"THKavaa you hear a man, says Sifting, iorifying the past and driveling of the Rood old days, you may be sure that that man's phybicial and intellectual powers are waning, and that he ii stru'ing further and farther behind in the rush of the world's progress. The best thing baut the good old days is that they have no return ticket. The past can't come back if it wants to ever so bad. Ir is now slated that tbe cities cf New York and Washington are to bthe future Lames of all the real millionaires of the country. The big bonanza kings of C-llfor-aiaare taking up their residences in New York, as it is eier to spend from $2 000,000 Su $3,000,000 a year there than it is in Washington, though it is held that while New York ha the best musical and theatrical adraatuges, Washington haj by far the Iirrest number of lions.

'"If you a'.low bad men to trample on the riht3 of Christians in a civilsed community," said Rev. Mr. Gurney. then you are a nalc and a coward." Rev. Dr. Elwarda resented this as a personal remailt, and then the debate became to hot Lat the chairman reminded the speakers i&at their wordi would not look well in print. BSiriSH AND AMERICAN SHIPPING. Mr. Evan H. Jones, American Consul at .'Newcastle upon-Tyce, England, under . atecf September 30, 1SS2, made a highly - intretit g report to tbe Department of Ctate, relating to British thippiug from the period when iron steamers entered into the carrying trade of the w rid. The first Iron steamt-r to which Mr. Jones refers was tt at ordered by Caj.taiu Stockton for the United ' States Navy on 1&9. and next to the iron stsnjer launched at Bristol in 1843, but iron Skips were fctill lcoked upon as innovations, and it was not till 1S50 that their merits received general recognition. The report showj.tbat from 1877 to 1R81 there were built in the United King dorn exclusive of ships for foreign account 2,32f-ailing ships aggregating 553.500 tons, mlau 2,270 steam ve&seis aggregating 1,761,255 tone. It is shown that British shipping has doubled durirg the last thirty y-ar?. Th grots tonnaee amounted to 4 3JG,000 tons, valued at 23,600,000, in 1S50. In 1881 it wasetattdat 10.1 000 ton., estimated at X101 800,000. No other country has made anything approaching the same rato of progress in the same direction. In regard to American shipping Mr. Jones rays: "in 1330 it amounted to 570,475 tons; it trebled daring the next twenty years, for by 1350 it bad reachei 1.5S3 .711 ton?. Tbe succeeding deride wa one tf wouderful growth for the -Aiipp ng of a comparatively young commonwealth, and by 1SGO our over-sea tonnage touched the highest point in its his' tory 2.546.237 tons. At that period hipping engaged in the home trade amounted to 2,752.933 tons, making a graud total of 5,2ü0,175 tons, against 5.710.CJ8 tons . aggregated by tue whole British Eaipire." ! tKM th finrea stood as follows: British tonnage amounted to 8,447.171 ton?, and JLuaerican tonnaje, over-sea end bt-me trade, to 4.068,034 ton, a decline in tht, , orer-sea trade since 13G0 of 1,193.000 toas, .flddtc.ine ia home trade tannage of

37,714 tons, while British shipping increased from 1830 to 1SS0, 5,915,354 tons. Mr.

Jones furnishes figures showing the profits derived from investments in British shipping as follows: Tonnage Coat Percentage YxaP-H.

