At a recent meeting of the Royal
Society a paper on "Further expert
ments on the effects of alcohol and
exercise on the elimination of nitro
gen, and on pulse and temperature
of the body," was presented by DR..
E. A. Parks. 1t contained detail
ed description Of experiments made
on a soldier-a Scotchman-who
had been brought up on oat meal
and milk, and who at one time had
been in the habit of taking more
than a fair amount of whiskey. AS
a soldier, however, he bears the
character of steady man in the
enjoyment of perfect health.
His experience as to the effect of
alcohol is noteworthy. He COM
menced the exercise and brandy Pc
riod of the experiment with be-
lief that the brandy would enable
him to perform the work more
easily. but ended with the opposite
conviction. The brandy was taken
in four doses at 10 a. m., 2 D. m.
and 6 p. M, in an equal quantity of
water, and the work was chiefly
done in two hours Immediately sue
ceeding each dose, and from 6 to 8
a. NJ. The two hours work from
10 a. m. to IL m, Immediately after
the first foar fluid ounces of brandy
was drank, he thought was done
equally well with and without the
brandy. The man affirmed that he
could tell no difference, except that,
to use his own words, "the brandy
seemed to give him kind of spirit
which made him think he could do
a great deal of work; but when he
came to do it he found he was less
capable than he thought" After
the second four ounces of brandy he
felt hot and thirsty; but on the first
two days he thought he worked as
we'll as on the "water days" On
the third day, however, be had pal
pitation of the heart, and was sur
prised to find he was obliged to
stop from time to time, because, to
use his own words, "of his breath
ing not being so good"
The third four fluid ounces of
brandy, at 10 p. m, produced on
all three days narcotic effects i'm
mediately after taking it he became
heavy, felt the greatest indisposition
to exert himself, and could hardly
refrain from throwing down his
spade and giving up work. He
worked with no vigor, and SO the
second evening thought his muscu-
lar power decidedly lessened. On
the third evening, as it was raining,
he could not dig, but took walking
and running exercise under cover.
On attempting to run he had palpi-
tation and got out of breath and
was obliged to stop, so that he
stated, on the next day, "if he had
his accouterments on and had been
ordered to double he could not
have obeyed the ORDER" After COM
ing in from work on each evening
he fell into heavy sleep from
which he was reused with difficulty.
This lasted three or four hours,
after which he was restless and
sleepless.
The mans own judgment was, at
the end of the trial. that he would
prefer to work without the brandy;
and when asked his reasons, he
mentioned "the increased thirst, the
heaviness in the evening, and the
tiuttering at the heart"

The Discontented Traveller.

Since Mr.. Irving's picture Of
contented man, we have not seen so
graphic y portraiture Of an English
traveller which stands SO much in
contrast and which is SO true to the
life as the following from the Lon
don Times:
"Thc ordinary Englishman does
not seem to make tho best use of
his holiday-so say shrewd obser-
vers, and SO, too, the Englishman
himself confesses in many ways
"He takes his pleasures sadly"
His heart is always home-bound.-
Wherever he goes his first inquiry
is for letters and the news; his next
for somebody who will talk about
home things and old acquaintances.
1t is notorious that the real traveller
the man who wishes to throw
himself into new world, and be
himself a part Of every new scene
Of life and phase of existence-has
everywhere to break through 3
charmed circle of semi-attachcd
countrymcn, all dragging him back
to the home he would forget for
passing hour. Nine out Of ten arc
simply trees torn up by the roots,
pining for the dear, familiar SOIL
OF course it may be said that even
if the long suffering father of the
family finds his holiday one more
burden, his wife and children see in
it the only mitigation of their exist
encc. No doubt it is they who drag
him far away from his haunts and
occupations, and what they do with
such power of compulsion they do
with good heart. 1t may be admit
ted, too, in good many instances,
that the watering place is healthier
and pleasanter than London in the
late summer and autumn. If the
place be well chosen, the lodging
airy and clean, the weather favora-
BILE, the drains all in good order,
and everything else as it should be,
then the children, and perhaps the
mother, too, will bring back that
sometimes tleeting and treacherous
commodity, stock of good health,
the rose soon to fade, and the "tan"
soon to be washed away. But ma
ny sad experience warns us that
the summer holiday is the greatest
risk Of the year. Not only the place
and circumstances, but the whole
manner of life, is changed. In the
midst of unusual dangers, every sal
utary precaution and every rule of
the British nursery is neglected.
Wet sands, dry cliffs, muddy pools,
hot suns, evening chills, irregular
meals and other things utterly pro-
hibited in the home rule are braved
as if there was a charm in the air,
or the spot, or the salt water and
the sea-weed superior to all ordinary
Influences. Yet experience repeats
the lesson every day. 1t is quite IS
necessary to look closely after the
health of delicate women and chill
dren at the seaside, or on the open
down, as in a third-rate quarter Of
the West End of q fashionable or
questionable suburb"

his wife to give it up, but she did

All, Annie, thou hast gone,
Gone to the realms above,
Where all Is happiness and peace;
Where all is perfect love.

