The Effect of Smoking on Boys.

Dr.. Decaisne General de Their, in
the course of Investigations on the
influence of tobacco on the circulation,
has been struck with the large num-
Der of boys, aged from nine to fifteen,
who smoke, and has been led to in
quire into the connection of this hab-
il with impairment # the general
health. He has observed dirty
eight boys, aged from nine to tif-
teen who smoked more or less, OF
these distinct symptoms were present
in twenty seven. In twenty-five
there were various disorders Of the
circulation-byuet de Soufie of the
neck. palpitation, disorders of the
digestion, slowness Of intellect, and
more or less marked taste for strong
drinks. In three the pulse was inter
mitted La eight there was found on
examination, more or less marked
diminuton Of the red corpuscles in
twelve there was rather frequent cpl,
taxis ten had disturbed sleep, and
four had slight alterations Of the
utOu~ i)i SibC VI Wv
which disappeared on ceasing from
the use Of tobacco for some days.
In children who are very well nour
ished, the disorder was, in general,
less mark ed As to the ages, eight
Of the boys were from zine to twelve
years old nineteen from twelve to
fifteen. The duration OF the habit OF
smoking was, in eleven from six
months to year, and in sixteen
more than two years. The ordinary
treatment Of an@mia in general pros
duced no effect as long as the smok
ing was continued but when this
was desisted from, health was soon
perfectly restored, if there wero no
organic disease.-BrtiSh Medical

INFLuENcE OF MARRIAGE oNLoNGE-
vITY.-The journal des ConnaiSSanceS
1nedicaleS publishes some statistics,
lately communicated 10 the Ro5 al So,
ciety of Edinburgh by DR. Stark, on
the effects of marriage on longevity.
1t appears that between the ages Of
twenty and twenty five, the number
ofdeaths among bachelors is double OF
those that occur among married men.
This inequality of mortality dimini,
shes during the subsequent ages, but
the advantage always remains on the
side Of the votaries Of Hymcn. Thus,
from the age Of twenty to the termi-
nation Of life, the average attained
by married men is 500 years, While
that Of the bachelor is only 40 In
other words, after the age Of twenty,
the former are likely to 1--we 10I years
longer than the latter. After the age
of twenty-five, the average age of
married men is somewhat more than
sixty, while it is not quite forty eight
for bachelors. This curious fact
shows that the chances vary with
every age, and that the nero fact of
our having attained "a certain period
is a sort OF earnest Of sufficient vital
powers to carry Us to latter age.

The FALL OF LEAvEs.-M. Trecnl
and othcrs have been engaged in in
vestigating the cause Of the fall OF
leaves, and their researches would
seem to point to the conclusion that
in many plants phenomenon oc
ours Just before the fall of tic leaf,
which is not unlike the process
which accompanies the shedding Of
horns in animala. Ii consists in the
obstruction Of the proper vessels at
the base OF the petioe or leaf-stalk.
This is caused by the multiplication
of cells, which first occurs in the pa,
rietes of the vessels. The cells in
crease and multiply, till at last the
vessels are completely chOked up 10
the neighborhood of the-insertion Of
the leaf and thus a differe inflated
plane is formed, across which the
ieafstaik breaks, and the leaf accor-
dinghy falls.

EDToR JoUKNAL.-I am asked many
times every day, if we are to have q
connection with the Troy & Boston
Railroad, by which the business Of our
people can be done by the old route,
and if SO, when the connection is to be
made Many of these inquiries are
made by mail and it is impossible
for me TO answer them all except through
the press. The public have an inter-
est in the railroads and their connec-
tons, and have a right TO have their
questions answered | propose to
make answer by giving brief state
ment of facts and leave the public to
draw their own conclusions. In the
last part Of February an agreement
was made with the Troy & Boston Co,
IN eract accordance with the proposition
! made last fail at Montpelier during
the session OF the Legislature, which is
briefly as follows
lst The Troy & Boston Company
were to give bond with satisfactory
sureties in the sum OF fifty thousand
dollars, to secure any judgement that
might be recovered against them in
the suit Of Knapp Il Briggs against
them.
4 ID The suits commenced by the
mortgages Of the personal property in
the state 81 New York were to be dis
charged and the causes of action releas-
ed.
81. All the property attached was TO
be returned to the Troy & Boston Co.
and all claims for taking property at
tached and removing it from the State
were to be released.
4th We we're to haul the wood Of
i the Troy & Boston Co TO the state Inc
and they were to haul for us an equal
number Of tuns O. iron, coal and luin-
Der over their road
i When / made the negotiation with
Judge prout at Montpelier (he acting
az attorney for the Troy 4 Boston Co. )
he assured me il this arrangement was
made a connection would be made at
the State Inc. and / have no doubt be
believed it, When the arrangement
was concluded in February last, the
negotiation on my part was through
my counsel, Messrs John H. Reynolds
and +. J. Phelps, and | was informed
hv them that If this arrangement was
made a connection would be made a,
the State line as soon as laid the track
between this village and the State line
The papers we're signed, and ! relied
upon the assurance given me by Judge
Prout and those given By my counsel
when the negotiation was concluded,
,ha, We should have connection. ]

JubGE POLAND Tie Washington
correspondent Of the Freeman re-
marks:
There was some surprise nsui-
tested at the choice Of the board oi
managers on the part Of the House.
] heard that one ofthe Judges ofthe
Supreme Court expressed bis sur
prise that Judge Poland was not
chosen, for lie said that his argument
ia tie Supreme Court on the legal
tender which be also said Was
the finest argument he ever heard in
Court--he showed himself to be re-
markably fine lawyer, snd one who
would do credit to any position he
might occupy. 1t Is certainly true
If Mr. Poland had been elected and
Mr.. Logan permitted to remain sim
ply a member OF the House, the man
ayers would have been very much
stronger and the proceedings and re-
suits might have been more satisfac-
tory. From this choice ofthe House
it shows how hard it is for a body Of
politicians to choose men for any SER
vice simply on account Of merit and
not to be governed by political influ-
ence.

fixed for the Presidents answer to the
articles Of impeachment. Application
was made by the Presidents counsel
for thirty days to make preparation for
the trial, but the request was not grant
ed. They then proceeded to read the
answer to the charges made against the
President The answer is very long,
taking up each charge separately. The
following brief statement Of the sub
stance Of the answer We take from the

The Presidents answer to The articles
Of impeachment presents no new points
but places The issues Of law and Of fact

JAY Cook ON THE national DERr
AGAIN Mr. Jay Cooke in letter just
published, gives the following reasons
why the national debt should be pad
IN COIN
Because, Nothing is said to the con
trary in the law creating the loan.
Because, The custom of all other ma
tons, as well as own, has always been
to pay funded debt in coin only.
Because, The debate at the time the
loan law was passed revealed distinctly
the mind Of Congress. The chairman
Of the committee Of ways and means
himself distinctly stated, at the time
the bin was pending, that the bonds
were, principle and interest, payable IN
gold.
Because, 4 provision was inserted IN
the bill for a sinking fund, IN coin, TO
be annually applied to the purchase or
payment Of the bonds
Because, The secretaries Of the treas
ury have all uniformly declared that the
bonds would be paid in gold.
Besause, The bonds werd sold to the
people by the authorized agent Of the
government on the strength and con
tract of this declaration.
Because, This Interpretation Of the
law was accepted by the whole country.
Congress, including Senator Shermun.
stood by while the treasury department
was thus, year after, promising to pay
principle and interest in gold, without
giving a single note Of warning Of any
intention TO repudiate the contracts ia
after years.