Such facts arc well worthy of the a;.ention of American statesmen. The navigation laws of the United States are a disgrace to the age, and if they can not be made better by amendments they Bhould be repealed aud a new set enacted. The United 6tates by its policy plays directly into the hands of the British ahipbullder and the British sailor, and the whole bad business centers in the infamous protective tariff. Mr. Jones, speaking of the present position of British shipping, frays: It Is difficult to overstate the importance, present and prospective, of British shipping. The steam tonnage that will ba built during the current year is stated at 1,170,000 toas. And after deductinf 230.000 tons for estimated losses and transfers to foreign flag, the grand total of steam tonnage at the end of 1382 will aggregate about 6,63.003 gross ton, or a dead weight carryicg capneity of 9.150.300 tons. If we estimate the prloe of this Immense fleet of merchant steamers at i!5 per ton, wo get a total value of 137,252.000. To this sura mut be added 10.000,000, the estimated vsluo of sailing ships, and we then obtain the enormous total of capital Invested in the merchant nary of the United Kingdom of 177.50.000. The Influence of shipping upon the trades. Industries, and profession is most important and universal. Not to apeak of the fa el required for construction, ever steamer which goes to sea consumes from ten tons of coal per day upwards. If we estimate the number of British steamers at 7.500, and the average consumption of coal at sixteen tona during S06 days a year, we have an annual consumption of fuel by these ocean carriers, chiefly British coal, amounting to S6.0C0 000 tons Shipping creates a great demand for Iron, and steel iu their various forms a d qualities, as well as for engines and boilors, chains and anchors, sails aud ropes, for every variety of hard ware, crockery and glassware, aud for upholstery and carpets, beds and bedding, electric appliances and telephones. Employment is afforded directly and indirectly to an amy cl men and women of every social grade and intellectual caliber, from tho wealthy ship bctlder. with his estate ia the mill tads and his scat In Parliantaut. to the hard-worked puddier at the furuacs. Docks have to be constructed and maintained to accommodate shlpp ii?. Insurance Companies and Clubs give employment to thousands; Government oGIcers. customs employe, surveyors, savings bank clerks stevedores and nin7 mora derivo their livelihood from the trafSc of shipping. Men and boys employed ia tiro British Mercantile Navy during 1SS) numbered 19),m Tbe Local Marine office of London pays out 10.100 per month iu salaries. The wsges paid to British seamen daring 1JU, amounted to X10.0CO,000; and the preiSiunia paid on marine insurance dmlig the sama year are stated at XtO.ooc.ooo. Look whither we will and the beneficial Influence of shipping la patent. It is possible that Congress will at no distant day take up this question of American shipping, aud by enacting wiser laws than now exist, do something toward securing a fair snare of the carrying trade of the world for American ships and American seamen. THIS HSALi AND TUE IDE IL. We are told that in this age of scientific revelations, the old occupations of fancy and imagination are gone forever; that reality is greater than imagination, and that those who read rocks and 6tars state facts which glow and burn with a diviner fire than ever warmed and vitalized the im agination of a Milton cr a Shakespear. Possibly the real is to take the place of the ideal, and that in the near future the world is to fmd its mental delights is discussing facts rather than fancies. Already it is contended thatfcoience has upset the idea that the world was ma2e 6,000 years ago. Admit it. What then? Does the admission curb the imagination? Nay verily, it plumes itself for grander flights, and wings its way from Stcjr to star From world U lumtnons world, as far As tbe uuimMi hpreads its flaming wall." And whatever may be the trophies of science, the imagination will find beyond its realm an ideal world in which to gather gems as rich an J rare as have in any age j since time began challenged the admiration of the devotees of the beautiful. Admitting all that can be tail in regard to the ultilitarlan characteristics of the ae in which we live, it may still be urged that the fires of fancy and imagination are not extinguished. Indeed, it may be said that the men who go forth with pickaxe and spade, with microscope and telescope, who read backward from man to ape and forward from granite to God, are themselves furnishing food for fancy and incentives to imagination, and that poets desire no firmer foundation upon which to construct ideal worlds than the facts which scientists supply of the real world which we inhabit. It must ever be thus. The soul inhabits a world that scientists can not explore, that Las no building periods; and no matter what may be true'ef this, man is so constituted that he will seek that ideal place and forever strive to incorporate its fancied joys and satisfactions with the dull realities of human life. Man fcigh for an eternal abode freed from the toil aud vexations which predominate here; aud the anticipation is about all there is to reconcile him to his present surroundings- To deny him Buch satisfactions, to rob the mind of such beatific visions, to bludgeon fancy and imagination out of exiatei.ee. In as cruel as it would be to rob this world of ita flowers and sunshine, of its melcdies of brook and bird and bee, or extend the frigid eones to the equator and iii trod ucj a reign of eternal ice. No, let us have th'j ideal with the real; let ns enjoy hopes of Heaven; let the imagination eupply the materials while fancy weaves them into gorgeous pictures of l ieal happiness. The rugged realties of life will not therefore be leas, but they may be softened somewhat and made more easy of endurance. If the belief in a better world than thia be only a freak of the imagination, a f.c:ion which the f incy adorns and beautifies, it is, neverthelesa, a sublimatory freak, and since it blunts rather than sharpens the puLgsof dissolution and robs tbe grave of its terrors it were cruel to antagonize it If death is hu eternal sleep and the resurrection a sham, as some contend, a man ia not

the worse off because be enters tb dark valley cheered by glorifying delusions, 8uch ideals do not interfere with man's conflicts with the real, and since no harm befallt the votaries of fancy and the imagination there need be no conflict between the real and the ideal.

