TINE INAUGURAL.

The inaugural address. like everything
that has eminated from Hayes since he
came into prominence as presidential
candidate, is q "goodish" document. 1t
abounds in plenty of fair promises and
well.rounded sentiments Of a moral
nature, but the reader. at

all, and how he conld writo 40 much and
say SO little. The address is not multuns
in parro but rice versa, aud leaves the
public with very underlined notions Of the
course Mr.. Hayes means to pursue. He
concludes with the usual reference to the
Almighty, expressing his intention to
depend ON "Divine guidance" for help in
the duties which he has been counted in
to perform.

THE JETTIES.

they.can take her through the Southwest

practical acknowledgment by ad-
herring to their tavorite route, the South
west Pass, and in this lies the secret Of
their discomfort ; they wanted the South
west Pass jettled. They assert THAT the
bar OF that pass is composed Of quick
sand, or material that shifts back and
forth that no stable depth can be Sc.
cured and maintained there. They as
sert that If the jetties had been built at
Southwest Pass, even to the extent they
have been at South Pass, there
would now be 40 feet of water.
They claim the bar at Southwest

An Honest Agent.

He was up on the Cass farm the other
day selling " beautiful sets of genuine
coral jewelry for the low sum of one
dollar" He explained that they were
goods purchased at auction in Paris,
lost 5y the wrecking of the steamer, re-
covered by divers, and sold by the
pound along with crowbars, pig-lead
and other stuff. That's how they came
to be SO cheap, and he would guarantee
that they were genuine coral. He made
several sales, and in each case, when
ready to depart he asked:
"Now. madam, do You know the
nature of genuine coral?''
"No.''
"Well, let me tell you that you should
keep that jewelry in a cold place,
handle it very carefully, and if attend
ing party or calling on friend, do
not take seat near q warm stove. If
one of those ear-drops begins to melt
you can't save it. The real coral is
very sensitive to heat, while the imita-
ton won't hardly melt in the oven.''
Lots of agents wouldn't have been
that honest, but this man was, and any
pedestrian noticing set of coral jew
elry hanging on a tree in the yard will
know that they were placed there to
secure cold draft and prevent acct

A Lover Wants His Money Back.

AUGUST MANGEL, a tall, cookbook
ing young man, who is a cabinet-maker
in Hoboken, appeared in the Tombs
Police Court, yesterday. as the COM
plainant against Miss Pauline Bierman,
a rather handsome and fashionably-
dressed young lady, who says she sup
ports an aged father and mother by
singing. In giving their testimony both
parties burst into tears, the young man
blubbering SO vehemently that the
Court checked him. He accused Pau
line of obtaining from him about
$1,000, in sums of 800 and upward,
at different times during four years.
courtship,. she representing that she was
an heiress. Now that she has discard
him, he wants his money back.
Pauline stated, between her sobs, that
she met Mangel in the country four
years ago, and when she was introduced
to him lady friend said: "What a
fool that man isr' She continued the
acquaintance, however, and said that
Mangel used to call on her almost every
night and remain until twelve O'Clock,
when she actually had to tell him to go
home, and that he smelt 50 of liquor
that she could not sit beside him. The
Court suggested that the better way to
settle the business was to resume the
courtship. 81 won't have him! and
would die firstr' excitedly cried the
young lady, and at this Mangers sobs
turned to angry expressions. Miss
Bierman testified that the money she
had received was simply gifts induced
by affection, and if the Court would al
low her time she would return the whole
of it, principal and interest.-N Y.

Nevada's Biggest Nugget.

