Wasmcrox, June 28th, 1873.

The “Board Of .Public Works” keeps

things lively in . Washington, despite
the Congressional recess. They have done
wonders in the way 0f parking, grading,
setting trees, and the like, and if the money
holds out, will no doubt make Washington
one of the most. attractive and beautiful
cities on the globe. The two squares, north
and south of the capitol, have been cleared
of buildings since the adjournment, and the
grading, preparatory to being thrown into
the Capitol grounds as per act of Congress,
has commenced. First street, at the eastern
end of the Capitol park, is being cut down
eight feet so’that the eastern portion of the
Capitol shall form the apex of the hill, and
the grounds recede on all sides from the
Capitol building. This, we think, isa grave
mistake,.for in a few years a new govern.
ment building, if not a new Capitol, will
have to be erected on these grounds, and
the present formation is precisely what
would be the best when this end of the
present park is so utilized. The) project is
alrgady freely discussed (and by many it is
thought will be carried through the coming
session,) of extending the grounds up to
Second street. uph, no 'doubt, would be
the part of What)!!! and economy. There
are at present no considerable improve-
ments, nor is the land half so valuable now
as it must become in a very few years.
Even with this enlargement, the grounds
about the Nation’s Capitol will then be
more cramped, and the approaches less pre-
tentious than any provincial citizen sur-
rounds a ﬁfty thousand dollar mansion.
Congress ought to have reverence enough
for the aspirations of President Washlng-
ten, and faith enough in the might and maj-
esty of the American nation to make the
surroundings of the Capitol worthy of the
structure. The Capitol park ought to ex-
tend to the Tiber on the west, and . follow
nature’s topography of the Capitolian Hill
around to the Baltimore depot on the north,
and to an equal extent south,and thence to
Second street on the cast. This would give
same resemblance of magniﬁcence to the
nation’s pinched up Capitol.‘ The people,
too, would most heartily approve this tri-
ﬂing outlay. ‘

Matters about the capitol document rooms
are also intensely brisk. The struggle to
get all the “pub. docs.” off before the even-
ing of the 30th and the thermometer at 97°
in the capitol basement, gives one participa-
ting a practical experience of the “dissolving
mood.” . : ; . ,

The Postmaster General has decided that
all pub. docs. got into the .mails prior to
July 1st, are to be transmitted and delivered
free, no matter how remote may be the day
of their reaching their destination. _

In response to our own personal applica-
tion, the department decides that subscribers
to newspapers who desire to have them

dropped into their local post oﬂice to be
simply handed out on call, can, do so upon
the payment of the same postage as would
be chargable if transmitted through the
mails. Thus the many subscribers to the
GAzm'rE who reside about the village and
have their paper dropped into their post
ofﬁce boxes, will have to pay ﬁve cents per
quarter for the service. All transient papers
so dropped will be charged one penny each.

A local paper here gives the information
that alltheirheavier packages will be sent
by express, as it is going to icost them less
than to amx stamps. This reminds us of
ﬁnancial wisdow of the Hibernian, who,
upon the reduction of the postal rate from
ﬁve to' three cents, admonished his son to
'fsind his ould father a letther every day,
for du yees see, I'll be makin’ tuppence on
evry letther I get from yees.”

Quite a ripple of excitement was causeds
by the rumor that the President was coming
over from Long Branch with Tom Murphy,
to turn out Richardson, and put ex-Senator
Morgan at the head of our ﬁnances. The
absurdity of the rumor was apparent to all
who remembered that Mr. Fish was still in
the cabinet . and from the Empire State.
Then the story was revamped to the effect
that the President desired Gov. Jews“ to
relinquish his frigid mission and go into the
treasury, and that Richardson would .be
tendered Jay’s place, at Vienna. It seemed
to be conceded on all hands that the Presi-
dent might do a much worse thing for the
business interests ' of the country than
placing Marshall Jewell at the head of our
ﬁnancial bureau. . . ' .

Executive Secretary Sniﬁln, (whoaeggaa
rents reside at:_'1‘mmbul_], iri- our'Sth’fé.) was
suddenly seized with a congestive chill.
yesterday, and very serious apprehensions
were felt as to his condition.

We chanced to meet the Rev. Mr. Jackson,
(brother of Alfred and LeGrand Jackson, of

_ Norwalk) who gave us an interesting ac-
count of some cases of spasmodic cholera he
had witnessedhere within the past few days.
He says in every case it was brought on by
improper diet. There have been. several
well deﬁned cases, and considerable un-
easiness is felt as to what may be the extent
of the visitation, though nothing like an epi-

' demic or contagious form has yet developed

itself. . ,

The city authorities are cleaning out some
of the ﬁlthy shanties, and disinfecting the
case pools and sewers. The Board ofHealth
has also issued instructions for better sani-
tary conditions. An eminent physician,
new out of practice, furnishes the Starwith

a curative formula, in case of an attack from

cholera, which is so practical that we scissor

it out for a place in the GAZETTE :—
rnn maximum- or cnomks.

