How inconsistent is human nature. Menwho caLry
revolvers to protect themselves against ruiilans
in well polished cities, where the precaution is
unnecessary, often neglect to fortity their syS-
TENS against disease in the most unhealthy sea-
sons. Thousands ofdyspeptlcs and other lnva'-
ids are ow languishing in sick rooms, or teebly
and listlessly moving through our streets, who
owe their torlorn condition solely to want OF
common prudence. Far more ininiical than the
roughs and rowdies, against whose possible at
tacks the timid arm themselves, are the morbid
elements that pervadc the atmosphere mt this
time of the year, and yet, although
it is an undenied and undeniable fact that Hos
letters Stomach Bittcrs afford more perfect
protection against these causes OF disease than
any weapon of offence can afford against lawless
violence the reckless and lnconsidcratc contln-
ue to brave the danger with positive safeguard
within their reach.
Every day, however, the number OF these
martyrs to their own want of forecast diminish
es. Each succeeding season demonstrates more
clearly the nestimable value of the Bitters, both
as an antdote for the causes of disease, and u

RIVER NEwS.--The river still continues
completely covered with ice, with the excep-
ton of narrow track in the channel which is
kept open by the passing steamers. The Geo.
H. Stout, of the Philadelphia line. arrived
Yesterday from Georgetown. The lronsides,
of the Aqua Greek line, went down this morn
ing on her regular trip and but little behind
time, and took the mail and express matter,
which for several preceding days had been car
ried by railroad. The tug boat Potomac
started down this morning to bring up the
three PUNCHES ice bound in Quantico. The
steamer +. G. Knight which arrived here day
before yesterday and went on ur, experienced
great difficulty in traversing the ice above the
Long Bridge, and was eight hours in getting
from Easby's Point to Georgetown. She re-
turned this morning, and after coaling here
proceeded GU her way to New York. The
Norwich steamer, Utility, damaged by the ice
on her way up last Tuesday, is undergoing re-
pairs. and will start on her return next Mon
day The John Gibson, for this city, will start
from New York next Saturday The keyport
arrived up from Aqua Creek about two clock
this evening, and reports the Ice as sottening,
but as extending down the river for distance
of seventy miles below this city.

out of nearly one million tons of coal received
by canal in 1871 less than fifty thousand tons
passed on TO Alexandria,"

ion against any recognition of sex in crime.
A woman murderer, convicted after fair
trial, must be regarded and treated precisely
as a man in the same condition; the fact
that she is a woman must in no case blind her
judges to the fact that she is murderer, or
avail so much as feathers weight to pre-
serve her from the full sentence of the law.
And if to hang women be repugnant to the
spirit of modern civilization, as seems clearly
to be the case, let that fact also be recog-
nized on the statute books, but let suitable
penalty be substituted and impartially en-
forced. No law is better than law habtu-
ally overridden no class is so dangerous to
the public welfare as a class which feels
itself to be privileged for evil. Neither that
indulgent galantry which is part of social
education, nor that deeper feeling of rever-
ence for womanhood inherent in the blood
of Northern races, must blind us to the truth
that women can and do commit the most
atrocious crimes, and that bad women are
even more dangerous, as they are more re-
voting, than bad men. Until we give earn
est and practical enforcement Of this truth
in our murder trials, our laws against homi-
eide might as well, so far as real justice is
concerned, be repealed at once.-Nec York

Those Connecticut Town Flee.
lions.

In their anxious search for possible crumbs
Of comfort, the Greeleyites have tried to cheat
their readers into the belief that the Con-
necticut town elections showed large Demo-
cratic gains. And ON this point the New
Haven Palladium says: EVEN were this the
case it would be matter of the very slight
est consequence, so far as the vote of next
month is concerned. But the facts are very
different from what they represented them to
be. Official returns from the town clerks of
l55 towns show that the Republicans have
carried 60, the Democrats As, and 81 have
elected mixed tickets, by far the larger por-
ton having majority of Republican officers
Corrected returns give nine towns, which
were Democratic last year, as gained by the
Republicans, viz: Bethlehem, Cromwell,
Ledyard, Madison, Newtown, North Haven
Sprague, Plymouth, and Vernon. Five towns,
which last year were Republican or mixed,
are this year Democratic, viz: Andover,
Bethel, Danbury, Naugatuck, and Wilton.
There is not an intelligent Democrat in the
State but knows that his party was never in
a feebler or more disorganized condition, and
all the Dragging in the world will not per-
suadc them to the contrary. Orders were
given from the Liberal Committee to tele-
graph gains, with the hope of influencing the
elections in the States which voted on Tues
day, but now that they have voted, it is a
waste of perverse ingenuity to try to keep up
the deception"

A Mexican Circus.
A Full-Fledged Mexican Circus and "a DrOv,
of wild Bulls in Brooklyn.

