THE British Medical Journal asks how
persons who are mysteriously robbed
can be rendered instantaneously insen-
sible by chloroform and other anesthetic
vapors. The Journal says that men of
science are unacquainted with instanta-
neous methods OF producing anTsthesia,
as it is well known that it is a slow pro-
cess to produce insensibility by means
of evaporating any known fluid from a
pocket-handkerchief even when aided
by the ready and intelligent cooperation
of the subject. Under these crrcum-
stances, the Medical Journal thinks that
it is hard to suppose that thieves have
acquired knowledge of secret beyond
the skill of men of science.

The New York Democrat states that
real estate in that city and in the suburbs
was never duller than at present, and
there seems little or no prospect of i'm
provement. It states that rents and
prices of houses are coming down to the
specie standard the same as everything
else, and that the decline in rents aver
ages fifteen per cent. as compared with
last year. The prices of houses and
lots also exhibit corresponding decline
At the auction sales of real estate there
are very few bona fde transactions, I'M
less at a very heavy reduction as com
pared with last year.

AK exchange says; During the
present Congress seventy-eight thousand
dollars have been paid to contestants for
seats; and twenty-eight thousand dol
lars for costs relating to the same trans
actions. The heavy expense was put
upon the country in order that the Rad
ieals might retain power in opposi-
ton TO the will of the people. Prosser
and others are preparing to renew the
same game in the next Congress,
Now, if all the defeated Radical candi-
dates for Congress in all the States con-
clude to contest the seats Of Democrats,
and appropriation is made to pay them,
a right smart hole will be made in the
Government pile of greenbacks. Ten
nessee's defeated patriots will contest, OF

A REPUBLICAN, journal that opposes
the financial policy Of Boutwell,, de-
elares that for some years the Treasury
Department has made war upon al Dor
rowers of money, all payers Of interest,
all who we're in debt, all who had labor
to sell, and, in fact, against great ma
iority of our total population" The
result Of this financial policy, the same
authority tells, is that " on every hand
are heard complaints Of the scarcity of
currency" and that the productive
forces Of society lauguish for want Of it. "

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE Fo0T OF BROAD
SrREEr.-Under the special appropriation OF
saooo made last year by the City Council, the
work OF making wall or pleasure ground out OF
the old popd enclosed by Brc ID, Rulledge Beau.
fain and Lynch streets, Is rapidly progressing.
This pond was bequeathed to the city on the ex-
press condition that it.should be pusto this use,
and some action on the part OF the City Council
was necessary to conform to the condition OF the
devise, and prevent It's going over to some one
else In the alternative. The present small appro.
priation Is being judlclously expended, under the
direction and supervision Of Alderman Potter,
who Is chairman Of the committee, and the re-
suits are plainly perceptible In the changed ap-
pearance OF things on the pond. large number
of luborers are employed, who, by means OF o
nsrrow pathway OF boards laid upon the yielding
and treacherous mud, make their way with wheel.
barrow and spade to the centre Of the pond.. The
mud Is then dug and transported in the wheel
barrows to the edge, where Il Is deposited This
work has been in progress for some five or six
weeks, and solid embankment, fully thirty feet
wlde has been thrown up on level
with the sidewalk along part OF Broad and Rut-
ledge streets. At first, it was intended to make
this embankment one hundred feet Wide along
each OF the enclosing streets, having beautiful
sheet OF water lu the centre Of the square; but as
the present appropriation g much too small to &C.
complsh this. and the city is not over.rich, the
size OF the embankment has been decreased and
that OF the shee. OF water proportionably tncreas-
ed The mud, wheR hardened by exposure to the
sun, will make very firm foundation, on which
earth will be thrown to insure the production OF
trees, grass and shrubbery. The lake in the CEN
tire is also to bebut that is all in the future The
intention is to makeita pleasant promenade for
the citizens and charming playground for the
young people OF the city. Under future approprl-
ations we may look to see this accomplished, and
the present generation which toddles about with
doll.babes and short frocks may live to take q
lovers promenade by moonlight over this promis
ing eXpanse Of mud.
