A CHILD SAVER.
How u Husband of Celia BurlciSh was
TOrmcnted.

The Rev. Celia Burleigh, who was
once resident of Cincinnati and the
wife of Kcllum, the lard-oil manufac-
turcr on Walnut street, has for years
been New Yorker, but has recently
accepted call to fill Uni arian pulpit
in Brooklyn, Connecticut.
Concerning Kellum, here is Il remln-
isccnce of the ante-war days of journal
ism in the Queen city. George >. Ben
nett, then local editor of the Enquirer,
was wont, when news was scarce, To in
vent extraordinary items for his depart
ment. One of his favOrite fancies was
to have children fall from the landing
of the Newport ferryboat into the river,
and have them heroically saved by some
of his acquaintances. knowing kellum
very well, Bennett pitched upon him as
the imaginary rescucr of unfortunate
iunocents, and at least three times Il
week Kellum figured i'll the Enquirer as
the noble preserver of number'esS boys
and girls who had taken an involuntary
plunge into the Ohio.
The lard oil dealer did not object 70
this for the first few weeks, but wh'n
the thing became stercotyped, 1t had
the effect of rendering him ridiculous,
and he threatened personal assault upon
the local, if the latter persisted III max
ing him the savior of the miscellaneous
juvenile population of Cincinnati. e.,
'Confonnd it, George y he salI'
"you know l never dragged ahyDoi!
ont of the river, and if you say tlla' !

oc"''iiun !-inn,t c;+;zrll of Newport, had fall
Ploiln ILL.,, th, erryboat into the river,
Icn gu ~ ~ ,aourh Kellum had seen her
fall apd might have snatched her rom
i'''' .%rrv grave, he calmly looked on
"nf refused to lend the slightest assis-
Mncc. He gave, during the next fort
NIGHT. several versions of the same
story, in each of which the lard oil man
was represented to have shown degree
of disgraceful poltroonery.
At last Kellum went, boiling with
rage, into the Enquirer Office, and was
about to take summary vengeance on
Bennett, who coolly removed his coat
and offered to bet his excited foe that
he would be "cleaned out" in less
than thirty seconds by the watch.
"You' re not bad fellow in your way,
Kellum," remarked George, but l
can't stand any interference with my de-
partment. If I make any statement in
the ENQUIRER YOU must not come round
here contradicting it. That isn't lourn-
alism, you see, and it must be put
stop to at any price.
Kellum discovering his disadvantage
with a man who could print what he
chose, asked the local to take drink
and buried the hatchet. He afterwards
sent a handsome present to Bennett for
the purpose of keeping the small Ak IN
the ground, and from that day until
poor Georges death the lard dealer was
never more compelled to appear as the
preservcr or neglecter of drowning
children.

There is work to do by the way, my boy,
That yuu never can tread again;
Work for the loftieSt. lpw'ip-t men
Work for the plpw, adze, spindle and pen;

San Francisco and the Easterly
Current.

The recent experiment in tie east
erly-current business Mt San Francisco
is vividly described by reporter OF the
Chronicle, who, with L. II. Clough,
made the ascent. After the airship was
cut loose, it required about two minutes
TO reduce San Francisco to the size OF
potato patch, and the people to pigmies I;
the mountains shrank to mole-hills, and
the bay was like FURNISHED silver. The
balloon soon shot in a westerly dlrec-
ton, and plunged into mass of mist
that owe hung the Pacific. The bal
loonists seized the valve-rope, hut. just
then, the navigators struck strong
easterly current, and thought they were
going TO reach New York by the next
morning. It was twenty-five minutes
past 4, and they were mile and half
from the sea level. But the balloon
now began to spin round strangely, the
compass-needle tried to point IN all
directions at once, and the ship turned
westward again. As they we're APP
proaching the ocean, they tried 10 de-
scend but. finding that they " are com

A Doughty Squaw.

The. Sioux City Ua.l Journal relates
the following incident of the recent
fight between the Sioux and Poncas at
the Ponca agency: A Sioux brave bad

While he was standing just at the cor

Ponca squaw rushed from the house,
and before the Sioux could defend him.

abdomen with hugh knife, literally dis
emboweling him. As she struck him
the Sioux involuntarily bent forward,
clasping his abdomen with both hands,
and lust at that instant the squaw grab

stroke of the knife, scalped him. Shak-
ing her CORY trophy aloft, and giving a
shrill cry of defiance, she darted back
into the building in safety, followed by
a dozen rife-balls from as many Sioux,
who. from distance. saw the result OF
the sortie. The effect was perfectly
maddening upon the Sioux. for to have
one of their warriors scaiped 10y squaW

Sleeping in a Cold Room.

Halls Journal of Health says that
cold bed chambers always imperll health
and invite fatal diseases. Robust per
sons NAV safely sleep in temperature
of forty or under, but the old, the IN
FAINT and the frail should never sleep IN
a room where the atmosphere is much
under fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
All know the danger of going direct
into the cold from a very warm room:
Very few rooms, churches, theatres and
the like. are ever warmer than seventy
degrees. Ifit is freezing ont of doors
it is thirty degrecs-the difference be
ing fortv degtccs more. Persons will
be chilled by such a change in ten min
utes. although they may be actively
walking.
Bnt to lie still in bed, nothing to pro
mote the circulation, and breathe Tor
hours an atmosphere of forty and even
fifty degrees, when the lungs are al
ways at ninety eight, 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 NAV often be found in sleeping in
a room the window of which has been
foolishly hoisted for ventilation. The
water-cure journals of the country have
done an incalculable injury by the blind
and indiscriminate advice of hoistine
tn window at night.
The rule should be everywhere du
ring the part of the year when fires arr
kept burning, to avoid hosting outside
windows. 1t is safer and better to leave
tne chamber door open, as also the fire
place: then there is a draft mp the chin
new. while the room is not so likely t
become cold. If there is some fire II
the room all night the window may b
opened an inch. 1t is safer to sleep in
bad air all night with temperatur
over fifty, than in pure air with ten
perature under forty. The bad air ma
sicken you but cannot kill you; the col
air can and does kill very often.
