Tuberculosis and Cancer.

The correlation of these diseases has
been, according to the Lancet, for some
time past, the object of anxious thought
on the part of medical men. Facts have
so distinctly obtruded themselves on the
attention Of observers that the mere col
lection Of cases will go far to establish a
relationship between tuberculosis and
cancer. Among the most intelligent
ubysicians who have clinically studied
the subject b Dr. Bnrdel, Of Vierzon, in
France On the 18th Of May last he
read a paper before the Aeadeny Of
Medicine OF Paris, in which it is stated
that the diseases have been observed in
more thah one hundred families, both by
the anthor and his father, % whose prac-
tice he has succeeded. II was found
tbst parents affected with cancer had
children Who presented the tubercnlar
diathesis. DR.. Burdels memoir Is re-
markabie, not only for the care with
which tho statistics were collected, but
also for the sober manner 10 which iheoF-
izine is attempted The facts speak 50
forciblv that the profession cannot fail
to be struck by them.

what We Eat without knowing.

Some Sout erner on his summer tour
to the North has amused himself by fol-
lowing up the large shipments of white
clay. or hkaolin," which comes from the
deposit near Augusta, Georgia, and has
partially discovered what becomes OF 1t.
The clay is very fine in grain, free from
slick and of a pure white color. 1t is
said to be valuable in the manufacture OF
various grades of earthenware, but as the
tons and tons of il which come North do
not seem to goto porcelain manufactures,
our Southern friend has taken the trouble
to discover that it has become the stan
dard substance for the adulteration of
soda, cream tartar, calomel, white lead,
and particularly the fancy candies with
which we are all accustomed to imperil
our lives. All this is very interesting
If the American people have got that
bank Of clay TO eat before we can have
pure groceries or confectionery, it will
be well to keep informed from time to
time as 10 what progress 10 being made.
Nov that the thing is spoken Of many
persons will remember, no doubt, that
in eating pulverized sugar, bon-bons,
and especially white candies, there is
fEeGuontly left in the mouth something
clammy and insolnahle, with a taste
similar to the slate pencils which We
used TO nibble in our school days That
must be the ika0linn We hear of, II il
not particularly a hasardous diet,
little heavy perhaps, for a delicate
stomach, but not poisonous. The dis
couraging thing is that it is expensive.
The eating Of clay should not be denied
TO those who enjoy il, but the rest Of
mankind should not be forced 10 do so,
at the rate Of from ten cents to a
dollar the poupd.-Gersland Leader.

LONELINESS.

Sweet summer smiles; but not to me returns
The sweeter joys my better years have
Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns,
And ali the joys of life and health are
flown.
Starting and shivering in the inconstant wind,
Meager and pale, the ghost OF what 1 was !
Renentb some blasted tree lie reclined,
The winged moments whose unstaying speeu
No art can stop, or in their course arrest;,
Whose flight will shortly count me with the
dead, -, 4.
And lay me down in peace with them to
rest. aa.
Oft morning dreams presago approaching tate
And morning dreams, las poets tell, are true
Led by pale ghosts, enter Deaths s dark gate
And bid the realms of lighta and life adleu.
Farewell. We blooming fields! ye cheerful
plainsl ff :, -
Enough for me the church-yard's lonely
fff ia mound, .t ll.l
Where melancholy with deep silence reigns.
And the rank grass waves o'er the cherries
ground. .if roa
There let me wander at the shut Of eve,
When sleep sits dewy on the laborer eyes
The world and all its busy follies leave,
And talk with wisdom where my dear ont
lies. blul
There let me sleep, forgotten in the clay,
When Death shall shut these weary achiht
eyes; rr fta.
Rest in the hopes of an eternal day,
Till the long night is gone, ana the las
morn arise. . .gn

Defense of the German Coast.

From the New York World.l
The preparations for the defense OF
the German coast against the overwhelm-
ing power of the French navy are thor
oueh and extensive. At the mouth OF
the river Oder an army of 100000 men
has been stationed, under the command
of the Duke of Mecklenburg; at the
mouth of the river Elbe, Gen. Won Falk-
enstein protects the coast with corps
of IS, 900 men, while Gen. Hewarth Won
Bittenfeld covers the mouth of the river
Ems with another corps of 10000 men.
Besides these three army corps, num-
bering together 2l6,000 men, regulars
and landwehr-that is, militia organ
lied, drilled and armed Ike the regu-
lars-King William has called out
by proclamation the landsturn for the
defense Of the coast, which means a
levy en- masse of all men capable of bear
ing arms, independent of age. They are
called together, from time immemorial,
by tocsin, and when the bells of the
churches and other public buildings ring,
woe to the man who lags behind. He is
branded as coward for the rest of his
life, if he does not suffer on the spot Sc
verer punishment or loss of life. Old and
young will turn out at the very first
sound Of the bells, and the silver-haired
man of seventy will fight side by side
with the youth of seventeen. Even
women will then participate, not only
to take care of the wounded but to
carry provisions and ammunition to the
men during the fight. 1t is believed
that all these preparations will be eff
cient for the defense of the German
coast but, in order to make things
doubly secure, old hulks ofvessels laden
with stones are kept ready to be sunk
Immediately in the river and harbor
channels whenever the forts and other
means of defense are considered made
quate.
The Prussians hope thus to be able to
hold their own against any naval expe-
dition their powerful enemy may be able
to bring to bear against their coast with
its rich cities

COST OF MANUFACTURED ICE.

President Barnard, of Columbia Col
lege, New York, who has made the sub
ject one of so much examination and
study, as 70 speak with authority in rela-
ton to it, makes the statement that the
common belief in regard to the excessive
cost of artiicially manufactured ice is
quite erroneous. Its manufacture has
long been carried forward IN France, and
Mr.. Barnard asserts his conviction that it
can be prepared in this country at less
than quarter of a cent pound, and be
retailed to customers at the rate of twenty
dollars a ton, and then pay fair profit.
1t is to be hoped that the enterprise of
our people will soon take a direction that
will test the correctness of these views,
for in each succeeding year the ice trade
has become more and more an annoying
imposition on the people. Custom,
as well as our summer heats, have made
ice a positive necessity, and, knowing
that the people will have it, there seems
to be no limit to the rapidly advancing
scale of prices to which they are forced
to submit. A short supply is the ice
dealers harvest. At least that is the gen.
eral experience this year, when We are
called upon to pay exasperatingly high
prices for exasperatingly small quantities
of the article Much of what is sold in
Baltimore this year for ice is in reality
nothing but frozen snow, which dissolves
rapidly and has but minimum of cooling
power. Yet it is known that the supply
is very nearly as large as in previous
years, and that an article of good quality
can be obtained from the Eastern States.
The greedy and relentless demand of the
ice-dealer has already suggested combina-
ton among large consumers, which will
next year probably result in the manufac-
ture of the article being attempted on a
large scale.-Ne,O York Shipping List.
