How TO KEEP CooL.-The following
simple hints, from the Scientific Amerf-
eau. are useful to remember during the
warm weather OF the present season:
"Be sparing in your diet, which
should consist principally or fruits,
berries and vegetables. Avoid every
thing of q greasy nature; also spices,
condiments and sweets. Drink nothing
but water. Chew nothing but food;
chew that we'll, but do not chew too
much of 1t. Excuses In eating is one
OF the principal causes of that lazy,
listless, relaxing feeling experienced by
SO many persons in hot weather. Dress
lightly, and change often. Wear moth
ing at night which is worn during the
day. Battle body every morning with
cool or cold water. Keep a clean con-
science as we'll as clean body and clean
clothing, and don't get excited. If I'M
comfortably warm at any time, im-
merse the hands, or feet, or both, in
cold water for short time, or let a
stream OF cold water run upon the
wrists and ankles. This will cool the
whole body in a short time."

THE project often suggested but never
acted upon, OF introducing Chinese la
Dor at the South, has now engaged the
attention of some capitalists, who have
called convention at Memphis,
Tennessee, to devise means of in
introducing the new laborers into the
country. The Cinnamon on the Pacific
coast have already discussed the matter
among themselves, and one of their
leaders, Hoopmemsheaf, an importer,
signified by telegraph his intention TO
take part in the convention. The move
ment, if 1t is prosecuted, will introduce
II new complication into the problem of
race, with which the Southern States
are likely to be troubled for some time
TO come,

A NEW wONDER.


a Revolution I'm Steam Engines.
The Jersey City Times has a descrip-
ton OF u machine, now in operation in
that city, which is destined to work a
revolution in one department of me-
chanical industry-nameiy, new
steam engine, which, one-quarter OF
the weight. and occupying one-quarter
the space required for an ordinary ten
horse engine, will give the same power,
with twenty-five per cent. less fuel.
This little machine sets at defiance all
pre.conceived notions on the subject.
Its motive power is all contained with
in the circumference of broad, stout
wheel, about three feet in diameter, re-
volving upon hollow shaft which res
ceives the steam and delivers 1t alter
nately into two opposite reciprocal
cylinders, each fixed between the CEN
ter and the periphery. The power,
therefore, instead of being at the center,
presents the singular anomaly of being
at the circumference. Or, in other
words, the true center OF power is at
the periphery of the wheel. To use
a familiar smile, the wheel is like
the DanQ or drum OF squirrel
cage, in which two squirrels
were consentaneously, one in the
usual position, the other in the oppo-
site, but with his head down, and with
a motion similar to that of a fly walk.
ing on the ceiling-both, OF course, In
continually reversing positions as the
wheel turns. tits an application of the
simple principle by which, as any one
can see, grindstone may easily be
turned by placing the hand upon its
surface, while only with considerable
muscular exertiOn a mans hand grasp
ing the shaft can produce the same mo-
ton.
The inventor, Mr.. Ruset, a French
| man, resided at CommunIpaw until
quite recently, where be was we'll
known as the author and patenIee of
several useful minor inventions, The
Times says 1t is expected that a stock
company will be formed Immediately
for the manufacture of the Ruset En-
CINE, whose value for abuses requiring
| liRhtness OF construction, combined
with economy OF fuel, may be seen by
the simple statement that 1t will give
ten. horse power with no more fuel than
would be required in a caloric engine
OF two-horse power, occupying one.
fourth OF the space, and at a much less
first cost. And one important feature
is, that the same engine can be used
either to attain high rate OF speed or
to do heavy holsting.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something, be not Idle;
Look about thee for employ
Sit not down to useless dreaming;
Labor Is the sweetest Joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay;
Life for thee hath many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings In thy pathway!
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief-dispeIling wiiez.
AS the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever on the grateful earth.
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darkest hearth.
Hearts that are oppressed and weary
Drop the tear OF sympathy,
Whisper words OF home and com fort
Give, and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning,
From the perfect fountain-head;
Freely, as thou freely givest,
shall the grateful light bsshed.

THE Baltimore Commercial, which is
run In ex-Confederate interests, finds
no espeoial comfort in the election re-
turns from the Old Dominion. Itssys:
while we are disposed to rejoice over
the defeat of Wells, beyond that we do
not see much In this election to delight
any Virginian. For though there may
be selections and choice between car
pet.baggers, yet the fact that a great
and noble people have been hunted
such a choice, is most humiliatinK.'

cratic Statement OF the Reasons
Tor POstpOnement.
Washington Correspondence o. Inc HGlImoTe
Sun.
It is apparent that there was motive
| in fixing the election In mississippi at
so late day as the fourth tuesday In
November, This much was q cOnces-
sion TO Mr.. Boutwell, and such of the
other members Of the Cabinet as oppoa-
| ed the submission Of the Virginia Con-
siitution, with exceptions as to the test
oath and Acknowledgement clauses.
They do not look upon the result in
| Virginia In the same light as the Presi-
| of the cabinet view 1t, and they fear
that a similar result in Mississippi
(which politicians generally are now
almost prepared to admit) would have
bad effect upon elections in the
Northern States II the Mississippians
were allowed to vote earlier. For this
reason the election there was fixed for
a daV subsequent to the elections in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, which occur
the second Tuesday in October. In
both these States Governors and
other State officers are to be elected,
and it is deemed of great Importance
that the republican tickets should
triumph in both. Pennsylvania repub-
licans have already admitted that they
have an uphill business of it, by at
this early day making appeals to the
federal administration to do something
for them. In this state of the case, 10
permit an election in Mississippi, with
the probabilities all on the side OF
conservative republican success, at any
time shortly preceding the PennsylVa-
mia and Ohio elections, would be very
much like using weapon to defeat
themselves.
This is the whole object in fixing the
Mississippi election SO late in Novem-
Der, 1t is understood that some mem
bers OF the cabinet on Friday made
slight objections to making an excep-
ton OF the test. oath clause, but as the
precedent had been set in the Virginia
case, it would have been inconsistent
to deny the privilege to Mississippi.
Under the law the President has the
power to order the election in the un-
reconstructed States when and how he
pleases, but he consults his Cabinet, for
the purpose Ito use a homely phrase)
of keeping peace in the family"

The object of the Imperalist is indi.
Gated by its name. 1t advocates the
substitution of monarchical form of
government for the republican form
for which our fathers fought, bled and
died. Its assumption is that our peo-
pie, after their long enjoyment of liber-
ty and equality can be bamboozled into
the belief that liberty is not as good as
bondage, that one man has a natural
right to rule over the rest, and that q
few men ought to be supported in
luxury by the many. That is, this i'm

BUFFALoEs ON A RAILWAY TRACK
A correspondent writes from Sheridan,
Kansas
Vast herds of buffalo Craze along the
line of railroad, and are frequently SO
near that many are shot with rifles in
the hands of passengers while the cars
are in motion. Yesterday we saw up
wards of thirty, by actual count, but
about half mile off. We also saw sever
al elk and antelope and one wolf, and
dined on venison and buffalo steak.
Sometimes large herd has been sur
prised near the track by train of cars.
The shrieking Of the whistle and the
rushing of the train has produced such
panic of fear that the herd has rushed
pell NELL along in the same direction
with the train and at almost as great
speed, thus afording splendid oppor-
tunity for shooting from the cars. In
one case the engine killed several
which were on the track. Numerous
carcases are seen of the noble animal,
which have been slaughtered and left
to perish along the line of the road
from Ellsworth to Sheridan. Sheridan
has about one thousand inhabitants,
principally transient tradesmen, and
hotel and boarding house keepers.
