CONSUMPTION A writer in the Brit
ISL and Foreign Medico Chirur gical
Rerieao, who has made upwards of 5000
observations with reference to respira-
ton and pulsation in consumption,
draws the following inference, among
others:
That the sitting and standing pos
rures in consumption call for more ex.
penditure of power, and tend TO pro-
duce more subsequent exhaustion than
in health, and the lying posture would
save the strength The effect upon
respiration is much less, and especial
ly in the standing posture. Hence the
latter practice tends farther to exhaust
the system High temperature, with
the accompaniment of dry air, also
tends to rapid exhaustion by greatly
increasing the blood motion, and great
ly lessening the introduction of air,
and on the contrary, low temperature
and moisture increase erifcation of the
blood, aud lesson the rapidity of the
blood current. Hence, in consump-
ton, a moderately cool aud moist air
is the most conducive to health, ant
the hot summer season must induce
exhaustion.

The face of the ruffian, but a moment
before flushed and distorted with anger
turned pale as death. "My Ged !" he
exclaimed, as he recognized in the
STRIPPING the youth whom he had left
for dead upon an Illinois prairie, five
years before. my God Can the
dead speak :"
"You own it, you own it - cried the
lad, "Gentlemen, bear me witness that
he acknowledges the deed. He mur-
dered my father. Blood for blood
Die, seoundrel, die !"
The discharge of pistol was heard
and the murderer fell from his chair
dead. The unerring bullet had passed
through his brain. The form which a
brief moment before was bounding in
life and health, uow lay upon the cabin
floor a disfgured, and unconscious
corpse. The man who through the
years of a life time had revelled in
scenes of vice and lniquity, had in one
brief moment passed through the val
ley OF death, and was summoned before
the awful bar of God. Without a warn.
ing his soul was hurried through the
gates of eternity, and ushered in the
presence of the Great Judge, whom
only the good fear not.

1t was a fearful retribution But
there was none to oquestion its Justsce
The sympathies oil the passengers were
with the young man, and the probable
tiles are that even if he had been ar
rested, there could have been found NO
jury to convict him. As it was, he was
not moletted. The body of the game
ster, who had entered his name upon
the books as Richard Whitehouse, was
tossed overheard without ceremony

aspect OF the city which was to be his

RESISTANCE TO IMPRovEMENT.--It
was the physicians of the highest stand.
ing that most opposed Harvey, 1t was
the most experienced navigators that
opposed Columbus views. 1t was
those most conversant with the man
agement of the Post Office that were
the last TO approve Ct the plan of the
uniform penny postage. For the great
er any ones experience and skill in
his own department, and the more he
is entitled to the Difference which is
provorbially due to each man in his
own province, the more likely, indeed,
he will have to be good judge fins
provements in details, or even to intro
duce them himself; but the more un-
likely to give fair hearing to any pro-
posed radical change. An experience
ed stage coachman is likely to be
good Judge of all that relates to turn
pike roads and coach horses but you
should not consult him about railroads
and steam carriages. Again, every
one knows how slowly, and with what
difficulty farmers are prevailed on to
adopt any new system of husbandry,
even when the faults OF an old estab-
lished usage and the advantage of
change can be made evident to the

REMEDY FOR SEA SICKNESS. s.-Mrs.
Willard, of Troy, possesses new rem
edy for sea sickness, which consists in
forcibly expelling the impure air from
the lungs, and filling them with pure
air. This is her advice "Make your
chest as small as possible by STOPPING,
drawing down your ribs and pressing
your hands to your side, throw out the
air by violent and long continued in
haling, blowing it from your mouth as
if engaged in blowing up fire. Then
change, make long and forcible in-
halation, opening your chest to It's full
lest dimensions by standing erect and
raising your arms from your shoulders.
Three or four of these long-forced
breaths are sufficient to relieve Sc
we're case of sea-sIckness."

g The libel suit, brought by DR.. Czapkay
against } ". Walsh, proprietor of the San.
day parieties, and J. c. Young and ]. ii.
Josseiyn, was on trial yesterday before
Judge Freelon. The suit has grown out Of
series of articles published in the Harfe-
t,e$, attacking the professional reputation
oil Dr. Czapkay, which the plaintiff believes
were published at the instigation of Young
ana Josselyn, who are in the same business