QENEBALj OBANT. What will Congress do for General Grant? That ia the question. The proposition is to ' rttire him with tbe same rank that Le would have held had he not been called from the military service to the office of President," 8uch a bill passed tho Senate at the last session, and Congress is now urged to take it up and push it through. If the bill passes General Grant will be a pensioner npon the Republic to the tune of 115,000 a year. Qrlie likely the bill will pass. General Grant performed great ser ices during the War. He was rewarded first with an ofllce for Ufa which paid about 20,000 a year. He was then made President for eight years, and paid $300,000, $100,000 more than any other two-term President ever received, and to what extent he was rewarded by private donations is not known. Still, General Grant may he placed on the retired list as General a ad receive a pension of $15,000 a year. If such should be the case we hope never to hear any more about the waste of money to pay soldiers email pensions. C UK KENT HOtlU. rAtrrEtt. lunacy ia largely on the Increase in Landon.

Harris, ninety years. The original doorknocker, brought over In the Mayflower, which for several generations was upon the front door of an old Wlnslow street house at Marsnfleld, still standing on the Webster farm, has lately come into the possession of the Rev.

The most successful of recent confidence wo men la the Weot was one who represented herself as the niece of Pret-ident Garfield aud an accredited agent of tho Women's Christian Temperance Union. She carried forged letters of lntroduo tlon, made excellent speeches for total abstinence, gained tbe confidence of Christian women in a numDcr of cities, and made a good living, besides accumulating a considerable amount of money contributions Thb drouth in Northeastern New York is a serious matter to mill owners, somo of whom are using steam power for tbe first time la twenty years, and to thousands of people whose wells have neviT failed before. In many spots the ground docs not contain moisture enough to freeze. "Over a considerable portion of Western Vermont aud Northeastern New York," says the Trov Press, "there has been nothing like a soaking, drenching ralu ince early last summer, aud and only from two to tour or five dais' rain all told daring that period." Joaqcix Mills a writing about Fifth avenue, Nev Yai k, on 8imday morning when the Churches arc emptying their immenso thrcngs iato that world renowned thoroughfare, says: Truly it is tbe carnival of Kome without tbe confete. tha badinage, and the vulgarity. Every man. woman aud child ia not only richly but elegantly and tastefully clad. It is conceded that tfcere are noauch well-dresMid people In the world as those who'promenada Fifih avenue. The less pretentious or poorly clad keep to the other streets, flegance alone and wealth and beauty take their airing here, and here only. You meet a hundred men, the most noble and kingly on

