|, One of the curiosties of San Do
mingo City is thus described by cor
respondent: He is a weak-minded
man of perhaps forty years of age,
who wears as few cloths as he can get
along with. He goes about town with
the vacant stare of an idiot. and if he
sees white man or stranger, he fol-
lows him slowly about the city for
hours at a time, sometimes a few
yards behind, and sometimes only a
few feet. He never says anything, but
constantly follows, as faithful and as
silent as your shadow. If YOU enter
shop he guards the door until you
come cut, when he again takes up his
line of march. If he carries a stick
or cane with him, as he frequently
does, he rubs it slowly under his nose.
from end to end. If he has no cane
he scratches hisspese. genti yEYith Ehiss

speaks Spanish; if he speaks English;
and you protest against being follow

He says not a word he merely looks
at you fixedly and polishes his nose

his hat. In your despair you appeal

chances to one that eyea eahnet make
yourself understood, and still your
shadow grins at you, and puts an ex-
ira polish on his nose. You become
frantic, you begin to think it is con-
spiracy to make you crazy. You walk
on rapidly; your friend is close be-
hind you; you rush into store, you
can hear the grating of that hat
against that nose. And what do you
think this is about? Merely this the
man is helpless and harmless idiot
who follows people about until they
give him money-five cents, ten cents,
or quarter of dollar-and then he
leaves them. He never says word,
but he has a droll prejudice against
gold: If you offer him a gold piece,
he scratches his nose and refuses it,
but he will take silver coin to any ex-

HOW TO PREVENT SICKNESS.

There are great many people who
are subject to bilious attack every
spring, and who expect il as matter
of course. The Herald of Health SAYS
there is no mere nsed fosspeopleIbeipg
thus sick in the spring than at any
IInsT pnow %s how to- E5 ihs Ase {Rs4 GnS
sickness can be prevented by simply
regulatine fhS diet.I Nor That all per-
sons who have been subject to such at
tacks, year after. year,sfor a long time,
can overcome the difficulty at once
We are all such creatures of habit, that
when any thing becomes esta blished
in this way there is strong tendency
to its return at the regular time, even
after the producing cause has ceased
to operate; consequently, in bad cases
it-sometimes takes several years to
overcome it entirely. Under proper
regimen the attacks will grow less se-
disapp asF' T = 81 Wt1TH
During cold weather people eat
larger quantities than usual of carbon
aceous food, such as fat meats, butter,
sugar, bread, cakes and other prepar-
tions of white or superfine flour, nuts,
fats, syrups, etc. Of course a much
larger quantity of carbonaceous food
is required by the system in cold wea-
ther than in warm but as general
thing people eat too much of it, clog
up their systems with the excess and
overburden the excretory organs, par
ticularly the liver, in vain efforts to
get rid of it. Those who fake great
deal of outdoor exercise are usually
! enabled to work it off, and seldom
suffer much in consequence, except in
hot weather; while those who lead a
sedentary indoor life suffer most. /
When warm weather comes on in
the spring, people require much less
carbonaceous food, but instead of
changing their diet as the weather
changes, they continue to cat the same
kind of food they have been eating
and the conseduelAie8s u + Is % that the @ Over,
burdened liver is unable to bear up
under this. extra loady yaHd utterly re-
fuses to perform its function until it
has had hapcgfQTestRiJ@ throw off
its accumulated burdens. Now. to
prevent this state of things, two things
are necessary first; people must eat
less proportion of carbonaceous food
at oil times, Second, as the. weather
grows wafine qf tai spring ithey yuhhst
cat much less quantity of it than
they do in cold weather, and substi-
tute more vegetables and acid fruits.
Every family should have large
supply of canned fruits and green
vegetables to at this time of the
year. For single article there Is
nothing SO good as tart APPLES, aud

GRANTS VERACfTY.-In his Indian
apolis speech, General Grant said that
he had no intention of coming to In
diaaapolis until he met Senator Nor
ton at Pittsburg, by whose soft per-
suasiens he was induced to make the
Indiana visit. 1t is a well-known fact
in railroad circles that two of Pull
mans fine sleeping coaches were dis
patched from Harrisburgh to Balti-
more the Saturday previous, there to
await the Presidential party. One of
them, known as President Tom Scott's
car, was assigned for Senator Morton,
and the other Cthe Jewett carr was
placed at the disposal of President
Grant. These two cars, containing
the royal and San Domingo party, left
Baltimore on Thursday night at ten
O'Clock, and in due time arrived at
Pittsburg Jointly. 1t was here that
Grant says he first met Morton, hav-
ing travelled with him from Washing
ton in the Pullman cars, and there it
was from the time they started at
Washington that the Indiana visit was
"cooked up."-Cin. Eaq.

