10 Whenever and wherever dis eases
OF choleraic type prevail, or there is
cause to apprehend visit from them,
the system should be toned, regulated
and reinforced by co;.rse of Hostel

ton and regular habit OF body are the
best safeguards against such maladies,
and both are secured by this inestima-
bic tonic and Alternative. The Bitters
are also extremely seryiceable in rene.

ENGLAND'S GOBBLE.
The Isle of Cyprus to be Occupied by
British Troops, the Result OF
Treaty of Defense with
Turkey.

LONDON, July 8.-The official correspond
ence in relation to the occupation of the island
of Cyprus has been made public. Lord
Salisbury, writing to Minister Layard, May
Both, explains the necessity of an arrange
ment to counterfeit the influence in the direc-
ton OF disintegration which the mere posses
sion by Russia of Batoum and the fortresses
north of the Arayes would exercise on the
population of AsIaic Turkey, even if it
should be certain that those places would not
become the base from which the emissaries
of intrigue could issue, to be followed in due
course by invading armies. The dispatch
states that private negotiations have shown
that Russia Is not inclined to modify those
portions of the treaty of San Stefano which
upon its being an Indispensable part of any
agreement that England shall receive the
night to insist on satisfactory arrangements
for the good government of the people of
Asiatic Turkey.
The following are the features of the con-
ventIons between Great Britain and Turkey
1t is stipulated that Batoum, Kars and Arda-
han are retained by Russia, and if an at
tempt Is made at any future time to annex a
portion of the sultan's territory In Asia not
coded by the de6nitive treaty of peace, Great
Britain engages to join the sultan in defend
ing his territory by force of arms; the sultan
in return promises to introduce the necessary
reforms, to be agreed upon later. In order
to enable Great Britain to make the necessa-
ry provision for executing her engagement,
the sultan consents to assign the island of
Cyprus, to be occupied and administered by
Great Britain, who agrees to pay to the
Porte the present excess of the islands reve-
nues over its expenditures Finally. Great
Britain engages to evaacuate the island if
Russia restores BatJum, Kats and Arabian
to Turkey.
The convention is to be ratified within a
month

the American Hebrew congre cations OF the
principal cities of the United States will meet

the different sections of the country. The
council will also discuss the feasibility of
securing lands in the west and SOUTH which
may be colonized by Jews who are not pos
sessed of sufficient means to establish their
homes and business. The principal aim of
the session, however, will be to consolidate
all the reformed congregations Of the coun-
try, to the important end that number of
colleges, under the auspices of the council,
may be established. Another important OBJ
ject 10 to secure uniformity OF service among
the reformed congregations. The session

ton of the convention there will also be held

THE meeting of the chamber of commerce
yesterday was one of more than ordinary in
terest. A thoroughly representative commit
tee was appointed to represent the city IN the
barrow gauge railroad convention, shortly to
be held in Cincinnati, and the committee on
railroad freight determinations submitted
number Of letter., showing that they have
been aclvely at work, and are alive to the
Importance Of the matter submitted to them.
Our member of congress, upon invitation, ex-
planned his conduct in regard to legislation
affecting the local interests of Memphis, es
peclally the customhouse, for the construction
of which he has done so much. He read his
letter 10 John Sherman touching the matter
of the contract which that notorious person
has illegally confirmed to the soft-stone con-
tractor Of Illinois, Mr.. Schneider; whereupon
Mr.. l. NJ. HILL read from the Congress
siOHal Record list of the original
bids, as the attorneys of Schneider had
given them to the house Of representatives.
Colonel Young in answer stated that he had
satisfied the committee on public buildings
and grounds that lower bids had been offered
and that the supervising architect OF the
treasury had acted corruptly in giving the
contract to Schneider A resolution of remon-
STRANGE against the Schneider bid was very
properly passed, and thus Colonel Young's
conduct was indorsed As to the burned ele-
vator, Mr.. Goyer offered two resolutions, that
were promptly adopted. One Of them tenders
sympathy 10 the st. Louis packet company,
another suggests TO the mayor the advisable
ity of Offering reward, and the third scared
q committee Of representative men to advise
as to the rebuilding Of structure that Mem
phis cannot do without. The opening of the
Big Hatchie, for which the people of Bolivar
and the country between that town and Mem
phis have been for long time clamorous,
was made the subject of resolution by vir-
tue of which committee was appointed to
confer with the proper authorities to secure
needed legislation. Good work thus cut out
and placed IN the hands of efficient COM
mittees, we may reasonably hope for good
results.
