DALLAS, July l9.--As health and COM
ucrcc walk hand in hand, and the last droops
as the first languishes it Is, therefore, appro-
pirate at this juncture, with ASiuiic cholera
spreading over Europe and threatening
American ports, some mention should be
made of methods preventive not only of
cholera but Of all those dreadful diseases
that come TO places quickest where
cleanliness Is most neglected. Every
tilthV pool and vault is nest
where those microbes breed that are liberated
daily, Matched by the ardent sun TO fly abroad
to infect the air and bring death into house
holds. The daily press informs us that
carts, or tanks ON wheels, are rolling daily
along the streets of Eastern cities, dstrib-
uting disinfcctants among the people, and
.msl such step is needed here. Every
druggist In Dallas is supplied with the
verv articles needed and can furnish
at low rates persons able to purchase. But the
eaty ought TO purchase and place, in the To-
caliiies most needing IT., the abodcs of the
poorest, those caustic solutions that are sure
death TO the microbes-the germs of the
plague.

had little faith when a friend brought
her bottle of Athlophoros, saying she
thought it would relieve her. However,
in order to satisfy her she tried it. After
taking two doses she thought she felt q
little change for the better, and so she
continued until she had taken three bot
ties and she found herself completely
cured

THE LNRORN PARTY.

The Christian Union, the organ of "a party
yet unborn, - having belonged to this par
ty for over two years. is just now vigorous.
ly aiming to help forward its partruition.
1t denounces ''the five parties which ask the
suffrage of the American people," as IN
worthy cf regard, respect or support. II de-
mands absolute perfection in human organ
izations VIII IFS "unborn party VIII en- it
sees the light. partake of no element Of hui
man infirnity! VIII this prefgured party
be angelic, and patrake of the attributes of
infinite intelligence.
These cranky goodies, reach the very pin
nacle of impracticable absurdity by rejecting
human organizations because they are I'M
fortunately married with some defects. Why
not, on the same ground, repudiate the
church itself! Has it no errors, no blem-
ishes incident TO poor human nature? Does
it not often, quite too often develop immoral
cergymen, and oftener immoral member.
ship Did not the first apostleship, appointed
by Christ himself contain a devil!
Why does not the Christian Union reject
the church, if not christianity itself because
it is lecked with lapses from absolute virtue
1t processes to have received great encour-
agement to bring forth its ''un born party
and doubtless when it is produced, it will be
model in which all the cranks in chris
tendon will rejoice. 1t may well be conced-
ed that weak and shallow conceit may be
allied to the best intentions, but such con-
ceit practically renders a man fool.
