This affection, says he, al tacks not only those who are engage' in haying, but also those who hav nothing to do with such work ; not onl; those who are exposed to th emanations springing from forag plants, but also those who are pre served from such influences. In sliorl while the author does not go so far a to entirely discredit in all cases the bf lief that this malady is ayyravatrcl b these emanations, still he hold that they act a very secondary par! All the symptoms of hay fever occui according to him, at every season o the year, and are the result of exposur to the sun and then to cold while th body is moist with perspiration, pel sons of emphysematous (bloated) habi V\ai* n ut\r/iii>l li> lioKl i nttnnL' liauiv HI/ UV bUVA) nuviuv exposed or not to the action of th irritaut emanations. The annual per: odicity of the complaint, which i usually regarded as one of its chura< teristics, Dr. Decaisne holds to be nc proven, most of the patients he ol served having passed several yeai without any of the symptoms. As for the dyspnoea (ditliculty c breathing) which is usually regarded a one of the surest signs of the malady the author considers it to be more c less pronounced extension of the irriti tion of the nasal and pharyngeal nn conb membrane, as in the case ( epidemic catarrh {grippe.) He wonl therefore erase from the catalogue < diseases the title " hay fever," which i nothing but a catarrhal fever influence and modified in its causes and in il course, according to the patient's habi by the atmospheric conditions whic produce acute bronchial affections. t'nttle in Winter.

A Mr. Kingan, of Indianapolis, hi authorized tho benevolent societies I draw on hiru for S100 per week ft charitable purposes during the winte The Last Barrier Blown Down. Scene* In the Hoomc Tunnel-The Mountain Pierced from End to End. The Hoosac Mountain has been penetrated. The last barrier against an l(.' uninterrupted passage from one side to the other was completely removed, and a few minutes latter the parties which m had entered from opposite sides were 1-1 shaking hands on the western side of s? ' the breach. There was no ceremony whatever at the opening, and no public k notice bad been given by the contracj* tor. although the announcement had i indirectly found its way into the journals Fiftv persons besides the miners were on the shaft side of the blast, and somo _ twenty on the west side. The holes for '? I tlie linal blast baa been ariuea in n the morning, and but for the previous [e determination to allow visitors to witness the operation, the whole thing might have been over at 10 o'clock. n The old workman, who has faced death a a thousand times in charging holes with 0 nitro-glycerine, was sent down the cen,e tral at about 1:30 o'clock, with his long n cans of the explosive. All the glycerine for this final blast was carried down the shaft, and that for the west-end holes was passed through the hole alieady drilled. Tho most dangerous task con" uected with the work of the tunnel was b accomplished, and word was brought up that nothing remained but to connect the wires of the battery. The cage was packed full half a dozen times, e and the visitors were speedily dropped i. down the shaft into the dismal regions v below. The hollow echoes of the walls, b tho dim and flickering lamps, the drip g of water, and the reports ol occasional explosions, where the workmen were j engaged in trimming east of the shaft, e | were the only sights and sounds. >? There was a hug wait between the l' acts, owing to the lateness of the train j ? which brought the gentlemen from Bos- I ton to the East End. At last, Mr. j " Shanly, who had started out to meet [ ' them,* returned with the rest of the " company, and word was at once dis- ! ! patched to the man who had charge of | t I tne uiast to connect rue wire?, -luir i n 1 man was stationed only about 500 feet t . ' from the beading, and, from the effect) t at our distant station, 2,000 feet from1 e ; the blast, the crasli when the wires j I touched must have been terrific. The ; report of the explosion came flist with j a distinct crack followed instantly by a I. : dull, prolonged boom, and accompanied ! by a very perceptible puff of wind. A ; e 1 shout was given by all present, and the | q company began to flock forward toward 8 ; the heading in a general scramble, but B : this was soon stopped, for it would have . been highly dangerous to have gone j v into the heading before it was known j whether all the explosives had been discharged. A few hundred feet from the I | shaft, therefore, the visitors were stopj ped until two men, who had gone up to 1 examine the holes, came running back j with the information that a fine clean o breach had been made. Then there was i another pell mell scramble for the opend ing. The miners, however, were first, ' but they did not pass through the opend ing but prevented others from doing so. ? When the company had assembled, the J miners made a passage-way between e two lines, and Mr. Shanly, with Hon. ? ! Robert Johnson, of Boston, State Sena! tor and Chairman of the Legislative '? 1 Committee on the Tunnel, marched up s the breach, the entire assemblage cheer!