A Noted Dueiist,
From the New York Times

Baron de Sen Malnta is famous
SiciIian duelist, and he has gone to Paris
to find foeman worthy of his steel.
He is credited with having fought, in
his time, some forty duels, in none of
which is he said to have been the chal-
lenger. One of his combatants was a
first cousin, whose mother the baron had
promised the inexperienced man should
suffer no harm. When they began to
fight the cousin attacked him with
ferocity, but the baron only parted off
his desperate blows. At last the cousin
became 80 weak from exhaustion he
could no longer hold his sword, and
seconds interfered to end the contest.
Another duel fought by the baron was
with the best broad-swordsman in
Sicily, whom the baron, unused as he was
to fighting with broad-swords, rushed
upon savagely, striking as if the sword
were a club. The men were thrice put
into position, after the broad-swords-
man had twice retreated, and this last
time the baron's weapon broke within
eight inches of the hilt. Still his adver-
sary kept on, and none of the seconds
interfered. Furious with rage, the bar
on then rushed upon the cowardly fellow,
wounded him with the broken sword,
and drew blood upon each of the seconds,
beginning with his own.

Condition of the President

President Garfield Is recovering slowly from
his recent and almost fatal relapse. and the
subject of removing him from the White House
is being again agltated. The PATIENTS still very
weak, the parotid gland continuing to suppur-
ate and has not commenced to heal; neither has
the bullet wound improved much. The most
hopeful symptoms are the patients growing
appetite, the healthy condition of his stomach,
and the readiness with which the food he par
takes of is assimiated. On the I'd inst. he took
some soup. and chewed a piece of stewed
squirrel, and asked for more, but it was not
deemed well to acceGe to his request. Score
tary Blaines dispatches to Minister Lowell are
of more hopeful character and every body
about the capitol is inspired with renewed con-
fidence in the final recovery of the President.
The patient will be removed to Long Branch as
soon as possible to avoid the malaria which has
been detected in the atmosphere about the

Fresh Air i'm the Bedroom.
From the Health Primer

How much air can be safely admitted
into sleeping room is a common ques-
ton. Rather, it should be considered
how rapidly, without injury or risk, and
how low temperature. We cannot
have to much fresh air, so long as we are
warm enough, and are not exposed to
draughts. What is draught? It is q
swift current of mir, at a temperature
lower than the body; which robs either
the whole body, or an exposed part, of
its heat, so rapidly as to disturb the
equilibrium of our circulation and give
us cold. Young and healthy persons
can habituate themselves to sleeping in
cold draught, as from an open window,
if they cover themselves, in cold weather,
with an abundance of bed-clothes. But
those who have long been accustomed to
being sheltered from the outer air by
sleeping In warm and nearly or shut up
rooms, are too susceptible to cold to bear
direct draught of cold air. Persons
over ~ years of age, moreover, with
lower vitality than in their youth, will
not bear low temperature, even in the
air they breathe. Like hot-house plants
they may be killed by winter nights

at all times. AS rule we may say that,
except for the most robust, the mir
which enters at night into a sleeping
chamber should, in cold weather, be adj
mitted gradually only by cracks or mod
crate openings, or should have its force
broken by some obstacle. as curtain,
etc., to avert its blowing Immediately
upon sleeper in his bed.
The ancient fashion, however, of hav-
ing curtains which exclude almost all
the air, has rightly become obsolete.
No wonder the people dream horrid
dreams, and wake in the morning wea-
ried rather than refreshed. when they
sleep IN rooms sealed up tightly on every
side, breathing over and over again their
own breaths, which grow more poison
GUS every hour of the night.

Mr.. Stokes barely escaped. Engineer Fitz-

and the loss of life among colored people oc-
cupylng little huts along the river is great. On
Iybee Island, Henry Solomon's house was
blown down, and the ruins taking fire. three
persons were burned to death. The family of
Daniel Bowers, colOred, comprising seven per-
sons, and colored woman and four children

NlNNoR's explanation of his theory in regard
to the weather is not of character to increase
ones confidence in his predictions. He says
THAI his whole philosophy of meteorology is
based on the observed fact that the years come
IN couples and triads. The weather of one
year i'll group, therefore, will have its CORE
spondences with the weather of the other year
of the same group. As a result the character
of the whole year may be foretold, and by care
fully carrying out the system, predictions as to
the weather for each month of year may be
made, and predictions III regard TO the weather
of each week in a month. As TO the character
of separate days Yennor does not venture to
make any prophecies, not through difhdence in
his system, but through knowledge of his in
ability to trace it out to its minute ramifcatons.
He always uses Montreal as the centre of his
weather system and processes to be able to fore
tell the kind of weather that will prevail else
where simply through the use of Montreal
weather as a standard. He knows by observa-
ton that midsummer frosts in Montreal signify
cyclones i'll the southwestern and western states.
To forecast the one for Canada is to forecast
the other for part of the United States.

The retreats for habitual drunkards which

appear to have accomplished much. There are
but two of them. and the number of patients
admitted during the last year has been only fif-
teen, of which seven were females. Five have
been discharged and ten remain under treat
ment- The inspector, Mr.. Hoffman, has ad-
mitted that be is unable to point out a single
case where permanent cure has been effected.
In several cases, however, some good has re-
suited, and the general health of the patients
has improved, of course, during their stay in
the retreats. The experiment, it will be seen.
has been conducted on small scale. The
most successful of American retreats have hard
iy reformed one out of fifteen of those subject
ed to their treatment; and yet they are regard
ed as rather remarkably successful. Mr. In
specIor Hoffman is not discouraged, but thinks
with few amendments and further experience

attaining the beneficial object proposed.

The success of the Australian colonies has
been in measure due to the fact that the ex-
pense of the voyage precludcs the advent of
pauper emigrants. When moneyless man goes
he has been selected by the colony's agent in
London, with regard to his physical capacities
and character, and although, of course, black
sheep slip in, yet, on the whole, the emgranss
are of superior class and unlikely to swell the
ranks of the paupers. Hence, the standard of
comfort is comparatively high among the work
ing class and this it's coupled with the fact that
manufactures do not as yet pay in the colony,
that accounts for consumption of British
products which, i'll view of the size of the
Australian population, seems at first sight mex
