Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. OctosER 20. Dear Sue:—You know I promised to tell you all about the Woman's Congress, in which you are so interested, and which we went to Chicago on purpose to attend—that is, I did, but Sally’ wanted to match some feathers and have her hair banged. She isa dear girl, but does not Seem to have the remotest idea about the higher life, her duty to womanhood, and all that sort of thing, you know. It rained the first day. It was just horrible. Chicago weather certainly proves that habit is stronger tian principle, tor the mereury slid up and down- in the thermometer, the wind biew | from ail points of the compass, and all this after we had been promised fair weather. We went to drive after breakfast with Jack, and he would take us out to the park, although we told him that we were under a moral obliga- tion to xo to the meeting. He said he euessed there would b hough earnest women to carry the thing 1 h without us. I don’t like to adopt that tone. If there is one thing women ou to doit is to encourage each other in the cause, by their presence, at least. When we got back the meeting had adjourned, but it did not make much difference, for it was a business m inutes, and reports, and Idon't believe you would care much for them. In the afternoon we heard a paper you would have liked so much. I forget the title; but it was all about children and drunkenness and poverty and crime. It was read by an eastern lady. “They just love such things. She wore-a dress, and looked so sweet and noble up there on the st she said the state iu omen ought to make « to it, I felt thrilled to the heart. iiline todo anything to help the l work en there was a discussion of the per that I'did not hear. because I was trying © remember what I had done with Sally’s sam- ple of velvet. That night there was a grand banquet at the mer House. I did want to hear Miss Barton ‘ak on “The Work of the Ked Cross,” but it possible. We had made up our minds to go to the banquet. and knew that we should be all tired out id fit for nothing if we tried for both. it their 'y party, and T have sent you ‘iety Journal, in which there is a full ac- count. I was so glad we had taken evening dresses with us. Itis such a satisfaction to show the world that a woman can take a serious, ernest view of life and still pay some attention to her appearane The next day it rained so hard that it really seemed foolish to go out. We had accepted an invitation to lunch, so we spent the morning getting ready. Wereally ought tohave declined, but it seemed a little rude to do that, especially as she said we could all go downtogether to the afternoon meeting. Luncheon was delayed by calls, and then there was baby—a dear little but she just would not go to sleep, and we could not leave her crying. I felt real guilty when we reached the hall and found the session nearly over. It was not very enjoyable; one can not be interested in the discussion of a paper one has not heard. It is trying, too, to feel that you are not living upto the level of your friends’ Seme of the ladies seemed to think we might have been early if we had cared to, and made themselves really disagreeable, even after I had explained how it was. I think really the great problem is how women shall pro- portion their time justiy between their conven- tional and their higher social duties. Next year I'll present a paper on that subject if you will help me. Ido think Jack is lovely. We met him ina barber shop where Sally went to. have her hair banged. He saidshe looked like the wreck of an ill-spent life, but if she would wear her hat very far down o her nose he wouid take us some place for supper and see that we were in time for evening services. I think men have a betteridea of time than women, don’t you? I was real glad he went, for one of the ladies ly and earnestly about sowing wild oats. There weremany gentlemen present, and all locked impressed when she referred to Darwin, or Huxley or Spencer, for you know it takes a strong mind to read those books. On Friday morning was the election of officers. More than half the ladies forgot their member- ship tickets, and a good deal of time was taken up in making out new ones. It was after 11 be- tore the ballots were distributed. A list of vice presidents and other officers is made out by a nominating committee, but each member can seratch any name and substitute another. There were two or three I would like to have changed, but did not have a pencil. As Sally was in a hurry to go for her feathers I just’ voted the ticket as it was and left. There were some papers to be