quarrelsome, but because be was too weak
to step out. This man was "tapeFed-e p
en- N ilk punches and gnogg for ten weeks.
The sedatives were applied for long time:
he required at first the services Of especial
attent ant, who did not leave his room Tor
three weeks. He was terribly emaelaied,
intellectually feeble, and neryously exhaust
ed. This was one of the worst cases that
ever came here, on sccountgof the mans
age and general disorganized condition.
he got along; however, slowly at hrst, put
in two months was able to walk two miles,
and in three months was completely cured.
That man left here threeIyears sgo, and Is
now an abstemious and much respected
citizen of Long Island"
Our, medical readers will see from The
above details the general practice pursued;
and they viii doubtless be surprised as we
were to learn, that in ten years time there
have been no deaths. Such result speaks
volumes in favor OF the soundness Of The
principles that govern all the operations OF
the institution, and the wisdom which Sc
lected one of the most healthy places in the
whele State for the asylum.
An insidious thirst for some drink that
contains alcohol, such as beer, cider, wine,
whisky or brandy, is now Inherited in
their constitutions by tens Of thousands.
Every one who has a parent, or is parent,
or is likely to become one, should realize
the fact that any deep-seatsd vicious habit
contaminaes the blood, brain and consti-
tuition; and the infection lives in the blood,
brain and constitution of natural offspring.
Hence, drunkenness runs in the blood of
some families; insanity in the blood Of 9th
ers; and scrofnla in the constitutions of
others. The physician who best under
stands the origin and life Of
any disorder, is best prepared TO
counteract and eradicate the same.
Inebriates lack strength of will TO resist an
ardent thirst for liquor, and withstand many
great temptations. At the asylum these
temptations are happily far removed, and
every effort is put forth TO develop self-con-
troll in the patient sufficient to prevent re-
lapse. 1t is exceedingly cruel, and almost
diabolieal, to entice by any means or in any
way, convalescent victim of alcoholic
poison into the snares Of his worst enemy.
1t is too much to say that this fascinating
poison kills conscience first and puts it out
of the way, and then, like dem on,
is ready to murder promiscuously?
Inebriety is now in the hands of calm sci
ence, and there is reasonable prospect
that this lamentable insanity will one day
be cured and banished from the land. If it
is not abased as public nuisance, it will
increase until drunkenness, with all of its
evil fruits, will segravate every vicious and
criminal prCclivity in human society. So
ciety is not dead matter that remains for
ever unchanged and Interchangeable, but a
living mass of moral beings, liable at all
times to be corrupted and ruined, and sus-
ceptible Of constant and inestimable inn

