Payment VI Llnt.&rant MOrtgaSes,

The New York Times recently noticed
the interesting fact that two Important
land-grant mortgages, created some
twenty years ago, have been promptly
paid of, as far as the bonds have been
presented fog redemption, out of the
cash proceeds of the lands originally
mortgaged. The Illinois Central mort
gage was for $17, O0Q, 900, due iu 1875.
Oh this large sum $14, OOO, 600 bonds
have boon redeemed and cancelled, and
every effort made to induce the prcsen-
tation of the remaining $4,000, 600, for
the prepayment of which ample cash
provision has been mulc in the land
and sinking funds OF tho company.
The land grant mortgage of the Han,
nlbai and st. Joseph Road was origin
ally for $4,OOO,O00. Tie cash proceeds
OF the lands have been applied to the
purchase of bonds, at prices ranging
from par to ITO per cent, to the extent
of S3 600, 900. And against the re-
naming $1,000 the Company hold
land notes, muturing on sales made, to
the amount of 1900, 600, and IS, 800
acres unsold land in addition. Tho
surplus to be turned over to the Com
ptny after its mortgage is wholly cx-
tinguished will amount to ~, 2OO, 900
land notes, and $4,000 acres Of land,
worth $40 per acre.

Prof. RowIiug on Cholera.

We have battled with every epidemic
cholera, from the first to the last day,
in our region of operation which has
visited this country, and we affirm
without the fear of successful contra
diction, the following truths of this pes
thence which walketh in dark ness, and
deStl uctiOn which wasteth at MONDAY.
81. That prudence in the use of oil
things pertaining to man as an animal
il of the first Importance.
'2. That this prudence, i'll many things
| is imperfect, and therefore useless, short
| of positive interdiction-total alb
Stinence.
20. That among the interdicted is
| every description of fruit, non-cereal
vegetable, and animal products, as milk
| and eggs. We say non-cereal, so as tC
admit bread-stuffs, which the goodness
of God has stamped with innocence
even here, for he has declared them the
staff of life.
"We do not regard fruit and vegeta-
bles an GREETING cause of cholera, and we
would not be understood as so teaching
But ifthe ship be OUertGken by the storm
| of cholera aaHiLe laden aUith vegetables
1T SINKS. This is what we teach. But
| if so overtaken without vegetables on
| board, she weathers the storm and en-.
| tiers port unimpaired. Those during the
cholera who eat fruits and vegetables
! are no more liable to be assaulted than
those who abstain but if they are as
sailed, they die This is the rule-the re-
cOveries under such circumstances
constitute the exceptions. When non
vegetable and non-fruit-e is assailed
with cholera, his system responds in
stantly to medicine, while the system OF
the fruit and vegetable eater will fire.
quently not respond at all, and his
physician will find the result the same
whether he put the medicine in the pa
TENTS boot or stomach.
"Neither in 1850 nor 1854 have we
found a single instance in which a non
vegetable and -fruit-eater died OF
cholera, save we count a few cases OF
children with summer complaint dying
with symptoms of cholera superadded,
while all the deaths occurring among
! those who indulge i'll these UeTy innocent
! luXuries. In a conflict with cholera,
the bullets of the enemy, from mask
ed battery, are flying in every direction
and any one is liable to he hit; but woe
to the soldier who is cut down with
fruits or vegetables in his stomache, for
his wound is immedicable. He may re-
cover, 6lCt he cannot be cured land the
chances are many against his recovery.
We have more than once seen fruit or
vegetables elected or voided in the death
struggle, when reaction would immedi-
ately begin, and recovery result.

Gen. Beauregard was once an hon

mics. When Ben Butler was occu-
plying New Orleans, insulting tie
women of the city and having them,
under his order, spoken Of as COM
mon courtesans, Beauregard was in
command of Confederate soldiers,
and was calling upon the women of
the South to send up their church
bells, with which TO make cannon to
slay the insulters of their sisters, and
to defend their property and homes.
To day Butler, with all his scoun-
drehsm, is man more to be respect

and reports, as chairman of COM
mittee in New Orleans, a system of
social equality, that goes further than

the same, to the unification of our

INAsMUCH as exaggerated reports
have been circulated in regard to the
prevailing Disorder" at Memphis, we
take the liberty of making an extract
from a private letter written to us by
Major w. J. SYKES, whose opportuni~
ties for knowing the exact truth in re-
gard to the sanitary condition of that
city are very good: 81 am satisfied that
the reports about cholera in Memphis
have been very much exaggerated. 1t
is true the city is in very filthy condi-
ton, but they are now adopting ener-
getic means to improve it. Most of the
cases have been caused by gross impru-
dence in eating and drinking. Bad wa
ter and bad food have much to do with
the disease. 1t is not confined to the
city. Four or five miles in the country,
where they live in filth, eat bad food
ard drink mean water, they die with
the same disease. y prudent person is
in very little danger. I know very few
who have died, and in those cases i'm