earta, at ever squire, better drerid than Oscar Wilde. And, ir y gentle friend, Oscar dresses well and is a youth vi line presence, indeed." Thi Indian Mirror tells of strange and amusing curiosities of journalism which tie native press of that county fntnishea. Seme time ago a native aper of Ahmedabad published one ot iu issues on yellow paper. Iu readers were at a loss to account for the transformation, wbeu a week afterward It came oat on dark green paper, with and editorial note explaining the reason, which was that their stock of ordinary white paper had been exhausted. Conseqnently the proprietor was obliged to nse some colored paper which was intended for wapners Another native Journal in Guserat disappeared front the scene for two consecutive weeks. On the third week it appeared with an apologetio not, statin that readers were not served in consequence of the editor'! sister belog 111. A third was in a timllar way temporarily eclipsed. In this ease tbe editor had to proceed to Bombay as a witness in a small cause Court case. Latelv the 8amshar Bihadur. of Ahmedabad, has hit npou the original idea ot printing iu first aide, heading and all, on the fourth page. It has carried out the singular programme consifttenily. To read tha paper, yon have to begin from the end and finish at tha beginning. A lettek In the Kansas City Journal from Grand Forks, Dak., gives the following details ot the terrible death of a woman and her child near Stump Lake. They were both very sick in the miserable shanty which they called a home, and the husband, who is a Rutnlan Jew named Salinger, thought it better for them all to leave and attempt to reach the bouse cf a neighbor, half a ml'.e distant The fierce and blludlng storm so ben time J and confused the husband that he drove alralosly around In a circle for two hours. His wile had been ra'ling upon him to hurry, as she was not only dea'hly oold herself, but tesred for the thluly clad baby and at last the told her husband that the child was dead. They carried it for about a quarter of an hour, and then abandoned it and the oxen they had been driving Salinger used every means in his power to keep his wife warm, even taking eveTy vestige of clothing from tbe dead child and wrapplnx it about her, but she became more and more benumbed, belog unable to speak, aid falling insensible ia the enow. He chafed her hauds and exhausted himself trying to revive her, but fin ally, when there was no .onger any doubt of her death, he pushed on and eme to the neighbor's house. His face, hands and feet were horribly frost bitten. Nat Goodwix, the comedian, has had his say on the subject of succecs on tbe stage. HU views are scarcely in accord with three of the actors and actresses who lately wrote on the suljtct in the North American Review. He tells tho Spirit of tho Times that a beginter oa the stage may do one of two thirgs. first, he may j in good old stocK company, "if he. cu fiud oi:e In the woods any whert," and remain ia it for half a century, when he will be glvea a complimentary benefit. Second. If the beglnuer doas not fancy that wcy, he can join a variety thow, purchase a lovely comic song, get a dramatist to write a play around It, and at once become popular and rich "But if the beginner takes the f econd way," Mr. Goodwin adds, "he must never own that success was easy. I find that the really great actors, who had been boot-ted to the top of the tree by thance, notJriety, or money, are very fond cf referring to their days and nights of tell and struggle, and of hinting how very hard they work now. I hare had toils and struggles and bard work myself, but It was gemraJly after the performance was over, and I might better have been at homo ?n bet. Tbe midnight oil theory is beautiful, but I never saw it in practice."

