that General Malone, finding himself
tlankcd by Mr.. Scott, has entered into some
friendly arrangement with that gentleman,
by which Mr.. Scott has acquired COM

be the fact, we think it more than proba-

EXPERIMENTS WITH WHIsKEY.-A
well known physician suggests the following
test for those who are skeptical as to the
effect of whiskey and other similar spirits
upon The stomach. Hold mouthtul oil
whiskey, he says, in your mouth for five
minutes, and you will find 1t TO burn
severely inspect the mouth, you viii
find that it is nilamed. Hold in ten or
fifteen minutes, you will find that various
parts of the mouth become blistered
then tic a handkerchief over the eyes,
and taste, for instance, water, vinegar,
milk, OF SIENNA; you will find that you are
incapable of Distinguishing one from the
other. Such a simple and easy experiment
as this ought to convince any one that
alchohol is rot only violent irritant, but
also a narcotic; for m this experiment you
have objective evidence chat it has
inllamed and blistered the mouth,
and for the time being paralyzed
the nerves of staste, and, to a certain
extent, those also Of common sensation.
Now this is not an experiment or fact
upon which any doubt has ever been OF
can be thrown and can any one believe
that the still more important internal
organs Of the body can be less injurious
ly affected than the mouth? Another
well-known physician says that even th'
moderate use Of such liquors, If long con
tinucd, and grown habitual, cannot fail t.
have ultimately a prcjudcal effect upol
the health, while it may be confidently as
serted that there are no circumstances o
ordinary character by which it can be jus
titled as beneficial or necessary.

A Louisville paper complains that
while the authorities of Kentucky put every
obstacle in the way of man who wishes
to commit suicide, it gives him every iaeili-
ty and encouragement to murder. Drug
gists are not allowed to sell poison to any
unhappy or good-for-nothing individual who
wishes to get rid of himself, and at the
same time to rid the world of his unproft-
able presence, but liquor dealers may fur
nish any amount of whiskey TO man who
is liable after drinking it to kill man who
is very satisfactory to himself and useful
to the community, while he, the murderer,
is left source of trouble and expense to
the community. The text of this little SER
mon was the hanging of man at Louis
vile for killing his friend while crazed with
whisley. There is some sense in the
"preachment." ~
