ALEXANDRIA in Egypt is threatened
with water famine. The canal, thirty
miles long, supplying it from the Nile,
has become almost dry. 1t is choked
with mud, the water being diverted by
great land owners higher up for their
cotton crops. The old Roman cisterns
have mostly been broken up for build
ing material, and those remaining are
too foul for use.

Sanitary Precautions-Among tb

Sanitary PrecautiOns.-Am Among the
sanitary precautions which should be
observed in summer time, especially by
those resident in country places, the
Rural Ne,o Yorker thinks that perhaps
none is more important than that they
should breakfast before going out to
work in the morning. Compliance with
this rule is particularly beneficial in
newly-settled districts, on fat-lying
lands, on all river bottoms, and wherever
vegetation is rank and of rapid growth.
In early morning science and exper-
fence alike prove that the mischievous
ingredients of the air are part cularly
active, while the human system is un-
usually lax and debilitated and proper
tionately liable to be injuriously af-
fected by noxious atmospheric infu-
ences, liability greatly lessened by the
bracing up of the system produced by
an early breakfast
In all places subject to miasma some
of the settlers die yearly of it, while
others live to ripe old age, and an ex-
animation of the causes leading to these
very different results, will, in almost ev-
cry case, show that an early breas fast
holds probably the most prominent
place. The Creoles of Louisiana, like
the old settlers in Florida, rarely ven
ture out of doors in the morning, in
summer time. before taking at least a
cup of strong coffee with biscuit or
crackers; the traveller foolish enough TO
venture before breakfast across the
miasmatic Pontine marshes near Rome,
is pretty certain to die in few days
thereafter, whereas if fortified with
breakfast, he may make the journey in
safety.
few other brief hints on what ones
conduct should be in warm weather may
not be out of place. Keep the head
cool in the sun, by placing in the hat a
cabbage leaf or wet cloth; after work,
change the northumberland clothing,
and invgorate the system with a daily
bath. Avoid all carbonaceous, or heat
producing food, such as fat meats, but
ter, sugar, ETC., and eat lib rally of veg
etables, such as spinach, melons, ETC., as
we'll as of ripe fruit, while eschewing
carefully that which is unripe. In bath
ing be careful to put cotton or some
other substance into the ears, for fire.
quent injury to the hearing and some
times permanent deafness result from
diving without such precaution. Keep
the bowels open by mild aperient, such
as Turkey rhubarb. Epson salts, etc.
and it would also be well to keep on
hand some diarrhea mixture. Keep
cool in body, and especially keep cool in
temper.
A friend seeing these lines, remarked
that he thought ninety-nine out of ev-
erg hundred readers never acted on such
advice. !" In that case" was the reply,

of fame upon his head; but when
tho most scientific school Of medi-
cine in the world-that of Paris
published this receipt as a panacea for
small pox it passed unheaded. 1t is
as unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by a we'll person. 1t will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the re-
ceipt as l have used it, and cured
scarlet fever; here it is as I have
used it to cure small pox, when learn
ed ply sicians said tho patient must
die: Sulphate of zinc, one grain ;
half a teaspoonful of sugar; mixed
with two tablespoonful of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water. Take a spoonful
every hour. Either disease will dis
appear in twelve hours. For a child,
smaller doses, according to age. II

Of others will hardly take the trouble
to turn aside from their melancholy

the injury of the Democratic ticket.
The country expects the city to give
such an overwhelming Democratic

opposition majorities in the negro

crably. For, while tho whites may

manipulating the negro votes, most

We have reliable authority for stating
that already the colored registration
in New Orleans is nearly equal to that

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON D. G., Sept. q, l>7>.

The National Republican of this
morning is full of General Grant.
Even Conkliny is not mentioned. TO
this complexion has the paper been
brought by the radical defeat in Maine
on Monday last. TO see so conser-
vatlve State as Maine quit the Re-
publican party is, indeed. enough to
convince any one that the Republicans,
as a party, cannot elect their candi-
date for the Presidency in 1850, and
to make them look around for some
man who has strength outside of the
meIe party organization. The only
questions for them to consider arc
whether or not tho General has that
strength, and whether or not it will
be sufficient to Offset tho unidentified
repuguance of the people to giving
any man third term a. President.
The National Republican, evidently
believes he has the strength, and
Anost be rcckoaed as :. Grant paper
hereafter.
Exactly what Main - vas to de
feat two Republica ;1rcs for
Congress and e!e' is..ltnYn
which, on joint ballot, il Doiupcralic
and Greenback. This ensures the
election of Governor and other State
officers against the Republican can
didates. For twenty. two years tho
State has been solidly Republican.
Of the more remote results may be
named the good effect upon the De-
mocracy of other States, and the ill
effects upon the prospects of Senator
Blaine. The absurd idea advanced
by some men aud papers that tho
Democratic party of the State WAS
"swalIowed' by the Greenback party
shows only ignorance of the facts.
The party has had discussions among
it's leaders in Maine for many years.
Unless the best Democrats of tho
State are mistaken all old divisions
will now be healed. and tho party,
stronger by thousands. Of votes than
ever before, will next year assume
entire control Of the State Govern
ment. Its differences are such as
need not be permanent, while thcro
are those in the Republican party,
GOT all of which were active at the
late election, which must exist as
long as Blaire Hamlin, Hale and
others hold the position of leaders.
The Republican rout in Maine is only
begun.
Physicians were sent from this city
few days since, with nurses. One
of the physicians has inst returned,
and bis report of the condition of af-
fairs, when generally known. will
greatly increase the sympathy folt
for the wretched people Of the South
west. It is not possible to write
plainly Of the terrible condition in
which helpless women, children and
men are left. All self-restraint is
lost among large class of those not
yet attacked with the fever. and there
is little protection for person or prop
erty. And starvation is III thousands
of homes. Mr.. Hayes, when lie re-
turns to tho Capitol, should not only
extend such aid to the people of tho
Southwestern cities as be can do by
virtue of holding the office of Pres
ident, but he should, by proclamation.
call the attention of all citizens to tho
necessities of the case. Too much or
too ready relief cannot be given.
