:. Prepare for Cholera -


Under this head the Relief Committee Of
the Young Mems Christian Association Of
Chicago have issued the following circulsr,
copies of whioh are for distribution. The
directions herein contained are well worthy
of being headed:
There is every reason to expect that the
cholera villbe here by the middle Of May
or the frst Of June. Its victims viii be
principally: Il.
1st. Those who use intoxicating drinks.
ID Those who are not clearly in their
persons and houses. 5
Sd. Those who are ire gular in their hab
it's, keeping unreasonable hours, eating
irregularly, a.
4th. Those living in filthy, dirty localities
TO PREPARE FOR CHOLERA.
1st. Be scrupulously clean in person, bath
ing The body daily, and keeping the entire
clothing clean.
Cd Clean thoroughly, md whitewash your
rooms, outhouscs and premises generally.
Sd. Sec that.no swiil, garbage, or other
refuse matter is thrown either on your lot,
street or alley. Clean up thoroughly your
whole premises, in doors and out, and set an
example Of cleanliness to your ncighbors.
Ath. If your landlord refuses or neglects
to do his duty in putting his houses and lots
in proper order, report him 10 the Health
Officer or our Visitor in your district
5th Abstain from all Intoxicating drinks,
ale and beer, rs well as whiskcy.
9th. Use simple, wholesome food, thor
oughly cooked, avoiding stale vegetables OF
tainted meats. Do not give way to fear OF
panic This will increase your danger
Cholera will in most cases yield to skilfu
treatment if taken in the first stages,
Watch for the FIRST SYMPTOM, which is usually
darrhca. Do not neglect it for single
hour, however mild it may be. Delays arc
dangerous. Avoid all nostrums and adver.
tised Y cholera medicines (most Of them
will do more harm than good. Apply al
once to some reliable physician. None Of
our physicians will refuse their services at
such Lime to the poorest. -,
Lastly, hut first In Importance, prepare
for il by giving your heart TO the Lord Jesus
Christ Then you viii be fitted for either
life or death. You maysnot fallsby cholera
this summer. But death is certain to all
and may come to you soon. If yoa are a
Christian you are safe; if not, you are I'M
safe, and cannot be at peace. " BE ye also
ready. for in such an hour as We think not
the Son Of Man cometh.''

TROUBLE ABOUT CoNFIscATED Pro
rERTY IN FAoR1DA.-A despatch from
New Orleans states that official reports
from Florida indicate considerable i'll
feeling between the citizens there,
arising from the possession of confis-
Gated property, by parties who pur-
chased real estate at Confederate con
fiscation sales refusing to relinquish
their claims to their refugee sYners.
The courts in some Counties sustained
the holders of such property, but
issued writs Of ejectment against per-
sons holding property confscate6 and
sold by the United States Govern
ment. General Foster, commanding
the State, thinks that the troops can
not!be safely removed.

WHO WILL PAY THEIR DEBTS p
If the State Governments at the South
are abrogated; and the States are
converted into Territories, governed
by Congress, who will pay their pre-
sent State debts Some of them
owe, as States, from forty to fifty
millions; their obligations are held in
Europe. and throughout the North
and East in this country. IF the
States are abolished by Congress, the
debtor disappears by the act of Con-
gress, and the creditor is left minus
State bonds. This is Summers wis

POLITICAL PRAYING. The partizan-
ship that must Extensively obtrude
itself in the supplication made at the
Throne Of Grace is so offensive and
so desecrating, that it is. difficult to
characterize it as it deserves. We
omitted from the House proceedings,
the first day, the prayer of the chap
lain, the Rev. DR.. Boynton, because
we could not publish it without pro
test, and we, therefore, preferred not
publishing it ut all. But here is what
radical correspondent of radical
newspaper says. We quote from the
Washington correspondence of the
Brooklyn lnioa, of the 9TH instant,
italics and all:
''An unusually large attendance OF
the members were present, and when,
at the hour of noon, the sharp rap OF
the Speakers gavel arrested the at
tention Of the whole assemblage, and
prayer was announced, all the mem
bers engaged, with unusual devotion,
in the exercise. The Chaplain of the
House, the Rev. DR.. Boynton, then
made a radical stump speech, eritA his
eyes shut This must have been dis
tasteful to the piety of the Democratic
members ~
This is not the questionable cen
sure of partizan foe, but the salient
criticism of political friend.

AN ENGLISH OPINION OF OUR Mex
IcAN RELATIONS. The London Times,
by last advices, had no doubt that
Maximilian had abdicated, and
looked forward to the intervention of
the Washington Government as the
next step. THAT inter> alton will
be popular instead of unpopular, and
cheap instead of costly. The Ameri-
cans. will enter the country as friends,
they will hunt its enemies down, and
thus render civilization possible, and
transform that community into q
civilized state. They will have the
advantage, too. They will seem less
like invaders than their predecessors
This will preserve the name and
form of the Mexican Republic, and
will probably leave the native Mexi-
cans as its ostensible rulers

Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, was
at New Orleans recently, on profess
sional engagement, and WAS invited
to speal>. In note declining. on
account Of the brevity of his visit, he
says:
L lave seen nothing to change, but
much to confirm, the views expressed
by me in the Senate last winter, in
the National Union Convention at
philadelphia, and at other places
during the late canvass in the North
ern States.
While the time OF their full recog-
milton may be postponed by the
result Of the recent elections longer
than L could have wished, my faith is
still mistaken that, at no distant day,
the people Of the Northern States
will recognize, as the President and
the Supreme Court have already re-
cognized, these States Of the South
as States in the Union, under the
Constitution, with '.all their rights,
dignity and equality unimpaired."
1t is just as certain, in my judg-
ment, as that the people of the North
ern States are capable of maintaining
Republican Government for them
selves

THE HUB ON THE MOVE AGAIN.-A
petition is in circulation in Boston
and vicinity, and is being hume
rously signed, praying Congress to
so amend the Constitution that each

determine for itself the status of citi-

frage, but in all elections for Federal
officers prescription on account of
race or color shall make void and ille-
gal such elections.

obstacle is anticipated to prevent its
