Cold Sleeping Rooms.

Whatever our ancestors may have
thought of cold sleeping rooms, we can
not know. But we think that healthy
sleeping rooms are those into which The
sun can shine during several hours Of
the day, and from which vitiated airs
can fully pass and pure air come in. We
contend that cold sleeping rooms are
more healthy than warm ones for all
persons who possess the normal amount
of health and power of resistance;
warmth always increases the amount OF
exhalations from the lungs and emana-
tions from the body. These two sources
of vitiated air are always generating
carbon gases at once unpleasant to the
sense of men and deleterious to the
healthy, if its per cent. is much larger
than that which pure and normal AIR
contain. And then hot air, and even
warm, renders the mucous membrane OF
the respiratory organs tender and sus-
ceptible to the influences of "alt the
winds that blow" Daring the hours OF
day we need only q certain amount oil
outer warmth, depending upon the
amount Of heat we generate by con-
Stunning nutritious and easily digested
food, and by inhaling proper sup
ply of pure air. To all inten's and
purposes air is food The very act
of mastication mingles air with all we
eat. It aids the process OF digestion
and all other processes in the animal
economy. The colder air may be the
more oxygen it contains and the more
vitality it imparts. A multitude of per-
sons awake in morning hours without
having had refreshing sleep, simply be-
cause they are compelled to breathe
warm and vitiated air. Opening the
windows and freely admitting the morn
ing air, however cold it may be, removes
the WEAKNESS induced by inhaling warm
and vitiated air.
Either extremes of heat or cold, when
we are asleep, may be harmful, but cold
is much less apt to harm our health than
warmth. Cold air is usually more pure
and invigorating than warm. In warm
seasons we feel weak aE1 weary, and are
right glad to feel waves of cold air com
ing We, ourselves, always sleep with
the fresh, outer air Fastening into our
dormitory all night long. Cold air,
or night air, when we are awake or
fast asleep, invigorates our frame and
imparts strength of mind and activity
of body. 1t increases our appetite
and strengthens our digestive forces.
Every one who wishes to improve in
health should secure large supply Of
cold air during his hours Of sleep.
We do not take cold from exposure to
freezing air, if that air be dry, but we do
contract a cold by exposure to damp and
chilly air. Our experience is, that
sleeping in warm and unventilated
rooms is uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Any one may know that the exhalations
from the lungs emanations from the
body are never so copious as when we
are in warm rooms. The cry against
cold sleeping rooms should be expended
upon damp and chilly ones. Dry and
cold air is always healthy. We send
persons far gone in consumption to Min
nesota, because the air Is cold and dry.

IN DEADLY DANGER.
The Story of the Loss of the Jean
nette-Frightful Perils Endured ON

The Story of the Loss of the Jean
nette-FrightfuI PeriIs Endured ON
the Ice.
The San Francisco papers publish a letter
from Dr. 81. C. Ledyard. an American now in
Siberia, to friend in that city. At Irkoutsk
Ledyard met Lieut.. Dannenhower, who gave
him interesting details of the loss of the Jean
nette, from which the following extracts are
made:
'Since the first fall. when they were caught
by the ice in trying to reach Herald island,
they have never taken a course but they were
held as if in the jaws of death, squeezed till
every timber quivered, turned this way and
that, thrown floating and then caught again,
and every hour in suspense, never knowing
when the ice would close upon them. A
little more and the deck sank beneath
them. Throughout this strain they were
we'll and trying to be cheerful,
working very hard, for the engine
and men were barely able to keep the water out.
They had to pump for year and a half June
IL, 1881, the crisis came. The ship showed
greater straining than before, the deck quivered
and lnexphcable movements varied them, and
they prepared their boats and made their camp
beside the vessel She rose and turned in her
cradle till the yards touched the ice then the
rigging gave way and the masts lay PROSTATE.
AT o'clock in the morning the foe parted and
all went down. A cry of alarm called all to es-
cape from the creyice in the ice 1t opened just
through the Captains tent. Then began the
retreat. Twenty-Five days they struggled
southwark Three hundred miles of broken ice
were thus passed over. Four miles day was
thought good fortune. After one series of
fourteen days they were twenty-seven miles
further than at first. While working over the
ice dragging three boats they discovered Ben
nett island, to explore which they ssent three
weeks of their precious summer days, and ex-
pended much of the limited supply of food. To
this detour those who survived attribute much
of their suffering, and the death of the COM
mander with nineteen men. After three months
OF this perilous and exhaustive work they came
to blue water, and then with fair winds took
course for the mouth of the Lena river. Mel
ville's boat was stove against q block of ice.
The Captains boat lost her mast and sail.
The Captain landed with all well, but aban-
doned the boat as the water was shallow and
would not make the channel of the river"

Here is how, according to Eli Perkins,
a young man with $500 can make fort
une: Let him go to Northwestern
Iowa or Southern Minnesota and buy
$50 acres of land. Let him plant fifty
acres of black walnuts, 800 trees to the
acre. When these $1,000 trees are
twenty years old they will be fifteen
inches in diameter. They will
be worth S. tree, or $4,000. AT
thirty years old they will be worth $40

the trees are ten years old the nuts will

OT. JOSEPH, MO-, Apru III.
Toe pardons issued by Gov. Crittenden to
Robert and Charles Ford reached st. Joseph at
noon yesterday, and the boys shook hands with
everybody and passed out of Jail. They were
delighted at once more regaining light and
liberty after most-trying confinement of
thirteen days. They had scarcely emerged
from the shadow of the prison door when
Sheriff Trigg, Of Ray county, stepped up
with paper in his hand, to which he called
the attention of Robert while he read it. The
paper proved to be warrant for his arrest,
charging him with the murder or completely in
the murder of Wood Hite, whose body was
found in an old well on the Ford farm, near
Richmond, week or ten days ago. Robert has
proved himself not only man of nerve, but
cool and self-possessed, throughout the trying
ordeal through which he has passed, but this
sudden and unexpected performance some
what unnerved and frustrated him, and, be-
side coloring up, his features twitched a
trife and his hands got in his way. He was
soon at himself, however, and, with careless

Robert and Charley, Sherifs T1mberlake Of

agreed that the entire party would go to Kan
sas City, thence to Richmond. The prisoner
was attended by his father and brother and
guarded by officers.

