Lovnox , August 1(5. ( [ New Yoik Herald
Cubic Spccltil to Tun Bci : . ] In view of the
uproot ! of Asiatic cholcia In certain parts of
Hurope , I called the other day on Dr. Nor
man Ken , F. L. S. , the well known Ung'isli '
authority on the tcnlblo disease , having had
cholcia himself nnd having wiitton exten
sively on the subject. Dr. Kcrr Is well quid-
fled to give sound practical advice. "Lot ino
entreat jou , " ho begun , "lo caution your
readers in cveiy visitation of cholera against
two things panic and alcohol. Many people
have died of cholcia who , humanely speak
ing , hml no business to have It , but vvcreat-
lacknl simply because they vveio afraid of
Inking it. As icgnuts alcohol , it Is not only
n potent provocative of cholera when that
disease Is about , but it Is n most umeliable
and unsafe remedy , "
"Whatprecautions v.vouldjouadvise , doc-
tori"
" 'Ihc chief piceaatlon Is to go about one's
ordinary business without fear and avoid , as
I saM , all Intoxicating drinks , also unripe1 or
overripe fruit , and such articles of food as
from past experience the iiulh Idual knows is
apt to disagree with htm. There shotthl bo
moderation in eating and drinking , with
meats ns regular ns possible anil eaten
blowly. There should also bo a stuct
attention to cleanliness , fiesh nlrcxoicise and
an observance of all hygienic rules. These
nro ptnctleal precautions. "
"Hut suppose ono gets choleri in spite of
these , what treatment should bo followed i"
"Summon a doctor ns soon ns possible , and
while walling for his arrival tnho some ciull-
nary diarrhoea mixture with milk which has
been scaldedor liinovaterand milk and colder
or hot water , whichever is most grateful lethe
the Individual. Take no brandy or Intoxi
cant , as Its effect might bo to mask the
cholera symptoms and thus favor lethal course
of the disease. If thcio Is reason to bcllovo
something has been taken which has set up
an itritntion , an emetic or iloso of castor oil
might precede anj other medicine. If Iti pain
go to bed at once anil have external applica
tions , hot water bottles , or linseed uoultlces
with an Infusion of poppies or laudanum. If
struck down suddenly wjth diiurhoai , go to
bed , eo\cr up with plenty of clothing , have a
win in dilnlt and get into a pcr.splrutiou. The
doctor alone can ho Judge of Iho special ncdl-
c.d treatment. "
"Ib it true tliat persons in robust health are
more likely than others to fall victims to
choler.il"
"I don't think so , I'nst experience baa
convinced mo that the Intcmpotato are most
t likely to bo attacked by cholera and least
( likely to rccovcr-aftcrthoIntemperate , those
who btivo u nervous dread thinking of the
disease.11
"What are the premonitory symptoms of
cholera ! "
Dlurihuon , pains and vomiting , followed by
prostration , cramps and collajibo. Somctlines
there Un painless illnri hunt whlcuif e'hcclted ,
may prevent an attack. In true cholera oc
casionally the patient is stiuck down with
cramps nnd collapse with no premonitory
symptoms. "
"What is the general percentage recov
ery I"
"I cannot formulate a definite percentage ,
nsiecoverlci. viuy In different localities. I
am , however , of tbo opinion that eholcra is
becoming less fatal every epidemic. Great
attention should bo paid to one point ia all
suspicions cisos discharges .should bocure'-
fully disentcctod , and all who are brought la
contact with a person suffering from MIS-
'x. picicnis symptoms should avoid at

LONDON , August III. [ Xevv Yoik Ilcndd

Introduclloii a fasciiiatlni ; lady who called
herself Mis. Stanhope , and who turned out
to bo the mistress of another and wealthier
captain named Warner.

