IDAHO CITY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER Il, 1862
A LIVELY PRESIDENT.

John q. Adams was in the habitOf breastinp
the b1ilOws when President Instead of 90.
ing to fashionable resort, he might be noticed
very early in the morning in the Potomac amid
"school" of boys and youth, who took their
morning bath earlier than was their wont, that
they might swim with the President of the
United States. 1t was with them as with John
Quincy's ancestor: "Sink or swim, survive or
perish" they were bound to be afOat at that
particular time. Adams generally selected a
place near the Long Bridge (not Long Branch)
The boys annoyed the long shore bOatmen very
much, seizing the steering oar, etc, as the lat
ter would be rowing or polling their boats up
the river, and they frequently had to dodge a
billet of wood or chunk of coal which the vexed
river men would hurl at them. Adams bald
pate, meantime, would be bobbing up and down
in close proximity to these scenes, ard on one
occasion bOatman SHE'D missile ut him with
an accompanying admonition to the old bald
head "tO get away from there." Mr. Adams
had sort of weakness for the water. On an
other occasion, IN company with his valet Ca
Swiss who had been with him in Europe) he
attempted to cross the Potomac in small skitf,
to Mason's Island, and when they were about
in the middle their craft began to leak rapidly.
Both were good swimmers, and they stripped
off nearly all their garments, and tied them in
bundles to be ready for the threatened emer-
gency 1t soon came. The skif went under,
and its late occupants, each with his bundle,
spaniel like, between his teeth, swan with the
force of Lenders towards the nearest shore.
But the swiftness Of the current compelled
them to drop their packages. and they reached
the muddy shore of the island with but shirt
and pair of drawers between them Adams
stripped his remaining garment to add to the
wardrobe of his valet, who thus coolly accou-
tered for summers day, approached the near
est plantation, borrowed clothing for himself,
and proceeded round by distant bridge to the
city. Having procured suitable attire for the
President and himself he took carriage and
drove back to where the future I" old man elo-
quent " had been stark naked for three hours
in Potomac mud and water. At that time the
newspapers could not well report whether all
was quiet, or notice this ripple of the Poto-
mac; and public men then had not such pru-
riency for notoriety, even when the jokes were
favorable. This event was of course unher-
aided. The first thing President Adams did
on his return TO Washington was to purchase
a valuable gold watch for his valet, to supply
the place of one which that faithful attendant
lost III the adventure.

We Live i'm Three Climates.

In this country we have at different seasons
Of the year the temperature Of three climates
Our Springs and Autumns have o softness and
mildness that belong only. to the Temperate
Zones; our Mid-summers are torrid. and our
Mid-winters almost arctic in their frigidity.
These changes, involving a variation Of from
ninety to one hundred degrees Of Fahrenheit
during the year, are upon the whole conducive
10 health and long life, but they tend to entail
upon Us some distressing complaints which can
only be escaped BY the exercise Of due care and
the use Of proper antidote when the system is
pre-. disposed to contract them. The chief and
most ANNOYING of these disorders is dyspepsia,
| once supposed to be incurable, but which, since
the introduction of HOSTETTER'SS STOMACH
BITTERS, now about twenty years ago, has
proved to be perfectly manageable disease.
In the Spring and Fall, but more especially IN
| the Fall, the symptoms of dyspepsia are gel or.
ally aggravated. The profuse expenditure Of
the animal fluids under the burning sun OF Sum
mer, is apt to leave the stomach weak and indo.
| lent and incompetent TO the task of perfect
digestion. 1t requires tonic which will rouse
| il from its lethargy ana brace and invigorate
without irritating or intlaming it. This tonic
has been provided in the wonderful vegetable
preparation which has replaced, in great
| measure all the old palliatives formerly pre-
scribed 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
effsctually exploded this fallacy, and it is now
recommended as n specific for Indigestion by
| some Of the most eminent members of the med
zeal profession.

Some time ago Miss Olive Logan in,
Cured sharp censure in writing ana
publishing an article on stage nudity,
which was more Objectionable than the
stage nudities. AS she has done things
better than this, the blunder might
have been forgotten and forgiven, but
she persists in thrusting it upon public
attention. In a lecture on "Girls," she
advises young persons of her own sex to
emulate the courage displayed in her
prurient theatrical paper. The less OF
that sort of boldness girls develop the
better. Miss Logan say her discourse
on "the leg business" subjected her to
"all kinks of vituperatieps and coarse
obscenities from the lowest portion OF
the press" but that t'every journal with
a noble man at the helm stood firmly BY
me-" If the last statement be true, the
only journal with noble man at the
helm is the Tribune, which alone approx
ed her Improbable productions.

Terrible Torpedo Explosion in New
Orleans.

From the New Orleans Times, Nov. 49,
At half past five o'clock last evening
while two young men, John Ross anC
George Cent?, aged respectively eigh'
teen and nineteen, were hosting case
containing $4,000 torPedoes to an upper
story in the house of Messrs. G. II. Mil
Ter d Co, No. so and SO Peters street,
The sling gave way and the box coming
dova with crash, exploded, causing
the horrible mutilation and instant
death of both.
We visited the scene of ruin shortly
after the accident occurred, and clam
baring over piles of shattered confec-
tionery, shivered boxes, and broken
timbers, managed to reach the rear por-
ton of the store, in which the accident
occurred. r.
Immediately in front of the hatch
was partition, arranged on the front
with shelves for slowing boxes of
lozenges. Passing over this Git was
thrown down, and the boxes it contained
scattered in all directiOns), we found
the floor strewn nearly ankle deep with
pieces of stick candy, broken into par
ticles perhaps an inch in length.
Toward the wall nearest Natchez
alley, and far up in the corner, made by
the partition, lay one Of the bodies. 1t
yes on its back and bare to the waist.
The trowsers seemed literally torn of,
the drawers were riddled and the body
penetrated with round red wounds,
which covered it almost like the small
pox. A fragment Of blue flannel shirt
was also perforated in several places
end the face was one biotch of crimson
gore. Bare-footed and almost destitute
Of clothing, it seemed that none of the
covering of the luckless youth had es-
capped.
Far away from this, almost at the other
end of the room, and under table lay
the mangled corpse of another, destitute
of covering, except at the loins, with
clothing burned off of the body, and the
shoes burned off its feet; this was ever
moro horrible than the other, 1t had
been thrown a distance of thirty feet
over two tables and under third.
The hair was singed until 1T resem
bled that Of negro, and great cash
in .he throat showed how deadly the
destruction proved. Surrounding, the
entire premises were a perfect wreck
A great joist was broken in two, and
oven the planks In the ceiling shattered
into pieces. Piles of boxes in the front
portion Of the store were disarranged,
but the chief wreck was in the rear.
The box of torpedoes, we learn, con,
tanned $4,000 in all. 1t was sent to the
house as u sample, and was the only one
III the building. notwithstanding the
great violence of the explosion, we hear
it was not heard on the next corner.
The victims of the, accident were emf
ployed in the establishment as candy
rollers. The father of one was present
at the hour of our visit. The coroner
ct that time had not held an inquest. A
false report at one time prevailed that
tho beokkeeper of the establishment
was seriously injured, but, from the gen
tleman himself, we learn the rumor is
without foundation. The damage will
probably amount to about $4,000.
