an acquaiptance, keep
ing others waiting, and thus saving then
from rushing to their business too hastily.
Boarding house keepers should have theil
carving knives ground to the utmost sharp
ness, in order that they may cut very thin
slices, and thus prevent their boarders from
overlooking their stomachs.
Washerwomen should be particular to
bring home shirts minus their buttons, as il
is supposed that the choler excited by button
less collars is an antidote for cholera
Railroad-track repairers should note care
fully the loosening of rails, letting then
alone, and recording the time that elspse!
between the first starting up of the end of Q
rail and the viatricide or railroad slaugh
ter" that will result, and save u number o.
persons from liability to take the disease
Depot superintendents will likewise ind it
very interesting to note the growing care
lessnoss of switchmen-those expert viatri-
cides-watching their increasing indifference
to put several travellers beyond the reach oil
the Asiatic pestilence.
Considerable may be done in our own be,
loved city in the way of leaving open pitfalls
and mantraps where excavations in the
streets arc going on, and where persons can,
with great convenience, escape the cholera
by breaking their uecks, and various nuts.
ances existing will serve that end by Undue.
ing typoid fevers and other malignant dis,
cases, which will snatch people away from
the reach Of the much dreaded epidemic.
Members of Congress can do good dea
in the way of diverting the minds of Their
constituents from the contemplation of the
impending plague by multiplying and ampl
flying their speeches. A person could moi
we'll be seized with cholera while perusinJ
an eloquent and elaborate speech upol
the great questions of the day, and the rule
Of the House might be amended so as t.
double the time allowed members in debate
Many other hints for the guidance of va
rious classes will suggest themselves t
thoughtful people, and will, we trust, b
communicated to the public.

GENERAL BANKS, SPEECH.

Tho Philadelphia Ledger of this morning
in an able editorial article, sets forth the
principal points of General BANKS speech
upon the exhibition Of American products In
the Paris Exposition in 1867, concluding
with the following paragraph:
Tho address absorbed the undivided atten-
ton of the House, and General Banks was
paid the rare compliment of an unanimous
call to 60 on after the hour allotted to him
had expired. The result Of his eloquent ap-
peal was that the appropriation he asked for,
and the use Of the naval vessels provided for
in his bill, were granted by a large vote. A
work so admirably and auspiciously begun
should now receive the active, energetic,
hearty support Of the whole people, for the
great objects to be gained, and their iniu-
ence on the future Of our country, are be-
yond all calculation,

Until some proof is adduced that "the

regard such intimations as disgraceful, and
those who make them as violating the COM