But hero , ns It nlwajs does , ciunohitbo

Lyon , well pleased nt having thus received
the stamp of respectability looked with less

\\iththokno\\lcdKOOfthopior ciptalu Is a
question which Is being extensively ventilat

tr.ulcaiimu mimed I'iekcttvho , In thoshoit
spnco Of eight months , Inul r.itcrcd lo Mrs. .
Lyou's vanity to the extent of JCIIK)0 ) vvoitb

previous occasions by Captain Warner and
those p'.utlcular dresses were entered to his
account , IMckett not having heard of the

fulled to recover the mcnoy , and then si.ed
Lyou.
Mis. Stanhope , cr Wiirncr. or Lyou , trletl
\o \ help the costumcr as well as her paramour
by asserting that her husband know of thu
bill she was running up and lold her to make
Winner pay It. She further declared that
Captain Warucr continued his relations with
her since her marriage and that Captain
Lyon , her husband , was prfcctlyvcll nvvaro
of this state of affairs and encouraged her in
order that ho tntght profit by the money she
got from Warner. This was conclusively
Miown from her own letters , apart from the
denials of Lyon on oath. A Ho more
or less.would not ntilco much difference to a
lady of Mrs. Spencer Stanhope's chai actor
and turn of mind , ntany rate.
The Jury , as a vv hole , did not believe lids
shameless story , although ono of the number
seems to have Jaken the usual view th.it a
tradesman ought to get his money , If not
fiom the right person then from any one who

consequently there was a tils igreement , hut

'Jhe Now Customs I.mw.
LONDON , August 10.New [ York Herald
Cable Special to Tin ; llr.i : . | Speaking to a
Herald correspondent yesterday , Consul
General Xcvv expressed the following opinion
about the new customs administration law ;
"To Ibo honest , exporter and dealer , " said
Mr. New , "tills law lias no terrors , any more
than tbc law against murder and arson or
theft has to men who have committed no
such offense , but to the fraudulent consignor
or consignee it is a measure which , \vlll in-
suiolo him the penalties prescribed thcicin ,
and they are rather soveio. Most of the
provisions of this law were enforced prior to
187-1 and most of thorn have been in force
always. I would have no moio fear in doing
business under this law than under nnyjuvv
that was ever in force It protects houcit

Tbo attitude of President llairlsou on tlio
flections bill Is not only well knovvi' , but him
been nmply stated ooth In Ins Inaugural ad
dress and in his first message to tlm pivsent
session of longieas. 'J'nit there may bo no
doubt of the president's views upon such
supervising of the elections as will guarantee
a free ballot and a free count in every section
ol the country , Ills well to call lo mind the
following extiact from his inaugural addiess
"The naliunul congress has not jet taken
control of elections In that cuscjover which
the constitution glres It Jmisdlitioii , but has
accepted and nJripto3 Hie election laws of the
several states , providing penalties for their
violation nnd n method of supervision. Only
the InefHi'iency of the slate luvs
or an unfair or paitl n administra
tion of the law could suggest
a ilcpartuie from this policy. It was clcn ly ,
however , In Iho contempt itlon of Ihe
framcrs of the toiistllutlon tliat such an ex
igency might arise nnd i revision \\lsel }
inailo for it. The freedom of the ballot is a
condition of our national life , and no powet
M'steil in In the executive
confess or to fee-
cure or pei petualo it should lemnln unused
upon occasion. The people of all the con-
gtesslonal districts have iqual interest that
tlio oliction In parh shall truly express the
views and wislus ot a majoritj
of the quillllod electors residing
within it , Tlio itimlso of blich
dections ute not local and tbo instances ot
electors residing in other distiicts Hint shall
bo pin o and free docs not savor ill till of im
portance. " Again the picsiduit leferted to
it in bis Jlrst otllclal document , the lirst mes
sage to congress , lu that section of the doc
ument pertaining to colored ptoplu He says.

Hayes of Iowa submitted to the bouse today
the minority report dissenting from tbo
views and recommendations of the majority
of the committee onpostofllccs and post roads
on the aiiti lottery bill. Hayes says the ob
jections to the bill nre : Pint , tlm it Is tin-
constitutional ; secondly , thoio Is no necessity
for any such legislation from the fact that vvo
already have a suftlclcncy of law upon the
subject , and vvo had better enforce what
hiw wo have than make now legislation ;
thirdly , the provisions of tbo bill two
b.iet and even absolutely dnngorous In
that its tendency is toward cPiitrallmtlou and
Inteifcrcucovith tbo proper functions and
powcis of the states ; it abridges the freedom
of the press ; it ghcs a power of csplonago to
public oillclnls aifala-jt cltl/ens ; It piov ides
for condemnation without hearing and makes