OPINIONS OF TfliS STATE PRESS. The Lafayette Journal, in concluding an article on the "civil service retorm bill ' which recently passed the United States Senate, says: Experience will doubtless u??est some changes fr tne better should the bill ever become a law. the bill permits unj one iu tho public service to make contributions for ootilital purposes, volun tanly and without solicitation by any t-filcer of tu Government or member of Congress Machine politics was the legitimate outgrowth of tbe spoils system, and this evil must nectssaril fall with the t.ttitr. The hour has k truck when the remedy must bJ appUed. If the Republican party, as re. resented ia Congress, has the sagacity to upplement the work of the Senate on Wednesday by tha p vsge cf the c ivil service bill, it will recover tue 1 st groui-d In ls-4; if It leaves thai duty to be performed by the Democracy it will have strengthened them lor au aggressive campaign two ytars hence. The Madison Star says: The Legh-lature convenes next week. While aa a mrtter of course every Htuator and Representative la tbe Suto is plethoric as to new laws, and hs dozens of schemes. It may be, to the more satisfy bis constituency, we really do not see muth for the body to do. To use the words of a well known politician: ' livery LeglMtture Is more disastrous than a Morgan raid." If the diMinKMlshed geutlemeu who feel that they have a great weight of re-p nsltllity upon their shoulders will only see that the slate otllc? have been properly conducted inquire into the workings of the new roed and water works laws, repealing the latter, and make the appropriations as low as petiole, allowing no 8 ate House lobs to go through, and then aoj uru, is all the Sur wilt aMk. Yet wa presume there will be bills Introduced to regulate me stopping and starting f Clocks, and perhaps to aid the society f jr the u couracerneut of Investigation iu the Modern bcbool of ' echuotoey, or something similar. We ran not more worthily pity any one so much as a leicultor who desires U aud tni kshe can fully represent tbe wishes of his constituency. The Benton Review, in looking over the past in regard to itself, says: When we took choree of the Review it was baukrupt. botn in pure and principle. To-day it Is read oy a large aud intelligent elm of people; its uDfcrlp'.tou list comprises the very test meu in theCt unty; if the pstr nage given the Review, both iu aov. riUloK and job work, lndlra'ea anytbiug, fur journalistic etforu have been more than appreciated. Tbe Kevtew ia now upon a more anbsttntial footing tfan ever beior While it la "gall" to a me to know that the Review Is the "omrial' organ, it wears the honor, and tbe editor pockeU the profils with due aud becoming modesty. The Ripiey County Journal says: Would it not be well for our Legislator to pass a law lequlrlng applicants for teachers' Ittense to pey a fee of fifty cents, the money to go toward defraying the expeutea of the County Institute, instead of the amouut now appropriated by the County for this purpose? Tbe Logansport Journal says: Do the people of Lo?ansport desire tt to be understood aud considered tettied that they are uuw llltrg or uuable to enforce tbe laws aud prevent gambiirg and tbe Sunday liquor trafllo? Are tnee people Individually eu'e tnat they have no responsibility iu this matter? Is it not a f ct that vamblttig aud the .-und) liquor traffic exist and flourish by the tacit couent vl the community thitt professedly condemns those evil, and offers numerous prayers f r their destruction? Let us look tbe ttuth souarely ii the face. If every person in this city wbo deprecates these evils was in earnt atoutittbe evils would soon disappear. Why are we not la earnest? Why should evil run riet while the good opposed to it sleeps sweetly under the narcotic influence of selfish iudifiVreuct? The Hancock Democrat says: Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, is reveling In Republican clover. Hi civil service reform bill i assert the Senate yesier Jay by a vote of 3) to ft. 8eotor Browu moved to chDge tbe title to read, "A bill to perpetua'e la office the Republicans who now control the patronage of the Government." If this bill pas?es the House wnich is very probable, the hands of a Df raocra'ic Admlu-1-traiion, should one be elect' d lu lt&l, will be completely Med, and bis underlines will beof opposite politics The Republican party will be rrtiel ii dced.if it does not reward Mr. Pendleton for tbe valuable aud timely service he has performed. The Kokomo dispatch, in a little talk to itself and its friends, says: The Dispatch for 1833 will, as Ir the past, array itself sgaiost every phase and sembUnce of hypocriay, fraud, corruption both public and private, vice, ii temperance, lawlessness and cv;ldoii g. in matten political It will represent as best it may JelTar-onian Democracy, pure and Simple.

WASHINGTON LKIfCB.