* | ing them heartily. Just as they reacliy ed the aperture Mr. Shanly fell back s j and allowed Mr. Johnson to pass through t. ! in front of him. The general crowd I \ very quickly followed, and on the other J f I side of the opening not less enthusiasm ? ' was manifested. e i The breach made was about five feet - j by four, large enough for two people to it | pass abreast quite easily. The explo- ] r sion on the west 6ide was much louder j e than on the other, and had a greater i- effect on persons in the tunnel. The >s work done was tremendous. One great 5- rock, weighing fully a ton, was thrown >t a distance of .'100 feet, where its mo> mentum was still sufficient to break down the ponderous gates set up as a ' barrier. There was much picking up of relics for a short time, including, 18 doubtless, many rock specimens of previous blasts. As there were still many ,r chances to be first in something, those who went in at the west shaft were in l* haste to get to the central shaft and >f i pass upward, while those who had d ! come down the central shaft pushed for the west end. The western half of the IS tnnnel differs greatly from the eastern d half in the headings of the rock. It is 's nearly all quartz for upward of a mile, and then the material grows gradually h softer, until at a distance of 2,000 feet from the portal it gets so soft that it was necessary to brick it the whole dis? tnnee where it has been completed. y Not less than 7,000,000 bricks will have l*t> been used in arching. The west end u i differs from the eastern half, also, in ' the amount of water, for almost the .e j whole distance of twelve thousand feet 1_ the floor of the tunnel is composed of ... slimy mud, ground down bv the feet of j. the mules ami the miners, while through ,u the whole length runs a considerable 1C stream of water. The contractors, >r Messrs. Shauly, have used in the live j, years they have been at work 275,000 ie pounds of nitro-glyceriue, 022,000 w pounds of common powder, -18,500 pounds of giant powder, and 3,500 >e pounds of dualin, making in all nearly 050,000 pounds of explosives. Fortythree persons have been killed in and ^ about the tunnel, of whom twenty-one met their deaths by premature explosions, four by explosions of nitroglycerine magazines, nine by falling down the central shaft, eight by rock p falliug from the roof and similar accio dents, and one by drowning. ie The Island of Cuba* f* The island of Cuba is the most fertile is u and the largest of tho West India e Islands. Columbus said it was the 1. rrnict liennfifiil lnml pvpr ever beheld. h Its length is about 750 miles, nuri its breadth about forty miles. The Island { of Great Britain is about 050 miles long, with an average breadth of about }*! 200 miles, which will give some idea of the comparative size of Cuba. Cuba contains some 110,000 square miles of territory, and is remarkable for its e" geneial salubrity of climate and great productiveness of sail. No land has ever suffered more from gross misIs government. It has been the prey Q alike of the old buccaneers and the j modern filibusters, not to speak of its own iuternal revolutions and fruitless ;n uprisings; in fact, during the present ,e century it has never known permanent tranquility. In spite of this, its natural 0. resources have been such that at presin eut its anuual aggregate sugar and )r coffee crops are about ?75,000,000, and its exports and imports together S130,000,000. The total population is about ?1,500,000. to It is said that in Colorado, last year, .>r 200,000 buffaloes were slaughtered for r. their hides. Starvation In Iowa. A Harrowing Rlory of Poverty anil Suffering. A citizen of Iowa has written to the Des Moines lleyistcr from Jefferson, ' that State, a sad story of tho hardships and sufferings of many of the settlers in the North-western portion of that ' State. He says: " I have jnst had a ' long interview with a former soldier comrade, now a homesteader in Osceola ; County, and from him learn something j concerning the present and future i wants of the hundreds of good people 1 making themselves homes in that and | other counties. It will be remembered \ that in 1872 good crops were raised in < that section, and that all had plenty 1 and to spare. In the spring of 1873, J every preparation was made for a great J crop of small grain, and it prospered J 11?*? ?*-i -t 1 ii-- ? l ?r | exceedingly unui uuuiu me ureu ui June, when the grasshoppers came, and the fields of waving grain were made desolate?entirely ruining the crop. A great many homesteaders at once left, realizing the coming of the present condition of matters. But hundreds of families had not the means at command to pay their expenses of travel, and hence were compelled to stay. A little corn was saved in some sections, but of very inferior quality. Plenty of hay was made, of the best grade, so the stock will at least have that much for support. But as to the people? My informant makes this statement: " Nearly every man is poor?very poor, and a great majority are ex-soldiers of the Union, with young families to support. When the grasshoppers took the crops, we did the best we could for the coming winter. We went to the lakes and caught barrels of fish, but wo did not have the means to properly care for them; so they spoiled. Stock was sacrificed to the sharks that infest our section, at the next to nothing of a price, and many of us have thus eaten up and worn out the horses and workcattle that had been our main stay. We could buy no fuel, and when I left, twisted hay and rank