DRINKING IMPURE WATER.-Set pitcher OF
iced water in a room inhabited, and in q few
hours it will have absorbed from the room
nearly all the respired and perspired gases
of the room, the air of which will have bo-
come purer, but the water is utterly filthy.
This depends on the fact that the water has
the faculty Of condenslng. and thereby alb.
sorbing all the gases, which it does without
increasing its own bulk. The colder the
water is, the greater its capacity to contain
these gases At ordinary temperature pint
of water will contain pint of carbonic acid
gas, and several pints of ammonia. The
capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the
temperature to that of ice. Hence water,
kept in the room while, is always unfit for
use and should be often renewed, whether it
becomes warm or not. And for the same
reason. the water in pump stock should be
all pumped out in the morning before any is
used. That which has stood in the pitcher
over night is not fit for coffee.water in the
morning. Impure water is more injurious
to the health than impure air, and every
person should provide the means Of obtain.
ing fresh pure water, for all domestic
uSes.

STOCKTON AND THE INSANE AsYLUM.-The
editor of the Pacific Medical and Surgical
Journal insists that Stockton is no fit place
for an Insane Asylum. First, he says, the
temperature is too high, and then it is a ma
larious region. He says: " At the risk of
being pronounced malicious, we state this as
another serious objection to the present local
ity; for no one will pretend to deny the fact
that the region about Stockton is malarious
in high degree. Its topography gives pri-
ma facie evidence of this, and individuals
and families removing from that district to
San Francisco also demonstrate it. In truth,
the State Asylum is just where no such insti-
tuition should ever be planted-where no
Medical Board on the face of the earth
would have located it-n fat country, on
dead level without hill or forest, or irriga-
tion, or drainage-in hot Summer climate
and malarious atmosphere. Unbiased by
personal or local considerations, we record
this as a professional opinion, with entire
confidence that it will be sustained by medi-
cal authorities everywhere.

MUST SEE HIM AND BLESS HIS CoFElN.--
A great brawny six footer, who looked as if
he might be able to cut six cords of wood a
day, and paint picture afterward, pressed
forward very earnestly to see the hearse as it
was passing. There was strange eagerness
upon his hard bronzed face. Don't walk
over me, said an irate individual whom he
was pressing rather sharply. Excuse me,
sir, said the backwoodsman. "but | must
see the cofin' "Why must you see it ?"
% Because love the mamie is one of my
craft" was the reply. An right" was the
answer, still petulantly. 81 must get
through" persisted the backwoodsman !;
"two of my brothers have died in the same
cause as Old Abe. I'll never go back to the
prairies till see and bless his coffin |" And
he pushed his way through with his brawny
shoulders, and that was the last we saw of
him.-Report Of Funeral Obsequies in Neo

THE Law OF TREASON. law Of 1870,
which was passed to carry into effect the
constitutional provision against the crime Of
treason, declares as follows:
"If any person Or persons, owing allie.
glance to the United States Of America, shall
levy war against them or shall adhere tc
their enemies, giving them aid and comfort
within the United States or elsewhere, and
shall be thereof convicted, or confession in
an open court, or on the testimony OF two
witnesses to the same overt act of the treason
whereof he or they shall stand indicted, such
person or persons shall stand adjuged guilty
of treason againsth United States, end shall
suffer DEATH"
The Washington Chronicle, in commenting
upon this provision, says:
P" Another distinction arises from the fact
that. under the ruling of Chief Justice Mar
shall, in q trial for treason, the offender is
amenable tor all acts he counseled or pro
eured-no matter how distant he may be from
the actual scene of the outcroppings of his
crime Thus the responsibility of the lead
ers IF the rebellion is coequal with their tenn
porary influence and power. Connected
with this point, an interesting question
arises in regard to that stumbling block in
ordinary treason cases-the necessity of con
ducting a trial in the State or judicial district
in which the alleged offense was committed.
But, if we carry out the doctrine of extend.
ed responsibility to its logical and righteous
consequences, our laws would warrant the
trial of JEFF. Davis and bis official associates
at Gettysburg for the havoc of that bloody
field-at Chambersburg, for burning that
beautiful town-at Carlisle, for destroying
the Government barracks-at Washington,
for invading the environs of the capital-or
at any point where the armies they directed
levied war against the United States"
The Philadelphia Ledger said some days
ago that it was reported that Attorney Gen
eral Franklin of that state was preparing an
indictment against General McCausland and
Major Gimor. for levying war upon the in
habitants Of Franklin county, and it suggest
ed that Lee and others ought to be included
in the indictment.

WHEN 1 MEAN TO MARRY.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

When do mean to marry? Well
'Tis idle to dispute with fate;
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the date:
When daughters haste with eager feet,
mothers daily toll to share;
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend tho stockings which they wear:
When maidens look upon man
As in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers sean
sutler or q commissary.
When gentle ladies have got
The offer of a lovers hand
Consent 60 share his earthly lot,
And do not mean his lot of land.
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubes, diamonds and pearls;
When wives. in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands TO aid their spouses
And live as they were wont to live,
Within their sires' one story houses.
Then, maaam-if I'm not too old
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold,
And look about me fer wife.

had been in recent engagement, was wound
ed, and taken to hospital. She found the
hospital, but the boy was dead, or died while
she was there. The surgeon in charge made
memorandum of the facts upon the back OF
the Presidents order, and, almost broken
hearted, the poor woman found her way again
into his presence. He was much affected by
her appearance and story, and said, " know
what you wish me to do now, and l shall do
it without your asking l shall release to you
your second son." Upon this he took up his
pen and commenced writing the order.
While he was writing the poor woman stood
by his side, the tears running down her face,
and passing her hand smoothly over his head, /,
stroking Lis rough hair, as l have seen a
fond mother do to son. By the time he
had finished writing his heart and eyes were
full. He handed her the paper. Now, !"
said he, "you have one and one of the other
two left; that is no more than right" She
took the paper, and reverently placing her
hand again upon his head, the tears still
upon her cheeks, said, 1.-THE Lord bless you.
Mr.. President. May you live thousand
years, and may you always be the head of
this great nation !"

Coon IDEA.-Iti is stated thatin Maine, says
the Call, there is a law which allows a GER
tain reduction of taxes to each man who will
put up, and keep in good condition and well
supplied, trough or tubs for water, on any
public road side. A reduction of taxes is
also made for those who will plant and raise
shade-trees alongside of the highways.
Three dollars year is the amount deducted
for the water arrangement. and certain
sum is deducted for each tree grown. 1t
would be good thing to adopt similar stat.
utory regulations in this State.
