A m1s.1onarx on the Cho1era.

Dr. Hamlin, for many years missionary of the American Board at Constantinople, has furnished to the Christian Mirror many years ago an account of his very successful treatment of the cholera in that city. His practice has extended through three visita- tions of this dreaded disease, in 1947, 1855 and 1865:
 DEAR SR:-The cholera, which has just left us after committing fearful rayages, is making it's way into Europe, and will proba- bIy cross the Atlantic before another summer has passed.
 Having been providentially compelled to have good degree of practical acquaintance with it, and to see it in all it's forms and stages during each of it's invasions of Con- stantinople, I wish to make to my friends in Maine some suggestions which may relieve anxiety, or be of practical use.
 I. On the approach of the cholera every family should be prepared to treat it without waiting for physician. It does it's work so expeditiously, that while you are waiting for the doctor it is done.
 H. If you prepare for it it will not come. I think there is no disease which may be avoided with so much certainty as the chole- ra But providential circumstances, or the thoughtless indiscretions of some member of

SOUTHERN INDEPENDENTS.
sINGLE OOPTEs TWO CRNTs

The Independents of the North are doing what they can to perpetuate Democratic rule, and thus make it harder for the Indepen- dents of the South to exercise their right to vote. But we are glad to notice that in some
 parts of the solid South there seems to be a disposition to boldly dispute the Democratic ascendancy which has been maintained by fraud and violence. In Concor1ia parish, Louisiana, there are 13,594 colored people and l, ,320 white people. There are about 3, 400 colored voters and from $50 to 375 white voters. This parish has been kept sol idly Democratic, but Hon. George J. Walton distinguished Democrat, who represented the parish in both branches of the legislature and recently speaker of the senate, has got tired of falsely representing 8 Republican constituency and concluded to become Republican himself. In an ad- dress to the public MT. Wal ton thus characterizes the Louisiana
 mode of carrying elections: Our elections in this state are notoriously carried by the most open and shameless frauds-required by the
 machine" that now governs affairs of State This corruption is calculated to and will,
 in time, undermine and utterly destroy organ ized government and reflect dishonor upon the very name of liberty. The sooner the people understand this and rise up and assert their m.~nhood, lay hold of this moral lepro- sy and utterly destroy and eradicate it from their political system, the better for their vi tai interests
 There are in Concordia parish more than one hundred and fifty white men of ''the substantial and influential class" who will vote this year for Blaine and Logan. With
 fair election Concordia parish will be al
 most solidly Republican. Precisely the same sentiment prevails in Catahoula parish, and,
 in fact, the whole sugar growing region. MT. Walton in his address says that in his own
 case ''the change is more apparent than
 real" Before the war he was whig, and
 he still believes in protective tariff and lib
 eral appropriations for internal improve
 ments. He had not very far to go to become
 Republican.
 Thousands of old whigs in Louisiana are, it
 is said, ready to be independent of Democrat
 ic rule and vote the Republican ticket. The Independents of the North should be found
 acting with them and not doing anything to
 give support to the southern bulldozers

{ that want leads to drunkenness. He holds that improvidence and selfshness are the principal causes of the drinking habit
 Judge Luke Poland of Vermont, who has bee1 set down as an Independent, is evident ly not much of an Independent yet, for in a
 recent letter he said: know of no way to sustain the principles of your party and make
 them successful except to vote for and elect your own candidates Mr. Cleveland and MT. Hendricks may be very excellent gentle men, but if with the aid of these excellent
 Independents they get elected, they will have
 to be taken subject to all the bad doctrines
 and bad practices of the party. The party is the dog and will do the wagging
 Let every true Republican remember that no man can serve two masters, and also that
 ''he that is not for us is against us, and he that gathers not with us scatters abroad"
 The questions of the present campaign are mainly of business and economic character but so far as the material prosperity of the country is concerned believe it vital that the Republican policy be maintained, and
 they are important enough to call for the effort of every true Republican in the land.
 E petition addressed to the ladies of Paris
 imploring them ''to remain really pretty" recently appeared in Parisian paper. The
 writer tells the Parisiennes that they are the
 Beethovens and the Mozarts who compose
 the symphonies of the celebrated Paris
 toilets, and that their followers are dispersed
 all over the civilized world. But, he cries
 in horror, what structure is that which of late makes them appear of size which would
 have gladdened the heart of any Roman mat ron, but at sight of which an Amazon would
 hide her face-that bag hanging down from
 collar to waistband which seems to have
 been initiated from the opossum, and in
 which it would be easy to carry few t"pet- its?" Then there is that movable coachman's seat," ordinarily called crinolette It is growing and growing, and this year it has assumed dimensions such as to lead the writ CT of the Humble petition" to think that no one at Madrid, at Vienna or St. Petersburg will believe that such fashion originated at Paris and did not arrive direct from Berlin.

