ry inspection and preventative measures Of
the most thorough efficiency.
Absolute cleanliness Of person, clothing,
houses, out-buildings, and streets, must be
insisted upon. Regular and abundant
sleep, plain food, especially avoiding rich
and fatty articles, and using freely, ripe
fruits and vegetables, are points Of great
Importance. All experience proves that
nothing is more fatal than the odor from
privies, hog-pens, and decaying organic
matter. Use dry soil in the privy abun-
dainty whenever the slightest odor escapes !;
the same in all foul places. Scatter lime
in cellars and around the house once week,
and bury offal deeply in the soil. Don't
delay d moment to remove every exciting
cause Of disease. Avoid alcoholic drinks,
for in cholera times "death turks in the
cup" more than ever.
If you are ailing, don't trile with your
self by taking nostrums but rest and stop
eating, and if you need help call in COM
petent physician. With these and such
other simple precautions as science and ex-
perience have approved, little fear need be
entertained of the cholera on this side of the
water. fis.S heio l. .a +sM

We are now entering upon a political
campaign that is full of the auguries of VIC
tory. It is our own fault if the friends OF
the constitution do not win and deserve to
wear its blessings and its honors. 1t can
never be won by men who are eternally
blubbering over ruin and hopeless defeat,
and crying out sit is of no use to struggle,
we are conquered, all is lost" The battle
of liberty is never lost, except to people
who do not deserve it. TO our own race it
has never been lost, because our blood has
never given it up under storm or adversely
If there ever was people who were beaten
in the field, but unconquered in soul, it is
the people of the South. They have shown
fortitude, a constancy, and a courage in
adversely that shines brightly in the COM
parison with their deeds in the field
They have as manfully accepted the stu
alton as they fought to avert it. They have
exhibited patience in endurance to which
there is no parallel in history. And yet no
rack of insult, no tortue Of tyranny has
been able to extract from their suffering lips
one syllable of retraction of the right and
duty that inspired them to take arms.
They submit to the law of the victor, but
they would die before confessing that they
had been guilty of the crimes of rebels
and traitors"
We can fancy, while reading the above,
that we see the stars and bars saucily flying
and Tapping in the breeze. That banner
may do very well to infusc enthusiasm into
the Southern heart, but will not prove an
attractive symbol to the men who were ac.
customed to catch their glimpscs of it he
tween whizzing bullets and amid the smoke
of gunpowder.
