Too many houses are built up the
back in America. There are no through
draughts. Front and back open, and a
current set a-going- fresh air. Air
stagnates, and curtains drawn, blinds
down, carpets on floors, doors closed and
one bit of a window just opened; good
ness. where's the life to come from to
breathe in SO many cubic inches even of
oxygen? Now then, in the morning,
open the street door for an hour and 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, chill
dren droop, babies die, men swear-an !
all for want of little fresh air just pass
ing through the house Look to it. and
open your house door the first thing in
the morning, and if you can set current
going do 1T God and Health.

A NEW-FANGLED SEA SERPANT

The sea serpant must look to his lau-
rels. The crew of Shetland fishing boat
unite in declaring that they were attack
ed fortnight ago by monster, in COM
parison with which the terror of Ameri-
can waters is Insignificant as shrimp.
They declare that they were hauling
their lines twenty-eight miles east south
east of Fetlar, when they saw at short
distance from them something that had
the appearance of three small hillocks,
each about the size Of a six-oared boat,
upset which blew when coming to the
surface. 1t disappeared in the direction
of the boat, and shortly afterward they
saw the monster pass underneath the boat
When it came up again it started right
in their direction with its mouth wide
open-a mouth, they say, that to all ap-
pearance could have taken in their boat.
There seemed to be whiskers of green
color, and about seven or eight feet long,
hanging from its mouth; very large greer
eyes, and on its head were great lump
about the size of a herring barrel. They
threw stones at it, but it still came on
toward them, and only again disappear

NOT WITHOUT A MORAL.

In the earl Y part of 1881 Harry Lee,
an actor, played an engagement in this
city, and during h stay here Miss Elite
K. Smith, Il vivacious young blonde, re
siding at 1925 Green street, fell ,eaper-
ately in love with him. He was hand
some, dashng young chap, aud more
girls beside Miss Elite had been cartiv-
ated by his flashing black eyes and man
" form The more Miss Elite saw OF
pretty Harry the masher. the more des-
perately she fell in love with him. SHE
succeeded IN forming his acquaintance,
aud Harry seeing that the girl was smit
ten, offered her her his heart and hand
She readily accepted the proposal, and it
was decided that they should he married
at Pittsburg. Here they met in February
of last year and were privately married.
The girls mother knew nothing of the
wedding, and the affair was kept a Sc
cret from her. The honeymoon If Mr.
and Mrs Lee lasted Just three weeks, and
at the expiration Of this time the base de
signs of the heartless actor became appar-
eut. He informed her that as she WAS
possessed with more wealth tn he was,
size would have to provide living for
them both The announcement fell like
thunderbolt on the poor girl, and she
asked for an explanation of his conduct
In cold, cruel words he informed her that
he had not married her with the inten-
ton of supporting her, AMI that if she
wanted to live with him she would have
to help support him. He told her that f
she did not care to do this that there
we're plenty OF other girls in the country
that would aud that she might as well
make UP her mind at once to draw on her
mothers bank account or leave him He
laughed ut her when she reminded him of
the solemn maria VOWS they had taken
and told her that the marriage was not a
valid one on account Of his being married
under an assumed name: that his name
was not Harry Lee, hut Harry Oil
The blow was Il cruel ore to the Young
wife, bat she rallied under ii, and the
passionate love for him who had SO base
~ deceived her was turne# to intense ha-
tired. Her independent spirit rose Within
her, and she lett the heDrtles5 husband
and returned to her mother'~ house
In o .tober last she employed Colonel
Mare Manday to procure for her d.
Yorce from her alleged husband, and the
petition was accordingly file. Several
efforts were made to find Lee, bat they
all proved futile, and Yesterday Judge
Pope granted Mrs. Lee decree OF divorce
and restored to her her maiden name

BRAN BEDS FOR. THE BABIES.

