The most curious casa of .omuoD.
bulism we ever heard Of, occurred to
young lady in this city night hcforo
last. She resides in IL ncishhorina
state, and is visiting some hieuds
here. On Thursday evening thero
was a social gathering at tho hou,e Of
gentleman on Eighth street, to
which she was invited, anu during tho
evening she was asked to sing. Be.
ing an accomplished musician and
singer Of morc than ordinlry sweet
ness, she responded to The demands
OF the company for repeated songs,
until she quite exhausted herself.
The company broke up about o'clock,
aud at 2 o'clock the young lady re-
tired. In about an hour music was
heard proceeding from her roou.
II continued So long that one of tho
members of the family arose, and
upon entering tho apartment Of tho
young lady, found her asleep and
singing with all her power. She
tried 10 awaken her, but the effort was
unavaiilng. She continued to sing,
gong from one song to another, for
upward Of an hour, when naturo| seem.

ou'iS;s sank into real sleep. Upon
"waking the next morning sho knew

The Heroine of the Atlantic an American
Girl.

a Halifax letter, in reference to the
Atlantic disaster, says "Onc of the
romantic incidents Of this terrible
calamity has been the discovery that
"no Of Tho men, common sailor, and
whose Life, was sacrificed in ttlJ,ls to
save others, was young woman Of
about twenty Or tw cn,y .iiv" >cars "f
age. Her Sex was not known unlIl

vices incident to Il sailors life than IS
usual, but she was, nevertheless. aa

his liquor as regular rs any of us, aud

most singular part Of the whole story
IS that the woman was an American,
and was about tbc only one of that
nationality belonging to tho crew.
Who she was, andswhcrc she was from,

atrange !ifc Of hardship, never was
and never will be fully known.

How Drinking Causes ApOpIcxy.

1t is the essential nature of al
wines and spirits to send an increased
amount Of blood to tho brain. The
first effect Of taking O. glass Of wine
or stronger form Of alcohol, is to send
the blood there faster than common,
hence tho circulation that gives the
red faco. 1t incrcases the activity of
the brain, and it works faster, and so
does the tongue. But suppose a man
keeps on drinking, the blood is sent
SO fast, in such large quantities, that
in order to make room for it the
arteries have enlarged themselves the
increase iii size, and in doing so they
press against the more yielding aud
hacciI veins which carry tho blood
ont Of tho brain and thus diminish
their size, their pores, the result be-
lug that the blood is not only carried
to tho artor ies Of the BRAN faster
than is natural or hcnlthlul, but it is
prevented from leaving it as fast as
usual hence a double set Of causes Of
operation. a man may drink enough
brandy or other spirits in few hours,
or in u few minutes to bring on Il
fatal attack Of apoplcxy. ,
