WHEN DO MEN DIE ?-Medical experience
proves that, in chronic diseases, the greater
number of deaths occur just before dawn.
This is eminently true Of brain diseases, and
of all those related cases when death results
from an exhaustion of the vital power, through
overwork, excessive excitement, or nervous
prostration. 1t is at the hour of o'clock in
the morning that the life-force is at its lowest
ebb, and succumbs readily to the assault OF
epilepsy, or paralysis, or Of the fatal lethargy
that comes in those vividly beautiful picture
dreams, for which medical science has as yet
found no name, and Of which it has taken no
sufficient cognizance Nine.tenths OF those
who die in this way expire in their sleep. In
MANY such cases, if friend were at hand to
awaken the sleeper when the attacks comes on,
or if he were to be awakened by some acci-
dental noise, he might, by the use ofa few
simple precautions, prolong his life for many
wears for the shock which proves fatal to the
man wrapped in deep sleep, when the system
is passive and relaxed, would be victoriously
repelled we're it armed with all its waking en-
ergies. Men who do brain-work, and who are
on the shady side Of forty, should be on their
guard against this insidious enemy. They
Should beware of 5 o'clock a. m, for it is a
perilous hour. Do you find yourself unable
to sleep when you retire for the night, exhaus-
ted with your days work? DO you, in vain,
turn from one side to the other? Does your
brain persist in working when you would fain
have it rest? Do old saws, and scraps of
rhyme, repeat themselves in your memory with
wearisome iteration, defying your utmost ef.
forts to silence them Then, say to you,
beware! You will be sure to sleep at last.
1t is only question Of time for, soon or late,
nature will assert her rights.

they liked to take their daily drive without

The pony-carriage was just suited to their

Mr.. Wright's, and they either stopped for
a pleasant call two or three times week, or
took Ellen home with them for the day. Then
there was the choir meeting every Saturday

formerly.
One evening Ellen rode over on horseback,

The LEGENDARY HISTORY OF CH1cAMAU-
aA.-Chicamauga is the name Of large and
beautiful creek, which rises among the noun
tains of north Georgia, and flowing in north
erly direction, falls into the Tennessee river
few miles above Chattanooga.
The name is of Indian origin, having been
bestowed by the Cherokees who once inhabi-
ted this region. A number Of Traditions have
been handed down as to the Specification OF
the name and reason of its application to the
stream. It is variously interpreted to mean
"The River of Death" ""Dead Mans Stream,
etc. The most generally received and widely
accented, is the first, and it is said to have
been applied to denote the unhealthy charac-
ter of the country in the vicinity of the stream.
So deadly were the miasmas Of the swamps
and ponds that chills and fever were the COM
mon scourge of the Indians who lived on the
banks of the stream, and so great was the
mortality that the valley was almost depopu.
lated, and far and wide it acquired the name
of "Chicamauga," or "The River of Death"
The other tradition is that the creek formed
the boundary line between two hostile tribes
of Indians, who were at continual war with
each other. Their principle was one of exter-
mination. It was mutually understood that
any one who crossed the stream into the enc.
my's country would be butchered upon the
spot, ifcaptured. Hence, the creek acquired
the name of "Chicamauga," or Dead Mans
Creek" This is very improbable story,
since only one tribe-the Cherokees-are
known in history to have lived anywhere in
reach of the stream. If there ever was any
foundation for the story, the feud most likely
existed between certain families or sub-divis-
ions of the tribe. ...... -,,c...... ....,
From an accomplished lady of Chattanooga
who, having taste for antiquities, has gone
to the trouble to search out the true origin of
the name, we obtain a third rendering which
is claimed to be the true one. IT. this, that
the stream received its appellation solely from
the sluggish motion of its still current, and
that the word properly spelt is Chicmauga,
not Chicamauga, and means "The Dead
Stream" 1t is claimed that this is the true
Interpretation, and that the original naming
of the stream had no reference, whatever, to
an unhealthliness of the surrounding country.
On the banks of this stream the bloody bat
tie of Chicamauga was fought during the late
war. The slain lay in heaps, and dead bodies
were unburied for months In the dense thick
cts of underground. The circumstance, if no
other, should entitle Chicmauga to the appel.

A Correction.

The weekly New York Herald of July Goth has
an item of Sandwich Island news, in which,
speaking of the Legislature. it says: There
has been Appropriated $ll6, 900 for the interests
of navigation There is n slight error here. So
far from setting this sum afoat in a seryiceable
steam vessel for inter-island navigation, or invest
ing it in much-needed wharves,~ break-waters, and
other internal improvements, . in the interests Of
navigation - the Legislature has sunk SIG, 600,
in a huge hotel, the receipts of which, after de-
Quoting the running expenses, constitute a sink
ing fund, w~herewirhal to repay the bond holders.
So much for the correction.
We have said this SIG, 600 was sunk. Let
Us examine into the matter a little to prove our
assertion. The hotel will accommodate with
board and lodging not to exceed seyenty-fve per-
sons, whom we will suppose are charged three
dollars per day. Now if the hotel had been full
all the time, the investment would have been n
good one, but rs the whole number Of guests,
entertained since the opening, has fallen very
far short Of the capacity Of the building, it is not
probable that it has done more than pay it's run
ming expenses, leaving the item of interest entirely
out Of the calculation. In fact we might be in
elined to think that it had not done that, had we
not in a scrap book, . for future reference - this
statement from the Minister Of Finance.-'So
far the hotel has paid expenses and though if
he had added and interest on It's cost we
should have placed equal credence IN the supple
mental statement, yet as he did not do so, we feel
at liberty to doubt its having done more than he
CLAIMS for it.
Therefore during the nine months that the
hotel has been completed the debt has been in
creasing in magnitude simply through the pas
sive accumulation of interest, which at 9 per cent.
per annum, burdens the principal, SIG, 900, with
1880.
Now let Us start afresh with n debt OF Sl23 $50,
and allow that the hotel must run for twenty
months longer before the Legislature can be asked
to relieve it. At 9 per cent. per annum, the in
terest on this sum will amount to, in round num-
bers, SIS, 1000. Now if the hotel has forty board
ers ut 50 per day all the time for the next twenty
months. and the net profit over and above run
ming expense is % per cent. there will be just
enough funds on hand to pay the interest on the
Sl23, $50. But every day that there is not this
number in the hotel it is running behind $50, in
the item of interest. The conclusion that we ar
rive at is that when the Legislature meets twenty
months from now the hotel indebtedness will
amount To ahout cIIO OOO