Our readers must have noticed for some
days past 4 caravan passing through the
streets, from the interior of which brass
band thundcrs forth strange melodies with
much braying of brazen instruments, while
behind the powerful wagon squad of
strangely-clad horsemen gallop to and fro in
single file, wearing the scrapes and huge
sOmbreros of the Mexican vaqucro, Or cattle
herdsmen. These men ride small, but vigor-
Gus and fleet, mustang ponies, and are the
most daring hOrsemen probably that ever
visited New York city. Yesterday, at the
Capitoline grounds in Brooklyn, the Mexican
circus company exhibited in presence of a
small, but select, audience. Thosewh have
read Mayne Reid's highly hunt
ing novels may have formed some idea of
what these hardy vaquerOs of the debatable
land on the Texan and Mexican frontiers can
do in the way of riding, with or without sad
die. AS it is, it is necessary to see the per-
Torrance to understand it. There are nine
horsemen in the company, who have all been
bred in Mexico and Texas from childhood,
the principal of whom are named Thomas,
an American-Mexican; Morosco, Carquiero,
KOssuth, and Lopez. Thomas was the chief
ranchero for President Benito Juarez, who
had ninety farms in the sister Republic, and
he is certainly one of the most expert horse
at headlong speed on his fiery mustang he
stopped, without stopping his speed, and
picked up white handkerchief from the
grass. Leon then was the next to appear
on the scene. A savage and enraged Texan
bull was brought forth, and Leon success
fully threw the lariat over his horns and
brought him up standing on his hind legs,
although he made desperate efforts to gore
the spectators, who ran wildly out of his
reach. Then Leon jumped on his back, rode
him around the grounds to the BULBS utter
discontinue, and all the while smoked Ha-
vana cigar with the greatest GOODNESS posi-
BILE. Carquiero threw wild mustang COM
plete somerset by the tail while the latter
was going at full speed-a most astonishing
feat. Four of the riders, while going at a
speed that made the spectators dizzy, in the
twinkling of an eye drew up in an even line,
the mustangs painting and endeavoring to
break loose from the inevitable grasp of their
riders. A smart pony, with as many tricks
as Ben Butler possesses, was lassocd by the
riders and brought up standing. Then there
was a pony race to see who should own the
odd steer, as it is customary with vaqueros
in Mexico, and no such speed has ever been
seen on race track in America as was made
in squirt of three-guarters of mile by these
wonderful horsemen yesterday. 1t is pity
that these splendid hOrsemen and bull riders
and bull tanners could not have an opportu-
nifty to exhibit at Jerome Park or at Prospect
Park, where large assemblage of both sexes
might have an opportunity to witness their
uneXampled feats of craftsmanship. AS it is,
they can remain but few days at the Capt.

A Vast Corruption Fund.

We have heard much of the infamy of using
so much money in elections. Mr.. Greeley
has made it 4 standing accusation against the
Republicans that they were using vast sums
of money to re-elect Gen. Grant; and some
of his friends have not hesitated to say that
the national treasury was made to suffer to
meet the extraordinary drain. Knowing how
grossly exaggerated were the statements as
to the amount of money spent by the Repub-
lican State and National Committees we have
| from time to time given statements and facts
to disabuse the public mind. Judge of our
utter amazement, in view of such facts, upon
hearing that the Democracy have raised two
millions and half of dollars, to be used in
the remaining days of the campaign in the
clOsely-contested States! That we are not
indulging in random statement, based upon
Republican gossip or idle rumOr, we give our
authority, the Washington correspondent of
that old and well-known Greeley journal, the
Lynchburg VUginian. In a lengthy letter,
well-written, and in which he affects to speak
by authority, he says:
1.-TWO millions and half of dollars have
already been raised, and, am assured, will
be expended only where it is most needed,
and livery properly, only for promoting the
success of the Presidential ticket. Candi-
dates for minor offices will have to look for
money elsewhere than to the fund in the
hands of the Liberal and Democratic Ma
tional Committees"
Where has this fabulous sum come from
For what is it to be used? Does any one
suppose that twentieth part of that sum can
be used honestly and fairly in promoting the
election of Mr.. Greeley? 1t is time, indeed,
for alarm when it is thus unblushingly stated
that millions of dollars have been raised to
control the elections of this country in the in
terests of the Democracy Chronicle.

Open windows.

1t is poor plan to sleep in room, the
windows Of which are open, on a cold, Or
damp night. Very much has been written on
this subject, and written unwisely; the facts
are that whoever sleeps uncomfortably cool
will get sick. To open window when the
mercury is at zero, is an absurdity. The
colder sleeping apartment is, the more I'M
healthy does it become, because cold con-
denses the carbonic acid formed by the breath
ing of the sleeper. 1t settles near the floor,
and is rebreathed, and if in very condensed
form, he will die before the morning. Hence,
we must be governed by circumstances. The
first thing is, you must be comfortably warm
during sleep, otherwise you are not refreshed,
and inflammation of the lungs may be engen-
dered, and life destroyed within few DAYS.
An open door and an open fireplace are suf.
ficent for ordinary purposes in very cold
weather. When outer windows are opened,
it is we'll to have them down at the top two
or three inches, and up at the bottom the same
space. In miasmic ATTITUDES, particularly
it is most important to sleep with all external
doors and windows closed, if there is the least
perceptible dampness in the atmosphere
otherwise, they may be left open in the man
ncr above mentioned.
