SICKNESS IN NASHVILLE.

The Mayor of Nashville, admitting
that cholera in mild form may exist in
that city, has promptly appointed san
itary commission Of twelve physicians
to organize and adopt such means and
line of policy as will not only operate to
abate the prevailing disease, but prevent
it from further spreading or becoming an
epidemic; and he pledges himself to do
all in his power TO carry out such sug-
gestions and line of policy as they may
offer. This is certainly proper, and
nothing more than his duty. Up to Fri
day night forty deaths from cholera had
been reported since the lst of June.
Eight deaths from cholera were reported
by the undertakers Saturday. Most Of
the victims so far have been colored
people living in low, unhealthy locali-
ties aud addicted to stale vegetables.
Wards Female Seminary, which was to
have had its commencement this week,
closed Saturday that the pupils from a
distance might 60 home. The people
seem to have been panic stricken, and
many were leaving for the country.
This, Of course, is all foolishness, for
they would be safer at home than in
changing about this hot weather. The
Banner urges the thorough cleaning Of
the city if it takes five hundred
men a day to do it speedily.
Lime is in great demand in that city,
and it will probably be put in as healthy
a condition, so far as sanitary measures
can do it, as was Memphis in 1867, but
not since. Cholera is always worse in a
limestone country when it once takes,
than in the low, fat country, where peo-
pie are used to malaria and better ac-
quainted with the virtues Of quinine.
The disease has not yet assumed an cpl
demic form in Nashville, and we hope
sincerely that it may not, and that the
cause Of so much alarm may soon dis
appear.

for the night. If steam can be raised
with Mr.. Berton's North pole on
board, the boat will leave the Cincinnati

are ample provisions on board for all.

To the Hdltor Of the Banners =,
Cholera is generally prcventable DIS
esse, aud in the early stages can be ar
rested IL the habits be good. Study,
therefore, temperance in eating and
drinking. Don't believe that alcoholic
stimulants are useful in guarding you
against an attack, Let the food be nu'
| tritious and keep the digestive organs III
A healthlul condition. Use no stale or
uncooked vegetables. Let your meat be
fresh and your vegetables be well cooked,
aud all fruits be fresh and ripe. IN
Cleanliness OF the body is Of the first
consideration. Keep the skin in n healthy
state by bathing the whole body, with a
free use of soap. Cold bathing is best
used in the morning as you get up, never
just before going TO bed.
Cleanliness in your homes is OF equal
Importance. Let your apartments be
dry-neyer damp. Suffer no aecayed
vegetables or stagnant water 10 remain
in your cellars or yards. Any disagree
able smell from privies, cess pools or
sinks. is proof Of their unhealthiness.
Remove them by necessary repairs,
lime, chloride Of lime or whitewashing.
Ventilate we'll your houses and apart
ments. Expose your bedding to the air
and sun. Avoid excessive fatigue. Keep
regular hours in eating and sleeping
and wear flannel next to the skin. A
good plan is, if the bowels are Mt all dis.
ordered, to wear broad band of flannel
Ia flannel belly band) arouAd the body,
reaching from the hips TO the ribs.
Maintain the natural temperature OF the
body by sufficient clothing; especially
keep the feet warm. Never, when heated,
sit on the ground or stone steps, or sleep
under an open window. II exposed to
wet change your boots and clothes as
soon as possible. Take no purgatiye
medicine, except by direction of physi-
clan.
Cholera is almost invariably preceded
by a painless diarrhea, aud this is in all
cases to be promptly treated.
When diarrhea is present, go TO bed
and maintain position on the back use
abundance of blankets, and send for a
physician; stay in bed until you are well;
don't consider yourself well until you
have had natural movement from the
bowels; abstain from all drink; apply
mustard plasters to the bowels.
In the absence of physician, the
adult can take ten drops of laudanum
and ten drops of spirits of camphor. A
child of ten years may take five drops OF
laudanum and five drops Of camphor.
A child OF FIVE years may take three
drops OF laudanum and three of spirits
of camphor, and these drops may be
repeated every twenty minutes, so long
as diarrhea, or pain, or vomiting con.
tinues. This will save time; but in all
cases send for physician.
Do not get up to pass the excavations,
but use the bed pan or other convent
ence.
Never chill the surface of the body by
getting out of bed.
Remove Immediately all the evacua-
tons from your room; scald all the uten-
sis used, or disinfect them with chloride
of lime; scald also, your soiled clothing.

