Cooling Rooms.

The warm weather will shortly be here,
and every one will be seeking the refresh
ing influence of a cool and shady place,
whereunto they can retreat from the bIaz.
ing sun so we will give our readers few
hints concerning the cooling oftheir houses.
The first necessity is thorough draft. This
can always be obtained by opening every
door and window in the basement, the top
orcvory window above, and by throwing
each door wide open but above all, be
sure that the trap door in the roof is open,
and there is plenty Of air room from it
down tho stairs, SO that whichever be the
direction Of the wind, there will be at least
one ascending current Of air in the house.
Another requisite is shade. Our common
sat shutters answer well for the windows,
but the most cheap and convenient shelter
for the roof is to cover it thickly with straw,
dried reeds or rushcs. These will resist the
influence of the MONDAY sun, and keep the
garret almost rs the basement. One of the
most simple methods, and at the same time
cheapest means Of artificially lowering the
temperature Of room is TO wet cloth OF
any size the larger the better, and suspend
1t in the place you want cooling let the
room be well ventilated, and the tcmpcra.
ture will sink from ten 10 twenty degrees
in less than half m hour. The above hints
will be useful to many, and as last sugges,
ton we will inform the reader that, in sum
mer, it is well to keep a solution Of chloride
of lime in the house, and occasionally sprn-
kle it i'll the mole frequcnted parts, as the
passages and stairs.-S. 1imcrican.

to recover bucket which had become
detached from the rope. The we'll was
about 40 feet deep-the lower portion,
TO the extent os some IL feet, having
been blasted through solid rock, and ali
above that being stoned up. A laider
l6 feet long was let down to enable the
boy to pass down aud up the smooth or
rock bored part of the well, and rope
was affixed to- his body to draw him out
in case of danger. He descended safe
ly, secured the bucket, and was coming
up, when just as he had reached the ori
fee of the perforated rock. stone against
which the Top of the ladder rested fell
out, and was followed by others. The
noise of the falling stones gave in.ima
tion of danger to the little boys broth
er, who stood at the windlass, and who
made vain attempt to draw him out.
But the well crumbled down, when once
started, and in short time the boy in
the vel! was buried up, and his life
crushed out of him.

fragment of iron, weighing about ten
pounds, struck a white-oak post about
six inches in diameter, and cut it short

Weighing six or eight pounds, hit George

Goodbye, Cora, Dearest said pale
beautiful woman, as she put back the
riuglets, and pressed kiss ter kiss upon
the cheek of fair little girl of about
eight summers, who stood weeping be-
side her.
Il can't stay with you any longer, 1
am going to die now aud when l am
gone, | want you to carry this letter to
be stoue house on the bill; and wait
TILL they read it Be good girl, am
willing to go now, for God will take care
of Cora. Do not weap so darling
These words were spoken at short in
tervals and the invalid sank back on her
pillow exhausted by so great an effort,
aud ceased to breathe.
The lovely child nesting SO near
could notrealize that the only friend she
knew in the city was no more. tOh
Mother you must not die and leave me
all alone, for l shall have no one to love
me when you are goue,' she said, as she
grasped her mothers hand it was very
cold; Mother why don't you speak to
me?' but the lifeless form answered not,
and Cora knew that she must be dead.
For few moments she was lost in
hopeless grief, but the letter falling from
her hand, reminded her of her mothers
last request, and folding the blanket
more closely around the dear form, not
thinking she could ever be warm gain,
she brushed the tears from her own eyes
and putting on her straw hat FASTENED
to the stone house And while she is
going We will introduce tho lovely family
moro particularly to our readers.

drayman named Richard Thomas, reck
lessly attempted to drive bis team across
the track of the Iron Mountain Rail
road, in front of an engine that had just
been loosed from the train and was pass
ing swiftly down descending grade -
The ray was struck between the horse
wheel, and thrown under, while the dri-
yer was thrown upon the track and iu-
stantly killed. A wheel of the loco
motive struck his head, splitting it open
at orce, and then passed over his left
leg, cutting it nearly off above his ankle.
The engineer. Michael Lynch, was im'
mediately arrested, and locked up in

CRYSTAL PALACE BURNED.
NEW YoRK. Oct. 5


a FIRE broke out in stable in West
35th ST., aud soon destroyed it. The
flames then communicated to FIVE frame
buildings adjoining, all of which were
destroyed. Loss estimated at about
$4,000, insured for So 900. The fire
was supposed to have been caused by a
boy playing with matches.
The Crystal Palace with all its con
tents was entirely destroyed by fire this
P. NJ. The fair of the American Insti-
tute was being held there at the time
A large amount of property was destroy
ed, consisting of mechanical and agri-
cultural implements, melodeous, pianos,
steam engines and other kinds of goods
that were on exhibition. The fire broke
out in lumber room which was filled
with empty boxes and large quantity
of old lumber, ard is believed to have
been the work of an incendiary. When
first discovered, the palace engine was
brought out, but the hose was so full of
holes as to be useless The flames
spread with astonishing rapidity, Great
ing intense excitement among the visi
tors, estimated at upwards of 1000. It
is feared many are killed.
One dead body has been taken out
The heat was intense. The fremen' s
services were of no avail
The whole building is in ruins, and
very little of its contents saved. Two
only from the many fire engines on ex-
hibition were got out uninjured. The
building was crowded with articles on
exhibition of every possible description,
1t is impossible to estimate the los
with any degree of accuracy.
The building itself is estimated at
$3.50 900. The contents must have
been. worth double that sum.

RUss1A's NEW NAVAL STATION IN THE
MEprrERRANEAN.-T fact that Russia
has gained foothold in the Mediterra-
mean, by the acquisition of naval sta
ton, causes considerable comment in the
European journals. Russia has got the
lease of Villa France, for % years to
come, at the fixed rate of four mi illions
of francs annual payment in the Ssrdin-
ian Exchequer. 1t comprises capa-
cious and we'll sheltered harbor, capable
of accommodating their ships of the
line, within ten miles of France, two
miles from Nice, and in the most favora-
BILE position for becoming small Sebas-
topol in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Notwithstanding the jealousy of the
Western power, Russian policy seems
to be marked with success at every step,
and she is steadily securing advantages
which will place her in position to be
consulted when important political chan
ges, either in Europe or Asia, are to be
effected.

France reckon upon them to defend
her honor, her grandure and her ir-'

principles which have made the glory Of
their house, which their grandfather
faithfully observed upon the throne, and
which their father, in his will and testa-
