WHAT is EMBOLISM7-A MEDICAL Elk.
PLANTATION

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In your telegram on the death OF Napoleon H..
your correspondent states that Napoleon died Of
embolism. His definition of emboism is an
interlacng or the intestines. Such an idea
of embolism is entirely faulty, and the inter.
lacing OF the intestines is expressed by the
terms "intussuscep tion," or "inroginatlon. BY
embolism, in medic ine is understood condi.
ton occasioned by emboi or clot plugs forming I'm
the heart, and blocking the circulation In the
arteries. or impeding the action OF the heart ITSELF
From what as medical man, can CLEAN from
the Information furnished In your valuable paper,
should say that Napoleon died from the effects or
an anesthetc, and that the fatal syncOpe OF which
your telegram speaks, and from which no efforts
could arouse him. Is what every surgeon of expert.
ence has witnessed In cases where patients are
with great difficulty Influenced by an@sthetics.

The Law of Courtship.

We clip from an old paper the fol-
lowing account of trial for breach of
Ipromise of marriage: ~
GA case was recently tried in Rut-
land, Vermont, in which a Miss Mum
son recovered 1926 dollars of a Mr..
Hastings for breach of marriage con-
tract. The curiosity of the thing is
this:e the Vermont judge charged the
Jury that no: o:explicit promise was ne
cessary to bind the parties to marri-
age contract, but that long continued
attentions or intimacy with a female
was as good evidence of intended mat
lrimony as a special contract. The
principle of the case undoubtedly is,
that if Hastings did not promise, he
ought to have done so-the law holds
him responsible for the nonperform-
ance of his duty. A most excellent
decision; most righteous Judge, COM
pared with whom Daniel would appear
but a common squire! We have no
idea of young fellows dangling about
after girls for year or two, and then
going off, leaving their sweethearts
half courted; we hate this everlasting
nibble and never bite, this beating
the bush and never starting the game;
it is one Of the crying sins of the age.
There is not one girl in twenty can
tell whether she is courted or not
No wonder that when Betty Shippers
cousin asked if Billy Doubtful courted
her, she replied, 4 don't know exactly
hes sorter cotlrtin' and not sorter
courtin.' We have no doubt that this
Hastings is one Of these ssorter not
cortin' fellows, and most heartily do
we rejoice that the judge has brought
him to book with 1425 dollars YER
dict. The judge says that long con-
tinued attentions or intimacy is just
as. a regular promise. =. Now, we do not
know what would pass for intimacy
according to the laws of Vermont, but
|supposing attentions to consist of vis-
iting girl twice a week, and estimat-
ing the time wasted by Miss Munson
at each visit to be worth dollar,
(Which is too cheap,) Mr.. Hastings
has been making fool of himself IA
years and some odd weeks. This de-
cision makes a new era in the law of
love, and we make no doubt, will tend
to the promotion Of matrimony and
morality" '.'..sfa =

WINTER.
BY ELIZA COOK.

We know It's good that old winter should come,
Rowing awhile from his Lapland home;
IT'S fitting we should hear the sound
Of his reindeer sledge on the slippery ground.
For his wide and glittering cloak of snow
Protects the seed of life below;
Beneath his mantle are nurtured and born
The roots of the flowers, the germs of the corn
The whistling tone of his pure, strong breath
Rides purging the vapors OF pestilent death;
I love him, say, and avow it again,
For Gods wisdom and might show well IN his
train.
But the naked-the poor! know they quail
With crouching limbs from the biting gale;
They pine and starve by the freless hearth,
And weep as they gaze on the frost-bound earth
Stand nobly forth, we rich of the land,
With kindly heart and bounteous hand
Remember it's now their season of need,
And a prayer for help is call ye must heed.
A few of thy blessings, little of thy gold
Will save the young, and cherish the old;
IT'S glorious task to work such good
Do it, We great ones You can, and you should
He is not worthy to hold from Heaven
The trust reported, the talents given,
Who will not add to the portion that's scant,
In the pinching hours of cold and want.
Oh listen in mercy, ye sons of wealth,
Basking in comfort, and glowing with health; !;
Give whate'er you can spare, and be We sure
He serveth his Maker who aideth the poor.

the wife of a Cabinet Minister, Mrs.
Clay, chaperoning young lady from
the North, passed through a room
where gentlemen were playing cards,
Mr.. Clay among the number.
"Is this common practice? in
quired the young lady.
"'Yes,' said Mrs. Clay; they always
play when they get together.
Don't it distress you to have Mr..
Clay gambler,
"tNo, my DEAR said the good old
lady, composedly; 'he most always

"1n the winter of 1851 General Scott,
Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Bodisco
played whist once week for sometime,
the stake, as usual, being a hundred
dollars. They played a match game,
Scott and Bodisco against Clay and
Fox. They were pretty we'll matched,
and for a long time the game was pref
ty well matched, and for long time
the game was pretty even. At length
fortune favored Messrs. Clay and Fox,
and they were ten or twelve games a.
head. Gentlemen, said the Russian
Minister, rising from the table, the
game: has closed for the. season. The
appropriation is exhausted And sure
enough not another game would he
play, much to the disgust of General
Scott, who, of course, was a consider
able loser,'"'. IT, ,,.'.-. ........ i -..

We messed together, and that morning
