IDAHO WORLD.
MODERATE DRINKER.

AZ sMerchant Prince" of New York-a port
ly six-footer of great manly beauty, VINO never
dined without his brandy and water, nor went
to bed without, a terrapin or oysser supper.
and who was never known to be drunk, died OF
diarrhona-a common end of those never seen
intoxicated and never out of liquor. Halls
journal of Health gives this account OF his
death: =.
Months before he died-he was year in dy-
ing-he could eat nothing without distress,
and at death the whole alimentary canal was
a mass of disease in the midst of his millions,
he died of inapition. This is not the halt, read
err. He had been steady drinker, daily
drinker for twenty-eight years. Scrotula has
been eating upon one daughter for fifteen years;
another is in the madhouse; the third and fourth
were of unearthly beauty; there was a kind OF
grandeur IN that beauty; but they blighted, and
paled, and faded---into heaven, we trust--in
their sweet teens; another is lettering on the
verge of the grave, and only one is left with all
the senses, and each of them is weak as water
The same periodical instances another case
that should supplement the one just given:
A gentleman of thirty-fiye was sitting on
chair, with no specially critical symptoms
present; sill he was known to be "dlsslpated
young man." He rose, ran fifty feet, fell down
and died The whole covering of the BRAIN
was thickened, its cavities were filled with
fluid that did not belong to it, enough to kill
half dozen men with apoplexy; great por
ton of oae lung was in u state of gangrene,
and nearly all the other was hardened and USE
less blood and yellow matter plastered the
inner covering of the lungs, while angry red
patches of destructive Inflammation were scat
tered along the whole alimentary canal. Why,
there was enough of death in that one mans
body to have killed forty men. The doctor
who talks about guzzling liquor every day be-
ing "healthy," is perfect disgrace to the med
zeal name, aud ought to be turned ont to break

and has the characteristic antique beauty which
distinguished the woman of that Ancient Greek
colony She is said to realize the painter
beau ideal of female beauty and grace. The
most celebrated portrait painters OF the French
capital have offered to paint her, but all their
offers, as well as the less honorable ones OF
wealthy and dlssipated Parisians, who willingly
pay one, two, and even five Napoleons for a
little boquet, which has beeu touched by her
snowy hands, have been scorntuy rejected.
The girl is as yirtuous as she is beautiful. The
money which the sale of her tasty little boquets
yield her every day, is devoted to the payment
of the creditors of her poor blind father, who
was formerly wealthy merchant, but failed
several years ago. LA Bette Cerise this
name has been bestowed upon her BY the

"That's right; and who will own all this

AUSTRIAN WoMEN.-Women in Austria
peform the duties of bricklayers' laborers, and
may be seen carrying the hods of mortar and
baskets of bricks up high ladders. More than
this, they actually supply the place of ravyes,
and dig and wheel barrows of ballast almost
as nimbly as their lords. They chop wood,
they carry water. they offer to black your
boots in the street, and perform many other
little Offices which, according to our notions,
hardly come under the denomination of "wo-
mans work" Perhaps this state of things is
unavoidable in country where it is considered
necessary to keep a standing army of SOO,O 900
men. The women work Unfortunately hard,
while hundreds of idle men are constantly
sauntering about in various uniforms, doing
nothing at all except perhaps blowing cloud
of tobacco smoke.
