Tlic Cholera Outlook In the West.
There can be no doubt that the fatal
field of cholera in the West is widen
ing, and the malignity of the epidemic
is more aggravated. The new disease
maps of the census report seem to show
that the month of August is the harvest
month for this great death reaper; and
the fact may account for the increasing
ravages of the terrible Asiatic scourge.
There is, therefore, additional and
potent reason for the sternest vigilance
at this time in our metropolis, which
has thus far wonderfully escaped, and
which, by unsparing sanitary precau
tion, may pass this critical month un
scathed by the dreaded plague.
The new census report shows that
the distribution of cholera in the State
of New York has heretofore been about
ten per cent, for June, thirty-two per
cent, for July and August, after which
month the average is ten per cent, for
September.
These are the percentages for the
male population, which is, it appears,
nearly twice as much exposed to attack
ns the female; but the distribution of
the disease by months is nearly the
same for both classes of population.
These figures, deduced from our own
last census data, corroborate the admir
able paper of Dr. Pettenkofer, the cele
brated Munich physician, furnished
the Ilerakl through its Munich corres
pondent, and recently published in
those columns.
Tl.o niQCAni„r m... reuenkoier is
very powerful in favor of the view that
the seasonal influence is connected, in
all probability, with the climate, tem
perature and rainfall. The cholera sta
tistics of Prussia from 1848 to I860
prove that in North Germany this in
fluence is undeniable, since the mortal
ity for August and September is by far
the largest item in the terrific total.
Dr. Pettenkofer thinks that the dry
ness of the summer is favorable to the
spread of the epidemic, and cites two
instances in the history of Munich—
viz., the cholera seasons of 1S36 and
1854. These are widely separated
dates.
Had the cholera appeared in two con
secutive dry seasons it would be more
philosophical to suppose that they just
ified the view of the Munich scientist.
But it must be noticed that the native
home of the cholera lies in the Gangetic
Valley, a region steaming and saturated
with moisture—indeed, a region whose
most marked climatic feature is an ex
cessive, absolute humidity. The effect
of water in decomposing the offensive
matter of large cities, both animal and
vegetable, is well known, and, ccctcris
paribus, it would seem more reasonable
to expect greater immunity from the
cholera during a summer of ordinary
and not excessive rainfall.
The rainfall statistics for July will
probably show that the experience of
diil'erent sections of this country is very
checkered. There has been an excess
along the Alleghanies and in the North
west, but it would appear to have been
otherwise on the immediate coast and
seaboard of the Middle States and in
the S outhwest.
The reports of rainfall that have been
published would, therefore, according
to Dr. Pettenkofer’s view, look favorable
for us as showing conditions unfavora
ble for the spread of the cholera in the
belt which intervenes between the Mid
dle States and the afflicted West. But
every such consideration should be
made absolutely subordinate to the
supreme duty of exhaustive sanitary
precaution.
When we reflect on the fearful deci
mation by the disease, even in healthy
countries, as England, where, according
to the Registrar General’s report, in
1848-49 it carried off 53,000 persons,
we cannot be too inexorable or too im
perative in our demands for such un
sparing and exhaustive sanitary meas
ures as will, at any rate for a time, keep
the great enemy at bay.
If we can safely pass August without
an epidemic, the prospect of final es
cape will be much brighter.—New York
Herald, loth.
A Startling Discrepancy.
A perplexing discrepancy has been
discovered in the ofhcial statement
published of the amount of gold in the
Treasury on June 30, 1873. It appears
that on that date the Secretary’s report
of the condition of the national finances
represented the amount of gold on hand
as 887,507,402.
■ It has leaked out that the actual
amount was but 871,409,230, making a
deficit of 810,407,442. This discovery
has created considerable excitement in
financial and official circles.
There are but four persons in the de
partment who are allowed to know
what the actual amount of coin on hand
is. An investigation is now making to
discover how this secret got out.
