A Long and Cruel Ride.

Captain Salvi, says the London Sports.
man, October Is, has successfully &C.
complished the feat of riding from Ber-
gamo, in Lombardy, to Naples, a dis
lance of 900 kilometres, or about $50
English miles, in ten days, on Ieda, q
Sandman mare, the property of an
Italian ca yalry officer. The mare il Sar-
dinian, born and bred, but her grandsire
was a pure Arab. She stands little
over 14} hands, and is said to be about
seven years old, gray, with an Arab fore
head, and very plain hind quarters. The
last stage, from Caserta to Naples, was
ridden not without the greatest diff
Guilty, the gallant little mare being dis
tressed beyond measure. On arriving
within the precincts of the city, with
half an hour to spare, she was unable to
move an inch further, and could not pro.
coed to the cavalry barracks, as had been
arranged. She had to be put up at the
nearest stable, where she lay down dead
beat, trembling all over and refusing
food and water. Thanks, however, to
the care bestowed upon her, she was
comparatively all right again the follow
ing day. Captain Salvi started from
Bergamo on the 23d ult., at 10 A. NJ, and
arrived at Naples on the Sd inst. at half
past nine A. N. Previous to starting he
made bet Of 6,000f. to do the distance
in ten days.

A stranger sat in the corner of the
car hence to New York in an easy atti-
tude, his feet upon large black trunk.
The geRtlemanly conductor, going his
rounds, at the first station politely in
formed the stranger that the trunk must
be put in the baggage car. To which
the stranger nothing replied. At the
second station the displeased conductor
more decidedly told the stranger that he
n'',at put the trunk in the baggage car.
Io r-.-h the stranger nothing replied.
At the third station the vexed oonduc-
tor more imperatively told the stranger
that he must put the trunk in the Dag
gage car or it would be put off the train.
To which the stranger nothing replied.
At the fourth station the irate conduc-
tor had the trunk put off and left. At
the fifth station the Modified conductor,
addressing the stranger, begged him to
remember that he had but done what
his duty required, and that he had only
done it after repeated warnings, and
that it was solely the strangers fault.
To which the stranger laoonically re-
piled: Don't care, faint my trunk

of our people to make ,devout and public
confession of their constant dependence
and happiness, and of ptblic peace and
prosperity, exhibits in the record of the

thanksgiving. Exuberant harVests, produc-

try. The resources thus far furnished to
our reviving industry and expanding COM

favor of Providence, have given way to con-

by universal sympathy and succoul
which have flowed to their relief, and the

places of worship, there to give thanks ant
praise to Almighty God for His mercies
ana to devoutly beseech their continuance
In witness whereof have hereunto Sc

For the edi6cation and satisfaction of
those who like to have the doors shut
aud the temperature of sitting room at
70 degrees Fahrenheit, we quote some
consol atory remarks on the subject of
Heat is Life-Cold is Death, from the
Scient.ti: american. ave take cold be-
cause our vitality is too low to ward off
the effects of the reduced Temperature
around US. As a matter of first impor
lance, then, to resist cold and the various
arrangements of the system consequent,
it is necessary by proper nutrition to
maintain our natural animal heat; Sec
ond, to retain this heat by sufficient
quantity of clothing; third, to regulate
with care the temperature Of the air we
breath. Contrary to the opinion current
among lovers of cold weather, a,fire in a
bedroom in the winter is cheaper and
better than q doctors bill; for, owing to
our inactive condition during sleep, the
circulation of the vitalizing blood is both
slow and imperfect, and hence the dan
ger OF taking cold by breathing cold air
is greatly increased. A cold is the be-
ginning of everything that.sis bid. If
any one conscious Of having caught one
feels cold tcbills creeping MP the. back,
let him apply mustard plaster to the
bottom Of the spine and lower part of
the back at once; and BY 90 doing be
may avert 1 dangerous illness before it
is too late and medical advice ca be
procured. It should never be forgotten
that "heat is life-cold Is DEATH"

How the Governor Of Cyprus Was
Battered In the Crimea.

FROM the army and navy journal.
A biography of Sir Garnet J. Wool
sey, in two volumes, thus describes the
injuries he received in the Crimea, where
round shot struck gabion filled with
stones, near which he was standing, scat
tering it's contents with terrific violence,
instantaneously killing the poor fellows
by his side the head of one man being
taken of, while the other was disem-
boweled. As for himself, he lay senseless
until sergeant Of the sappers picked
him up; and, after a time, he rallied
sufficiently to avail himself of the assist
ance of this man and of Prince Victor
Hohenlohe, who, coming up, helped him
to walk to the doctors hut in the
trenches. He just managed to totter so
far, and was laid down outside the hut
in semi-unconscious state. Prince
Victor called the attention of the sur
geon to his newly arrived patient, and
the reply was, after a hasty glance, fol
he was too busy Just then to examine
him, "He'e a dead 'un." This reused
up the wounded officer, who, though hall
unconscious, seemed to regard the re.
mark in the light of reflection, and
turning himself as as he lay there
all smothered in blood, he made answer,

wree not distinguishabie as those of q
human being, while blood flowed from
innumerable wounds caused by the
stones with which he had been struck.
Sharp fragments were imbedded all ove1
his face, and his left cheek had been al.
most completely cut away. The docto,
fancied, after probing the wounds, that
his jaw-bone was shattered, but Wolseley
made him pull out the substance in hi
mouth, when a large stone came away
The surgeon then lifted up and stitched
the cheek. Both his eyes were complete
ly closed, and the injury to one of then
was so serious that the sight has been
permanently lost. Not square inch Of
his face but what was battered and cut
about, while his body was wounded all
over, just as if he had been peppered
with small shot. He had received also
severe wound on his right leg, so that
both limbs had now been injured, s
wound in the left thigh, received in Bur
NAH, rendering him slightly lame. Fol
many years afterwards the wound on the
shin, received on the 30th of August
caused him much suffering, and when
on duty in Canada, nearly ten years af
ter the event, he was under the necessity
of returning to England for medical ad
vice regarding the bone, which wa!
exfOliating.
