Prof. Tyndall's Warming.

In concluding an address to the students OF
University College lLondon) Prot TyndaN,
who is unquestionably one OF the most indie
1atig able train workers OF cur century, said,
as earsman in a rotten boat; what can he do
there but by the very force OF his stroke ex-
pediate the ruin OF his craft. Take care of the
timbers OF your boat The DISTINGUISHED
scientists advice is equally valuable to al
workers. We are apt to devote all our ener-
gies to welding the oars, our strokes tall firm
and fast, but few OF us examine or even think
OF the condition OF our boats until tie broken
or rotten timbers suddenly give way and we
find ourselves the victims OF calamity which
could have been easily avoided by 4 little
torethought. What began with slight trac-
ture, or perhaps even careless exposure to
disorganlzing influences, ends in the complete
began by slight headache, or an undue ex-
posture to cold, terminates in death, unless its
progress be checked, and the disease reme-
died. The first symptoms, the heralds of dis
ease give no indication of the strength of the
on coming foe, and the victim trusts that his
old ally, Nature, will exterminate the invader.
Bat disease is all old general, and accom-
plishes his most important movements in
the night time, and some brig hit morning finds
hum in possession OF one OF the strongest torti-
ficat;ons; and when he has once gained a
stronghold in the system, Nature ignomini
ouslY turns traitor and secretly delivers up tn
whole physical armery to the invadere
Like the willy politician, Nature is always on
the strongest side, and the only way to insure
her support is to keep your vital powers in
the ascendant. Keep your strongest forts
the stomach and the liver-well guarded. Do
not let the foe enter the arterial highways, for
he will steal or destroy your richest merchan-
disc and impoverish your kingdom. To re-
pulse the attacks of the foe you can find no
better ammunition than DR.. Pierce's Family
Medicines. Full directions accompany each
package.) His Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
especially effective in defending the stomach
and liver His Golden Medical Discovery for
purifying the blood and arresting coughs and
colds. II you wish to become familiar with
the most approved system of defense in this

a Fearful Tragedy.

Geo. w. Jewett,. Orville D. Jewett,
J. A. Dean and Charles H. Jones were partners
in the white lead business in New York. Or
vile was admittedsto the firm of which his
father, when alive, was member, six or
seven years ago, simply because OF that rela-
tionship. He has been somewhat wild. and
paid little attention to the business, which
seems not to have been to his taste. He has
been absent st winter catching at Bermuda,
and on his return recently expressed desire
to withdraw from the firm. His partners did
not wish :" make any change in the business,
and opposed his retiring, but he persisted in
his determination, and finally became so dis
agreeable that they conceded his request, and
agreed to pay him two hundred thousand dol
lars for his interest. The necessary papers
were drawn up and were to have been signed
on the 9Th. Young Jewett, probably crazed
with liquor, came to the Office on that day
armed with hand-grenade, a pistol and .
dirk. Some angry words passed and he drew

Harper's Weekly publishes detail
ed account OF Tweeds escape from prison in
Dec. 1878. He secured outside aid through
one OF the prisoners in the Jail and passed the
winter in New Jersey and on Staten Island
He finally sailed to st. Crista and from thence
to Cuba. A letter OF Tweed's is also publish
ed bearing date Dec. 6, 1876. 1t is addressed
to Chas. O'Connor and appears to surrender
everything he has and give all the informa-
ton in his possession relative to the huge
robberies He says: am an old man, great
ly broken in health, cast down in spirit and
can no longer bear my burden. .O'Connor
sent this letter to the Attorney General with
