which are apparently healthy and present no special Indncementa to the disease. Mount Vernon is a case in point, and in Louisiana, Missouri, a small village, frightful ravages are reported. A village in northern Alabama has been almost decimated. The disease has done but little harm in the cities. In Cincinnati there have been bat few esse*, and they were without exception, directly traceable to imprudence in earing and drinking. The anthorities there have furnished the particulars and have constantly kept the public Aware of the extent of the scourge. In St Louis and Chicago, however, they have been careful to conceal the truth, and the outside public is kept in total ignorance. It is not likely that this city will be troubled much now. The season is advancing so rapidly, and so far the disease has kept along the line of the rivers. Care should be used, however, in the diet, plain substantial food being the rule, and the mind should be kept as tranquil as possible. About half the people who get the cholera, get it through being afraid. There is an intimate connection between the bowels and the feel ing of fear. The ancients regarded the liver as the seat of fear, but periods of great excitement producing an intensity of fear demonstrate that they should have located it elsewhere. With a clear conscience and a well governed stomach, the cholera is not likely to be trouble-

Must be Trained. There has been another change of ministry in Spain, and there will probably be another to-morrow. There is sure to be one or more within a weak. A steady government is impossible. Any government that can make itself , felt is impossible. For the moment it begins to show force enough to move and do something, it becomes odious to more than it conciliates by the promise of action, and over it goes. Those who have sense enough to see what should be done, and force of patriotism enough to suffer the inconvenience of doing it, do not count one in five of the population, even of the intelligent population. There are a great many wt^p really feel devoted to their country, and would sacrifice property and life to secure its settlement under a good government. There are in all countries. But there are precious few who cad see that any government which stands, and protects life and property, and is easily accessible to amendment, is better than the best which won’t stand five days. Like the whole Latin race, like every nation held in intellectual dependence on a priesthood whose interest and ambition lie in the service and extension of a power outside of, and wholly separate from, its country—which, in truth has no country, no patriotism, no duty but to this ecclesiastical head—the Spanish are incapable of independent judgment and self-reliant action, and when called, by events, to the exercise of these qualities they are like a nation of Casper Hausers just let out of jail. No two can see the same object at the 8amedistance,or hear the same sound in the same direction, or work with the same motion. There are scores of factions w’hose dist inction is that the members are all lamed or weakened alike the same way. The especially bad eyes get together in one, the particularly defective ears in another, the strikingly feeble about the legs in a third, and the incapable back bones in a fourth. Each faction represents, not an idea but a weakness, an organic intellectual disease, resulting from a thonsand years of intellectual servility to an order that cared, and cares yet, there and everywhere, for nothing but its own power and the aggrandizement of the church. The tronble is that the Spanish like the Italians and the French, achieved by accident political independence with no intellectual independence. The political in is government was so abominable that they rose against it, with no preparation whatever for the condition that must follow. They were politically their own masters, but intellectually the slaves of the clergy. To be independent was to them as Childe Harold’s want of control was to him a “heritage of woe.” They didn’t know what to do with their coveted gift when they had it. The French were less helpless than the Spanish, because the tendency to reject religion altogether with the monstrosities of the Catholic church, gave them a certain narrowly diffhssd independence of mind, the work of Voltaire and Diderot, and the Encyclopedists. Freedom from intellectual slavery, even with infidelity, is a better conditioa lor man here and hereafter than subjection to a priesthood in every ’natter of thought, knowledge and fate. There is a far better chance to do something here and quite on good a chance for heaven hereafter. But the French were too recently emancipated, and their selfgovernment failed. They are learning slowly, now, and in another generation or two may be reasonably expected to maintain a popular government with some degree of steadiness. The Italians had some advantage even of the French, for they had the example of Piedmont v Sardinia) to instruct them, and Piedmont had, from before the days of the persecution of the Watdenses, been largely infected w ith a wholesome contempt for the Papacy. Since 1S21, and frequently before, this spirit of religious or intellectual independence had shown itself in assertions of popular rights and limitations of absolutism. Thus the people came to their work with something of the preparation and spirit of the English. Consequently they succeeded in making a very fair popular monarchy, and giving all Italians a nucleus to gather around. Bat the Spanish have no snch preparation.

biiiiy theaiha pfcople. Intellectual independence, except in individual cases, has never been known there, because there can be no independence of intellect with subjection to a religious domination. The people’s minds have been the slaves and tools of the priesthood) a most corrirpt Ond licentious priesthood, too, and we might as well expect a honse full of people suddenly cured of blindness to begin painting or surveying, as to expect the Spanish to deal rationally with matters of government’ It will take a generation or two to educate them out of tbe paralysis or enervation of mind created br ages of servility in all matters of thought and knowledge to a class of men phenomenally ignorant and abominally vile-.

