/ NEWSPAPER CovERLETs! q certain
remedy against cold feet. At last way
is found by which people may sleep COM
Portable, secure from the stinging cold
of winter. A correspondent Of the Phil :
adelpbia North American informs the
public that they may sleep much more
comfortably and with fewer led clothes,
by placing one or two thicknesses of pa
per Common newparer will answer
between the coverle..s of their beds. -
This, as he says, may appear very non
sensical, but ae tried it and found it "au
effective remedy for cold sleeping" He
adds, ''if those who minister to the wants
OF TIE poor, will give it trial, believe
.Paey will find it valuable and in re-
lieving their sufferings" +" So ye poor,
who sbiver in your cold beds in vain
trying to sleep warmly, you have only
to get up and place a newspaper on the
blanket or wretched quilt that half COW
ers you, and almost instantly you will
feel the warm blood tingle in your veins
and balmy sleep will come, not at your
bidding, but under the weight of a news
paper. And ye rich, no more give away
to your grocer, or sell half price your
newspapers, but send them in packages
to the "Aid Societies." the " Shelters, y
the " Homes" with which this good city
of Providence abounds. If this new
fashioned comforter is to be brought in
to general use, it is hoped some process
may be invented to keep the paper from
rustling, which sound to the nervous,
would be as effectual barrier against sleep
as the cold. But then one mnst learn
to conquer nerve as well as the cold.-
Will some Of our professors, learned in
the sciences, tell US why our newspaper
covering will keep out the cold 7 Is it
because it is a conductor or a non-con-
ductor, a radiator or a non radiator p
During certain seasons of the year news
papers undoubtedly "conduct" great
deal of cheat" political heat but we
are not told whether one kind of news
paper is better than another. 1t is SIM
ply said " common newspapers will an
swer )" nothing is said Of uncommon
ones. Il certain class of religious pa
pers, we should think, would prove extra
warm.

D6r Considerable excitement was
created in Provideuoe, on Monday, in

1t proved to be bit of boyish fun for

students. A writer in the Journal says :
Upon Saturday last, two gentlemen
agreed for the purpose Of hoaxing few
Of their fellow students, to get up mock
duel Two gentlemen were then called
to act as seconds, in order to carry out
the affair, in such manner as to COM
pletely "sell +" those upon whom they
designed to play off the joke. In ac-
cordance with the custom in such cases,
and in order to have nothing wanting to
perfect the joke, the parties adjourned
to a spot in neighboripg State, and two
pistols having been loaded with blank
cartridge, were presented to the princi.
pals, who then took their respective
places at Q distance Of fifteen PAGES
apart. While We we're alternately
laughing and sbiveriDg with cold (u such
manner that the bloody.minded duelis'
could hardly hold their weapons) at q
given signal the pistols were discharged

1@ The late shooting affair at Wash
ingtou City, has created considerable
feeling at that place, and at Alexandria,
Va, where Mr.. Hume. the person killed,
belonged, and was engaged in the mer-
camille business. 1t Itappears that Mr.. H.
was at Washington, with bis two daugh-
ters, and in the press of the crowd at
the Presidents levee, he was charged
by Mr.. D. C. Lee, clerk in the pension
Office, with having stolen bis pocket
book. Hume replied" Sir, should
feel myself much dishonored in picking
the pocket of such man as you are
l would slap your face for you if | had
not ladies with me-" The next day
be and friend called on Mr.. Leo, when
the latter reiterated the charge, when
Hume struck bin over the head with
bis cane, three times, and was following
up the blows, when Lee drew a pistol
and shot his asssilant, who exclaimed,
90 God, I am a dead man." and
breathed his last in a few minutes. In
remarking upon this sad affair, the New
Haven Palladium says:
1t is quite natural that the public
