CATCHING CoLD.-This pertinent question
is just now engaging attention. There is an.
other question which should be answered first,
namely, What is cold? The old idea Of a
"chill" is, perhaps, nearer the truth than the
modern notion Of "cold." The hypothesis
would seem to be that "cold" is something
more than cold, because, it is said, "You do
not catch cold unless you are cold" The fact
is there are probably as many diverse occur
rences grouped and.confounded under the &c.
neric title Of cold catching as diseases covered
by that popular term fever, which is made to
comprise every state in which the pulse is
quickened and the temperature raised. BY a
parallel process of reasoning, "cold" ought to
be limited to cases in which the phenomena
are those. of a "chill." When person
"catches cold," either of several morbid acci.
dents may occur: Cd He may have such a
chill of the surface as shall drive the blood in
on the internal organs and hamper some weak,
or disorder and influence some diseased viscus;
(2) the cold may so impinge on the superficial
nerves that serious disturbance Of the system
will ensue and morbid state be set up; 90
the current of air which causes the cold may
in fact be laden with the propagating "germs"
of disease or (4) the vitality Of the organism
as whole, or ofsome one or more of its parts,
may be so depressed by sudden abstraction
of heat that recovery may be impossible, or q
severe and mischievous reaction ensue. The
philosophy of prevention is obviously to pre-
serve the natural and healthy action of the
organism as whole, and of the surface in
particular, while habituating the skin to bear
severe alterations of temperature by judi
cious exposure, and natural stimulation by
pure air and clean water and orderly habits
of hygiene and health.-Lancet.

SoFr BEDS FOR 'CH1LDREN.-There are
differences in opinion in regard to the best
beds for refreshing. sleep, some advocating
soft and some hard beds. The difference be-
tween them is that the weight of a body on q
soft bed presses on larger surface than upon
hard bed, and consequently more comfort
is enjoyed. Hard beds should never be given
to children, and parents who suppose that
such beds contribute to health by hardening
and developing the constitution, are surely
in error. Eminent physicians-both here
and in England concur in this opinion, and
say hard beds have often proved injurious to
the shape of infants. Birds and animals cover
their offspring with the softest materials they
can obtain, and also make soft beds for them /;
and the softness Of a. bed is not an evidence
of its being unwholesome. But ifit is not
kept sweet and clean by daily airings and fire.
quent beatings, whether it is hard or soft,
it is surely injurious to health

TRUE PoL1TENEss. As to politeness, many
have attempted its definition. l believe it is
best to be known by description definition
not being able to comprise it. I would. now
ever, venture to call it benevolence in trifes,
or the preference of others to ourselves, in
little daily, hourly occurrences in the COM
merce. of life. A better place, more COM
modious seat, priority in being helped at the
table-what is it but sacrificing ourselves in
such trifes to the convenience and pleasure
of others? And this constitutes true polite
ness. It is a perpetual attention (by habit it
grows easy and natural to us) to the little
wants of those we are with, by which we
either prevent or remove them. Bowing,
ceremonies, formal compliments, stiff civili-
ties, will never be politeness; that must be
natural, easy, unstudied, manly, noble. And
what will give this but mind benevolent
and perpetually attentive to exert that anna.
BILE disposition In triaes toward all you con-
verse, and live with. Beneyolence in great
matters takes q higher name, and is the queen
of virtue-Earl Chatham.

SAYINGS OF THE LATE WIN. M. HUNT.
There's call for every thing that's fine; but
there isn't q market for so much competition.
The individual is nothing. The men who
built the pyramids are dead, but the pyramids
stand.
Iown all the greatness in Europe. re.

but I'm willing those old kings should take
care of them. If you see flower, pick it
and smell of it, that flower is yours.
Inconsistencies is superior dignity. As.
sumption Of superiority is the one thing that
arouses my indignation. Ihave feeling Of
respect for certain kind of humility. Ibe-
lieve, with Rosseau, that every one we meet
is superior to. us in some respect. Ican't see
the first brutal thing IN what is called the
brute creation. Every human being has the
elements of the animal creation.
The people who live by accumulated
wealth, with which they do nothing, are q
set of bugs. The community carries them.
Every time they die there's a song Of angels.
If people respected themselves there would
be no such Glass; for they are made such by
being bowed down to. It's the giving mus.
cles that we ought to use, not the grasping.
Paralysis means having all the muscles turn