Htnton Roman Helper Con kl log The Dor-sey-Qar field Letters Th Soldiers Hugh aicCulloch. Imperial SeDtlnel Lstter.J Washisgto., Dec, 21 I met the other day, for the first time, II in ton Roman Helper, once famous as the author of the "Impending Crisis," which created so remarkable a commotion nearly thirty yeais ago, and Involved John Sherman in a little bit of lying when he was a candidate for Speaker in the days of "border-rufSanitm" and "bleeding Kansas." Helper is quite gray, bat only fifty-six years old. He 1b gathering up facts to be used in a life of Eli Whitney, the originator of the project of a railroad to the Pacific, nearly forty years a so, tbe honors of which Colonel Benton afterward succeeded in appropriating. I was here, in 1819, when John L. Robinson, then a representative from Indiana, was the champion ot Whitney's scheme, and made an elaborate report in its favor. I asked Mr. Helper as to his political status now, and he tol i me that for several years past, as a choice of evils, he had been voting with the Democrats, and that he saw no line of -travel leadirg back into the Republican fold. I w in the Supreme (Jjurt the other day when Cockling made "one of tbe greatest efforts of his life" in the case in which a railroad corporation in California claims to be a "person," in the meaning of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. Justice Field decided the case below in favor of tbe railroad, as might have been expected, and it came hereon appeal from his decision. Tbe Legislature ot California provided that in assessing the property of railroad corpora tioos DO deduction unould be made of their mortgage incumbrances or in the cae of individuals, and the railroads claim that this deprives them of the "qual protection" which the said amendment guarantees to all persons." Mr. Conkling admitted that the fourteenth amendment originated in the purpose to guard the equal rights of the Southern negro, as its contemporary history made evident, but he insist d thai its meaning is now to be interpreted by its language, and that it covers artificial as well as natural persons. Absurd as this position seems, it is extremely probable that th bupieme Court will EUitam it in tbe final decision, for the Court now seems to be the bond servant of the railways. Oa this point i thick there is no diilVrencu of opinion among lawyers who keep any Witch over iia decisions. The chief topic of conversation during the pat week has been tbe published corre spondence of Dorsey, Garfield tt ko. The revelation is a melancholy one. There is no evidence that uarbeld had knowledtr-) ot Dorsey's connection with the tStar Koute business when tins correspondence took place; but Oarüekl ould not nave been ignorant of Dorsey's career as a carpet bag rogue under the anointed Administration ol General Grant. Garfield's efforts to secure the complete vote of Indiana, a3ihown by his let'ers. ere not morally re freshing, aud there is no denying the fact that in the canvass of 1S80 he stood on the tame level with Dorsey, Brady, Hubbellaud the rest, and seems to have had co scrapie whatever as to their political methods. Tbe simple truth is that tho attempt to exalt the ''hilf breeds" above the "ötalwarts" as tbe champions and apostles of political puritl cilion and reform is proving a deplorable fiilure, while theanimo'sity of thee factions toward each other, which is constantly waxing stronger, makes tne future of 'the grand old party" exceedingly dubious. The only hope left is the reconciliation of this strife through a combination on some new negative man in 1334 and the help which the Democrats are to render by their blun ders and mistakes. There is some talk of General Sherman as the "coming man," but the military business has been overdone in every way, while the memory ot Grant's two Administrations is by no means assuring as to any such project. The soldier in Congress seems to be as formidable as ever. It might have been supposed that our experience under the arrearages of pension act would have proved a quietus upon any further raids upon the Treasury in this direction; but another project is before Congress providing pensions lor the widows and orphans of the Mexican War, and the Blackuawk and other Indian wars, which would propably take a hundred million dollars out cf the Treasury, Our gratitude to the soldier is boundless. We not only give him all he asks, or ever did ask, but we lavish upon him millions that he never thought of asking for. Our politicians make a special study of his welfare, and volunteer their services as experts in finding out wave and means of providing for htui and his posterity. Tuere seems to be no end to this business. Time is sweeping away the country's defenders, and tney will soon all begone; but every year the doors of tbe Treasury arc openf d to some new and unlocked for demand. Where and whei this work will stop it i3 impossible to tell. I, yesterday, met Hugh McCulloch, whom