Wet and Dry Bathing.

If any one in these days will exercise
in the open air so that each day he will
perspire moderately, and if he will wear
thin undergalments, or none at all, and
sleep in cold room, the functions of the
skin will suffer little or no impediment if
water is withheld for months. Indeed,
bathing is not the only way in which its
healthful action can be maintained by
those living under the conditions at
present existing. Dry friction over the
whole surface of the body, once a day,
or once in two days, is often of more
service than the application of water.
The reply of the centenarian TO the in
quiry to what habit of life he attributed
his good health and extreme longevity,
that he believed it due to rubbing
himself all over with cob every night. y
is significant of an important truth. If
invalids and persons of low vitality would
use dry friction and DR.. Franklin's "air
BATH every day for a considerable
period. we are confident they would
often be greatly benefited. Cleanliness
is next to goodness, no doubt, and a
proper and judicious use of water is to
be commended but human beings are
not amphibious. Nature indicates that
the functions of the skin should be kept
in order mainly by muselar exercise, by
exciting natural perspiration by labor !;
and, delicious as is the bath, and health
full, under proper regulation, it is no
substitute for that exercise of the body
without which all the functions become
abnormal. DR.. Nichols's FJeside Science.

A oIsoNoUs FLY.-One of the mos
extraordinary facts revealed to us by DR..
Livingstones explorations in Africa is
that the high lakeland of the interior,
with its rich agricultural resources. its
fine temperature, broad inland seas, and
ineXhaustible stores of mineral wealth, is
rendered all bnt impenetrable to civilized
man, certainly beyond all reach of colo
nization, by one of the most apparently
insignificant of causes, fly. This terri
bic insect is little brown, yellow striped
fly called the tsetze, scarcely larger than
our common household pests, but whose
sting is absolutely fatal. SO deadly is
its poison that it is said three or four
flies will kill the largest OK. Soon after
the bite which gives little or no pain,
staggering and blindness comes On the
body swells to an enormous size the
coat turns rough, and in few hours
follow commissions and death. And yet
this deadly poison under the effect of
which the horse and OK, the sheep and
the dog fall rs if plague stricken, is per-
fectly harmless to man, to wild animals,
to the pig, mule, ass and goat Here is
an achievement of science that would
bring glory to the discoverer-tha dis
covery of some antidote to the sting of
this venemous fly, which would open the
treasures of Central Africa to the use of
the world.

The DoG,-Mr. Henry Bergh, has
written n letter protesting against the
muzzling of dogs during this hot wealth
er. When we consider that the dog per-
spires only through the mouth, and is
no more liable to hydrophobia in hot
than in cold weather, we cannot help
thinking the objection well taken. W,
believe that actual hydrophobia is very
rare, and that when it does occur it is
generally the result Of unwise treatment
of the animal.

JAMES RIVER GEASITE.-This article, which
has long been celebrated, and always stood
we'll in both foreign and domestic markets,
has lately attracted an unusual share Of at
tention by reason of the awarding of the
contract for building the State Department
and other buildings to Colonel Ordway.
This gentleman has a very large force en-
gagged in quarrying the stone, and we have
heretofore noticed operations at the head
quarters, opposite Rockets, where large
force is engaged in dressing the stone and
fitting it for market.
At the PoWhite quarries, about four miles
from Manchester, force Of convicts, some
fifty in number, is engaged in breaking the
granite into square blocks for paving pur-
poses. The force is under the general super
vision of Mr. Hall. The quarry is worked
by Il company from Philadelphia. Mr.. Ben
iamin Owen has lately erected comfortable
quarters for the convicts. offices, warehouse,
and storeroom for the company, and Pow
hite bids fair to become in time ilollrishing
village. The company have contracted for
one hundred more convicts, who will be put
to work as soon as suitable accommodations
can he found for them.
In addition to the above. there are various
other quarrics being worked in the vicinity Of
town. Several farms have recently been pur-
chased solely for the purpose Of procuring
the granite. and parties are continually pro-
spectin- in the ncighborlood. and crc long,
from present appearances, the granite trade
will equal if not excel in value that Of Goa!
and other principal subtcrrancan products.
RELIGIOUS NoTEs.-Dcspiteth the bad weather
and worse walking, quite a number Of per-
SONS attended the sermon before the Sabbath
school at Tic Methodist church and tie young

| MESDING A BREAK.--'rhc Chief Of Police
