DEAR Gazn'r'rai—Where are you? We
cannot doubt that you started westward on
time and that you have done the best you
could to reach us with~ your welcome mes-
sages. ’W e suppose you have been compelled
_ to yield and submitto a forced delay and will
put in an appearance as soon as you can.
Really we feel it quite a deprivation to have
letters and papers held back for ten days
beyOnd their time. It is harder, however,
to accept heavy losses to property and im-
minent danger to life. This stoppage of
trans-continental travel and business for so
many days in succession will ‘no doubt
deepen the conviction or the jneccs'sity for
the completion of the Texas Pacific Rail
Road. To say nothing of the losses and in-.
convenience of such a delay as the one just.

nation of circumstancesfas might, in the
repetition of such a disaster, imperil the
very safety of the nation. The old motto,
“ inrewarned, forearmed,” is applicable.
Some one has said that Constantinople is
the most cosmopolitan city in the ”world.
Now, while we will not venture to compare
our youthful city with that of the ancient
East, we can justly pride ourselves in some
respects upon our cosmopolitan ways. All
the leading nationalities are well represent-
ed here, and our various interests are sus-
tained and advanced by appliances and ef-
forts that ‘are novel ind diverSified. In

AN EQUALITY on THE Snxns AT ANN An-
Bon..—An alumnus of Ann Arbor writes to
the Chicago Ilmes as follows: The equality
of the Women in the university is perhaps
the most noticeable feature to the returning
graduate. They are as perfectly free from
surveillance and restraint as their brothers.
The university has no dormitories or com
mons, and students room and board in
private houses about the city. One young
lady occupies the apartments next to mine,
and her ways of doing things are in such
contrast with those of the ladies who were
first to avail themselves of the privileges of
the university as to keep'me in a state of
chronic wonder. Only three or four years
ago, whenwc called upon our lady class-
mates, instead of disregarding the barrier
of the front door and going directly to their
rooms, as was the casein calling upon the
boys, we rang the hell, were ushered into
the parlor, and sent up our cards, and there
awaited their coming. Things are different
how. When a gentleman calls upon my
friend next door, he is not more formal
than in seeking her brother across the hall.
He walks at once to her room and raps.
And she doesn’t consume several minutes in
rushing to her bedroom, consulting her mir-

a. big bundle of fagots on his back. There
goes another leading a sorry looking mule,
across wh 56 back are strapped two large
bundles of fagots, one on either side. And
still anolh, r riding a mule and followed by
three or four dogs, drives before him as
many little jackasses, that seem to know
just 'where to go,'each with his load of wood
hanging at his sides. A Mexican from
across the border comes with his load on
wheels, urging before him with his heavy
whip two scrawny mules or worn out mus-
tangs. In marked contrast with this. last.
on i-fit, a large, neatl y painted wagon, drawn
by four or six spirited horses, appears on
the scene. It brings two cords of oak wood
from the mountain regions forty or fifty
miles away. At the season when farmers
are moving wheat, it is not unusual 'to see
two lon‘g wagons joined togetherdrawn by
six span of mules, a long ‘tean'i truly for one
man. The so called Arizonachhooner, is a
wagon of immense proportions, with a body
liken corn- crib. A powerful team is requir-
ed to move it. Seen at a distance it looks
like an ark on wheels. Occasionally a eu-
i'itlsily of a rt is who seen on the street.
There is 110811 particle of iron about it. It
is made wholly of wood and raw hide. The
wheels are sections sawed from a large oak
log. The oxen are white, with horns so
large and long you would be tempted to say
they forgot to stop growing. To complete
the novelty of the scene, the yoke is a
straight beam tied to the horns of the oxen,
' and the cart tongue is tied to this.
Now do not think that our place can
show of the equine gems only mules and
mustangs, and in the line of vehicles only
Indian carts and lumber wagons. Horses
are to be seen here any day, that would ex-
cite the cupidity of the Norwalk fanciers of
fast nags, and there are turnouts that would
make a good appearance on Fifth Avenue
or Central Park. '

ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN—Encour-
agement works wonders! with almost any-
body, no matter what his occupation in ,life
may be. A boy likes to be encouraged: so
does a girl ;a man likes it ; also a woman;
nd even the old grandfather and grand-
mother have a relish for it. Some parents
often make a mistake in not giving their
children credit when they do a thing well,
and some unintentionally let a lesson that
has . been studied very hard, or a piece of
work that has been well done, by a boy or”
girl, pass by without the least notice. This
discouragesachild, and has a bad» efl‘ect
otherwise. Encouragement puts new life
in a child, especially if‘it be bestowed by a
parent. Yet there are people who; though
anxious to have their children do well, are
continually, and in a dispiriting way, tell-
ing them that they shouldn’t do so and so,
and that that is wrong, and, the other is
wrong, without ever having a little friendly
talk with them, and giving them good ad-
vice, and encouraginglhem when they do
right. Some parents also make a mistake
in leaving the education of their children
wholly to the schools. siey think that if
they send their children school and pay
their way, they—the parents—are doing
their part, and the children should do theirs.
This may work very well with. good boys,
but with the careless, the thoughtless, and
the indifferent it does not.

water. Even many physicians direct the
us see what is the philosophy of such treat-
ment. If there is a wound from which the
blood flows the application of cold water is
useful; it reduces the flow of blood, keeps
down the heat (fever,) which always fol-.
lows the contusion, and restores the loss of
balance caused by the wound.
The same process does not follow where
the skin is unbroken and there is no loss of
blood. In this case the effect of thdcold
application is to reduce the circulation and
to coagulate the blood under the skin. This
clot of blood becomes dark in a. few hours.
as coagulated blood always does; then
grows green and yellow, and this in the nat-
ural effect of the application of cold.
What should be done? As soon- ns.the
bruise is made, apply hot water at once.
The heat and moisture liquifies the blood
and sends it along its proper channel. The
blood hds no time to coagulate; hence no
discoloration, and the bruise heals.
The same philosophy governs the habit
of bathing. The popular notion is that
bathing in cold water invigoratee, but it is
incorrect. Cold, applied in any manner is
a sedative. Cold baths, followed by friction.
produce activity of the circulation, but it. is
produced by the friction and not b the
cold. On the contrary, the cold chec 9 ac-
tivity, and the loss thereby sustainedmust
first be made up, and then the friction con-
tinued until the reaction takes place; where-
as, if warm or tepid water were used, less
friction would 'be required, and'consequentj
ly there would be less excess.
_ The disease denominated as a cold is only
the result of this a plicntion of cold in a
degree of excess. hen the system is in a
heated condition, a sudden application of
cold checks the natural functionn,especial-
ly of the skin and mucus menibranespind we
have a “cold ” These colds, while they
prevail most in cold weather, occur also in
extreme! hot weather by the same natural
laws. hen the system is overheated a
slight fall of temperature checks the func
tions as above described and a “ colrl" en-
sues. It is by understanding a few simple
physiological laws like these, and acting
from philosophical deductions therefrom,
that persons can at all times uard, to a,
greater orzless degree, against co ds, and the;

selves upon thc system as‘ the result of colds.

her to go to New York for instruction,where
they would be responsible for all necessary

Ernani, soon got paying employment in

engagement to sing in Dr. Chapin’s church.
From there she was sent to Europe by kind
friends,h’aving first been able to pay all debts
incurred by her first distinguished patrons,
and once here in this musical city she
fortunately attracted the attention of the
Baroness Rothschild, who sent for her,
and, seeing and hearing for herself what
there was in her. begged her to draw upon

No'runvo Lin Pnnsnvnnaxcn.—A miss
sionary of the American Sunday School
attempts, succeeded in organizing a promis-
ing Sunday school where every one said it
was useless to make the effort ; and his com-
ment is, “ Suchavictory is better than a
dozen easy conquests."
At another place, a woman in a subscrip-
tion school, said, “I’ll sign for four." Thank
God our schools are free! A gentleman said,
“ You don’t know what a blessing you have
bestowed on these people in giving them
something better to do on Sundays than to
fish and hunt. I am not a Christian, but I
will help your Sunday school all 1 can.”
A man in whose neighborhood the mis-
sionary had organized a school said,“ You
must come again. We’ve some wild fellows,
and you’ve the best hold on them.”
Alas for tho evils of sectism ! A gentleman
said to the missionary,“ You can’t start a
school here.” It was a place with two
churches, but no Sunday school. The diffi-
culty had been, one party did not want to
join the other in a Union school,yet neither
was able to carry on a school alone. It was
hard work to establish the Union school,
but the God of peace and love blessed the
effort with success.
The union principl. everywhere receiv:
ed with great favor by the common people.
In many neighborhoods visited by the mis-
sionary of the American Sunday school

Since Mary Morgan sent to me
This musty, musky letter. '
A pretty hand (she couldn’t spell),
And ’twas, as I rememberwell,
Apretly hand that wrote it;
How calmly now I view it all,
As memory backward ranges-—
The talks, the walks, that I recall,
And then—the postal‘changes!
How well I loved her I can guess

And yet it died—0f slow decline ——
