TO THE EprToR or THE HERALD:-
The HERALD Of Friday September IL, contained
a letter from "a Lawyer" introduced edltorisly
thus: "ls Kelsey still living ? Some strong reasons
for believing he is letter worth perusng." The
writer OF the above letter claims experience, and
that he Is without interest or prejudice IN the mat
ter and then comes to the conclusion that Kelsey
should have been "locked up" or horse whipped:
that he never was MANNED that the legs found
were not his, and that probably Kelsey might be
stil living. To sustain these views Lawyer
cites proofs and makes his argument. Let US see
how far these conclusions are sustained by tn,
proofs in the case The first point stated In th,
above letter is that Kelsey vSas tarred ana leath

The Old, Old Story.

The hot season has come. The Presi-
dent has gone to Long Branch. And
now every Democratic paper is tceming
with the old story of seaside lolterings''
as full as though it were not a thrice
told tale as indignant "a though it had
not been contemptuously spit upon by the
people.
We are solemnly told that every nation
has Capitals if anybody questioned
it! We are treated to the formal history
of the proceedings by which Wash
ington became tie Capital of this
country-as if anybody doubted it
We are assured that the President
and other functionaries took up their de
parture for the new seat of Government
as if anybody denied it. And when We
get through this long and dreary chain OF
logical and historical reasoning, we are
expected to fall in with the conclusion
that the President ought to remain and
swelter under the burning sky of Wash
ington.
True, the President often repairs to the
Capital. True, he can communicate by
mail twice day and by telegraph every
minute. True, also, that Washington
used to spend a large portion of his time
at Mount Vernon, where he could not
communicate with the Capital as readily
as Grant can from the seaside. John
Adams remained for weeks in Massachus-
etts. Madison made tour lasting for
months. Jackson was absent for a large
portion of the season. Still Grant must
be denounced.
Cannot these cynics see that this sort of
stuff is played OUT? 1t was fresher a
year ago than now, but produced no effect
even then. If they must assail the Presi
dent, why not invent something new?
Say he killed his grandmother-say he
plotted to blow up the Capitol when the
Senate opposed San Domingo-say, even,
if Long Branch must be referred to, that
lie is bribed by the hotel-keepers to spend
the summers there-anything for variety

How Girl Helps to Clean House.

SHE is perfectly willing to help. She
tells her mother she would just as lief
stay home week as not, and informs
her teacher, with a semi-triumphant air,
that she has to stay home next week to
help clean house.
The carpets are to be taken up first, and
that girl, delicately reared though she be,
bravely sits down In the middle of the
floor and reads paper while her mother
and hired girl take out the tacks and make
frantic efforts to use the same form of
common prayer that the head of the house
uses when his boots don't come on easily
in the morning.
The carpet is rolled up and taken out
into the back yard and hung on the clothes
line to be busted. Now the girl comes
out strong and shows the latent energy
that is in her She SEXES an old broom
and starts toward the swinging carpet with
an air of determination. On her way she
spies her friend Kate passing and goes off
to the side fence to talk about an hour and
half about-well, about whatever girls
do talk about under the same circum-
stances Then she goes into the house
and eats her dinner and complains Of be-
ing tired.
In the afternoon she begins busting and
arranging the books in the book-cas
She finds, pretty soon, one of Ouidas
novels, and sits down on the floor to read
while the ink, from bottle she knocks
over when she throws her buster on the
table, Iuns all over the parlor curtains
stuffed under the chair near by. Her
mother finds her there, and sends her into
the parlor to gather up her music ready
for to morrow's campaign. She gets
along well enough with her finger exer
cises and marches, but presently she
comes across Don't be angry with me
Darling" that Robert gave hel last week
and begins to hum it. She opens the
piano to find the keynote, to be certain
she can take the high note nicely, and be
gins to sing. 1t don't sound well without
| the accompaniment that Robert thought
was so sweet, so she sits down and begins
to play. While she is practising Robert
comes along. He hears her He stops
He enters. She stops. He wants to hear
that sweet song. Came in only for that
She is too hoarse She couldn't think OF
singing with her hair tied up in towel
but she does.

proposes a game of croquet. They 90

which it causes in the contractile appa-
ratus of the walls of the blood-vessels, are
quickly followed by general fatigue,
which is only modified paralysis. Think
ing, as we have seen, is closely related
with the cerebral circulation. When, by
continual usage, the muscular tissue of
the blood-vessels has become gradually be-
numbed, the blood, in place Of its natural
ly rapid flow, circulates slowly and slug
gishly, and the functional energy Of the
brain is diminished But with a
new exhibition of the slim
ulant, the muscular contractility is
again stimulated, the circulation becomes
quicker, the brain, abundantly and regu-
larly bathed by the life-food, takes up
again its functions, the brain-power in
creases, ideas flow with greater rapidity !;
but the activity thus produced cannot last.
With this stimulation disappear the bril-
liant results which it had produced, and
tho organ falls into a relaxed condition,
from which only increased doses can tenn
porarily rescue it. One of the results
upon the brain is the loss of memory.
Many authors have noticed this fact. The
case of liable Moigno, the celebrated ed
itor Of Les M0ndes, is curious. He had
often been in the habit Of taking snuff,
which had always led to prejudicial re-
suits. After various temporary reuuncia-
tions, he had returned to its use. In 1861,
whilst engaged in some mathematical
labors, he took twenty to twenty-five
grammes daily, and found himself con-
tinually having resource to the snuff
box. The effect was rapid extinc-
ton of the faculty of memory. He
had learned several languages by their
root words, of which he knew from
1900 to 1900 OF each tongue, but he found
that his power Of recalling the words was
gradually diminishing, and recourse to
the dictionary became each day more
necessary. Struck with this fact, he re-
solved to abandon the tabatiere and cigar.
Writing, after six years experience as a
non-smoker, he says: at has been for us
the commencement of a veritable resur-
rection of health, mind, and memory; our
ideas have become more lucid, our imagi-
nation more vivid, our work easier, our
pen quicker, and we have seen gradually
return that army of words which had run
away. Our memory, in a word, has re-
covered all its riches, all its sensibility"-