Tried ONCE LOO OFTEN.-DuFiuS tue
haying season, an honest old farmer on the
Gratiot road employed three young men from
the city to help him cut and store his timothy.
None of them liked work half so we'll as
whisky, and a conspiracy was the result.
About noon one day, oneof the trio fell down
in the field, shouting and kicking, and the
other two ran to the farmer with wild eyes
and called out that their companion had been
bitten by rattlesnake and must have some
whisky. The farmer rushed to the house and
brought out a quart, and the three hatvesters
got big drink all around on the sly, while
the bitten one had lay-of Of half day.
The next forenoon second was bitten, and
again the farmer rushed for his bottle. 1t
was nice little job for the boys, and on the
third the third one put in his claim for q bite
and yelled for the whisky bottle. The old
farmer took the matter very coolly this time,
and after making particular inquiries about
the size of the snake, the location Of the bite,
the sensation, and SO forth, he slowly con-
tinued:
"Day before yesterday James was bitten
and drank quart of good whisky. Yester-
day John was bitten and drank quart more.
Today you've got a bite, and the best thing
you cando is to smell their breaths and lay
in the shade while the rest of us eat dinner T.
The man got well in ten minutes, and not
another rattlesnake was seen during the entire
season.

ject. One of the plans is that proposed by
Senator David Davis, of Illinois, himself a
long time Judge of the Court. His plan pro.
poses an intermediate court, to be known as
the Court of Appeals, and this plan undoubt.
edly is favored by the Judges Of Court who
were long time Mr.. Davis associates. The
Justices believe that by the creation Of this
intermediate court a large class of cases which
are now appealed to the Supreme Court would
receive their final settlement in the interme.
diate appellate court, and that thus more
prompt decisions would be secured, while the
Supreme Court itself could be reserved for the
more important cases. The justices Of the
Supreme Court are among the hardestWorked
persons in the government service, taking
their regular Washington duties and circuit
duties together. They do not have even the
ordinary thirty days leave which is taken by
government clerk.

and with him as candidate we can raise
funds more easily than with any one else.
Moreover, either Blaine or Conkling
would have TO encountet the hostility or
lukewarm support of his rival, and we
cannot afford to r,se anything. Another
consideration which has some weight is
that IN case OF contested election we
should be certain that Grant would not
suffer himself to be cheated. five elect
him he will go into the White House.
Whether we can elect him is, in my
Judgment, by no means certain. It de-
pe'ids not at all on.the Republicans but
on the Democrats, if they make, fools Of

Will, we shall have the country with us

men in our party will vote for him rather
than incur the risk of any wild Commu-
nistic regime which would make property
insecure and capital valueless, because Il
would cripple enterprise. IF the Demo.
crnts insist GA keeping the currency

Thurman or Hendricks, you will see that
the property Of the country will rally
solidly for Grant, and you know even

Grant as means of security, because
property means civilization. The Dem
ocrats have but few men who could carry
the country against Grant. l can think
of. only three, Bayard, General Hancock
and Randolph. OF New jersey. With
either of these they can win, in my judy
ment, and don't know of any one elss
they have. These three have all clean
records on currency and all other aues-
tions. They arc thoroughly respectable
and would, have the confidence Of the

To the Editor ofthc Me,o YORK Herald :.
1t appears, from the viruent attacks
made in mcfning contemporary, tn at
the proposal of Cyrus w. Field, to
erect monument to Major Andre, the
British spy,. is not favorably received
by the so.called American people. 1t is
arrange that people such as the Amer
leans, who are the riifraff and desccn.
dants of the scum of Europe, should oh.
ject TO have monument raised to the
memory of good Englishman who
used all his efforts to help the suprem-
acy of British power in this country.
And had the English been then sue.
cessiul, had shey subjugated the col
onists, there would not be to-day such
villany and corruption in this upstart,
mushroom country. That trite old
saying, "Put beggar on horseback" ;"

"A SOUTHERN WILDERH ESs.-A Nash.
vile correspondent givesian interesting
description of the country, in Fentrcss
county, Tennessee, and WAYNE county.
Kentucky, TO which the revenue forces
have been dispatched to unea-th illicit
distilers. The wilds of these counties
have never been invaded. The county
is mountainous and rugged. The hills
abound in iron and coal in enormous
quantities, and are covered outwardly
with forests aud strange plants. The
WY to the stills is over tortuous roads.
through winding paths that are seem.
ingly nothing except hog-runs through
the wilderness. Over these roads, and
down deep declivities almost impnssable,
it is customary with the distillers to
drive little shaggy mules, with which
they are all provided, laden with corn or
meal necessary for the manufacture of
wildcat whisky" The stills are of the
rudest construction. The number of
men employed Mt each still is from two
to six. even eight or ten. 1t was Fen
tress county which Mark Twain said
resemhled Nazareth, insomuch that n,
thing good came out of it. The villages
are located on almost impossible coun.
try roads, far distant from railroads, and
average from fifty to two hundred
inhabitants. In the most active of them
the weekly mail is an event of great
note. The raiders will remain in Fen
tress, Wayne and adjoining counties for
a month or more as may be required.
They will have to encounter unleard of
hardships.
