The political news from Europe to

New York yesterday, appears to be
somewhat favorable for ultimate paciii.
cation and settlement of the German
question. The Invitations for an Eu-
ropcan Congress, heretofore reported,
had been accepted by the great powers,
and the convention in Paris was antici-
pated at an early day, though hopes Of
war being averted, were entertained only
BY minority. Austria after having
modified an army of 100000 men, had
called for another CONSUMPTION, which
was giving great dissatisfaction. Prus-

TREATMENT OF CHOLERA.

Cholera is almost invariably preceded
by a painless diarrhea, and this is in all
clses to be promptly treated. When
diarrhea is present go TO bed, and maintain
a position on the back. Use abundance Of
blankets, aud send for physician.
A physician can always be obtained by
applying to the nearest Police Station.
Stay in bed until you are we'll. Do not
consider yousef well until you have had q
movement from the bowels. Abstain from
all drinks. Apply mustard-plasters to the
bowels.
In the absence of physician, an adult
can take 10 drops of laudanum and 10 drops
of spirits of camphor. A child Of 6ve
years may take five drops of laudanum
and five of camphor. A child of FIVE years
may take three drops of laudanum and
three Of spirits of camphor, and these doses
may be repeated every 20 minutes, SO long
as diarrhea or pain, or vomiting continues.

The Preventior OF Cholrrm.


DIR. Stone, Chairman Of the Sanitary Com
mi,tee, Of New York City, read an addreus

together with some rules in regard 10 its
treatment. Thirty thousand copies Of each
of these were ordered to be printed for
public distribution. The following are cop.

CHOLERA.
The Board Of Health publish this simple
statement, and beg the public TO give to il
thsir earnest attention.
Cholera is generally prepenfibfs disease,
and ia the early stages can be arrested, II
the habits be good. Study, therefore, tenn
perdncs IN eating and drinking. Do not
believe that alcoholic sfimuldafs are useful
in guarding you against an attack. Let the
food be nutritious, and keep the digestive
organs in healthful condition. use no
stale or uneooked vegetables, Let your
meat be fresh and your vegetables be we'll
cooked, and all fruits DO fresh and ripe.
ClsD,liness Of the body is sf the first con.
sideraton. Keep the skin in q healthy
state by bathing the whole body, with y
free use of eoap, Cold bathing is best used
in tho morning--never before just going to
bed. Dry frictions or the warm bath may
be more safely used just before going to
bed.
Cleanliness in your houses is of equal
importance. Let your apartments be dry
never damp. Suffer no decayed vegetable
or staguant water to remain in your cellar
or yards. Any disagrecabls smell from
lpiivies, cess-pools, or sinks, Ia q proof OF
their unhealthfulness Remove them by
necessary repairs, lime, chloride Of lime, or
white-washng. Ventilate well your
houses and apartments. Expose your bed

fatigue. Keep regular hours in eating and
sleeping. Wear flannel next to the skin

your boots and clothes as soon as possible

mont tm Relation GO Cholera.

DR.. T. S. Bell, an old and eminent plysi-
clan of Louisville, man of acquirements,
wide observation and experience, said the
other day, at meeting of the Louisville
College OF Physicians and Surgeons:
"The cholera has never risen to any
great height perpendiculary except where
it has been forced up. Naturally it cannot
seriously affect the second story OF any
good residence. Hights have always been,
when properly guarded, secure refugees
from cholera. Elevated buildings or high
walls have been perfectly exempt, while
conterninous places were ravaged. Mos
COW has been repeatedly invaded in
quarters along the low banks of the Moskwa,
but there has never been case of the
disease in the elevated Krenin. The
monastcries with high walls in Italy, France
and Spain, hpve, with great uniformity,
escaped the disease.
| "The cause of cholera acts alone at night
and upon sleeping persons No amount OF
exposure in the worst localities of the dis-
ease imperils the wakeful, moving individ-
ual. have seen hundreds of instances OF
this fact, without one alteration from the
statement of the proposition. ! have my
self spent many night in these localities
during the ravages Of tho epidemic, and
never felt that | was in any peril where
kept awake, and the best security for that
is to keep in motion"
So this distinguished practitioner inti-
mates that attention to our sleeping apart
ments is quite as important as the other pre-
cautionary steps which are more frequently
urged in the newspapers. Look where you
sleep for it seems that the epidemic is more
dangerous when il steals on one "like q
! thief in the night"

short sermon by RrOwnlow.

The rebels often li&en themselves to the
Prodigal Son, and think that they should
be received, like him, on the first signs of
repentance. Parson Brownlow--for he is
none the less the parson now that he has
become Governor-shows up the points of
difference very effectively. He says:
"First-The Prodiga Son did not secede;
The went with his fathers consent and, as
the Scriptures indicate, with his blessing.
Next. he went; he did not stay and vIllify
tho old man in his own house. He asked
for something to start him in the world he
did not present pistol to the old mans
breast and demand his greenbacks or
watch. He received the portion his father
gave him he did not press it--a modern
southern name for stealing. And. receiv
ing it, lie started out 'to seek his fortune
He did not retire to the south side of the
old mans farm, and Join band of robbers
who were plundering the old man and his
law.abiding neighbors. Receiving his por-
country. Finally, he repented of his folly,
not because the old mau whipped him into
repentance, but because he came to him
self and saw that he had wasted his sub.
stance in riotous living. He went back
home not with murder in his heart, boast
ing how many he had killed and threaten
ing what he would do, but he bowed down
in honest contriticn and asked all sorts
of pardon. lie didn't return saying,
have fought you four years and until was
overpowered,' but went back crying Faith.
er, | have sinned against Heavsn and in
thy sight, and am no more worthy to he
called thy son. and imploringly said, Make
mo as one of thy hired servants He went
home because, throughout his entire course
of riotous living, his heart was there. llt
did not return demanding his rights hii
property and back rents. lie did not asl
instant pardon upon the faith of an oatl
of amnesty, but proposed to prove his repep
tance genuine by his works The story o
the Prodigal Son is one of sincere, deep
heartfelt and voluntary repentance for {
great wrong. Do our returning rebels
cume repenting of their unparalleled crimes
As long as rebellion showed any signs O.
success, did these rebels show any signs o
repentance ? All who return peaceably +
their homes, cultivate friendly relations
and abstain from hostile acts, discouuter
9ncing every attempt at disorder, shoul
be met with the same spirit and treate
with leniency. When they manifest a hos
tile spirit, make them bite the dust"

"It is evening now the great moon is

vivid WAS her description so unearthly her
look, SO inspiring her manner, that what
she described seemed actually TO have
taken place then aud there. They noticed,
also, that the bridegroom hid his face in
his hands and was weeping.

quiveriug faster and faster, aud her voice
more and more broken, "0ud there they

with agony. He raised his head, but in

She lifted the glittering goblet, and let

dashed into thousand pieces. Many
fearful eye watched her movement, and in
simultaneously every glass was transferred
to the marble table on which it had beer
prepared. Then, as she looked at the frag
ments of crystal, she turned to the CON
pany saying: "Let no friend hcroafte

subdued manner took part in the entertain

20 read that he too, had determined to das
the enemy at once and forever from h

can never forget that impression 7
solemnly made. Many from that hour for
