a MASTERLY PIECE OF ART.-We
had the pleasure, few evenings since,
of seeing a portrait of our former
townsman, the late David NJ. Doris,
from the easel of Mr.. VIM. III. Baker,
formerly of New Orleans, now of
Brooklyn, n. Y. We understand that
the artist had no acquaintance with the
deceased, and therefore had nothing to
guide his skillful brush save small
photograph and lock of hair. The
natural and life-like features of this
easel-piece speak in the highest terms
of Mr.. Bakers artistic ability. Any
of our citizens who may wish the feat
ures of departed, loved ones deliniated
upon canvass would do we'll to commu-
nicate with him at No. 167, 18th street.

We see it stated that, in Thomaston
Ca, society of boys has been formed,
the self-imposed obligations of which
is, that they will not lie, disobey their
parents, keep vicious company, nor
neglect their school duties. Of all
the schemes for reform, and building
up. the South on basis..of integrity and
intelligence not one is more cheering
and hopeful than this, if indeed there
be such an organization as is reported.
Our daily observations have taught
us the necessity for some such reforma-
toryi movement here and, indeed in
every town throughout the country.
And if parents, adopting the idea, can
be induced to promote such juvenile
associations it will prove pleasing oc-
cupation for themselves and a most
beneficial arrangement for their child
rem of both sexes. In the existing
state of society, as all must have OBJ
served, the moral training of children,
at home, however judicious it may be,
in exceptional cases, is no security
against the demoralizing influences of
association, outside of parental super
vision. Anduntil home training is both
universal and judicious, no ones child
is secured against contamination by
outside influences. Something must
be done for the proper moral training
of the majority, or Conscientious pa
rents will be forced to exert a restrain
ing suryiileance over their children
painful to themselves, and, in the esti-
nation of the little, ones, bordering
upon wanton tyranny, and hence dis
content with home and longing for the
freedom of the streets.

THE Radical aspirants to the Presi-
dency are beginning to evince their un
easiness, lest Grant may be in their way,
and muttering of discomfort are grow
ing more and more emphatic and dis
tlnct. One Radical Senator stated,
recently, that he supposed the increase
of Grants salary, would remove his
desire for a third term. We may in
fer from this, that the increase was in
tended to buy him off, but they ought
to have known that Grant is no
more to be gorged with money than
with whisky.

THE CHOLERA.

We understand that it is still circu-
lated through the country that we are
having fifteen or twenty deaths per day
from cholera. This is false. We take
extra pains to find out all we can in
reference to the sickness and deaths in
our city, and endeavor to give the facts
in the case. Our country readers may
rely upon the statementswe give them.
1t is true there may be some deaths
that We fail to report but we give an
accurate report Of all that we hear of.
One of our physicians reports the
death Of a negro woman this week near
the gas works, who was the grandmoth-
er of the woman who died On the End
ult. This last ease is pronounced un-
mistakable cholera. The negroes used
well water.
Melina Taylor, colored, died in this
city, on the 9Th inst. The physician in
attendance pronounced her disease
genuine cholera. The disease was SUI
perinduced by using improper diet to
excess.
Mr.. John Kelly, an Irish gentle
man who kept saloon opposite the
market hOuse, died at his residence
east of the NJ. E. Church, on the 9th
inst. This case too, is pronounced
cholera, but as in all other cases that
have occurred here, was superinduced
by imprudence.
Another death, that of George Hall,
colored, occurred last Wednesday
evening. This case is also pronounced
genuine cholera. We are informed
that he ate large mess of snap beans
the day before his death.
No case of cholera reported at
Nashville for several days up to time
of putting our paper to press. 1t is
believed that the disease has run its
course in that city. A meeting of
physicians, since its abatement, pro-
nounced the disease Asiatic cholera.
In Memphis the disease has nearly |
disappeared-4 deaths on the 9th.
On the 9th, only one death from
cholera reported at Chattanooga.
One death in Franklin, KY, on the
9th, which makes AZ deaths there since
the first appearance of the disease.
We have no advices from Gallatin,
and suppose that the diseaee there has
disappeared. e /
We hear of no new cases at Erin or
Palmyra.
When the cholera first appeared in
our citizens commenced the
work of purifying premises and atten-
ton to diet, and hence our remarkable
exemption from the malady. But en-
boldened by fancied security, the reek-
less laid aside their caution and hence
the three or four deaths this week
all traceable directly to an imprudence
which would have been dangerous in
the healthiest summer season. The
caution which has averted cholera as
an epidemic should be observed so long
as wet and heat favor its presence in
our midst.
We have an idea, whether correct or
not, that SO much rain and so little sun
give to vegetables a sappy growth, di-
ninish their nutrition and imparting
to them properties which, of them
selves, may be exciting causes of all
diseases akin to cholera. ;
