Taking Cold.

Prof. Rosenthal gives the following
explanation of the pathogenic action OF
exposure to cold: Suppose an individ-
ual to have been subjected to an ele-
waited temperature, such as that of ball
room or theater, or to have engaged in
violent muscular exercise the cutane-
Gus vessels are dilated, and in state
more or less akin to paralysis, and in all
cases more slow to- contract than usual.
If at this moment the same person be ex-
posed abruptly and without any inter-
mediate transition to low temperature,
especially to current of cold air, con-
siderable loss of heat will be observed
upon the surface of the body. The blood
which has been thus cooled externally
comes back into the internal organs and
cools them suddenly, which circum-
stance alone may, in an organ predis-
posed to'disease, become the active cause
OF some severe malady. The cutaneous
vessels, on their part, become contract
ed, driving out the blood which they
contained. and thus produce kind of
hyper@mla, which in itself may exercise
morbid action. This cause, however,
IS usually only an accessory one, at least
in cases where the temperature has been
much elevated. The vessels have lost
their tenicity, and do not contract sud-
denly. But if the danger from collat-
eral hyper@mia is thus diminished, that
from refrigeration is increased.

Popularity Of the Waters of Lake
Tahoe.

We believe it is a well-estabhshed fact
that the bodies of PRISONS drowned in
Lake Tahoe have never been recovered.
the clear cold waters of the lake abso-
lutely refusing to give up their dead
This circumstance, which at first thought
appears strange, is accounted for upon
the hypothesis that the waters at the
bottom of the lake are SO icy cold as ac-
tually to arrest decomposition and con
sequent expansion Of dead body, one
of the conditions under which it would
be expected to return to the surface.
Whether the victims who repose at the
bottom OF the pellucid waters of this
far-famed lake undergo petrifaction, or
are transformed into mermen and mer-
maids, is a. secret which will never be
known until they come to the surface at
the summons of Gabriel's trump. Gold

Rev. DR.. Stone, of San Francisco,
speaks truthfully as follows "The
newspaper is more feared to-day in Con-
gressional halls and the high places of
corruption and villainy than laws and
courts, the stings of conscience, and the
thunder of Divine wrath. God is a
great way off, and the Judgment waits :;
but the ubiquitous reporter thrusts his
sharp gaze into all covert and hidden
schemes, and in an unerring detective. The
pestilent spy will tell all he sees, tell it
on the house tops, print for nation of
readers. Good Give us more of this (!
Long live the reporter Let every man
VINO meditates a little piece of gainful
fraud understand he is 'shadowed at
each step by this unbought espionage,
and though he may not be converted.
he will be restrained"

Thirty Years Lost and Found.

The two Canadian cities. Montreal
and Quebec, have romance to share
between them. Thirty years ago this
summer 3-year-old boy was left with
out his nurse to play upon his fathers
doorstep in the latter city, and when
his parents searched for him he was nc
where to be found. Detectives were
placed on his track, advertisements were
inserted in the journals, and rewards
were offered, but the little wanaerer
could not be found, and his family have
since mourned him as dead. The father
of the child was named Richards, and
friend of his recently visiting Montreal.
and having occasion to buy hat, went
into the store OF halter named Rich-
mond. The resemblance of the proprie
tor to his friend at home struck the pur
chaser, and he questioned him concern
ing his history. The man said that
when child he had been stolen from
Quebec by an Indian woman whom he
had regarded as his mother, until on her
death-bed she confessed her act, and
gave him name as near like that his
father bore as she could remember.
After the squaw's death the youth tried
TO md his parents, but bearing differ
ent name, and having but vague clue.
he was unsuccessful, and settled himself
down TO the business in which he was
found. The mother came on TO Mon.
treal, and by certain birth-marks
strawberry mark, perhaps-identifed
him as her son, which is the latest de-
velopment OF the romance up to date.

A Great Railroad Sold.