From John Verzan, who, in company
with T. G.. Pouiade, arrived from
Osceola on Saturday last, we learn the
following concerning the greatest mass
of gold yet discovered in Nevada: The
gold mass, when first found, was
thrown into pile of waste earth, and
there it lay undisturbed for several
weeks. Finally it was carried by
pack animal, along with the thiefs
camp fixtures, into Ward, where it was
melted into small bars. The piece, be-
fore melting, weighed just twenty-four
pounds and fifteen ounces avOirdupOis,
and, as it contained but very little
quartz, its actual coin value must have
been at least 81, 900. The finder of this
truly wonderful specimen was man
who had been under many obligations
to Mr.. verzan, his employer and the
principal owner in the mine. When
Verzan met the thief in Ward he greet
ed his late employee cordially, As an old
friend, and offered him assistance, sup
posing him to be in need. This was. too
much. The thief, pale and haggard,
met Mr.. Verzan the next morning. He
said that he had passed restless days
and sleepless nights long enough; that
he was willing to give up all that re-
manned of the stolen property for sim
pie forgiveness, for one nights rest, tor
one meal unalloyed BY the s. thought o tds'
it was purchased with stolen goo0s.
Then he told the story of the nugget,
az given above, meanwhile dropping
into the hands of the astonished owner
bar after bar If heavy, solid, shining
gold. The owners of the claim real
ized o., $50. One bar valued at about
$3.50. was given to the repentant thief,
who Immediately thereafter disap-
peared. Of the remaining 1850 a
part was sold to Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
agent at Ward, having first been al
loyed with copper to avoid suspicion.
AS nothing definite can now be proved,
the thief's accomplices in the melting
are still at large.-Roche Nev. Record.

up and sustaining the animal tissues
exhausted. Well does DR.. Oswald say
it is distressingly probable that con-
sumption, that most fearful scourpe Of
the human race, is not q mysterious
dispensation of Providence" nor a
product OF our outrageous climate, -
but the direct consequence of an out
rageous violation of the physical laws
of Nature. DIR. Halter thought that If
God Furnishes suicide, He would make
an exception in favor of conservatives.
But can it be hoped that this exemption
will continue after men are made fully
conscious that this direful disease can
be avoided by simply breathing con-
stantly the air prepared in the iabora-
tory of Nature, instead of the fatal gases
prepared, retained and inhaled in our
cave.like dwellings and places of public
meetings?
Criminals closely confined in cells
soon have diseased lungs and die early.
Infants and older children die, or be-
come diseased for life, by the vitiated
air they are compelled to breathe in
apartments with defective ventilation.
Men, women and children can only
live in health in fresh air. It may be
more agreeable and better to have the
air equable in temperature and not
overloaded with moisture, but it is far
better to have dampness, cold and
changeableness, than to breathe the
gases left after the oxygen has been ex-
tracted from the air by passing through
the lungs, or the air has been disinte-
grated by other processes. Let us re-
peat, then, what has been so often said
by medical men: Ventilate! ventilate
your workrooms, your houses
ticularly your sleeping-rooms. Remem-
Der that each person needs over 800
cubic feet of fresh air every night.
Ventilate your school-rooms, public
halls and churches. To ask one to
breathe the exhalations from the lungs
of a crowded assembly is worse than
asking him to drink the water in which
the congregation had bathed.-Chicago

Modern TroglOdytes.

The Troglodytes, or Cave-Dwellers,
were tribes who inhabited ancient Nu-
bia. They became entirely extinct
about the second century of the Chris
tian era. They we're an inferior race,
and the impure air of the caves, where
they constantly lived, reduced their
narrow chests, and finally caused their
total destruction.
DR.. Oswald, in an article in the Pop
nlar Science Monthly, very properly
calls people who live and sleep in close
rooms and neglect to breathe pure air,

food, more necessary, in fact. The
stomach may be without food for twen-
ty-four hours without serious detri-
ment, and for three days without en-
dangering life, while the food for the
lungs cannot be totally stopped for
six minutes without fatal consequences.
We take into our lungs with every
breath about one pint of air, and
breathe about twenty times per minute,
SO that the quantity of gaseous food
thus consumed by the body amounts in
a day to CTS cubic feet. Eating and
drinking are therefore secondary or sup

performed by the lungs. Everywhere
on the surface of the earth for fifty
miles high, the air, mixed in the proper
proportions for healthy respiration, is
supplied to sustain and build up animal
life. Yet, we contrive houses to ex-
clude it as effectually as the Nubian
caves, and inclcse ourselves therein,
and thus enfeeble the race. Thousands
and tens of thousands actually die an
