do LEWIS ADVICE TO A COLD
FOATED LADY.

Madam, allow me to prescribe for you.
have had long experience in the man
aeement of delicate women, and l
believe can give some important advice.
For the present prescribe only for your
feet:
l. Procure a quantity of wooden stock
ings-not such as you buy at the stores un-
der the name of lambs wool, that you can
read paper through, but the kind that
your Aunt Jerusha in the country knits for
you, thick as a board, that will keep your
feet dry and warm in spite of wind and
weather.
2. If you want to be really thorough,
change them every morning, banging the
fresh ones by the fire during the night
3.-PrOcure thick, calf-skin boots,
double-uppers and triple soles, and wear
them from the first OF October till the hrst
of May. Make frequent applications OF
some good oil backing.
4.-AVoid rubbers altogether, except a
pair of huge rubber boots which may be
worn for little time through snow-drifts
or food of water.
5.-Hold the bottoms of your feet In cold
water half an inch deep just before going to
bed, two or three minutes, and then rub
them hard with rough towels and your ma
ked bands.
6. Now, madam, go out frequently IN
all weathers, and, believe me, not only VIII
your feet erjoy a good circulation, but, as
a consequence of the good circulation in the
lower extremities, your head will be re-
lieyed of all its fullness and your heart Of
its palpitation. Your complexion will be
greatly improved and your health viii be
made better in every respect.

We were heartily glad to meet our old

in the city yesterday. From the thinyouth
of fifteen years ago, when citizen OF
Nashville, he has grown 10 proportions al
most robust; so much so that he accused
us of not knowing him. His good health
and solid flesh has come from hard labor
and a good conscience. he has been for
several Years the Superintendent OF the
Georgia railroad and its branches, upon
which we believe We have never published
an accident that occasioned the death OF
passenger. :.

PosTHUNIOUs HATE.

Humphrey Jewell, who lived near Kings.
ton, New York, was very eccentric man
all his life, aud he died month ago at the
age of sixty years. He left behind him the
most eccentric act of his life il the shape
of a will which he executed the day before
his death. He was formerly a New York
Assemblyman, was a strict church men,
Der, had about $4,000 worth of property,
and cherished family feud which was
more dear to him than legislative honors,
church, money or family. While he was
rigidly religious, he was also good hater,
and the source OF mis- most cherished hate
was in religious matters. He was Presi-
dent of Church ConsistorY, and presid ed
at the disciplining of bis sons wife's father,
who was turned out of the fold of the faith
full during his administration. The man
subsequently got back into the church, and
this SO iDcensed the good Humphrey jew
ell that it became his religious duty to hate
bis enemy till his own death, and after, IN
the provisions of his will. ss. -
NFor instance, he leaves his son and SON.
in-law of bis pet enemy the income OF $25,s
600, upon condition that said son will never
live in the same county with his wife's
father, otherwise he becomes disinherited.
He left his widow pittance, and the re-
mainder of bis estate to various charities.
The son and father-in-law first thought OF
carving out the provisions of the will in
which they were interested by building
a house across q county line-the
son to occupy one end of the house, and
the father in-law the other, This would
save the inheritance, and still make them
near neighbors, in two counties. The sec.
ond thought induced them to endeavor to
set aside the will, on the ground that the
testator was not of sound mind when hi
made it. They could not very well dis
pute the strength of his memory in the face
of the family feud. The case is now before
the courts in Kingston.

.OrISin of Language."

A moderately sized audience assembled
at Concorda Hall last night to hear Rev.
DIR. Isador Kalish's lecture on "The Origin
of Language. and the Vocation of the Eng
lish Tongue" which subject was treated IN
a mastery manner by DR.. Kalish, whose
we'll known abilities as speaker, and repu-
tation as a scholar, should have caused every
seat in the hail to b. occupied.
The lecturer began bis disco urse, by de-
nying the divine origin of language: argu.
ing that it springs from TIE animal part OF
the human organization, and 10 support OF
this. be called attention TO the fact that
great many emotions of tie human soul are
Characteristic of animals also, and that ex-
preston is given to those emotions in
manner common to both human beings and
animals, and that every species of living be-
ing makes use of these expressions.
Not one of the living languages can be
perfectly expressed by twenty or even tWeI-
tV six letters, as in every language there
are more sounds than there are characters
10 represent them. Even the Oriental-or
Sanscrit. which is called ''the language of
,be Gods" fails to be perfect, because it has
no character to represent the short sound
IF the letters "An and "E". In this connec-
t;oa tbe speaker detailed, at length, the
difficulty experienced by white men in pub
fishing books in the written Indian tongue by
reason of the letters provided being entire
" inadequate to express all the SOUNDS
heard in the Indian language IS SPOKEN, auo
the fact that sufficient number OF letterS
are not provided for the full and accurate
representation of various languages as lhey
are spoken, he considered strong evidence
that language is not of divine origin.
The lecture throughout was OF the most
Interesting character, and was attentiyely
listened to by those fortunate enough to be
present,

Another wonderful performances Of Prof,
Donaldson, Of whom the readers Of the
Sun have heard before, was witnessed in
this city on Saturday last. All the forenoon
crowd stood about his balloon while it
was being prepared aud filed with gas.
Nothing SO absorbed tbs attention OF the
people Of this entire section as the proposed
voyage.
Prof. Donaldson is engaged in making
hazardous experiments to ascertain to what
perfection the science Of aerial 7 aVigation
can be. carried, and while 1t Is appalling to
see man risk his life with appearing wan
tonnes, it is question whether Prof.
Donaldson is SO reckless as be seems.
He has obtained q rigid mastery over
his nerves by q total abstinence from
liquor, tobacco and all excuses damaging
to bis rhysical health, and there Is no, dan
ger of bis losing his presence Of mind at any
altitude. If the balloon does not Burst,
and the aeronsut is not dashed against any
object in the attempt 10 land he is safe;
and every ascension enhances his expert
ence and knowledge in the details OF aerial
navigation. .t.~ s-5i. ~. -
Prof. Donaldson proposes to crossthe At

mer, and will go to Boston next week to
hasten arrangements for the attempt.
At 2:l5 Professor Donaldson shot up
ward, hanging fast to the trapeze and per
forming various gymnasiic feats, such as
"skinnine the vss, /" etc. His direction
was first north and then n6rtheass, and az
ter sail of one hour and half he landed
at the town of Trenton. He was in sight
of the earth twenty minutes
when he passed through the

towns, sometimes getting q glimpse Of
them through the breaks in the clouds.
In descending he met current of air which,
