Rescued From the Jaws of Death.

Niagara Falls on the morning of June
lst, was the scene of a terrible excite
ment in consequence of painter named
Mccullough, who was employed in
painting the bridge leading from Goat
island to the Three Sisters, having fall
en- from the bridge into the rapids be
low. He drifted with the current to
point within forty feet of the falls,
where he found anchorage in the mid
die of the stream that separates the is
lands by coming in contact with a rock,
to which he chung. In few moments
the news of the accident spread like
Wlldtre through the village, and an inn
inense crowd of spectators gathered to
look at the unfortunate mans perilous
situation, from which it seemed impos-
stole to rescue him. Mccullough had
given up all hopes of being aided; his
arms and body were fast becoming be-
numbed and losing their hold on the
slippery rock, when a shont went mp
rom the throats of the spectators which
told HIM that aid was nigh. In that
vast crowd which had assembled on the
Islands and bridges there was but one
man who was willing to risk his own
lie IN trying 20 snatch n fellow-creature
nom ont the jaws of death. Tom Con-
roy, a guide at the Cave of Winds.
Jumped into the rapids, and, holding in
his left hand the end of rope and
swimming down the current, he reached
Mccullough in safety. He Immediately
tied the rope around himself and the
nearly exhausted man, and they were
both safely landed ashore in a few mo
ments. Mccullough was badly bruised
about the head and body.

The Way the Cable Talks.

An operator sits at table in a room
darkened by curtains. On his desk
stands a little instrument named the re-
hecting galvanometer, the invention of
Sir William Thompson, without which

strument consists of tiny magnet and
a small mirror swinging on asilk thread,
the two together weighing but a few
Grains. The electric current passing
along the wire from Valencia reflects a
spot of light on to a scale, in a box
placed at the operators right hand,
where. by its oscillation, the spot of
light indicates the slight movement of
the magnet, follows every change IN the
receiving current and every change,
great or small, produces q corresponding
oscillation of the spot of light on the
scale. A code of signals is so arranged
by which the movement of the spot Of
light Is made to indicate the letters of
the alphabet. When receiving message
from Valencia, the operator watches
the movements of the light speck,
which keeps dancing about over the
scale on his right. To his practiced
eve, each movement Of the spot Of light

john Weslev.s Health Rules.

This great apostle wrote upon many
subjects. Health was prominent among
them. He published q work under the
| title of 's Primitive Physic or, an Easy
and Natural Method of Curing Most
Diseases" From his simple rules the
following are selected
Pure air Is very important
| Tender people should have those who
/ lie with them, or are much about them,
sound, sweet and healthy.
All persons ambitious of good sealth
should be as clean as possible in their
house, furniture and clothes.
The great rule IN food is to suit the
| quality and quantity to our digestion.
All picked, smoked, salted and high
seasoned food is unwholesome.
Nothing conduoes more to health
than abstinence and plain food, with
due labor For studious persons, about
eight ounces of animal and twelve of
vegetable food IN Neutrality-suspicious. is
sufficient.
Water is the most wholesome of all
drinks, most quickens the appetite and
strengthens the digestion. Strong, and
more especially spirituous liquors, are
a certain though slow poison. Expert
ence shows there is no manner of danger
in discoatinuing them at once.
Coffee and tea are extremely inluri
Gus to persons with weak nerves.
Tender persons should eat only very
light supper, and that full two or three
hours before going to bed. Such per-
sons ought to retire to bed invariably
by nine o'clock, and rise from four to
five in the morning.
Walking is the best exercise for
those who are able TO bear it, and rid
ing is the best for those who are not
able TO bear walking. We may
strengthen any weak part OF the body
by constant exercise. Thus the lungs
may be strengthened by loud speaking
or by walking up an ascent, the diges-
ton and nerves by riding, the arms
and hands by strongly rubbing them
daily.
The studious ought to have stated
times for exercise, st least two or three
times a day, one-half before dinner, the
other before going to bed. Those who
read or write much should learn to do
it standing, otherwise it will impair
their health.
The fewer clothes anyone uses by day
or night provided he is kept wsrm), the
harder he viii be.
Exercise should never be taken on a
full stomach, il should never be eontin.
ued to exhaustion, and when we are
done, we shOuld be careful not to cool
off too suddenly.
The fiesh-brush is highly beneficial,
especially in stimulating a part which
is cool and inactive. Cold bathing is a
great advantage to health. It prevents
many diseases, promotes respiration,
accelerates the circulation of the blood,
and secures against colds.
All violent and sudden passions dis
pose people to acute diseases. Slow
and lasting passions, such as grief and
hopeless love, bring on chronic dis
cases.

Home-Sickness.

