ABSISTHE AND ABsINTHE DRINkERS.-
| The Pail Mall Gazette says: The indulgence
in absinthe which already prevails to great
extent among all classes of Frenchmen, al
ready threatens to become as widespread in
France and as in furious there as opium-eat-
ing is in China. After the first draught of
this poison, which DR.. Legrand, who has
studied its effects, pronounces to be one Of
the greatest scourges Of our time, you seem
to lose your feet, and you mount to 4 bound
less realm without horizon. You probably
imagine that you are going in the direction of
the infinite, whereas YOU are simply drifting
into the iGcOherent. Ab>inthe affects the
brain unlike any other s,imulant; it pro-
duces neither the heavy drunkenness of beer,
the furious inebriati0n of brandy, nor the
exhiiarent intOXIcatlOn of wine. 1t is an
ignobe poison, destroying life not until it has
more or less brutalized its votares, and made
driveling idiots of them. The symptom that
first causes disqpiet to the habitual absinthe
drinker is a peculiar affection OF the muscles,
commencing with fitful contraction OF the
lips and muscles of the face, and trembling
in the arms, hands and legs. These are
presently accompanied by tinglings, numb
ness, and distinct loss of physical power the
hair falls off. the cOuntenance becomes wan
and sad-looking, the body thin, the skin
wrinkled and yellow tinge-everythine, in
short, indicates marked decline. Simulta-
neously with this, lesion of the brain takes
place; sleep becomes more and more disturb
ed by dreams, Nightmares and sudden wax
iDgS !; ordinary illusions, succeeded by dizzi-
ness and headaches, eventually give place TO
painful hallucinations, to delirium in its |,
most depressing form, hvpochondria, and |
marked impeachment CT speech. In the end
sis ard death.

A SHOWER OF FRoGs.-The Woodbridge

two miles west OF this place, during the light
shower of Thursday last, he had an oppor-
tunity Of Witnessing strange phenomenon,

possess, viz: shower Of small frogs, falling

We would like to know BY what motive power

TRIP TO THE SuMMIT.-On Saturday last
we enjoyed the pleasure of a trip by railroad
to the Summit" leaving the comparatively
warm and bal,ny atmosphere of the valley for
the cool and bracing airs which abound about
the Hottest peaks of the Sierra Nevada. On
our arrival at the Summit, we started, wadin 9
through snow, slush and mud, up hill and
down dale, till we reached the apex of the
Summit, ard Bonner Lake lay smiling below
and before us. A beautiful sheet of water,
nesting among high mountains, and fringed
with tall pines. From this point we could
also see the tunnels being constructed beyond
the Summit, and which are now tending down
the eastern slope of the Sierras-and also
number of Chinese engaged in shoveling
away snow to make way for the railroad
track soon to skirt the lofty mountain over
looking Bonner Lake, whose beautiful blue
color had very peculiar fascination a
light breeze stirred its surface and tinged it
at numberless points with silvery reflection.
In week, the connection of the track will

UNITED STATES EXPLORING EXPEDITION.
Clarence Kings party of engineers, that left
went into Winter quarters at Carson, made
its appearance here on Wednesday last to
resume work on the line of the railroad east.
Mr. Gardner informs US that he will reach
Salt Lake by Winter, when the party will
proceed to Washington to complete and pub
iish their two years work. The benefit Of this
survey to the people generally will be great,
as the statistics collected by the different de-
partments of the expedition will be anthem
tic and reliable. Rev. A. F. White. our State
Geologist, accompanies the expedition as far
as our State line, to gather scientific facts and
practical information for the benefit Of his
department. Register.

Dear Doctor have asked Mrs. Cochran

morrow, and ought not to apprise you of
their fare As hate deception, even when
imagination is concerned, l will. It's need
less to say that my table is large enough
10 hold the ladies. OF this they had ocular
demonstration yesterday. To say how it is
usually covered is rather more essential
and this is the purport of my letter.
Since my arrival at this happy spot we
have had ham, sometimes shoulder of
bacon, to grace the head of the table a
small dish of green beans, almost imper
ceptible, decorates the center. When the
cook has mind to cut hgure-and this l

his efforts, we do not get one the apples.
