FORNEY ON A LONDON roe

To a stranger who has never seen a Lon
don fog it is difficult to convey an idea of
that annoying visitation. do not wonder,
since have seen it, that the Frenchman,
Tame, declared it to be his conception Of
the internal regions. About Il, high noon,
to-day, Nov. "a, it was so dense that We
had to light the gas and candles. The
trees and houses were blOtted out; the cabs
stopped running, and business came
to a pause. How sad the difference
between the noise and hustle a few
minutes before and this sudden silence and
gloom. Last December 1S73) the great
FOG hung like thick vail for several days
over London. Many cattle had to be killed
from the difficulty of breathing, which af-
fects everybody. Many persons persisted
by walking over the docks into the Thames
and falling down steep places, and thou
sands lost their way. The sun, whenever
it is seen, is exactly as we see It in an
eclipse through a smoked glass, and at
night the moon hangs like a red bal
loon, while the lamps resemble lit
tie spots of fire, shedding no light,
vet making darkness visible. This
phenomenon is caused by millions of coal
fires contributing vast quantity Of pestif-
erous matter, which mingles with vapOrs
from the drainage, and penetrates every
where. A Scotch physician asks, in refer
ring to the effect upon the general health:
'If person requires half gallon Of pure
air every minute, how many gallons Of this
foul atmosphere must be, as it were, filtered
through his lungs in the eomse Of the day.
Some persons carry protecting tubes, with
cotton at the end, through which to breathe
as they walk. The safest plan is to build
great fires, light the gas, and stay in your
rooms.

A mLwAUKEE ExPERIMKNT.

The last one reported as having his hopes
blasted and the green-eyed demon aroused
in his bosom is a Milwaukee man. He is
husband, and his pride and glory was that
his wife was all fondly his own and very
affectiOnate. He felt a serene confidence
that he could, if he so wished, play Ulysses
for twenty years, and that, in such an
event, his wife would discount Penelope
in confluence and eOnstancy. She was
in the habit of informing him daily and
nightlyth he was herown delicious hubby,
so he was, and that she would not exchange
him for all the other men she knew, aud
that she did despise women who iirted.
1t is a generally understood fact that Mil
waukee men are extremely susceptible 10
female influence, and this Milwaukee man
was typical one. He not only believed
his wife, but was so confident Of her quail
ity that he resolved TO test her. He thought
he'd eOntrive 10 kiss her somewhere sud-
denly, so that she would take him for an
other man, and he pictured in his mind
how she'd shrek and struggle and scream,
and how mad she'd be, and how she'd call
to him to come and lick the fellow. So
he eOnirived an excuse for taking din
ner with her at a hotel, and, excusing
himself, left Der to go up to the dining
room alone, while he slid around into a
hallway which she must cross, and when
she passed he just jumped out and kissed.
And that Milwaukee woman didn't strug-
gle nor scream nor anything Of the kind;
She only spoke out quickly. "DOn't be so
bold, mister; folks around here know me-
Since the occurrence that Milwaukee man
has entirely ceased to bore his bachelor
friends with pictures Of domestic bliss or
advice to assume domestic bonds and obli-
cations.

NEW TONIC.

A new tonic called boldo has been dis
covered. BoldO is tree found in Chilli,
of height of five or six feet, isolated on
mountainous regions, with yellow bios
SONS and verdant foliage. Its bark, leaves
and blossoms possess a marked aromatic
odOr, resembling mixture Of turpentine
and eamphOr. The leaves contain largely
an essential oil. 1t contains an alkaloid
which is already called "bOldine.n Its
properties are chiefly as a stimulant to
digestion and having a marked action ON
the liver. Its action was discovered rather
accidentally-thus: Some sheep which
are liver diseased were confined in an en-
closure which happened to have been re-
Gently repaired with boldo twigs. The
animals ate the leaves and shoots, and were
observed to recover speedily. Direct OBJ
servations proved its action-thus, one
cramme of the tineture excites appetite
increases the circulation, and produce:
symptoms Of circulatOry excitement, and
acts on the urine, which gives out the pc
culiar Odor Of bOldo.

ohio River Bridges.
specIai 70 the CINCINNATI Gazette.