A sale OF railroad property in Cali
fornla, which is said to have been re-
Gently effected, is one of the most gigan-
tic private financial operations which
has ever occurred in this or any other
country. Four-fifths of the extensive
lines and vast properties of the Central
Pacific California Railroad Company
has been sold to the Southern Pacific
road, OF which Tom Scott is the head.
The Central Pacific owns more lines of
railroads than any other in the United
States. They include the western half
OF the Pacific railroad, from Ogden to
San Francisco, about 900 miles a sec
ond line from Sacramento to San Fran
cisco, nearly 100 miles lines north and
south through the center of the State of
California, stretching toward Oregon on
the north. and to connection with the
Southern Pacific road on the south. and
amounting now to nearly 400 miles of
completed track; and the Napa Valley
railroad of 50miles- all, something like
1900 miles. Besides this, the company
owns the steamboats, on the Sacramento
r1verand San Francisco bay, and valuable
ferry privileges and wharves and real
estate, both in San Francisco and at
Oakland and Alameda, opposite. In ad-
dition to all this, the company has a
line of $50 miles of road due south from
San Francisco through the coast valleys,
extending in the direction of Los
Angeles and San Diego, where, by con-
nection with the Southern Pacific rail-
road, it will form the San Francisco end
thereof. All the other main properties
of the company, save one-ffth share.
which is still held by Leland Sanford,
one of the original owners, and the
present and continuing President, have
been transferred by G. P. Huntington
and Mark Hopkins to a company of San
Francisco Capitalists.

Moscow and Chicago,

A writer in the Lakeside logathly for
July draws a comparison between the
burning of Moscow and the Chicago fire.
In 1881 Moscow was burned by the
Mongols, who slew "a, 900 of its inhabit-
ants. 1t was again consumed in 1886
and l547. In 1861 occurred its greatest
fire, which, judged by its disastrous con-
sequences, was probably the greatest
fire OF modern history. At that fire the
Tartars surrounded the city, and in the
flames consumed 10000 of its inhabit-
ants. Thirty years later the city was
visited by terrible famine, by which
l27, 900 of its citizens persisted Ten
years later it was taken by the Poles and
Cossacks, and again burned, with 100,-
900 persons. Thus within the period of
seventy-fve years the unfortunate city
was four times burned, and lost 100, 900
of its inhabitants. The energy and
skill displayed IN rebuilding their city
by these rude people, was worthy of the
stalwart race, who two centuries later
had the nerve and the patriotism to ap-
ply the torch to their own homes. and
splendid palaces, and again DESTROY the
city OF their love, rendering themselves
houseless and homeless, in the midst of
a terrible winter, in order that a naughty
and vigorous invader might be driven
by famine and the rigors of an icy eli
mate from the land he had almost con-
quered. Moscow was at that time of
precisely the same size as Chicago at the
time of the fire. The city was then one
of magnificent distances, being eight
miles in diameter, and twenty-four miles
in circumference. It contained II, 600
buildings, of which only 700 remained
as nucleus for the recuperation that
followed the burning. A hundred thou
sand of her citizens persisted by the
flames, and the subsequent exposures
and privations. Forty years ago Mos
COW contained not less than 1000 chap
els, churches and converts. It contain
ed five different quarters, subdivided
into circles, the central and highest of
which, the Kremlin, lay at the fork of
the two rivers. There was the palace of
the ancient Cars, Boris Godonnoffs
palace of granite, the patriarch's palace,
the arsenal, town hall, and Several
churches and monasteries. The CITY
was filled with fine houses and streets.
and the rapidity with which the Mus
covites restored their burnt city, was on
par with the recent gigantic efforts

WOman'S Writes.

An exchange asserts that the best paid
OF the American correspondents at
Vienna is Miss Olive Harper, who was
sent there by the San Francisco alta.
but who also corresponds with the st.
Louis Globe. Miss Harper is incura-
bly, lame, and cannot move, except on
clutches. Yet she is very enterprising,
and is an interesting writer. She was
posting off to the lava beds to report
the movements of Capt. Jack, when the
Alta countermanded the orders it had
given her, and sent her to Vienna.
Though famed by anchylosis of the
knee-Joint, she is a splendid horse
woman, and even on her crutches she
glides along gracefully and easily. She
is thirty and widow-Miss Harper
being merely her literary pseudonym.

Microscopic Worms.

Some time ago, Assistant Surgeon
Lewis, OF the British army, having been
assigned to special duty under the SAM
tary Commission for the Government of
India, in examining the urine and blood
OF certain patients, discovered the exist
ence of living, active worms, hitherto
unobserved. These worms are It's of
an inch in length, and they have a
transverse diameter of 1-3. 500 of an
inch. They are SO numerous as to be
found in blood drawn from any part of
the body, and SO persistent that they
may exist in the system for months or
years without any marked evil conse-
quences being observed. 1t is said,
however, that they may give rise to
serious diseases, and ultimately cause
death. These worms appear, through
the microscope, like incompletely de
veloped snakes they move necessarily,
coiling and uncoiling themselves. and
rush about among the corpuscles in all
directions. They do not appear to ex-
list anywhere but in the blood and urine.

