AbOut Colds.

The late Charles Sumner was a mem Der of 8 consumptive family all of his brothers and sisters but one, were at- tackled by it as they reached manhood and womanhood. The disease began to develop itself in MT. Sumner very early in his public career. He was advised by his physician in Boston to dress warmly, protect his feet and body, and live in the open air, saving wood, and engaging as far as possible in manual labor; leading, in short, the life a laboring man would lead out doors, and supplementing this regimen by sanitary precautions of temperature, diet and personal habits when no longer in the open air. In conclusion, we will add for the benefit of that class of the com. munity who, as is truly said, delight in remedies and despise precautions, the recipe for cold given by General George Washington to an old lady in Newport when very young girl in 1781. He was lodged in her fathers house the old Vernon mansion-and as shs was sent early to bed with a bad cold he remarked to Mrs. Vernon "My own remedy, my dear madam, is always to eat, just before I step into bed, a hoi roasted onion if I have cold.

mitted amendments, the first striking out v Oct. l, 1879," so as to make United States notes immediately receivable for payment of custom duties The second amendment offered by him was as follows " Provided that the money hereafter received from any sale of United States bonds shall be applied only to the redemption of other bonds bearing the
 highest rate of interest and subject to call and provided that whenever, from time to time. the proceeds of the sales of bonds shall aggre- gate $3, 900 900, the secretary of the treasury shall issue call for that amount of bonds and the interest on the bonds called for redemption shall cease in thirty days from the date of such cau and all United States notes received into the treasury shall be reissued and kept in cir culation without change in the aggregate amount of the several denominations existing on May 31, 1878; ,; and it shall not be lawful to issue legal-tender notes of & larger denomina- tion than $1 ,000.' The amendment was sup ported by Messrs. Ewing, Kelley and Phillips, and opposed by Messrs. Garfield, Price Chit tenden, etc. MT. Garfield's motion to lay the bill and amendments on the table wss agreed to by Al to no. The Senate amendments to agreed to; and the bill went to the President Adjourned.
 conference committee on the internal revenue bill was ordered. Bills were intro duced: By MT. Cox, of New York, to retire national bank notes. It provides that when ever any national bank notes shall be received at the treasury, it shall be the duty of the treasurer to burn or otherwise destroy them, and in place thereof to issue an equal amount of United States notes of the same denomina- tion and no more national bank notes shall be printed or issued or paid out by the treasurer or the assistant treasurer By MT. Kelley, authorizing the issue of coupon certificates of deposit to aid in refunding the national debt. The sundry civil appropriation bill was then passed. It appropriates $16, ,936 000.

A Lake Village in Switzerland,

The remains of another lake village have just been brought to light at Tor cas.by the shrinkage of the waters of the lake of Bienne. The village, assigned by experts to the age of s, one, is situat- ed at a short distance rom the shore, not far from another and singular sta- tion which was explored in 1873. An exploration conducted by Dr. Gross has resulted in the gathering of many novel and interesting objects, pierced stone hatchets, similar to those found in Den- mark, large flint lance-heads, jade hatchets with stag horn and wooden hafts fastened with pitch vessels in wood, among others colander and 0 vase in a good state of preservation. Near these were found several arms and instruments of pure copper, a circum- stance which points to the probability that interemdiate between the age of bronze and the age of stone was period when prehistoric men had not discover ed the art of alloying copper with tin. This was the age of copper of North America Still more remarkable is a find of human skulls, which bear un- mistakable marks of having been tre- banned. Round pieces have been cut out, doubtless after death, for use as amulets, and pieces of infants cranea were found in the skulls of the dead, put there to protect the bodies from the wiles and assaults of evil beings in the world of spirits.

Narrow Escape of Mill Operatives.

A fire in the Atlantic mill, at Cohoes, N. Y., destroyed that structure and & part of North's block adjacent, causing loss of about $6O,000. About one hundred operatives, mostly women, were in the mill when the fire was dis covered, and their efforts to escape re- suited in a panic, which for time threatened serious loss of life. The hands in the picker-room, which is in the basement of the mill, escaped by rear door, but those in the upper de- partments were unable, on account of the flames and smoke, to descend by the main stairway, and were obliged to seek safety by the way of the roof. The frightened crowd clambered up the stairs in desperate effort to reach the skylight. On reaching it the open ing proved to be so small as to allow only one person to pass through at a time. Those waiting below shouted for help, their cries thrilling the thousands of people in the street, of whom many were anxiously inquiring for relatives and friends known to be in the burning building. The struggle on the stairs was mad fight for life. The women, almost suffocated by smoke and panic stricken by the roar of the flames below, madly pushed and struggled at the contracted opening. Some fell in swoons, and others put their heads out of windows and gesticulated imploringly to the crowd in the street below. At length almost all reached the roof, the last half dozen climbing the stairs through the flames. One boy was fatally burned, and another, who jumped from third story window after vainly trying to reach the roof, was severely injured. After they reached the roof they made their way to other buildings and passed down to the street.