Aole counsel are engaged on both sides, and
tne case is attracting considerable attention,

MILTON AND RoYALTY.-That was
a shrewd reply of the poet Milton, to
James H., when he, as Duke of York,
called upon him out of curiosity.
In the course of their conversation,
James said to him, that he thought his
blindness was a judgment from heaven
on him, because he had written against
Charles l., the Dukes father.
To which Milton quantity replied
eff your Highness thinks that mis-
fortunes are an index of the wrath of
heaven, what must you think of your
fathers tragical end [ have only lost
my sight 4; he, his headl"
James did not think it would be
very safe to continue the conversation
after such an answer, and bade the po.
ct adieu.

\ SPIRITED French WoMAN.-W e
find the following good story going the
rounds of the papers.
y young French woman was engag-
ed as dressing mai to lady of rank
in Russia. One day, while combing
out her mistress long blac hair, she
hurt her head, the lady turned round
and gave her a slap ON the face. The
French woman, who had hold Of her
hair, which she was on the point of ty-
ing, so that it was gathered together in
her hand, grasped it tightly, and in
iicted a sound correction on the lady S
ear with the hair-bru>h. Perhaps it
may be thought that she was immedi-
ately punished by being taken to the
police, or at least summarily dismissed
from the household. Far from it. The
maid knew the character of the Russi-
ans too well, and also what she was
about. She was perfectly aware that
her mistress would not dare to expose
her, on account of the disgrace to her.
self for it would have been an indelia-
bic one for a noble lady to have been
beaten, i'm any place but Count Or
lofts office, and especially by meni-
al, she therefore not only took the
whole matter quietly, but presented the
French Moman with thirty silver rou-
bles nd new gown to buy her sill
ence. She was ever after treated with
much consideration, snd at the time
the anecdote was told, was in the same
situation.

ATTEMPTS TO PRINT PERFECT
BooK.-The following is from the Cy-
clopedia of Literary Anecdote: "Wheth-
er such a miracle as an immaculate
edition of a classical author does ex-
ist," says one, Il have never learnt !;
but an attempt has been made to OBJ
tain this glorious singularity, and was
as nearly realized as is, perhaps, posi-
blc-the magnificent edition of eos
Lusiadas, of Camoens," by Don Jose
Sousa, in 1917. This amateur spared
no prodigality of cost and labor, and
fattered himself that, by the assistance
of Didot, not single typographical err
ror should be found in that splendid
volume. But an error was afterwards
discovered in some of the copies, oc-
casioned by one the letters in the word
Lusitano having got misplaced during
the working of one of the sheets. 1t
must be confessed that this was an ac>
cident or misfortune, rather than an
erratum." The celebrated FOulises,
of Glasgow, attempted to pupl'sh a
work which should be perfect speci-
men of typographical accuracy Every
precaution was taken to secure the de-
sired result Six experienced proof
readers were employed, who devoted
hours to the reading Of each page; and
after it was thought to be perfect, it
was posted up in the hall of the Uni
versity, with notification that a re-
ward of fifty pounds would be paid to
any person who could discover an er-
ror. Each page was suffered to re-
main two weeks in the place where it
had been posted, before the work was
printed, and the printers though that
they had attained the object for which
they had been striving. When the
wo. k was issued, it was discovered that
several errors had been committed, one
of which was in the first line of the first
page. The Fouls editions of classi-
cal works are still much prlzed by
scholars and collectors.

MIDNIGHT lPRowLERs Our friend Joe
Buckman informs us that he was awakened
on Monday night, by the stealthy maneuver-
ings of some evil disposed person, who was
prowling about the house wherein he was
lodging. Mr.. Buckman went to the door
just in time to see the rascal leaving the
premises and banged away at him with a
pistol, but was unsuccessful in making the
enemy heave to. Joe also states that he
was assailed with a brick bat from the
hands of some person who was secreted be-
hind the shrubbery near the foot of Pine
street, on thursday night. These outraees
are growing more and more frequent every
