CAUSE AND EFFEoT.-Mysterious murders
hereabout appear to be the order of the day.
Human life is certainly getting to be cheaper
than ever. "Dead men found in the river"
with stones hung about the necks, and dag
ger thrusts in the sides! Dead women, shock
ingly mutlated, barreled up, and sent on by
railroad, right into the heart of the city, no
body knows from where, or by whom! What
are we coming to? Transactions like these
every other day, almost-yet nobody ever
hanged!
According to the false philanthropy and
false philosophy of the day, it is inhumanity
to hang-but no inhumanity to murder
Hence, murder and murderers hoursh-and
the hangman has nothing to do.-Neo York
Express.

How TO KEEP OUR HOUSES Cool The
Scientific American gives tho following direc-
tiOns for the securing of cool houses in warm
weather:
The first necessity is a thorough draft This
can always be obtained by opening every door
and window in the basement, the top of every
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 the stairs, so that whichever
direction be the wind there will at least be one
asce nding current of air in the house. Another
requisite is shade. Our common slat shutters
answer well for the windows, but the most cheap
and convenient shelter for the root is to cover
it thickly with straw, dried leaves or rushes
These will resist the influences of a noon day
sun, and keep the garret almost as cool as the
basement. One Of the most simple methods,
and at the same time cheapest means, OF low
ering the temperature Of room, is to wet a
cloth of any size, the larger the better, and sus-
pend IT in the place you want cooled; let the
room be well ventilated, and the temperature
will sink from ten to twenty degrees In less
than an hour. The above hints will be useful
to many; and, as a last suggestion, we will in
form the reader that, in summer it is we'll to
keep solution Of chloride Of lime in the house
and occasionally sprinkle it in the more fre-
quentsd parts, Is tho passage and stairs,
