A vapor bath may be easily prepared by
taxing pail about half full of hot but not
boiling water, which may be placed under a
cane bottom chair, if one is at hand, or, If
not, a narrow piece of wood may be placed
across the pail, and the patient should sit on
it for about half an hour, with blanket over
his shoulders, reaching to the floor to keep in
the steam. Should any faintness be felt, it
is sign that the water is too hot, and the
blanket may be laid open for short time to
allow the steam to escape These simple
remedies are within the reach of every one,
and if promptly resorted to Oh the first ap-
pearance of a cold, will save many dollar
in doctors bills

A SINGULAR STATEMENT.
Harsh Treatment Of IAN Amputated Leg
Causing Pain TO Its Original Owner.

l. O. Eldridge, in the Territorial Enter
prise, says: A gentleman called my atten-
ton to an item in your paper regarding lad
whose arm had been amputated, and what he
had suffered at the removing of the same and
its results. Fifteen years ago l lost leg,
and it was closely packed in casket, causing
ME constant terrible pain. A good wife, un-
known to me, sent faithful servant to ar
range the amputated limb comfortably in a
new and larger casket The moment the leg
was handled knew it, and the comfort be-
gan then and has never ceased, and could
tell the position precisely in which the miss
ing member was placed. / am glad to know
my experience is gratified; but just how to
account for this, let the wise men tell. This
is the first time any allusion was ever made
to this matter by myself, and l only allude to
it now to add my testimony to that of the
little lad, that missing members do in some
mysterious way convey to US the sense of
feeling. l am we'll known in your commun-
ity, and the peculiar circumstances attending
my loss, if you desire you can publish.

WHILE walking along the shore in Austria
liza few weeks ago Mr.. Roy Barkley, an
English merchant, found himself slowly
sinking in the sand, and ON turning. to flee
was surprised and terrified by the earth sud-
denly opening and precipitating him a dis.
stance of about twenty feet into the bowels OF
the earth, where he lay bruised and bleeding
in an unconscious condition for hours. When
he awoke from his lethargy and regained the
uee of his faculties he attempted to escape
from the c1ve, for such it was, but could not,
and despairing of ever again treading the
sod of this terrestial sphere he sank to the
ground. The sea arose in short time, the
tide came ID, and the cavern was filed with
water, which soon compelled him to: swim
for his life. The water rapidly rose until the
cave was completely filled, and he, still swim
ming, was borne to the light Of day, and al
most miraculously escaped from a horrible

A HlGH.FLYER.
Professor Kichtel. Of Bridgeport. Conn.
PerEects q Machine for Navigating
Still Air.

Hartford Special to the Chicago Tribunel
The first successful exhibition, it is be-.
lieved, ever given of flying machine con-
trOllable by an aerOnaut without the use OF
ballast or the waste of gas was given here
this afternoon in the presence of large
assemblage The machine is the invention
of Prof. E. F. Richtel, of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
who, after seven years of experimenting, has
solved the problem which has so long defied
inventors and scientists. Those who wit
messed the exhibition believe that the right
principle has been found, and that aerial nav
igation is only question of time. Richtel's
machine differs from all previous Inventions
1t embraces balloon of horizontal cylindri-
cal shape, only twelve by twenty feet, hold
ing 5000 feet of gas, from which, sustained
by cords, is narrow framework of hollow
steel rods as long as the balloon, and pointed
at either end. The operator sits in his seat
at the center of the framework and turns q
crank, which revolves four-bladed air pro-
pellor, inclined horizontally Immediately be-
meath his seat, by which the balloon is ele-
vated or depressed at pleasure, the propeller
having a raising power of six pounds. At
one end of the framework is another air.
balloon may be propelled against the resist
wheel being of the steering propeller model.
With the operator on board the entire weight
slightly exceeds the lifting power of the gas
in the balloon, but this deficiency is supplied
by the propeller under the seat. Although
the conditions were unfavorable this after
noon, it being rainy, the exhibitor was emil
nently successful, rising to 100 feet. The
operators power of raising or lowering his
position was shown. Then he went off 100
rods, turned twice, and at signal from the
inventor started back against slight breeze
blowing, and landed in the exhibition grounds
amid applause. After showing Immediately
over the heads of the spectators the ease with
which he navigated in any direction, the ex.
hibition was terminated by heavy thunder
storm. Prof. RichteIs claims appear we'll
based-that is, the machine will keep moving
in the air until the operator wants to descend,
is wholly independent of ballast, and suffers
no waste of gas. Consequently, the machine
will float for an extended journey, is capable
of reaching favorable air currents without
loss of power, and of coming TO the ground
when desired. Two machines have been Or
dered for exhibition purposes at Niagara

A Marvellous TineDiece.
[FrOm the San Francisco Alta.

