1t is usual to send the students at the
United States Naval Academy on an oc-
casionAl short voyage, in order to fit
them for their duties. The New Orleans
Times thinks it both proper and polite
to give the cadets at West Point o SINH
lar opportunity, by sending them out by
the Pacific Railroad for hunt among
the hostile Indians. By this means
they would "get their hand in" early at
the killing business, and it would save
considerable expense to the Government
in enlisting troops for tho purpose
Even the casualties resulting would lean
toward the score of economy, as the ca
diets are much moro expensive than en-
listed men.

fact, life is utterly savorless, and uncom-
fortably moist. Whether the season will
bring us one or more cheated terms" it
is impossible to say. 1t has set in with
severity enough, but rains may temper
the heat, and the JOY which cometh with
tho morning may make us forget the
troubles of night. However, the
clothing should be light and loose, and
of such character that the air can readi-
ly pass through it, 1t should be changed
often. Clothing worn during the day
should not be worn at night. The en-
tire body should be bathed every day SO
as to keep the pores open and the skin
clean. Perspiration should not be
checked but encouraged. if one does not
perspire easily. Perspiration necessitates
evaporation, and evaporation cools. Eat
sparingly, and avoid everything of a
heating, stimulating or irritating charac-
ter, as salts, spices, condiments, sweets,
fats, tea, coffee. tobacco, alcoholic drinks,
&c. The diet should consist principally
or entirely OF fruits, berries and vege-
tables. The only proper drink is water.
The following lines on "Mid-Day in
Summer" will very appropriately close
this dissertation:
Io! lying in tho fierce meridian heat,
Tho beauteons earth looks like thing that
dreams,
And all o'ercome with stupor strangely sweet,
She wholly in the warm suns clutches seems.
Cows seek the sheds cool sh ade; in sober wise,
SO laZily through the languid noontide air,
A crow flies from the high green hill that lies
Aback beyond the flat. The heat, tho glare
Ohalks out the white highway that runs along
The distant upland. Not bird makes choice
To warble even the fragment OF song,
And nature would not own a single voice
But for the restless brooks that, all alive,
Murmur like bees content in honeyed hive.
