4 curious example Of the power of an
efficient police to create habits of honesty
is furnished by the official lists of articles
found and deposited at the prefecture OF
police in Paris, published once fortnight.
In the two weeks following Christmas eigh-
teen watches were thus brought in by finders
who had picked them up in the public
streets and squares, and fifteen watches
from the theatres, cabs, and omnibuSes.
Foity-nine purses and pocket-books were
returned from all these sources, containing
over hundred thousand francs. The listd
include a great number of articles of jewelry,
opera glasses, outer garments belonging to
both sexes, and no less than torty-four UNI
brellas. There are even large number
Of separate coins, ten and twenty-franc
pieces, the owners OF which it may be con-
sidered impossible to discover. The cause
of this almost incredible integrity may be
found, perhaps, partly.in the fact that no
man, on picking up treasure-troye, can feel
any confidence that detective in disguise
is not watching his actions. Then In the
case of cab-drivers, police agents very fire.

the articles which the drivers return are

property Of the finders.

RELATIONS or ALCOHOL TO MEDICINE
The report of the committee Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association on the relations OF
alcohol to medicine, submitted by DR.. John
Bell, chairman, has been published. The
report presents an exhaustive examination
of the subject, and in summing up con-
illusions opposes the popular theories as to
the value of alcoholic stimulants, and re-
CARDS the habtual use of alcohol: in its
various combinations of distilled and fer
mented liquors, as antagonistic to indi-
vilual comfort and health as we'll as to So
cial order and progress, and as the fruitful
source of long list of diseases and crimes.
4 striking idea presented in the report is
that the shock of large dose Of alcohol on
the nervous system acts like blow on the
head or kick in the stomach. Prussic
acid is not more deadly.

Judge Nat. Harrison

The following, among other chsrges, have
been made and can be proved against
this disrcputable individual. Ex-Governor
pierpoint is chairman of the committee of
the Wheeling Legislature which has charge
Of the subject, and will, We hope, cut of
his official head
First. That he has been guilty of taking
jurisdiction of causes in which he is per.
sonally interested.
Second. That he has unlawfully and cor
ruptly advised parties as to suits to be
brought, and as to the management and
conduct of suits in his courts.
Third. That he has used his judicial
power and authority oppressively, vindic-
lively, and corruptly.
Seventh. They charge him with wilful
and corrupt swearing.
Eighth. They charge the said Harrison
with drunkenness when on the bench. See
affidavit of Samuel Price, herewith submit
tod, and testimony of Benjamin White, to
be hereafter furnished.
Ninth. They charge the said Harrison
with habitually carrying concealed wea-
pons, in violation of law. Witnesses, John
W. Harris, Robert F. Dennis, and others.
Tenth. They charge the said Harrison
with violating the law in playing cards at
public places. Witnesses, Alexander Wal
ker and Lewis Ballard, and others to be
hereafter furnished.
Eleventh. They charge the said Harrison
with gross RIGHTEOUSNESS and adultery. See
affidavits in support of this charge here
with submitted Of Mamie Perkins, Jane
Reynolds, and Fannie White, and other tes'
timony to be hereafter furnished.
Twelfth. They Charge that the said
Harrison's conduct has been such as to de-
stroy all confidence in or respect for him
either personally or officially, upon the
part of the great mass of the people COM
posing his circuit, and that he is therefore
totally unfit to occupy his position of Judge
Your memorialists therefore pray that thu
said Nathaniel Harrison may be removed
from his said Office of Judge of the seventh
judicial circuit by the concurrent vote OF s
majority of your honorable bodies, ant
they will ever pray.

A good story is told of Tioga county
merchant who agreed to take a farmers
oats ut forty cents busiel if the latter
would let him tramp. the measures when
filed. The farmer agreed to it. The
buyer paid for sixty bushels and next day
went after them. The farmer filled the
half bushel, and the merchant got in and
trampled them down. Whereupon the
farmer poured the oats 80 compressed into
the bag. The merchant protested, and de-
manded that the measure should be filed
up after tramping. The farmer Informed
him that there was 10 agreement of that
sort, but that he might tramp down the
oats to his hearts content after they were
measured
