ExCEss.-Bayard Taylor, in recent letter
from Germany, says: while either wine or
beer, or both, make an Indispensable part of
a German picnic, have never known an in
stance of intoxication. In the first place the
beverages are alwas pure and light in quality !;
in the second, they are not looked upon as
luxuries, and their use is not considered as a
special indulgence. Leaving the question of
example out of view-which Is the main
argument used by the advocates of temper
ance against those who use wine without
excess-I confess | see no harm In the
habitual use of light, pure vintage. Nothing
is so difficult to measure as the positive
influence of an individual upon his fellow
men, and the cases are rare where man
with conscious purpose, leads another to his
ruin. ! have been frequently assailed by
over-Zealous reformers for writing of the
use of wines without adding condemna-
tion of the habit; but have no condemna-
tion but for excess. do not consider that
the weakness of one gives me the right to
attack the temperance of ten. The most
temperate people that ever found are the
Greeks, every one Of whom-man, woman
and child-drinks wine Excess, in fact, is
a physical disease, and should be treated as
such /; where there is any tendency towards
it the only remedy is total abstinency. But
the stronger and healthier nature has always
seemed to me that which is able to control
itself. Let our education, domestic as well
as public, develop and strengthen this quail
ty, and we shall accomplish more than by
prohibitory laws. na

PHENoMEsos In FLORIDA. A short
time since nearly two acres Of land on q
farm in Hamilton county. Fla, sank sud-

surface Of the surrounding earth. The

account the land was still sinking, an area
Of four acres having disappeared. The

occur, but the present is the largest and

How TO GER SLEEp. This is TO many
persons matter OF high Importance.
Nervous persons, who are troubled with
wakefulness and excitability, usually have
q strong tendency of blood on the brain,
with cold extremities. The pressure Of
the blood on the brain keeps it in a stim-
ulated or wakeful state, and the pulsations
in the head are often painful Let them
rise and chafe the body and extrsmities
with brush or towel, or rub smartly with
the hands, to promote circulation, and
withdraw the excessive amount of blood
from the brain, and they will fall asleep in
a few moments. A cold bath, or a sponge
bath, and rubbing, or good run or a
rapid walk in the open air, or a going up
and down stairs a few times just before
retiring will and in equalizing circulation
and promote sleep. These rules are sim
pie aud easy Of application in the castle
or cabin, and may minister to the comfort
of thousands who would freely expend
money for an anodyne to promote q Ma
ture's sweet restorer, balmy Sleep"

English capitalists of speculative dis
position are turning their attention TO the
oil resources Of Northern Italy. This
country has been known for ages TO be
rich in petroleum of peculiar qualitie, and
Of natural transparency. In Barigazzo
the oil appears on the surface Of small
pools of water, and throughout the whole
Of the hills of the northern sections there
are unmistakable geological signs Of the
existence Of petroleum deposits. There
are wells at Monte Borello which have pro-
duced eleven tuns OF oil per day, and this
at the depth Of less than 16O feet. The
Italians seem entirely apathetic about de-
veloping the oil resources. but the intro
duction of English capital and American
machinery will make petroleum one Of tbs
most profitable Of Italian industries.

Remarkab Jumping by Train OF Cars.

One Of the most fortunate escapes from a
serious railroad accident occurred on the Erie
Railway on Friday morning, the 18th instant.
Train No. l, the day express .or Buffalo. which
leaves New York at o'clock, when approaching
Mlddletown, and travelling at the rate of u weuty
miles an hour, was thrown from the track by a
misplaced switch, Dashing along over the
sleepers tor q distance of two hundred feet the
engine finally struck an iron frog, and was vio-
lcntly placed once more on the rails of side
track. having in this distance crossed two sets
of intervening rails. The tender and all the
cars, five ia number, folio wed the engine, aud
when the terrified passengers came rushing out
the train was all prepared to run back to a
switch and be transferred to the main line.
Oliver Ennis and John Foster, the engineer and
fireman, two of the most skllful aud efficient
the engine, one of the finest, and I ell quite
proud of this well-perlormed feat of "hurile
jumping" No injury was suffered by person or
property, and but ten minutes time was lost.

How the Recent Drum ken Exploit of th'
DelRWnre RenatOr ls Viewed at Home.

The Wilmington Commercial. of last evening
comments as follows upon the recent entrance
OF senator salisbury, in a drunken condition,
into the house Of his colleague
We urge the United States Senate to give Mr..
salisbury ten days' opportunity to resIgn, and
If he chooses not to take that step in tnat time.
then 10 expel him. There are plenty OF sober
Democrats in Delaware, aud we can name
several whose abilities would at least not dis
grace their constituents. As for our present
condition, 1t has been endured long enough.
The people of Delaware are not insensible to
shame: they have now borne with this fallen
man beyond reasonable limits; we therefore
represent them IN saying that Mr.. Salisbury
must Immediately resign, or the Senate must
promptly eYpel hlm.
The Gazette of Wilmington. the Democratic
organ for New Castle county, thus severely
speaks of Mr.. salisbury
"a REMEDY NEEDED. D.-When the wise, good,
and great men of their day formed the Govern
mert OF the United States, they seemed not to
suppose that men could become so debased and
lost 10 bouUr and shame as to continue to hold
on to office, when by doing SO they disgrace
themselves, their country, aud their party. Bat
tbls is so, disgusting as II may seem. Tue
Senate OF the United Sta,es, whcl ought to be
the ablest, pure5t, and wlsest delloeratlve BODY
in the world. ha' repeatedly been made the
arena ior drunken braWs, ana is disgraced by
The appearance there OF members in what Is
termed Iuddled condition, day after day.
When Senators have from necessity been called
to account for this they have promised reforma-
ton, or begged to be excused, only to perpe rate
the wrong ag aip"
it goes on to say that the State has no method
Of redressing the difficulty; only the Senate can
do 1t. 1t concludes thus:-
But our people should understand that they
are in no way RESPONSIBLE for the conduct of
their Senators; that the body to which they are
accredited assume to be the Judges of their own
associates, and they should know when for
bearance ceases to be s. virtue.'

FROM THE FAR WEST.
Pacific Railway Projects.

Special Despatch TO The EUening Telegraph.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-Reports from the Far
West state that the Union Pacific Railway
Company propose extending their route straight
on to San Francisco. and have abandoned all
thought of h junction with the Central Pacific.
The place chosen by the latter to cross the
Sierra Nevada is believed to be the most diff
cult that could have been selected, while that
chosen by the Union Pacific is claimed to be
the easiest route. Two competing roads from
the Missouri to the Golden Gate are predicted in
few wears.
