CUNDURANGo The opinion of the
prominent medical men of Washington,
based upon the trials made with -scun-
durango" in cases of cancer, is thatthe
article is totally valueless, and possesses
no medical proprieties whatever
The official report Of DR. Morris,
United States army, to- whom the Sur
geon General gave the supply he received,
sustalns this opinion. His patient died.
The case treated by the navy surgeons
died. A supply was sent to medical
gentleman at Gettysburg, who treated
one of his patients with it. The patient
died. Other cases that are now under
treatment arc rapidly failing. Indeed,
there is not one single instance of case
of verified cancer that has been benefited
10y it, Any reported cases OF cure are
altogether unreliable, and are simply
made in the interest of parties who have
gone into the speculation of importing
the article and are DESTROYS of making
money at the expense Of the principle.
DR.. Squibb, vt Brooklyn, in letter sent
To the Navy Department, stamps the
whole thing as sharp commercial spec
ulation. In his review of the certificates
which accompanied the sample sent to
the State Department he fully exposes
the fraud with which they are stamped
ON their face
/ report IS shortly expected from the
committee appointed by the Medical
Society of the district, which will give
the official account Of all the cases that
have been treated by medical gentlemen
upon whose veracity any reliance can be
placed.

SCHOOL OF MINEs--The founding and
endowment of National School OF
Mines III some enc of the mining States
or Territories is pubic necessity
There has been large falling off in the
production of gold ana silver in the
United States for several years. Chea D
and economical production of bullion Is
national necessity. Every branch of
industry, except mining for gold and
silver, receives more or less encourage.
mtnU from the Government of the United
States Large grants of land are made
for Sthe establishment of Agricultural
Schools and Colleges. Why not grant
lands for the establishment Of National
School OF Mines? Our metalnrgists and
mining engineers should be educated in
the very midst Of our mines. Our Ma
tlOnal Government hitherto has pursued
a pound foolish and penny wise policy
In regard to this subject. It is high time
that an enlightened and liberal policy in
segard TO our mining industry should be
adopted Who will move In this matter
and present the subject before the Con-
gross Of the United States? Who will be
the champion Of the mining industry of
the land in the National Council? Shall
there be a united effort on the part Of
miners and mine owners throughout the
bullion producing States and Territories
to induce the Congress of the Nation to
pass wise and liberal laws to encourage
our mining industry ? We trust that this
matter will be discussed by the press,
ma that a National School Of Mines
will nc established in some one Of the
mining States or Territories at no very
distant day in the future C0J9rudo Miner.

Mr.. Brown of Sangamon county, Ill.,,
President of the State Agricultural Society,
is doing something really extraordinary His
wheat harvest occurred so early this year that,
after it was over, and the wheat had been
removed from the field where it grew, he at
once plowed under the stabble and planted
the ground in corn, which is now up, and
of gathering bountiful crop of corn there
from this tail. This is remarkable-a crop of
corn from the same ground in one season.

How TO KEEP CooL.-A correspondent
furnishes the London Times with thl
following hints, which will be found
pertinent to our own climate: @
In these hot days cool apartment is q
real luxury, to be had far oftener than
most people suppose possible The
secret consists, not in letting IN cool air,
for naturally all do that whenever they
have the chance, but in keeping out the
hot air. If the air outside room or
house be cooler than the air inside, let it
in by all means; but if it be hotter, care
fully keep it out. na
A staircase window left open during
the night will often cool the passages Of
d house, and The rooms, too, if the doors
be not shut but it must be closed at
eight or nine o'clock in the morning, or
It on the sunny side at four or five o'clock,
and the blind drawn down The mis-
take people generally make is to throw
open the window at all hours of the day,
no matter whether tie atmosphere be
cool or scorchitg
Let US have some air say they, and in
comes the treacherous brecze-for even
hot air is pleasant while it is gextlg
blowing, taking away PRECIPITATION and
there by cooling the skin but the apart
ment is made warmer instead Of cooler
and as soon as they move out of the
draught they find their room to be more
uncomfortable than before.
Let in the cool air-keep out hot
that is the only formula to insure the
minimum of discomfort. Sitting rooms
may g nerally be KEEP cool during tile
whole day if the door be only opened
for ingrtss and egrcss, and the windows
kept clo.ed and shielded from direct
sunshine by blind IF the atmosphere
Of room he impure from any. cause, let
it be renewed; hof air is less injurious
than bad air II the room be small in
comparison 10 the number Of persons en-.
gagged in it, free ventilation becomes in
diSp. nsable
In Il cnoklng apartment the tempera
furc will probably be higher than out
side, hence the free admission Of even hot
4lr will be desirable. If the persons 10
not object 70 sit in u direct ,lraught Of
air. windows and doors may be opened,
a breeze being more refreshing, even
though several egrees warmer than still

stances rom should be kept closed ae
much as possible until after shutdown, or

A slick mine at Lantern Hill, Mystic, Conn.,,
has been in active operation for nearly year.
and is now making profitable returns. The
fnest of the slick brings forty dollars a ton.
The two mills of the Company turn out an
average daily product of twenty tons. Nine
heavy teams are employed in carting it to
Mystic Bridge, where three coopers find oc-
cupation in setting up barrels TO transport it
in. 1t is principally sold to glass manufac-

PRUSSIAN CAMPS.

