Fresh Air.

Too many houses arc closed up at the
back in America, there are no through
draughts; front and back open and a
current set going, That's fresh air. Ain
stagnates, and curtains drawn, blinds
down, carpets on floors, doors closed,
and one bit of Il windp just opened =
goodness, where's the life to come from
to breathe in SO many cubic inches even
Of oxygen!
Now, then, in the morning let your
E.aid open your street door for an hour,
lnd set something airing, some current
into those stagnant air layers, that, stuff
each other up and can neither move up
nor down, nor in, nor out.
Ladies' are faint, children droop, ba.
pies die, men swear, and all for want OF
A little current of fresh air just passing
through the house.
Look to it and open your house-dooI
the first thing in the morning, and if you
can, set current going through it,
Fool anil HeliM.

Luci1a Lucky, at Albany, in Athens
co, n y, on tie night of November 8,
wa taken from the Jail by about fifty
men and hung. The negro made a
full confession OF his crime and also
begged for his life. His appeals for
mercy were no more pitiful than the
aged and helpless woman whom he had
brutalIy outraged and quieted her ap-

into u Jelly with au ax and leaving
her for dead.
There was ma doubt Of his guilt
aud the lynchers have rid the country

world that Athens county will protect
her people against such brutal fiends as
Chris Davis. The lynchers did their

and that this very issue Of paper
money belonged to the Venetian re-
public in its palmiest days? In the
decadance of that once mighty power,
banking, as in America, fell into the
hands of individuals, and Venice in
her fall suffered by the treachery OF