THE BLACK DEATH,

Terrible Details of Russsa's Visitation
 Whole Towns Laid Waste-Exlt from
 Russia Cut Of.
 A private letter from St. Petersburg, received in New York, gives the follow ing graphic details of the terrible plague which IS raging in many districts of Russia:
 ''I have sad story to tell. You have probably heard some reports about the epidemic prevailing in Russia. It is most fearful disease, brought here by the soldiers from the East. It has spread i'll the southern provinces of Russia at rapid rate. Thousands upon thousands have died with 1t within the last five days. The victims when taken live only about two hours, and turn black ali over. All the physicians or dered Go the care of the sick have died within twenty-four hours after their arrival. The corpses are burned, and so are the houses in which the people die. Whole towns have been laid waste dur ing the last few days. The government has placed cordon of soldiers around the infected provinces so that the people cannot get out and spread the disease. Any who attempt to leave or break through the cordon are shot dead on the spot.
 "The people are beginning to feel uneasy all over the empire. The gov ernment, of course, does not allow the news to get out. All reports are SUD- pressed, but the worst of all is that no- body can get out of the empire. The Austrian and German governments have placed double cordon of soldiers along all the frontiers, preventing all persons from entering their territory from Rus sia. All persons from Russia by rail read are stopped at the frontier and de- tained twenty days in quarantine, their baggage and clothing disinfected, and if they prove ali right after the lapse of twenty days, they are permitted to cross the border. During the twenty days quarantine people are housed in large sheds and barns, without any accommo- dations or comforts. Of course, a knowledge of this fact keeps people from travelling There is no possibility of slipping out anywhere.
 "May God grant that the disease black pest, as they call 1t here-may in some way be checked. believe the government is doing all in it's power to prevent the disease from spreading; but if it is not stayed soon then the victims may fall by the thousands daily. It IS much worse than the yellow fever WAS in the South last summer. It was brought by Tartar soldier month ago, who, on leaving the Turkish terri tory, pulled off from 8 dead Turk on the battlefield handsome silk shawl, which he tied around his body. On arriving in his native town he presented the shawl to his sweetheart. girl of nine teen years. She tied it around her body and danced about for joy in room in which were some twenty five people. In two hours she died, and five hours after the introduction of the shawl into the room the whole party of twenty-five had died. All turned black In three days the whole town, containing 1, 100 people, had died, with the exception of forty three persons, who had fled in time. From this town the pest began spread ing all over the country

A Farmers Salary.

A writer asks What does a farmer question:
 He receives the equivalent of larger salary than ninety-nine out of a hun dred of them are willing to admit. They under estimate their own profits, and ovet-estimate the profits of men living on salary.
 There is a great difference among those who live by farming. A great many work the soil because they do not know what else to do, or because they cannot live by anything else.
 Many of this class hardly deserve to be classed as farmers. They lower the standard of farning as business.
 believe there is no business by which a man can live so we'll with so much neglect as in agriculture.
 Still, nothing better repays good care and ability. It is rather slow to yield brilliant returns at the outset so is any business.
 The farmers profits are concealed in the rise of lands, in improvements by ditching, clearing anl new buildings, more land, more tools, or better stock.
 Most farmers have no idea how much it costs them to live. They forget to figure in the pork, poultry, mutton, butter, four, vegetables, etc.
 The salary-man lives entirely by his individual efforts. In estimating 8 salary, we must do so by looking at the privileges enjoyed, the hard work of the brain and muscles, and the gain in property and improvement.

Camels in Arizona.

The Yuma Sentinel says: GA herd
 of camels was driven here from Nevada nearly two years ago. Finding no profit
 able work for them, their owners turned them loose along the Gila to the east : ward of Yuma. There they have been living and breeding, looking fat and sleek all the time. For while they were in danger of extermination. When- ever they put in an appearance along the wagon road they frightened mules and horses beyond control of the drivers. They soon earned the ever lasting hatred of teamsters, some of whom acquired habit of shooting camels on sight. Since. however, the railroad has been delivering freight at Adonde the road along the Gila this side of that place has been compara- lively abandoned by teamsters, and the remaining camels have good chance to show what they can do in the way of propagation. The waterless desert of Sonora, south and southeast of Yuma, is known to possess immense deposits of salt, sulphur, bornx and soda. It's mountains are also known to carry ex- tensive deposits of metals. To these camels we look for eventually making these treasures accessible and available.

A Safe Companion.

This is trying season for invali Is. particularly those suffering or liable to suffer from Biliousness, Kidney Com : plaints and Constipation of the Bowels, and to women subject to the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex.
 Indications of sickness should at once be attended to. Fatal disease may be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated, and the system remain in a disordered condition. An ounce of pre- vention is worth pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying. Therefore we advise all who are troubled with con- plaints now so common-indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, con stipation of the bowels and 8 feverish state of the skin, to take without delay Dr. Kennedy's FAvORITE REMEDY. It only costs one dollar bottle. Posi- lively there is no medicine so harmless and yet so decisive in it's action. People leaving home at this season of the year should not fail to take bottle of this medicine with them. It has an almost instantaneous effect, relieving the pr son of headache in few minutes, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surround ing bile; and this excellent medicine is for sale by all our druggists.
 When inquiring of your druggist for this new medicine, avoid MISTAKES by remembering the name, Dr. David KENNEDY's FAVORITE REMEDY. and the PRICE, which is only ONE DOL LAR bottle, and that the Dr. s address | is Rondout, N. Y.-TED.
