Wa report fair trade tor the past week
in the regular lines OF trade. In holiday
goods, business has been brisk The

evidently, be light until after New Year.
Cotton has slightly declined. In Drugs the
only change IS in Morphine, which has de-
clined 25c. Hignwines have materially
declined. Tia-plate we quote 2ic per box

How 10 Live I'm Hot weather.

About this time when the heat II
so exasperating, and the thermome-
ter so ambitious that it is getting al
most above " figgers," it is easy
enough to tell n man to "kcep cool"
but how can he? Listen TO advice
salubrious from the Scientific Ameri-
can:
Be sparing in your diet, which con-
sists principally of fruits, berries and
vegetables. Avoid every thing of n
greasy nature; also spices, condiments
and sweets. Drink nothing but
water Chew nothing but food;
chew that well, but do not chew too
much OF IL. Excess i'm 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 noting at night which is worn
during the day. Battle the body
every morning with cool orrcold wa
ter. Keep clean conscience as well
as clean body and clean clothing, and
don't get excited. If uncomfortably
warm at any time, immerse the
hands or feet, or both, in cold water
for n short time, or let a stream OF
cold water run upon the wrists and
ankles. This will cool the whole
body In short time.

serves to illustrate the respect Of that
great soldier for the laws Cf his coun-

he declared "rnust be preserved. ~
After his great victory as New Orr
leans, achieved against n powerful
force of British veterans, he was
served with and promptly yielded to
q process from q civil court f6r u sup
posed contempt. Judge Hall found
his illustrious prisoner guilty, but
hesitated to assess the fino which he
considered due, fearing an outburst
OF popular passion, as the people al
most idolized Jackson, and their
hearts were overlooking with grnti.
tude Affd pride for the splendid hero
Ism which had saved their city from
the enemy. Thereupoh jackson rose
and said: "May 1t please the court I;

THE WEST INDIES.
Unprecedented DrOught-Rt Streams
Drying Up-Apprehended Fail.
80 ure of GrOna.

Adrought of unprecedented severity
prevails throughout the greater part
of the West Indies. In the island of
Trinidad the drought is so intense
that the deepest wells in Port of
Spain are almost dry. The country
was completely burnt up with heat,
and several fires had occurred, with
most disastrous results. One of the
fires had traversed twenty-five square
miles of country, destroying in its
course thousands of acres of growing
canes; and Others had taken place on
cocoa plantations, with similar sad
results. In st. Lucia the streams
have diminished to such an extent
that the mills are at q standstill for
want OF water to work them. In
Gaudaloupe public and private els
terms are alike dried up, and not a
drop of fresh water is to be obtained.
In the towns the inhabitants are to
be seen at the corners of the different
streets pumping and drinking brack-
ish water; while the distress of do
nestle animals and cattle is positive
~ painful to witness. In Grenada
and Antigua the young canes are
perishing for lack ofmoisture, months
having elapsed since they have had a
heavy fall of rain. In Bardaboes the
weather has been so dry that serious
fears are entertained for next years
sugar crop. And i'm some parts of ia
macia the people are actually giving
nearly days labor for single buck
ct of water; while the water supply
of Kingston, drawn from a river, dis
tant about three miles from the city,
has so greatly diminished as to
awaken serious apprehensions ofcon-
sequences In the event ola fire break
ing out in the city. Says one of the
dare to contemplate what our posi-
ton would be il fire was to brake
out in any part of the city. With
the strong winds of the last few days,
every thing parched up and dried
around us, and hardly water enough
to supply one hydrant to any pur-
purpose, only the good Providence of
God could save us from the most fear
full consequences" OF late years the
rainfall in most of the West India Is
lands has greatly diminished, owing
in great measure, it is supposed, to
the cutting down of the large trees by
the free settlers in opening up fresh
grounds for the cultivation Of coffee,
yams, etc. Similar Consequences
arising from the destruction of forests
have been noticed in the East Indies
and elsewhere.
