To Attain Long Life.

He who strives after a long and
pleasant term of life must seek to at
tain continual equanimity and carefully
toavoid everything which too violently
taxes his feeling. Nothing more con
sumes the vigor of life than the VIC
lence of the emotions ofthe mind. We
know that anxiety and care can de-
stroy the healthiest body we know
that fright and fear-yes. excess of
joy, become deadly. They who are
naturally cool and of quiet turn of
mind, upon whom nothing can make
too powerful an impression, who are
not wont to be excited either by great
sorrow or great joy, have the best
chance of living long and happy after
their manner. Preserve therefore,
under all circumstances a cOmposure
of mind which no happiness, no mis-
fortune, can too much disturb. Love
nothing too violently; hate nothing
too passionately; fear nothing too
strongly.

Fungi in Man.

The human ear is sometimes attack
ed by a disease which shows itself in
the form of raining sore; in many
cases the tympanum is destroyed and
hearing lost before the nature of the
malady is discovered. The disease is
due to the growth of microscopic
plant or fungus of the Aspergillus
family. 1t especially thrives when,
from any cause, the secretion of wax
in the ear is stopped or hindered. The
microscope is valued assistant in the
discovery of this fungus.
Consumption, the most disastrous
malady that alllicts humanity, is now
said to be caused by a yeast plant that
lIourishes in the blood. The presence
of this fungus in the blood is readily
shown by the microscope, and now
forms the subject of careful thought
among physicians.
DIR. Ephraim Cutter, NJ. D., OF Bos-
ton, Mass, has devoted much labor to
this subject, and. we understand, has
recently produced acknowledgements
of the fungus with Tolles' remarkable
apparatus.
We believe that DIR. James II. Sal
isbury, of Cleveland, Ohio, was among
the earliest to detect and describe this
curious yeast plant Of the blood.

HUXLEY TO THE BOYS.
Importance in Life Of Industry and
Physical Endurance.

Extract from an address recently
delivered by Prof. Huxley on the &C
casion of distributing prises at Uni
versity College, London:
Quickness in learning, readiness and
accuracy in reproducing what is learnt,
industry, endurance these are the
qualities, mixed in very various pro-
portions, which are found in boys who
win prizes. Now there is not the
smallest doubt that every one of these
qualities is of great value in practical
life. Upon whatever career you may
enter intellectual quickness, industry
and the power of bearing fatigue are
three great advantages. But l want to
impress upon you and through You up
on those who will direct your future
course, the conviction which l enter
tain that as general rule the relative
importance Of these three qualifica-
tions is not rightly estimated and that
there are otherqualities ofnO less value
which are not directly tested by school
competition. A somewhat varied ex-
perience Of men has led me the longer
l live TO set the less value upon mere
clsveTness to attach more and more
importance to industry and to physical
endurance. Indeed, l am much dis
posed to think that endurance is the
most valuable quality of all for in
dustry, as the desire to work hard docs
not come to much if a feeble frame is
unable to respond to the desire
Every body who has had to make his
way in the world must know that
while the occasion for intellectual eff
fort of high order is rare, it constant
ly happens that mans future turns
upon his being able to stand a sudden
and heavy strain upon his powers of
endurance. To a lawyer, a physician
or a merchant it may be everything
to be able to work sixteen hours day
for as long as is needful without knock
ing up. Moreover, the patience, ten
acity and good humor which are among
the most important qualifications for
dealing with men are incompatible
with an irritable brain, a weak stom-
ach or a defective circulation. If any
one Ofyou prize winners were a son
Of mine Gas might have been the case

and a good fairy were to offer to equip
him according to my wishes for the
battle of practical life, l should say,

more cleverness put in as much in
dustry as you can instead and oh, if
you please, a broad, deep chest and a
stomach of whose existence he shall
never know anything" L should be
well content with the prospects of a
fellow so endowed.

DISCRIMINATING the Buffalo.


