Herald, OF July 10Th, states that during
the week preceding, fifty persous died
of consumption in New city. Per con-
ma, q gentleman called upon us yeste'-
day, who actually escaped from the
fangs Of this disease some years ago
and we are induced 10 p:csent the ci:-
cums,ances:
You speak Of coughing considera-
bly,. Let me suggest TO you the query
whether this is Lot unnecessary and in
furious. have long been satisfied,
from experience and observation, that
much OF the coughing which preccdes
and attends consumption is voluntarily.
Several years ago, boarded with
man who was in the incipient stages OF
consumption. l. slept in chamber over
his bedroom and was obliged to hear
him cough continually and dislressingly.

something could not be done 10 stop il.
| watched The sound which the man
made, and observed that he evidently
made voluntary effort TO cough
After this made experiments upon
myself from coughing sncezing gaping
&c. in case Of the strongest propensity
TO these acts, by strenuous effort OF the
will. Then reflected thnt coughing
must be very injurious and irritating to
the delicate organs tha. are concerned
in it, especially when they are in dis
eaeed state. Wha, can he worse Tor
ulcerared bronchia, or lungs, than the
violent wrenchings Of coughi 1t
musl be worse than speaking. A sore

when it is healing and oil course begins
to itch) will grow worse md end in
death. Certainly, then, II sore on the
lungs may be expected lo terminate Ia
tally, il II is constantly irritated, and
never suffered to heal and this 1t
seems to me, is just what coughing
does for it. On the strength Of such
considerations as these, made bold TO
ask the man il he could not stop cough
ing. He answered no l told hlm what
| thought, about il as above. lie agreed
to make trial and OH doing so, he
found 10 his surprise, that he could sup
press his cough almost entirely. The
power Of his will over it increased as he
exercised it, and IN lew days he was
mostly rid OF the disposition TO cough
His health, at the same time, evidently
impros ed, and when we last saw him he
was IN strong hopes o. getting out o!
deaths hands"
This occurred Is years ago, and the
man comes round now, an active busi-
ness man, averring that he has no. had
a sick day since.

TILE REASON WHY IT SUCCEEDS.

The Mustang Linment has attained its enormous
popularity, and almost universal use, simply because
IL gives better satisfaction, accompiishes good
relieves more pain, and heals more wounds and sores
than any other preparation before offered to the
afflicted. Every bottle that 10 used, speaks for it,
sef-tes its own tale in the reliefit gives and the
cures II effects. And then who has suffered per
haps, long years with pain, without hope Of relief
and finds in this Linment an almost instantaneous,
remedy cannot help but speak in its praise, and rec
ommend il in the highest terms to all that he sees
suffering. II needs no other recommendation than

When thy proud spiri, is aroused, nigh, quell

But with step proud as queens might be
O'er conquered fields.
And ihou has, that strange gift,
The gift genius, high and proud, and strong,
At whose behest thoughts, beautiful and swift,
Around thee throng.
They come to thee from far,
From air and earth, and oceans s. mdless

They rush in glory from each shining star,
On Heavens blne sleeps.
They leap from earth's far bound
Forth from the red volcanoes depths they start
From bow and cloud they hoat-and gather round
Thy burning heart.
Then at thy high command,
They stand all marshalled in thy peerless lay,
As some great warrior marshalls his proud band,
In bright array.

able and interesting charge 10 the
Grand Jury, yesterday morning. IN
which he renewed the Criminal Code
OF tins State from the Colonial days OF
1913, when the first criminal laws were
enacted, down 10 the present time. The
charge evnccd great research and a
thorough knowledge Of Legislation on
this bject aud the practice under the
various Codes. He gave vast amount
OF statistical information in regard to
how offences were punished in years
gone by, and also the numbers punished
under the various Codes. He dwet at
much length and with great earnestncss