read that after- hoon, and a charming tea at the rooms of the Fortnightly. that I was awfully sorry to miss, but we decided hastily to come home with the Kinseys—you know father does not like to have us travel alone. I feel more and more how important it is for @ woman to cultivate her mind, and have come home with a fixed and unwavering purpose to elevate my sex, and to cling to the path of duty, no matter how hard it may be to climb. Hair is worn high in Chicago. -- How to Prevent Smoke. Professor Roberts, in discussing the smoke- abatement problem before a Parliamentary com- mittee, said: “M. Delezenne estimated in 1855 that the pro- portion of carbon that escaped combustion in this form might be taken at five per cent of the total weight of fuel burned in the grate, and 6320 kg. of soot fell in twelve hours on the town of Lille. But, as Emile Burnat, quoting Payen, pointed out ina valuable paper on the combustion of smoke in boiler furnaces, the amount of finely-divided carbon produced in a certain lamp-black factory is only three per cent of the coal burned, and therefore the amonnt of carbon in ordinary smoke must be much lower. In 1858 Mr. John Graham estimated that very black smok oes not contain more than 1-10 per cent of the carbon of the coal burned, and the accurate experiments of M. Schewrer-Kest- her showed that in_ boiler furnaces the loss of carbon in the form of soot never exceeds 1 per cent of the fuel burned, while the mean loss is ee ccaty between 2¢ and % percent. A case, however, is recorded in which a coa! containing 69 per cent of carbon (burned with an inade- quate supply of air) thus lost an amount of carbon as soot equal to 2.03 per cent of the fuel burned. As mixht be anticipated, the amount of soot is greater in the case of an open fireplace than iva boiler furnace. But | the evidence afforded by the results of the | tests made at the exhibition, while possessing much interest, does not, unfortunately, render it possible to give a precise answer to the ques- tion, tor the following reasons: Some of the soot must have been deposited in the flue before it reached the point at which the withdrawing tube was inserted, and there is reason to fear that in the withdrawal of flue gas laden with soot, through any form otf slit or orifice in a tube, the gaseous and solid portions may not enter into exactly the ratio in which they exist in the chimney. In many cases the flues were carefully swept before and after the trial, and the soot cotlected and weighed. In an extreme case, in an open fireplace, no less than 24% per cent of soot, compared with the fuel burned, was found in the flue at the end of the trial. In the case of three close stoves of careful con- struction rather less than 14 per cent was found, while in some cases It fell‘to 14 per cent, and in one case to 1 20 per cent. Ot course these num- bers do not include the amount escaping into the air. Imay, perhaps, add that in a prelimi- nary experiment, made with an ordinary open fireplace, connected with a chimney by means of a sheet-iron pipe 6 feet long and 9 inches in diameter, 17 pounds of bituminous coal were burned in three hours and no less than .61 per cent of the fuel burned was collected in the pipe municants. — The Week of Prayer begins with the first Sunday in the year, January 6th, and the gen- eral arrangement of topies is as follows: Mon- day—Praise and Thanksgiving; Tuesday—Con- fession of Sin, and Prayer for Cleansing and Renewal; Wednesday—Prayer for Families and Instructors of Youth; Thursday—Prayer for the Church of Curiae Friday—Lntereession for the jations: Saturday—Prayor for Missi pom psn y jons at Home —The Examiner (Baptist) of New York quotes from the sermon recently preached in the Madison Congregational church, New York, by Dr. J. P. Newman, on “Christianity triumphant in the elevation of woman,” a passage in refer- ence to civil officials performing the marriage ceremony, in which the speaker said: “Imagine a New York alderman performing such a cere- mony! A New York alderman with a shillelah on his shoulder, brogans on his feet and potatoes im his pocket. “A walking grogshop, reeking of gin, Surely such a marriage, performed by such Sone, is scarcely worth seventy-five cents.” The Brominer adds: This tells a significant story both a to preacher and hearers. Ifthe report is correct, the Methodists have good reason to con- thems-ives that Dr. Newman occupies denomination, pulpit of arowker in the form of soot, while the soot that passed into the chimney was not collected. This ee cent of soot, after drying at 100 deg. C., yielded on distillation at 300 deg.

