A former chief-inspector of the Or leans and Rouen Railway, says the Paris Debat*, has found the means of putting in constant communication, by means of electricity, trains while in motion, with the stations, and also trains with each other while traveling in the same direction on the same line, or in opposite directions on different ones, without even slackening their speed. The apparatus for conveying the signals will be placed in the guard’s van, and consequently will not be influenced by atomy weather or log. A Century of Cold Weather. Oar winters vary much in severity, says a New York paper. In 1766, the season was so mild that the navigation of the Hndson river remained open the whole year. During that year Colonel Dunbar’s regiment reached Albany by water. The winters of 1740-41, 1764-66, 1770- 80, and 1820-21, formed the four inost severe in one hundred years, and the only ones during which the North river could be crossed on the solid ice. On the 25th of January, 1821, the thermom eter fell to seven degrees below zero, and lower than any former fall recorded. During January, 1795, it fell to six be low zero. Mr. James Bogart—in his day an old Knickerbocker—related that when he was a boy, he and his nncle were the first persons ever known to cross the East river on the ice at or near Hell Gate. Sunday, January 4th, 1835, was the * coldest day known at Albany for the ast half century.” In General Van Rensselaer’s mansion, “ The Patroon’s,” the mercury fell to thirty-two degrees below zero. At his son’s, at half-past seven a. m., it stood at thirty-two de grees. This was a most severe day. At Boston the mercury stood fifteen de grees below zero; at Portsmouth at twenty; at New Haven it was twenty- three ; at Hartford twenty-five; at Goshen ^N. Y.) thirty-two; at Newark (N. J) seven, and at Philadelphia three below zero. The “ cold winter ” emphatically was 1779-80. Two immense cakes of ice closed up the North river from Paulus Hook (Jersey City) to Cortlandt street dock, and daily hundreds of pedestri ans crossed over. This was then the severest season on record in this region. Some years ago the remarkable Mr. Leycraft, of Williamsburg, was asked if leremembered it. “Remember it?” le replied, “that I do, for an aunt of mine dying in Maiden Lane, her body had to remain at her residence unburied two weeks, in consequence of the deep and impassable snow. Neighbors for days could only visit each other’s houses by narrow lanes cut through the con gealed barrier. There was great suffer ing for fuel, and old chairs, tables, and other furniture were cut up and used in the place of firewood.” At that time it mnst be remembered, there were no ranges or stoves, and fire-places took their places in dwellings and churches. But they^were as large again as those now used, and very comfortable with plenty of well-seasoned wood. Dr. Franklin first invented the “open stove” called after himself; next came the more economical “ten plate” stove. In that severe winter the poor were not the only sufferers, and it was not unusual for two or three families of- good circumstances to crowd together for the benefit of one fire. No More Whisky at the Capitol. According to a Washington cerres- pondent, there will be no more “cold tea ” served up in either the Senate or House restaurant. For many years, notwithstanding the temperance folks have been very active in their opposi tion, whisky has been sold in both the Senate and the House restaurants, under the name of “ cold tea.” It has always been served to those calling for it in tea-cups, and unless a person was very observing he never would be able to tell whether cold tea or liquor was furnished. Occasionally, however, the difference would be noticed, when the customer, being unable to take his liquor straight, would ask for a little hot water to wash it down. Speaker Randall, in his re marks on the subject recently, gave everybody to understand that, as far as the Honse restaurants are concerned, there would be no more winking over whisky guzzling, whether under the name of cold tea or otherwise. Vice- President Wheeler has taken a similar stand on the other side of the capitol, thus effectually, for the time at least, putting an end to the whisky traffic in the capitol building. A Terrible Fight in Kentucky. A New York World correspondent, in an Article giving an account of the nn- inerms bloody quarrels of a Kentucky family, tells the following story of the desperate fight one of them recently had with an opponent: William Kennedy came to a violent death alter one of the most tremendous fights on record. He was clerk in a store, and getting into an altercation with one Samuel Conn, a splendid athlete of over six feet in height and broad-shouldered, fired on him from be hind the counter, the ball from a big navy revolver, entering Conn’s abdomen and going entirely-through the body. The shock knocked him down, but he recovered his footing, and received