HfBtrlonle Vanity. The vanity of artists, and especially of dramatic and lyric artists, sometimes takes a very amusing pose, and their critics seem to be tbe most suggestive moving power. A Parisian journalist once related that, having observed in his feuilleton that the performance of a popular actor in a certain farce was perfect, he was surprised by the appearance of the said actor in a state of burning indignation. “Didn’t you say in yesterday’s feuilleton,” exclaimed this sensitive being, “that I was perfect in that part? Did you not say so coldly, dryly, without a pleasant word for me?” One of the greatest singers of the day was mentioned as such by a certain journal, and duly went to thank the critic giving words to that flattering opinion. Having made his genial acknowledgments, the great basso went on to say, with a vanity perfectly naive: “You say I am one of the greatest singers of the day; pray, who are the ethers?” A Proposed Now Bos. |Los Angeles Express.) Isaac E. James, late Chief Engineer of the Trnckee and Virginia City Railroad, and brother of Registrar Alfred James, of this city, passed down on the Orizaba on his way to the bead of the Gulf of California, with a view of makingascientiflc exploration of the country between the golf and the southern extremity of the great basin, which is known to be far below the level of tide-water, for the purpose of Ascertaining the feasibility of turning the waters of the gulf into the basin. This basin or depression extends northward nearly or quite to the southern boundary of Utah, and the consummation of this project won Id result in the formation of a sea of perhaps not less than GOO miles in length, and would be productive of great climatic changes throughout a vast scope of country. Mr. James will commence his explorations ot the point of greatest depression on the line of the Texas Pacific Railroad, and will probably be absent about six weeks. Nos Lack bat Haaeetjr. A curious story comes to as from the Denison (Texas) News: A Mr. Jean A. Lane, of Sherman, was informed by Mr. Maxwell, the banker, that through a New York banking honse he was authorized to draw on a London house for almost any amount of money. Jean A. Lane protected that he knew nothing of the matter; that he was not aware any rich relative or other persons had placed to his credit in London any same of money, great or small. The Sherman banker informed him that he must be the man: that he knew him to be Jean A. Lane,. Whereupon Jean A- Lane, proceeded to draw in his own favor $10,00©, and in favor of his brothers and brothers-in-law, $90,000, making in all $40,000. The drafts were honored, and $40,000, in gold paid thereon. In a few days the real Jean A. Lane, writes from Galesburg, 111., saying that the money was intended for him. Jean A. Lane No 1 immediately started for Galeebtarg to meet No. 2, and turn over to him $40,000, which he had in his possession.

Brother Mlg«»u*s Dog. It was a great many years ago, at a campmeeting, says Max Adelcr, that Brother Higgins, a good man, but passionately fond of dogs, came m one day accompanied by a black-and-tan hound. Somebody asked him to address the congregation, and he mounted the stand for that purpose, while his dog sat down on his haunches immediately in front, looking at his master. In the midst of the diacdurse, which entertained us much, another dog came up. and, after a few sociable 'ffa at Brother Higgin’s dog, began to ex,v >e hind leg of the latter with his amine ^ - q y f or the purpose of ascer teeth, apjpareu* ^ An an i mat * d containing i fit was tei^ • the congregation test ensued, and one 0* f " ” came forward for the purpose. ot the animals. His efforts were n*.. A successful. He would snatch at the Higgin’s dog. but before he had got there th*. yellow dog would be on that side, and would probably take an incidental and cursory bite at the deacon’s hand. Brother Higgins paused in his discourse and watched the deacon. Then he exclaimed, “Spit in his eye, Brother Thompson; spit in the hound’s eye!” Brother Thompson did, and the fight ended. “But I just want to say,’ continued Mr. Higgins, “that outside of the sanctuary that dog of mine can eat up any salmon-colored animal in the 8tate and then chew up the bones of its ancestors for four generations, without turning a hair! You understand me?” The services proceeded.

A Nice Aaylum. A former lunatic of the Brattleboro, Vermont, Insane Asylum gives a graphic picture of hla experience of the “bathing” punish ment, in a letter to a Concord paper: They took me down into a basement, and led me through into a back hall, when Mr Coffin took me by the throat, and began to choke me. He, or all of them, got me down and dragged me into one of the narrow colls, and closed the door and choked me till I was unconscious. I suppose their intention wat to kill me, but I recovered when they let g< of me, and got np. They then toot me to i sink, stripped off my clothe*, and laid me on my back, and put a broomstick across my body, putting one end into a hole in the back of the sink, and pressed me down. They then held my head back and pat the faucet Into my mouth, holding on to my nose, and let tbe water on, whicn comes, as any om knows who is acquainted in that institution with fearful force. I knew it was all day with me then, and I drew in my breath a* hard as I could, filling my lungs, which are powerful ones. This saved me, but it hurt my head very cruelly, so that I did not get over it for three years. Conscience and Beans. The Lawrence Massachusetts paper relate* an appalling case of conscience.
