PULMONARY COMPLAINTS.

A writer in the Exeter Gazette says-It may
be of service to the numerous classes Of our
community, labouring under pulmonary affec-
tions, as well as to those who are called upon
for The professional treatment Of them, to know
that in cases of hsmophysis, or where an efu-
sion of blood takes place from the lungs, from
a morbid disorganization OF their structure,
that a prompt and infallible resource might be
easily provided, so as TO meet the occasion with
a safe and decided effect. From 90 to 2s drops
of the spirit of turpentine Gas the age or the
strength Of the patient might i~ndicate) in a
glass of water, will occasion an instantaneous
collapse of the mouth ofthe vessel producing
this distressing and dangerous affection. The
great DR. Baillie, when l%ecturing on the sub
iect of the lungs, made il a rule to stop short
and deviatc from his anatomical discussions,
in order to arrest the attention Of his pupils
Zone of whom l was to this important fact.
He confessed his ignorance of the mode by
which this specific produced its sudden i'm
preston, for long before it could have acted
through the medium of circulation, the object
was generally effected; and | may add, from
the experience Of 80 years in the profession,
this treatment has obtained such practical con-
frmation, that | have never failed to instruct
such patients to provide themselves with a phi
al Of the above medicine; so as at all times TO
be armed with immediate relief, for want Of
which life is rendered daily precarious, and not
unfrequently lost, through the miseries Of suf-
location in the depth Of the night, recent ex-

and expressing a determination to address the
House, said that in order to ascertain whether
it would be more agreeable another day than
now, he moved an adjournment; but the House
refused to adjourn, and he proceeded-Having
finished, the motion for adjournment was re-
newed, and again lost. The question was then
taken, by ayes and noes, on MIR Ingham's mo-
ton to refer the resolution TO a Select Commit

o'clock s the Hall had been some time lighted:
Another Intellectual effort to adjourn was made;
when Nj. Hamilton, of S. Carolina, made some
few remarks in answer to Mr.. Webster and Mr..
Everett, and at half past six o'clock, the ques-
ton on the passage of Mr.. Webster's resolution
was taken by ayes and noes, and carried by the
decisive majority of l24 to 40.
The House then adjourned to Monday.

From the New-York American.

Sarah Homard VS.. Laban Gardaer.-This &C
ton was brought to recover the amount due
for the maintenance of an infant, placed with
the plaintiff in the fall Of 1922. The details Of
the case were not interesting, exec ptine so far
as they shed light on the following mysterious
story
In the spring Of that year, a female came in
the evening with a Quaker gentleman, to a re-
spectacle clearinghouse in this city. After
seeing that she was comfortably situated, the
gentleman departed. The lady had the manners
of one accustomed to gcnteel society, and APP
peared to be in ~affluent circumstances She
shortly became indisposed, and evinced an un-
settled mind. Dr.. Nelson was called in, and
finding her intellect in a disordered state, he
thought it unsafe for her to remain in a private
house, and she was sent 10 the Lunatic Asy-
lum, under the superintendent ofthe defendant
In the course of a few weeks she recovered
from her arrangement, and ii was then disco
vered that she was pregnant. As she was en-
tirely without a protector or friends, and as her
insanity was doubtless caused by the desertion
of those whose kind attention were the most
called for, it was determined to keep her for a
time in the institution where, after a few
months, she became the mother OF the infant
for whose maintenance the above action was
brought. This unfortunate child was placed
with the plaintiff to nurse, and the defendant
acted for a time as the agent in paying the re-
mittances from the father of the child, who re-
sides in the interior of PennsyIvania, to the plain
tiff. When these remittances were discontinued,
the plaintiff was told ofit, and ordered to take
the child TO the alms-house. but she had be-
come so much attached TO the babe, that she
determined to keep it until the parents should
feel a proper sense Of their duties and obliga-
tons. The counsel for the plaintiff addressed
a letter to the person to whom the defendant
had been directed TO write, when the mother
left the Asylum, and received for answer that
the situation Of the mother became known to
him only as a professional man, and that, al
though letters had been addressed TO him in re-
la,ion 10 the business, his only agency had
been to hand them to the father, with a request
that he would relieve him from all future con-
Germ with it. A remittance was enclosed in

Messrs. Editors: The ever memorable ami

Father Of his County," is near at hand-and

Suffer it to pass by without any indication OF
our respect? In other places arrangements
have been made 10 celebrate its return in an ap-
propriate manner, and I hope that we will not
be behind hand-at any rate, that the Society,
bearing Washington's venerated name, will on
that day have their usual Grafton, Set is a

The principal distractions to the navigation
Of the Ohio river, in low water, that | noticed,
and recoliect, were:
lst. The Grand Chain, (%bottomp, rock and
sand.)
Cd. Cumberland Bar, (of sand, as l under
stood.)
Sd. Bar a: the Three Sisters, (bottom, sand
and gravel)
4th. Scufle-town Bar, (formed entirely of
sand }
5,h. Saline Bar, ditto, ditto, ditto.
9th, Flint Island Bar, Composed Of pebbles
About the LIST of July, when came up in the
Pioneer, we touched first on the third bar, and
found about six feet water: on the fourth,
found much dificulty-found FIVE feet eight or
nine inches water, With very little variation
from one side of the river to the other there
was no marked channel the river is very wide
at this place. On the fifth, the boat touched,
but, on sounding out, found a channel with wa
ter sufficient; as also on the last. In the in
termediate spaces there was found, generally,
two fathoms water-very rarely exceeding, ard
very often less. There were many other small
err bars; but as no difficulty was experienced
in passing them, their situations and names
were not retained bat by reference to the ma
vigator, they can be pretty accurately asccr-
tanned for although the channel and depth of
water on these bars change often, yet the posi-
ton Judging from the informant n derived
from the boatmen on board, continues TO be
the same, for several years past. | would pre-
sumo to say that it is of very great i'm p~ortance
to western and southern States, on The waters
of the Ohio and Mississippi, that these OBJ
structions be removed, so that steamboats, of
the smaller class could navigate, in low water,
which sometimes happens very early In the
boating season. Nat. journal.

After an arduous sitting of six hours and a
half the House of Representatives yesterday
disposed of the Resolution calling upon the
President of the United States for information
respecting the contemplated Congress at the
Isthmus of Panama. Great efforts were
made by the minority to delay the taking
of the question; but it was the firm deter
miration Of the majority that another day
should not be consumed in ~fruitless discussion;
accordingly repeated motions TO adjourn were
promptly rejected, and an hour after candles
had been lighted the struggle was decided, by
a vote of l24 in favor of the resolution, and 40
against it.

SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1896.

Several subjects having exclusive relation
to the District of Columbia, were yesterday.
introduced into the House of Representatives,
The first, and an important one, was a bill re-
ported by the District Committee, and twice
read. for establishing Quarantine, for the Dis
trict of Columbia. This bill is precisely the
same that was reported during the last session,
but not acted upon. 1t appropriates $4,000
to the object, and places the establishment un-
der the control of the constituted authorities
Of the respective Corporations of Alexandria,
Washington and Georgetown. The amend
ment Of the law for making such part of the
proposed Leesburg Road, as lies in the District,
was also reported, and the bill read twice; and
a third bill authorizing the sale of certain Pub
lie Lots in Washington, had a second reading.
No report has yet been made upon the subject
Of a Local Legislature, but we have it, from
an unquestionable source, that the Committee
will report the measure inexpedient, and re-
commend that the Memorialists have leave to
withdraw their papers.
