SOME CURIOUS experiments have recently
been made in France to ascertain the effects
of wine, brandy and absinthe on fowls.
The result was that they lost flesh rapidly,
more especially those who drank absinthe.
Two months of absinthe drinking was
found sufficient TO kill the strongest cock or
hen. The fowls who INDUCED in brandy
alone lasted, however, four months and a
half, while the Winebibbers survived for
ten months. 1t was not only their health
which was affected by alcohol; their per-
sonal appearance underwent an eXtraordi-
nary change. An immense development
of cocks crests took place. The crests, it
is stated, increased to four times their orig
inal size, and assumed hue of unnatural
rightness-prohably on the same principle
that the noses of confirmed drunkards be-
come pIeternaturally large and red.

In transcribing the report of the proceed

in the concluding portion of Col. Matt.
Martins remarks which we are requested
to correct. Col. Martin is reported as say

the principles of 1861" whereas he said :

THE Knoxville Press and Herald states
that in the Federal Court in that city on
the Sth inst, one hundred and eighty cases,
known as quo acarTdntO cases, against par
ties for holding Office in the District of East
Tennessee, in alleged violation of the 18th
Constitutional Amendment, were dismissed
by order of the court, at the cost of the
Government. The recent amnesty act
rendered such action on the part of the
court and the District Attorney, proper, and
malice is thus defeated of its long-enjoyed
persecution.

The owner of lively little poodle dog,
ranging fer the most part through Deader-
lex street, has lately come to the conclusion
that the natural colors of the animal were
not sufficiently brilliant, and therefore re-
sorted to the use of the paint brush to sup
ply the supposed omission. Owing to
this determination on the part of the owner,
poodle now appears with sky blue head
aud bushy tail of fiery red, making other
dogs envious of his beauty and causing fire.
quent Inquiry as to whether nature or art
is responsible for Fido's present unusual
colors. The owner readily gives informa-
ton on the subject, but steadily refuses to
paint the dog of any body else.

sympathy, tut beyond expressions of this

A POOR lame boy was walking along one
ofthe muddy and filthy streets of the city
irving to find a suitable place to cross. The
heavy rains had fallen, and the streets were
very deep with mud and water. While
waiting, another lad saw him and cried out,
.sStop! stopl I'll carry you oveIp In a mo-
ment be gladly took the little cripple in his
arms and carried him over to The other side
of the street. In doing so he got wet and
muddy; but he did not mind that, for he
felt amply repaid by the inward reward
which bis heart gave him. The lame hoy
smiled gratefully and thanked him kindly.

path you can cary over to the solid ground
of total abstinence, if you but extend the
fraternal hand of sympathy and love, help

of peace He that 'giveth a cup of cold
water only" shall in no wise lose his re-

The Railroad BIockade of streets.

In regard to published statement touch.
ing the occasional blockade of streets
crossed by trains of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, gentlemen employed
at the depot assure us that the utmost pre-
caution is taken to prevent cause for com
plant in this report. Under ordinary cir
cumstances trains are not allowed to remain
for any length of time upon the streets,
and only do so in consequence of occasional
unavoidable detention. Under the new
arrangement just now going into effect, it is
hoped that such occurrences may be placed
beyond the pale of possibility.

Serious Accident.

Last night M. H. Vannatta, bus driver,
and J. r. q. Bowman, checkman of the
City Transfer company, met with serious
accident at the railroad trestle crossing on
North Cherry street. Being seated on the
bus they were caught between it and the
trestle while driving under the trestle, aud
badly injured. Vannatta had two ribs
broken and his chest mashed. Bowman's
shoulder was dislocated, and it is thought
Vanna5ta sustained internal injury that
may prove fatal. We regret to learn of
this accident, which was caused by the
street having been recently filed or raised
under the trestle. 1t would be well to cut
il down or else have the tTestle made
higher.

Tuesday morning when the passenger
train of the Northwestern Railroad was
near Camden, the cow catcher of the engine
struck a man sitting on the track and
turned him a somersault of several feet into
ditch. Though severely struck, no inju.
ries of a serious kind were produced, some
thing remarkable when we consider that
the force of the concussion, by reason OF
the speed of the train must have been
enou2ht to kill almost anybody.
