A CORRESPONDENT of Paris journal,
who has been admitted to an interview
with Garibaldi, gives q most distressing
account of his appearance: "The Gen
erals features appeared contracted, his
body emaciated, and he was lying on a
sofa suffering horribly from an attack of
chronic rheumatism. The ex- Dictator,
bent like the Tower of Pisa, is but a
shadow Of the past, and with difficulty
one recognizes in the trembling and deli
cate old man the fierce Republican of
former days. s
A CORRESPONDENT of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes that a relative, youth, who
had been afflicted with epilepsy for the
period of three years, or from the age of
IA to II, was completely cured by the ad-
ministration of bromide of potassium, in
increasing doses up to a certain quantity.
The attacks became gradually fewer, and
in about two years ceased entirely. 1t is
asserted that not the slightest symptoms
of conyulsion has appeared in the pa
tient for over three years. dg .@|

The fact that case of cholera has been
discovered in the city should be received
with firmness. People who are careful of
their health-who have no bad habits of
eating and drinking, and who do not de
prive themselves of necessary sleep, or
unnecessarily expose themselves to atmos-
pherical dangers, may repose in quiet so
far as the cholera is concerned. 1t attacks
mostly those who have rendered them
selves liable by their own imprudence
Persons who indulge freely in whisky had
better sign the pledge. 1t is among their
ranks that cholera finds its fattest feasts.

A YOUNG lad at Lake Station, Miss, had
@ large kite presented to him, about six
feet by four in size, which he attempted
to fly the other day just as the wind was
increasing and storm was threatening.
The wind drew the kite so heavily as to
drag the boy along also. To prevent los
ing his favorite, he wound the cord around
his body. At last the wind bore the kite
and boy upward, until the young kite flyer
caught in the top of a tree, and was sus-
pended seventy-five feet above the ground.
A flood of rain came on, slackening the
line, abating the wind, and allowing the
little sufferer to be rescued. He was found
to be unconscious, and so bruised and
marred as to be scarcely recognized, but
was restored the same evening and is now
doing well.
TEE Detroit Free Press says that about
six weeks ago barber, named William
Brewster, of Chatham, Ontario, was called
to shave man whose death was occa-
stoned by lung fever, and the instrument
was afterward laid by, to be used no more
as razor. But, being one morning with
out a knife, and desiring to sharpen his
pencil, Brewster used the razor for the
purpose, and during the operation cut a
slight cash in the left fore-fnger. In an
hour or two the member commenced ach-
ing, and continued to grow worse and
worse until the whole hand snd arm were
fearfully swollen, and the flesh, in spots,
assumed a mottled appearance. Having
doctored for four weeks without sue
cess, among the physicians at Chatham,
Brewster came to Detroit to seek relief.
He had lost the entire use of the arm, and
it had swollen to four times its natural