Editor of the Evening Star :- Will you per-.
mit one, who has had some experience in
the treatment of cholera, to say a“ word to
your readers, at this time, when our" city is
threatened with it. Let it be premised that
the writer _-had once almost sole charge of a
hospital, where. at one time tw_6,il_lundred
men were in the various stageshof pure
Asiatic cholera. Also, let it bearers. stated,
that he is now out ,of the~'practip,c’jof medi-
cine, and therefore has no private axe to
grind in volunteering advice on‘ thansubject.

' A law PEACTICAL’HINTSJ : .

lst. Strive to keep a calm;mind.::-In nine
cases out of ten, if taken ingits ﬁrst stages of
diarrhma or cramp, or even ~V0mltlng‘,
cholera, may ' be cured. IfAthe person has
been in previous good health, we might add
in ninety-nine out of a hundred. ' .

2d. Do not go- to dosing yourself with
brandy, whisky, and such liketo keep it off.
Cholera is really an inﬂammatory state of
the stomach and bowels, and you are only
putting-in them fuel ready to light when the
cholera comes. -

3d. Do not alter yobr ordinary diet.

Some people begin to eschew all fruit and
vegetables, when cholera comes, or starve
themselves by a scanty diet. Such will
soon run into the very net they would shun.
We need hull and vegetables to keep the
bowels open, for constipation is just as
bad as uiarrhosa, in preparing the system for
cholera. Only be careful to avoid stale and
unripe fruit or vegetables. The writer ate
peaches, plums and grapes, while he was
going night and. day attending cholera pa-
tients, (of course in moderation,) and never
had the ﬁrst symptoms of cholera.

4th, Be very careful to keep your houses
well ventilated, especially your sleeping and
eating apartments, and use disinfectants
liberally about your cellars, privies or water
closets. *

. 5th. Do not listen to any one who fright-
ens you with the idea. that cholera is con.
tagious. It is epidemic, but not contagious.
I would as little fear to sit by the side of a
cholera patient as by the side of one alfected
with rheumatism. .

" 6th. Do not, on the ﬁrst symptoms of
cholera, dose yourself with any of the hun-
di-‘ed so—called cholera speciﬁcs,but lie down,

keep. as quiet as pqssrble, and send for some
res ectable physrcran. .
, f it be not trenching on the prerogatives
of the many able meniwho are in the prac
tice or medicine in our city, may I be per-
mitted to add that, alter a fair trial of

whom I we associated in a fearful epidemic
Of cholera ' 'ch raged in Columbia, Pm,
September,1854, came to the conclusron that
the true treatment was not that which aimed

tics, with the best results. .We found that
We could more easily check theexcessive
vomiting and purging than we could pre-
vent (what afterwards was the result of
rapid suppression) congestion of the brain,
lungs and heart. If the writer to-day was
attacked with cholera,he would use calomcl
combined with opium,in frequently repeated
and small doses. until it showed its effect on
the secretions of the stomach and bowels.
But we_ do not want to be understood as
prescribing for our doctors, as they are more
able to do it themselves. But for the “few
practical hints” given above We claim the
authority of . Exrnnmucn. ‘

Mr. Jackson informed us that in all the

cases he saw, the skin turned to purple and
the muscles of the body became knotted and

contracted, the same as . in real Asiatic

cholera. In one instance' the subject’s feet
twisted directly hind-side-before.

Mr. Jackson contemplates spending his
vacation in Norwalk and vicinity, and will
arrive here next week. _

Tom' Scott sends his ﬁrst through train

THE =GLOBIOUS IOUBTHc

On Friday we celebrate the Fourth, of
July. “Celebrate,” we say from force of
habit, and from the patriotic conviction that

in some way or other every free and inde-Z
pendent American citizen will celebrate the

day, even though he roll upon the carpet,

loll under the shade tree, or with ﬁzzing ﬁre

cracker and ginger p'op, “make a day of it.”

To the boys ,its advent is most important.

They realize the momentious fact that On

“the day we celebrate,” the ﬂags must go

up, while the paternal, ancester “must come

dowh” with funds enough for a proper ob-
servance of the occasion: On no other- day
of the year can they so unrestrained handle
the family Derringer, or blow each other up
with powder, and split ﬁngers and‘pnt eyes
outwith toy cannon. Many buildings .will
be furnished for bonﬁres, and the illumina-
tions will give eclat to the occasion. The
frightening of horses with villainous crack-
ers, and the smashing of heads and vehicles
will afford no end of amusement. Go it
boys, for it comes but once a year, and if
the fathers neglect to publicly observe the
day, it is welt that childhood should hold it
in due remembrance. And all jocularity
aside, who shall say that the children‘alo
not, in fact, have a truer appreciation of the
blessings the observance of our national
holiday is intended to‘ commemorate, than
we of the larger growth 7 Do not the hurry

