The Dangers of Gold Weather.

The N. Y. Evening Post, In m article on this
subject, says that frozen limbs should never be
rubbed. The juices Of the feshy tissues, when
frozen in their minute sacs or cells, at once be-
come In each of these enclosures crystals, hav-
ing large number of angles and sharp points;
and hence rubbing the flesh causes them to cut
or tear their way through the tissues, 30 that
when II Is thawed the structure OF the muscle
Is more or less destroyed. The proper mode OF
treatment Is thus stated:
When any part Of the body Is frozen II should
be kept perfectly quiet till Is thawcd out. which
should be done as promptly as possible. As
freezing takes place from the surface inwardly, {,
80 thawing should be In the reverse order, from
the inside outwardly. The thawing out Of .
portion Of flesh, without at tho same time
putting the blood from the heart into circula-
ton through Ii. produces modification; but by
keeping the more external parts still c0ngealed
ill the internal heat and the external blood
gradually soften the more interior parts, and
produce circulation of the blood rs fast ~ the
thawing takes place, most Of these dangers arc
obviated.
Speaking Of the application Of snow, the
writer says:
III the snow which Is applied be colder than
the frozen Hesh Il will further abstract the heat
and freeze II worse than before. But II the
snow Is of the same temperature II will keep
the fcsh from thawing till the heat from the
rest of the body shall have effected II, thus pre-
venting gangrene. Water, In whichs snow or
ice has been placed, 80 as 10 keep Its tempera

u Archbishop Hughes always had pen
chant for political management, and at various
times he has had considerable influence upon
public affairs. II was the policy Of Governor
Seward to court that influence, mainly in the
hope of weakening the allegiance Of the Irish
to the Democratic party, and of transferring
the foreign vote to the old Wings. In this he
was partially successful; but the appointment
Of Archbishop Hughes as secret commissioner
to Europe, in conjunction with Mr.. Thurow
Weed, showed that the Hon. Secretary Of State
retained intact his personal alliance with the
Metropolitan.
An authentic story is told OF the attempt oi
Bishop Hughes to negotiate with Gov. Bouck
the same position he had enjoyed with Gov.
Seward; Bouck being rich Dutch farmer, but
little versed in either political Or ecclesiastical
subtlcties. The Bishop called upon the Cover
nor and sent in his card "GUod morning,
Mister Hughes" said Bouck, ~ am glad to
see you, SIR" A pause ensued, when Hughes
said, "Bishop Hughes. your Exccllency, OF N.
York"
"Ah! Bishop Hughes. so good morning
The Bishop again interposed, saying with
emphasis: "Perhaps your Excellency does no,
recognize the title of his visitor. | am the
BIsnoP Of this diocese"
"0h, ah-so; am glad to sec you, Bishop
Hughes; and how is Mrs. Hughes!"
The Bishop gave over In despair. The inter.
view verified what ono of Gov. Bouck's parti-
sans had said during the canvass to neighbor
who had urged him to vote for Seward. "Gov.
Seward" said the one, "is much smarter
man than Bouck; he has y much longer head"