The Prussians always form their camp in the
shape OF square, whatever may be the
strength obliged to bivouac. Their brigades,
divisions and army corps are distinguished by
electric beacons, or ordinary lights, covered
with white or many-colored glassses the OBJ
ject OF which is, first, to mark the abode of the
generals secondly, to facilitate the communi.
cation of orders emanating from those in com.
mand. This mode of Lighting might be intro
duced with advantage into the French army,
for there have been many instances, during the
late campaign. of order from headquarters
never reaching the generals ut all. The Prus-
sian camps are guarded by sentries scattered
on the wings and fronts. thirty or forty PAGES
from each other, taking care to cross each
other continually, SO as to prevent any soldier
or stranger from going out without orders, or
entering without safe conduct.
The sentinels at the outposts are generally
placed checkerwise and united to the guards,
who are placed in the manner prescribed by
Frederick the Great by little posts of cavalry
charged with Immediately informing the main
body OF any surprise The fires are lit in the
morning and let out at nightfall; no cooking is
done by the Prussians when they arrive at the
bivouac by night. There are some fires to
show the general direction of the line of sen.
tries, but they cannot be seen, the fanks on
the side which the enemy might attack being
masked by slopes. The Prussians always throw
up earthworks; they carefully avoid sounding
clarions or beating drums either in their camp
or in action. Every officer or soldier has a
whistle which enables the chiefs to perform
the different calls aud the men to give warning
of the approach Of the enemy, to call each
other. and to seek their company when they
have strayed The Prussans never use the
drum or clarion, except in a conquered coun-
try, us for example, the Mcuse.

GAMBErTA AS A BoY.-Therc is n story
told of how NJ Gambetta got his "aeil crere, 81
writes correspondent of the Daily Nc,cs:
He has lost an eye. They say so. at least
and certainly there is something queer about
one of his eyes; but, however, this is the story
When boy, Gambetta was sent by his father
to Jesuit college. where he was to be edu-
Gated. 1t would seem, little Gambetta had
even there strong dislike for .Jesuits, so he
requested his father to withdraw him from that
school His father. however not hearkening
to his request, the boy declared that if he were
not taken away by a certain day he would put
out one of his eyes. The father did not for an
instant believe the lad capable of performing
the threat, and did not give the matter second
thought However, few days afterward, he
received letter from the principal at the
school, informing him that the boy had put out
one of his eyes. The father went to see his
son, but still refused to take him home, upon
which the young Gambetta declared that unless
he did take him home, he would put out the
other eye.
Upon this, the father thought it advisable to
give in. Gambettas admirers cite this rs an
instance Of the mans precocious determination
and firmness of character; others, however,
cannot see IN it anything but an evidence of an
undiscplined and unruly spirit, which has not
improved since. Which opinion is right every
one can best settle for himself

STRANGE BEASTS IN COLORADO The
Pueblo (Col) Chieftain, says: That there ex
lists in the mountains of Colorado beasts aud
animals unknown 10 the devotces of science,
there cannot be the least shadow of a doubt
We have just learned of trapper on the
Grcenhorn. stream about twenty miles south
Of Pueblo. who. while hunting recently for elk
and deer. saw n strange animal. ut the sight of
which he was not only astonished, but at first
caused him great fear. The hunter was. how
ever in position that afforded him protection,
and, after the frat surprise, and he had gained
an assurance of his safety. he watched the
beast, aud the following is the description he
gives Of the thing: a. 1t was larger than an OK.
and Of hind Of mousc-color. with skin varied
with light stripes. similar 10 those Of a zebra
It's head favored that of rhinoceros, but
much larger. and 1t had bushy tail like that
of a fox" The animal fed on grass. weeds,
etc, and finally disappeared. crossing the
creek and going up Ia the mountains, where it
is likely the brute has n habitaiion of some
Kind. The next day our informant examined
the tracks Of this sIngular.lookiug animal and
found them to be like those of horse, but n
great deal larger. We cannot but believe the
assertions OF the trapper To be entirely true,
as the whole story is fully corroboratcd by Mr..
Matthew Riddlebarger. who lives in that neigh
borhood. aud who has seen the same beast, or
one like it. We learn that posse of gentle
men are now in pursuit of this seeming mon
strosity. who are determined to capture or kill
the animal
