CHOLERA.

Our foreign exchanges give evidence OF
the exis tence OF cholera on the continent
of Europe, following its accustomed line
of march. This induces us to mention DIR.

EMERY, cholera-morbus, cholera-i nfantum
and kindred complaints can not be found.

GLARING INAccURAcIEs.-A few days
since we received g map of Iowa, from
Henry Clews & Co., Bankers, who have
the sale of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Minnesota r. r. bonds. This of course
aims only to show that line of road with
any prominence, but we can hardly excuse
its glaring errors. Mahaska county is
laid down without railroad excepting in
one corner, while Oskaloosa Is placed on
the west side of Marion county, thirty
miles away from its true location. Grin
nell is in the west side ofJasper county in.

Charlton in Clarke, and Osceola left out
altogether. The Central runs through
Wayne, Lucas, Marion, Jasper and Story,
instead Of Appanoose, Monroe, Mahaska,

so many more errors, we have not time to
count them. Such maps are damage to

Last Tuesday our California friends de-
partedifor the land of gold. We trust they
may all be as well satisfied with it as they
hope to be, but we expect some of them back
in few years. If any go to California ex-
pecting to find new country, they must
remember that in population, wealth and
improvements it ranks among the older
States. We tried to get a full list of this
colony but failed. We give those we know

Go TO woRK-As the spring opens, op-
portunities are offering for those who
have been lying around in idleness during
the winter-some from want of work to do,
others from a spirit Of idleness. For those
who will work there are chances every
day presenting themselves, which should,
and we believe, will be gladly improved
To those who will not work, we say quit
eating. You have no moral right to sponge
living from any one; and especially from
one who must needs work the harder to
support you in idleness. Work Suppose
you can't get the very easiest place and the
highest wages; work at anything that Of
fers best. The best place, and high wages
will follow as result of your industry and
faithfulness To the idle young men of
our town especially do we again say.
work! Work Is honorable and manly, and
the Industrious boy or young man grows
into the useful citizen. Idleness is the
broad highway to want, crime, degradation
and dishonor. Shun 1t.

START TIFF the genius who invented
the Patent Cat Exterminator" will estsb-
lish q mandatory in our >city we will
guarantee large sale. We will take four,
one for each corner of the house. The ma
chine is said to consist of large sheet
iron cat, with steel claws and teeth with
cylindrical attachment The motive pow
er is the same as clock. The machine is
set in motion, andfgives out defiant cries in
imitation of cat, whereupon all the fell
ines within radius of half mile rush to
battle, and if they approach within six
feet they are drawn into the iron NAV of
this huge animal, and soon heaps of hair,
toe nails, and fiddle.strings are strewn
round about. By wonderfully ingenious
continuance, the machine is made to bark
like a dog, and though It's said that a
"barking dog never bites, this barker has
proved eminently successful in the bologna
business.

was enjoyed. 1t being the last day of the
month, the demand for the most articles
was naturally confined largely to specula.

yet the movements upon the part of
legitimate operators on both grain and
provisions was fully as large as on any day
during the. past:week. Indeed, in provis-
ions the legitimate trading was quite liber.
al, while the demand for corn and some of
the smaller cereals indicated the existence
of an improved feeling. Prices, however,
were somewhat irregular, and in several
instances more or less unfavorable for
holders. Provisions and barley sold at
something of an advance, but wheat and
oats suffered decline of 24@1Mc on both

And the object Of it all. less imposing

the American people. In addition to the
military display, a grand ball win be given
at night, for admission to which the sale
Of tickets has been limited, Ostensibly to
avoid jam, but in reality to keep out oul

For tas Dsmoratsc Adeocate
The Star Regulus.

MEssRs. EDIToRs ;--You inquire, in
yonr last issue, aWhat is the name of the
little pale-faced page that has attended the
august person Of Jupiter, for several weeks
past y
A friend at my elbow wishes me to say,
in reply, that Jupiter has been, for some
time, in the constellation Leo, the fifth
sign Of the zodiac, and near to Regulus, a
star Of the first magnitude, and the bright
est in the constellation.
Regulus is sometimes called Cor Leonis,
and, also, Alpha Ieonis. The stars Of ev-
cry constellation are denoted by the Greek
and Roman letters, assigning the Greek
letter Alpha to the principal stars in each
constellation, Beta to the second in mag
nitude, and SO on and when the Greek
alphabet is exhausted, the notation is car
ried on with the Roman letters a, b, c, &c.
and, IT there are more stars in constella-
ton than these two alphabets will furnish
letters for, the Arabic notation /, 2, 3,
&c. is used.
A good view Of the constellation Leo
may be had now, any clear night, about .
o'clock The constellation may be easily
recognized by some Of its stars forming
the figure Of a Sickle Regulus and Eta
form the handle-Eta about Eve degrees to
the north of Regulus and Gamma, Zeta,
Mu, and Epsilon, the blade of the sickle.
The situation Of Regulus is an interest
ing one from the fact Of It's being almost
exactly in the Ecliptic or Earih's orbit.
Regulus is, also, one Of the nine lunar
stars, so called, because they lie along the
Moons path and are used BY nautical men
for determining their longitude at sea.
The apparent distance between Jupiter
and Regulus, as you remarked, is yisibly
increasing. Regulus remains in its posi-
ton, Fixed, with respect to the other stars,
but Jupiter moves slowly away, at rate
that enables him to pass over q constella-
tiop in little less than year, accomplish
| Ing complete revolution around the sun
in about twelve years.
While Jupiter looks brighter than the
'siittle page" that attends him, Regulus is
really Sun, shining with It's o,on lqht.
Jupiter shining with reflected liglt, the
light Of our Sun, and, although at his dis
lance his magnitude appears inconsidera-
bic, yet Jupiter is nearly 400 times the
sine Of the Earth.
