In your paper OF last Sunday appeared letter on
the st. Patrick demonstrations, In which the
writer states that the anniversary Is celebrated In
honor OF the birth OF ST. Patrick the patron saint
OF Ireland. Herein your correspondent Is in error,

men OF every religious denomination as the anni-

in what was once known as the Isle Of Saintsn

alegory of want. He is always hungry. He is
always poor, out of luck and friendless. The
meanest creatures despise him, and even the
t1eas would desert him for a velocipede. He is
so SpritleSs and cowardly that even while his
exposed teeth are pretending threat, the rest
of his face is apologzing for it. And he is so

over his shoulder at you, from time to time, till
he is about out of easy pistol range, and then he
stops and takes deliberate survey of you; he Will
trot fifty yards and stop again-another fifty and
stop again; and finally the gray of his gliding
body blends with the gray of the Sage BRUSH
and he disappears. All this is when you make no
demonstration against him; but if you do, he

HYDRAMYL.-Dr. Richardson Of London has
been investigating a new anesthetic, to which
ne mas given the name OF hBdFdnU An ac-
count Of his experiments is given in the "Haf-
Yearly Compendium of Medical Science, Part
IN Gust published) which will be found in
leresnng reading even to those who never ex-
pect TO undergo any more painful surgical
operation than the disodging Of a tooth or the
lanclng of boil. DIR. Richardson was in the
habit OF using mixture of amy hydride and
recthed ether for producing local ana Sthesia;
that IS, by freezing the spot through which the
incision is TO be made by the rapid evaporation
OF the volatile substance spurted upon it in
the form of spray. H. noticed that when the
spray was used for an operation about the
nose or mouth the patient often passed
into state OF general insensibility to pain. The
steep produced was 50 gentle, so deep, and yet
SO temporary, that DR.. Richardson tightly sup
posed that he was on the track OF a most yalua-
bic discovery. He forthwith began series of
experiments IN order to ascertain whether It was
the yapor of the ether or of the hydride which
produced the insensDity, and it was not lonp
lill he assured himself that it was the latter
When inhaled it created no irritation, induced
perfect iusensibility to pain, and The recovery
from It's influence was singuiarly rapid. The
most interesting fact connected with ibe in.
haation OF this gas is, that in many instances
1t induces perfect insenSbity to pain and
leaves the consciousness comparatively unim-
paired.
DR.. Richardson has also been experimenting
with methylc ether In several cases the pa
tients although quite insensible to pain, were
aOle TO obey every request made OF them, and
some of them kept insisting that they were not
yet ready for the operation, because they were
entirely conscious, whereas the cutting was
going on all the time and they felt it not. One
lady took the anmsthetic and then pointed o5t
successfully the teeth which she wished to have
extracted, adjusting herself in the chair after
each tooth was drawn, and yer felt no pain what
ever. From this and other cases which came
under his notice the doctor very fairly assumes
chat sin the course Of time we shall discover
manageable and certain an@3thetlc substances
which will paralyze sensation only leaving the
