Gen. John NJ. Harlan.

The New York Tribune speaking of the
Kentucky election and of the brilliant can
vass made by the. Republican candidate
for Governor, Gen. John Harlan: In this
off-year, when all parties are outstanding
their strength for the Presidential contest
of 1872, and when no Members of Congress
were to be chosen, hehas polled the largest
vote by far ever given to a Republican,
and has reduced the Democratic majority
SO that our folks can easily see over it. We
shall have, for the first time, a respectable
Republican minority in the new Legisla-
ture; and we shall next year shoose twoif
not three of the nine Representatives in
Congress, now solidly against us. We al
most hope that Gen. Harlan may be one of
them, though his (Frankfort) district has
probable given 1000 Democratic majority
at this election. 1.a #a
But suppose he should not be, will not
the Republican party of the Union remem-
Der and requite its obligations to the lea
der of this brilliant, inspiring canvass,
when it shall next have honors to accord
or Heads of Departments to select? or
shall we then be told that he is hack poll
tician and inventerate office-seeker, of
whose services the country has no need?

The Cnming Cholera.

There seems to be no doubtthat the fam
inc in Persia has bred pestilence, as the
custom of famine is, and that the Asiatie
cholera has begun its awful march through
the Caucasian chain for Europe. n iii -
If the careful observations which have
been made of its progress hitherto are ac-
curate, they indicate that the outbreak of
cholera upon these shores is at least two
months distant. The Atlantic is no more
an insuperable barrier to its passage now
than in the days when transit across it
was three times as long and not third as
frequent as it is now. The new facilities
for travel are facilities also for the spread
of the disease. But the New York of 1871
is far filter to check it's ravages than the
New York of 1882 or of 184S The state
of medical knowledge about it then was
what the medical knowledge of London
was about the great plague, or the medical
knowledge of Japan is about the small
poX. Now the medical theory, if not Of
the nature, at least of the mode of pro-
gress and propagation of the disease, is
more than a hypothesis. 1t is also more
than theory, and deserves to be called a
demonstration. By the observations and
deductions of the last twenty years, chole
"a has passed into the list of diseases
which if not durable, are absolutely and
infallibly preventibe. If what are known
to be proper precautions could be taken
everywhere cholera would never again be-
come an epidemic. If such precautions
are taken in this city alone, cholera could
hardly become epidemic on this CONT
nent.-Ne,C York World. ...r .

GEN. GARIBALDI'S ILLNESS.-The Eco

ing extract from a private letter dated
Caprera, July a:
General Garibaldi during the last few
days has suffered more intensely from his
pains than ever before. His old wounds
give him great torment. He has had to
give up his usual short walks, and when
ever heis able to leave his bed, he has to
sit in small hand-car to take an airing
around the fields adjacent to his residence.
His greatest delight seems to exist in meet
ing old friends, who are never chary in
their visits or kindness to the disabled
natriot. Tribune, august 8.

WASHING CALICoEs. - Black cGlicoes
should be washed in water in which po-
tatoes have been boiled, or starch water
made by having two or three potatoes
scraped in it; or pour boiling water on
wheat bran, strain it, and when luke-warm
wetting any calico, rub soap Oh the grease
spots-hard soap or soft, soap year old.
Alum is good to set the color of green; salt
put in the rinsing water of blue, black or
green calico, will prevent the colors run
ming into each other. Some washerwomen
infuse eight gills of salt in four quarts of
boiling water, and put the calicoes in
while hot, leaving them until cold, which
process is to render the colors permant, so
they will not fade by subsequent washing.
Cotton goods Except pure white) should
never remain in water moment longer
than necessary, and should be dried in the
shade. ra~ ~rf aa3fF EHtHit".

To CAN CoRN.--We find it asserted that
a sure way to can corn so twill keep, is
found by dissolving one ounce and quarter
of tartaric acid in half pint of water Cut
the corn from the cob, and add water
enough to cook it properly. When cook
ed, add two tablespoonsful of the acid solu
ton to each quar-, of corn, Can immedia-
cool, dry place. When wanted for use, stir
half teaspoonful of soda through two
quarts of corn, and let it stand three hours
before cooking. This removes the acid
taste, and the corn is as fresh as when
cooked in the summer.