A French doctor has invented new
bed for babies which holds them safe in
its custody, and prevents them from ever
giving any trouble at night to their at
PENDANTS This gentleman has subjected
his system to the most trying of ali tests,
for ne has applied it 20 all his own chill
dren, and considers that the life of one of
them is entirely owing to- its use. The
idea is to fill the greater part of the era
die with bran, and immerse the legs and
part of the body of the child in this nest,
covering them over in the usual way,
but fastening down the counterpart tight,
so as to keep him firm in bis place. Why
this change of tactics should have the
effect of taking away from the infant
his usual desire to howl during part of
every night is question which we will
leave nurses to explain for themselves
after they have tried the system In the
meantime, until that trial has been made,
it is only civil to believe the testimony
of Drs. Bourgeois and Vigoureux, who in
two French papers Of some authority de-
clare that such is the invariable result.
This is not, however, the only advantage
to be expected from the system. The
bran is supposed to have a warming aud
stimulating influence superior to any sort
Of cotton or cloth, and to allow children
Of the more sickly kind to develop more
quickly and to be sooner able to use their
limbs. The inventor of the system de-
;lares that they delight in their bran
oeds, and always "quit them with regret, "
when removed at the age of two years to
one OF a different kind.-LOndon Glo6e Z.

The IDEAL INDIAN.-The Osages are
said to be nearest tc the ideal Indians in
appearance among the remaining tribes
Of Indian Territory The average height
of the men is fully six feet, and their fea-
lures are strongly characteristic. They
retain the savage DRESS" says a cores
pondent of the Providence Journal,
''shave their heads except a ridge of bris-
ties on the top, like a cocks comb, streak
their faces with red ochre, and their
bodies and arms with dark lines. When
the three youths presenting this appear
ance dashed up to US on their ponies, it
looked as though we had got among the
native aboriginies at last They extend
ed their hands with a smiling greeting
9latshowed their white teeth, and ute :
ed the talismanic 'Howgh,' to which we
responded with an attempt at equally
deep-lunged emphasis, and then they
clattered on, sitting straight on their
horses backs and riding like centaurs.
In the same manner, however, the writer
describes something far less picturesque
and more civilized-the spectacle Of a
native constable Juggling a drunken In
dian to jail, and clubbing him, police
man fashion, on the way. He also heard
some squaws singing selections from "Pin.
afore'' in a mostv dreadful manner, to the
accompaniment of a painful accordion

IN another column will be found the
full particulars of the execution OF the
arch-criminal and assassin OF the nine
teenth century, Charles J. Guiteau, whose
name will forever be connected with
everything that is infamous, wicked and
execrable. There would be an easier
feeling in the land if the last Guiteau had
been disposed of. Others of the tribe,
however, remain, and there is no surety
that some one OF them may not again
play the role of lurking assassin. John
w. Guiteau a few days before his broth
e cath got into frenzy ofexcitement
with President Arthur because leniency
was denied the assassinsso Garfield and SO
abusive and insulting did he become that
the President ordered him from the room.
Who can tell what the result may be OF
John Guiteau's brooding over what he
deems a gross affront to him from the
Executive? The country, we think, de
mands that the entire Guiteau family be
most closely watched and if needs be
placed in safe-keeping.

It is no more than simple justice to Mr..
Caswell that this letter should be made
rublic, inasmuch as it is the first time he
has spoken to the Congressional question
through the press; and besides that fair
ness to Mr.. Williams would demand its
publication. Wishing to be perfectly
fair toward Mr.. Caswell, who has served
his constituents so faithfully and well,
and also entirely just to Mr.. Williams
whose services in Congress are recognized
by the entire Republican party in the
First district, the Gazette has taken no
advantage of Mr., Caswell's embarrassing
situation, and its course will be endorsed
by his friends, and approved by all the
honest friends of Mr.. Williams in the dis
triet.=JnnesriZle Gazette.

the case, we hope it will be a wholesome
lesson for the future. The result in the