I had not seen for thirteen years. He is now over seventy, but looks as young and vigorous as he did twenty years ago His Scotch constitution and temperate habits have kept him young, lie resides here and has a farm in Maryland, pome seven or eight miles out He tsays: ''I am a Republican, but ws very glad to see my old party well whipped in the late elections. We need a change." The refusal of Congress to take a recess is one of the most remarkable novelties of the time. The House wanted one but the Senate refused. Who ever heard of such Senatorial virtues and economy before? If the defeat of the Republicans in the late elections can wake up so much hitherto unused patriotism it seems a p'ty that it could not have come years ago, before they had done so much irreparable mischief. The House, however, can accomplish its purpose by three days' adjournment, and a majority of the members have already left the city. Thus far this has been the mewt enjjyable winter I have ever known in Washington. The weather has been nearly perfect, and the city is charmingly clean and attractive. Imdiaha. Buying m Girl. ITorpnto Globe, Fort Golgary Letter.l Yesterday, though the weather was bitterly cold, there was a lull in the storm, and word was brought over to the saloon that there was to be a horse race between tbe Indians and half breeds on the other side of the Elbow. There was a general stampede for the foot bridge, andl. made my way over In company with a cowboy, whom I knew only as "Shorty." As we crossed the stream he handed me a handful of nuts, and remarked that he was taking a pocketful over to his "girl." "Where did you get a girl?" I asked. "I bought her over here at the Black foot Camp last night." "What did yon give f :r her?" "Thirty five dollars. Oh, here she is," he added, as a little six-year-old Black foot girl came capering down the bank to meet him and take possession of the nuts. The little one had on a new dress, warm stockings, new shoes and a little black blanket, all of which had evidently cjme out of the store within the last twenty-four hours. After loading her with, the nuts. Shorty allowed her to start back toward the lodge. but thinking her blankot did not fit herclo3e enouzh. he called her back, and taking off the empty cartidgo-belt which held his own overcoat together be belted her little blanket snugly around hr waist and then sent her off the happiest younster in the Blackfoot camp. II" What will. jtu do with her?" I asked. "Her motbev is to keep her till I go back to Montanen and then I'll take her down home and jive her to the 'old woman' (his mother, and then," he added very seriously, "fne's a nice innocent little girl now, but if she stays here she'll starve till she grows up and then go to the bad, I'll take

ber home and mother'11 make a woman of

her." I could not help thinking, as I went back to the saloon, that Shorty and his mother were likely to accomplish mote between them than many a pretentions Society of wealthy philanthopists might do during a prosperous career of several Tears. IIAJiGIXG. The Senaations experienced and Speedy Cessation. I New York Tim es. 1 Their The almost instantaneous abolition of sensation described by Dr. Graeme M Hammond in the experiments undertaken by him upon his own person, with a view to test the comparative painles ness of death by strangulation and death by dislocation of the second cervical Ter tebra, which Is now the practice in this city in executing capital sentences, has received many conürmations in the lnera ture of the subject, not only at the hand, of the persons a ho have attempted suicide by hanging, but al-o by medical inquirers, who have tested the question. Lord Verulam, in the "Iiis tori a Vitse et Mertis." instances the caae of a gentleman who, being curious to satisfy himself as to sensations experienced by criminals subject to the death penalty, hanged himself by mounting npon a stool and then dropping himself off, thinking, of course, that ue would be able to regain the stool at pleasure. The experiment would have ended fatally but for the opportune intervention of a friend who released him from his perilous situation. When questioned as to his sensations, he replied that he felt no pain whatever, but at drat saw around him tbeapparitionofavast expanse of rlame, which was succeeded by an intense backness, followed by a vast Held of pale blue or sea-green, such as is often described by persons in a faint. Momagnac, who was res-cued from death by bar ging by Marshal Tnrenne, declared that all sensation ceased instantly, and a beautiful light, vivid beyond all description, filled surrounding space. Fleisch mann, whose essav on death by strangulation r'Annales d'HvKienc," Tome VII., page 452, is a clastic authority, gives a narrative of several expe iments, tüe first of which lasted two minutes. At the moment the cord lightened he experienced a sensation of great weight, accompanied by hissing noises in his ears. Then