The American Geographical Society has just published an interesting paper concerning the people of Alaska from the pen of Dr. Irving C. Rosse. “The object of this paper,” says Dr. Rosse, in opening, “is to record, ina fragmentary way, some observations, as they have occurred to the writer during a late hyperborean experience, which afforded exceptional advantages tor Doting a few of the changes and variations that are brought about in the human economy by climatic influences and the environments of high latitudes,” +The author proceeds to give an account of his experiences in the north while with the revenue cutter Corwin. “The principal vices among the people of Alaska,” he says, “who are generally mild and_ inoffensive, seem to be a fondness for games of chance and an uncontrollable craving for alcoholic drinks—an appetite which, by the way. two seasons of personal observation and experience in the Arctic convince me is some- thing of a physiological necessity. The taste, however, seems to be an acquired one by the aborigines, for | saw a man at Nounivak Island ; to whom the taste was foreign, and on tasting both brandy and whisky he made a wry tace and spat them out with evident disgust. “Iiticit traders, taking advantage of this northern craving for drink, have of late years been in the habit of supplying the most villian- ous compounds, in exchange for small quanti- ties of which the improvident Esquimanx gives his choicest furs. Some captured specimens of these prohibited articles. bearing the respective labels of ‘bay rum,’ ‘Jamaica ginger,’ &c., with a view to defrauding the revenue, proved on ex- amination to be nothing but cheap alcohol of.a highly inflammable nature to which a little col- oring matter had been added.” Speaking. of the effects of climate on health, Dr. Rosse sa In addition to the frequent dis- orders of the respiratory organs, rheumatism and affections of the alimentary canal are quite common. The latter are principally due to over- loading the stomach after a long fast, and indi- gestion from this cause is so frequent that it is no uncommon thing to find an Esquimaux suf- fering for several days from all the remorses of euilty stoma The women, too, are at times violently hystericat, and in this respect do not differ much from their more civilized sisters. Diseases of the eye and its appendages are quite numerous, and among them I noticed several cases of opacity of the crystalline lensand of the cornea, and of fatty and pigmental degenera- tion. Ophthalmia tarsi in its chronic form and granular inflammation of the conjunctiva are common along with amblyopia and astnenopia, and it is not at all unlikely that a specialist might exhaust the opthalmological vocabulary in describing the diseases he might observe. “Among these numerous eye diseases, how- ever, I observed but two cases of total blindness —onein a man at St. Lawrence Island and another at St. Michael's, in a native from the in- terior. Mr. Petroff, whose duties as census agent have afforded him great tacilities for ob- serving the interior population, informs me that blindness is almost universal among the older people, most of whom get blind on reaching the age of fifty. This blindness, common also to the lower animals, was once observed by him in a bear at Prince William Sound. The bear with several others was seen approaching his party on the beach, and the singular actions of this particular bear attracting attention, from the uncertain way in which he walked and was pushed about by the noses of the other bears. it was singled out and shot, when an examina- tion showed the previous existence of total blindness, which of course accounted. for the odd movements of the animal. “These eye affections are not caused by smoke, ashas been erroneously supposed; they are mostly the result of snow blindness, in which the sensibility of the end organs, the rods and cones is diminisiied or exhausted by the pro- longed illumination from the constant sunlight and the glare trom broad expanses of brightly glistening snow. The rarefaction of the Arctic atmosphere, the Insufficient and impoverished condition of the blood brought about by bad feeding and the strumous diathesis may likewise be mentioned as predisposing causes.” eee =i Country and City Bred. From the Chicago Journal. It is the young man who has been reared in the country, often amid untold privations and self-denial, who makes his mark in the world, and not the city-bred boy, who has been brought up in idleness and luxury. Robert, Collyer once said that nine-tenths of the men who had come to the front in the various walks A TREMENDOUS TRAMP. pe Who Traveled on Foot from New York to St. Petersburg, At a recent meeting of the St. Louis Histori- cal Society, the subject under discussion was the adventures ot Russell Farnum, who was identified with the early history of St. Louis and the northwest. He was a man avout whom many newspaper items have been written,but of whose career little definite is known, especially his trip overland via Behring’s straits from the United States, through Siberia, and thence to Paris, London, and back te New York,-in the interest of John Jacob Astor. who was at the time head of afur company doing business on the upper Mississippi aad Hudson’s bay. Col. Russell Farnum, a native of New Hamp- shire, had