-complished on the 10th in the de
struction of what remained of He'll
Gate in Lopg Island Sound. The
plan adopted for clearing this impor
tant waterway of an obstruction SO
dangerous was the same as that a
dopted by Gen. Newton in his first
{ experiment. at the same place, and 1t
was carried out without the least &C
cident, although terrors were en-
count, red BY the workmen at almost
every foot of the excavated galleries
The labor was great and the expense
enormous. but 1t will all be more than
compensated for by the freedom
which it affords for the shipping in
terests OF the New York and New
England coast. 1t was q monster
undertaking, viewed in any light
and Gen. Newton and his subordi
mates of the United States cagiaeel
corps are to be congratulated upor
SD signal triumph of their skill
and science.

1t is pretty generally believed
that the Blair educational bill. or
one similar to it, will PASS Congress
during the first session. The senti
ment developed in all parts of the
country, md especially in the So TIL,
in favor of the bill has been very
strongly marked. There was great
disappointment in the South last
winter over the failure of the forty
eighth Congress to pass the bill. Its
passage will send twenty five mill
ions money, perhaps more. into the
South within the next few years.

Air and Sunshine.

The disinfecting power of freely
circulating pure air is nov fully rec
ognized by sanitarians. The secret
of it is, in part the rapid diffusion
of the morbid particles, thus greatly
diluling them, as mineral poisons
may be rendered harmless by din
ton. So great is this diffasive ten
dency, acting with constant 'ircula
ton of the air in vast currents, that.
though every variety of harmful
gases ard miasms is necessarily
thrown into the air of our large cit
les, no difference can be detected by
analysis between the air of The IL ter
and the air of our rural districts.
But ano' her explanatory fact is
the actual disinfec ing power of sun.
shine aud oxygen. 1t is the inhaled
oxygen that changes the dark, i'm.
pure venous blood into the pure
scarlet blood of the arteries. 1t is
the chemical power Of sunshine that
gives us our wonderful photographs.
IL is the sunshine that bleaches the
cotton cloth laid on the grass, and,
on the other hand, changes the pure
white OF n potato vine grown in a
cellar to dark green when trans.
ferred to the open air,
Hence, in our late armies, not.
outstanding so many unhealty con-
dltions, typhoid fever never tended
to spread, and was almost never ia.
tai. It is for this reason that, in all
infectious diseases, the physician in
sists on q free circulation of air in
the sick room.
An Interesting illustration of the
same is furnished BY the celebrated
Dr. Richardson. of England. He
finds that the vagrant class who
have no homes, but sleep anywhere
and get fond anyhow, rarely con
tract contagious diseases, and more
rarely convey them, and that, 100,
though they wear cast off, aud, Otter,
infected clothing. and occupy the
worst of lodging houses.
The gypsies also are remarkably
Tree from spreading diseases; they
know little,of small OK, though lit.
tie protected BY vaccination. One
seldom finds amang them diseases OF
Il scrofulous nature. DR.. Richard.
/ son concludes that poverty in itself
has nothing to do with the occur
renee of zymotic (infectious) dis.
eases; that fresh air is the one
mighty iisinfectant, aud that luxu.

Cla' Summers holiday is done
The landscape waxeth sober,
And Autmn's bounteous reign begun,
Comes now serene October.
The hues that tint the wide expanse
OF forest and ofmeadow,
Soon less and less must lose their trance,
As shadow follows shadow.
A hush pervades the azure air,
Like silence following rhymes,
And farewell birds take wings for fair
And gayer floral climes;
Yet still chirps low, in plaintive mood,
The cricket's lonely lutte,
And hoarsely brawl, down rocky wall,
Streams which soon must be mute.
And so, O clear October days,
| love thy deepening dulls and grays-
Thy frosty heaths and dreamy runes,
Thy steadfast stars and harvest moons,
Thy wealth Of fruit--thy yellow sh ayes,
And silent fall Of dying leaves
And think how soon to dust must turn
The hopes that never more return.