Fraternal meetings were interchanged
between the Lutherans and ‘ongreg'ation-
alists at. the recent Synod f' the iformer
body in Canton,Ohio, which seem to have
been more than formal expressions of .
brotherly love. There was vital warmth
and genuine feeling in - the-addresses.-' Rev:
Hastings Ross represented the ‘National
Council of the Congregational churches in a '
very happy speec , to which Rev. Dr.
Baum, President of the Synod, replied as
heartily. Theoccasion also. brought out
Dr. Conrad with a fact Or two which will
be new to many. He said that when,
twenty years ago, a struggle {was made to
eyblish'Wittenberg College, “we Lutherans
w nt to New England, to these Congrega-
tionalists, to see what they woulddo for us.
I was sent. .1 presented the claims of the
College before the Western College Society
at Norwalk, Conn, composed mainly of
Congregationalists, and they gave me ﬁve
thousand dollars, which supported Dr.
Sprecher for'ﬁve years, during which our
endowment efforts were, continued. No
investment of the Congregational Church
ever- prodnced results more the occasion of
joy and thankfulness than these ﬁve thou-
sand dollars, as even the present occasion
testiﬁcs.” That donation'was subsequently
repeated; ‘ " '

Enrrons Gaznrrn :—.How does the ther-
mometer stand with you to-day in your hot

and dusty townf Yes, dust* enough, but
for the incstimablc “ Writer orks," but of

course vastly. mitigated, where “Silver
Mine” is permitted to pour her silver stream
on your thirsty door-yards andpublic ways.
But how about the weather 2 I simply ask
the question that I may tell you how de-
lightfully cool and pleasant itjis here, where
1 am allowed to pause a little in life’s hur-
ried journey and refresh myself. I have
just returned to this, elegant -“ Fenwick
Hall" from awalk, and a ramble on the
Sound shore, where I found it perfectly com.
fortable in the sun at‘ mid-day. And now I
am none too warm, sitting in my room with
all the windows closed. It scarcely seems
possible that a ride :of two and one-half
hours from Norwalk could bring you to
such a place of rest and comfort; yet such
is the fact. “Fenwick Hall,” as you, Mr.
Editor, very well know, is located at the
mouth 'of the‘Connecticut River, on Old
Saybrook Point, commanding an extensive
view of Long Island Sound, and almost
completely surrounded with water. The
building is spacious and elegant; rooms
large and airy, well furnished, and all with
a charming out-look. The host, Mr. Rood, is

tentive, the table, bountiful. The veranda,
which is four hundred feet long and 15 feet
wide, aﬁ‘ords one of, the 'mostldelightful
promenades imaginable. The company own
250 acres of land, upon which several beau-
tiful cottages are located, beside the hotel
build' .' The Connecticut ValleyR. R.
de located upon this ground, and this
company run their cars here expressly to
accommodate guests. We have here sever-
al essentials w 'ch may go far to determine
achoice in a s Lside location. First—all
that you can ask‘ in .a Hotel building; sec-
ond—room, airyness, plenty of pure, fresh
air and sun-light, Here you can really have
and enjoys. sun, as well asa water-bath.
The sea-breeze tones you up so ﬁnely that
the sun does not “ smite'you by day.” You
really enjoy it, and how valuable it is to,
the invalid your physician can tell you.
Cool nights, good beds, and restful sleep!
Only think of itl- “Tired nature's sweet
restorer, balmy sleep," comes to ‘you so
kindly, so restfully!

If there be a tired and care-worn spirit
that is' thinking where to go for rest, let me
say, “Take the morning express, and the
Shore Line from New Haven to Saybrook
Junction, and then the Conn. Valley cars t3
‘ Fenwick.’ Come at Once. ‘ Stand not up-
on the order of your coming,’ only bring
friends enough to pay your way, and as
many of, your sick and tired friends as you
can. and rest. ‘ ‘

* 1 am so delighted with the place that I
can easily seem to be extravagant. Nature
is kind and genial here. The steamC-lun-

Centaur Liniment.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lini-_
ment will-not relieve, no swelling it will
not subdue, and no lameness which it will
not cure. This is strong language, but it is
true. Where .the parts are not gone, its
elfccts are marvelous. It has produced

jaw, palsy, sprainshswellings, cakedbreasts,
"scalds; burns, ; salt-Trlieu‘tn, ear-ache, &c.',
upon theihuma'n frame, and of strains,
sphvil‘l,"galls, doc}, upon animals in one
year than have all other “pretended remedies
since the worldbegan. .It is a- counter-
irritant,an all-healingipain reliever. Crip-
pies throw away their crutches, the lame
walk, poisonous bites are rendered harm-
less and the wounded armheaied without a
scar,_.It is no humbug. .Thc receipe is
, ,gbllﬁhbd around each bottle. It is selling
Sandal-time ever before sold, and it sells
because it, does just what it pretends to do.
Those who now suffer from rheumatism,
pain or swelling deserve to suffer if they
will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certiﬁcates of_remarkable cures, includ-
ing frozen limbs, chronic-rheumatism, gout,
running tumors, &c., have been received.
We will send a circular containing certiﬁ-
cates, the recipe, &c., gratis, to any one re-
questing it. ’ One bottle of the yellow wrap-
per Centaur Liniment, is worth one hun-
dred dollars for spavined or sween’ied
horses and mules, or for screw-worm in
sheep. Stock-owners—this liniment is
worth your attention. No family should be
without Centaur Liniment. J. B. Ross. &