been a clerk in the employ of John Jacob Astor, of New York, for a time, and was dispatched ‘by him to visit his employes and agents in the Indian country of the west, and, with the aid of the late Wilson P. Hunt, to transact business as his agent, as his business and interests yequired. Farnum soon became well known in St. Louis, and at the commence- ment of the war of 1812 with Great Britain was on a business excursion near Lake of the Woods. Having finished his business, as fall approached he struck boldly across the country for Prairie du Chien. When he reached the river at that point, he was arrested by a United States officer and a party of soldiers as a Brit- ish spy, and brought to St. Louis under de- grading circumstances; but when he arrived, the boat was surrounded by a crowd of his ex- cited friends, and he was taken to his old quarters before the officer could secure his boat. The officer was greatly mortified at his conduct toward his poe when he learned who Farnum was. and returned his journal and other papers at once. Atter consultation with his friends, Gen. Clarke and Mr. Hunt, Farnum started alone with his dog and gun to carry messages to trading posts up the Missouri river and at Astoria on the Pacific coast. The exact date ot his depar- ture and arrival at diferent points of his long journey were carefully noted by him, as well as the remarkable Incidents and observations on the route, ina well-kept Journal prepared for publication, and was placed in the hands of a publisher in New York, who failed and died sev- eral years before Col. Farnum, and he was never after able to recover the Journal orlearn its fate. * Having at length overcome the great barrier between the oceans, he reached the waters ot the Columbia, and, leaving the inbound rivers behind, meditated taking a more easy and speedy mode of traveling to complete his jour- ney. But while he sat on a log near the river meditating the best means of accomplishing his object, his dog, lying at a little distance, jumped up, and, running between his legs, manifested great alarm, when Col. Farnum, turning his eyes to the river, saw five canoes filled with In- dians glide by like an arrow. Their hostile ap- pearance determined him to continue his jour- ney in the same safe way in which he had accomplished the most difficult and dangerous part of it in safety, and, in pursuance of this resolution, he reached Astoria in per- fect health and delivered his dispatches in safety. When Col. Farnum had suf- ficiently recuperated to Justify a further effort, he undertook the overland Journey to St. Petersburg, Kussia, taking with him documents for the Hudson Bay company. He walked up the Pacific coast to Kamtschatka, still carrying his gun and accompanied by his dog, and arrived at Behring’s Strait in the winter of 1813-14 and crossed it on the ice. Entering, Siberia he proceeded across the eastern conti- nent to St. Petersburg, where, introducing him- self to the American consul at the Russian court. he was presented to. Emperor Alexander as the bold American who had traveled by land across both continents. He was received with great consideration and kindness and was forwarded, without solicitation, as far as Paris on his home- ward journey. * * * He was received in St. Louis on his return with great demonstra- tions. * * * In 1830 Col. Farnum married the second daughter of Charles Bosseron. She survived him but a tew years, leaving an infant son, who lived to the age of eighteen and died of pulmonary disease. He died of cholera in 1832, never having rewritten his journal. * * * His sudden death leaves only his friends to write of his adventures from recollection, without the aid of relations or documents of any kind except the public journals of that day.” = The Old Homestead.

The theory that the emanations from ob- structed foul drains conveying decaying vege- table matter or human excrete is provocative of typhoid diseases, appears to accumulate testi- mony; and therefore that these drains should always be kept free and occasionally washed or “flushed” would seem to follow. The sanitary superintendent to the board of health ot New York city has recently reported that an increase of typhoid cases might be expected, one of the reasons for_the report being the restricted sup- ply of the Croton water for cleansing purposes. ‘The gist of the report on this subject is the re- quirement of an abundance of clean water for flushing all water closets, soil pipes, and drains. Dr. John C. Peters says that typhoid fever is caused largely by broken, oyertilled, or other- wise defective drains, the latter of which are common in the country, and there typhoid fever | is more common, in proportion to the number of inhabitants, in small towns and villages, and even isolated farm houses, than in large,’ well sewered cities with an abundant water supply. Typhoid fever is largely imported into cities every fall by visitors returning trom so-called health resorts and summer boarding houses, but it generally dies out in the city. —— oo Getting on the Police “Well, my man,” said a philanthropist to a hardened-looking chap confined in the Paisley prison, ‘-what are ye in for?” “T'm in for thirty days, I reckon,” sald the prisoner, sullenly. “No, not that; what offensé did you com- mit?” “Didn't commit anything.