Here we have a reassuring evidence
of national book-keeping. Ten millions
in gold missing from the Treasury
vaults, and the Secretary representing
it in his possession.
Cork-tutting fu Spain.
The cork-tree is found in its wild
state, in the south of Portugal, Africa,
and Spain. In the country, the prepar
ation of the bark for foreign markets is
one of the staple industries, furnishing
labor and subsistance to a large propor
tion of the population.
The tree is a peculiar kind of oak,
and the cork is the soft, cellular interior
bark, lying just inside the exterior
woody covering. It is removed by
making several longitudinal clefts up
and down the trunk, and then girdling
the latter with horizontal incisions.
This operation is not performed,
however, until the tree has attained a
certain age (generally fifteen years), and
the first crop is employed only for in
ferior purposes. Seven years afterward,
the tree will have another coating of
bark, which is stripped and used for
making corks; and so on, every five to
seven years, according to the quality
of the ground.
The tree does not suffer from the pro
cess of scraping, as it generally lives
from one to two hundred years.
Between the cork and the tree there
is another hark, that is used for tan
ning ; but this is only removed when
the tree is cut down. It is a curious
fact; that if any portion of this inner
coating he destroyed, further formation
of the cork on the injured spot ceases.
After the layers of the cork are stripped,
they are inspected and assorted, accord
ing to their sizes and quality—those of
the finest texture being o f the greatest
value. The inferior portions are gen
erally sorted out, tneir crust burnt off,
and sold mostly for floats—thus receiv
ing the name fishing cork.
The better qualities are first boiled
and scraped, and then blackened over
a coal fire; the object being to make
the surface smooth, and at the same
time conceal flaws. Some varieties
(generally the best) are faced, in order
to exhibit the fineness of their texture.
After being forwarded to the ware
houses, the largest slabs are cut into
pieces of about three and a half feet
in length, eighteen inches; fin width
and ranging from one half-inch to
three inches in thickness. Drying and
packing in bales, weighing one hundred
and fifty pounds each; follows, and the
cork is ready for exportation.
From five to twenty-'five cents per
pound is the usual price paid by the
cork-cutter in this country, for the
material as it arrives in the. bale. It
then undergeos another assorting, and
a thorough steaming, in a chest design
ed for that purpose—the latter process
softening the cork, and rendering it
easy to cut.
To divide the substance, special ma
chinery is employed. Rapidly-Tevolv-
ing circular knives are used, which cut
by drawing motion, as crushing strokes
simply break the cork, or cause it to
crumble.
The workman, sitting in front of the
machine, places a piece of cork of suit
able size in revolving spindle, by which
it is held. The spindle is raised a
measured distance, and edges of cork
come in contact; with the rotating
knife, which smooths them off, arid
its work in a perfect cylindrical leaves
form.
Another method is, to place the rough
bits of corks in grooves on the circum
ference of a wheel which, working
automatically, carries each peace to a
point where its ends are received by a
small lathe. The cork is then revolv
ing slowly, while a large circular knife
removes a thin shaving—thus giving it
the necessary taper, and a surface as
true and smooth as if sand-papered.
As fast as a cork is finished by the
automatic lathe, it is released, and an
other substituted in its place.
. Every portion of the material is util
ized, either as stuffings for cushions or
life preservers, or as a non-conducting
substance for placing between walls or
floors of buildings to deaden sound.
It has been estimated, that it would
require 4,000 men to be continally at
work to supply New York alone with
corks, if all had to be made by hand.
There are at present, sixty manufac
tories in the United States, cutting and
supplying corks to the value of $2,500,-
000 per year.—Scientific American..
A wise man in the East, that is, in
Springfield, Mass., says that if you wish
to determine whether your watch keeps
correct time or not, you should select
any given star from the comer of a
window-sash, or through an}' small
hole, and note the precise instant at
which the star disappears behind a
chimney, or other stationary object
within a short distance. If from the
same stand-point the same star disap
pears earlier by three minutes and fif
ty-six seconds the next night, and by
seven minutes and fifty-two seconds
the third night, the watch is right to the
half of a second.
