DIR. Arld.e, one of the pottery inspec-

ible protest against a pernicous custom
which rarely receives sufficient attention
either from the medical profession or from

the working classes make tea principal
article of diet instead Of an occasional be-
verage; they drink it several times day,
and the result is II lamentable amount OF
sickness. This is no doubt the case, and,
rs DR.. Arlidge remarks, portion of the re-
forming zeal which keeps up such lively
warfare against intoxicating drinks might

sion otthis very serious evil Of tei ..ippling

additional stanzas, now published for the
tirst time, have been intercalated between

thrty-ninth section takes up the burden
of the famous apostrophe to the yew-tree,
which occurs almost at tho outset of the
poem (secton p. Thus it runs:
Old warder of these buried bones,
And answering now my random stroke
With fruitful cloud and living smoke,

THE EDSALL MURDER.
THE MYSTERY CLEARED AWAY.
ILLICIT LOVE AT THE BOTTOM OF
I'll l. TRAGEDY.

CHICAGO, July 27.-A little past three
on the morning of the 7th of October last
Barton Edsall of the firm of Hurlburt X
Edsall, druggists, was shot dead at the loot
of his stairs Mt his residence on Washing
ton Place, in the north division of the city.
Mr.. Edsall was a gentlemen of promi-
hence in business and fashionable circles,
and the manner of his death excited u
deep interest, which was greatly increased
by the apparently unsolvabe mystery in
which II was shrOuded. There
were three theories regarding this death I:
One, that hearing burglars In his house he
had started down stairs to protect his
property, and had been murdered by the
thieves, who aiterward escaped; another,
that in his pursuit of the burglars he had
accidentally shot himself; a third, that he
had committed suicide. At the inquest
the jury were divided between the two
former theories. the latter theory not hav-
ing many adherents. The matter had
nearly passed out of mind as one of the
criminals mysteries Of the city, never to be
solved.
DEVELOPMENTS.
Recently, however. some very startling
developments have been made The mat
ter has been in the hands of skilled de-
tective, and his patient labor has resulted
in working out great crime. No arrests
have yet been made, but are likely to fol-
low soon. The developments efectuslly
explode theories of suicide and accidental
shooting, and prove conclusively that Mr.
Edsall was assassinated, his murder being
the result of Illicit intercourse long con-
tinucd, and eliminates several women
servants and others of the household.
The name of the murderer is not given,
but 1t Is known TO have been paramour
Of one of the female occupants Of the house.
The exposure creates great excitement,
showing that the crime is the direct out
growth of iree-love and in quarter where
1t would least have been expected.

The Electoral College.

Hon. G. w. Willard, the member from
this District has introduced into Con-
gress new bill to regulate the manner
of counting votes of electors for Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United
States, which seems to meet with gene
raj approval and has been referred to
the committee on the Judiciary in the
House
It provides that both Houses of Con-
gress shall assemble in the hall of the
House of Representatives at ten o'clock
a. m. of the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary, 1878, and ON the same date every
fourth year thereafter, with the Presi-
dent of the Senate presiding. Three
tedlers shall be appointed, one from the
the Senate and two from the House.
The President of the Senate shall open
and hand to the tellers the certificate of
the electoral votes for President and
Vice President, and the tellers shall read
them in the presence of the two Houses
assembled
Whenever any question is raised in
regard to counting the votes certified in
any certificate, such question shall be
reduced to writing and presented to the
presiding officer, who shall state it
thereupon the Senate shall withdraw, and
the question shall be submitted to both
Houses separately for decision. AS soon
rs both houses have reached decision,
they shall re-convene in joint assembly,
and if the two Houses agree in deciding
that such vote or any part thereof shall
not be counted, then it shall BE-
thrown aside; otherwise such vote shall
be counted and no debate shall take
place thereon. This method shall be
pursued until all the votes shall be count
ed and no adjournment shall take place
only from day to day until the certiti-
Gates shall have all been counted.
When the counting shall have been com
pleted, a list of the votes shall be made and
the result declared by the President of the
Senate, announcing the names of the per
sons respectively having a majority of all
the votes for President and Vice-Pre-
sident, and declare them elected to such
onc9. If no person shall have received
a majority, the announcement of that
fact shall be made and the joint assem- |
bly, for counting the electoral votes shall |
be dissolved. Questions of order shall |
be decided by the presiding officer with
out debate, and his decision shall be final. |.
No question shall be submitted to the |
two Houses for decision as joint as
5embly.

The Destroying Angel.

The long, and dreary winter, has been
marked by unusual sickness and the
great number of deaths; the receiving
tombs were never probably made the re-
ception of 80 many of the sleeping dead,
as within the last few months There
have been frequent illustrations of the
solemn truth, 'AIan goeth to his long
home; and the mourners go about the
Streets" But death is no recent emf.
grant to our shores-the records of time,
are emphatically the history of death.
A review of the world, is but the vision
of dying men. The human race reSem-
BILE the scared foliage of an extended
forest-While the air is calm; single
leaves, are dropping here, and there,
from the branches-at length, a tempest,
or whirlwind scatters thousands in a
moment. So in human society-during
one period we see individuals from all
classes and of all ages, falling into the
arms Of death-theh come floods, confia-
grations, famine, pestilence, earthquakes
sweeping multitudes into the dark gulf
OF death, 1t is said to be a moderate
computation, which supposes, that more
than hundred thousand millions have
died since the death of righteous Abel.
What an affecting scene is dying
world? The destroying angel has been
commissioned to sacrifice all our devot-
ed race-he hath smitten the successive
generations with death-he is advancing
onward, over the whole field of earth,
and to us, the living, he is approaching.
Who, so lost to sensibility, and TO the
contemplation of the great interminable
future as not to exclaim, with one of old.
Let me die the death of the righteous,
and let my last end, be like his :" for
''the righteous hath hope in his death"
