CHOLERA ALARM.

All the cities along the Mississip-
pi and Ohio, from the Gulf up, are
alarmed by the appearance of chole-
ra in New Orleans and Memphis. 49,
Cincinnati is putting her house in
order. The Louisville Journal says
that there is every reason to dread
the coming cholera in that city
The streets are in wretched con-
dition, and malarious localities can
be counted by hundreds. So, in a
double loaded editorial, it exhorts
the city authorities to greater clean
illness, St. Louis, the Globe thinks,
is now enviably healthy, with no oc-
casion for alarm yet with the gray.
est cause for active precautions to
protect health and life. The chol-
era in New Orleans may remain epi-
demic, rnd die out. Nevertheless,
if it forces the river cities to adopt
thorough sanitary measures, it will
prevent, probably, other diseases
arising, and the little scare will be Of
great public benefit

The Catterpillar has already, be-
yond a shadow Of doubt, commenced
its ravages ID Southern and Eastern
Alabama Several gentleman on
the train yesterday assured US that
they had seen them at work, and a
box filled with these mischievons in (.
sects has been sent by Express from
Fort Gaines to cotton firm in Sa-
vannah. Mr.. Dasher, the well
know conductor, also told the writer
that at Williams Station, thirteen
miles beyond Eufaula, on the Clay
ton road, he saw several caterpillars
devouring the leaves of stalk Of
cotton, while others had actually
"webbed up" and in q few days
would appear again 10 countless
multitudes. Impressed with fear
that their crops were doomed to de-
struction, many planters were cross
ing their cotton fields with the pillow,
and planting them in corn.
One gentleman, Mr.. Gargylc, of
Eufaula, who had seen this scourge
Of the farmer, and pronounced it the
genuine cotton caterpillar, had also
taken this providential step, which
would at least ensure an abundance
Of breadstuffs for the following year.
Never even on the seaboard Of
Georgia, where the winters are so
mild that the larvae Of this pestifer-
Gus insect survives the rigors Of
the season, have we known them to
put in an appearance SO early. la
deed, as late as the middle Of August,
the presence Of the caterpillar IS
deemed the sure precursor Of even
less than a halt crop Of the great
staple under the most favorable cir
cumstonces. But our people can
only hope on and work on until time
shall solve this portentous problem.

THE GREAT MYSTERY.

The body Is TO die. No one who
passes that boundary comes back ia
tell. The imagination visits the
land Of shadows, sent out from some
window Of the soul over life's rest
less waters, but wings its way back
without live leaf In its beak as .
token Of merging life beyond the
closely blending horizon. The great
sun comes, goes in the heavens, yet
breathes no secret Of the ethereal
wilderness. The crescent moon
cleaves her nightly passage across
the upper deep, but tosses overheard
no signals. The sentinel stars chal-
lenge each other as they walk their
nightly round, but we catch no coun-
tersign which gives passage to the
heavenly music. Between this and
the other life there is great gulf
fixed across which neither foot nor
eye can travel. The gentle friend
whose eyes were closed in their last
long sleep, long years ago, died with
rapture in her wonder stricken eyes,
smile Of ineffable joy upon her
lips, and hands folded over tri.
umphant heart but her lips were
speechless, and intimated nothing Of
the vision that enthralled her.

a ToUcHrNe INCIDENT.

A short time since, in this city.
says the Covington (Ky.) Journal, a
brilliant and much admired lady,
who had been suffering for some
time with trouble of the eyes, was
led to fear speedy change for the
worse, and Immediately consulted
her physician. An examination
discovered a sudden and fatal failing
in the optic nerve, and the informa.
ton was impaired as gently as posi-
BILE, that the patient could not re-
tain her sight more than few days
at most, and was liable to be de-
prived Of it at any moment. The
afflicted mother returned to her
home, quietly made such arrange
ments as would occur to one about
to commence so dark a journey Of
life, and then had her two little
children, attired 10 their brightest
and sweetest costumes, brought be-
fore her; and SO, with their little
faces lifted to hers, and tears gather
ing for some great misfortune that
they hardly realized, the light faded
out Of the mothers eyes, leaving an
inefaceabIe picture of those dearest
to her on earth--a memory of bright
faces that will console her in many a
dark hour.

