" During the year 1806," said the Doctor, "I attended sixteen patients alarming with .A.eiatic cholera, Fotzeteen of these were located in New Yorle and two in Cincin- nati, 0, In, the paso ten yaws I have sue - easefully treatec1 four cases right in New York city. I claim that there is no inviol- able rale for the treatment of a Cliciera patient. So much depends upon the physi- cal state of the subject that a akilful physi- eters will vary the treatment to a greater or less degree, according to his judgment. • "11 stricken with the malady, see a phyaieian at once. Do not attempt to allay your suffering by home doctoring. Do not allow yourself to beeome panic-stricken, »or, on, the other hand, should yon laagh at precautions deemed necessary in an emerg- ency of this kind. 'Familiarity breeds coutempt' of death and disease as well as other evils, aod as we have become -more or less familiar with reports from the pest ships down the bay, there is perhaps as math danger of the spread of the disease, should it gain a foothold, as from the leek of eeriousness with which many regard it. If you are attacked with symptoms of the disease while on the street, go to the near- est hospital, or ask to be token there. " Among the methods by means of which I have succeeefully treated twenty patients is the following : Give one drop of carbolic acid and two or three of bismuth in mucil- age at intervals of twenty minutes until the vomiting is °sleeked. Then endeavor to cheek the dierrhceal cliatharge by meaue of astringents. Sometimes a preparation of opi tun or lead is very effeetive. An appliea- tion of hot water bottles will prevene ity. If the d larrhcea continues and becomes excessive administer one-sixth of a grain of morphine and 1-120 of a grain of atrophia in fifteen minims of distilled water; means while feed the patient with cracked ice continuallyto allay the fever. Sometimes a rectal injection of laudanum and weak stareli is most effeetiee in gradually stop- ping diarrheeal discharge. ".After having treated sixteen, patients successfully in this manner I was myself taken down with the malady. My symp- toms commoneed -With a rice water dm - charge, continaing for hours, Then follow- ed severe cramps, eacompanied by proftise vomiting. The ermines in iny lege and con- tractions of 0011114801es of the body wore somethingterrible similar, I imagine, to the effeet.produred an a man being shoeked by elecarteity. Through all this I aeoer lot consciouenese but a feeling of complete indifference overcame me. I did not care whether I lived or died. This feeling of utter apathy always accompanies an attach' of genuine cholera, The first symptoms of the disease developed at 3 o'clock, and the diarrham, Mantled for six hours, during which time the discharge amounted to a bueltetftd. The vomiting lasted for only one hour. "There was given to me a half teaepoon- ful of laucianum every forty minutes, also a THE WATERLOO MUTUAL PIKE INERTRANC E 0 0 . alstaboshed in 1863.

This is ample proof that we are steadily progress- ing toward the day when this disease will no longer sweep away thousands, despite all medical aid.

A well-known traveller in Africa says that an one of his long journeys he came across the dislocated skeleton of a buffalo almost intermingled with the broken bones of a lion, tho skull of which was lying near at hand, but devoid of the nasal bones. The ground evidently was the scene of a desper- ate combat in which both animals had sue - climbed. It is a common practice among lions, this gentleman says, to hunt in company. A friend of mine in South Africa had a pecul- iar example of this. His friend V— had wounded a bull buffalo, which had retreat- ed within the forest. The two hunters carefully followed the blood -track, but after a short advance were startled by a succes- sion of load roars, which betokened lions nclose at hand. There could be Retiedoubt that the wounded. buffalo had been attacked. There- fore, with proper precaution, they approach- ed the spot natal an exciting scene present- ed itself suddenly on the oeher side of a large fallen tree, which happily concealed. the approach cf the two hunters. Three lions were engaged in a, lifeeturl- death combat with the gallant old bull, who. made a desperate defence, first, knocking over one of his enemiee, then goring another to the ground, and exhibiting a strength which appeared sufficient to defeat the com- bination. Suddenly the buffalo fell dead. This was the result of the original wound, as the rifle bullet had passed through the lungs. . The hons were not aware of this, and be. gate to quarrel among themselves about their imagined victory. One huge beast reared to half its height and placed its fore•paws upon the body of the prostrate buffalo, while at the head and the hindquarters an angry lien clutched the dead body in Its epreading paws, and growled at the roues- sor of the centre. This. formed a grand picture within only a few rade' distance, but two rifle -shots stretched two lions roll - Ina upon the ground, and the third bound- ed in to the thick covert and disappeared. help, and has won their confidence, knowe bow bitterly girls complain of former tuts - tresses who gave those in their employ scarcely enough to eat. Thin is the kind of woman who offers ber half -worn garments to girls in lieu of their hard-earned wages. Then, again, there are many good -mean- ing women who never think of giving away a garment so long as it eau be made over, notwithstanding they mey be well able to buy new. One woman confused, when the subject was brought before her ia this light, that she believed she really enjoyed & remodeled dress more than she did a knew one, and she knew she nearly alway spentithe money saved by her economy in some foolish, thoughtless way. And there are other women who will sell the cast-off olothing of the family for a trif- ling sum or e new tin pan or a pretty erne - molt. I have seen good weolen dresses, wraps, men's clothing, babys' flannels, laid away to be eaten by moths •' they were not, needed, and the thought of doing good with them uever entered the owner's mind, or if it did she did not seem to know how to go about it. Now, nearly all of us have among our circle of acquaintauces some industrious, proud -spirited little mother with a houseful of little ones and a limited purse, one who finds it almost impossible with all her thrifty management to keep her children looking as well as their associates. She would be thankfulito have some of those things ; they may prove to be a blessing in disguise, if given her by kind words, tem- pered with tact. If you know of no cme to whom such a gif t will be acceptable or you fear giving offence there are other ways of disposing of old clothes, whoro they can do great good. The argament is brought up that so many of the improvident poor ac- cept them without gratitude and wear them out withont taking a stitch in them to pro- long their days of usefulness. This is true, in a meaeure ; but there are many institutions which care for the eh ildreu of hard-working mothers, and wilt gratefully accept castoff 'clothing, make them over for those under. thole charge aud pue them to tae best pos. sible use.