reed grass was the only fuel nine-tenths of the people were using. Much sickness prevails, brought on by a long abstinence from wholesome and nutritious food. One family I know of has the father down with the rheumatism, three out of six ( children were down with the measles, while the mother was about worn down i herself. Corn-meal, grated from frost- \ bitten nubbins, was the only food in ^ the house, if the sod and board shanty may be called such. The people bear 1 with each other, and mutually extend < aid as much as possible. One young I man from Jasper County, who happens . fn ho n frond shot lias vnliantlv taken upon himself the task of keeping all in- 1 valid families supplied with meat, wild ! game, and the day I left brought some . geese and ducks to the family I have : mentioned. But that will soon end, with cold weather. You want to know j what they need ? They need everything?fuel, clothing, and provisions. 1 The women and children are suffering ' greatly already for the want of cloth- 1 ing. I know of several women who died soon after giving birth to children 1 because they could not have even the J common luxury of a cup of tea, or any- 1 thing nutritions to aid thera in regain- ' ing strength, coupled with the want of proper bed covering. The most of the counties can extend no aid, for the reason that thieves have been running ' the affairs, and have stolen all, just as tbey did some years ago in Clay County. 1 Many families will leave oh foot,having sold their cattle or horses to keep them alive. Some general way of relieving those who must remain must be put in operation right away, else the first snap 1 of real cold weather will send many a ; good man or women or child to death? frozen, because they will be so weak and emaciated that they cannot stand the rigors of winter, even in its weakest appearance." The person who makes this statement I know to be reliable. It will be seen from this, then, that aid cannot be sent too soon, and that a general plan of relief must not be delayed longer than necessary. Indian Eloquence. The Pall Mall Gazette doubts if one I of Mr. Joaquin Miller's Imlian acquaintances gave utterance to sucli inflated rhetoric as " The whites were as strong as the ocean, the red men like sand, helpless, silent, run upon, and swallowI ed up." But this sort of grandiloquence is familiar to Americans who have lived on the frontier of an Indian country. When the lawyers puzzled old Red Jacket about intricate questions of law in relation to land claims, he walked out in front of the judge, and with a piece of chalk drew two concentric circles on the floor of the Court House. Passing his walking club slowly around the outer circle, lie said: " Within that bound is the white man's knowledge," and then describing the smaller one, he j said, " Within that bound is tho In- J dian's knowledge," and resting a moment on his club, ho wound up his argument hy saying, " And beyond those two bounds the Indian knows as much as the white man." Indian morality is often of a strange order. A certain officer of United States dragoons was robbed and mur-; dered many 3'onrs ago by the Potawata- ; mies. A trial at a civil tribunal failed j to bring the offenders to justice, though ! every circumstance pointed to their j chief, Dowagiac, as the principal offender. At last a bright 3 oung lawyer ' hit 011 a stratagem to get at the truth of j , the matter. Dowagiac was sitting gazing at the judge, counsel, and jury, : by turns, in the most stolid manner, j when Mr. W., of Detroit, sprang 111 an j excited manner to the chief, and asked j in a loml imperative voice, " Dowagiac, ; did you kill Capt. Jefferson ?" " Yes," j said the Indian solemnly, " Dowagiac ; did kill Capt. Jefferson, but Dowagiac ' won't lie." Indians can brag, too. Tipsy old Big I Kettle, in the streets of Buffalo, once ! defied the rabble in this way: "Ale's a i great tighter; me's a big Indian ; Lake | Erie my farm, big Buffalo creek my | father, Gen. Porter my aunt! White . man cau't tight Big Kettle ; too much I fifjuaw; too much darxml." To Find Water. Persons about to travel over great j deserts or along a sandy seashore might take a lesson from the native African as to the best method of obtaining a drink in puch places. The operation is de; scribed by Livingston as follows: "The ; women tie a bunch of grass to ono end of a reed about two feet long, and insert it in a hole dug as deep as the arm | will reach, then ram down the wet sand firmly around it. Applying the mouth to the free end of the reed, thej form a vacuum in the grass beneath, in which the water oollects, and in a short time it rises to the month." Daring Robbery in Kansas. Walter Grayson, a Creek Indian, y farmer and stock dealer, living near Parsons, Kansas, "was robbed of over ?30,000, mostly in gold and silver, by a Ic party of three white men. One of the lf robbers had been at Grayson's house H and about the premises for two or throe e, days, under the pretense of buying <1 horses. Ilis confederates arrived, well w mounted and heavily armed, and Gray- 01 son was immediately seized and a do- P1 ruand made for his money. He refused ei to deliver it, whereupon he was hung pi to a tree until nearly insensible. He il still refused to give up his money, and the hanging was repeated six or seven f}' times, and not until the robbers threatened to hang his wife