DR.. Hiram Cox, the Cincinnati inspec-
tor, has published many deeply interest
ing facts Of his experience in testing
liquors sold in that city. In 700 inspec-
tions of stores and lots of liquors of every
variety, he found that 80 per cent were
impregnated with the most pernicious
and poisonous ingredients: Nineteen
young men, all sons of respectable citi-
zens, were killed outright by only three
months drinking of these poisoned
liquors. Many older men, who were
only moderate drinkers, died in the same
period Of delirium tremens brought on
in one quarter the time usual, even with
confirmed drunkards, by drinking this
same poison. OF 400 insane patients, he
found that two-thirds had lost reason
from that cause, Many of them were
boys under age. One boy of II was
made insane by the poison from being
drunk only once. Seeing two men drink
ing in grog shop, and that the whisky
was so strong that it actually caused
tears to flow from the eyes Of one Of them,
the doctor obtained of it and applied
his tests. He found it to contain only
II per cent. of alcohol, when it should
have contained 40, and that the differ
ence was supplied of sulphuric acid, red
pepper, caustic, potassa and strychnine.
A pint of this liquor contained enough
poison to kill the strongest man. The
man who had manufactured it had grown
wealthy by producing it. =

THE sYMpArH1z1NG WOMAN.

If we were called upon to describe
Mrs. Dobbs, we should, without hesita
ton, call her sy sympathizing woman
Nobody was troubled with any malady
she hadn't suffered.
''She knew all about it by experience,
and could sympathize with them from
the bottom of her heart. y
Bob Turner was wag, and when one
day he saw Mrs. Dobbs coming along
the road toward his house, he knew that,
in the absence of his wife, he should be
called upon to entertain her, so he re-
solved to play little on the good wom-
ans abundant store of sympathy.
Hastily procuring large blanket, he
wrapped himself up in it, and threw him
self on sofa near by.
"Why, good gracious! Mr.. Turner, are
you sick?" asked Mrs. Dobbs, as she saw
his position. a.-rr...- r..r......

"Toothache," suggested Bob.
"There have been times, Mr.. Turner" !"
said the sympathizing woman, "when I
thought L should have gone distracted
with the toothache."
."Then," said Bob, who, having tempo
rarily ran out of his stock of medical
terms, resorted to a scientific name, ~ m

the ever ready Mrs. Dobbs; II had it

Though it was with great difficulty
that he could resist laughing, Bob con-
tinued:

"Then you can sympathize with me,
Mr.. Turner. l sprained mine when I

"But that isn't the worst of it,

curiosity.
Il wouldn't tell any one but you, Mrs.
Dobbs, but the fact is''-here Bob
groaned-ssI' m afraid, and the doctor
agrees with me, that my reason is .af-

Bob took breath, and wondered what
Mrs Dobbs would say to that. -,
"Oh, Mr. Turner, is it possible?" ex-
claimed the lady "It's horrible! I
know it is I frequently haze spells of

Bob could stand it no longer; he burst
into roar of laughter, which Mrs.
Dobbs, taking for the precursor of a.vi-
olent paroxysm of insanity, she was led
to take hurried leave. .-..

Leap Year.
The year 1860 is ''Leap Year." and
contains 366 days-one day added to the
shortest month, February, which will,
therefore, contain 29 days this year. On
this additional or 29th day, the ladies
claim privilege which at all other times
is generally allowed to gentlemen only
that of popping the question Leap
Year occurs every fourth year, and is so
called because it leaps over day more
than does any other year. 1t is also
called bissextile- from the Latin BIS,
meaning twice, add seutus, sixth--mean-
ing that the sixth of the calends of March
Corresponding to our 24th of February
was reckoned twice every fourth year by,
the incalculation of day. The neces-
sity of leap year arises from the fact that
the solar year does not correspond ex-
actly with the civil year, in consequence
of its not ending exactly with a given
day, but7with a fraction of day-each
solar year containing 365 days and about
6 hours. If it were not for this arrange
ment, Christmas, in course of time, would
come in midsummer, and the 4th of July
in the depth of winter.

Homo Education.

Judge Crawford, of Washington, in a
recent charge to the Grand Jury, thus
expresses his views of home edueation
"If the young men, who are to be the
future men of our country, were brought
up with more decided home rule, and
compelled (when compulsion was neces-
sary) to devote themselves to the acqui-
sition of skill in some useful and respect
full vocation, there would be less occupa-

ments and habits Of the boy will cling
to the man, and upon his education and
training under the domestic roof depend
his standing, and usefulness, OF the re-
verse, in life. ...

CORRESPONDENTS BETWEEN MAR

JOHN Brown, JR., ESQ: O.

JOHN Brown, JR., ESQ: p o.
SIR:-I left at your house to day
summons from the select committee
of the Senate to appear before said
Committee on the 30th inst. I regret
exceedingly that I was unable to see
you, for l think I could have satisfied
you that it would be to your interest to
appear before the Committee. The only
objection I suppose you can have to do
so, is the fear that the authorities of
Virginia might take advantage of your
presence in that region and arrest you
and take you to that State.
Of this, 1 take it upon myself to say
you need have no fear. In the letter
from Senator Mason, enclosing me the
papers, he makes use of this language,
viz: eff you can get an interview or
other means of communication with him,
John Brown he may be induced to
come under the assurance you can give,
that by late law Of Congress, no per-
son who has been examined as witness
before Committee Of either House of
Congress, can afterward be held to an
swer upon criminal charge for any fact
done or committed by him to which his
testimony may refer. Thus, should the
witness have done anything in connec-
ton with the Harper's Ferry affair which
might subject him to prosecution, by
testifying before the Committee, he will
be thenceforth exempt from prosecu-
ton r. -..rs ..----.
These are the words of Senator Mason,
and to that l add pledge of my sacred
honor, that if you will appear in Cleve-
land on Friday morning next, and ac-
company me to Washington, that neither
on the way, nor in that city, shall you
be molested, but after giving your tes
timony, 1 will see you safely returned to
your home. propose that on Thursday
next you come to Cleveland and see
Judge Spai1ling, Judge Tilden and other
friends and consult with them as to the
propriety of going as. [ propose, and if
you make up your mind to go, that We
leave that city on the following day. l
will also state that have no warrant for
your arrest, nor has there ever been any
issued from any source. The assertion
to the contrary by the Cleveland Plain
Dealer of last week being an unmitigated
falsehood 3f,sE Oh er., 4. ST.

The Boston Journal says the plan we
have tried and never found to fail, is to
get piece of leather and have it cut
into such shape SO to lie, snugly, be
tween the shoulders of the horse and
the collar This fends off all the friction
as the collar slips and moves on the
leather and not OH the shoulders of the
horse. Chatting is caused by the friction;
hence this remedy is quite a plausible
one, and is much better than tying slips
of leather or pads of sheepskin under the
collar. .. ..