The Directory of the Exposition
Building concluded to build an addition,
so as to cover in the lot formerly occu-
pied as the power hall. This space will
be devoted to the floral and power de-
partments at the Exposition, which will
open in October next. Last evening
contractor John Wylie was awarded the
contract for building. The addition,
when finished, will cost something like
eight thousand dollars. The Exposition
stock is now at par. The cost of the new
addition has already been subscribed.
The next Exposition will be wonderful

A fearful story is told of the Indian
chief and robber Of Topic. Mexico, Lo-
zada, which has but recently been
brought before the public, and which,
for cruelty, cannot find a parallel. In
the small village Of San Luis, near
Topic, there has been discovered a sab
terranean apartment, constructed es-
pecially for the prosecution Of horrible
crimes, and In this was found, not long
since, a man who, for fourteen years,
had not seen the light Of day. Un-
shaven, unwashed, almost doubled by
feebleness, aud withal bereft Of sense,
when discovered he is said 10 have had
more the appearance Of q wild animal
than Of humanity. From motives Of re-
venge Lozada had him incarcerated in
this sepulcher. and formerly would seem
TO have taken especial pleasure in wit
Messing the tortures Of this unhappy
man, visiting him daily for that purpose,
taunting him and mocking him in bis
helpless misery. The Wretched man
was placed IN charge Of q physician,
who Is obliged 70 use the utmost pru-
dence in bringing him forth from bis

WHIsKEY AND THE WEED.-Intelligent
psychologists and pathologists admit
that all so-called medicines containing
alcohoI-whether they emanate from
the regular phnrmacopoia and are
called tinctu1es, or from the Empirical
Rum Mills, and are labelled "Tonics "
are essentially dangerous and destrue-
tive. The only way in which drunken
ness can be arrested is by restoring the
integrity of the nerves especially the
nerves of taste and the great sympa-
thetic nerve), and purifying the animal
fluids; and these objects are more GER
tainly and swiftly accomplished by the
use OF DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BrTTERs
than by any other means. Hence, pro-
baby, the opinions now so generally
expressed, that this pure preparation
is a sovereign remedy for the evils re-
ferred to. Should it be clearly ascer-
tanned that VINEGAR BIrrERs is not only
specific for Indigestion, liver disease.
nervousness, scrofulous ulcers, and
eruptions, and a host of other disor-
ders, but also for inebriety, thousands
will rise up and call the discoverer

ABSORPTION OF WATER By DIFFERENT
SoILs.-We do not think that the power
of soils to absorb and hold the moisture
from the atmosphere is properly appre-
ciated. Many have the impression that
unless the water is actually falling in
drops, that the soil is receiving no
benefit from the moisture. This is in
correct, for at all times when the sun is
not shining, and often when it is, the
soil is drinking in moisture from the
air. OF course, some soils will not only
absorb it much faster, but also hold
much more than others, and it will al
ways be found that the absorbing power
and also the power of holding, will de-
pend entirely on the amount of vegeta-
BILE matter In the soil. One Thousand
pounds of common farm surface soil
will, if well dried and exposed to the
air for twelve hours during the night,
absorb from twenty to twenty five
pounds of water; even some of our
coarse sandy soils will absorb eight or
ten pounds, and some of the rich peaty
soils will absorb three or four times
this amount. One hundred pounds of
dry surface will absorb and hold about
forty pounds of water, without any
running out. Some of our clay soils
will hold as much as seventy pounds in
the same way.
