"The Way 10 Dusty Death. ("

The summer just ending will always be
memorable as the hot summer; but in the
chronicles which record not meteorologi-
cal facts only, but those of human life and
experience, it will be still more character
istically marked as the summer of dust and
of disease. Less rain has fallen here in
the last ten weeks thap in the correspond
ing ten of any other year on record; and,
except in years of some terrible pastilence.
40 summer has squaled this in the preva-
lence Of sickness and in the number oi
deaths.
In a remarkable lecture. the substance
OF which was published in the Evening
Post, Professor Tyndall last winter eX,
planned the relations between ''dust and
dises.se," so far rs recent scientific investi-
cations have detected them. He proved
that the air breathed In cities always
contains quantity OF very fine dust, made
| up of the strangest variety of matters,
1-the refuse of animal life, with hairs and
scales of skin; fbres from various kinds o
cloth; particles of stone, iron and salt; the
products of fermentation and of disease
and the germs of nemberless forms of mi
croscopic fungus. All these are taken into
the lungs at each breath, and left there

BRILLIANT REPARTEK. = One morning
after the campaign of Dresden, Napoleon
observed Tallvrand at his levee. and bade
him remain, as he wished to talk privately
with him. After the company had gone,
ne went up TO Tallyrand and bawled:
'sWhat have you come here for? To show
me your ipgratitude? You give the public
to believe that you belong to party in
opposition ! You think, dare say, that
were l to die you vould be President O,
the Council of Regency. Now. mark my
words. We're ! so much as dangerously
ill, the first thing / should do, would be to
have You shot" Tallyrand with the grace
and quiet of courtier who had just re-
ceived new favors bowed low and respect
fully as he replied: II did not require,
sire, such warning to address most fer
vent prayers to Heaven to vouchsafe
health and long life to your Majesty"

The revolutionists are all dispersed,
except a few guerrilla bands. Gen.
Jordan has surrendered, and the
rebels have been routed in recent
battles, with great losses.
The revolution in Cuba is still i'm

command of the patriot army, and
has defeated the Spanish forces re-

The Thirteenth General
Assembly

Adjourned on the 18th inst. Along
with much needless legislation, il
has accomplished much that is good
The State Register, in giving it the
Parting word, says it has "made fol
itself the reputation and name of the
Talking Legislature" Whatever OF
censure may be implied in this
epithct certainly cannot attach to
the Members from this County. We
have watched the record of Senator
Cathcart and Representatives Dur
ham and Keables as closely as the
daily Reports would allow. In sew.
eral cases their votes have not been
such as we could have agreed to; but
we accord them the full and highest
praise of having done their duty as
they saw and believed. One at a
distance cannot perceive the bear
ings Of things, and the arguments for
and against various propositions, SO
fully rs if he were in the Assembly
himself, of course; and hence, in the
matters wherein our views could not
agree with those of the Delegation
from this County, they may have
really the advantage upon a full
knowledge of the facts.
On the review of the record, Marion
County will be pleased with her
Members. They have not been
leaders in the Assembly; for no man
can be a leader in his first term. If
we would assert in the Assembly
that weight and power to which our
population entities US, it is not
enough alone that we select good
men to represent us:-having selected
good men, we must keep them there.
In their first term they will "learn
the ropes;" in their second they can
do more.
Messrs. Cathcart, Durham and
Keables, we welcome you home
again. You will not be "caned"
here, nor "silver-serviced," nor
'chaired," nor anything Of that
kind, as is the fashion at the Capital;
but you will resume your business
avOcatiOns with the utmost kind

CONCRESSIONAL.

See second page Of this paper for
very full report Of late Congressional
proceedings.
In the Senate on the 18th Senator
Sumner introduced new bill to
abolish the Franking Privilege, &C.,
intending it - a substitute for bills
now pending.
The House on the same day finally
disposed of the Deficiency bill, which
then went to the President. a lnrge
number of other bills disposed of;
and the House adjourned till Mon
day.
Mr.. Loughridge has introduced in
Congress bill for the equalization
of soldiers bOunties. 1t is similar,
we believe, to one introduced some
time ago; and provides that every
soldier, who served not less than q
month and was honorably dis
charged, shall receive Il sum which
shall make up, with what bounty he
has already received, an aggregate of
bounty that will average ss.33 per
month for his entire term of service.
The bill was referred to the Military
Committee.
The Senate on Monday passed q
bill amending the act for the protec-
ton of the rights of settlers on public
lands.
The House, same day, passed bill
fixing the Congressional representa-
ton from existing States ut 275.--
The new Tariff bill has been the
great subject of discussion lately.

The Gate CtY says that the Legis-
lature did "@2 most ungenerous and
reprehensible thing" in neglecting
to select Democrats for some of the
positions lately filed by the Joint
Convention. Is it so? Why? "Dem-
ocrats pay their taxes" &C., &C.,
urges the Gate city. True; but they
do so not as Democrats but as citi-
zens. And not as Democrats but as
citizens are they duly represented by
the officials chosen. In what way
are they wronged? 1t is not urged
that their interests as citizens will
not be duly represented by the Off
cials chosen-but they are "deprived
of patronagev' What claim have
they to "patronagew This "patron.
apen is much abused word; but is
it not Democratic one? Has not
the sentiment "To the victors belong
the spoils" most Democratic origin:
and have not Democrats as party
most religiously lived up to it when.
ever and wherever they had the
chance? Let them do the grumbling
now, if they want to. The Gate city
itself gives very full and sufficient
reason and ground for the action il
condemns, when it says:
And as one District, all being near.
ly unanimously Republican, would
not yield to make its Commissioners
! a Democrat, so another District
would not, and the result was the
appointment OF q Republican In
EACH"
Why should the people or their
Representatives, being overwhelm'
ingiy Republican, choose Democrats
TO do their work and draw the pay!
| It would doubtless be most blissful
