The marines who started for Panama on Fri
day, may arrive in time to do some good alter
all. Late dispatches sent to Washington say
that the transit across the Isthmus is not yet
Sufficiently protected. This should serve to
encourage the naval officers and the marines in
this part of the world who have been mourning
bitterly for some days that this chance to dis
tinguish oneself came only to Commander
Kane and his force on the Galena. Many OF
them think that several other ships should
have been sent to the Isthmus several weeks

good gained by these exhibitions, but they
come so frequently now that inventors, mer-

limit of their usefulness will presently be
reached. They have already ceased to be ex-

Miracles of Healing.

In the London Lancet of June 81,
1885, DIR. Buchanan, Professor of Clint
cal Surgery in Glasgow University, writes
thus: " l have no doubt that some of the
persons who went Ito the Grotto of
Lourdes) lame and crippled were restored
to the use OF their limbs, and were re-
ieved of pains and aches" He thinks
that such cases can be accounted for by a
sudden change of the nerve condition,
and gives an account of two cases in his
own experience, in one of which he said
to the patient, who had been confined to
her bed for heightened period, Set
out of bed at once l. She declared she
could not move, (and for months she had
not even altered her position in bed with
out help) He said, You can move
quite well, come out of bedp When, to
the surprise of her husband and sister
who looked perfectly thunder struck, she
came out of bed with almost no hel p and
stood alone. He then said, "Walk across
the floor, and without demur she walk.
ed without assistance, and said, 81 can
walk quite well, I knea0 you could cure
me. My pains are gone" This was in
October, 1875. The lady was in Febru-
airy, 1885, in fair health. DIR. Buchanan,
like wise man, says that he does not
pretend to explain the case, but that it
was just as miraculous as any of the cures
alleged to have been performed at
Lourdes or elsewhere. He gives another
equally remarkable case, which l cannot
now quote, and with perfect frankness
says that there are otherreported cures, ="
the official reports of which he has not
seen, and which therefore he can neither
affirm nor deny, to which the explanation
as above is not applicable. "They are,
he adds, beyond my understanding.
Exactly so-as was said in former dis
course, owe are surrounded by mys-
teries." Nay, 1 go further. 1 do not
contend that God always acts according
to well known laws or that he binds him
self by them.

Cancer of the Tongue.

A Case Resembling that of Gen. Grant.
Some ten years ago L had scrotulous sore on
my right hand which gave me great trouble,
and under the old-time treatment healed up, but
it had only been driven into the system by the
use of potash and mercury and in March, 1882,
it broke ont in my throat, and concentrated in
what some of the doctors called cancer eating
through my cheek, destroying the roof of my
mouth and upper lip, then attacked my tongue,
palate and lower lip, destroying the palate and
under lip entirely and half my tongue, eating
out to the top of my left cheek bone and up to
the left eye. 1 could not eat any solid food, but
subsisted on liquids, and my tongue was so far
gone could not talk. Such was my wretched,
helpless condition the first of last October q S84)
when my friends commenced giving me Swift's
Specific. In less than month the eating places
stopped and healing commenced. and the fearful
aperture in my cheek has been closed and firmly
knitted together A process of new under lip
is progressing finely, and the tongue which was
almost destroyed is being recovered, and it
seems that nature is supplying a new tongue.
L can talk SO that my friends can readily under
stand me, and can also eat solid food again. If
any doubt these facts, would refer them to

African Forests.

In travelling through the great forests
OF the Rocky Mountains, or of all the
Western States, the broken branches and
fallen trunks strewing the ground breast
high with all sorts of decaying litter fire.
quently make locomotion impossible. To
attempt to ride through these Western
forests, with their mesh-work Of inter
locked branches and decaying trunks is
often out of the question, and one has to
dismount and drag his horse after him as
If he were clambering through a wood
yard. But in an African forest not a fall
en- branch is seen. One is struck at first
ct certain clean look about the great
forests of the interior, novel and unac-
countable cleanness, as if the forest bed
were carefully swept and busted daily by
unseen elves. And so, indeed, it is.
ScaVengers of hundred kinds remove
decaying animal matter-from the car
cass of the fallen elephant to the broken
wing OF gnat-eating it or carrying it
out OF sight and burying itin the deodor-
izing earth And the countless millions
OF termites perform similar function for
the vegetable world, making away with
all plants and trees, all stems, twigs and
tissues, the moment the finger of decay
strikes the signal. Constantly in these
woods one comes across what appear to
be sticks and branches and bundles of
tagots, but when closely examined they
are seen to be mere casts in mud.

How to Produce sleen.

An excess of blood in the brain pre-
vents sleep. How to remove the surplus
is the problem for the unfortunates who
wish to sleep but cannot. A pump is
needed for that purpose, and it may be
easily provided, as follows: Having as
sumed the usual posture of repose, inhale
and exhale slowly and steadily long
breaths, devoting the whole attention to
making the inhalations and exhalations
OF exactly the same length. The length
should be much greater than that of ordin-
airy breathing, although not sufficient to
disturb the circulation by working the
lung to their utmost capacity. ANY
person who has force of will enough to
concentrate his whole attention on the
maintenance of this style of breathing
can compel sleep in very unfavorable cir
cumstances, and victims of insomnia
should know it. The value of the method
ID not solely in its holding the mind to
one object Of thought, but the process of
breathing here described is really equiva-
lent to the insertion of a pump In the
brain to draw off it's excess of blood. To
convince yourself that this is so, fill your
lungs with all the air they will hold, and
then expel it, repeating the operation
three or four times as rapidly as possible.
The result will be feeling OF faintness,
unless you are other than an ordinary
mortal, and its cause will be deficiency
of blood in the brain, produced by the
pumping process. Such violent breath
ing will not produce sleep, however, as
there is a reaction which sends the Ii cur.
rent rushing back to the seat Of the mind.
Scientists say that the reason why fear,
surprise, or any other sudden emotion
often causes faintness is because it rapid
ly drives the blood from the brain, and
the fact is significant for those who wish
to understand how toinduce sleep, wheth-
er on the railway train or in their beds
at home, by pumping the excess Of blood
from their brains by peculiar method Of
breathing.

LOCAL BREVITIEs.

The high winds of last night and to day
have caused the tides in the river to become
so low that the channel banks are exposed.
A marriage license was issued in Wash
ington Yesterday TO Reuben Darnell, OF
Fauquier county, and Mary V. TaVener, OF
Loudoun county.
The police report last night as being clear
and cold and windy, with three dodgers, but
no prisoners at the station house. The
Mayor this morning had no cases before him
for trial.
Capt Forrest, of The Washington Steam.
boat Company, has Teen put III command
of the steamer City of Alexandria, and
Capt. Entwisle transferred to the command
of the Arrowsmith.
The usual fire alarm was sounded to-day
about half past eleven o'clock. The cause
was the slight burning of the roof OF a frame
house near the depot Of the Y. NJ. railway.
The flames were extingushed before the ar
rival of the fire department.
Jim O'Rourke, Of the New Yorks, who
was charged with changing The ball during
their recent game with the Nationals, of
Washington, says that the re ason he did so
was because the one the Nationals wanted
them to play with was not regulation ball.
To settle the question which has arisen
in the Downey matter it is stated that the
verdict of the jury yesterday in imposing
fiue against the prisoner carried with 1t all
costs in the case, so that neither the Com
monwealth nor the City will have to pay
any of the expenses involved by the trial.
