Its prS1sr an6 Improper Treatment, with

Hints TO It's Prevention.
Or. John G. Peters, in the New York Herald
What is the distinguishing ~festure of
Asiatic cholera, Doctor?"
1t is this, / think, that the poison or
germs of cholera invaribly destroy the
epithelium or soft skin lining the muc-
II membrane of the bowels, and lay
it bare as if it had been fayed. Hence
the redness and CONGESTION of the
Gus membrane. From the red surface
the serum of watery portion of the
blood flows in large quantities, just as
it does from an ordinary blister on the
skin. Previous to 1866 there enormous
discharges were attributed to weakness
and relaxation of the bowels, and / was
the first to point out that they were due
to the destruction of the epthelium.
This is not a theory, but a fact, amply
proved by post-mortem examinations,
and destroying the germs, and not alone
of restraining the discharges and sooth-
ing the raw mucous membrane.
Here I may mention that much mis-
chef has been caused by q popular
medicine largely composed of red pep
per, ginger and brandy, and which,
though useful in cases of cholera morbus,
is among the most injurious that could
be selected in cases of real cholera.
The reason is that the GOODNESS of the
surface of the body, or what is Collapse,
is caused by the tremendous irritation
of the bowels, and that any further ir-
r~itation naturally increases the collapse.
Strange to say this medicine has beer
largely used for the past years. No
skillful doctor, however, would dream
of recommending it. Henceforward the
scientific treatment of cholera will be
based on the use of germicides. OF
these sulphate of iron, suggested by M
in 1866, gallo acid and all the dilute
mineral acids, especially the sulphuric,
are also ~astringents. The dilute sui
phuric acid, especially the aromatic
tincture, has attained the highest repu-
tation as a preventive and cure of Ash
attic cholera, Corrosive sublimate,
which would probably be used by scien-
tifc physicians is not alone poisonous,
but very dangerous, since it can only be
used in a minute form. One particle
would kill 20, 1000 germs. Still it is the
most efficient germicide known at pres
emit. Koch recommends picnic acid,
which is the same as chemically pure,
carbolic acid. Chemically pure, mind,
for the chemically impure has signally
failed, sinceit has been proved that bac-
teriaewill live for a long time In strong
solutions of it. Among the domestic
preventives, the best to my mind are
common table salt and vinegar, used
separately and in fairly large quantities
as condiments of food. A strong solu-
tion of chloride of soda, or table salt,
would be as effectual as chloride of zinc
or even chloride of mercury, which is
the same as corrosive sublimate. If
nurses and doctors washed their hands
regular in vinegar while attending
cholera patients, / feel sure they will
escape the disease"

The New York Sun closes a peppery article
by defining its position in these words: "But-

on well in the state, and Blaine will carry it by

that Hanley, Democratic candidate for con-
gress in the First district, win be beaten. His
vote on the Morrison bill, his land %manipula-
tons and his connections with the MAMMALIAN
| government during the Mexican war are telling
against him. He is frantic and losing ground
every day. There is strong hope of carrying
the legislature and of electing q Republican
United States senator to succeed Farley"
Representative Money of Mississippi,
touching the ~scandalous publication against
Mr.. Blaine made by the Indianapolis Sentinel,
says: bringing out those charges has made
Mr.. Blaine more friends In the South than
anything else. Itgives him no votes, but the
peoples sympathyis awakened and they ex-
| press the bitterest indignation at the course OF
the Sentinel. There is a friend of mine down
in Mississippi who went to school to Blaine in
Kentucky and knew his wife perfectly well,
and all the circumstances of her marriage.

name, but when MI. Shoemaker wrote him
about Che matter he responded most mdig-
naRtly. ~denouncing the story as . base Islander.
Buffalo, n. I. Special: Fourteen prominent
clergymen at this city have. been looking up

ing and painful stories about the governors

ministers, however, refuse to reveal names. or
to tell what the witnesses said. One story

ions made before them refers to a mysterious

ABOUT Grady. Suppose the president OF the

Further IN in his remarks Gen. Sickles
said:

Ignorant mAn-erterribly ignorant man. He
cannot be otherwise when he will outrage Ex-
ecutiye dignity and propriety as to write q let
ter demanding that a certain State Senator
shall not be reelected because obnoxious to
him. That was what he said about Grady.
It's really a frightful thing to say that four
years ago Cleveland was nota prominent Dem
ocrat in his own town. The fact is, he was
drawnin tho lottery of availability, and was
not a prize.

