LONDON. May 5.-Nearly million pilgrims who
assembled at the Hurdman fair in India, carried the
cholera in various directions Outbreaks of the dis
ease are reported from several places Some cases
have occurred among the European troops. 1t is
serted that of $4,000 persons who went to the fair

having been caused by the pelice forcing them to

The DEPTH Of profundity displayed by the
editor Of the Oh no, we never mention it =
hebdomadal printed over the Post Office, is some
thing really startling in Its mysterious obscurity.
We have tried to comprehend the meaning Of the
writer, but utterly failed in arriving at any
thing tangible. And SO We have to Confess, that
With our present light, we are not satisfied with
the plan suggested for raising the wind. WE
like the certificates of depOsite Of the Treasury
Department, simply for the reason that we be-
lieve the coin is stored. dollar for dollar, for the
paper. But if We, (and that comprehends the
public at large) were veraciously informed that
the paper dollar issued by the Treasury was
backed by only a half a dollar in coin, we should
rot put the paper dollar by as n safe deposit, but
we should go and have it cashed at once-with
no regrets for the other man who might after
wards come for the halfdollar that was moi there.
And when it Is suggested by the financial wise
acre aforesaid that his friend the Chinaman
would be compelled to take the proposed - post
notes =" TOR his labor and thus save the coin to
the country, he undertakes the sagacity of his
Monaghan brother, for John knows, if the editor
in question does not, that neither certificates Of
deposite nor post notes. are legal tender, and that
for them ne could demand coin. John would be
very likely to do SO. But the writer under re-
view lie not the first one who has essayed short
cuts to afiuence, and will not be the last. His
residence in the United States, where currency
has for years been a . mixed quantity - and a
yexed question for statesmen, has evidently failed
to fit him for the post of boss fnancier for the
Hawaiian Kingdom. We like a coin basis, and
the coins Especially the gold ones) of the United
States suit us very we'll. But if this profound
fnancier must have q paper currency, we suggest
that he invest in the twenty-five cent, fifty cent,
and one dollar revenue stamps. That ought to
be a good fractional currency. In fact there are
stamps of the denomination Of five and ten dol
lars, that will fill the aching void and make him
happy. Besides, stamps are made SO as to stick,
which ought to be a disideratum with some