Twenty Negro lynchers Arrested — Two
Brothers Drowned.
Twenty negroes, charged with Klu-
kluxing W. H. Wyatt, in Madison coun
ty, Tenn., as reported in the dispatch
es, have been arrested by the citizens
and carried to Jackson, and all admit
ted to bail in $500 each, except Joe
Rice, Monroe Etheridge, Nathan Fair
and Charles Reed, who were committed
without bail.
The lynching of Wyatt was a most
brutal affair. The story of his having
outraged an old negro woman is indig-
natly denied by the woman herself.
Two sons of David Kendall, a high
ly respected citizen of Henry county,
aged 18 and 22, were drowned in West
Sandy, last Saturday, while bathing.
One who could not swim got in deep
water, and his brother in attempting to
save him was clutched in his arms and
carried down. The third brother, in
attempting to save them, narrowly es
caped the same fate.
The Misfortunes of France.
General Ambert has published a his
tory of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-
1871. It is modestly and ably written.
The writer was also an actor in the
scenes described. General Ambert,
however, has not hesitated to write
what he believes to be the truth, regard
less of political susceptibilities which
he may offend.
He traces defeat of France to causes
far back. France had repeatd warn
ings, and on the eve of the Prussian
war, she had had her Cassandra, whose
utterance was unheeded, in Baron
Stofiel.
As early as 1774 the Comte de Muy
presented a memoir upon foreign pow
ers to Louis XVI., in which he re
marked that since the peace concluded
at Utrecht, Prussia has transformed
herself into a purely military power.
She has put on foot, in spite of her feeble
population, almost as many troops as
the first potentates of Europe, “but
better disciplined and commanded.”
This was the commencement of her
present vast army.
All the subjects of Prussia were
classified, in order that the large pro
portion of one-third might be taken for
military service, and the rest of the
army recruited from foreigners, where
ever they could he obtained. Both
countries boasted of their military ex
ploits—Frederick tho Great offsetting
Napoleon Bonaparte.
Prussia had enthusiasm for her hero
to consolidate her military power, omit
ting Tin monno kWww,
her laurels, in the belief that she was in
vincible. The one had been preparing
for victory and the other for defeat, for
forty years.

Dyspepsia.—Dr. Dio Lewis gives the
following cure for dyspepsia: “ Have a
right good talk, with a funny anecdote
or two, and half a dozen hearty laughs
with each meal. This eating alone at
a restaurant, and shoveling in the
provender in solemn silence will give
dyspepsia to an ostrich and create a
feeling of despondency in the stomach
of a quartz mill.”
A wealthy capitalist of the Seven
teenth ward, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
has made a donation of six hundred
acres of land in Scott county, Tennes
see, toward the erection of a Presbyte
rian church in that ward, on condition
that the name of the donor shall not
hb made public, or in any manner re
ferred to. This land contains inex
haustible quantities of iron ore and
stone coal, and in additional a rich
vein of silver ore has been discovered,
which is in process of development by
a mining company.
This notable episode in Agassiz's ad
dress of dedication at Penekese Island
the other day .strikes the Christian
Union as worthy of being perpetuated
upon canvas by sonic great artist. After
a few opening words, felicitously suited
to put all their minds into fellowship,
Agassiz said, tenderly, and with touch
ing frankness:'
‘U think we have need of help. I do
no feel thatFean call on any one here
tu ask a blessing for us. I know
would not have anybody pray for us at
this moment. I ask you for a moment
to pray for yourselves.”
Upon this the great scientist—in an
age in which so many other great sci
entists have concluded that prayinj
quite an unscientific and very useless
proceeding—bowed his head reverent
ly; his pupils and friends did the
same; and there in a silence that was
very solemn and very beautiful, each
spirit was free to crave of the Great
Spirit the blessing that was needed.