two more balls almost in the same spot each discharge felling him like an ox struck by the butcher. After the third shot Kennedy came round the counter with his bowie to “ finish ” him, but Conn with a last effort raised himself and sent a bullet ranging up through his body, sending him down upon the floor with a fatal wound. “Conn then got up, walked out of the store and lay down under a tree. While there Ed. Ken nedy came to tell him if he thought he would not die he would kill him himself. Conn answered that he might blaze away as quick as he wanted, but he was not going to die while Kennedy lived. He complained of darkness coming on and called for whisky. Having,taken some, he revived and asked how Ken nedy was. He was told that he could not live. A spring wagon was then brought to take him to the house of his brother-in-law. He got into it without assistance, was carried a mile over a dirt road, and got out of the wagon with out assistance. While lying on the bed he was informed that Kennedy was dead. He arose, walked out behind the house, walked back into the house, and lay down on the bed, where he died a mo ment afterwards.” He had kept his word not to die while Kennedy lived ! A Much Wounded Man. Among the lodgers at rhe station honse lad night was William Brown, a native of Mississippi, who served in the con federate army and bears marks of four severe wounds. He was in the Second Mississippi regiment at the battle of Shiloh, and a bullet passed through his face, from the left te the right side, breaking the jaw bone in three places. On the right side of the face two of the breaks did not knit, and a piece of tbe jaw, with two teeth, can bo moved around at will, presenting quite a re markable case. He also lost one of his little fingers, was shot in the calf of one leg, and has a deep sabre cut in one side of his body. He is a good-natured little fellow, standing five feet one inch in height, and is thirty-five years old. This is his first visit North, and he thinks the weather pretty cold. He is on his way to Boston to visit his brother, but in tends to return South again in a few days.— Worcester (A/a**.) Spy. A Cool Proceeding. Seabrooke Purdy, a young man of good family, but dissipated habits, who is charged with having stolen, with the aid of other persons, 830,000 worth of furniture stored in his warehouse, in New York, made a confession admitting his offence. After coolly describing the way he arranged the first sale of the property, he went on to tell how, on a second visit to the storehouse, he and his associates broke open tbe trunks and boxes in which the valuable goods were packed. He said : “ We found some elegant glass decanters, with solid silver handles ; these were fastened by a screw around the neck of the decanters, and were easily detached, but the silver on other articles of glassware could not bo so easily obtained, so we just shivered the goblets with a screw-driver, and thus obtained the silver. ‘Boys,’ said I, 1 this is murder, but we’re in for it now,’ and so went on with our work.” An Immense Museum. Four entire blocks, bounded by Eighth and Ninth avenues and Seventy- seventh and Eighty-first streets, New York, are devoted to the new American Museum of Natural History, according to the complete plan for the structure. This great enterprise will not, however, be finished for many years. The portion which is now completed is a fonr-story building, with a double attic. It is of brick, about two hundred feet long, and strictly fire-proof. The curiosities in this building have been recently trans ferred from the arsenal in Central Park, and fill it entirely, making a fine dis play. These are directly or indirectly* ^■the gifts of'private individuals. Moisteniug Hot Air in Rooms. An effective contrivance has been de vised for overcoming the dryness of the air in heated rooms. It is called an “air moistener,” and is of additional service by arresting the dust that comes in through hot-air flues. The device con sists of a series of pans set in a frame. Each pan has an outlet tube which rises from the bottom to a height less than that of the sides of the pan. Conse quently, water poured into the top pan overflows through the outlet tube and fills the pan below it, and so on, through the series. At the top of the frame there is a chamber of just sufficient ca pacity to hold water enough to fill all the pans; this is filled first; then its outlet-valve is opened, the pans fill, and the contrivance is ready for operation. The frame is to be hooked on in front of hot-air registers or set on top of a stove or furnace. Air thus moistened is very pleasant to breathe, and must doubtless prove far less irritating to the lungs and throat than ordinary furnace-heated air. The quantity of water evaporated is large, and the apparatus needs to be filled at least once a day ; but where it is inserted in cellar furnaces the filling can be made automatic by connection