An attempt was made to blow up
the house of the Rev. w. Whitby, Of
Leicester, Eng, one Sunday morning
. short time ago., Soon after midnight
the windows and doors were blown out,
but no person was injured. Five men
were seen near the house a short time
before the explosion occurred, but no
one seems able to assign any cause for
the outrage.

CARE OF THE HEALTH.

SPRAINs.-If the sprain is nothing
more than sprain-that is, if no bones
are broken or put out-wrap the part in
several folds of flannel which has been
wrung out of hot water, and cover it
with dry bandage, and rest it for some
days or even weeks. Entire rest at first,
and moderate rest afterwards, are abso-
lutely necessary after sprain. If it is
in the ankle, the foot should be raised
as high as may be comfortable; if in
the wrist, it should be carried in a
sling.
OFFENSIVE BREATH. = From six to
ten drops of the concentrated solution
of chloride of soda, in wine glass full
of pure spring water, taken Immediately
after the ablutions of the morning are
completed, will sweeten, the breath, by
disinfecting the stomach, which far from
being injured will be benefited by the
medicine. If necessary, this may be re-
peated in the middle of the day. In some
cases the odor arising from carious teeth
is combined with that of the stomach.
If the mouth is well rinsed with tea
spoonful of the solution of the chloride
in a tumbler of water, the bad odor of
the teeth will be removed.
EFFECT OF QUININE ON THE HEAR
ING.-It is well known fact to medi-
cal men that there exists a great preju-
dice among large number of people
against taking quinine, the idea being
very prevalent that prolonged use OF
it not only affects the hearing, but Ito
use the common expression) that ii
"gets into the bones" As regards the
former belief, DIR. Roosa, of New York,
has recently been collecting and exam
ining the evidence as far as possible,
and has come to the conclusion that in
some cases there really is permanent
nervous affection of the ear produced
which justifes the opinion held by the
laity. Hitherto physicians have gener.
ally disbelieved this, and ascribed the
notion to prejudice.
CARE OF THE EYEs.-The care of the
eyes is urged by Arthur Chevalier in 6
new French work. The use of the eyes
he says, should be regulated by theil
strength, and they should never be over.

during work is recommended. Thus In

Particulars Of the Fight on the An,mus

Particulars Of the Fight on the Animas
 We have been furnished with the
 following particulars of the recent h.
 dian fight by an eyewitness of and
 participant in the entire affair:
 On the 17th Capt. Byron Dawson,
 with forty-six men of the Ninth Cav
 airy, came upon Victoria and his band
 of nearly l5O Indians, strongly posted
 in the mountains near the headwaters Of the Las Animas, and thirty miles above Hillsborough. So cautious had the Indians been and so well covered that the command was hardly aware
 of their immediate presence before
 Capt. Dawson found that he could not eXtricate himself without heavy loss and perhaps utter destruction. The fight commenced at once, the troops seeking the best cover possible, but the sayages having vastly the advan- tage in that respect.
 About ten o'clock in the morning Capt. Beyer's command of fifty-two men, number of whom were citizens, reached the scene of the conflict. Owing to the constant and galling fire of the savages and the utter impOsSi- bility of dislOdging them from their commanding position Capt. Beyer could do no more than afford Capt. Dawson all possible aid in the hope of finally eXtricating him and his men from their perilous position. The light continued until just at dark, when Capt. Beyer commenced to pour in heavy volleys upon the savages for the purpose of holding them closely
 behind the rocks. Under cover of this fire Capt. Dawson fell back, and his company was nearly all saved. The killed were Jack Hagan (citiZen) from Georgetown; Private Hanes, Co. .G, Ninth Cavalry, and two Navajo scouts. Wounded, two privates of Co.,. E, Ninth Cavalry, and two Navajo scouts. Fifty-three Government ani
 mals were left upon the field. The Indians captured the hospital train and the personal baggage of all the officers except two. Some of the sol niers behaved well, and the officers without exception are entitled toI credit for bravery and good conduct Among the citizens a young man named Bates, of the Placeres, specially distinguished himself Lieut.. Day. carried a wounded soldier across al space of six hundred feet wide, atI every point of which he was exposed to the heavy fire of the savages. Dr. KennOn, who accompanied the COm-i mand as medical officer, had a narrow escape, his field glasses being carried away by a rifle ball while in the act of using them.
 From the latest information we canI now gather, Major Morrow, who has taken the field with all the avdiiablel troops and scouts, is now at McEver's ranch, near Hillsborough. His force is said to be about two hundred strong, and he only awaits certain movements of Apache scouts from Arizona tOI move forward against Victories posi- | tian, which is said to be fully as strong as was that of the Modocs in the lava beds of the Northwest Silver City Herald
