Ths temperature is about at zero. No

At Dixon, Ill, the Illinois Central

has fallen.
At Mattoon, in southern Illinois,
there was heavy thunder storm last
night, accompanied by hail and sleet
At Milwaukee, Wis a severe wind
and snow storm set in at an early hour
this morning and continued through
out the entire day and well into the
night. Reports to the general officer
of the Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
show that the storm is general through
out Wisconsin and all the adjoining
states, its fury being especially felt in
southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois
and northwestern Iowa.
Trains on all lines in Wisconsin,
havo been delayed from one to four
hours to day, but no case of absolute
blockade is yet reported. Nearly all
freight trains have baen suspended.
Those that are absolutely necessary
to be run will be given two engines.
To night the snow is abating but the
high wind continues forming huge
drifts. The only hope of railroad
men to prevent ba3 blockade is that
the wind may subside.

A Search For Hidden Treasure.

The following details are published
respecting the expedition to Brazil in
search of hidden treasure, which was
recently fitted out in England:
A ship captain, well known 10 the
ship brokers ON the quayside, and
who has traded to the Tyne for some
years, was the first person to obtain
the plans and papers relating to the
hidden treasure. An old sailor. who
had sailed with the captain and who
was i'll and living in poor circum-
stances, consented to hand over the
documents on receipt of pecuniary re-
lief. This nan had seen the wealth
carefully hldden-in fact was, in his
younger days, one of the pirates who
pluudered the vessel from which il
taken. The papers remained IN pos
session of the captain for some time,
during which he endeavored to get
vessel bound in the direction of the
island TO sail and inspect the place.
Tie succeeded at last in persuadiug
the owner of n ship bound for Rio
Janelro te allow the captain TO call ut
the island Of Trinidad, which is stu
ated 250 miles south of Rio Janeiro on
the Brazilian coast. 1t is on this isl
and that the wealth is hidden. The
fortunate poSseSSor made one stipula
tion-that his SON should go IN the
ship, and on landing make the ncces.
Sary survey. This was more difficult
than had been supposed. MANY at
temptS were made to reach the shore,
but, owing to the want of proper surf
boats, they were without success The
youth resolved, at the risk of his life,
10 swim ashore. A rope was fastened
around his waist to drag him to the
boat, which Law some distance from
the shore, should he reach the island
and wish TO return TO the ship His
gallant efforts wers crowned with
success Following the instructions
laid down In TIE documents, and
guided by tie plan, he came to the
place where the wealth lay, but dis
appointment was his reward Since
the treasure was stored, a landslip
had covered the spot and prevented
him from getting at the specie. lie
returned to the shore, was hauled
through the surf, and taken on board
The captain, on hearing the report,
proceeded on his voyage Ga reach
ing home, the captain deposited his
papers ard bis report in the usual
manner, aud nothing more was heard
or done till the gentleman already
mentioned resolved some months ago,
TO form a company, charter a ship,
and verify the statements.

AN exchange suggests 10 Mr. Cleve'
land that it would be wise for him to
call to his cabiRet, not rich million
aires whose gorgeous entertainments
would be the delight of those of whom
they were not the envy, but men of
moderate fortune, whose reputation is
for something besides mere wealth. 1t
would be good example to set t. 4
deIlar-wol shipping generation il there
should be an administration of SIMPLE
manners, elegance without oStenta-
ton, AID none OF the vulgar display
of wealth. 1t would promote hoLeSty
in the departments TO know that men
in high place could livesimply, plain
ly, frugally, and rest their claims to
distinction not on their vine cellars
but their own true worth, not on their
incomes but in their capacity for states
manlike work.
Some of the choicest social and
Ctlicial circles in Washington in other
days have been those of public men
who had small fortunes But they had
culture aud retin, ment, which were
richer than fine gold; they had a
good mans, which is better than rich
eS; they had the hospitality which
is not solely of the larder and treuch-
er, but of the cordial welcome aud
the entertainment of which the bril-
liancy appealed not to the stomach
but the mind, not tO the eye with
gems, but to the mind with culture,
refinement, elegant manners and
sparkling wit.
Wealth is we'll But the men who
are foremost in learning, in knowl-
edge, in the attainmen,s that most
enrich the mind and increase its capac-
tiles for usefulness, are men who have
been too lusy to devote themselves to
mcney making. And when wealth
becomes the open sesame to places OF
public trust, and an ostentatious dis
play of it sets an example of extrava-
gance, every department of thc gov
ernment will soon be corrupted Let
us have an administration that does
oot seem to be trying TO make a par,
ade of the private fortunes of its Off

Curing a Cold in the Head.
The Family Doctor In Household Words


The commonest type of cold is that
called 'cold in the head" to distiu-
tinguish it from cold in the chest. J"
This ''cold in the head has certain
well-marked symptoms feeling of
general mdtdlSe is experienced, often
accompanied by a slight feverish sick
ness. Then comes a sensation of
fulness in the head, there is sneezing,
a prcfuse flow of tears, an irritating
and copious discharge from the nose.
This means that the mucous mem
hrans of the nose is infiamed, and if
this spreads down the back of the
throat, the sufferer become hoarse.
The best way to treat this troublesome
complaint is TO take ''hot drink.
An orange sliced and put into large
cup with little sugar sprinkled over
it, and boiling water poured upon it,
and then drunk as hot as possible is
both pleasant and beneficial The
feet should be put into hot water, with
or without little mustard The foot
bath should be taken at the bedside;
the patient should be well wrapped up,
and blanket placed across his knees
as to confne the steam. After keep
ing the feet in the water for from five
to ten minutes, the patient should lose
no time in getting into bed, where ne
will probably derive great benefit
from the general feeling of warmth,
and from the flow of perspiration
which has been induced. III possible,
at this stage, the patient should re
main in bed two days, with fire in
his room, which should be well made
up at night, so as TO keep alight till
morning. But keeping in bed will do
little good if the patient persists in
holding a newspaper or book to read,
for thereby hG is more dangerously
exposed to cold than if he were up,
dressed and going about as usual.
The main point is to keep thoroughly
wrapped up and constantly warm.
Even an uncomfortable degree OF heat
may be beneficial.
A small piece of camphor, chewed
and sucked, IS very good. So is the
inhalation Of sulphurous acid gas a
remedy which was found to be in coz
slant use by the weavers of Kircaldy.
who had it among the materials of
their work. Bay two ounces OF sui
phurous acid dilute from chemist,
and then take out the cork and inhale
through the nostrils only, of course
the pungent gas which is given of.
Some use Terriers snuff, and find
benefit thercfrom; but it must be used
cautiously, as it contains powerful
drug-to wit: morphia. Ten or twelve
grains of Dover's powder taken in
Cruel at bedtime is good for an adult,
bat should not be administered TO
children, as it contains opium. which
should never be given to them without
a doctors prescription. To AVOID an
unpleasant excoriation of the nose
and upper lip during the course of
cold in The head, they should be often
washed thoroughly with soap and
lukewarm water, and little vaseline
should be applied. If the throat feels
sore, a chlorate of potash lczenge
should be sucked occasionally
