a miraculous Escape.

miraculous Escape.
On Friday morning last one Of the most mir
aculous escapes from an awful death We have
seen recorded lately was made by Mr.. John
Eison, upon the railroad just opposite Mr.
Nicholsons warehouse.
Mr. Eison had been drinking freely during the
day and his way home, about II o'clock,
in getting the railroad track fell and uncon-
! sci""sly laid there and went to sleep: About
L.fna ia and in turning the short curve
h'm' Si--AnGiue struck and passed over
IN time to reNeSse the engine%-.VwHhtss2ycrcd him
very slow at the tme--and stop i, befars -::rrs
cars struck him. He was taken to Mr. lhe
Davis bar room and DR.. RI. S. Beatty sent, ,ior.
Upon examination it was found that he haitre-
ccivcA no fatal injuries. His heal WAS bruised,
the side OF one foot badly crushed, his hacl;
and arm considerably LrEiscl. lie was taken
home the next morning, and we learn is now so
nearly recovered that he can walk about. How
he escaped bcing crushed or manglcl to death
is truly miraculous.

How to Keep Warm in Cold Weather.

THAT an ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure, and that it is
easier to avoid taking cold than to cure
a cold afper it is once taken, is undoubt-
edly one of the old saws the truth of
which nobody will deny. Yet with all
our boasted knowledge of hygiene we
spend the winter in our lives in alter
mating between lighthouses and refrig-
orators, and then wonder that we take
cold. For example, going out of our
furnace-heated houses into the air we
wrap ourselves up to the ears, which is
all very well; but going again out of
the cold air into the warm atmosphere
of church or theater we sit in our heavy
wraps, and then, Overheated, go back
into the cold out of doors. The habit
of wearing furs, especially for hours at
time while visiting and shopping, is
often found so to weaken the powers of
resistance in the wearers that they be-
come the ready victims of Inflammation
of the throat and lungs. To such an
extent does this occur in our large cities
that many eminent physicians earnest
ly advise their patients against the use
of furs, il being better in their opinion,
not to wear them at all than fail to re-
move them while in a warm room, and
their advice when followed has not un-
frequently been attended with the most
satisfactory results. Another medical
Injunction for cold weather is well worth
following: On going out into the cold air
keep your mouth shut, and breathe
through the nostrils, thus guarding the
throat and lungs from the sudden shock
,f ha ipKr 70 int
them. Every one knows how beneficial it
is to health to wear flannel or silk next
the skin during cold weather; but many
persons do not know that the tightness
or lOoseness of weaving makes a great
difference in the non-conducting power
of the garment. The fact was discov-
cred by Sir Humphrey Davy in his ex-
periments with linen, cotton, wool and
silk, in which he found that these ma.
terials conducted heat in the order given
above; and also that the power was
diminished when the fabric was loosely
woven; so that the more elastic the gar
ment is the better will it serve its pur-
pose as a safeguard against cold. 1t
has been found, also, that paper is eX-
cellent as a non-conductor of heat. A
double layer of newspapers placed be-
meath carpet not only serves to pre-
serve the carpet but increases the
warmth of the room. A layer of them
between old sheets is said to be a good
blanket as to warmth, and basted inside
a vest or dress body, between the
shoulders, it protects the lungs from
chills and keeps sensitive backs warm.
Indeed, perforated paper blankets from
New England were patented a year or
two ago. Newspapers pasted double
over cracks will effectually keep out the
wind.-PhiiadeLphiG Times.

A Sudden Marriage.

The frequent weddings are all that
saves this city from social dullness.
There was a slightly sensational one Sat
urday evening. BY the way of premis-
ing, will say that Monday is inspection
day at the Marine Barracks. After in
spection the officers utilize the band for
dance. Young ladies doat on these
informal gayeties, and flock to the bar
racks. About two months ago Miss
Fanny Rose attended one of these
dances, and was introduced to Lieut..
Franklin, of the navy. On Thursday
last the young gentleman was ordered
to report for duty with the squadron at
Yokohama. He flew to his inamorata,
and stated that he must tear himself
away from her presence. "Will you
be mine now, or wait three yearsP'' he
anXiously inquired. "Now, now," re-
sponded the fond girl. "Ahr' said he
~ thought you were the girl for q
brave sailor boy. Promptness is the
first requisite in those who would obey
orders" And then they parted; he to
make some preparations for the COM
ing event, and she to startle mother and
sister with the announcement that there
was to be a wedding in the family, and
sad parting. The girl overruled
every objection, and set to work to look
after her wardrobe, that first requisite
for the new life. A travelling dress
was improvised, friends were notified,
a license taken out and clergyman sur
pliced, Saturday evening found the
preparations complete, and the girl of
nineteen, who has never been separated
from her mother, has forsaken her, and
home, and friends, and gone to Cali
fornia with husband who is almost a
stranger, The young couple will sail
early in January for China, there to re-
main three years. May every happi-
ness attend them, and may the romance
of the sudden marriage never wear of;
but the chances are all against the girl,
who goes TO the new and untried life so
far away from those she has always
known, and to nation so unlike any
thing in her previous experience.

Characteristic of him and his whole po-
litical career that he should adopt the
worst possible means to obtain the de-
sired end. But the question people are
interested in now is not whether he is
likely to have his ambition gratified.
That is too remote and improbable q
contingency for serious consideration.
What we desire 10 call attention TO now
is the fact that his parrot-like iteration
of the word Fraud and its derivatives
has no other meaning than this. There
is nothing sincere about it. He does
not believe he has been defrauded. He
has no hopes of getting Hayes out or
himself in. He only dreams Of living
long enough to reimpose himself upon
the Democratic party as its next Presi
dental candidate, partly by persuasion,
partly by purchase, and to float grace
fully into the White House on top of a
tidal-wave which he thinks will be along
about that time. He thinks he will be
aided in his plans by the sympathy of
the people. If he can represent him
self as deeply injured man and con-
vince the people that he is one, he hopes
to be solaced with the Presidency, as a
child is soothed with a sugar-plum, II
is comforting to know that he has over
reached himself; that the very cry which
he has raised to ingratiate himself with
the Democratic party has offended that
party deeply, and that he has only sue
ceeded in proving himself a weak and
cowardly old man, not in completing
the ruin of the party which made him its
chief representative. ~ Chicago Tribune
