a Hot EEGIoN-One of the hottest re-
sions Of the earth is along the Persian Gulf
where little or no rain falls. At Babrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet a com.
parativcly numerous population contrives
te live there, thanks to the copious springs
which burst forth from the bottom of the
sea- The diver, sitting in his boat, winds q
gcatskiu bag around his left arm, the hand
grasping its mouth; then he takes in his
hand heavy stone, to which is attached q
strong line, and, thus equipped, he plunges
in and quickly reaches the bottom. In
stantly opening the bag over the strong jet
OF fresh water he springs up at the same
time closing the bag, and is helped on board.
The stone is then hauled up, and the diver;
after taking breath, plunges in again. The
source OF these copious submarine springs is
thought to be in the green hills of Osman,
some 500 or GOO miles distant.

INSElHr pESI'S.

A correspondent in Hnpcr's Bd=ar writes
about certain dcmolishcr OF these pests rs
follows: The pyrethrum roseum,' or Per
sian camomilc,' is The powdered leaf of a
harmless flower growing in Caucasian Asia
in great proiusion where for centuries it has
been used 10 rid the natives OF unwhulc-
some guests from the insect world. 1t can
be purchased Of almost any reliable drug
cist ut about seventy cents per pound III
ready prepared for use. With 4 finely
powdered dust made from these flowers
the mosquito, the holscly, the wick
ed flea, and the most disgusting CimcX lee
tularius may all be promptly put to death.
1t is only necessary TO heap up into 81 lit
tic cone one teaspoonful of the blessed drug
pyrcthrum, touch it with lighted match,
and watch the thin; blue line OF smoke as it
rises to the ceiling and is waited through
the air, changing the busy drone of insect
life to weak wall Of insect woe.
Smoke from the Persian camomile, or its
dusty powder, we have found most eiIica-
cious, and your readers will bless me when
onco they try it. The purity of the drug
must be assured. This can readily be test
ed; it must have bright bull color, be
light, readily burn, and have pleasant
tea-like fragrance one pinch should kill q
dozen flies, confined in bottle, at once
where it fails of these properties it has been
adulterated.

No MATTER what personal preferences
there may be for the Senator from Dela-

must be subordinated to the general good.
Chiyalrous and pure as Mr.. Bayard Is con-

such hostility in the North that New YORK
State would he in great peril, even with
Blaine as the opposing candidate. The
South certainly is indebted to Mr.. Bayard
for a gallant defence during the most trying
and critical period after the war, and she
would cheerfully accord to him the honor
and distinction of Presidential nomination
ifshe could elect him. But other forces consti-
tute the democratic party, and the South
ern democrats must be satisfied to support
the man presented by their Northern breth-
rem. The candidate must come from
doubtful State, for then all the agencies OF
moral and political activity would be brought
to bear to carry the State for the nominee,
and State pride, which is considerable
factor in the contest, would be sure to give
additional impetus to the canvass. The

THE MORE that is learned about the pro-
ceedings of the national republican conVen-
ton, the more does it become apparent that
though the white delegation, rs one OF
them, Mr.. Flanagan, said, went there for
prospective office, the negroes went for
money, and for the immediate payment
thereof, and that in fact the convention
was sort of political exchange where votes
were the saleable commodity. One of the
negroes who was charged with offering to
sell his vote to Arthur for 5000, now brings
the counter charge that Congressman Houk
offered him $500 if he would vote for
Arthur. And so the Presidential nomina-
ton of the republican party, the party of
high moral ideas, was made by the purchase
of the votes of men whose bodies were sold
before the war But there is nothing
strange in this, for since history began the
negro has been merchantable, and when not
sold by others be will sell himself. The
Ethiopian can not change his character
any more than he can his skin.