Who made our hearts rcjOice;
For He who dOcth all things well
Called; she obeyed the voice.
We know the child has gone
Where she is free from pain,
And some day, in that other world.
Well surely meet again.

Faded and passed away;

Mr.. Editor.--lt is quite long time since
anything appeared in your valuable paper
from this place, and / will give you a short
summary of the past weeks news:
On Saturday the /. U. of Good Temp
lers, held basket picnic in Kings woods,
and had delightful time till some one an
nounced that the hacks would not come
out to take the party home, which to those
who were unable to walk was rather un-
pleasant A couple of the young gentle
men were, however, equal to the emergen-
cy, and soon obtained a large wagon land
two horses from kind farmer and took
all home by dusk.
A Collision occurred on the N. G. r..
Road opposite this place, and it is said to
be from carelessness of the flagman of the
forward train, he having neglected to give
the signal. 1t created quite an excitement
here, and the river was soon dotted with
little boats whose occupants wanted to see
what damage was done. About % or 30
cars were wrecked, but no lives lost. A
sad sight was presented in this neighbor-
hood one evening this week, viz. a delegate
to the convention living near the grist mill,
beastly drunk and repeating to passers-by
that there was free bar up there, but
1t was the deDips 0Wn stuf. An appropri-
ate name. .H.'I.I
* There has been a number of cases of
cholera morbus here owing to the cheap
ness of cucumbers, green apples etc.
We would advise some of the young ladies
along back street to turn the light down or
close the blind, as it would not be policy to
let papa know, if the young man did steal
kiss occasionally. Fire matters are get
ting somewhat mixed here and we presume
it will be necessary TO re-canvas the town
in order to decide what kind of an engine is
wanted; hand or steam. No fires to report.

The following are the resolutions adopted

opments connected with the Evans swim
die we think the 9TH resolution had better
have been omitted.
FIRST, That we renew our pledges of devotion
to the principles of the Republican party, be-
lieving that their existence is essential for the
peace, prosperity and perpetuity of our coun-
try. Proud of its record In tn c past we point
to 1t as a guarantee of glorious future for our
government, so richly blessed by the fostering
care of Heaven under its management.
SECOND, That we heartily endorse the plat
form adopted by the National Convention at
Philadelphia, believing that upon its broad
base and sure foundation the Republican party
will rest securely despite the storms of partisan
warfare and internal dissension.
THIRD, That we point with pride to the ma
tion's choice for the highest office in her gift
ULYSSES s. GRANT, the soldier and Statesman
whose present administration has prompted
love of country at home and respect for her
greatness abroad, and HENRY WILSON, the
model of an American citizen, virtuous, in pri-
vate life and incorruptble in his public career.
FOURTH, Thatwe recognize in the candidates
on our State ticket, and the delegates-at-large
to the Constitutional Convention, ability and
integrity and patriotism, and we heartily en-
dorse the acts of the Convention as worthy of
the support of all good citizens.
FIFTH, that during the administration of
Gov. JOHN w. GEARY, the laws have been
wisely enforced, the State debt greatly reduced,
the material interests of the Commonwealth
cared for, and the principles of our party vim
dlcated.
SIXTH, That the policy of Protection to Home
Industry is of vital Importance to the public
welfare, Employment for the laborer, with a
fair remuneration for his services, and vigil
liant care for his interests should be guarded
from competition with half paid labor and pit
liable pauperism of the Old World.
SEVENTH, That this Convention submits its
work TO the people of this county, believing that
1t will meet their hearty approval, and earnest
| ly ask their energetic support for the trium-
phant election of all the candidates this day
presented.

Fall OF n Brldge.--The State Journal of
the 31st ult., says: The iron bridge crossing
the Connedoguinnet creek about mile
north of West Fairview, ON the road lead
ing from Oysters point across the noun
tain, fell sometime during Monday after
noon, while Mr.. Jacob Eslinger, farmer,
residing about mile from the mill, was
crossing 1t with four horse-team and a
load of wheat The bridge was three or
four spans in length, was built of boile r
iron; and was considered a safe structure.
The violent storm of the afternoon of the
4th of July, however, moved il out Of place,
and the Commissioners of Cumberland
county were notified of the fact, but failed
to place caution notice on the bridge.
Mr. Eslinger had reached the second span,
on the side nearest Heck's mill, when the
bridge broke down, throwing horses and
wagon into the creek, crippling some Of the
animals badly, one of which broke its leg
and had to be shot. Mr.. e. was sitting on
his saddle horse, and his little boy upon
the grain bags, on the wagon. Fortu-
nately, neither Of them were injured. The
escape was a most miraculous one. The
bridge win be hauled ashore and viii be
speedily renaired. us VI 5pists ~
