This is the speech or the organ OF the
Senate, delivered with the concurrence
of all his colleagues. Insults are not
rendered less bitter when they are fol-
lowed by professions OF desire for
concord, which, coming in the train OF
insults, becomes an insult In Itself; nor

Prof. Goodwin Smith has written
the following letter about Mr.. sum
ner's speech on the Alabama Claims:
SIR: The information respecting the
prospects of English emigration, which
I was requested to procure, had been
collected TO the best of my ability, and
1 was about to send it for publication
in your columns; but the speech OF Mr..
Sumner has had so great an eject In
reviVing American hostility to Eng
land, and the continuance of friendly
relations between the two countries ap-
pears at this moment to be in such peril,
that fear the promoters and organ1-
zers of English emigration cannot for
the present prudently turn their
thoughts in this direction. Judging
from whst know OF the general tenn

rupture but at the same time hold
myself prepared for turn of affairs
which would oblige English residents

An extraordinary fallscy Is the
dread OF night air. What air can we
breathe at night but night air2 The
choice is between pure night air from
without, and foul night air from with
in. Most people prefer the latter. An
unacCountable choice. What will they
say If it is proven to be true that fully
one.halt of all the diseases we suffer
from is occasioned by people sleeping
with their windows shut? An open
window, most nights in the year, can
never hurt any one. This is not to say
that light is not necessary for recovery.
In great cilieB, night air is often the
hest and purest air to be had In the
twenty four hours. 1 could better un-
derstaud shutting the windows In town
during the day than during the night,
for the sake or the sick. The absence
of smoke, the quiet, all tend to make
night the best time for airing the pa

One Of the highest medical authori-
ties on consumption and climate has
told me that the air in London is never

Always air your room, then, from the
outside air, if possible. Windows are
made to open, doors are made to shut

must be aired from without-every

passages there are in hospital, the

The London (England) Post says:
Where may we expect discoveries in

made by Mr.. Meyer, an official engag-

given, but If what is published is fact,
the new system Is as wonderful as the
electric telegraph itself. There

sender ofthe dispatch is his own clerk.
The messagesitself does the duty OF the
Interpreter, and controls the electrical
power so as to make it perfectly faith

gives us is not copy more or less ex-
