A Christian Philanthropist.

Governor Randall has been making
himself useful recently, in lecturing
before the Sabbath School Union at
Washington City, the account of
which will naturally make one smile
who knows Allick. In Waukesha
village, where Randall used to sit in
his shirt sleeves during the warm
summer days and play seven up for
the drinks, the following paragraph
will be read with delight. We clip
from the Washington correspondence
of the NeaC York Christian Advocate !:
"Ryland Chapel, Rev. DIR. Hamilton
pastor, is now fully inaugurated as
the great meeting place for Sabbath
Unions, conferences, etc. The Union
ofSouth Washington, in thatnew tenn
pie, was exceedingly gratifying to all.
With the introduction ofthis new and
elegant chapel we but give expression
to universal sentiment when we well
come to the platform of our Christian
PhilanthropiSts the name of Hon. A. w.
Randall, Postmaster General of the
United States. This gifted and elo>
qucnt orator has recently rendered
important service to the Sunday
School cause in this district. His
speech at Ryland, on the occasion re-
ferred to, was one of great merit
With such gentlemen as Chase, Har,
Ian, Randall, Price. and Colfax, the
work of Christianity cannot fail to be
promoted"
Reading the above reminds us of
a "little story" as Mr. Lincoln used
to say, which runs thus: After AL
lick had made one of his thrilling lit
tie speeches at certain place in this
state, he was congratulated upon it's
success by one of his cronies, when
he replied, II guess | did make a
damned good hit l"-JanesuiUe Ga.

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON THE SYT-
TEM.-Dr. N. S. Davis having institu>
ted a series of sphygmographic OBJ
servations of the effects Of alcohol
on the circulation, thus sums up the
results
First. 1t presence in the blood
directly interferes with the normal
play OF vital affinities and cell action
in such manner as to diminish the
rapidity of nutrition and disintegra-
ton, and consequently, to diminish
the dependent functions of elimina~
ton, calorifcation, and innervation .
thereby making alcohol a positive
organic sedative, instead diffusable
stimulant, as is popularity supposed,
both in and out of the profession.
Second. That the alcohol itself acts
in the system exclusively as a for
eign substance incapable of assimila>
ton or decomposition by the vital
functions, and is ultimately excreted
or eliminated without chemical
change.
The important bearing of these
conclusions on the therapeutic and
hygienic uses of alcoholic drinks,
must be obvious to all, and especial
ly demand the careful attention of
every member of our profession

thing so unusual during the past seven or
eight years that they have got it into
their heads that three members of Con-

votes ever counted before. The republi-
can majority there last year was only
800, and as the copperheads succeeded

will cheat on the first opportunity and
as the Legislature is republican, they NAV
crow to their hearts content, as we know
shat small favors are thankfully received
by that party.
Rhode Island however affords them
little consolation, the republicans having
left scarcely a grease spot of copperhead-
ism. In Michigan, the republican tri-
umph is also great, while the charter
elections in Columbus. Cincinnati, and
other cities in Ohio, show large gains for
the republicans.
