can mass meeting, and large concourse of
people-estimated at 4,000-attended. A
good deal of disappointment was felt because
Mr.. Burrows was not present. Our people
are warm friends of Mr.. b., and are always
ready and eager to hear him discuss political
issues. He was on the train, but owing to
the fact that Senator Blair had been called to
his home in New Hampshire by the death of
his colleague, Mr.. Burrows had to 60 to
Buchanan TO fill Mr.. Blair's appointment at
that place on Monday evening. The audience
were also disappointed at not hearing Sena-
tor Palmer, who was i'll and unable to be
present. The meeting was opened by short
addresses from Hon. G. j. Monroe, Hon. q.
w. Lawton, Hon. L. IL. Simpson and Hon. j.
j. Woodman, the latter speaking n little
more at length than the other gentlemen
and making an excellent address. But the
main feature was a splendid speech delivered
by the next governor of Michigan, Hon. c.
q. Luce. Everybody was pleased with it and
with the speaker, who added many to the
host of friends he already possessed in this
county. In private conversation, Mr.. Luce
said he should draw on Van Buren, County
for plurality of 1000 votes in his favor.

Discovery OF tho Deepest Body Of Fresh
Water In the Country.


Discovery OF tho Deepest Body Of Fresh
Water In the Country.
(Science.l
Captain c. E. Dutton, Of the q. s.
Geological Survey, has been recently en-
gagged in making study of Crater Lake, in
Oregon, and the latest advices received
from him show that he has discovered
probably the deepest body of fresh water
in the country. Leaving Ashland, Ore,
his party, escorted by ten soldiers, pro-
vided through the courtesy Of the General
commanding the military department of
the Columbia, reached the brink of the wall
Of the lake after q six days journey, having
brought with them boats so mounted ON tho
running gear Of wagons as to bear
transportation over hundred miles of
mountain road without injury. The boats
bore the transportation without strain or
damage, and preparations were at once be-
gun for lowering them 900 feet to the
water. The steepness of the wall was very
great, being at the place selected about Al
degrees or 4s degrees, and the descent
partly over talus, above covered
lower down. The boats entered the water
quite unframed. The process of sheathing
them, rigging the tackle and lowering them
occupied four days. Acouple Of days were
occupied in making journeys around the
walls Of the lake by boat-the only possible
way-and in examining the rocks and
structures Of the wall in its various parts
Next followed q series Of soundings. Tho
depth OF the lake considerably exceeded the
Captains anticipations, though the alb
sence Of any thing like talus near the
water line already indicated deep water
around the entire shore The depths range
from Ssh feet to 1886 feet, so far as the
soundings show, and it is quite possible
and probable that depths both greater and
shallower may be found. The average
depth is about /, 49O feet. The descent from
the waters edge is precipitous; at 400 or
500 yards from shore depths Of 1.5O0 to
1.S00 feet are found all around the margin
The greatest depths will probably exceed
1000 feet, for it is not probable that the
lowest point has been touched. The
soundirgs already made indicate it as be-
ing the deepest body of fresh water in the

lntubation Of the larynx.

The operation of tracheotomy, by
which an opening is made with the
knife into the windpipe for the relic
of membranous Group and diphtheria,
seems likely to be superseded by the
Inhalation of the larynx. In this new
operation a small tube is inserted
through the mouth into the windpipe,
and all necessity for cutting opera
ton is thus avoided. 1t is claimed by
the advocates of this method of treat
ment that it is far easier to introduce
this tube than to perform tracheotomy,
and that more lives are saved than by
the old operation. The statistics which
are given in the medical journals 60
far to confirm their opinions. and as
the process is being generally intro
duced, but little time will be necessary
to substantiate the claims made for it.

People On The Congo Who Roll Their Dead
Relatives IN Blg Bales q Cloth.
Walcke. ON his return from five
years on the Congo. has given some
interesting details in regard to the PEG
pie of its banks. Those of the lower
river have been brutalized by the Inn
portation of liquor. and form . strong
contrast with the people Of the interior,
who have SO far escaped without demon.
alization. On the upper river the Bas-
sunde are the first people to dress their
hair. It is noted that those tribes who
neglect their hair are deficient in physi-
cal and moral qualities. With the Bias.
sunde it takes several hours to per.
form the toilet. They are polygamous,
the wives living in pairs in little huts
grouped around the principal house,
where the head of the family resides.
marriage is simply a matter of bar
gain and sale. The number of wives
in some sort gauges the importance 81
the husbands. They have no cere-
mony in connection with marriage or
birth, but funeral is the occasion Of
much display. 1t is fortunate for the
traders that these people, who wear
hardly anything but breech-clout in
life, when dead consume immense
quantities of cloth. A man who has
not worn twenty yards of cloth in his
whole life will be rolled in four
hundred yards to be buried.
When a death occurs the body is en-
ergetically washed, half the village
joining in the work with loud cries
and bowls and distribution of rum.
The body is put in q sitting posture
and painted red. The chief de-
pressions are then stuffed out
with dead leaves, and the
whole is rolled with cloth into a cylin-
drical bale. The process goes on fol
three months. as the body is not put
under the ground until all the dead
mans estate is exhausted in the pur-
chase of material. Meanwhile It is
placed in a specially constructed hut.
The bigger the bale the greater the
dead mans credit; so that, in case of a
cnleI. the people Will sometimes con-
tribute to enlarge his wrappings. Fl
nally the bale is wrapped in a particu.
larly fine piece reserved for the pur-
pose, and is carried in triumph about
the village, and then buried with salvos
of musketry. which, if the powde,
holds out, are repeated nightly over
the grave for some time. As usual
among the negroes, the death is al.
ways ascribed to sorcery, any one sus'
pected being obliged to undergo the
ordeal of drinking a certain prepare
ton. If within o certain time the sus
pect is overcome by the effects of the
draught, he is put to death as a muir.
derer. The cult of the people is pure
fetichism; they have fetch for each
sort of danger to which they may be
by chance exposed-one for serpents
one for crocOdiles, etc. A native being
told that he must be happy at being
safe from crocodiles, replied: '.Not a,
all; the fetch loses its power wher

Remedy for Damp Houses.

People who are unfortunate enough to

drained land. are apt to think that there is
no help for them save in removal They

have shown that it is quite possible to ma
terially improve the atmosphere for such

The laurel gives of an abundance of ozone,
whilst the sunfiower is potent in Destroy