TIE HoOsAC TUNNEL---SCIENTIF
EXACTNESs

The central shaft of the Hoosac
Tunnel, costing half million of dol
lars, has been completed to the grade
natural surface-a labor of fifteen
months. The shalt being at grade
necessitates, probably, the most deli
cate and responsible professional act
an engineer may ever expect to meet,
it being necessary to lay down line
less than tWenty-seven feet in length
at the bottom of dripping dark shaft,
l,030 feet deep, SO that both ends of
with the terminal points of the tun-
mel, each being distant over 12.000 feet
from the center of the shaft.
!. To increase tho initial difficulty, the
top of the shaft is on the top of n rug
ged mountain, from ], 800 to 1,S00 feet
above the grade of the tunnel at its
termini. 1t is no light responsibility
TO assume charge of this operation
iRhe State of Massachusetts has had
manufactured a colossal transit instru-
ment of the most elaborate and per-
fectlconstruction, costing $4,000. The
most accurately verified lines have
been laid down oyer the mountain,
extending long distances beyond in
both directions to the tops of neigh
boring mountains. BY the accuracy
of this instrument and its manipula-
ton the line of twenty-seven teet (the
transverse diameter of the shaft) will
be permanently defined, requiring
wonderful eXactness, and from its ex-
tremities the "plummet alone can
reach the bottom of the shaft. These
plummets must of necessity be
weighty and beautifully poised, and
viii require to he suspended in oil TO
produce perfect rest and protection
from the faintest vibration of the air.
The most delicate cords consistent
with strength, must be used to sus-
pend them, and after all is done that
science can suggest (being perfect as
any intelligent mind can
understand how delicate and fraught
with danger is the practical part of
the operation to the engineer, and
what grave effects the slightest error
wonld produce on so small base as
twenty-seven feet 1t is quite posi-
bic the motion of earth may effect the
plummets more or less; but this point
has not been thoroughly investigated.

ELOQUENT APPEAL.

The Hon. Samuel S. Cox concluded
his speech on the Ku KIax bill, in the
following eloquent appeal to the Rad
ical majority to desist from their
bloody work:
By all the lessons have culled from
history by the graces which have
pacified nations heretofore, by the
perils of smothered revenge and se-
cret circles which l denounce by our
homes and institutions; by all that is
ennobling in thought and ignoble in
mere force, ask you not to tempt the
coming party by such excesses of
power. Do not teach us bloody in
structions! Lead us not into tempta-
ton! You need not perceive that
your shroud and grave are making.
You need not put your. ear. to the
earth to hear the tramp of the coming
Democracy, for you must have felt
that the constant neglect of urgent
duties here, as to taxation, commerce,
and amnesty, are demoralizing and
destructive. l pray you to pause on
the brink. This legislation will re-
bound. Save us the horrors which
follow such inconsiderate tampering
with our traditional and written Lib
critics. Save yourselves, if not your
country. You have in your ranks
men of splendid reputation and abili-
ty. Many have left and are leaving
you W h m you were once
proud to claim. In their honor do
not cut your blossoms of the past off
from the parent stem. Save the coun-
try as band of States, not as ban
ditti of rowing mercenaries of Paris
Reds. make my prayer to God for
that mercy which we shall need in the
hour when the execution of such a
vindictiye law as this is executed by
the will of an absolute dictator, at the
behest of party. l make my appeal
to you for the Constitution we are
all sworn to support. It may be that
our Constitution is like what some
one says of the sword of the Black
Prince, too heavy to be welded by
the pigmies of our time but if it is
only relic in the sanctuary. let it be
an object to revere for what it was if
not term for what it is-honorable
in its rust. if not in its edge.
