MINERALooY.-We have been shown by a
gentleman latelyIarrived in this city says the
Los Angeles News, some very fine speci-
mems OF valuable mineral known as Ligni
form Asbestus 1t has every appearance Of
being pulp from paper mill. It was known
to the anc;ents. and used by them for en-
wrapping the dead, and also in later years
used for various useful purposes, such as the
manufacture Of paper. As its name i'm.
plies. it is woody, 6brous substance, We
can see no reason why it should not be used
for various useful purposes. such as the man
ufacture Of paper for bank bills, firemen's
clothing, etc. The geuuiness Of bank bills
manufactured from this material could be
easily tested, as it ress's the action Of fire.
We consider this a very important discovery

The late Judge Collamer used to give the
following order of business in The Uni ted
States Senate: First" said the Judge, have
prayer by the chaplain; next the reading
of the journal; then Wilson introduces a bill;
then Sumner makes a classical speech; then
Fessenden gets mad, and then the Senate
adjourns." This order has undergone very
little change since Judge Colamer's death.
First, prayer; next reading the journal; then
Wilson introduces bill; then Sumner makes
an assault upon the President; then some.
body proposes TO amend the Constitution,
and then the Senate adjourns.

TAXATION IN ENoLAND.-Nearly all the
duties upon what are strictly the necessaries
of life have been removed. All that enters
into the construction Of dwellings, is abso'
lutely free from taxation. There is no duty
upon bricks, glass or iron. All that enter
into the clothing of the poor is free from tax
alton. Bread and meat are subjected to no
tax whatever. The same with cheese, eggs,
fruits, etc. And, turning from the necessa-
ries to the comforts of life there is a vast and
wonderful change for the better. We re
member when sugar paid as much as three
pence sterling pound Of duty. Now, it
only pays one penny. 1t is only few years
since the duty on tea was four shilIings
sterling pound. To-day it is only sixpence
pound. Of course all such articles as s,im.
ulants, whether spirits or tobacco, are highly
taxed. Mr.. Gladstone states that from the
tax on tobacco alone almost enough revenue
is collected to pay the interest on the ma
tional debt.

A HARD Hrr.-The New York CONNER.
cial Advertiser (Repubican) thus refers to
the class of Republicans in Congress who
voted for negro suffrage there, but whose
constituents oppose it at home:
it were only possible for the Republ.
cans to be as honest in regard to suffrage in
Connecticut, in New York, in Illinois. for
instance, as they are in a community where
they have no interest except as satraps, it
would be an encouraging sign, but in the
present infirmity of human nature we must
expect to see them busy in removing notes
from eyes south of the Potomac, while they
wink at beams in eyes east of the Hudson.
and north of the Ohio. 1t is refreshing to
see the names Of the four Republican men,
bers from Connecticut recorded in favor of
measure repudiated by the Republicans OF
their own State. 1t shows how careful we
are of the conscieuces Of others, and how
mindless of their own.

THE CHOLERA MANAGEABLE.-Dr. Sawyer,
in communication TO the Board of Health
Of New York, treats cholera as manage
able disease, whose progress can be checked
by the taking of very simple precautions,
while any community can easily protect
itself against the introduction of the plague.
He declares it 10 be portable, not infectious,
but is communicated mainly by the dejec
tions of persons infected with the disorder.
Thus, to quote an abstract:
"A person infected with the cholera di'
arrhea may leave the seeds Of the plague
in dozen places on his route Of travel, and
yet recover himself. Every privy used thus
becomes an agency for injecting all who Wis
it it. This explanation accounts for cholera
always keeping along lines Of travel first
and its remarkable fatality in crowded and
filthy localities, as we'll as in large establish
ments where the water closets are used by
many persons. 1t also explains why it new
er travels any faster than human being car
and also why it is that it sometimes passe:
over large sections Of country to break out
in apparently remote localities"
"If (says the World) this is the correct
theory of the spread Of the disease. it is al
once robbed of all its terrors; because clean
liness and care are all that are needed to
prevent its propagation. The case Of the
atlanta shows that quarantine is efficacious,
if rigidly enforced"

ORGANIzE.-Never since the triumph of
fanatcsm have the prospects of the Democ-
racy been so bright as they are to-day. The
heart of every true patriot bounds with JOY,
because Of the gallant conduct of Andrew
Johnson. He has planted himself upon the
"Constitution as it was," and the waves of
faction beat against his granite will in vain
The hour has arrived when Democrats should
rally to his support against the horde Of Ab-
oliton disunionists, who are striving to drive
him from bis present bold and lofty position
If he stands firm, the country is safe. Should
he falter, it will rest upon the unconquered
Democracy of the land to uphold our free
institutions. Let then Democrats tbrough>
out the State combine for this noble purpose.
In Union is strength. Organize Democratic
clubs; meet and confer with each other. By
such cooperation, and an ordinary degree
of zeal and activity, in all time to come,
Democratic triumph is sure.-Eranainer.

CURE FOR THE CoNsUMTIoN.-It has been

by the constant and continued use of pap
made with the -four of maize Of good quality
this is essential. An eminent French ply
sician, who has great experience on the sub
ject, recommends that, on the first appearance
Of the malady the pap should be made to
constitute the chief article of food. 1t is pre-
pared by adding the maize TO mixture of
half milk and half water. This is to be kept
stirred on the fire until it boils; after which
the fire is to rendered less intense by the
addition of cinders, and the pap is to be left
for eight or ten minutes, wthou: being stir
ed. |, is then to be taken from the FIRE, and
little salt is to be put in it. If the patient
cannot take milk, broth may be substituted
for it, or water-butter being added-but
milk is best.

that the preservation Of the relation of mas

assert that American slavery is a blessing;
blessing to the non stakeholder of the South,
blessing to the civilized white race in gen
eral and blessing to the negro slaves in
particular.
Brownlow in 1S65.-The history of the
past shows to every candid mind that slavery
has conferred no benefits upon Tennessee.
1t has been a stumbling block in the way Of
her advancement. Her people have felt the
effect Of its degrading influence, and her
growth and prosperity have been retarded
by the exclusion from her borders of both
capital and educated labor.

the responsibilities of citizen 10 govern
ment which can only exist on basis Of in
teligence and virtue. He should think most
Vorthily of slavery to justify his present
course-or much acorse of 1t, and then act
more srisely."
The remedies proposed by Major Lawrence
for the evils to which his letter is devoted,
are plain and practical, and the only ones
likely to prove at all effective. he says:
Now, what is to be done with this ignor.
ant, degraded element, which may. if not
wisely controlled, push back, if it does not
overwhelm, civilization here at the South?
While elevated and enlightened by all avail
able means it must, at the same time, be
held in check in its evil tendencies by stern.
ly repressive laws. The criminal must be
punished; the idle must be forced to work.
The children homeless, and deserted, or Of
parents unfit guardians for them, as mos.
are, should be apprenticed. The men should
he forced to enter into contracts and abide
by them"
This will no. be paatable to the radicals
in Congress, and we fear that the days OF
Major Lawrence's official career are num-
bered. But he has written the kind OF
common sense which appeals to the reason
of common people. He has told the truth,
greatly to the enlightenment Of the North,
Tribune, and all the score Of newspapers en-.
gage in printing the scandal and malicious
tattIe Of anonymous and irresponsible corr
respondents as an authentic picture Of the
condition of the South.
