COURT OF COMMON pLEAs-specIAL Ieaa.
The Gold InjunctiOns.
Before Judge LOeW.


Heath ana Others ~. John =. UnderhM ana
Olaers ne President, Oucers ana Arbitration
Committee or the Ne,o York Gold Erchange.-The
argument In this case took place yesterday ON q
notice to show cause why the injunction heretofore
issued restraining The defendants from arbirating
on claim OF half million dollars made oy
Llvcrm0re 4 Go. against the platntins, should
not be vacated. The Injunction was Issued
on the complaint as already puDlisned, tne
substance OF which was that the claims were
false ana baseless that the Arbltrating committee
proceeding to adjudcate upon IT, ana II thelr
decision against the plaintiffs they would be ex-
peled from the Board. thereby nnrlng their stand
ing as brokers; that the chief witness and claim
ant was ,.ont OF the State and beyond
their reach witness before the committees; that
the claim was for only part OF the alleged diner-
ences of transactions OF the 25th OF september
last, and that the result OF the cOmmittees report
would be no determination OF the other alleged
false claims resulting rom these TRANSACTIONS; that
fun and fair examination Of the matters in contro-
versy could only be had before q court. Subsequent
TO the issuing Of the first Injunction, 1t being
doubtful whether the plaintiff had right to this
remedy while still acknowledged members OF the
Cola Exchange, they rendered their designations as
mentary complaint and 1t was claimed, therefore,
that having ceased to be members, the Gold Ex-
change ceased TO have Jurisdiction in the matter.
On this latter point the whole argument pro-
ceeded. counsel for the Gold Exchange conlending
that on the original complaint the Injunction would
be properly set aside, ana the supplemental COM
plant being In direct conflict with the original the
court could not regard it as a part OF the case.
The Court reserved decision.

Miscellaneous.
Fat or Lean.

Mr.. Banting has issued another edi-
tion of his pamphlet on obesity, and
brings down his experiences to May
last. During five years he has never
varied in weight more than a few
pounds, and he has even ventured to
experiment with the forbidden ele-
ments of diet, in order to discover
which was most productive of fat
These experiments have had a Curl
Gus result. al have ascertained, by
repeated experiments" he says, "that
FIVE ozs. of sugar distributed equally
over seven days, which is not one
ounce a day, will augment my weight
nearly one pound by the end of that
short period. The other forbidden
elements have not produced so extra
ordinary a result" Sugar is, there
fore, the fattener, and has the power
to make other food contribute to the
same result. Mr.. Banting's cores
pondents have, however, not all of
them had the same experience. Other
articles of food tell in an almost SINH
lar way on them. But the lean and
hungry may learn the same lesson as
the stOut-Cassius as Falstaff-that
the simplest diet which abOunds in
saccharine and starchy matter pro-
notes stoutness, while a generous and
liberal diet without them tends to di-
minish it.

Popular FOIIies.

Halls Journal of Health presents
fifteen follies for the edification of its
readers, as follows:
First-To think the more man
eats, the fatter aud Stronger he will
become.
SecOnd-To believe the more hours
children study at school the faster
they will learn.
Third-To conclude that if exercise
is good for the health, the more vio-
lent or exhaustive it is, the more good
is done.
Fourth-To imagine that every
hour taken from sleep is an hour gained.
Filth-To act on the presumption
that the smallest room of the house is
large enough to sleep in.
Sixth-TO argue that whatever
remedy causes one to feel Immediate
Iy better is "good for" the system.
without regard to more Interior eff
fects. The "soOthing syrup for ex-
ample, does arrest diarrhea, only to
cause a little later alarming convul-
sions, or the more fatal inflammation
on the brain or water on the brain, or,
at least, always prOtract the disease.
Seventh-TO commit an act which
is felt in itself to be prgudicial, hop
ing that somehow or other it may be
done in your case with impunity.
Eighth-TO advise another to take
remedy which you have tried
on yourself, without making special
inquiry whether all the conditions
are alike.
Ninth-TO eat without an appetite,
or to continue to eat after it has been
satisfied merely to crafty the taste.
Tenth-To eat a hearty supper for
The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1869-09-23

the pleasure experienced during the
brief time it IS passfrg down the
throatj at the expense of a whole
night of disturbed sleep, and weary
waking in the morning. -,
Eieventh-TO remove a portion Of
the covering Immediately after exer-
else, when the most stupid drayman
in New York knows that if he does
not put G. :, on his horse the mo-
ment he ceases work in the winter, he
will lose him in few days by pueu-
monia.
Twelfth-To contend that because
the dirtiest children in the street, or
highway, are hearty and healthy;
therefore it is healthy to be dirty; for
getting that continual exposure to the
pure outdoor air in joyous, unrestrain-
ed activities is such a powerful agency
for health, that those who live thus
are well in spite Of rags and filth.
Thirteenth-TO presume to repeat
later in life, without injury, the ihdiss
cretiOns, exposure and intemperance
which in the flush of youth were prac-
tised with impunity.
Fourteenth To believe that warm
air is necessarily impure, or that pure,
cold air is necessarily more healthy
than the confined air of a crowded
vehicle; the latter at most can only
cause fainting and nausea, while enter
ing a conveyance after walking brisk
ly, lowering window thus while still
exposed to draft, will give a cold in
fallibly, or an attack of pleurisy or
pneumonia, which will cause weeks
and months Of suffering, if not actual
death within four days.
Fifteenth-TO "remember the Sab
bath day" by working harder and
later on Saturday than any other day
in the week, with a view of sleeping
late next morning, and staying at
home all day to rest, conscience being
quieted by the plea Of not feeling very
well.

PrecociOus Children.

Children that are very precOciOus
when young seldom live long. The
forwardness of children to learn is Of
ten Indicative of a consumptive con-
stitutiOn, or an abnormal activity of
the brain. Such children ought new
er to be urged or encouraged to ap-
ply themselves to study. They ought
rather to be encouraged to spend their
time in play. If they devote them
selves to study they are almost sure to
die at an early age. Whereas, if they
are encouraged to spend their time in
play or healthful outdoor exercise,
they may both live to a greater age
and acquire a considerable amount of
knowledge besides. Mothers little
think what dangers hang over their
children, and what sorrows await
themselves, when they are eXulting
in the forwardness or cleverness of
their little ones. They little think
how soon their exultations will be
turned to grief. They little think
that the very smiles and praises by
which they encourage the too early
unfolding of the mind in their child
are fastening the ohild's death and
their own bereavement. We grant
it is no small pleasure to people to see
their children Out-strip others, but it
ought to be known that such pleasure
can not be enjoyed without great
risk. Let parents remember these
hints, and while they are careful to
afford their children an opportunity
Of gaining all useful learning as they
grow up to manhood or womanhOod,
let them also be careful not to urge or
encourage their children to over men
tai exertion, especially if the brain ap-
pears abnormally active.

The Constitution provides that any pro-
posed amendment must be ratified by the
Legislatures of three-fourths of the States
before it can become part of the Consti-
tuition. In the above list there are thirty
seven States.1 TThe ratification of twenty
eight is necessary to constitute the amend
ment part of the Constitution. Nine
teen Stares have already ratified it. Nine
more are therefore necessary to render the
complete. By the requirements
of Congress, Mississippi, Texas and Vir-
ginia must ratify the amendment before
their reconstruction can be completed
These three States, added to the nineteen
which have already ratified it, would
make twenty-five States, leaving six yet
to render the action complete
And the States from which these six must
be obtained are: Alabama, California,
Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mary
land, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey,
Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee
and Vermont.