with the water supply. The Hum of Industry. Two men and a boy were walking along John R. street yesterday, when one of them—the father of the boy— said : “ How pleasant to my ears is this bum of industry!” “Soit is to mine,” replied the other, and when the boy got a chance he asked: “ Father, did you mean that pound ing back there ?” “ Yes, my son,” was the answer. That evening as the father was seated in his evening chair, he heard an awful pounding in the kitchen, and rushed in to see his son belaboring a chair with a hammer. * ‘ What on earth does this mean ?” he shrieked at the lad. “The hum of industry, father.” was the pleasant reply. The boy was hummed out o’ that so fast that it was over an hour before he could compose himself to softly inquire of his inner consciousness : “ Was father lying to that man, or is night a bad time for the hum of industry ?”—Detroit Free Pres*. .Moths. A correspondent of Nature describes some interesting experiments upon moths to test their sense of smell and hearing. Certain moths when captured feign death. While they are thus motionless, if a sharp sound be made such as is produced by striking a piece of glass, they will be suddenly roused and will attempt to fly. On the other hand, a strong solution of ammonia, un corked close to moths, has no effect in driving them away ; they do not seem to smell it, and only move away from the fumes slowly when oppressed by them. The latter experiment must occasion surprise, because it was be lieved that moths possessed an un usually effective sense of smell, since the males of certain species will come I from great distances to visit a female kept in captivity, and it has been hitherto supposed that they were guided in their quest by the olfactory sense. Twe Humble Heroes. France reckons two braves more. A fireman at Tarbes rushed among the blazing ruins of a house to save his cap tain and a clergyman, who were buried beneath a floor in endeavoring to rescue the inmates. The fireman remained, trying to extricate the captain, but without avail, till the flesh peeled off his hands and face. He has died from his wounds, has been buried at the na tion’s expense, and for a month his name will be read out first on the rollcall of every regiment in the army. Jean Plantier is a pointsman, and a few months ago, in endeavoring to close the gates of a crossing, he was struck down by a goods train and his arm amputated. Not a soul was within reach and, aware that an express train was due, he tied up the bleeding stump and remained at his post of duty till a station master, informed by tbe engine driver that some accident had occurred, picked up the arm from the rail and succored the hero. Dnrfn^Nihe uproar following the ap pearance <$Y Darwin, clad in his scarlet doctor’s gown,, at Cambridge University recently, a staged rngjokey was lowered ‘““the legend dieom tl Eastern and Middle States One hundred failures and assignments were reported in New York in December, the aggre gate liabilities of which were nearly $8,000,000. Miss Lizzie Davis, aged nineteen, was stabbed knd.instantly killed in her borne in Ferndale, Pa., by Jobn Haddock, aged twenty-one, who then proceeded to his bouse, a few doors off, and shot himself through the heart. Jealonsy is believed to have led to the double tragedy. Thomas 8. Lambert, ex-president cf tbe American Popular Life Insurance Company of New York, recently found guilty of perjurv in swearing to false statements of the company’s condition, was sentenced to five years’ im prisonment at bard labor in the State prison. A fire at Salem, N. J., destroyed a number of buildings in the business part of the place, doing damage to the extent of about $10,000. Two excise bills and a New York city charter amendment have been introduced in the New York Legislature. At a meeting of the directors of the Bull’s Hoad Bank, of New York, it was resolved to wind up the affairs of the institution. Governor Conner was inaugurated at Augus ta, Me., and Governor Rice at Boston, Mass. Four of the former managers of the Charter Oak Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., have been indicted for conspiring to de fraud the policy holders, as alleged in the complaint The Woburn Five Cent Savings Bank, of Woburn, Mass., has been enjoined from doing further bnsiness ; and the Kollinsford Savings Bank, of Salmon Falls, N. H., has given notice that it will pay up depositors as fast as possible and retire from business. A fire in Harrisburg, Pa., destroyed the malt house of B. M. Greider <fc Co., causing a loss of $70,000, on which there is $55,300 insurance ; and a Are in Franklin, Pa., burned down Bailey’s block, causing a loss estimated at $30,- 000, on which there is a partial insurance. Several vessels were wrecked and many lives were lost by a severe storm of wind and snow along the Atlantic coast in the vicinity of Cape Cod. The census of New York State; just pub lished, gives the total population