sensibility ceased, and he knew no more uutil resuscitated. According to Jacquemain, wbo gathered his iufornjatiou from would-be suicides in the Meaas Prison, at the lustenfef pressure there is invariably a sensation of great heat in the head, followod by loud uo'ses, which are musical in their tenor. Tbe latter are succeeded by a ßense of weight in the limbs, and then sensation departs the whole f-eries of phenomena not testing apparently more than a fcw seconds. In some cases tne pressure ii followed by instant syncope, and there is no Bensation whatever. The convulsive rnoveirents, spasmodic contraction of the facial muscles, contraction of the pupils, and contortions of the eveballs that belong to the second stage and give the countenance such a terrible expression are not, according to Jacqaamain, accompanied by an consciousness ;f suffer ing, aud Taylor and Tardieu are of tbe same opinion. The latter believes that death supervenes within ten minutes, and the former that resuscitation is impossible at the expiration of the fifth minute. The marvelous tales of recovery after suspension for half an hour are very apocryphal, and rest upon no sufficient foundation. If the rope is so adjusted that compression cf the vessels and occlusion of the air from the lungs are instantaneous, it is evident that sensation is at once abolished, and this agrees with the results of experiments on animals, in which sensation is suspended with the complete suspension of respiration by compression of the gullet. The difference between the first sensations, as described by Montagnacand Fleischmann, may, without taxing the veracity of either, be accounted for upon the assumption that in the case of the former, hac the experiment been carried to tbe end, death would have resulted from asphyxia, while in that of the latter the symptoms were apoplectic Dr. Hammond felt a sensation of pressure in the head. with noises in the ears like the murmur of a sea shell. In his first experiment consciousness lasted eighty seconds, and in bis second trial only hi ty-five seconds. Vision disap peared almost instantaneously in each case, but there were no flashes of color. Prohibition. INew York Evening Poetl Evidently the election has shed some new light on the value of prohibition aa an element in party contests. Before tha election many people seemed to believe that, while the favor shown to prohibition on tbe Republican side would drive a considerable number of voters away, it would at the same time attract the best element from the Democratic party, and thus more than make up for the loss. This exjectetion Las been thoroughly exploded. The Democrats gladly received the vo'ers whom the prohibition tendency Lad alienated from the Republican party, and gave not a man in return. The party which embraced prohibition, orcoqnet'ted with it. lost heavily without compeusation. This was the first lesson. The Second was that the temperance men themselves did not gain anything i'or tütir cause by inducing one of the existing political parties to Identify itself to a gieater or less extent With their programme. They rnly contributed largely to the dit&slers which that party suffered and prepared a strong reaction against their own cause. In Kansas and Iowa there is evidently but little chance left for the enforcement of the prohibitory clauses in the Constitution, even if in the latter State that clause should be sustained by the Supreme Couri; and political parties will henceforth be more reluctant than ever to identify themselves with a cause which has proved so dangerous to party success. Tbe third lesson, and a very important oe for the Prohibitiotists to appreciate, is that the opposition to prohibitory legislation is not confined to the "rum selleis" and their immediate dependents, but that it embraces classes of citizens whose occupations and views and conduct are ia every sece highly respectable. There are a great many people who are themselves temperate in their habits and wish that others thould be so, but conscientiously entertain the opinion that the State has no right to interfere with the private and social habits and enjoyment of individuals wheu they are in themselves innocent There are others who believe that for the promotion of temperate habits among the people, prohibitory laws, the enforce ment of which has always failed, are not only useless but positively harmful, oecause demoralizing. There are till others who think that the general character and nabits of our people would be vaMly improved by cultivating among them tbe taste for innocent social pleasures in which the use of light wines ond beers might be an entirely unobjectionable element. These opinions proceed from unprejudiced thought and Urpe observation, as well as from a sense of right, audi they have but seldom received from the advocates of tho truperaEc cause that consideration and respect whvfh they deserve. l'Tlson Director. irirookville bemocrat-1 Dr. W.
