The Hottest SnOf on Earth.

One Of the hottest regions on the
earth is along the Persian gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Bahrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet a
comparatively numerous population
contriye to live there, thanks to the
copious springs which break forth from
the bottom of the sea. The fresh water
is got by diving. The diver, sitting in
his boat, winds a great goatskin bag
around his arm, the hand grasping its
mouth; then takes in his right hand a
heavy stone, to which is attached a
strong line, and, thus equipped, he
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong Jet of fresh water, he springs
up the ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag, and Is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled up,
and the diver, after taking breath,
plunges again. The source of the CO.
pious submarine springs Is thought to
be in the green hills of Osman, some
500 or 600 miles distant.

Health Of Horses.

The health and comfort of horses have
of late years been greatly improved by
the better construction of stables. They
are made more roomy and lofty, and
provided with means of thorough ven
tilatiOn. In many new stables lofts are
done away with, or the floor of the lofts
is kept well above the horses heads, and
ample shafts are introduced to convey
away foul air. By perforated bricks
and gratings under the managers and
elsewhere round the walls, and also by
bay windows and ventilators, abundance
of pure air is secured for the horses;
while, being introduced in moderate
amount and from various directions, it
comes in without draught. Too much
draught is almost an unknown stable
luxury. To secure O constant supply of
pure air, horses require more cubic
space than they generally enjoy. Even
when animals are stabbed only at night,
a minimum of 1000 cubic feet should
be allowed. In England, the newer
cavalry barracks give q minimum of
1900 feet, with q ground area of fully
ninety square feet per horse, and the
best hunting and carriage horses have
more room.-,TO1ty7III of Chemistry.

A YOUNG man who had just returned

IN'the State of Kentucky rebel claims are
an actual and vital issue, the Legislature of
that State having at its last session passed
an act, approved March 5, 1880, instructing
the Senators and Representatives of the
State in the Congress of the United Staets
to urge upon the United States Government
''the speedy settlement and payment of
the claims of citizens of Cynthia whose
property was destroyed by John Morgan,
June IL, 1864, certain United States soldiers
having used the houses for defensive pur-
poses. The same act requests the Secretary
of War to send Commissioner to investi-
gate the claims and gives the names of the
claimants.

THE ''New School History of the United
States" for use in Southern schools was
made before the Democratic party began to
claim that they were not opposed to the war
and that it was chiefly through their efforts
that the rebellion was put down. Concern

ry says: "a respectable portion of the
Democratic party at the North were opposed
to the war, and never ceased to cry out
against it. To suppress this opposition
harsh measures were resorted to by the
Federal authorities, and many of the anti
war leaders were imprisoned. This opposi-
tion eliminated, however, when an attempt
was made to fill up the ranks by means of a
general draft. In many places the Federal
officers were openly resisted. In New York
city terrible outbreaks occurred. :.
The rioters, however, accomplished their
purposes, for the draft in New York city at
least was abandoned

THE danger of change in the tariff which
would result from change in the admins
tration is appreciated by manufacturers and
is making them extremely cautious as the
following from the Somerset Reporter
shows:
Messrs. Shepherd and Anderson have given
up the idea of putting machinery in the new
wooden mill this year. Had the state election
gone as we expected they would have pushed
their work along vigorously and by January
would have been ready to give employment to
from rs to 100 workmen, but under the pres
ent uncertainty the building will merely be
enclosed But for the brick work being under
contract the work would have been suspended
entirely until the uncertainty is over. Should
the government pass into the hands of the De-
mocracy and extensive changes in the tariff
rates be made, it win be a hard blow to the in
dustries of the state we'll as to all the North
ern states and harder blow to the laboring
people of the country. Prostrste the business
of the country and the laborer feels it the

The Port of Dulcigno.

This little Albanian seaport, which has sud-
denly become the engrossing object of Euro
pean diplomacy, resembles its northern neigh
bor. Ragusa, in possessing two harbors. The
one nearest the town is, however, small and
shallow, and could not accommodate vessels
larger than 200 tons. The other harbor-Val
di Noce-is for Dulcigno what Gravosa is for
Ragusa, and can shelter the largest vessels.
But the entrance is troublesome on account OF
the narrow channel, and so for some time past
the steamers of the Austrian Lloyd have been
accustomed to stop at San Giovanni di Medua,
a proceeding which has had damaging effect
IN the prosperity of Dulcisno as the port oil
Scutari. In 1880 Dulcigno possessed 100 sea-
going craft; at present it has not more than

II is not unnatural that General Sickles
should return to the Democratic party. In
December, 1860, he made speech in Con-

Federal system the recognized right of seces-

highest constitutional and moral guarantee
against injustice, and therefore if it had been
always and universally acknowledged as a
rightful remedy, it would have contributed
more than all else to perpetuate the Union
by compelling the observance of all their
obligations ON the part of all the States"

THE Washington organ of the Democra-

AT Democratic meeting in Winnsbor-

Charleston News, a brigade of little boys in
red shirts on foot and mounted on veloci-

ladies slowed themselves away upon con-

to witness the grand street pageant, and ev-
