EFFECT CT CoLoRs UPON HEALTH.-A
correspondent of the Builder states that
he had occasion for several years to eS-
anime rooms occupied by young women
for manufacturing purposes, and he has
observed that while the workers in one
room would be very cheerful and healthy
the occupants of similar room, who
were employed on the same kind of
business, were all inclined to be melan-
choly, and complained of pain in tho
forehead and eyes, were often i'll and
unable to work. The only difference
he could discover in the rooms was
that the one occupied by the healthy
workers was wholly whitewashed, and
that occupied by the melancholy work
ers was colored with ochre. AS soon
as the difference struck him he had the
yellow ochre washed off the walls and
then whitewashel. At once an im-
provemont took place i'll the health and
spirits of the occupants.

IPI WASHINGTON TERRITORY SATURDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 1872

q face bleached with terror and with
grief, caught him i'll her arms and
strained him to her, for, swift as an ar
row, the thought pierced to her heart
what might have been, but for the little
patch sof flowers, the love of which
had kept her boy safe from danger and
from death.
That night, two white and beautiful
corpses lay side by side, in the desolate
house'of Richard Winthrop; ard n
frantic mother covered their mute lips
with kisses, and gathered their shining
hair tenderly in her covetous hands.
Only little way from this house of
sorrow was another home, where Mr.
Hathaway sat, with a boy On either
knee, stroking their cheeks with ten
de1ness he had never shown before;
while Minnie hung ever the bacl, of his
chair. lie had learned new lesson.
and his grateful, softcncd heart was
saying it DER and DER. He was not q
demonstrative man; but he was not
without love for the BOYS. When he
thought how nearly he had come to los
ing them, it awokc all the fatherly love
and tenderness within him.
Mary" said her husband, and in
broken voice, as he leaned over her
chair, when she had come from putting
her precious children to bed, q have
been harsh with you and the children
always. You have been a patient wife,
and they have been good children; but
[ cant remember many loving words
from me, in return for it all. Oh, Mary,
what blessed wife and mother you
have always been. Iseeit all, tonight,
and will begin over again, please God.'
And the softered husband ran his hand
through his wife's hair, SO early thread
ed with white.
You have never meant to be un-
kind, George said his wife, leaning
her check lovingly on his hand; "only
little thoughIless, as all have been
often. But, dear, flowers are as useful
as potatoes, in their places; and, oh
what beautiful blessing they have
proven to us, my husband!"
And, after that, the little hower-patch
was kept bright with the choicest bloom,
the summer through.

WATCHES SAFE FROM CREDIroRs.-We
have known of several instances, in San
Francisco, where watches have been
taken by force OF or,trategy from the per-
son Of the debtor for the benefit Of Tie
creditor. Tie Supreme Court Of New
York, in q recent ease, decided that
time-pieces aYc not liable to execution
for debt. The New York HtruN says:
The defendant had the misfortune to
become involved in debt, and his prop
erty was handed over to receiver for
the benefit of bis creditors. In his
transfer ef property, however, he re-
fused to part With his watch. A motion
was accordingly made 10 compel him to
give up his timepiece. For the de-
fenlant it was claimed that a mans
watch was nothing moro nor less than
an article of dress, that the creditor
had no more right to take it than ones
coat. On the other hand it WAS insist
ed that watch was an article of lux
uiy, and one that should be given up
in payment of debt. After hearing the
argument, the Judge denied the mo-
ton; or, in other words to use his own
language us entered in the record of de-
cisions, "a watch is included among
the necessary articles of a debtor which
are exempt from the claims Of the cred
i.ors."

The AFRICAN FLY.-One Of the most
extraordinary facts revealed to us by
DR.. Livingstone's explorations in Africa
is that the high table land of the inter-
ior, with its rich agricultural resources,
it's noble fora, its fine temperature,
broad inland seas, and inexhaustible
stores of mineral wealth, is rendered
all but impenetrable to civilized men,
certainly beyond all reach of colonial
ton, by one of the most apparently in
significant of causcs-a fly. This ter
rible insect is little, brown, yellow
striped fly, called the tsetze, scarcely
larger than our household pests, but
whose sting is absolutely fatal. So
deadly is it's 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
come, 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 as if plague
stricken, is perfectly harmless to man.
to wild animals, to the pig, mule, ass,
and goat. Here is an achievement for
science that would bring glory to the
discoverer- the discovery of some anti
dote to the sting of this veaomous fly,
which would open the treasures of
Central Africa to the use of the world.

CONTEMPLATED CABINET CHANGES.
Correspondent New Yory Herald.i

correspondent NEW 1OrF i1eTaiu.I
WAsuIsGToN, Nov. 11.--The Boston
fire has but monentarily interrupted
the anxious discussion here of the
changes through every grade of official
position that are 10 mark the opening
of the second term of the President.
In the inferior places there will be but
little movement, but as the grade as
cends to Chief of Bureau the prospects
are brighter for the aspi,unts for place.
With respect to tho Cabinet the Presi-
dent will be to no other embarrassment
then that of satisfactorily disposing of
the retiring members without displac-
ing other officials who expect to retain
their positions. The certainty, as it is
admitted to be in the best informed
circles that all the present Cabinet, cx-
cept Secretary Delano and Attorney
General Williams, will be counted out
with the present term, makes the task
of placing such as require suitable
Offices outside the Cabinet q matter Of
difficulty. Secretary Fish is said by
his friends to desire nothing beyond
the retention of the cordial friendship
subsisting between himself and the
President, and the kind treatment of
the personal and political friends on
whom he has bestowed Offices suited to
their capacities. Secretary RobesoD,
who desires to go abroad, covets va
cant foreign mission, but will permit
none to be vacated expressly to make,
place for him; Postmaster General
Cresswell is said to be willing to take
anything that an ex-senator and Cabi-
net Minister can take with property.
There is absolutely no reliable data con-
corning the successorship to tie Cabi-
net Offices soon to be vacated by the
present incumbents, the President
evading all attempts to smoke him out
and manifesting no disposition to take
anybody into his confidence except
those Immediately concerned, it being
doubted, even by near friends, if he
has exchanged word with anybody as
yet on the subject Senator Harlan is
known to be anxious for seat at the
Council Board, and if he cannot get
the State Department, will be content
to relieve his fellow lowan at the War
Department. But the most careful in
qui1y fails to indicate anything in favor
Of his prospects, and it is known that
he is personally disfavored, and must
count on his assumed political strength
AMI palty services in the last session
and during the campaign for support
to his pretensions. But to get the
War Department he must be acceptable
to General Sherman, as the President,
with SO many to choose from, will un-
questionably be careful to put nobody
over the General-in-Chief who cannot
establish and maintain the same per-
sonal relations that exist now, and
must continue to exist, between the
heads of the War Department and the
army. The colored aspirant for Cabi-
net honors has 1act the fate that has
befallen the long line of white prede-
cessors whose % claims" and chances
were prematurely advertised by them
selves or partisans, his name. being only
mentioned with derision and his self
asserted rights repelled by the Presi-
dents friends and the local politicians
of his own color.