SOME FACTS FOR WESTERN FAR.
MERS To THFNTx- or


| MERS To THINK OF. F.
I Now that the Western farmer is in q
state efnomising discontent,the New York
World shows him some facts bearing upon
his condition, which he mayustudy
with profit. Foripstanee: 'rrhe price of
bushel of No. l white wheat in Cleveland
is-Z $l.s0, The price Of a pound
Of roasted Rio coffee is 35 cents, and of a
pound Of good yellow crushed sugar is 10
cents One bushel ofSwheAtl will therefore
buy 25-35 pounds of coffee or - pounds
Of sugs-. The price Of abushei Of No.
| white wheat in 1860 in. Cleveland was
Sl.40. The price Of pond of roasted
Rio coffee was 20 cents, and the price
Of pound of good yellow crushed sugar
was cents One bushef Of wheat
would therefore have bought 7ipeunds Of
coffee or l5-5-9 pounds of sugar., The pur-
chasing power Of the bushel of wheat has
therefore diminished, measured in coffee,
about pound and quarter, and measured
in sugar about p pounds. Why is this thus?
The Western farmer blsmes the railways.
But we have taken the price Of his wheat
Sat market as near as possible to'the place
Of its growth. lie also and more justly
blames the tariff. But one of the articles
we have cited is on the free list. The
fact is that the exchange OF wheat for
coffee and sugar is made with enormous
waste. The currency is inflated, and no man
can foretell its value for day. Gold fiuc-
tuates from u to 20 premium, and the ira-
porters make their profits sure by assuming
the highest rate as the usual rate and reck-
on 25 per cent. premium. The freight is
payable in gold, and the same operation is
repeated. The caItage, labor, rent and ex-
penses are al exorbitsnt, and for these the
consumer has ultimately to pay. And if
that consumer is farmer his product lis
not measured by the American but by the
universal standard. The price Of his
wheat in Cleveland is regulated by the
price of it in Mark Lane. If the farmer
buys cup of coffee at Delmouico's he
pays more for it, and must pay more for
it, at Delmonico's than at a little coffee
room on side street. And bis coffee
comes TO him now in the most expen-
sive way. Our fnar cial policy has made
this the most expensive country on the
face of the earth, as we will give one ex-
ample to show. In England the duty on
cofse is fully 81 cents apound. Here coffee
is free. And, notwithstanding, in London
a GENITAL of wheat will buy more pounds of
coffee than in New York. The price Of red
spring wheat in London is lis. Cd. Genital.
The price of roasted Rio coffee is Is. Cd. q
pound. A GENITAL of wheat will therefore
buy e pounds of coffee. The price Of red
spring wheat in New York is SPA for the
GENITAL The price of roasted Rio coffee is
So cents a pound. A GENITAL of wheat will
therefore buy 1876 pounds of coffee
over pound less than in London. Let the
Western farmer ponder these things and
direct his indignation against the rlghtful
objects of it the policy of the government
and the instruments of it which he helps to
keep in power.

THE Harrisburg Patriot, an cid and ex-
cellent Democratic Journal, says of the pc.
ntic&l situation of the country: "It is clear
that if the Republican party is to be speed
lily Overthrown, II the rings which now
control political affairs at Washington are
soon to be broken up, the Democratic party
must not only preserve its organization,
but must declare its principles without equi-
vocation and'with such distinetness, that
the people cannot misunderstood them, but
comprehend them without effort. Self-gov-
ernmsnt for the people of the States, oppo-
sition to every form Of monopoly, and the
overthrow of the corrupt rings which have
made-t the government of our country by
word and reproaeh among, the nations of
the earth, WIN make a platform broad
enough to afford standing room for all who
are willing to enlist under the banner Of
reform"

RADICAL CORRUPTION AND
FRENCH HONESTY.

The New Orleans PicGy1me thus con-
trasts the over-taxing and money-stealing
policy OF the Radical party since the war,
with the straight forward paying system
pursued by the French nation: "NothiDg
shows the difference in management OF
their fnAncies between France and the
United States, better than the depreciation
Of the currency Of the two Nations. De-
probation implies an inability to pay, or
distrust as to the integrity TO pay. The
currency Of the United States, taking all
things into consideration, is between seven
teen and eighteen per cent. below specie,
This is the State of the currency of the
United States eight years after the
close Of the war. Now turn TO
France. She has had 40 indemnity of a
thousand millions of dollars to pay within
three years. She has promptly met every
iustallment of this vast amount. Besides
this, there are the desolations by war of
ons-half, of the territory, and enormous
losses by the stoppage or overthrow of all
commerce, and the havoc of the commune.
Yet specie payments were but nominally
and temporarily suspended; and to-day
there is little or no difference between spe-
Gle aud paper money. This difference be-
tween the currency of the two na,iOus can
not be explained on the ground that France
is richer than the United States. When the
United States began the late war, they had
no debt. France had heavy debt, the
incumbrance Of two previous wars"
But Faance had no politicians in power
that appointed carpet bag thieves to office,
and created State debts by tens of millions
for stealing purposes. So many Radicals
acquired the habit OF robbing and plumber
ing Southern people during the war, and
living without work, that they have since
demoralized the whole nation. A large
majority feel and claim as good right to
make fifty thousand dollars year out of
the public crib as Gen. Grant has. Sauce
for the gander is sauce for any mans goose.