did he reveal the place of its concealment. There were J several half-breed Indians about the a house, but most of them were confined I1 in upper rooms, and were all intimida- p ted to such a degree that they offered f< no resistance. The robbers were traced R to ft point a few miles south of the Canadian River, where they separated, n one going south and the other north. A nominal reward of 81,500 is offered for t( the apprehension of the robbers, which d ?um would doubtless be greatly increased if the men were captured nud the money recovered. Grayson is an old man, nearly sixty-five, ftnd is now f< lying very sick from the effects of his 11 maltreatment. Since the withdrawal of u the United States Marshals from the Indian Territory the number of murlers are largely on the increase. The i lgents of the various tribes say that it pi is absolutely necessary that Congress al should interfere and give the civilized Indians a government that will protect c; life and property. The assassinations ui in the Territory averaged twenty per c< month during the past summer, and there has not been one execution under the Indian laws. The Creek Council \v" idjourned without doing anything ex- n cepting to pass a law forbidding any m Indian to rent to or permit any white person to occupy any building on the territory of the Creek nation. They ^ refused to allow the white railroad em- Hi ployoes and others to build a house for tl school and church purposes at Muskajee. T The Centennial Buildings. rc al The Philadelphia Press says that the c 'area of ground appropriated at Fairmount Park for the Centennial Exposition is 450 acres, and is bounded by the 0 Schuylkill river on the east, Girard w ivenue on the southeast, Elm avenue r< in the south,and Fifty-second street on ai die west?so that Girard avenue, when S( graded and paved, as is contemplated, trill be the main approach to the buildings. Elm avenue and Fortieth and Forty-first street will also lead to the "j Park, and steps have been taken by a] Councils looking to the improvement ci af these thoroughfares, in order that hi they may be made available before the ~ opening of the Exhibition. The ground plans, as approved by the Commission, B provides for the erection of a machinery linll, agricultural hall, conservatory, art gallery, and the main Exposition building. All of these will bo so located as to be within easy reach of each other, and upon the most beautiful portion of n the park. The grand pavilion, or main ? Exposition building, will have a front- " age of 2,075 feet on Elm avenue, or, in other words, will extend from Fortytirst street, on the east, to Belmont ti avenue, and will have a depth of 1,000 feet. Immediately north, and near to the Lansdowne drive, it is designed to ^ erect the art gallery. West of tho Ex- ~ position will be the'machinery and agricultural halls?the former to be 2,275 f( feet long, and the latter 1,420 feet. These are to be conducted with the main buildings by a covered passage- w way, and will also bo upon Elm b avenue. A better ideaof the immensity o of the work to be performed and of the ? extent of tho ground to bo occupied will he had when it is stated that the grand pavilion will coverau area of 3G.5 j acres, which can be increased to 41 ~ acres. Machinery Hall will occupy 9.5 acres, and Agricultural Hall 4.5 acres." c Repeal of tiie Bankruptcy Law.? a Washington correspondents state that JJ a strong pressure will be brought to s bear at the opening of Congress for the 1 repeal of some sections, if not tho 1 wholo of tho Bankruptcy law. Last ?> February the House of Representatives, [ without much discussion or considera- ' tion, passed a bill to repeal the law. 1 Tf tl'hk then lnte in the kpmhioh ; there I was not time to bring the nintter fully before the people, and the Senate was not disposed to sanction such hasty legislation. 11 A Beautiful Woman.?The pereeptivo faculty of women is usually keener than the same phrenological organ in men. Woman knows that beauty rather than gonitis is worshipped by the sterner sex. A man may talk with his lips of the latter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the woman knows that he is thinking of the former in his heart. All women have an innate desire to please their beaux. They are fond of admiration, hence one of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand secret of female beauty is health?the secret of health is the power to eat, digest and assimilate a proper <|uantity cf whole- \ some food.

American .Manufacturers at Vienna. ] Tho well-known Mason A Hamlin Otgan J Company have received honors at Vienna. At ] the Exposition they wero awarded the highest medal for the lied itiHtrnmeiitH of thin class in tho world, and the Industrial Society of Austria ' has awarded them its (irand Medal and Diploma of Honor for the extraordinary excellence of their production*. Thin distinction has never been conferred on more than five Americans. No other American manufacturer of cabinet or parlor organs has ever succeeded in obtaining any award in competition with European makers. This is the second time the Mason A Hamlin Organ Company have come out ahead in such comparisons, as they took the first medal in Paris in 1807. This company can now produce on an average one Cabinet Organ every fifteen minutes of working time, or about 10,000 per annum.?AVic York World.
