Treatment ofCholera.

The following treatment was generally
adopted in the Paris hospitals during
the late cholera epidemic: The patient
was rubbed with pure alcohol or cam
phorated spirits, bichloride of mecrury,
bismuth and paregoric being admin
istered internally according to the
gravity of disease. Morphia hypo-
dermically, with or without atropla,
was also employed to relieve the

solution of sodium chloride five

for each patient, the operation being
performed slowly in from twelve to
fifteen minutes, by means of an" asp

Bruises.

In slight bruises, and those that are
not likely to be followed by infama-
tion,i nothing more is usually re-
quired than to battle the part with
spirits, as Cologne, brandy, ETC., mixed
with an equal proportion of vinegar
and water. In more severe cases, and
where the accident is near an tmpor-
tant part, as the eye, or any of the
Joints, it becomes a desirable object
to prevent the approach of infama-
ton. For this purpose, leeches must
be employed, repeating them accord

the arm, purgative, and low diet may
become necessary. In the last stage
of bruise where there is merely a
want of tone in the parts, and swell
ing from the effused blood, ETC., tric-
ton should be employed, either sim
ply or with any common liniment.

water on the part, succeeded by
warm friction. saturated solution
of common salt in water, have each
been found successful.

about his hotel. Last night about 10
o'clock, hearing a racket in the dining
room, the Captain looked in and OBJ

opportunity. Hurrying back he tele-

fore to go into detailed biographical
account of the gentleman. 1t will
suffice to recall his latest exploits in
Austin, which necessitated his arrival
here yesterday in company with a

weeks ago Dick hit upon a

novel scheme of replentishing his ex-

concluded to play the part Of discon-

Spence, the well-known land agent,
beseught of him some $50 to defray
burial expenses. The pathetic story
told with streaming eyes, induced Mr..

on a house and lot that
was owned by another darkey. down

the lives of men and women. But to

Some people shrink from making
public the benefit they have received,
while Others are free to tell it abroad
for the good of fellow mortals. OF
the latter kind is Mr.. J. II. Coppuck,
of Mount Holly, N. j., who writes,
"I am one of many who give their
cheerful appreciation OF the merits of

a SAD SUNDAY.
Two Funerals Bring sorrow to the
Hearts of Friends and Kindred.

Hearts Of Friends and Kindred.
The funeral of Mrs. A. Biberstein,
which took place Sunday morn
ing, was largely attended by a sor-
rowing concourse of relatives
and friends. Almost the entire
Hebrew population OF Austin
was present to pay the last act OF rev
erence and respect to one who, while
living commanded the esteem and af-
lection of all with whom she was asso-
ciated. During her residence of more
than a quarter of century in Austin,
Mrs. Biberstein, by her noble nature
and gentle ways endeared herself
to many. and the recollection of her
goodness and numberless deeds of
kindness will not soon be obliterated
from the memory Of her friends. She
leaves q husband and four disconso-
late daughters to mourn her depart
ure.
No sadder funeral was ever
seen in Austin than that
of the lamented .Alf. II. Robinson.
Stricken down, as he was, in the early
prime of a splendid manhood, es-
teemed, admired and loved by hun
dreds, for his manlinesS, integrity and
kiudliness of spirit, it was indeed
matter of infinite regret, that one so
good and true and generous should
have to go.
The character of the funeral pro-
cession was of Itself sufficient testi-
mony of the high standing Of the de-
ceased. Over hundred liremen in
uniform were out, in honor to their
dead comrade. In front Of his own
company-Wash ington-was the COM
pany's horse with habillments of
mourning thrown over him, led by
his faithful driver, Essex Darlington.
Hundreds of friends followed on
horseback and vehicles, the cortege
extending for nineteen blocks along
the Avenue and West Pecan. And
thus was laid to rest, amid the tears of
his kindred and the sorrow of devoted
friends, all that was earthly of one of
natures noblemen.

Not satisfactory.
San 4ntonia Times.

The San Antonio Times attempts
to excuse the extravaganza of the
State administration that made neces-
sary an increase in taxation of ~
cents on the one hundred dollars by
saying: "The poor man will not feel
it much, and it won't hurt the rich"
This may be excellent logic from
the standpoint of the Times, but The
Mail hardly apprehends that it will
satisfy either class.
