How STARCH Is MADE.-Laundry starch
is made from corn, that grain being COM
posed of pure starch. the other compris-
ing II great variety of other materials, which
a'e not only difficult of extraction and re-
moyal, but must he thoroughly done if the
starch is TO be first class. These impurities
are woolly FIBRE oily matter, and gluten,
(glue.) Any of these ingredients, it will
be seen, will interfere with the highly fin
ished gloss that distinguishes laundry
work. They are removed by chemical
process, consisting in the application TO the
corn, when ground, of an akali, possessing
a strong chemical affinity for oil and gluten,
but none whatever for starch. which unitos

duces Il peculiar soapy compound easily

ter which now follow with brilliant results,
and which leave the pure hard glossy crys-
tails of starch to he carefully gathered aud
dried for market. This is wGal the expert
ence of - years shows to be the most
thorough process OF making good starch.

Is IT CHOLERA ? - The disease which
commenced at New Orleans some weeks
ago, and which has gradually made its
way to Memphis, Nashville, Paducah, Gin
cinnati, Louisville, and other Southern
localities, has now progressed sufficiently
to make it certain that it is not Asiaiic
cholera, but disease which is aggravated
by the same causes, namely, unwholesOmo
food and uncleanly surroundings. The
diagnosis of the disease is different from
that of cholera. The post-mortem appear
ance of its victims is different from that of
those who die from cholera. The Asiatic
cholera would sweep over the country like
a simeon, and would leave no room to
doubt its real character This disease trav-
els comparatively slowly. The cholera has
a long season. In 1866, lis inevitable pre-
cursors appeared early, and did not disap-
pear until frosts came. This disease has a
comparatively short season. In New Or
leans II has run its course and disappeared
In Memphis, 1t is rapidly passing away.
In Nashville the crisis has been reached,
and the number of deaths is fast decreas-
ing. The united testimony of the best
physicians is against the theory that il is
Asiatic cholera. They unhesltatingly de-
clare IL TO be cholera morbus, marked by
an unusual fatality, and in every Instance
can trace it to indiscreet eating of i'm
properly prepared vegetables or fruits

The minister said last night says he,
'Don't be afraid Of givin';
II your life amt nothn' to other folks,
why, what's the use o. livin'?"
And that's what say to wife, says I,
There's Brown the miserable sin Ter,
He'd sooner beggar would starve than give
cent toward buyin' dinner.
l tell you minister's prime, he is,
But couldn't quite determine,
when heard him a-givin' II right and left,
Just who was hit by his sermon.
OF course there couldn't be no mistake
when he talked of long-winded prayin',
For Peters and Johnson they sot and scowled
At every word he was sayin'.
And the minister he went on 10 say,
"There's various kinds o. cheatin',
And religions as good for every day
As 1t is TO bring to meetn.
don't think much Of man that gives
The Lord Amens at my preachin',
And spends his time the foowin' week
In cheatin' and ovorreachin'."
guess that dose was bitter enough
For man like Jones to swaler;
But noticed he didn't open his mouth,
Not once after that to holler.
Hurrah, says I, for the minister
OF course 1 said it quiet
Give us some more of this open talk;
It's very refreshing diet
The minister hit 'em every time;
And when he spoke of fashion,
And a-riggin' out in bows and things,
As woman's ruling passion,
And a-coming to church to see the styles,
1 couldn't help a-winkin'
And a-nudgin' my wife, and, says I, 'That's you,"
And guess 1t sot her thnkin'
Says to myself, That sermons pat;
But mau is q queer creation;
And I'm much afraid that most o. the folks
Won't take the application,
Now If he had said word about
Ny personal mode o. sinnin',
I'd gone to work to right myself,
And not set here a.grinnn'.
Just then the minister says, says he,
"And now I've come to the felers
who've lost this shower by using their friends
AS sort o. moral umbrellas.
Go home" says he, land find your faults,
Instead Of hunting your brothers;
Go home" he says "and wear the coats
You've tried to At to others"
My wife she nudged and Brown he winked,
And there was lots o. smin,
And lots o. lookin' at our pew;
1t sot my blood bilin.
Says to myself, Our minister
Is gittin' a lit lie. bitter;
III tell him when meetin's out, that
Amt at all that kind of a crtter.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follices are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

NEW YORK, June 8, 1873.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Ny attention was attracted this morning to an
article In this days issue OF your paper entitled
Religious War;" which appears to me to do great
injustice to the matter. 1t Is a well known fact
that our recent Board Of Emigration, as well as
that OF "Charities and Correction was intensely
sectarian not only In its composition, but tn all It's
acts relating to the religious instruction OF those
under its charge. That the greatest concessions
were made to the demands Of a certain sect Is
capable Of conclusive proof, which hereby freely
volunteer to furnish If you will favor
me with the use Of your columns. This
was more particularly the case in the last
named Board OF Commissioners, where the most
invidious distinction was made on account OF creed
and race The fact that church was built on
wards Island from the head money received from
lies to its exclusive occupancy, inasmuch as an
immense minority ~ not majority OF the emil
eas snd one has right s 20 nae the
'head money" for the erection Of place Of wor-
ship exclusively for ITSELF then would not others
have an equal right to demand the same privilege?
Might not the Chinaman, the Jew or the Mormon
claim that the peculiar doctrines or canons OF his
died By what he may term sacrifegious services,
and would he not be as consistent In this declara-
ton as the ROmanlstf

he has to demand that money belonging to the

infdeL Pity 1t IL that these people should
so absolutely claim privileges that Justice viii not
permit rs 10 concede to others; and much more Is
IL to be regretted that we, creatures Of the same
Great Creator are denied by them the right to
worship in the same edi1ce wherein they bow
before the same Triune God. The great doctrine
of Christianity Is love; and he who Is so bigoted
as to condemn his fellow for not accepting doc
trines which his conscience win not permit Is not
only unAmerican but un-Christian. l wonder
what Father Prachensky and others will think n,
when they reach heaven, they shall ind that the
blood OF Christ has saved not only Catholics. but
tleman then refuse to worship in the same heaven
with Luther and Fox and Wesley or Will he de-
mand that the Great Am shall set apart sepa-

shall sing the praises OF their Saviour Yours truly