NEW York, April 6.-The Herald

on the 9TH instant that q severe battle
was fought near Aqua, San Domingo, on
the 18th of March, between the forces Of
Cabral and Baez. The opposing armies
consisted of about four hundred men on
both sides. General 0rgando marched
from the line Of Neiba and attacked
Baez, driving his forces, but Cabral fail
ing to act in concert, the whole move
ment proved failure. Baez claims
complete victory. He states that Ca
braPs infantry fed to the woods, aban-
doning all their provisions and bag
containing FIVE thousand dollars in Hay
tien currency, and had many wounded.
General hyperion was defeated on the
18th Of March at place called Particle,
in the jurisdiction of Savaneta; many
Haytiens and Dominicans were killed.
Among the prisoners captured were the
rebel Colonels Andres Lazaro and Syl-
vester Cabrera, General Igniago Revira
and Manuel Rodriguez, the assassin Of
General Barriento. Four hundred dol
lars in money, fourteen horses, eight
needle guns, carbines, clothing and
twelve loads Of ammunition we're cap
tured during the fight of Luperon's
forces; the latter even lost his seal of
State.
General Valentine Perez also claims a
victory over orgando on the line Of the
Neiba. Cabrars friends at ST. Thomas
acknowledge he was defeated, but say
only portion of his forces we're en-
gagged.

rrNr PICTURE.

The Commissioners have sent in their
report on San Domingo, and the Presi-
dent has laid it before Congress. He
does not urge immediate action upon it,
but wishes the facts it contains to go to
the public. 1t represents a hattering
state of things to exist Thus:
Pauperism, beggars and high crimes
especially are unknown among the peo-
pie, though the Spaniards win gamble.
There is no religious intolerance or dis
like. Labor is sure to be paid. The
people are proverbially shrewd and ca
pable of self-government.
If this be true, it furnishes the best
argument against annexation. They
are in a much better condition than we
are, and would gain nothing by ineorpo-
ration into our Union. If they have no
paupers, we have, and they would flock
down upon the island from our shores.
If they have no beggars, we have. We
could overrun their country with them.
If high crimes are unknown among them
we can supply them with the article and
make their homes and highways run with
blood. If the people are proverbially
shrewd and capable of selfgovernment
we may initiate their sbrewdness, but we
are not capable of self-government.
This fine picture, if not overdrawn, rep
resents a community as nearly perfect
as any the world has ever seen. Why
should a people so situated wish to join
their fortunes to this country2 We
should spoil the picture in twelve
months. A flock Of paupers, beggars,
criminals, gamblers and carpet-baggers
from this country would swoop down upon
the island and take it by storm. The
report defeats itself. 1t is too ford. 1t
will not do. But assuming it to be true,
is it not the duty of the better people Of
this country to commence enlightening
the Dominicans with pictures Of this
country Let the people of San Do
mingo send Commission here to in
quire as to our institutions, and then go
back and render their report. Let them
go to Washington and investigate the
national morals as they appear through |
the President, the Cabinet, the Congress
and the officials of all degrees. Who
can doubt the happy islanders would rise
as one man and object to annexation |

ENRICH1KG AN ENEMY.

Cincinnati wants railroad connections
with the South, and all the Southern
trade that can be obtained. She wants
Congress to force the people Of Ken
lucky to allow her right of way for a
road to Chattanooga. She wants TO OBJ
tain monopoly of Southern trade, and
build herself up on the industry Of the
South. And yet this same Cincinnati
supports the party that Expresses the
South and is now about to place her
under the heel of military despots. The
other day she voted the despotic ticket
To-day she cries out for Southern trade.
If the people of the South can
not learn a little policy by experience,
then there is little hope for a speedy
restoration of the influence which their
acknowledged power gives them. St.
Louis is the friend Of the South, and the
South should be the friend of St. Louis
Cincinnati hates the South, but would
grow and become great upon her pro-
duets and trade. She kicks the South
as men kick dogs, and then expects her,
like dog, to be whistled up and lick
her hand. 1t is time for our people to
learn who are their friends, and to ex-
hibit practical resentment. OF course
they have friends in Cincinnati, and
good friends too, but they are powerless.
If we must patronize that city, let US
discriminate between friends and foes.
