The Picayne Of yesterday has the following:
hieS"rS' Editors. The people Of tue city of New
Orleans have great deal to say of laIG about an
epidemic which has been very fashionable on
Eastern continent during the past year or two.
refer to the choera-so named after Gomez al.
Cholera Specific" 20 ST. Charles street.
One peculiarly attending this scourge is this.
when it gets started II never knows when to stop
and that is what troubles this people.
Another popularity which characterizes cholera
u.s. it can't take hint It first came to America
in 1892 and for twenty-five years it rendered itself
so obnoxious it was finally kicked out of the coun-
try altogether, but as soon as the place stopped
smarting, it came back again. like a persistent
office seeker or discarded lovyer.
1t has come back after another kick, | suppose,
and it will get it, if it ever against "Gonegals
Cholera Specific, 20 st. Charles street.
1t is reasonable to suppose you. never had the
cholera, Mr.. Editor ] never knew but one editor
to catch it, and the reason it visited - him was
because he neglected his duties, and suffered him
self to be elected to Congress The cholera
caught him before he reached Washington, and
he never served his country in that choleric city.
There are two reasons why the cholera never
attacks editors yes, three. First, their sanctums
are generally so small they will not accommodate
two evils at one and the same time, 1.-THE first being
necessary evil, and the second an Asiatie evil)
Second, editors and printers rule out the enemy,
while actively employed, and third, every editor
in good standing uses daily HubbelI's cabinet
brandy, in moderation, Of course THAT is what
makes his standing good,l and he who does that is
as proof-fourth proof-agaiDst the cholera, as
Charleston against the guns of the enemy, or as
President Johnson is against the caumnies Of his
enemies. This brandy aud AsiatiC cholera can
never live in the same house together. The one
that gets possession first holds it in spite Of the
efforts of the other.
But all this alarm about the coming cholera is
unnecessary. 1t can be kept out Of the country in
various ways. Congress can keep it out in the
same way it keeps out the members from the
Southern States-by not letting it in. Let
''cholera bill" be passed at once The President
would not veto it 1t is true, he would not let
Colorado in, but that il d horse of another color
ado He, the President would have no objection
to have little cholera visit Washington, provided
it would attack only those he would point out, but
the truth is, the most obnoxious are guarding
against it by using Russs st. Domingo punch, st.
Domingo btters, st, Domingo wine, messna punch,
imperial arrack punch mint juep, London cordial
gin, cocktail bitters, gin cocktail, Bourbon cock
tail brandy cocktail, choice old Cognac brandy,
purest blackberry brandy, old cherry brandy,
Bourbon whisky, Scotch whisky, choice Madeira
wine, choice sherry wine, choice port wine choice
Jamaica rum, choice st. Croix rum, choice Holland
gin and all the rest of RUSS constitutional prep
arations, for which James CONCEAL, 20 st. Charles
street is sole agent.
4 You may prove an exception to the rule, Mr. e.
Editor, and catch the cholera, in which case you
should know it, so as to treat it right at once for
it is disease that admits of delay. Therefore,