An Australian Yankee.

An Australian millionaire named Dvk-
shon is receiving deal of attention in
Paris on account of his wealth. He is
a Yankee, and his doings in Melbourne
that brought his riches are thoroughly
expressive of the cuteness of a New
Highlander. When money was plenty
and hotel accommodations were sparse.
he was an innkeeper When the de-
mand was great he would put up his
rooms at auction, and thus get greater
prices than otherwise. Lola Montez
came to Melbourne and was put to use
by "mine host" who advertised that
the notorious actress would dine at his
table d'hote every evening The rush
to dine at his hotel was tremendous. and.
as he doubled his prices, of extraor-
binary profit to Dykshon. In these in
stances are indicated the methods OF
Mr.. Dykshon to make money.

Ants.

An observer of the habits and instincts
of ants relates that vase on the man
tel-shelf in his sitting-room, which was
usually filed with fresh violets, was
haunted by very small red ants. The
insects issued from hole in the wall
above, and gradually increased in num-
Der until they formed an almost I'M
broken procession. He brushed them
to the floor for several days, but, as
they were not killed, the result was that
they formed colony in the wall at the
base of the mantel, and, ascending
thence to the shelf, the vase was soon
attacked from above and below. Gone
day, says the writer, 81 observed a
number OF ants, perhaps thirty or forty,
on the shelf at the foot of the vase.
Thinking to kill them, I struck them
lightly with the end of my finger, killing
some and disabling the rest. The effect
OF this was immediate and unexpecte d.
As soon as the living arrived near where
their fellows lay dead and suffering,
they turned and fed with all possible
haste. In half an hour the wall above
the mantel-shelf was cleared.

Whipping the Yankees.

A good story is told of Judge Rice.
About the commencement of the war he
made speech in North Alabama, in
which he said the Southern soldiers
could whip the Yankees with pop-guns.
Since the war he happened to make an
other speech in the same place. A big
double-jointed fellow was present, who
heard and remembered the former
speech, and being in an unamiable
frame of mind, concluded to go for Sam.
Rolling up his sleeves and putting his
fist in the palm of his hand, he pro-
pounded the fearful question Sam
Rice, didn't you make speech here in
1861 90
81 did," said Sam.
And didn't you say we could whip the
Yankees with pop guns %
Certainly I did, but the rascals
would not fight us that wayr'

SENDING A SUBsTITUTE.-A German
settler In Ohio, found guilty of selling
liquor, and sentenced to be imprisoned
IN the county Jail for thirty days, pro-
tested as follows: "Chail Go to chail
Me go to chail But can't go! Dere's
my plzlness-my bakery. Who pakes
my bread when I ben gone ?" Then
casting his eyes about the court appeal
ingly, they fell upon the good-natured
face OF jolly Chris. Ellwaner, a fellow
countryman, who had no "piziness, %
and forthwith a brilliant idea struck
HIM. Turning to the Judge, he said, in
sober earnest: "Dere's Chris. Ellwaner!
He got nothing to do; send him!''

MANIA FOR DIAMONDS. to
a London letter, diamonds are more
common in private society than they ever
have been. Many ladies are crazy about
them. Let them get as many as they
can, some night or other they meet with
dowager who eclipses them, and their
happiness is gone. A lady of rank, who
had good collection, and who does not
often leave many at home, was asked, the
other day, the actual cost of those upon
her person. She replied, with perfect
truth and much complacence. They
cost rather more than 100000 sAh 7

Coutts' collection are worth nearer half

very pale, and he thought she would

FORCE OF IMAe1NAr1oN.-At a larp.

FORCE OF IMAGINATIoN.-At a large
dinner party once, the poet Rogers was
speaking of the inconvenience of having
windows formed of one sheet of glass.
They look as if there was no glass, he
said. A short time ago, as I sat by the
table with my back to one of these
panes, it appeared to me that the win
dow was open, and such was the force
OF imagination that I actually took cold

THE court suit of Prince Esterhazy
was covered with pearls, and was esti-
mated at quarter of million the
Shahs is studded with diamonds and
emeralds. The tradition runs that the
ladies of those days generally contrived
to corner the prince at the levees, and
to engage him in conversation while
their confederates were operating upon
him with a penknife and pair of scis-
sors. The result was that the Prince
so often returned from court short of
his buttons that he at last asked to be
relieved of his mission and to return
home.