household may invite the attack, and the challenge will never be refused. It will probably be made in the night, your physi- elan has been called in another direction, and you must treat the case yourself or it will be fatal
 CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS.
 III. Causes of Attack-I have personally investigated at least a hundred cases, and not less than three-fourths could be traced directly to improper diet or to intoxicating drinks, or to both united. Of the remain der, suppressed precipitation would comprise large number. A strong, healthy temper ate, laboring man had severe attack of cholera, and after the danger had passed l was curious to ascertain the cause He had been cautious and prudent in his diet He nsed nothing intoxicating. His residence was in good locality. But after some hours of hard labor and very profuse precipitation, he had lain down to take his customary nap right against an open window through which a very refreshing breeze was blowing. An other cause is drinking largely of cold water when hot and thirsty. Great fatigue, great anxiety, fright, fear, all figure among incl ting causes. If one can avoid all these, he is as safe from the cholera as from being swept away by comet.
 ". Symptoms of an Attack.-While chol- era is prevalent in place almost every one experiences more or less disturbance of di- gestlon. It is doubtless in part imaginary. Every one notices the slightest variation in feeling and this gives an importance to mere trihes. There is often slight nausea, or transient pains, or rumbling sounds, when no attack follows. No one is entirely free from those. But when diarrhoa commences, though painless and slight, it is in reality the skirmishing party of the advancing column. It will have at first no single characteristic of Asiatic cholera. But do not be deceived. It is the cholera nevertheless. Wait little, give it time to get hold, say to yourself, q feel perfectly well-it will soon pass of, |" and in short time you will repent of your folly in vain. l have seen many a one commit SUI icide in this way.
 Sometimes, though rarely, it commences with vomiting. But whatever way it com mences, it is sure to hold on. In very few hours the patient may sink into a collapse. The feet and hands become cold and pur- plish, the countenance nervous and anxious, becomes gloomy and apathetic, although g mental restlessness and raging thirst torment the sufferer while the powers of life are eb ping. The intellect remains clear, but all the social and moral feelings seem to col lapse with the physical powers. The patient knows he is to die, but cares not snaI about it.
 In some cases the diarrhoea continues for a day or two, and the foolish person keeps about, then suddenly sinks, sends for phy- sician, and before he arrives "dies as the fool dieth."

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Can your inform your readers whether the misspelling of the Connecticut names at the Independent mud-slingers' convention" held in New York last week was accidental or was it purposely done, so that their acquaintances would not know who was meant by the names as published? If not the latter, will some of those whose names were so crooked ly spelled have the record corrected, that we may hereafter know who was meant when such names are referred to.
 As this was the first convention of the Pharisees' party under the corporate name of Independent Mud-Slingers, history should not be at fault in giving credit to whom credit is due. z.

A simple way to ascertain whether sam pie of petroleum is dangerous or not has been recommended by chemist of consider able standing. An ordinary tumbler is filled two-thirds full with the oil. While filling up the remaining one-third with boiling water a flame is held over the vessel. If the vapor which rises takes fire the test indicates that the petroleum is not safe to be exposed to the atmosphere.

pr. Baron, French writer, shows that the most potent cause of indigence in France is drink, and that in fact it produces more pauperism than all other causes put together
 To those who have regarded France as a tenn perate country, this statement may be sur prising, but Dr. Baron furnishes statistical proof of it's truth Taking the Republic at large, there is one cabaret, or public house, for every 105 people; while there is one say ings bank for every 2s, ,5O0, and one benefit society for every 54, GOO. It is estimated that the average expenditure of a superior French workman in drink and gambling (and mainly in drink, annually, is $40, though Dr.
 Baron thinks this an exaggeration. It is in teresting to note that he combats the notion

The prairie dogs are troubling the grazing districts of Texas. They thickly inhabit a section of country two hundred miles long and two hundred and fifty miles wide. The advent of the white man into this ooun- try has but increased their numbers, as man has destroyed the wolves, badgers, rattle snakes, partners and other animals which prey upon the prairie dogs They eat the grass in the summer and the grass roots in winter, and the consequence is that what was but a few years ago the finest grazing region in America is fast becoming 8 verdureless desert Unlike all other animals in America, the prairie dog is migrating, not west, but east.

Secretary McPherson has figured out the chances of securing Republican house of representatives. He thinks them good From many localities he is receiving assur- ances that on the tariff issue many districts now represented by Democrats may be re- deemed. This, he thinks, will be the case in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, North Caro- lima, New Jersey and Connecticut, while elsewhere the "tidal wave" majorities of 1889 will be wiped out and districts lost then will be regained. For instance, in Massachusetts Mir. McPherson expects to carry every dis trict save one.
