"AFRIcAN SUNsH1NE."- ."-Those who re-
member Mark Twain's remark about the
African bellies will be interested in Mr.
Stanley's description Of African sunshine as
given in his new book on the Congo country:
African sunshine always appears to me,
with all its great heat, to be kind of supe-
rior moonlight, Judging from its effects on
scenery. Once or twice in this book [ write
of "solemn-looking" hills. can only at
tribute this apparent solemnity to the pecu-
liar sunshine. 1t deepens the shadows, and
darkens the dark-green foliage of the forest,
while it imparts a wan appearance or cold
reflection light to naked slopes and wood
less hilltops. Its effect is chill austerity-
an indescribable solemnity-a repelling un-
sociability. Your sympathies are not warm
ed by it; silence has set its seal upon it.;
before it you become speechless. Gaze your
utmost on the scene, admire it as you may,
worship it as you will, but your love is not
needed. Speak not of grace or of loveliness
in connection with it. Serene it may be-,
but it is passionless serenity. 1t is to be
contemplated, but not to be spoken to, for
your regard is fixed upon voiceless, sphinx
like immobility, belonging more to an un-
substantial dreamland than to a real earth.
HAMPTON IN WAsHINGTON.-A Wash
ington dispatch of Friday to the NeUs anl
Courier saws: Senator Hampton in quiet
way is looking into the Charleston collector
ship business. He called at the treasury
department and carefully examined several
papers on file in the case. When he had
obtained the information he desired he pro-
ceeded to Secretary Manning's room, and was
closeted with the secretary for some time.
Your correspondent asked the Senator if
| there were any new developments in the
case. He replied that he was endeavoring to
obtain some information on that subject,
but he would not give out anything he
learned. When asked whom he considered
the most acceptable candidate, he said they
were all good men, but he declined to say
whom he would recommend if the Presi-
dent or the secretary should ask his advice
on the subject.
A new candidate, in the person of Mr.. H.
IT. Williams, has entered the field and |
am informed that his papers were examined
by Senator Hampton to-day. Congressman
Dibble has not been here for over two
weeks and is not expected here soon.
How MEN OF IRON ARE kILLED.-Peo-
pie know nothing about each other. Every
man is a globe, natural history to himself.
When we have beaten every enemy out
side of us, there arises unseen enemies
within US. You see the powerful horse go
to the field every day and take his place at
the plow, and one day you find him dead,
and you ask what the trouble might have
been. The horse could not speak, but the
doctor comes along and tells you that he
had the bots. You ask what the bots may
he. Bots you find are some kind of insects
that are propagated within the animal,
feeding upon his health and life. So it is
with men at work, when they are apparent
ly most healthy some unknown species OF
thing seems to want to prey upon them,
if for nothing else than because of such
abundant health. We slay the fattest steer ;
the noblest sheep we want upon our plate
the victims of the commercial necessities OF
life and wear themselves down and out
when everybody else is wondering how they
procured such an iron fabric.
THE PHYSIOLOGY OF PERsPIRATION.-
There are probably 2,500,000 sweat-glands
belonging to each human being, the object
of the existence Of this perspiratory system
being to remove the excess of water and
noxious gases and to regulate the tempera-
ture Of the body. PerspiratiOn is always
going on, and under normal conditions it
amounts to about two pints a day for each
person. If this perspiratiOn is checked in
any way grave results are apt to ensue. The
blood would rush to the lungs and cause
congestion, or to the throat or to the stom-
ach, or other parts, which would become at
once affected The first principle of health
is to keep the skin in good condition, and
the way to keep the skin in good condition
is to use proper food, to bathe often in cold
