To CURE THE LOVE OF ARDENT SPIR-
Irs.-Captain Hall was the commander
of the Great Eastern steamship. He
had fallen into such habits of drunken
ness that his most earnest efforts to re-
claim himself proved unavailing. At
length he sought the advice of an an
cient physician, who gave him a pre-
scription which he followed faithfully
for seven months. At the end of that
time he had lost all desire for liquor.
although he had many times been led
captive by most debasing appetite.
The prescription, which he afterwards
published. and by which so many other
drunkards have been assisted to reform,
is as follows: Sulphate of iron, grains;
magnesia, 10 grains; peppermint water.
II drachms; spirit of nutmeg. drachm:
twice day.

NJ. Decaisne, of Paris, has lately
communicated to the Academy of
Sciences Of that city an lmpartant
paper on the modification which wo-
mans milk undergoes in consequence
of insufficient food, having untortu-
nately too good opportunities for
such determination during the starv-
alton period of the seige of Paris.
After detailing the particulars of bis
experiments, he sums up the results
in the following conclusions
I. That the effect of insufficient
food on the composition of woman's
milk presents great analogy with that
observed in the case Of ANIMALS. ?.
That these effects vary according to
constitution, age, hygienic conditions,
cts. 3. That insufficient; food always
give rise, within varying proportions
to diminution in the amount Of but
ter, caseine, sugar, and salts, while it
generally augments that of albumen.
I. That in three-fourths OF the cases
observed the proportion cf the albu.
men is in inverse ratio to that OF the
caseine, under an insufficient diet.
5. That the notifications in the com
position of the milk due to a repara-
| tive Diet always manifest themselves
in striking manner by the end o.
four or FIVE days. EDIToR's ScIEN

In 1866, General Crook swept the
Banks Of the Columbia River bare
of savages, and crushed forever the
power of the Shoshones, who, up to
that time, had robbed and murdered
at their own sweet will. No doubt,
some innocent blood was spilled, but
ths Civil War was too fresh In our
memories for us to indulge in sickly
sentimental.ty about the wards of
the nation" and stand supinely by
while these wards were scalping
and torturing the sons and daughters
of the nation, In 1871, General
Crook tried to crush the power of
the Apaches, and was prevented by
sentimentalism, embodied in the per
son of Vincent Colyer. In 1872,
General Crook has tried again, and
has been prevented by the appear
ance OF General Howard on ''peace
mission" Meanwhile, as our des.
patches say, "the Indians are now
masters OF almost tho entire country
of Arizona.

it was done, and by whom-and ono
gentleman pressed the matter so far
as to ask Presbyterian not in sym

''From mule, of course was the
reply.
The Joke will not need explanation
for those who know Dr. Robinson's
reputation for downright stubborn

1t is said that DR.. Robert J. Breck-

from an old friend, so that he might
pay his way cut here. Months and
months passed, and the unfortunate
Mr.. Sanford, formerly merchant OF
Liverpool, became disheartcned.
He lived upon the chnrity OF those
he met who spoke his language.
On the fifth morning OF last De-
cember, Mr.. Sanford renewed work
on little lot which he had frequent.
ly abandoned. On that morning he
discovered ten stones, averaging ten
carats each, which made their aggre,
gate value $1,000, or $4,000 gold.
His fortune did not abandon him at
$1,000. On the following day, he
was offered $4,000 for his lot or
"claim," as the English call it. He
refused, and that same night came
seeing Sanford the master of $780,
600, or 100000 in gold. He still
continued to work, but for several
days his toll was fruitless, and he
had began to suspect that his little
estate had ''gone dry" Still luck
haunted him, for, on the 10th of
lDeccsnber, he raised $4,000 worth
Of garnets and diamonds, on the Goth
he discovered $4,000 worth OF the
finest stones ever seen in that quar-.
ter, and, on Christmas Eve, he had
the greatest luck of all Fifteen
large and splenpld diamonds, found
on that day, brought him f35, 1000.
This was his last hit. Then the vel
low clay began to appear in his lot,
and yellow clay is a sure sign that
the diamonds are all exhausted. Sand.
ford returned to England with e65,.