The primal qualiacation, for reaolti -g old age is an inherite 1 tendency to longevity. This 1E1 a different thing from goaa health, and does not even fully correspond to what is known as is sound. rionstitution. Anothor essential to longevity consists in regular and temperate habits of living. In studying the habits of persons who have reached advanced ago, it is found that in the large majorityo. cases great moderation in eating and drinking has been the rule throughout life. Gluttony is an missy to both health and longevtty, while as to alco- holism WO have the testimony of the presi- dent of one of our oldest life Maumee cone, viatica that " amoug imams selected with care for physical smuttiness and sobriety, the death -rate is more profoundly affeeted by the use of intoxicating drinks than from any other amuse apart from heredity." An- other rule, which Is found. to be almost uni- versal among very aged people, is that they have all their lives been in the habit of go- ing to bed and getting up early. They have also avoideil dissipation and fast living in every form. A third requisite for reaching: old ago is healthful employment. Idleness is a greater foe to length ot days than overwork. That occupation is to bo preferred which gives exercise to both body and mind, under the influence of pure air and. healthful surround - logo, without being extremely severe or in. volving too many hours of work. The final necessity for him who would grow old gracefully is a cheerful diapositiou and the habit of looking on the bright side. Passion strains the heart to its utmost ; melaneholy freezes the blood; and. worry wears out the best years of a man's life. No one who habitutaly indulges these or kin- dred emotions has half a chance of reacbing • advanced life. It was the advice of a man of ninety not to worry. "Don't worry about what you can't help," he seid, "for it will do no good. Don't, worry about what you can help, but go to -work and help it," Sound advice this for all. who aspire to be- come no nagenarians.-gx.

That the current prices of wheat are af- fented by the operations of " bulls " and of "bears," of those dealers that is, who wish to toss up prices, or those who wish to trample them down, is not open to question. That those men issue frsudulent reports as to the stocks on hand, as to various bar - vests, as to prices elsewhere, as to future prospects, is notorious. That speculators sell what they do not own, and bay what they never intend to own; that they prac- tice every conceivable triok to get an advan- tage over others, is well known. That, at times, they make a fortune by a stroke of luck, and lose heavily also„ now and again, by overreaching themselves in trying to cheat others, is well understood. Bat that such rascals, for such these operators are, really control theprices of wheat for any i lengthy term is mpossible. The higher they hold.priees against the natural tendency downwards, owing to ample supplies, the greater the drop is wh ea the strain is broken. Men might dam the riaagera River so as to step the Falls, but the dam wo aid burst some time, a.nd their natural level would be reach- ed swiftly. Speculators may lift or epress prices for very brief periods, but they can- not affect the general average of a e ear. The world's wheet field is now too large ; the sources of supplies too wide spread ; the markets are too extensive; the facilities for moving stocks too great, the information at- tainable as to supply, consumption, and efis. mand, is too generally available, for any permanent effect on prices to be produced by any gang et speculators. It is said that, when rognea fall oat, honest meu get their own," so the continual fight between " hulls" and " bears" keeps the prices of wheat from being controlled by either one set or the other. Sudden changes may al- ways be suspected; unless some extraordin- ary calamity has suddenly fallen upon the harvests of this continent, or Europe, or India. .A little watchfulness will enable wheat holders to, avoid either selling too eoon, or too late. • A Company has beeix fornied at Chris- .
