Something New Ia Entomology.

Last Sunday, as Mr.. Jones was re-
turning from church with his family, he
discovered a new and singular looking
bug on bis front door step. AS he is
something Of scientist, he was natur-
ally pleased with the new specimen, and,
forming his pocket handkerchief into o
sort of cage, he pounced down on it, and
succeeded in capturing it.

called, "and toll your ma to hurry; /

What Is Il Cold Bath !

The season of the year, says the Ian.
Get, when very many people who have
experienced pleasure and advantage from
daily cold bath have 10 discontinue it
has come. Months will olapsc before the
return of genial weather will allow of
their indulgence in what may be termed
mans natural stimulant. Among the
young and robust there are large num-
ber who are able to bathe even in the
depths of winter. The advantage of so
doing is, however, unquestionable. But
let it be once well understood what a cold
bath really is, and the course by which
which we can avoid Scylia and Charyb-
dis will be obvious. A cold bath is
not necessarily bath in water Of
tue temperature Of the atmosphere. A
bath is truly and really cold hen it pro-
duces certain physiological effects-a
slight momentary shock, followed by
pleasant and lasting reaction. These ef.
fects are, for the majority of people,
most pleasantly obtained by bathing in
water about thirty-tiye degrees to forty
degrees below the tempe ratnro of the
Dody-the usual temperature Of unheated
water in June and July. Bearing this
in mind, we can enjoy our physiologi-
cal cold" bath as safely and pleasantly
at Christmas as at midsummer, and
there is no necessity for the most timid
or weakly to discontinue his morning
tuO because the summer weather is
over. When the water sinks below a
temperature of sixty degrees, let i be
heated to that point and then used
and we shall still have our "cold" bath,
though of heated water. The daily stimu-
liant effect Of such IL bath is so beneficial
to the great majority of persons, and is
OF such marked service in maintaining
health, that it is very important to have
1t widely known that n cold bath may be
taken all the year round provided cold
Is not mistaken to mean ''at the tempera-
ture of the outer air." TO heat our bath
during the winter months is often sup
posed to be unmanly, while in reality it
is truly scientific; and to batho in un
heated water all the year round, what
ever the temperature of that water may
be, is to prove ones self an ignorant
slave OF outward circumstances.

SOLICITORS for the Presidents Safety.

CITIZEN WHO WAS AFRAID OF DYNAMITE.
few hours before the train with the Presi-
dent left here Tuesday morning respectable
looking gentleman entered the Baltimore and
Potomac r. r. depot and inquired excitedly for
the officer in charge. Being directed to white
capped official he remarked. Il am so much ex-
ercised as to the President safety that, although
have been to bed and am tired. can't sleep.
Please tell If there is any danger" The official
assured him that there was no danger; that the
road was properly guarded all the way, and an
accident could not occur. The gentleman asked.
rs there not some danger that some miscreant
will put torpedo on the track and blow the
train up, somewhat like they have done in Rus
sia.' The official replied 'Oh, no; that would be
impossible, and even if torpedo is placed on
the track it will not endanger the President, for
we will send pilot engine just ahead of his
train. which will explode whatever is put on the
track" "Oh, well,'' responded the man, ''if
that is the arrangement feel that he will be
safe and can now go to Sleep" He walked
cheerfuly OFF. not expressing any concern for
those who would go out on the pilot engine.

The Removal of Mr.. A. S. Lynch.
STATEMENT BY THE OFFICERS OF THE EXCEL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 9, 1881.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
On the I'd instant the following item appeared

ton against Lynch that he escorted lady down the
threw herself under the protection of the captain of
boat and her home reported the facts to her
the same to the Postmaster General and he requested
Lynch to vacate Lynch, however, denies all and sim
gular these allegations
desire for myself at this time simply to deny
the truth of the charges referred to, and in this
connection to publish the following communica-
ton just received from the captain and other
officers of the steamer Excelsior
WASHINGTON. DC, September 5, 1881.
Mr.. A. S. Llnch:-We, the undersigned, officers
OF the steamer Excelsior, desire as matter of
justice to yourself to state that the charges pre-
ferred against you, as having occurred on board
this vessel on its trip Of 31st utimo, we believe
to be without foundation or cause and to have
been made maliciOusly and with evil intent.
SIGNED:-JoHN A. BEACHAN Captain; JAMES
ODONNELL, Chief Engineer; JAMES III.
CATHELL, Chief Mate: JOHN S. MORRIS,
Steward; JAMES r. WEBSTER, Assistant
Engineer; GEORGE V. MONCAN, Purser.
The action Of the Postmaster General in re-
questing my resignation without hearing has
done me much injustice. I feel that when he
comes to review his action and to look at the
proofs OF the falsity of this charge, which now
have in my possession, he will alter his opinion
But, as he is now absent, and will probably not
return soon, / ask that this statement be made
public, in justice to myself. l want my friends
to know that the charge is false. and that l shall
be able to prove it SO. Very respectfully.

that the dry weather prevailing SO long has rem

CELEBRATING HIS FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Yesterday was the birthday of the assassin
Guiteau. He was yesterday 40 years old. He
called the attention Of the warden and guards to
the iact; ana suggested that persons sometimes
received presents on such occasions. No affirm
alive response was given him. TWAS, however
suggested by some that the best present should
be "a spider in his dumping"
THE PRISONER IN GOOD HEALTH AND SPIRITS.
Yesterday found the prisoner in remarkably
eoou neaith, slightly heavier than when he was
commltted on July I'd last and in better spirits
than few days ago. He has by some means
learned that the President has been taken to
Long Branch.
GUITEAU PHILOSOPHY.
When he hears or sees anything indicating
that the President Is getting better, he states
that he is praying for his recovery, but when the
reverse is heard he intimates that the inspira-
ton that he had to kill the President was right,
and If he 0he President) dies it will be because
1t was so decreed by Providence. Recently he
has spent much time in studying his case, and
evidently from his questions
HE WILL TRY THE INSANITY PLEA,
1Or he is asking what will be the effect of the YER
dict in his case should he be declared not equity
by reason OF insanity" whether on such verdict
he would be sent to the Insane Asylum for an
indefinite period, only until the officers should
pronounce him sane. or whether the verdict could
not be as above, with the addition of the words
lat the time OF the commission of the crime;
and in the event of such verdict whether he
would not be entitled to his freedom.
THE ASSASSIN AS A PEDESTRIAN.
Every day the lower part of the corridor
on which his cell fronts is given him to exercise
in, and yesterday morning, for half an hour,
he gave the guards evidence that he was in
good condition for walking. Wearing wooden
shirt and black pants, the latter rolled
above his knees displaying legs with
the muscles SO large as to look
somewhat unnatural he rapidly strobe up and
down the floor Although rather short in the
legs he stepped Off % or 80 inches at stride,
and excited the wonder of some of those who
had never seen him exercise. 1t was remarked
that his gait was as easy as that of profess
