world.
-Lippincotrs Medical Times states that
preventive OF sea sickness Is to lie down; ou
1t must be in the proper direction. The sui
ferer should lie with his head towards tne
bows, when he will be, during the descent o
the ship, in position in which there Is a ten
dency to reduce the natural supply OF olooc
to the brain. On the other hand, II he re
verses his position, then the blood will have
tendency TO move from the feet to the head.
"A Washington letter of Monday says
sThe House recently passed bill allowing
the widow of General Robert Anderson, o
Fort Sumter fame, pension of fifty dollars

struck out the original bill, and agreed 10 al
low Mrs. Anderson the sum OF ten tnous""u
dollars for her future support, in consldera-

her husband at the commencement OF the
war.
2 "A telegram all the way from Bombay On
nounces the interesting intelligence that the
long-lost DR.. Livingstone has got away from
Ujiii, around which he has been fooling Tor tue
last four or five years, and is at UnyamyeToe,
and that Stanley, the Herald explorer, has lelt
him there, and he (sranley) is on his way 10
the coast with what Is called, not ironically,
we hope, '.his precious freight of news" The
whole thing looks very much like "a put up
job to lose DR.. Livingstone again or lose
Stanley again, and have another Wild hunt
around Ujljl and Unyamyembe, SO that Stan
ley may again find Livingstone or Livingstone
find Stanley, or boLn find one another. Won't
they give us rest?
Whether another candidate would be
stronger than Ar. Greeley for the purpose OF
quitting the voters opposed to General Grants
reelection; II 30, whether Mr.. Greeley would
give place to him; If not, whether anything
can be done to remove the preJudices OF cer-
tain antl-Grant voters against Mr.. Greeley ::
such are the problems for the consideration OF
which the Springfield Republican thinks It
would be desirable to have conference OF oil
the shades of opposition to General Grant, IL
believes that such conference. coupled with
generous sympathy aud consideration oa the
part Of Mr.. Greeley and his friends toward the
disappointed leaders in the Reform move
ment, would be very likely to help his cause
and prevent the almost certain fatal conse-
quences of third ticket.
The weary waiting OF Southern citizens
for the good time which has been SO long
coming, Is well described In the Vlcksburg
Herald. "a few dead menu 1t says, 'who
cannot see the Situation as it really is, may
talk and write as long as they please, but the
voting millions intend to get rid of the bayo-
nets which threaten to make desert OF the
south.n sour cilizens," it continues, "are
tired of being hurried of to prison because
secret service spy asserts that they have vio-
lated the enforcement act, or some other kin
dred measure; they are tired of seeing strang-
ers, 90 often without Intelligence or honor,
rule and rob them; they are tired OF seeing
their ploughs lying Idle. their broad acres
growing up In weeds, with poverty In the
house and the sheriff at the door," They are
ready to support Mr.. Greeley, because the
road which leads to him leads also TO the
much coveted haven of repose." With this in
view, the claptrap about dying In the last
ditchn has Lost its charm. 1t Is better to live
and to live upon dry upland. This Is wise
resolve.
Great was the controversy some time ago
over the extent of the English coal deposits.
Learned geologlsts made calculations involv.
ing some thousands of years OF further pro.
duclion, which calculations equally learned
brother geologlsts Immediately proceeded to
oyerturn, demolish and utterly re(ute with
tremendous flourish OF trumpets. 1t appears
now, however, that this battle In the dark
for it was literally nothing else-has termi-
mated In favor of those who maintained that
England's coal supply was beyond all fear of
failure within any reasonable computation of
time. New coal fields have been recently dis
covered where no mlneraogist or geologist
has placed such deposits, and In spite of prog
nostIcations that the mining engineers were
throwing time and money away. The activity
In the coal fields since 1860 has Increased
enormously. In some places the fortunate
owners have been literally ''coaled out" of
their ancient manor-houses, being compelled
to abandon what has become the centre of q
mining district. This happened to Lord Dart
mouth, In sta1ordshire, and seems likely to
be the fate of many owners of great places
At Lambton Castle, the residence of Lord
Durham, the foundations have been built up
beneath with solid masonry, at an immense
expense. Lord Htzwilllam's magnificent seat
near Rotheram, In Yorkshire, and Lord Mex
borough's, Leeds, have become the centres of
colliery system, and will probably, in another
quarter of a century, be in anything but an
agreeable neighborhood.
-Ayoung Journalist has recently written
up bis experience with travelling circus
company to which he had attached himself
for the purpose of learning, by practical
knowledge, something about life In the circus
arena. He gave himself up to menlal seryi
oes, and his purpose was known only to the
proprietor Of The show. His account of the
mode of life observed by the circus people In
dicates that with the latter, their business is
q very earnest, prosalc occupation. The
glitter and gilt and spangleS of circus life
exist only In the ring and ca the parade.