at 4,098,- 958. Native born, 3,503,300 ; foreign, 1,195,- 658 ; colored, 158,121. Of the foreign element 517,377 came from Ireland ; 367,351 from Ger many and 119,090 from England. The total number of voters in the State reaches 1,141,- 462, of whom 747,230 are natives and 394,182 foreign born. The committee of New York aldermen ap pointed to investigate the ring frauds have made their report, after taking a vast amount of testimony, including that of Tweed. The report says that the evidence brought to light the fact that frauds had been committed upon the city to tho amount of thirty millions of dollars,' of which enormous sum only $876,000 had been recovered. The report says the evidet ce shows that officials and represen tatives of all i>o!itical parties were engaged in these gigantic robberies; and the committee are of opinion that they have brought suf ficient evidence !o light to enable the city successfully to defend actions pending against it for $2,000,000. At a meeting of the New York board of aider- men a resolution to recommend the attorney- general and corporation counsel to release Wm. M. Tweed from imprisonment after secur ing his property for the city and taking proper means to obtain his future testimony, was car ried by a vote of thirteen to seven. The disasters along the Atlantic coast during the recent heavy storm were numerous. A large number of vessels were driven ashore. The steamer Old Colony, running between New York and Fall River, was disabled by an accident to her machinery and drifted for eleven hours at the mercy of a high sea, but was eventually towed into Newport harbor by a wrecking com pany’s steamer. The bank commissioner of Connecticut has restrained the Thompsonville Savings Bank from doing further business until an examina tion into its couditior. can be made. A large fire broke out in a mine at Summit Hill. Pa., and burned fiercely for a long time, causing a loss of over $50,000. And the de struction of a breaker at Shenandoah, Pa., be longing to the Reading Coal and Iron Com pany, ee used a loss of $100,000. Western and Southern States. Recent'Western failures : Joseph H. Helmer, of Chicago, real estate and loan broker, with about $150,000 liabilities; Jacob Bunn, of Springfield, 111., banker, with about $800,000 liabilities, and Hickox <C Spears, of San Fran cisco, bankers, with liabilities unknown. , Seven men were instantly killed by tnc explosion of two tons of nitroglycerine that were about to be removed to a railroad car near Negaunee, Mich. The force of the explosion was so terrific that it was felt distinctly three miles away ; a locomotive was thrown fifty feet into the air and landed a shapeless wreck, and of tbe seven men killed three were blown int^^.thousand fragments. Awagon containing Mrs. Goodloo and four children was backed by a frightened team off a bridge over the O.iin river, near Nashville, Tenn., and all the children were drowned. Several counties in Virginia were visited recently by an earthquake shock, accompanied by a roaring sound. The legislature of Mar viand organized and listened to tne reading of Governor Carroll's message. Tho State Savings Bank of Indianapolis, Ind., has gone into liquidation. The assets are stated to be sufficient to cover all liabilities. The wholesale grocery firm of Samuel Bliss & Co., Chicago, has failed, its liabilities being $130,600. Joseph Bowfield, Chicago’s corpor ation council, has become a banki upt, his un secured debts amounting to $220,000. In Cincinnati David Gibson, liquor merchant, Renner & Co., candy manufacturers, and Jacob Benninger, pork packer, have failed recently, with liabilities aggregating several hundred thousand dollars. The newly discovered oil wells in the Black Hills are beginning to attract attention, and many parties are locating claims. Hon. Richard M. Pierson, chief justice of tho supreme court of North Carolina, died at Winstqn, aged seventy-three. Murray & Nelson's drug manufactory iu Chicago was burned. Loss, $20,000 ; insur ance, about $12,000. From Washington. Upon representations of Congressmen Schleicher and Mills, of Texas, the President has ordered that a commission of three—two officers of the army and a eitizon of Texas— investigate the attack on State troops at El Paso, alleged to have been made by parlies from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. In December ihe public debt was reduced $71,623.15. There was a falling off of $448,000 in tho internal revenue reevipts during December. There will l»e a public sale soon of goods unclaimed and left over from the Centennial exhibition. The articles left behind by exhibi tors are numerous, and some of them valuable. The excess of imports over exports in the United S!a*es during the eleven months ended November 30. last, amounts to $121,00 ),000. A report will bo made by the House military committee in favor of reducing tho staff of the army. Mrs. Hayes’s first reception at the White