To Prevent Catching Cold.

The mistake is often made of taking
great care to put on extra wraps and
coats when preparing for outdoor exer-
else. This is not at all necessary in
robust persons. Sufficient heat to pre-
vent all risk of chill is generated in the
body by exercise. The care should be
taken to retain sufficient clothing after
exercise and when at rest to prevent the
heat passing out of the body. Indeed,
persons very often catch chills from
throwing off extra clothing after exer-
else, or from sitting about in garments
the material of which is not adapted to
prevent the radiation of heat from the
body. Linen and cotton underclothing,
when moistened by perspiration, parts
with heat very rapidly, whereas flannel
and silk, being non-conductors, prevent
the rapid loss OF heat. ~ a t5@

Up Salt River.

The origin of the expression cup
Salt river" as applied to defeated po-
litical party, was as follows !: Davy
Crockett, the famous Kentucky Con
gresham, while. a Wing candidate, was
challenged by his Democratic opponent
to meet him on the stump IN joint dis
cussion. Crockett accepted, and the
day and place were fixed F; but Crockett
did not appear, and the people, think
ing him afraid to do SO, rallied for his
opponent and elected him. 1t afterward
turned out that Crockett, who had
started for the place in canoe propelled
by negro, had been landed in the for
est at the head-waters of Salt river by
his treacherous guide, who then swiftly
padded off down the stream. Crockett
was too good a hunter to starve in the
wilderness, but he was totally unable to
reach the appointed place in time, and
gave it up, and with it his chance of
election. Hence the phrase cup Salt
river meaning that rarty is hope
lessly defeated. Crockett, however,
was more lucky two years afterward, be-.
ing elected by a handsome majority.

The Associated Press agent at Washington
has had another talk with President Grant,
the result of which he reports as follows
"The President said, in reply to question,
that he was not apprehensive of armed COLI
sions in connection with the Presidency, no
matter what might be the fears OF others. It
seemed to him that the people desired only q
fair count of the electoral vote in the Southern
contested States in order to be satisfied of the
result. The reports Of the several committees

Of affairs, and have atendencv to solve existing
difficulties It was certainly desirable to es-
tablish the actual fact of the election of either
Hayes or Tilden, for neither could feel salts
fed if any doubt remained of his election, be-
cause in such case his position as President
would not command the requisite general sup
port. The President remarked that no one
could suppose that he had any connection with
or relation to the declaration as to who was
elected. That was not q matter for him to
determine. The President, recurring to the
recent election, remarked that he should
promptly recognize whoever should be de-
clared his successor. With this his political
feelings would have nothing to do

POLITICAL POINTS

A bill to organize court of appeals for the
trial OF contested Presidential election cases
has been constructed by Senator Wright, of
Iowa. It allows any Presidential candidate
who has been counted out by the joint con-
vention of Congress to appeal to the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. who is to call in
half dozen Judges of the District and Circuit
Courts to sit with him in hearing the appeal.
If the decision of this court is not salts
factory to either party, the case may
then be carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States. Representative Knott,
of Kentucky, also has plan before the House
for the counting of the electoral votes It
leaves to each house it's separate organization
and officers when assembled to canvass the
votes for President, but provides that all ques-
tons affecting the validity of certificates, or
eligibility of electors, and all other matters in
volved in the matter at issue, shall be voted
upon. by the joint assembly and decided by the
majority on joint ballot. 84 stts8ssV<i

every county of the State on the 9th of Jan
uary to consider the political situation. Tilden

House of Representatives, after the President
of the Senate shall have opened all the certifi.

vote for President and Vice President of the
United States, and declare the result Of such

and courteously invited the customs
officer to examine her baggage. "There

trunk, and, pushing aside a heap Of
stockings and overturning layer Of
dress materials, bounced upon dozen
bottles of French brandy. "Do you

sternly. "Why, yes" replied the lady,

The unusually brilliant meteor which passed
over the States Of Kansas, Missouri Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania appe 4rs to
have pursued uniform path several scores
of miles above the surface of the earth. This
view is supported by the testimony of several
observers who heard the noise in
from three to four minutes after the
flash. Taking 4.6 seconds Der mile as the
rate at which sound travels through the al.
mosphere, this would give the distance Of the
meteor as forty to fifty miles. 1t appears to
have been subject to numerous minor explo-
sions in it's visible fight, and it's surface be-
came more rapidly heated than the interior by
friction in passing through our atmosphere.

entirely dissipated into fragments before it

Mr.. Jonathan PIN, the late Liberal

increase in the number of farms of
medium size. Mr.. PIN states that in
consequence of recent improvements
there are few better ports in the kingdom
than Dublin. His general conclusion is
that in ireland "wen- considered enter

Ireland affords safe and remunerative