There are conditions in which home
sickness assumes the form of the disease
known as nostalgia. Many opportu-
mites for observation nave enabled
pathologists and other scientific men to
trace the causes and effects of this dis
ease but its seat has been sought for
in vain. Some fatal examinations have
been credited to the disorder, but we
incline to the opinion that it never
killed any one directly, only through
diseases superinduced by the depres-
sion of spirits which is occasioned.
The French medical academy thought
the subject worthy of prize essay,
which, when produced, threw much
useful ight upon it. The French
Swiss and Italians are among the ma
tions most subject to the affection, and
that will account for the comparatively
small emigration of those people. The
Germans are less liable to home-sick-
ness while the English are free from
it in the superIative degree-hence the
cosmopolitan character of these people,
and their presence and conquests in ev-
Qery uarter of the habitalbe globe. The
disease was very marked among the
French troops during the late war, not
only impairing their efficiency as sol
diers, but actually killing them out
right by the pining for home and famil-
lar scenes. The italian army is hardly
less distinguished by the malady than
the French. The phrenologist would
cut this Gordian knot with the greatest
ease by referring the whole trouble to
the organ of inhabitiveRsss. Ma
tions may as reasonably be expected to
differ in this respect as species. IL you
change your domicile, your dog goes
along with you, his adhesiveness"
ranking his inhabitiveness ;" but your
cat will stay behind-earing greatly
more for the habitat than for you. APP
plying a varying propensity of this kind
snations-in the same manner as
we are forced to accredit them with facul-
ties which make them yariously martial,
aesthetic, intellectual, humane or super
stitious-and the problem is solved at
once the Frenchman has simply lar
ger inhabitiveness and the BritOn less
and there's an end ont.

" Goldfish >, ArIstocracH..

The gentry of New York have moth
ing to boast of in their lineage, for
their origin was invariably humble. The
original of the Homes was q German
sugar refner, who wrote his name
HUM, and probably lived on sausages
and beer. Philip, his SOD, when the
old man got rich, changed the name to
a prettier shape, and took a position
among the gentry. He was a fine look
ing man and was a successful dry goods
auctioneer, in which business his firm
reached wealth and distinction. He as
sociated with the Grinnells, the Irvings,
and others of the more cultivated soci-
ETY. but on his death the family sank
again, and now we hardly hear of it.
The Brevoorts are descended from old
Henry Brevoort, Dutch market man
who had an estate of about twenty-five
acres in the upper part of the city,
which he cultivated with his own hands.
The land was very sterile and required
patience and untiringlabor, and the slen-
dsa crop of corn, peas, ,radishes, potatoes,
ETC., was hardly sufficient to give the
family a support. The son Henry grew
up an associate with Washington Irving,
and of course had no turn for garden
ing. This he did not heed, for about
the time he came of age She land was
worth SO, 900 per acre for Ouil ding lots.
and it soon bore crop of houses.
Some of the farm was retained until it
became worth $500, 900 per acre, and it
is now worth double that rate, for it is
included in the Fifth avenue, which is
the most valuable of the abodes of
fashion. The old gentleman lived to
be nearly ninety, and retained his old
habits until the last, but the son be-
came fashionable man. he did not long
survive his father, and the third in gen

Hon. JOHN HANCOCK visited our
place last Wednesday, and made one
of his best speeches that night. There
had been some little disaffection by
some of our soreheaGs, and few had
even gone SO far as to say they would
not vote for him. He had a fine audi
ence, and spoke lengthily upon the
various questions in which he had Ia
ken part, He gave full and de-
tailed account of the ombinus bill and
explained his connection with that
affair.
We have talked freely with many
who had felt dissatisfaction at Judge
Hancock's vote OH that question, and
we can truthfully say that all who
heard him speak, were satisfied with
his account of it. We are glad of his
visit, and can assure our friends in
other counties that Hancock will get
united vote in this section, and that
no hopes need be entertained by radi-
calls or soreheaded, socalled democrats
of any seriods opposition to our nomi-
nee.-[Lampasas Dispatch.

that nominated ID. ii. Chamberlain for
governor of South Carolina, broke up
in row. Another convention has since
been held by those opposed to Chamr
berIain's election and Judge John Il.

as an independent republican cand.-
date. Judge Green is native of the
state and was honored by his native
county, Sumter, with various positions
before the days of reconstruction. He
joined "the party of great moral
ideas' soon after federal bayonets
and negro votes put it in the
ascendancy in the state, and was re-
warded with the position of circuit
judge, which he has since continued to
hold. His course upon the bench has
been free from Partially and dema-
goguesm, and, so far as has ever
been known, he has not been party
to any of the stupendous frauds in
which the republicans of that state
have reveled. There might have been
some chance of his election by con-
servative votes if he had not, in a pub
lie speech few days ago. declaredhim-
