DIR. BELL, an eminent physician OF
Louisville, and one of the deepest think
ers among the medical savants of his
section, attributes the cause of the
mysterious disorder called cholera, to
atmospheric poison-that in the late
sickness the disease followed almost eX-
actly the line of the rain area. Wher-
ever there We're constant rains, unus-
ual humidity-there was the most sick
ness, and those regions which were dyr

THE Judges spring, in Lick branch
bottom, Nashville, " as cleaned out Oh
the 18th. Near the bottom of it were
found old pocket books and knives, q
dirk. three bottles Of hair oil, broken
oil lamps, old boots, haiG pins, three
empty bottles upon which were the
startling characters of the deaths head
and cross bones and the word poison"
and a great variety of other things
which had at ono time or another been
thrown into it. As to whether the two
bottles mentioned contained poison
when cast into the spring is a mystery
without solution. whether they did or
not, they made deep impression on
those engaged in cleaning it out. With
all the rubbish found in it, there is little
wonder that the water should have
proven unhealthy during the epidemic
which lately prevailed there, though
the stream is so large that it was lit
tie more than two fire engines could do
to keep it down sufficiently to enable
the work men to clean out the basin.
People again commenced using water

18th, from which it is anticipated that
there will now he no evil results.

INGENIOUS ARRASGE,IEST.-The Sacra-
mento Union gives an account OF expert
inents made By the employees Of the Cal
ifornia Pacific Railroad in that city with
an apparatus by means of which bags
can be taken aboard a train at station
without the necessity Of stopping the
train. II consists OF an upright post
with two horizontal arms about two feet
apart. To these arms the mailbag is at
tached. When the train comes along and
il is not deemed advisable for it to stop
ut the station, the mail agent in the car
pushes out from the doorway a sort of
crane, having an arm to which are at
taehed fingers of iron or steel. This is
arranged al the proper height TO enable
the fingers TO strike the mailbag rs the
train passes. When they strike they
clutch, and take the bag alongwith them.
The mail agent swings the crane with its
load inside the car, and, removing the
bag, is ready to get another. The expert
ments were made with speed of about
% miles per hour, and were remarkably
successful. The railroad company will
probably put the apparatus in operation
at the smaller stations. 1t has been in
operation successfully in the Last for
quite q while.
