H* tionta subject "to other nervous lis* eases. The second factor in this diBar ease is heat following cold. The heat . of hot climates does not seem to aot as y a cause, but the heat of temperate a ee climates following the cold weather. a The disease is found only in that belt e s? where there are extremes of temperaa? ture. Third?"Various exoiting causes, j w~ over twenty or more in "number, snob as perfume of flowers, dust, in-door and . 48 out-door, fresh hay, old hay, bright | if? sunlight, gaslight, close oonfined air, E smoke, cinders, hulking of oorn, Roman ^ wormwood, sneeze-weed, over-exertion, te etc. In order to get up a case of hay- < m fever two of these three factors, oer- , 8? tainly the first two, are necessary. The ** exoiting causes are named tinder the third head, and have beenr regarded as the d^jpose, hence the name hay-fever, , lB> peach cold, rose-cold, etc. One might as well call a sick-headaohe a sausage- * 111 headauh?, because it may be at times 1 ?" caused by eating sausages. The majority of the patients afflicted with hay- , fever who are reported to me are of i a American birth. Dr. Jaoobi, of New ( York, whose experience and praotice y *? among the better class of Germans are ] veryGarge, tells me that he has never rt" known a case of hay-fever among Ger- ( ay mans in this country. I suspect that , l8" among foreign population not born in this country hay-fever is oompara- j tively rare; just as among the same f** ulakJua mwwuus disease of ml kinds are ,in comparatively rare. ^ ue After a person has once been atwe tacked he seems to be for all hie life E ?? liable to be again attacked. Now and t ?* then one may go over a year without b" tho disease, but this is rare. Some- i times tho disease increases in severity t ?? with years, and sometimes diminishes. |? A majority of my patients have tried e . the local application of the solution of t ,18 qninine, as recommended by Helmholtz, 113 and they report that it is little or no good. Among the regions which hay- ^ fever patients visit with benefit, I may ld mention the White Mountains and the ocean everywhere, at least in oold te dimes ; for those who take sea voyages y~ almost never suffer while at sea, but may be attacked as soon as they land. 3y A trip to Earope, the Adirondack 3U region and the island of Maokinaw are 8? very highly recommended by some. Rs Dr. Dennison, of Denver, Colorado, ?" sends me a pamphlet which reports that seme cases of hay-fever have been cured by a residence in that locality. 7 Dike other nervons diseases, it is J? powerfully under the influence of the mind. The striking periodicity of tha ?? disease ooming on as it does, in a cer^ tain case, at precisely the same day or

Ill ooma aboard, ai Ving the doctor with me. I wish to s yon to trade with you." And with farewell wave of a trumpet, as tl vessel passed oat of hearicg, 1 luffed to under our lee, and then lo1 ered his boat. Now the doctor of the Newcastle w at that moment in onr own cabin, 1 ] having been sent adrift in the boat wii the oaptain ; but McGregor wonld, : coarse, bring some one to persona the oharaoter. This would take sev< men from her orew ; and it was all certain that he wonld man his bo with his choice spirits, for if he broug! any doubtful or lukewarm ones, tin might prattle. We had our instruction and within five minutes after the sev< men Btepped on our deck, they had t been deooyed below and quietly s Wired. The boat was veered astern by tl warp, and the main topsail filled on wind, just as if we had made MArang ments for a day's " gam," according the frequent usages of whale-ships < cruising ground. Of oofHrse pur pai ner followed our lead, keepiqg*ebmpai with us all day, without the least sn picion.

Away went a boat from us in ohar( of our mate, with a picked crew ; whi a short distance astern of her followc another, with Captain Watson and h whole party. Toe ruffian who was charge of the bark, calling himsc mate of ber, was amused by the fir comers with a story that his captain hi I made a bargain for a quantity of gu I powder and tobacco, and that our ma I t.J I L ^

A good meal, it is said, .is served in a restaurant in the Rue de Trfnite,' for nine oents. The menu comprises a' plate of meat, a plate of vegetables dessert, and half a bottle of wine. A couple of fellows who were prefoj thoroughly soaked with bad whisky got into the gutter. After floundering for some timejme of them said. "Let's go to anothernonse ; this hotel leaks." An inquiring man thrust his flog-;ru into a horse's month to see ho* i. >ir teeth he had. The horse cloci birmouth to see how many fingers thy* man had. The onriosity of each was fnlly satisfied. Thirty Chinese boys have jnst arrived in Springfield, Mass, to be thenoe sr * to various schools in that State : Connecticut for education. The. brought their wardrobes and trinket* in great bamboo ohests. The lifting power of plants is well illustrated by an oak tree in South Had- 4, ley, Mass. A rook had a seam in ik -X" and a fibrous root from the oak crept into the seam, grew and lifted the rook, weighing over a ton, to a height of one foot. A Western man set fire to the prairie for fan, but after he ran seven miles and olimbed a tree, with his pant": about all burned eff, he oonelnded the sport was a little too violent exev is lo be indulged in oftenar than one > a lifetime.

Daring the damp and oold season, ,8 the legs should be enoased in very thick knit woolen drawers, the feet in thick e woolen stockings (which must be ,e changed every day,) and the shoe soles must be as broad aB the feet when fully spread, so that the blood shall have in free passage. If the feet are squeezed l8 in the least, the circulation is oheoked, and coldness is inevitable. This free ) ? circulation cannot be Beoured by a loose upper with a narrow sole. If when the foot stands naked on a sheet of paper it measures three and a half inches, ;r the sole must measure three and a half. ? I will suppose, says Dio Lewis, you ' have done all this faithfally, and yet your feet and legs are oold. Now add r more woolen, or if you are to travel a' much in tho cars, or in a sleigh, pro8 cure a pair of ohamoie-skin or washleather drawers, which I have found to k. be most satisfactory. ' I have known a number of ladies af't dieted with hot and aching head, and other evidence of congestion about the l(j upper parts, who were completely rein lieved by a pair of chamois-ekin drawers and broad-soled shoes. Three ladies in every four suffer from some oonges3 tion in the upper part of tho body. It 8 is felt in a fullness of the head, in sore ](> throat, in palpitation of the heart, torst pid liver, ana in many other ways. It is well known that a hot foot-bath will 6r relieve for the time being any and ? all IW of these difficulties. This bath draws the blood into the legs and feet, reao lieving the congestion above. What j the hot foot-bath does for an hour, the e<3 broad soled shoes with thiok woolen ;r_ stockings, and a pair of flannel drawers, with a pair of wash-leather drawers added, will do rw>rmononH? . ??

The boat contained Captain Watson, his mato and six others, from the bark Newcastle, of Sydney, who had been Bet adrift the day before by mutineers. The second mate, named McGregor, was at the head of the conspiracy, whioli had been most artfully planned and carried into exeoutioB, while he hud charge of the deck. It was supposed that McGregor, the new commander, intended to carry the bark down among the Marshall Islands and there destroy her, taking, up his residence among the savages. Thero were still twenty men on board ; but how many of them were actively engaged in the plot, or how many were merely cowed into submission to the new authority, was more than the captain oonld tell.
