The MERcILEss CHoLERA.-Here is,
copied from a late exchange paper, one
of the saddest instances Of the cholera's
ravages:
Last month a young couple were mar
ried, at Cleveland, Ohio, and three days
afterward, as they sat at breakfast, each
complained of being seriously i'll, and
neither could eat. The husband was
compelled almost Immediately to retire
to bed, and in a few minutes his wife
followed him. A physician was sent
for, who, after an examination of the
patients, pronounced their disease the
cholera. Immediate attention was given
them, but they both died the same even
ing. The bridegroom and bride were
robed in their wedding clothes, and
were buried in the same grave.

JEFF. DAVIS TO BE MADE CoNFoRTA-
BLE.-A correspondent, a few days ago,
visited Carroll Hall, a spacious building
within Fortress Monroe, erected origi-
nally to accommodate the officers on
duty, but lately made noteworthy as the
prison house of Jefferson Davis. A
number of men were engaged in remov-
ing the iron bars from the windows, and
making other alterations to contribute
to the comfort of Mr.. Davis. That in
teresting person and his family intend
to take up their quarters within the

for the Davises, and they will need'a

A MONSTER SUNDAY School. The
largest Sunday School in the world is at
Stockport, near Manchester, England.
In one building there are now over four
thousand under the same roof, divided
among eighty-six rooms. There are
over three hundred teachers, and all ex-
cept FIVE OF these have been scholars.
What is remarkable is that over two
thousand of the scholars are past SIX
teen years of age, and more of them are
boys than girls, and more of the teachers
are male than females. Beside instruc-
ton in the Scriptures, they teach writ
ing and elementary bookkeeping, with
no book used except the Bible. Agreat
portion Of the scholars are operatives in
the factory, and have no other means of
education.

TIE MANUFACTURES OF ALKALl.-rhe
manufacture OF alkali IN Great britain
il attended with one unwelcome circum-
stance the o~ut-pouring Of hydro-chIoric
acid. causing q blight on all vegetable
matter upon which it descends, and
which has in effect changed many beau
t;fpl districts in the immediate vicinity
of the works into black and barren
wastes. In consequence an Inspector
was appointed under the Alkali Act OF
1868, aud from his report we learn the
immense increase Of the trade within
the past few years. There are now con-
sumed in this manufacture BIS, 900 tons
Of salt every year-much more than the
entire produce of salt in our own coun-
try-and the reason of this is, that IN
England salt costs one dollar, and IN
this country fifteen dollars per ton. Al
though our natural are far
more extensive than those OF England
instead of manufacturing salt and soda
we have them manufactured in England
and brought to US W thousand miles
over the sea.-N. J. journal Of Mining
When the great Pacific Railroad has
full connection with the East, what a
reservoir of wealth the State OF Nevada
(being the greater portion of the Great
American Bssin) will prove itself to be
to the American Union-silver, gold,
and salt, and ~saltpetre., and pure alkall
made by nature in millions OF tons
with many fertile valleys, and a climate
unsurpassed for healthfuluess on the
continent. A few more years, and the
outside world will come to see us-and
our present dream of the great future
will be realized. The Great American
Desert our people are now civilizing will
in a few years become one of the love-
lest sections on the American CONT
nent. Our little "Silver Star" will
sparkle brightly in the armament Of the
galaxy of States-in wealth and all
other advantages possessed by a sove-
reign but loyal community.

MIGRATION IN MlssoURI.-Two con-

porous settlement upon the fertile but

western portion of that Statei and the
other is said to be made up of men who
were more or less involved in the recent

that account, with a view of settling in
Texas. The newspapers of Missouri APP
pea TO be encouraging both movements,
as well that outward from the State as
that into it. At this distance it seems
to Us that a large State like Missouri,
with such abundant resources, mineral
as well as agricultural, has need OF all
the labor and all the population that 1t
may have q chance to command. And
q much wiser plan than encouraging
n part of the population to move out

litical passions in such subsection to
order, in the interest of all, as TO make
the States sufficiently attractive to re-
tain all the people who come into it.
