How to Keep Cool.

Few subjects are so entirely misun-
derstood as that of keeping comfortable
in hot weather. The majority of people
discard their fannels when the almanac
says summer; or at best when hot
weather fairly sets mas if there was
any heat in flannel. There is no excuse
for this ignorance upon subject of
such vast importance, and yet few peo-
pie give it second thought. Every
one knows that the temperature of the
human body in health is about 100 deg.
This does not mean July and January
alone, but always, winter, spring, sum-
mer and fall. Very good; now let us
understand distinctly the fact that there
is no warmth in clothing Of any kind; it
acts simply as a non-conductor of both
heat and cold. Let us take very hot
day, when the thermometer indicates
100 deg. in the shade; what effect has
the flannel? It absorbs the perspira-
ton, instead of letting it soak into the
outer clothing, which cannot be changed
every day as the underclothing can and
should be. Therefore, a proper regard
for cleanliness should induce us to re-
tain our fannels.
Then, again, as to the question of heat
and cold. When we know that the body
is at 100 deg. on the inside of the fan
mel, and the air at 100 deg. on the out
side, what has our flannel barricade to
keep out or to keep in2 Nothing
Therefore, it should be evident to the
dullest intellect that the only effect they
have during the heat of the day is favor
able to comfort; but wait until the sun
goes down and the damp of the evening
approaches. A cool breeze springs up.
Now what effect have the fannels +?
for the time has come when they do
perform very important and life-saving
service. A., who doesn't wear under
clothing, begins to SILVER a little-the
cold finger of death just giving him a
warning touch-and he gets up after
awhile, remarkipg that it is getting
rather too cool now, and goes into the
house, while b. who has worn his fan
mel through the day, complaining less
of the heat, DOW experiences delight
full sense of comfort-doesn't feel any
chill, and thus avoids the cold that very
likely throws A. into a fever, from
which, If he escapes with his life, let us
hope he will be wise enough to wear
wooden underclothes all the year round
in future. This is not written in the in
terest of dealers in mourning apparel,
undertakers or the medical profession,
whose profits are chiefly derived from
people who don't wear flannel in hot
weather.

What is Going On In Cuba.

Gen. Antonio Macco, the well-known
COMMANDMENT. Chief of the Cuban
patriot forces, arrived in New York a
few days ago. The General has been
wounded twenty-one times since the be.
ginning of the campaign, and now car
ries in his body four bullets. He says
during the past six years the patriots
have been constantly promised aid from
this country, but up to the present time
they have received absolutely nothing
The strength of the patriot army, he
says, is not much over 1000 men, but
they are well-armed and drilled, and in
fine condition. They have opposed to
them over 10000 Spanish troops, who
give the patriots not moments peace.
The General asserts that there is not the
slightest truth in the report of his sur
render. He says: 81 have made no
terms whatever with the Spanish Gov
eminent. / am commissioned here by
the Provisional Government, and by the
courtesy of Gen. Campos was permitted
to pass through the lines. The war
must continue. There is now no more
Congress or standing Government, and
affairs are under the direction of Manuel
Calvar, head of the Provisional Govern
ment."

Bloody Duel.

A bloody encounter occurred near
Forest Depot, Va, recently, resulting
in the killing of one and probably fatal
wounding of another well-known citi-
zen of that county. Alex. Sliey and
Frost Coles, brothers-in-law. got into a
quarrel on their farm near there, re-
Gently, about the heigth of growing
corn in the field. Coles called Sliey
liar. The latter challenged him to NOR
tai combat, and bowie knives for weapons
were chosen. There being no person
on the place to act as second in the
strange combat, an old negro man, a
laborer on the farm, was pressed into
the service and made to become an I'M
willing witness to the strange deed. The
negro was directed to pitch in and par
ticipate whenever either one of the two
combatants took an advantage of the
other Sliey and Coles were men Of
herculean strength, and the combat was
close one, lasting nearly an hour.
After the first few lunges Coles received
a painful wound in the shoulder, which,
instead of disabling him, only seemed to
madden him, and ne pressed his antag-
onist more closely, inficting three
wounds in Sliey's breast. At this iunct-
ure the old negro implored the COM
batants, with teare in his eyes, to desist.
The gladiatcrs refused to listen, and the
fight continued until both of the men
fell, covered with wounds. Sliey had
received four. one of these penetrating
his left lung, from which he died before
medical aid could reach him. Coles
was wounded in three places. several of
which are quite serious. He was re-
moved to the woods in conveyance. it
is believed, furnished 10y the old negro.
who witnessed the fight. Sliey and
Coles were wealthy and highly connected
in the State. Before the war Coles was.

gsrn1kTnHG ADVENTURE.