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

Upon a recent occasion in Wash
ington, Judge Embry, in introducing
a Southern lady to an audience Of
ladies and gentlemen, paid the fol-
lowing handsome tribute to the wo~
man of the South, which we take
pleasure in putting upon the record
in this journal. He said
"Ladies and Gentleman Twenty
years ago all the Southern States
were represented at this Capitol by
many of the loveliest and most ac-
complishcd ladies of America. They
were indeed the queens of American
society in the highest intellectual
culture, and in more than princely
bearing or Oriental beauty. But
war, with the devastations that fol-
low in its train, has, for more than a
decade, swept with relentless fury
over all the fair and fruitful fields
Of the South. Ii has desolated
countless happy homes, curbed many
noble ambitions, crushed many
bright hopes and anticipations, re
duced to poverty and want thous-
ands reared in affluence and wealth,
and has hung the symbols Of mourn
ing throughout all the borders of
that sunny land. This will not last
always. Such land, with such a
soil and climate, and above all such
a race of people were not defined by
God aud nature to utter ruin.
1.-THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.
"Her stricken and wasted fields
will ripen again with their golden
harvests, and her gardens will send
the fragrance of their flowers over
all the land She will rise from hu-
initiation, from her poverty and her
ashes, because her very ashes will
enrich her.
''llere and there some child of
genius, inspired by the historic
memories and the grand historic
names Of Virginia and the Carroll
mas, of Georgia and Alabama, of
Mississippi and Louisiana, and Of
the land Of Clay and jackson, as
pires to rival The former intellectual
vigor and the ancient glory of the
States that were once the power and
pride Of the republic. One is here
to-night--"
These brave and good ords
found utterance in Washington; and
the verdict, South at least, will be
that Judge Embry, in honoring the
women Of the South does honor to
his own head and heart. - Columbia

MARRIAGE.

Leigh Hunt concludes an essay on
marriage as follows: There is no
one thing more lovely in this life,
more full of the divine courage, than
when a young maiden, from her
happy childhood, when she rambled
over home when a mother anticipa-
ted her wants and soothed her little
cares when her brothers and sis
tiers grew from merry playmates to
loving, trustful friends from Christ
mas gatherings and romps; the sum
mer festival in bower Of garden,
from rooms sanctified BY the death
Of relatives from the secure back
grounds of her childhood, looks out
into the dark unilluminated future
away from all that; and yet unterri-
fed, undannted, leans her fair cheek
upon her lovers breast, and whis-
pers "Dear hearth ! cannot see,
but | believe. The past was beau
tiful. but the future can trust--with
thee!"

CLOUDS WITH SILVER Innings.

by MARY u. Colby,
There's never day so sunny,
But little cloud appears
There's never a life so happy
But has had its time Of tears
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never garden growing
With roses In every plot,
There's never heart 80 hardened
Bat II has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget me.not.
There's never cup 30 pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet
There's never path so rugged
That bears not the print of feet;
And we have u Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that CLEAN in the morning,
At evening are Just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never dream of sorrow
But tho waking makes us glad;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never way SO narrow
But the entrance IL made straight
There Is always q guide to point US
To the 'slittle wicket-gate;"
And the angels will be nearer
To soul that is desoiate.
There's never heart SO naughty
But will some day bow and kneel
There's never heart 80 wounded
That the Saviour cannot heal;
There Is many lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.
There's never day so sunny
But little clouds appears
There's never life 80 happy
But has had IL time OF tears
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.

Origin of Nerve Force.

In paper by DIR. A. H. Garrod, the
following ingenious hypothesis regarding
the production of Nerve Force is ad-
vanced. Admitting then that the force
in question is either identical with, or
closely allied to, electricity in its prop
critics, he then asks, where does it origin
ate The existence OF special organs
for its developement in the torpedo and
other creatures which exhibit external
electrical phenomena, and the absence
of any snch organ in man and the high
er animals would seem to indicate that
the production of electricity in animals
requires some other form of apparatus
than the nervous ganglia. In answer to
this, the Doctor seeks to show that in
the difference of temperature between
the interior and surface of the living
body, source of energy is presented,
which, on thermo-eleetric principles, is
capable of producing all the force re-
quired. The brain and minor ganglia,
he adds, would then act as offices for the
reception and transmission of currents
in the required directions, being in fact
the commutators of the system.
In support of thiq, the Doctor says
"There are several of the most important
phenomena exhibited by the nervous
system which are very satisfactorily ex.
piained on the above hypothesis. For
instance, in cold weather the impulse to
action is much more powerfully felt than
in summer, when the air is hot; and
therefore the temperature of the surface
is higher. It is well known that it is
impossible to remain for more than a
very short time in hot water bath OF
which the temperature is as high as, OF
little higher than that of the body, on
account Of the faintness which is sure to
come on, and this may be reasonably
supposed to be the result of the cessation
of the nerve-current, which is consequent
on the temperature of the surface of the
body becoming the same as that of the
interior. This faIntness is Immediately
recovered from by the application of q
cold douche. When great muscular ex.
ertion has to be sustained, as in swim
ming or rowing, it is always necessary
for the continuance of the effort that the
surface of the body must be kept COOL
