The London Daily Nelos, journal usually
fairly disposed toward progress, reports asp0ech
delivered by Joseph Arch on the occasion OF his
return to his native Warwickshire village, which,
il correctly reported, has tone OF demagogism
which is at once surprising and disappointing.
He says that he knows more than the farmers,
and sets them at defiance" That il the House
of Commons dares to resist their claim for the
extension of the suffrage, they shall find Joseph
Arch, at the head of 100000 farm laborers
marching into Palace Yard, and laying hold Of
the doors of st. Stephen's!"
This with his boasting assertion that he will
himself, " il necessary, enter Parliament to
press their claims, is not language to have been
expected of the modest and manly advocate Of
agricultural reform, but we hesitate to believe
that ho has been correctly reported. Tho domi-
nAnt feeling Of Great Britain isintensely British
and it has no sympathy with either Bradlsugh
the Republican, or Jo Arch, the land Democrat.
With this feeling the newspaper press divided, al
it may be on minor subjects, is cordially united
and We presume the Daily Ne,es has not beer
able to honestly represent Arch's expressions

There is, perhaps, more turmoil in this coun-
try than elsewhere on tho subject of Woman's
Rights, but indications are not wanting that
they are receiving a practical recognition in
many other parts Of the world. Thus, the Bri-
tish Government has appointed Miss Pogson,
the eldest daughter of the Government astron.
omer of Madras, to the not unimportant post of
assistant astronomer in the Government observ-
atory. No woman has previously received such
an appointment, but probably few are prepared
to compete tor it. In Holland, the Q leen gives
her especial sanction and favor to journal ed.
tied by a lady, Miss Betty Perk. This editress
is also engaged in an endeavor to establish
cooperative Home, for ladies engaged in liter
ary and artistic pursuits OF whom there appears
to be considerable number in Amsterdam.
Even in Puebla, Mexico, newspaper conducted
by woman has commenced what has some
prospect Of proving prosperous career. What
ever becomes OF the question of Female Suffrage
the claim of women for entrance into new
spheres Of oce,patiou is being satisfactorily an
swered.

does without increasing its own bulk.
The colder tho water is tho creator
it's capaoity to contain these gases.
At rdinnry temperature, pint of
water will contain pint Of cnrbonio

This eapacity is nearly doubled by
reducing tho temperature to that of
ice. Hence, water kept in tho room
awhile is always unfit for use, and
should be often removed, whether it
has become warm or not. And for
the same reason tho water in n pump

A Western DcIuge-The Bursting OF q
Water Spout.
WILLIAMS, & DAVIS.

On Saturday evening last tho viii
lago of Ontario, twenty-five miles
southeast Of Sparta, was visited by
known in Wisconsin,. At 8 p. NJ. the
rain mmenccd falling, with every
appearance Of heavy shower. The
rain fell steadily until midnight,
when all at once tho "wiudows Of
heaven wore opened" and sent forth
nn almost solid body of water. In
thirty minutes the streets were rivers
and tho village .vabt lake. The
lower part Of the town was submerg-I
cd tc. tho depth of six feet, filing the
lower stories Of the buildings and
driving the occupants, to tho cham.
bcrs before they could remove the!
goods from below. At | O'Clock on
Sunday morning tho water had roach;
ed its greatest height, the rain had
ceased to. full ard gradually the wa
tcrs subsided, until 1t: .hupdown of
that day tho water had roceded from
the streets, and the Kickapoo river
had retired within it's proper banks.
Ten bridges across that stream, in
the town of Whitestown, wero garfield
away. and many others in tho adjoin-
ing towns Of Star and Clinton. Both
tho milldams in tho village of On
tario are gone. When tho waters
subsidized, drowned hogs, Battle and
sheep wero found in all directions,
end the crops on the low lands of the
Kickapoo y"lley are completely des-
troycd. Fences in that valley and
Brush creek valley near by arc all
swept away.
The damage to that locality is i'm
mcnse, many. losing all their crops,
their most valuable household goods
and also their stock. Fortunately no
lives arc known to have been lost.
The sudden fall of water is supposed
to have been the result of tho burst

tion produced, is .eaid to, beggar. des-

Prepare for The Cholera.

Of the first Importance just now,
when tho cholera is around us, is care
of personal health. Temperance iu
eating aud drinking regular hours
! for sleep frequent bathing in pure
wator, good, plain, substantial food,
avoiding to much ice water, or drink
ing nQpo.iGod when hoated. If a person
has any tendency to bowel complaint
a flannel band should be worn around
tho bowels, reaching from tho ribs to
the hips. =. =!
Ifany symptoms o. d 4rrNoo, should
appear poiuful or painless, rest is the
immediate thing to be donc-abso-
lutte rest let no excuse whatever
prevent. Whatever medication is re-
quired should bo under tho advice of
physician, who should be SUMMONED
pro mptly, for it is during the FIRST
stages of this affection that remedies
should be applied. A few hours d..
lay may prove fatal in the end.
Sanitary. care Of. premises and
places, ~ sunlight, fresh air, pure
water and cleanliness are the greatest
and best of proph ylaxes. In every
city and town there should be general
cleausi1gs and a removal or thorough
disinfec.ion Of all sources of decompo-
sition, vegetable or animal. ;,
AS scientists have now fully settled
upon the opinion that call matters
which patient discharges from the
stomach or bowels are infcctive,' when
cholera is the prevailing epidemic
these should be especially guarded,
and whatever poison they may contain
or eliminate be Immediately and Ut
terly destroyed or rendered innocuous.
This may be accomplished by tho dis
,iafoosants which any druggist will
supply.
