CHOLERA following recipe for
the cure of cholera, cholera morbus or
SUNNI er complaint in any Of its forms
is furnished US by an old sea-faring
man who vouches for its efficacy: Take
equal parts tincture of opium, red pep
per, rhubarb, peppermint, and camphor
and mix them for use. In case of di-
arrhea take dose of ten or twenty
drops in three or four teaspoonfuls OF
water. No one who has this by him
and takes it in time will have the chol-
era. We commend 1t to onr Western
friends, and hope that the receipt will
be widely published. Even when NO
cholera is anticipated it is an excellent
remedy for ordinary summer complaint.

Olympia Railroad.

While at Olympia the latter part OF
last week, we improved the opportunity
by becoming fully informed in regard
the project and prospects of railroad
from Olympia to the coal mines, con-
Meeting with the N. P. Railroad at Te-
nino. Is miles south of Olympia. Our
information is derived from several in
terviews with Col. Bee and Gov. Salo-
mon, Trustees and representatives OF
,the Company organized for the prosecu
on Of that enterprise. and also by at
tending meeting for consultation be-
tween those gentleman and committee
representing the principal property
holders of Thurston county.
As our readers are already aware, this
Company is composed of San Francisco
capitalists of unquestionable response
bility. This Company has purchased
for s2O, 900. 1000 acres of coal lands
rear Tenino, and proposes to work the
mines and transport the coal 10 marAe''
The proposition of the Company to the
citizens of Thurston county is, that II
responsible parties will guarantee the
issuance to them of 5000, 900 currency
bond, of the county, as soon as neces-
eary legislation can be had, they will
croceed at once to the construction OF a
marrow gauge road, to be completed
rom Tenino TO Olympia, with wharves
extending to deep water, and then put
on two first class ocean steam propellers
to- make semi-monthly trips between
San Francisco and Puget Sound ports.
The citizens seem fully alive to the i'm
portance of this project, and we have no
doubt the proposition will be accepted,
giving to Olympia the shortest railroad
connection with the Columbia river on
one hand, and regular communication
by ocean steamer with San Francisco
on the other. 1t is such an opportunity
as Olympians are too shrewd to forego.

the proposed Railroad meeting. You
are well aware of the influence, and ef-
fects of that influence upon the citizens
of this Territory, brought to bear by the
servants of the N. P. r. R. Co. Those
who had not the moral courage to stand
by the good principles instilled into
them by those who acted their part in
guarding against corruption, that the
institutions of their country might fall
into their hands unimpaired, are now,
together with the better portion, suffer
ing for their folly at the hands of mon
opolies, of which the N. P. r. r. Co. at
present st ands coequal with all, if not a
little ahead in corruption. 1t is admit
ted that the receiver is US guilty as the
thief, and so long as the N. P. r. r.

people must go where and when they

say stop.
Sir, deplore mob, but if we cannot

really excellent. Our informant states

heard him complimented for his just
decisions by several persons who wit
messed the game.
The Rangers were much exercised
over their defeat, and being unwilling
to acknowledge the superiority of
their opponents, Immediately upon
the close of the game they challenged
the Young Americas for return
game, to be played upon the grounds
Of the latter club the following Sun