Grady and Cleveland.

Ii Is possible the Cleveland faction of the
democracy in Buffalo made q serious mistake
in bowling Town Mr.. Grady the other evening.
Besides the ~discourtesy of such conduct, and
il was a -discourtesy stretched to the bound of
Of violent rudeness, there is involved a consid-
Grafton of principles and policy which touch
the democracy itself. Mr.. Grady is q man who
has the courage of his convictions clear
Nv and impressively understood. For
reasons sufficient unto himself he stood
resolutely by the prejudices expressed in
National convention and refused TO ad-
yocate the interests OF the nominee OF that
convention. He has too much animel vitality
and too positive an energy OF Thought TO pe an
inactive sulker, and so did not content hlmsel
with refusing to accept Cleveland, but set ear
nestly about showing the public that he thor
oughly and heartily repudiated him as q lead
AZ the same time he said or did nothing to
indicate that he was any less arderily devoted
to the theories and purposes OF the Democratic
narty than he had ever been, and it is a fact
that he has always affiliated with the extrem-
ists OF Democracy. Mr.. Grady simply declared
he did not believe Grover Cleveland to be fitfor
the Office Of President of the United States,

The Republican state central committee has
issued he following address:
To the Republican Voters of Minnesota: The
splendid victory in Ohio, excelling in magni-
tude and significance our highest hopes, in
spires the Republicans of the nation will re-
newed confidence in an overwhelming triumph
for Blaine and Logan in November. That
Minnesota viii exceed, rather than fall
short of, her promised $1,000 Repub-
lican majority for the electoral ticket, is
now highly probable. 1t should be our pride
to send Minnesota to the front as the ban
ner Republican state of the solid. North; and
70 have a prospect of doing this, If we roll up
portant duty lies before us. That duty is to
return a solid Republican delegation to con-
gress from the State Of Minnesota. From the
gains already made in Maine, Ohio and else
whore, the Republicans of the country are en-.
couraged to hope that they can rescue the
cratic control. In all the close and doubtful
districts they are straining every nerve
to accomplish this result. 1t is all i'm
portant for the success of President Blaine's
administration that he be sustained by
a Republican congress. 1t would be .
lasting shame and disgrace TO republican

A MARINERS GHOST STORY.
Ar 01d Portland sh1p-Master's Tale of a
Haunted Vessel.

An old Portland ship-master recalls
in the Press the following good ghost
story. He says that one night on a yoy-
age from which he had Just returned,
while lying off the battery at New York,
waiting for the crew to come on board,
he heard some n on the top of the
house calling his name. Now this was
not only the captains name, but also
that of his son, who was his mate on this
voyage. Only the captain, mate and
steward were on board, and on hearing
the voice they all went on
deck, but saw no one. The next day
the bark sailed for Rio Janeiro, and
several strange occurrences took place
on the passage. One morning his son,
the mate, said to him: aThe ship is
haunted. / tureed out on my watch
at four o'clock in the morning and asI
went out of the cabin door i saw some
one in white, but before 1 could distinr
disappeared around the main-mast.
The steward said he saw it also, and
was frightened. 2 Sofle days after this
the steward called the captain and told
him the mate had not yet come on deck.
The captain went to the mates stnte-
room, and on opening the door SAW the
mate apparently laughing at him, but
on taking hold of him he found be was
dead. From his distorted coante-
nance it appeared that he had been
frightened to death. Several other
strange occurrences happened on board,
and on arriving at Rio the steward
left the vessel on account Of . feeling
that she was haunted. Strange noises
continued to be heard on board, such as
the working of the MINDLESS in heaying
the anchor, but on goingforward no one
was to be seen. Now comes the strangest
part of the story. During the captains
absence on the voyage another son 81
his arrived home from a voyage, and re-
marked that he woald 60 down for bis
dunnage. He came back with it and
Law down for a nap. Not coming down
to tea some Of the family went to call
him and found him dead. This was
about the timethat the mate and steward
saw the figure in white.