THAT RING.

The CITIZEN does not wage war upon the administration. It has merely con- mented upon the inconsistencies of the incumbents of the offices of U. s. Attor- ney and Marshal. From the fact of their appointment to office they are supposed to be Republicans, and yet they bestow all their official favOrs upon notorious Democrats. Whether this is done through a natural affinity for that party or ln retaliation for criticism of their acts, or because the party does not choose to take their will for law, does not enter into the question. As an in- stance, We cite the appointment by Mar shal Tidball of his deputies. Through the solicitation of supposed Republican-a federal officer - Mir J. W. Evans a Democrat, was ap- pointed. and Len Harris another Demo- crat, has been appointed Deputy Mar shRl also, and at the time Of his ap- pointment the CITIZEN made the fol- lowing mention of the fact, which has been construed by some weak minds to be an endorsement of the act

The packing for seven years was:

T M A countries like Arizona and Northern Mexico, where there are many camps in which fresh fIlits or meats cannot be obtained from years end to years end, and where they are necessary to health itself.
 We produce about eight millions and half pounds of hard bread aud crackers suited for the same destination: while hog products can be laid down cheaper from San Francisco than else where.
 Our supplies O; liquors, dry goods and clothing can in most instanceslbe sold cheaper from this point, because we manufacture many of them here where they can be bought at first hand. Of course, furniture and lumber need not be so ght after anywhere else, nor need any of the materials for building or for repairing.
 BlacksInith's iron and other goods laid down cheaply by sea, cannot well be competed for from any other point when obtained from first hands.
 Ere long Arizona will have a populR- tion of 100000. and her progress from that time will be rapid; and, taking in Northern Mexico, there are not less than half to three-quarters of million of people that may not be reached by our merchants. But Arizona and Sonora form only the gateway to the magnificent commerce that stretches out Tn almost illimitable vistas south ward, and to which our relations with them directly tend. They are reached by double road, over land and sea, and which the merchants now trading in this direction have done so much to open up before us.

THE GLOBE ROAD

The long neglected, but very impor- tant project of straightening and i'm proving the wagon road between Tue son and Globe, should engage the earn est attention Of the people of thIs city. At present the travel leaves the rail road at Willcox, goes directly north through Fort Grant and Camp Thomas, thence westerly to San Carlos, and northwest to Globe, a distance of l32 mics.
 The present road from Tucson passes north through Canyon Del Gro, and to the east Of the TortIlita mountains to old Camp Grant. Between this point and tine Junction Of the Gila and San Pedro rivers the latter stream should be crossed, and an already existing road for seven miles be repaired and made into first class highway. Continuing on across Deer and Ash creeks, a new road should be constructed to the up- . per crossing of the Gila into the old road again. This cutoff would save some distance, and, what Is of more importance, it would avoid the rocky, dangerous, and often impossible road which runs up the Gila from the San Pedro, and which crosses the bed of the Gila about twenty times. The pro- posed road will meet with great favor among tine settlers on the lower San PedIo. who would assist in placing it in good shape and in maintaining it Ill good condition in the future. The estimated expense of opening this cut of is from Sl,0OO to Sl,5O0 sum rediculously insignificant compared with the advantages that must accrue to Tucson from a good road over so short and direct route.
 Let our business men Of energy come together and improve such portion of this road as lies beyond the jurisdiction of our Board Of Supervisors and they will soon realize that more profitable venture was never made. The com mercial supremacy of this city can only be maintained by affording outside merchants better facilities for transpor- tatiOn than other points can, and the present method seems a matter of | practical necessity to our merchants.

CHOICE NoRTALs-

Itseems that the District Attorney at Washington, acting upon information from the foreman of the jury in the Star route trial, will issue warrants for the arrest of Brewster Cameron and Henry A. Bowen, to answer charges of attempting to bribe jurors, and a very unpleasant scandal is evidently about to be made public. Cameron and Bowen were recently in Tucson, where the former gentleman received some wholesome lessons in the proper rela- 4a'lls, ''----A ---t American citizen to an arruganf Washington snob. He once took occasion to remark that cer- tain portions of this Territory were the property of the administration, and that be was portion of that admins tratiOn and would not permit certain things to transpire. It was sort of an individual ownership derived from be- ing hired to perform certain clerical duties at Washington that required modest ability and unlimited insolence. His remark brought forth a most ter rible and whitening wor dlashing from 8 bystander, who spared none of the most expressive and forcible adjectives in the English language. Mir. Cameron soon learned that he was upon an Ari- zona mesa, talking with free American citizen-a peer of those to whom Cameron has been accustomed all his useless life to toady.
 While in Tucson this man who is charged with bribing jurors, was an almost constant companion of J. A. Zabriskie, c. E. Daily, the receiver of the Land Office, z. L. Tidball and a fewothers who composed truly a select circle, well calculated to excite the con- tempt that was awarded them by 6 dis crlminating public.
