BEssEMER, the inventor of the new kind of
Steel, has undoubtedly been to sea, and yield
ed tribute to Neptune. The recollection of his
own sufferings has set him to studying pre-
tentative of the odious nal de n,er. He pro-
poses to hang saloons and state rooms on board
vessels in simbals, like compasses: but in order
to secure absolute rest from the up and down
notion which is the cause of nausea, it is nee
essary to put the suspended cabin where its
center will coincide with the center of motion
in the vessel. That point is usually occupied
by the engine, which Mr.. Bessemer moves into
the ends of the hull. He thus hangs his cabin
amidships. To prevent the tipping of the sa-
loon by the walking or rushing about of pas
sengers he provides hydraulic pressure by
which a single man can govern it as easily as
an engineer moves his machine. This idea is
being built into two new steamers for the Eng
fish channel service.

THE USE OF MORPHINE is increasing at an
alarming rate in New York, and we learn from
physicians that very many deaths attributed by
friends, in the papers and elsewhere, to other
causes, are the result of indulgence in NOR
phine. The other day prominent New Yorker
was reported dead. The telegraph bore tidings
of his sudden decease in every quarter, but as
signed no cause. An inquiry since set on foot
by friends has revealed the fact that he had be-
come as much slave to morphine as many are
to rum. He had purchased and consumed 10
grams few hours before his death l have
friend now lying very low from the use of this
dangerous drug. Twenty years ago an ignorant
physician gave it to him in large quantities to
allay pain He was brought to deaths door,
when skilled doctors rescued him. and gave
him warning that further indulgence would
surely kill him. Now, when once again brought
low, after having been nearly restored to health,
he confesses that he has been surrdptitously
using morphine, purchasing it of a well-known
New York druggist. His friends are so indig
nant at the latter, that they propose to prose-
cute him. There is a law forbidding the sale
of morphine to any one without q physicians
prescription. Such prosecution would I'M
questionaby have most salutary effect upon
the unprincpled druggists in the metropolis.