[From the San Francisco Alta.l
Messrs Wilson & Larsen, jewelers., at the
corner of Sutter and Kearny streets, have a
marvel in the horological art, in the shape OF
Matile watch, which they have disposed OF
to a gentleman of this city at the extraOrdi-
nary price of $4,000. 1t is this timepiece,
the construction of which is due to NJ. II. l..
Matile, of Locle, Switzerland, which attracted
so much attention in the Swiss section of the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876
This watch, which represents the highest pos.
sible type of its class, was two years in con-
struction. Inasmuch as it contains within its
own mechanism, an instance of every known
improvement of importance that has been
made in the art, it may truly be said to be
represented of the entire progress as well as
the present condition of matchmaking. The
Matile watch is about as large as the ordinary
gentleman's timepiece, and is, of course, a
-winder. 1t is q minute repeater-strik.
ing on musical bells the hour, the haif~hOur,
the quarter, and the number. of minutes -tha,
have elapsed of the unexpired quarter. Be.
sides this, it tells the time to the fifth of q
second, and, by means of double chrono-
graph arrangement, it notes the passage of
two distinct events or occurrences at the same
mcment-timing two horses, for instance,
starting at different times. Then it is calen-
dar, showing the days of the week and of
the month, and the month of the year; and
by means of wheel which makes a fourth
of revolution in year, actually noting the
quadrennial recurrence of the goth Of Feb
.ruary, when leap-year brings that day into
being. Finally. it shows the phases of the
moon as that luminary presents them, by
means of a diminutive moon duly progress
ing on a miniature horizon. Withal, the
Matile watch has first-class record as an
exact timekeeper from the observatory of
Neuchatel, whose tests of these instruments
are extremely severe -often covering more
than forty days of close comparison. In
this watch, then, we have the finality of the
art, reaching point of excellence beyond
which it is little likely to progress. That
California should have such marvellous time
piece-the best watch in the worlds a SUBJ
ject of more than ordinary interest.

Good Friday for President Hayes.

from the Dayton Journal
1t has been heretofore remarked that Fri
day is a good day for President Hayes. We

order:
/. Hayes was nominated for President on
Friday.
2. On Friday, it was definitely declared
that he had received the majority in the Elec-
toral College.
3. The Electoral Commission was author
lied ON Friday.
4. On Friday the Congress of the United
States declared Rutherford B. Hayes the law
fully elected President of the United States.
The Conspiracy Commission which has
proved disastrous to the Confederate Democ-
racy was authorized on Friday.
6. The House, on Friday, June 14th, de-
clared that the Democratic effort, by means
of the Conspiracy Committee, to disturb the
title of President Hayes, is revolutionary .

The constitutional Point at Issue.
From the Boston Advertiser.l

IFrom the Boston Advertiser.l
There is studied determination to put out
of sight the truth---which serieos men of all
parties understood year ago-wich the
Electoral Commission proclaimed. It was
not that they had examined the Florida poll
books, or those of Louisiana. It was that
nobody had any right to examine them in the
stage. to which affairs had come This SIM
pie constitutional proposition was assented to
at the time because it was true. And, at that
time, all the smaller States saw that their ex-
istence for any purpose depended on the
proclamation OF that truth. Mr. Hayes
election is standing monument. and re-
markable one, Of the power and the rights of
The small States under our Constitution.

ChrOmOs at Horse Races.

The law against pool-selling at races in
Massachusetts was ingeniously evaded at Bea-
con Park recently. The pool-seller became
an ordinary auctioneer, and sold to the high
est bidder elegant chromos of the horses en-
tered for the races, repurchasing them after
the race was over. The bidding was as spir-
tied as though the chromos were desirable
works of art, and brought in some cases bet
ter prices than the works of eminent artists