Colorado Correspondence Boston Herald.
While people in the East paid thirty
cents a pound for bull beefof uncertain
age and derivation a few years ago,
these vast legions of slaughtered ami
mails lost their juiciness and flavor by
rotting under the action of the scorch-
ing sun-hundreds of thousands of
them scattered over scores of miles on
the parched prairies, victims of "vaca-
tions," 'Fdesires for relaxation" and
the like. Two or three years ago, the
Kansas Pacific train, while making its
way over the prairies from Kansas
City to Denver, was frequently COM
PEELED to make stops of several hours
duration, in order to allow the enor-
nous herds of buffalo to cross its track.
Sometimes 5000 passed in one herd.
Now the passengers not once in six
months behold buffalo from the train
during a prairie journey of between
600 TO 700 miles. They are greeted,
however, every few miles with the
sight Of great piles ofbleached bones
buffalo bones, gathered by bone hun
tiers, who make very good living out
of their collections. These fellows
have pretty well cleared up the plains
although one still sees the occasional
SHELTON bleaching alone in its entirety.
l cannot give much of an idea of the
immense slaughter of larger game. A
good deal has been said about it al
ready, and [ have too much to talk
about to take up secondhand matter.
But one instance [ must give as char
acteristic of the great destruction. On
Kansas prairies there was, a few years
ago, a man who shot buffalo enough to
keep nine men steadily employed in
skinning them, Imagine what
slaughtering this single hunter accom-
plished and all he wanted were the
buffalo skins, which commanded fine
price, and used to afford a profitable
business. The bufalos are at present
banished from the great plains. A
few are occasionally found in South
ern New Mexico, but most of them
have gone north to the British posses
siOns.

bare backed horse as in q rocking
chair, while TO others it never becomes
easy. They do the work, but it is
hard. The actual movements of the
drill with sabre and pistol are few.
The soldier is started from the com
pany to make the circuit Of the hall.
Putting hishOrse at a gallop, he begins
by firing at a head on a post, returns
his pistol to the holster, draws his
sabre, and, at full speed, makes a
thrust at another head on a post, then
a cut at one lying on the ground, then
jumps a hurdle, and, in jumping,
slashes a head from a post beside it, or
thrusts at a suspended ring on Il level
with his own head and, lastly, makes
a right thrust at a head on another
post. To 60 through this performance
on a horse without a saddle, and a big
pair of spurs on ones heels, is not an
easy task, and if any one thinks it is,
he had better try it in the nearest
riding school. The different cuts and
thrusts are, of course, as against iu.
fantry or cavalry.

ston, colored, to whom Cox gave a por-
ton Of the jewelry he stole from Mrs.
Hull, on the night he suiIocated the
lady, has been arrested and the miss
ing jewelry recovered. The girl was
asleep when arrested, and around her
neck was the topaz necklace.
The reporter of the Evening Post
to-day found the landlady of the
house where Christine Cox, the muir
derer of Mrs. Hull, formerly lived.
She is a Mrs. Robinson, and said when
told that Cox was arrested for the
murder never would have believ-
ed it of him. He was the most quiet,
gentlemanly person 1 ever had any
dealings with. Well, Tn sorry for
him and his mother
Mrs. Robinson said that Cox had
many friends, many of whom were
connected at the Abryssian Baptist
church, Waverly Place, Of which he
was a member. She said he paid his
board bills promptly for two or three
months, when he lost his position. He
lever appeared to have any great
amount of money, but this did not
appear to cause him any great uneasi-
ness, as he was Of a very jovial dispo-
%sitiOn, and was continually joking and
playing tricks upon his fellow-lodgers.
A short time after he secured a situa-
ton as cook in the house of a doctor
in West Twenty-second or West
Twenty-third street, He retained
this position for three weeks, and
then left, giving as his reason
that he did not like the character
Of the people in' the house. He
paid up the balance of the board due,
and from that time on he had no work
except odd jobs at laying carpets.
Mrs. Robson said Cox was vel J steady
in his habits, although he frequently
staid out all night. When he was
away thus one night he explained his
absence next morning by saying he
lodged with a friend down town. She
had never heard him speak of any
woman, but he had said he was a
widOwer, his wife having died while
he was in the South. Cox said to
Mrs. Robinson, Wednesday of the
18th instant, that ne wa tired of loaf
lug about the city and was going to
Saratoga to look for work. Later in
the day he said he was going to Yonk-
er's, where he he been offered a situa-
ton as cook. lie left the house about
three o'clock that evening. lie was
very jOvial, and bade her good-b bye in
a hearty manner. He was not in the
house previous to that night. She
saw nothing Of him until Monday Of.
asst week when he returned with a
stranger, whom he introduced as MIR.
Bacon, or MIR, Beekman. This man,
he said, was employed on one Of the
Sound boats, and his home was in
Newport. He remained abont the
house, going about the streets
with his friends, and did a job Of.
carpet-lay ing last Wednesday. He
settled all arrears of board and APP
pearcd to have more money than
usual, though he made no lavish dis
play of it. Friday morning he told
her he was going to Newport toNisit
his friend. She told him she was
going to leave the rooms on the LIST of
July, aud jokingly said if he was not
here she would put his trunks on the
street. He was engaged all day pack.
ing trunks and goods, which he sent
away about l O'Clock, going himself
about two hours later.