Diver I'm the Clutches of ~ Devii-fish-
Qsrom The vsrrnanbool (Australia) Standard
The diver engaged at the Moyne river,
Belfast, in removing the reef, had a
rather narrow escape from losing his
life on Thursday evening, 7th inst. 1t
appears that Mr.. Smale had fired oil a
charge of dynamite and displaced a
large quantity Of stones at the bottom OF
the river. He went down to prepare
for lifting these stones by the aid OF
chains into the punt. While engaged in
rolling over large stone he saw some
thing which he supposed at the time was
piece of clean looking kelp moving
in front of where he was working. In
few seconds this object came in contact
with the divers arm, about which it
quickly coiled, partly holding him. I'M
mediately Mr.. Smale touched what was
coiled round his arm he became aware
of his position, and tried to extricate
himself from the grasp of "sea-devil,
but found it far more difficult job than
he anticipated. Catching hold OF tho
part hanging from the arm he walked
along the bottom of the river toward the
end of it, when he was firmly held by
one of the feelers of q large octopus,
better known among sailors as the
"devil- h." Mr.. Smale tried to pull
the fish off from it's hold of the rocks,
but without effect for some time. At
last the fish, perhaps thinking it had got
sufficient hold or power upon It's prey,
loosened itself from the stones and
quickly transferred it's feelers or arms.
around the Divers legs and body. In
this position Mr.. Smale thought the
best thing for him to do was to get up
on deck as soon as possible, and he
quickly made tracks for the ladder
which reaches from the deck of the punt
to the bottom of the river The diver
was certainly a curious looking object
when he came up. This huge, ugly
looking thing appeared to be entangled
all over him, holding him in a firm en-
brace. However, Mr.. Smale's fellow
workmen were not long in freeing him
from the unfriendly hug of his subma-
rine companion. The body portion OF
the octopus was only about the size OF
large soup-plate, with eyes in its head
like those of a sheep, but it possessed
nine arms, each about four feet in
length, at the butt as thick as a mans.
wrist, tapering off at the end to as fine
point as that of pen-knife; thus it could
spread over an area of nine feet in diam
eter. All the way along the underneath
part of each feeler are suckers every
quarter of an inch, giving it immense
power. Mr.. Smale declares it was
powerful enough to keep three men un--
der water

A Human Skeleton Inside of a Horse.

A miner in the Black Hills, writing to
a friend, in this city, tells of horrible
reminder of the fearful snow-storms OF
last winter, and of the perils of those
who were caught out and lost their way
on the plains. He says that recently,
while he and two others were crossing
the country, they came upon the skele-
ton of horse, within which was the
skeleton of man, with the grinning
skull looking out at them from between
the ribs of the animal, like the prisoner
peering through the bars Of his cell.
The two skeletons told the whole story.
The man had killed his horse, cut him
open, and crawled inside of him, think
ing to thus escape perishing of cold, but
the flesh of the animal froze solid, and
the man was as much of prisoner as if
he had been shut in by walls of iron.
The wolves and carrion birds had
stripped the greater part of the flesh
from both skeletons. The miner con-
cludes his description by saying: cit
was sight shall never forget. I can
see it now whenever I close my eyes. -

Frightfui Explosion.

A tremendous explosion lately took
place in the torpedo factory of the Rus
sian Government at Otchkoff, near
Cronstadt, where several hundred men
were employed at the time. The work
shops, the naval laboratory, and the stor-
age houses, containing in addition to
torpedoes an immense quantity of py-
roxiline, were blown to pieces and scat
tered to great distances. The concus-
sion was felt for miles, and it was thought
that the English had opened furi-
GUS bombardment. The powder was re-
moved from the magazine of the garri-
son before the flames reached it. All
houses within a circumference of two
miles were more or less damaged. Dur
ing the following day peasants brought
fragments of the disaster from dis
lance of five miles, and steamers arrived
which had picked them up ten miles out
at sea. The cause of the explosion was
thought to have been spontaneous COM
bustion. Twelve persons only were
killed.

NEWS OF THE week.
FOREIGN NEWS.

Lord John Russell, the distinguished
English statesman, is dead. He was &c years
Of age.
A terrible marine disaster occurred
in the English channel on the morning OF the
3lst ult. The German squadron, consisting OF
the ironclads Prussen, Grosser Kurfurst and
Knnie Wilhelm, were steaming down the
channel. en- route for Plymouth. When oppo-
site Ludgate, England, about i've miles from
the shore, the Kenig Wilhelm ran into
the Grosser Kurfurst. The shock was terrific,
the latter vessel filling and sinking within five
minutes after the collision. To add to the
horrors of the situation, the boilers OF the
vessel exploded, scattering death and destruc-
ton in every direction. The ill-fated vessel
had ON board 600 persons, about 400 OF whom
were lost. The Grosser Kurfurst was built In
1874. and was one OF the most powerful iron
clads in the German navy.
Another attempt has been made to
murder the Emperor William OF Germany.
He was wounded in one arm and on the cheek,
but his burts are not dangerous. The shots
were fred while the Emperor's carriage WAS
passing house in which the assassin, a Dr.
Modelling, occupied apartments When tho
doors was forced, the doctor attempted to kill
himself. but his life was saved in order that II
may be taken, hereafter, by the public execu
toner. The weapon used by the would-be
assassin was double barreled shotgun. The
Emperor received about thirty small shot i'll
the face, head, both arms, and back.

The Greeks are greatly dissatisfied
with the prospect of an agreement between
England and Russia, because it is supposed
the annexation of Thessaly to Greece will be
thereby rendered impracticable. In CONSTANT
nople there is equal discomfort, the Turks
fearing that the terms Of the settlement, while
guarding English and Russian interests, will be
not less injurious than the treaty Of San Stefano
itself to the Turkish empire.

A terribly destructive tornado visited
the town Of Richmond No., few days ago,
causing distressing loss of life and property.
The storm leveled everything in its path, a
breadth of at least 800 yards, demolishing
buildings to their foundations, stripping trees
OF their bark and foliage, and leveling
everything as if swept by torrent. Over
100 houses in the town and vicinity were swept
away. Twelve persons were killed outright,
and upward of 100 injured, many of them be-
yond hope OF recovery. The cyclone was the
color of steam, and at times the funnel-shaped
cloud would break open in places and emit
what appeared like black smoke, then
gather together again, and, with in
creased force, continue en- its march
OF destruction. At first it approached slowly
not faster, perhaps, than man could walk.
Then it moved faster, leveling everything in its