During the last session Congress directed
the Secretary of War to cause an engineer
officer Of the army to examine into and re-
port bill, introduced by Mr.. Holman, au-
thorizing the construction of bridges across
the Ohio river, and to prescribe the dimen-
sions for the same.
Major Merrill was detailed for this duty.
His report was to-day received by TIE
House Of Representatives. The law, as If
now stands, provides that all bridges here
after erected over the Ohio river shall have
a pivot draw, giving two openings of $50
feet each. The Holman bill sought to le-
peal this provision Of the law.
Major Merrill, in his report, says.
ain the pres mt state of commerce on the
Ohio River, steamers may seldom ascend
above Cincinnati, and the bridges already
constructed have made it impossible for
them to do so without the lowering OF
chimneys.. This officer recommends that
the bridges built hereafter over the Ohio
shall have draws, and says: off bridges
without draws are built between Cinein-
natl and Cairo, the commerce Of the Lower
Ohio will be seriously Inconvenience.
Many boats that now come to Cincinnati
will be unable to do so, and the cities "
ing above such bridges will lose an advan-
tage which they now have, and which
should not be taken from them. They are
properly protected by the law as it now
stands, and it will add bat little to the cost
of bridges, as companies are required 10
continue this protection by providing a
draw
In conclusion Maj. Merrill recommends
that an expression Of opinion on the bill
be had from the Chamber Of Commerce of
Cincinnati.

New York Herald, Dec. IA.
A disaster 50 narrowing and unprecedent-
ed as to shock every sensitive heart occur
red yesterday afternoon near Preakness, N.
j., about four miles beyond Paterson. The
small pond there was covered with a sheet
of ice about an inch thick, and i've chill
dren Of Mr., John Dotterich, the proprietor
Of large dairy establishment, ventured
upon it with q sleigh. They were four
girls, aged respectively sixteen, fifteen,
thirteen and eight years, and a boy, six
years old, all healthy and blooming chill
dren, petted and beoved by their parents
and relatives, and who, in their gay, roll
licking mirth on the ice, little thought of
the awful fate that awaite' them. The
pond was within sight Of their home, and
their mother was lovingly looking at their
innocent sport when, at a spot near the centre
Of the pond, the ice gave way, and children
and sleigh were plunged into the water.
They struggled desperately for their lives,
but their heartrending shrieks were Of no
avail, and they were, in a few minutes,
buried in the icy water. The eldest
child, bright girl Of sixteen, gave a last
agonizing cry Of sOh, mother, save me-"
as she disappeared from her mothers
sight. Three Of the children had been in
the sleigh, and the other two were push
ing from behind, but it seems they all
met the same cruel fate. Boats were got
ready and all possible efforts were made TO
save them, but in vain, and for several
hours last evening none Of the bodies could
even DC recovered The agony Of the
mother, as she saw her children engulfed in
the icy pond, beyond all human aid, may
wen be imagined. The neighborhood was
in a feyerish state Of excitement, and the
most intense sympathy Tor the afflicted fam
lily is f 1t everywhere.

The Mixed school Agitation
The pupils of the boys high school to-day
refused to allow colored boys 10 enter the
school-house. The pupils having been in
formed that the Superintendent could set
tie the question and prevent the admission
of coloFed boys, they appointed commit
tee to call on the Superintendent. He
stated that he was only an executive officer;
that the whole matter was in
the hands of the school board, and
he believed the board was acting
under the general school law, which
made no race distinctions. 1t might be
that none of the cOlored boys would be
able to pass the necessary examination, or
they might be wholly withdrawn. More
than this, the school board might deem it
necessary to establish branch school, and
thus dispose Of the question in way con-
sistent with the views and feelings Of the

The success with which the experiments
in cotton raising have been attended IN
California the past season give much
promise of the future Of the State as cot
ton grower 1t is said Tulare and Fresno
counties will put in market about 10000
pounds Of cotton, making the total yield in
the State foot up to about 220,OCO pounds,
and that the yield in MERGED county the
present season will be fully 100 pounds per
acre more than that Of the most favored
Southern States. There are upwards OF
1000 acres of land devoted to cotton grow
ing in that section alone. The average
yield of the county, says a cOtempOrary,
will be about 800 pounds per acre. This
year will afford full and sufficient test Of
the capabilities Of the county so far as cot
ton is concerned, and the excellent cOndi-
ton of the fields at this time give assurance
of splendid crops, and in consequence
very large average of cotton may be ex
pected in the future.

in the case of ThOs. &. Jones, acting Clerk
of the Court of Appeals, that the decision
of the State LOntesting Board vacating the

a challenge to fight duel. Thereupon

ordered a special election to I'LL
the vacancy, but Jones has since
continued to exercise the functions of the
Office, and was, a few days since, presented

His attorneys entered a demurrer TO the
