The New York Medical Record has a
timely article calling attention to the need
ofprecautions to be taken against the in.
PRODUCTION of cholera into the United
States. Referring to the proposed appro-
priatiCn of s25, 1000 to the national board of
health and 100000 to be used at the discre.
tion of the president in keeping away the
cholera, il is stated that as this amount will
not be available before March /, much of the
good that this money might do will be lost
The machinery to successfully guard
against the cholera must be got into
proper working operation by April /, and
the limited time in which TO compass this
end makes every delay upon the part of
Congress III the matter of appropriations a
most serious matter.
The truth about the cholera prccaution
is that congressman do not give it the at
tention its Importance demands. We are
not so far ahead Of our brethren across the
water III sanitary arrangements to feel
assured that the disease will never get a
secure foothold among us. The impossi-
bility of scrupulously close inspection of
vessels sailing between the United States
and ports that have been infected
is seen from the slightest consideration of
the situation. Most of these vessels are
owned by foreigners who will not brook
American interference in the way of in
spection, unless they feel that they must :;
and those vessels that have resident physi-
Clans on board are usually blessed with
young medical sprigs imbued with desire
to see the world, and who would ordinarily
give little thought to anything outside the
ordinary routine duties of their Offices.
The task Of guarding against cholera
outbreak is by no means an easy one, and
it is a situation which, if grappled at all,
should be done quickly. Let Congress give
a little time to provide against an actual
danger, instead Of wasting words over Jeff
Davis position in the late war, or consid.
ering treaties that carry on their faces the
evidences of their impropriety.

A Gallant Secretary,

Secretary Lincoln has established a
reputation for gallantry that will shed
lustre on his uneventful administration of
the navy department. When Greely re.
turned from his Inflated Arctic expedition,
the maps of the discoveries made by him
contained places that were named after
some OF Greely'5 intimate friends. The
headlands, capes, mountains, BAYS, llords
and glaciers, We're called in honor of old
army friends. This procedure was not rel
ished by the navy department and Secre.
tary Lincoln few days ago issued an order
that no names OF persons should be placed
on the maps Of the discoveries in the Arc.
tic, except those of the members of the ey.
petition.
There were, however, two concess ions
made in the shape of permission to retain
the names OF Mrs Greely and Mary Murray
Lockwood, the favorite sister of Lieuten-
ant Lockwood. Perhaps the exceptions
were male in these eases because the
hearts OF the fair were with the daring
explorers of the North, though their per.
sons We're absent. At any rate il was a
graceful act on the part of Secretary Lin

HONEST MEN can afford to laugh when
swindlers deceive swindlers, and there was
an excellent illustration of this very thing in
Hazelton, Ohio, few days ago. Peter Rosen-
berger, of that place, for somo timo has been
sending letters TO various parties in Ohio and
Kentucky, offering TO sell them an excellent
quality of counterfeit money that could not
be detected even by experts. He had many
victims. In his letter he gave minute in-
structions TO the parties to so TO a fir-tclass
hotel and register, and TO then inquire of
certain business men for his place. Some of
these letters fell into the hands Of the au-
thorities, and by following the directions
inclosed Rosenberger was arrested. He was
banking on good capital for he knew that
those whom he swindled would not prosecute
him through fear of betraying their own
guilt
