Yesterday afternoon lively scene occurred In
the Navy Department yard, occasioned by oficer
Bayly attempting to arrest an Irish laborsr,
named David Crowley, employed on the new
State Department building, for indecent ex-
posture of his person. On the officer attempting
10 arrest him, he struck Bayly several times.
But not mndng this, the orilcer again caught
hold OF him, when pitched battle took place be-
tween the two. Onlcer ROsenbury, on duty on
the opposite side OF the street, seeing the fracas
ran to Baylys assistance, when the man became
more desperate, and struck out right and left
until Bayy succeeded In placing his nppers on
one Of his wrists, which had the effect OF con-
trolling one arm. Finding that he was likely to
be overpowered, he laid down on the grass, and
the ofiicers were obliged to drag him. By this
time his comrades rushed at the Officers, and en-
deay0red to release Crowley, but all To no effect.
They followed the officers 10 the station, max ny
every effort TO release their friend. lie was
finally secured In the lookup, and few moments
thereafter three OF his companions were also ar
rested and placed IN cells. The affair created
the widest excitement about the Navy Depart
ment, aud the bravery OF the Officers was
strongly commended.

SLEEPING IN A Cold RooM.-HdU'

SLEEPING IN A COLD RooM.-HaWs
Journal of Heath says that cold bed
chambe always imperil health and in
vite fatal diseases. Robust persons may
safely sleep in a temperature of forty or
under, but the old, the infant and the
frail, should never sleep in room where
the atmosphere is much under fifty de-
grees Fahrenheit.
All know the danger of going direct
into the cold from very warm room.
Very few rooms, churches, theatres and
the like, are ever warmer than seventy
degrees. If it is freezing out of doors it
is thirty degrees-the difference being
forty degrees more. Persons will be
chilled by such change in ten minutes,
although they may be actively walking.
But to lie still in bed, nothing to pro-
mote the circulation, and breathe for
hours an atmosphere Of forty and even
fifty degrees, when the lungs are always
at ninetyeight, is too great a change.
Many persons wake up in the morning
with Inflammation of the lungs who went
to bed well, and are surprised that this
should be the case. The cause may of
ten be found in sleeping in room the
window of which had been foolshly
hoisted for ventilation. The water-cure
journals of the country have done an in
calculabe injury by the blind and indis-
criminate advice Of hosting the window
at night.
The rule should be, everywhere, during
the part of the year when fires are kept
burning, to avoid hosting outside win
dows. 1t is safer and better to leave the
chamber door open, as also the fire place
then there is a draft up the chimney,
while the room is not so likely to become
cold. If there is some fire in tho room
all night the window may be opened an
inch. 1t is safer to sleep in bad air all
night with a temperature under forty.
The bad air may sicken you but cannot
kill you; the cold air can and does kill
very often.
