London Fogs.
Qutrcr

This smoke is made up of particles of
carbon, to which particles the minute
clobules of water attach themselves until
they form mass of such bulk as to be
perfectly Opaque. tits the adhesion of
water to carbon which institutes the
mechanical mixture.
The accumulation Of fog from the
causes named cannot go on for many
hours without disturbances arising
which tend to lessen the evil. In VIM
ter the fires of London keep the tenn
perature of the air over the city two or
three degrees higher than it is in the
surrounding country.
The result is an upward current OF air,
rising to a considerable height, and car
rying q cloud of smoke which spreads
out in the upper strata. Surface currents
Of air set in motion, and the fog is driven
away.
The evil of fogs would be remedied in

The secret association in Havana,
Cuba, clos Nanigos," is being sup
pressed This criminal ASSOCIATION was
in earlier times composed of Africans
exclusively, but the Africans have disap-
peared, and the society now consists OF
Cuban, colored men and small num-
Der of whites. The Nanigos Association
is divided into many groups or parties.
Each wears and uses its own particular
signs, and there are no greater enemies
than two Nanigos who may belong to
different bands.
All these several bands hold regular
sessions. A new member must drink the
blood, while still warm, of cock whose
head has been cut off. The principal
purpose of the primitive Nanigos was
a simple union against the white race.
but that character has disappeared and
IN later years their efforts appear to be
confined mainly to an active warfare
among one another. Shots exchanged
in the streets of Havana by Nanigos of
different bands have frequently created
alarm and excitement. The police mr.
rested the leaders of some Mango
bands. These upon being released, de-
livered up all the apparatus used in
their ceremonies aud promised to dis
solve. Later two other bands surren-
dered their paraphernalia and prom
ised to go out of existence, The sur
render and dissolution of the remaining
bands is expected soon.-Cincinndti IN

To the Lougee Medicine Co.:
Gentlemrn.-In March last, upon my return
from Florida, l was attacked by Intl4m-
matory rheumatism, which badly effected my
knees and feet | was confined to my bed for
three weeks, unable TO move and to the house
for more than seven weeks. My appetite was
gone, and suffered from trembling sensa-
tion in my stomach, the result of weakness,
almost constantly. / was under medical treat
mcnt until May, when your Mr.. WEIGH gave me
a bottle OF DIR. r. w. Lougee's Vltalizing Com
pound to Try. In less than week after COM
mencing TO take the Compound, this unplels-
ant sensation at the stomach had entirely dis
appeared, and has never r, turned; my appetite
which had been very poor, was soon restored
TO full measure, and by the action of the Com
pound upon my impoverished blood, my rbeu-
ma'ism gradually yielded and in a month bad
entirely disappeared. In fact, from the first
taking of the Compound my improvement in
every respect was rapid and constant and l
have been for two months in perfect health.
/ consider it a remarkable medicine for such
affections and can most heartily recommend 1t
to all sufferers like myself.
To parties living at a distance, who may be
interested in my case, and in consequence de-
sire TO establish my identity would say that
have been engaged in shoe manufacturing in
this city for some thirty years, and that my
residence is AZ 276 Chestnut St, Lynn, Mass.

leaving about five acres untouched by

scraping away the dry grass and leaves
from our wounded men and baggage to
prevent the fire from Passing over them,
and likewise piling rocks and bushes to

New courage seemed to borrow;
Her voice rang through the twilight nirk
"l'm going home tomorrow"
Then all about that dingy room,
Through all its grimy whiteness,
Thare shone light that made the gloom
Glow with celestial brightness.
And from the singers careworn face
Passed every line If sorrow,
AS sung she in that gloomy place,
I'm going home Tomorrow"
Oh, choris'er of faith and hope,
In labor's by-paths lowly,
Why should l, weary, doubling, grope,
Your aim OF life is holy.
Why, then, need 1, from day to day,
Much useless trouble borrow2
Why not sing your gladstone lay?
"pm going home tomorrow.
