THE STRUGGLE IN CUBA.

WASHINGTON, November %.
Dispatches from Ccspedes to 1he New York
Cuban Junta states that the Cubans captured a
fort at Potrcnillo on the 9Th. He says that 1900
men have enlisted in the Cuban army since the
5th of July, and that there is greater confidence
in the success or the cause. The policy OF destroy

ms- WELIvE IN THREE CLIMATES.

MS- WE LIVE IN THREE CLIMATES.
In this country we have, at different seasons OF
the year, the temperature Of three climates. Our
springs and autumns have softness and mild
ness that belong only to the Temperate Zones;
our mid.summers are torrid, and our winters
almost arctic in their frigidity. These changes,
involving variation of from ninety to one hun
dred degrees Of Fahrenheit during the year, are,
upon the whole, conducive to health and long LIE,
but they tend to entail upon US some distressing
complaints which can only be escaped by the ex-
ercse OF due care and the use OF proper anti
dote when the system is predisposed to contract
them The chief and most annoying of these dis
orders is dyspepsia, once supposed to be incura-
bic, but which, since the introduction of HOSTEL
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS, now about twenty
years ago. has proved to be perfectly managea-
Bile disease. ta
In the spring and fall, but more especially In
the fall, the SYMPTOMS Of dyspepsia are generally
aggravated. The profuse expenditure OF the ami
nal fluids ,tadenzAe burning sun of summer, is
apt to leave the stomach weak and indolent and
incompetent to the task Of perfect digestion. 1t
requires tonic which will rouse it from its leth-
argy and brace and invgorate without irritating
or nnaming it. This tonic has been provided In
the wonderful vegetable preparation which has
replaced in great measure, all the old pallatives
formerly prescribed by physicians, under the
false idea that the disorder could not be radically
cured. The success Of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
in all the varieties OF dyspepsia acute or chronic,
has encctually exploded this fallacy and 1t is now
recommended as specific for indigestion BY
some Of the most eminent mens5ers Of the medical
profession. noV22 6D&C z

A Balloon I'm Maine wilderness.

Mr.. Samuel A. King, the eronaut, gives
the following amusing account of an ad-
venture in the northern wilds of Maine /:
II had an unusually long air voyage
from Bangor, with several companions,
and was passing over an almost nbrsken
wilderness Of forest and lake, looking in
vain iot q landing piece. Night Ras
coming on, aud the question where to
land became q serious one. No sound of
civiliz alton, not gun or an AK, nothing
but primitive sounds of nature. Eere
is al obsning,' cried one passenger I;
why not land here9' No boys, have
little patience; we can do much better
by running down to the coast in the ooun-
ter current above u.s. Darkness Rad soze
on, hst ses--f4 light q light This
was the exclamation Of one who a mo
ment before thought he was doomed to
stsrve in the wilderness. Sure enough
there was a light, but it was a great way
Of, and might not be in our course; 20,
gradually we app.aseh 10. At one time
It seems TO be oG 10 the right, and then

ting the gas out, we remained in the car
and taking up my speaking trumpet /
hallooed, but the unearthly sound was
adding terror to the already frightened
inhabitants. One man, however, little
braver than the rest, ventured out after
awhile and inquired, what is it any how ?
By dint of explanation and persuasion,
we succeeded in getting him to come to
us. Giving him line that was attached
to the car he was requested to make it
fast to certain log TO prevent the bal
loon from swsying about till we could get
more help. Becoming impressed with
the idea that our lives were in danger,
and that our safety depended on him, be
froze to that rope in wonderful manner.
1t was little short, and, though he tried
hard to make it fast every time the bal
loon would settle, still he could not get it
fastened. Then the balloon would rise, and
up he would go twenty feet more, and
down again to try the same thing over,
but he soon began to feel exhausted, and,
remembering his companions, broke out
with: Say, you blasted, golldumered.
cowardly snesks, come out and help me !"
This started them soon five others made
their appearance and assisted in moving
the balloon to better place. The first
they knew Of the balloon was from one of
the women who was just returning from
milking, seeing the monster just above
her, aud descending, she dropped her
pail and fed to the house, screaming in
the most frantic manner; when asked
the matter, she could only reply, 'Oh,
it's forerunner / know it's fore.
runner' In this backwoods place they
had never heard Of balloon, and many
were the wonders and surmises as to the
meaning of our strange appearance
among them. The Oldest man of them all,
however, seemed to have hit upon the right
idea, and coming up to me in jocose
way, says he: "Ah yser skedaddlers I"
l shook my head, and, pointing to the
balloon, he asked, How many more is
there up in tha'e II? 1t didn't take so

was induced to change his mind at last

Poisoned by Hair Dve.

From the Davenport Uowa) Gazette, Aug. II. j
Shortly after the death of DR.. j. NJ.
Witherwax, which occurred on the 18th
of June, the Scott County Medical So
ceiy appointed committee, consisting
of Drs. j. W. FL. Baker, Hazen, Far.
quarson, Cantwsll and French, to inves-
tigate the causes which led to his death,
it having been the opinion of several
medical gentlemen that hs died from the
effects Of lead poison.
The committee, through DR.. Baker,
have prepared their report, in which they
unanimously concur in the opinion that
the cause of DR.. Witherwsx's death was
rightly surmised, and that the poison was
introduced into the system through the
use OF hair dressing or dye. For four
years previous to his demise DR.. Wither-
wax had used the dressing slmost daily
on his hair and whiskers, and frequently
during the whole period suffered from
pains which were similar to those pro-
duced by lead collie
Drs. Hszen and Cantwell each made
four separate analyses of the liver OF DR..
w., and one Of the kidneys, and found
lead ia the Tissues of those organs each
time. Their report accompanies that OF
the committee.
In the report, DR.. Baker, as chairman,
cites many instances given in prominent
medical works aud journals, in which in
dividuals have died from diseases pro-
duced by hair dyes, in which symptoms
very similar to those manifested in the
case OF DR.. W. were betrayed. Further
more it il established that congestion Of
the brain ia not unfre4uently produced
by these dyes.
1t is stated that all the numerous hair
dyes in use, except one, contain lead.
The one exception contains nitrate of
silver, instead OF lead, and that, while il
does not poison the system, crisps and
dries the hair-to its injury, of course.
The lead used on the hair is absorbed
by the skin aud thence conveyed to the
different organs in the body, and effects
its work of destruciioa By poison. The
magic eombs, which are warranted to
turn gray hair black, are made Of lead,
and DR.. Baker cites an INSTANCE of the
death from lead poison Of an individual
who used them,
AEd 90 the committee clearly demon
strates the fact that the use Of most hair
dyes is dangerous to life producing
painful diseases, which sooner or later
result in death. Gray hairs are honor
able, i 10 ss,d---and' healthy, might be
added. Wed better all wear them when
the bleaching process commences on our
craniums.