House was attended by the diplomatic corps, trmy and navy officers and many ladies. Foreign Nows. General Gourko defeated the Turks at Tcs- kesan, and they retreated to Sophia. Polledo, Riondo A* Co., of Cuba, have failed for $2,000,000 gold. General Grant has arrived at Alexandria, Egypt. General Marmora, the distinguished Italian soldier and statesman, fied in Florence, aged seventy-four. The steamer \tacama, belonging to the Pa cific Steam Navigation Company, while on a voyage from Valparaiso to Callaa. was wrecked on" the coast of Chili, and of the crew and passengers, it is estimated, only twenty-nine were saved, tho number lost being 101. A cab broke through the ice at Halifax. N. S.. amt three young ladies and tba driver were drowned. A Bear-Chase on the Water. This is a good country for poor peo- l pie ; they can raise anything they plant, and get all the fish they want to eat. The bears have been rather trouble some this fall. They have taken some pigs away, and have tried to take some more; there have been several bears killed. Receutly two boys while cross ing Manitoulin lake in a sail-boat spied a bear also crossing the hike, or rather trying to do so. They overtook it, and having no gun to shoot, seized their oars, and after a hard battle killed him, and by the help of a woman got him into the boat and took their prize home. The bear was fat, and after he was dressed weighed two hundred au'd fifty pounds. The woman with the boys tried all she could to persuade them to leave the bear alone, but they would not heed her, but pelted away at him till they ended his career. The lake was six miles wide where the bear tried to swim Island* tetter to Shopping on the Sea. People after a long sea-voyage are naturally eager for fresh frait. A lady correspondent of the Advance, who was a passenger on one of the Pacific mail steamships, informs us how her desire was gratified while the vessel lay at an chor five miles off the little Mexican coast town of Mazatlan. The natives came out in boats, bringing tempting supplies of the prodnoe of the country. Here were huge clusters of bananas, plucked freshly from the .tail palms which we could see quite plainly on the land,—of most exquisite flavor ; pine apples, such as can only be ripened un der a warm, mellow, tropical sun ; limes of pleasant acidity, suggestive of cool lemonade ; oranges, too large to hold comfortably in your hand, nnless it be a large one, and cocoanuts, melons and mangoes in abundance. That is what the merchants offered us. Now how did we buy them ? The distance between us was about the same that it would be if we had been standing at the upper window oi an ordinary two-storied house, and the boatman on the ground, and there was such a clamor of voices of men and women calling their wares and the prices, that it was quite deafening at first. But when trade had fairly begun, it was really quite easy and pleasant, and certainly it was a novel way of doing shopping. Suppose we wished some bananas. We look about until we find a man who has fine ripe ones, attract his attention, as you would that of a horse- car driver, and call out “ Bananas— here ;” and he answers, in a queer Mexi can fashion, “ Ba-nan-a, jres.” “ How much ?” “One bunch—fifteen cents.” “ You send them up.” Then he puts his fruit in a light wicker basket, or twine bag, to the han dle of which a loner rope is attached, and throws one end of the rope to us. If we are skillful enough, we may catch it the first time, but probably uot, for the distance is considerable, and it often be comes quite exciting to watch the attempts of purchasers to get their goods. One young lady of our party nearly fell overboard when reaching for the rope. But when it is once secured, we gently draw up the bag or basket, take out the fruit and put in the money, and toss it down into tho boat quite carefully, lest the money should be lost. Now we may like to get some of the curious necklaces which the women, have to sell. If so, we shall do well to wait until it is nearly time for the steamer to leave, as prices diminish rapidly iu proportion to the time for making sales. Locomotion on Snowshoes. To walk well on deep snow, to follow the dogs, to run down the moose, there is nothing like snowshoes, says a corre spondent in British America. These are composed of a light wooden frame, about four feet in length, tapering from a width of about fifteen inches at the centre to points at either end, the toes being turned up so as to prevent trip ping. Over this frame a netting of deer-skin sinews or threads is stretched for the foot of the runner to rest upon. The object of this appliance is by a thin network to distribute the weight of the wearer over so large a surface of snow as will prevent him from sinking. The credit of the invention is due to the In dians, and, like that of the canoe and other Indian instruments, it is so per fectly suited to the object in view as not to be