MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1864.
Ordinary meeting, PETER FORCE, Esq, President In
the chair.
Dr. L. D. CALI read paper o recently discovered
process OF rechfying alcoholic liquors without the aid
OF heat for which patent has been granted The in
yenton is based the fact that when weak alcohol il
put into very tall vessel pipe and allowed to remain
short me the alcohol tends to ascend to the top aud
the water to settle towards the bottom so that afr
some hours of rest if the tube be high enough nearly
pure water may be drawn off at the bottom and neay
pure alcohol at the top.
The merits of the invention and the theory were sob.
sequently discussed by the members.
Professor BAIRD remarked that the fact that weaks
cohol in use for preserving specimens of animals in M
jars has the strongest liquor at the top is well known 10
naturasts but he not aware that this fact had ben
stated in the books.
Professor HENRY while he admitted the fact stated II
Professor Baird, did not think the and proper e-
PLANTATION could bring it under the same law as th,t
which would apply to the subject under discussion.
Dr. GALE suggested that plsy Of affinity between
the animal matters and the water had arisen in the case
predominatng that originally existing between tie
alcohol and water, and thus producing the separation
MIR. CoUEs called attention to the practice Of gauges

A SOLEMN LESSON.

We insert below the impressive address delivered
by Judge MIrcHELL, at New York, in pronouHcing
sentence on DIR. r. M. GRAHAM, citizen Of New
Orleans Of highly respectable standing, convicted
of committing, while in state of intoxication, q
most cruel murder on an sstimable gentleman, al
most in the presence of the victims devoted wife.
When we consider the domestic misery, widespread
social evils, and shocking crimes caused by ntem-
perance, with the accounts of which the public
journals daily teem is moi to be wondered at that
philanthropic and religious men should make uncom-
promising war upon the evil, and even by the most
stringent and extreme laws seek to abae the beset
ting mischief.
In regard to the sad case before US, if any thing
could induce the drinking man, whose senses leave
him when under the influence of the intoxicating
draught, to pause and reflect on the consequences,
we think the melancholy fate Of DIR. GRAHAM would
have such an effect Here are two interesting fa-
miles plunged intd the deepest wo by the rash act
Of drunken man. Dr. GRAHAM, acknowledged by
all who know him TO be kind, amiable, and chival-
rous, does that when excited by liquor which he
would give worlds to have undone in an hour, per-
haps minute afterwards. II, too, he were the on,
y sufferer, he col lid doubtless bear the consequences
to himself with comparative fortitude; but, besides
inaicting enduring misery upon the family of his
victim, making desolate widow Of her who was
few moments befoe happy wife, he consigns the
partner Of his own bosom to condition worse even
than that of widowhood The punishment in the
penitentary being in its very nature the stamp Of
ignominy, i attaches itself by the inexorabe judg-
ment Of tbe world 70 the innocent family of the Of
fender and Furnishes them with an intensity which
time itself can scarcely assuage, certainly not era
dicate
The time is approaching when drunkenness must
be viewed as no eenuation Of crime, but on aggra-
walton Of the oaene which may be its sad conse-
quence.
