In the Advocate an advertisement issued by
tho joint committee of our City Council
and the Police Jury of West Baton Rouge
for an auction sale of the above lease to
take place at the Court Mouse in Baton

next.
Tho lessee will be required to furnish a
good and substantial steam ferry-boat, and

of three thousand dollars, or, in case the
bid bo over and above that sum, the bond
to be increased one-half over and above
said bid.
Tub Pavbmxnt #.— We recur to this sub

» few of our citizens have been waking up
of lute to the importance of putting their
eiflowslks in repair, and have made some
very essential improvements to the same.
We trust these examples may be followed
by other* who msy find it in their power
to do likewise and thus subserve their own
und the public interests.

yy The German Punch, edited in Berlin,
publishes a coat of arms, drawn for Presi
dent Johnson. Itoonsists in u pair of open
eeissors; between the lower partis » tailor's
goose, and between the upper parts a thim
ble, surrounded by ball!, of thread instead
of cannon balle. And in the places of
Hags and flagstaff's, the scissors are sur
rounded with yardsticks, on which are
hanging coat# and pantaloons. The wholo
Test» on a platform,decorated with Amer
jcaa drapery and a shield, bearing tho mot
to: "I shall mend the torn Union." The
device is a great compliment to equality,
and a snub on the armorial ensigns of ret
rogressive and useless nobility.
Cholera and II b Treatment,
Tbe Asiatic cholera iu its most
malignant form, 1ms been raging will)
great force in Kgypt, Turkey, Malta,
and in the South of Spain and France.
The latest accounts from the old
world, however, state the disease to
he disappearing in Oonstuntinople,
(rihraltar, Barcelona and Valle^ttl.
It has made its appearance at Mar
seilles, producing a panic which had
extended as far as the English çit'ms,
end another account states that the
disease has appeared in London.
The insidious approach of this epi
demical visitant, seems to mock at
all preventive measures of the quar
antine hoard or health police, and
skips, hops and jumps along over
seas and countries, dotting certain
islands and places with its imprints
of "Black Death," and strangely
leaving intact other spots and regions
along the immediate lines ftf its trav
elings. Sanitary regulations may
and do serve to stay its ravages, but
frequently uot before it has reaped
its hecatombs of victims. In London,
Paris, Vienna and other cities in Eu
rope, and in some of our cities, also,
during its terrible campaigns in IKJÜ
and later years, it war* known, in
various instances, to confine its rav
ages principally to the single side of
a street, whereas on the opposite side
the inhabitants would enjoy compara
tive immunity from its attacks.
After it had ceased as a general
epidemic iu the United States, it
appeared to linger as a fixture in cer
tain localities, as for instance, in the
Ited Hiver country where it assumed
the character of an ordinary endemic;
and for many years it existed in a
sporadic form, in different other sec
tions of the country. Limestone re
gions, particularly, suffered more in
tensely than any others, irom chol
eraic diseases, during the epidemical
periods. Medical writers and practi
tioners attributed the cause to the
water of those peculiar localities—a
theory which was borne out by prac
tical observation. Wherever lime
stone water was in common use for
drinking purposes, it seemed to create
a superinducing tendency to the dis
ease, while on the other band, where
the water drank was of a freestone
nature, the disease rarely, if' ever,
prevailed.
We believe it is laid down as an
almost infallible principle by medical
authorities, that, cholera in its first
stage can always be successfully
treated, unless the system is weak
ened by other diseases, by dissipa
tion, or some other special cause.
The remedies proposed and tried, in
the incipient and more aggravated
stages of the malady, have hi«en as
numerous as the localities in which
it has prevailed, the theories which
are entertained respecting its nature
and treatment, or »lie practitioners
who have attempted its cure. For
tunes have been realized by nostrum
venders, whose preparations an; ea
gçrly caught, at by a credulous and
panic-stricken people at times when
the "pestilence that walkcth at noon
day" is stalking over tbe world in
its "seven-leagued boots," mowing
down all whom it seeks to devour
with remorseless violence. A tew of
these preparations were used with
good effect, and were considered, by
numbers of tho faculty themselves,
as worthy of' legitimate rank in the
list of specifics.
The Constantinople correspondent
of the New York Tribune indicates
the following formula as the most
successful for the treatment of cholera
which has been tried in that city :
The Kov. Dr. Hamlin's Cholors Mixture,
equal parts by weight of liquid laudanum,
spirit» of camphor and tincture of rhubarb,
has been used here, not only by him, but
by many others, with the greatest success,
in meeting the first stages of tho diseaso.
If diarrhea is kept off by tbe ase of the
mixture, the danger of cholera is very
slight.
In the second stages of relapse and
cramps, clear brandy taken internally,
mustard plasters and other means of keep
iug up external heat by friction, etc., are
very often need with success. Thoro is
always hope in cholera until the patient is
actually dead, and in sevore cases recovery
often depends upon tho persistency ana
energy with which tho disease is met and
attended at every stage.
But tho most unique specimen of
a prescription we have met with
among the many which have been
made public, is that contained in the
following note addressed to the edi
tor of the St. Louis Republican :
A flinte FOB CHOLERA.
Mr. Mitor— Having discovered, as 1
think, about, fifteen years ago, a new end
certain cure for cholera, and seoing from
the newspapers that this terrible scourj;« is
again approaching rapidly te our shores, 1
now communicate it to your widely circu
lated pspef, in order that by being corned
it may bo known and tried over tho whole
earth. The remedy is this :
Ou the first, appearance of tho cholera, or
while the pulse is perceptible, apply to the
stomach tbe fresh blood of animals, or fresh
meat, such as tbe meat of mutton, beef,
bogs, venison, chickens, or other domestic
animals or fowls. The blood to bejapplied
by saturating rags in it and then applying
to the stomach In applying fresh meat,
two pounds or more should be used. One
chicken is sufficient, and the bones should
be masiiad Up so as not to stick the body.
This remedy is also good for ntiy dysen
tery or bowel complaint/
I shall not enter into any explanation of
tho theory upon which this remedy de
pends (though I havo one) but submit the
cure to tho investigation of mankind, ei
ther in connection with other remedies or
alone. I havo tried it when the cholera
visited this country before, and am satis
fied that it, is tbe beet, that has yet been
disoovered. 1 am now 82 years of ago,
and desire before 1 die to see this remedy
fully tested. In 1855 I cauttod »circular to
be printed announcing my discovery, and
sent it to some of the most loarned and in
fluential men in tins aud in other countries,
but the absonce of tho oholoru during the
intervening period has prevented its trial -
Wo uro about to have abundant opportu
nity of testing its value. Î call upon phy
sicians everywhere to test my discovery,
and to t.hia end roquest all newspapers and
journals to give it publicity. Aua should
the remedy be successful when tried, I re
quest that I may be notified by letter. It.
It. will give unbounded jov to my old
heart, and lay the basis of a claim against
tho mon of this and other countries for
some sort of compensation commensurate
with the value of tbe discovery.