susceptible of improvement by the whites. On snowshoes an Indian or half-breed will travel thirty, forty and sometimes even fifty miles in twenty- four hours. It is the common and in deed the only available mode of foot- travel away from the public highways in winter. [From the Ohio Farmer.) Treatment ot Spavin In Ilorsen. Editor of Ohio Faumf.r :—The inquiry is often made in our agricultural and family journals concerning a remedy for spavin. Dr. J. B. Kendall, of Enosburgh Falls, Vt.; some time since, in treating a horse for spavin in tho usual manner by blistering, finding that the application produced so much soreness and pain and apparently no good, determined to investigate the matter in order to find a remedy, if possible, that would produce the desired effect in a more rational and human manner. This result he finally succeeded in accom plishing. and the “ Kendall’s Spavin Cure,” as it is called, is proving all that could i cason- ably have been expected of it. I have interest ed myself particularly in the matter in order to get at the facts, and find that the remedy will effectually remove spavin and splint in from five to six weeks time, causing no blister ing or soreness and leaving no callous or scar to indicate where the difficulty existed. This is truly an important discovery in medi cal seieuco, and the ease with which it can be applied and the absence of suffering to the animal treated will commend the remedy to the attention of all. E. R. Towle West Berkshire, Vt. We a**c informed that the “ Kendall’s Spavin Cure” can now be had throughout the country at tho stores. Circulars will he sent to all send ing their address, which give test monials of its beneficial effects on h rses, by removing the enlargements of all kinds, without blister- in /, and also working to perfection on man. Tlie following references are given for the hone tit of any desiring to investigate th- effects of " Kendall Spavin Cure Rev. O. S. Bas- fi.rd, pastor M. E. Church, Hyde Bark, Vt.; Charles A. Currier, special agent for the Mas sachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Boston, Mass.; Joseph Baker,' agent for the same Society, East Boston, Mass.: rt. W.

Every year hundreds of these sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats of Florida or the dry atmosphere of Colorado, for health—and only find a grave. The inflnence of the atmos phere—the only remedial agent than either' Florida or Colorado can afford the censnmptiye —is at best only palliative. The cure of cqfn- sumption depends upon two essential condi tions : 1st, tho arrest of the abnormal breaking down of the tissues, which prevents emr.ciation and 2nd, the restoration of healthy nutrition, in order to stop the formation of tuberculous matter. Fulfill these conditions, and consump tion is as curable as fever. To fnliill these conditions the required remedy must increase ths appetite, favor the assimilation of food, and enrich the blood, thus retarding the de velopment of tubercles. To accomplish this a more powerful alterative than Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has never been dis covered. At the same time it soothes the irri tation of the nervous system produced by violent coughing, which in its turn so often leads to more serious results. Tho use of " ex pectorants” in consumption is absolutely sui cidal. For while removing the tilbereles already formed, they produce yet more serious results by inflaming and destroying the sound and healthy tissues. Consumption requires a remedy that will soothe while it relieves; harsh medicines but add fuel to the flame that already threatens to consume the system. The Golden Medical Discovery fulfills these con ditions, and has been pronounced the best remedy yet discovered to allay and arrest con sumption. :p«mlnr The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, and of the bile which the use of Hostet- ter’s Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health when the system is disordered. Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach because tho gastric fluid is deficient, supera bundant or vitiated ; the liver becomes con gested and the bowels constipated because the supply of bile is inadequate or misdirected. Tue Bitters rectifies all this, and removes every ill consequence of non-assimilation and bilious irregularity. Futhermore, it stimu lates the action of the kidneys, by which im- E urities are, so to speak, strained from the lood, and any tendency in the urinary or gans to grow sluggish and disordered is coun teracted. Whether it be used as a means of regulating gastric or bilious secretion, and re lieving the overloaded bowels, or to promote complete and therefore healthful, urination, Hostettor’s Bitters may l e relied upon with confidence to accomplish the end iu view, A Good Idex.—Free consultation by an ex perienced and successful physician may seem au innovation, but it is only keeping with the hard times.
