Irish girls, who came, as is their Gus

over their heads. Many of them in-

so, at no small inconvenience to himself
and his assistants, when it transpired
that their common object was simply to

trimmed with bright colored ribbons.
No sooner did they appear in the ro-
tunda, adorned with their hats, than
each girl in the place rushed for the
luggage-room and demanded TO be al

Eyes and Ears.

Senator Ben Hill made one of his
Southern hifaluten speeches ON the
Kellogg-Sponord case-one of the sort
which delights the Southern bucolic
auditory, wherein the orator rips with
Euripedes, and scars and spreads the
Southern eagle till tho joints of that
unfortunate fowl fairly crack. "Have
the people ears. and hear not the
groans of dying libertyg" he yelled.
Have they eyes, and see not despotism
stalking with brazen front toward the
highest place in the NationP" This is
eloquent eloquence; this is oratorical
oratory; in short this was a speaking
speech. When we calmly reflect upon
these conundrums we are forced 10
confess that great many of the peo-
pie have ears rs-conspicuously as it were
-of which the presence OF Ben Hill
and his sort in the Senate and House
is an auricular testimony, so to speak.
Those are the sort of ears, also, which
"hear the dying groans of liberty,
and many other distressing noises,
which people less gifted in the matter
of ears wholly fail to hear. The same
sort of people have eyes also--eyes that
bulge out fearfully-eyes like those OF
scared jackass rabbit--eyes that we
doubt not "see despotism stalking
with brazen front toward the high
est place in the Nation" not
to speak of many other remarka,
BILE and uncomfortable visions and
wonders, which ordinary folk are wholly
unable to discern. But Mr.. Hill has
been politely informed by Wade Hamp

The Climate of South America.

South America, it might be said, has
no climate at all. Here, in this south
ern continent, the same wind from the
South Pole blows throughout the year,
fresh and keen, all along the coast; so
fresh and keen that on the sea or close
to it the vertical sun of the tropics loses
all its power even at noon, and the long
equatorial night has chill which renders
il unsafe as well as uncomfortable to
sleep in the open air, and unwise and al
most impossible TO dispense with heavy
blankets. On the western coast of South
America the vapors that would be watt
ed up to it from the Pacific are met by
the perennial breezes which, as l said,
come up from the Pole, and they are
driven upward till they reach the sum-
nit of the mountain wall of the Andes,
! lofty region, they fall in cOpious rain,
drenching and fertilizing the eastern
watershed, passing over the western
slope and leaving it untouched, arid,
barren and desolate. For the six winter
months in the year, what in the West
Indies is the rainy season is here the
season of clouds and fogs. We have the
constant threat of rain, with hardly ever
a drop of it, and the sun, that breaks
out in pale glimpses towards noon, is
seen but not felt. This is especially the
case with Peru, the coast of which, pro
jecting westward in all its length from
africa to Payta, is more Immediately ex-
posed to the polar wind and more un-
mercifully searched and blighted by its
blast. That its climate, as tropical
one, may be all the better for it, is very
possible; and, indeed, there is no fault
to be found with it on the score of hui
man health; but it is dull and gloomy
and doomed to perpetual drought.
There is no moisture or dew in the land,
and consequently no vegetation, or only
that which is fostered by the scanty rills
creeping through the sand and stone of
their narrow glens, and only breaking
dcwn, tOrrent-fashion, when the thaw
of the perpetual SHOWS of the Cordillera
sets in in good earnest in the summer
months.-SOuth american Cor. London

on the 21th ult.. which was signed by all the
Court. The opinion of the Court is as follows:
I" From tho strong array OF circumetantial evil
dence from the testimony OF experts in hand
writing, and from the conflicting statements
OF Cadet Whitaker and the lack Of veracity
evinncd by him IN certain cases during the In
vestigation, as shown by the evidence, the
Court is of opinion that tho imputation on the
character of Cadet Whitaker referred to In
the order convenlng and contained in the ofll-
eial reports of The Commandant Of Cadets
aud Post Surgeon, is fully sustained" Whit
taker was arrested and placed in confinement
in his room. II the findings Of the Court are
approved by the War Department, he will be
tried by court-martial, but II the President
approves he will be dismissed from the Acad-
emy or handed over to the civil authorities.

Wade Hampton; and Thurman, and
Bayard, and several other Democratic

that enough Democrats will vote with
the Republicans on this question to de-

Checking PerspiratiOn.

A Boston merchant, in 'slending a
hand" on board of one of his ships on
windy day, found himself at the end of
an hour and half pretty well exhausted
and perspiring freely. He sat down TO
rest. The cool wind from the sea was
delightful, and, engaging in conversa-
tion, time passed faster than he was
aware of. In attempting to rise, he
found he was unable to do so without
assistance. He was taken home and put
to bed, where he remained two years; !;
and for long time afterwards could
only hobble about with the aid of a
crutch. Less exposures than this have,
in constitutions not so vigorous, resulted
in Inflammation of the lungs, ''pneumo-
nia," ending in death in less than a
week, or causing tedious rheumatisms,

Multitudes of lives would be saved every
year, and an incalculable amount of hu-
man suffering would be prevented, if
parents would begin to explain to their
children, at the age of three or four
years, the danger which attends cooling
off too quickly after exercise, or work,
or play, or of remaining exposed to a
wind, or of sitting at open window or
door, or of pulling off any garment, ,even
the hat or bonnet, while in heat. 1t
should be remembered by all, that a
cold never comes without a cause, and
that in four times out of five, it is the re-
suit of leaving off exercise too suddenly
or of remaining still in the wind, or in a
cooler atmosphere than that in which
the exercise has been taken. The colder

coming into the house, to keep on all

looked at the car, which was seemingly

unsullied by paint brush. The

wire and twine; and once off, no