The following curious article is taken
from sn English newspaper of the year
1774, and is there called : «
THE I'FR PKTCAÎ, A 1. M AN AO, ff* SOLDIER'S
PJRAYE1Î-F.OOK-— BT UICHABl) LANS.
A Private >%Wier Belonging In the Forty
<S'ennui Hegim-ent, who wa$ taken before the
Mayor of Glasgow fur Playing at Omit
during IKtûw Setvice.
The sergeant commanded the soldiers to
church, and when tbe parson read the
prayers be took his text. Those wbo had
s Bible took it out; but this soldier had
neither a Bible nor Common Prnyer-Book;
but pulling out a pock of cards he spread
them oui beforo him. He first, looked at
one card and then at the other. The
sergeant of the company saw him and
said :
"Kichnrd, put tip them cards; this is no
place for them."
"Never mind that," said Richard.
When tbe service was over, the consta
ble took lïichrtrd prisoner, and brought
him before tbe Mayor.
"Well," says the MayoT,"whathave you
brought that soldier here for !"
"For playing cards iu church."
"Well, soldier, what have you to say for
yourself ?"
"Much, sir. I hope."
"Very good; if not 1 will punish you
rooro tb m î man was ever punished."
"1 hiue been," said the soldier, "about
six weeks on the march; I have neither
Bible nor Common Prayer-Book; I have
nothing but, a pock of cards, and 1 hope to
satisfy your worship of tbe purity of my
intention."
"Very good," said tbe Mayor.
Then spreading tho cards before the
Mayor, he began with the ace :
"When I see tho m ce, it. reminds me
there is but one (rod.
"When I see the deuce, it reminds mo of
F a t. Ii m and Son.
"When I see the trey, it reminds me of
Father, Son and Holy tihost.
"When 1 see the four, it. reminds me ef
the four Kvangelists that preached, viz:
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
"Whon 1 see the fivo, it. reminds me of
the fivo wise virgins that trimmed their
lamps. There were ten, but five were
fools, and were shut, out.
"When I see the six, it. reminds rae
that in six days tho Lord made Heaven
and earth.
"Wheu I see the seven, it reminds me
that ou tho seventh day God rested from
the works He made; aud hallowed it.
"When I see the eight, it reminds nie of
tho eight righteous persons that were
saved when (»od drowned tbe world, viz :
Noab and bis wife, bis threo sons and
their wives.
"'When f seo tho nine, it reminds me of
tbe nine lepers that wore cleansed by our
Bavior. Tfaero were ten, but nine never
returned thanks.
"When I soe the ten, it reminds me
of the Ten Commandments which God
handed down to Moses on a table of
stone.
"When I see tbe king, it rominds me of
the Groat King of Heaven which is God
Almighty.
"When I see the queen, it reminds ma
of the <4uoon of Sheba, who went to hear
the wisdom of Solomon; for she was as
wise a woman as ha was a man. She
brought with hot - fifty boys and fifty girls,
all dressod in boys' apparel, for King Solo
mon to tell which were girlB. King Solo
mon sent for water for them to wash them
selves; the girls washed to the elbows, and
tbe boys only to tho wrists— so King Solo
mon told by this."
"Well," said tho Mayor, "you have
given a description of all the cards in the
pack except on»."
"Whioh is that?" said tbe soldier.
"The knave," said the Mayor,
"I will give yonr honor a description of
that, too, if you will not be angry."
"I will not," said the Mayor, "if you
will not term me to be a knave."
"Well," said the soldier, "the greatest,
knave I know is the constable that brought
me hero."
"I do not know," said the Mayor,
"whether he is the greatest knave; bnt I
know he is tho greatest fool."
"When I count how many spots in a
pack, 1 find three bnndrod and sixty-five—
as many days as thoro are in the year.
"When I count the number of cards in a
pack, 1 find there aro fifty-two— ta many
weeks as there are in a year. And I find
four suits—*ho number of weeks in a
month.
"I find there are twelve picture cards in
a pack, representing the number of months
in the year; and on counting the tricks, I
find thirteen—the number of week» In a
quarter. 8o you see, sir, the pack of card*
serves for a Bible, Almanac, and Common
Prayer-Book to roe. 1 '
