How Much Whisky
Will It Take to Make
an Ordinary Man
Drunk?


Reuben Phillips since the pub
lication of the Enquirer con.
tanning a card signel by his
name, but not written by him,
as he in effect acknowledges
We call tie particular atten-
tion 10 the wording Of that
card, partly because it is an
other emanation from The gift
ed pen OF the Rev. Harrison
Lyle, and more particularly be-
cause it denies violC nLIy what
we never asserted-that Phil"
lips told US Harrison Lyle was
drunk ON The occasion ref rel
10. What we did say, and what
our recollection bears US out
IN repeating, was This, that tho
Rev. Harrison Lyle spent the
afternoon with Phillips and
other boon companions in enc
of the saloons CT Allensville,
drank five or six times, and ai-
ter su per, at church, lined the
hymn, led in prayer and ex-
horted sinners TO repent and
flee from their wick ed ways -
This much OF or statement Mr.
Phillips says as true, and has
been made not only to us but
to others. To the statement
that five or SIX glassas of
whisky will make an ordinary
man drunk Mr., Phillips objects
and says he did not say 1t
| Our recollection is that he did,
but he asserts that he did not,
and is most firm in his opinion
because he says he could not
have said so, as he is sa isfed
! that that much whisky would
not make Mr.. Lyle drunh!-
This is figuring tie matter
down TO a fine thing, and We
do not know but what it is q
little worse for Lyle if we con.
ccde, on the groun Is stated,
that our recollection is ut fault.

public to decide whether, if

Lyle is true and is notorious

He had been an Invalid for some time past but his

The Remnants of the Six Hundred.

One of the Light Brigade, survivor
of the "noble six hundred" who rode
" into the mouth of hell" at the famous
charge of Balaklava, lives in Chicago
He entered the British service as a pri-
vate in the ranks, and served in the H.
dia and Crimean campaigns. He was
frequently promoted for his soldier-like
qualities until he obtained a Captaincy.
In the "charge of the Light Brigade"
he received eleven wounds, six of which
were severe enough to leave permanent
scars. His story is that the "noble
six hundred" when ordered to charge
for the guns, all thought they had an
easy task in the capture of few field
pieces. They never dreamed, he says,
of the 10000 Russians who were lying
in wait behind the batteries. Five hun
dred were killed on the field, and only
one escaped unwounded yet in spite of
the storm of shot and shell they spiked
the guns, and all that were left of them
found their way back to the British
lines. OF the survivors of this memoir
able charge, three are now in England,
two in Canada, and one in Chicago.
They each receive pension of 500 per
annum from the British Government.

ed cheek had tumefed and inhamed.
His nervous system had received such
shock that, even without the excessive
loss of blood, had diminished the natu-
raj resources for reaction. His sleep
was restless-and interrupted by terrible
dreams. We feared that even his strong
constitution would finally yield. But
no-his power of resistance was truly
extraordinary it was principally due to
his mental strength. This man, so
foully dealt with, would struggle and
conquer in adversely. He treated his
case from high standpoint of philoso-
ply. He spoke of it as of an historical
fact, avoiding individualism, and treated
it as another instance of the madness
that overcomes weak minds in great ma
tional commissions. 1t was sublime to
hear this stricken down man, with jaws
screwed together by surgical art, speak
ing through hole made in the appara-
tus that held up his mouth fast, not a
word for himself, but the words of a
sound philosopher who will not despise
human nature for the act of mailman.
With nothing but misery, suffering
agony, and with death staring him in
the face, he was calm, submissive, even
forbearing. All his solicitude was about
his son. OF the calamity to his fellow
laborer, Mr.. Lincoln, he knew nothing
for several days.
The wounds of Frederick created the
greatest solicitude. The brain was ex-
posed in both places in the anterior
one fully square inch of the MEM
branes of the brain was exposed to
view. A lacerated vessel on the in
terror surface of the Uranium would
from time to time bleed so profusely as
to put his life in imminent jeopardy,
and yet it could not be reached for u
lgature. We were constantly kept In
fearful apprehension of the hemor-
rhages.
With noble fortitude did that family
bear the anxieties and the fatigue of
this long and sad period. Mrs. Seward,
so delicate in frame, so feeble in health,
increasingly supervised all the nur ng
that required such fine judgment and
unremitting care.
Human endurance, however, has its
limits, and Mrs Seward finally sue
cumbed. The little flame that lighted
that body expired on the Dist of June.
Like her life, her death was the calm
ness OF heaven-born spirit.
Overcome by these multiplied trials,
her daughter at length sank into ner-
vous fever that consumed her. Her
body could not bear what her soul had
borne, and in years time she added
one more to the number of victims to
the terrible plot of Booth and Surratt.
The Secretary himself is now dead
After completing the history of his
travels around the world, at the age of
II, with only few days illness, his
mind unimpaired, peacefully breathed
his last in his own home, at Auburn, on
the 10th Of October, 1873.

The Nose.

This feature is said to be faithful
index of character. We are told that a
perfect nose should be as long as the
forehead is high, and have a gentle in
dent ut the top, between the upper eye
lids. The front should be level from
the forehead to the tip, which latter
should be neither hard nor soft. 1t
should be at least half an inch broad
between the eyes. Large noses are pre-
ferable to small ones. The hooked nose
is very unpleasant one to look at. 1t
is also called aquiline-perfectly arched
from the forehead to the tip, denoting
great energy, acuteness, craft, unscru-
pulousness, and ambition. A nose arch
ed near the forehead denotes great power
of command and energy. The owners
of snub noses generally possesses amia-
bility, drollery, and common sense. The
famous Grecian nose, which forms an
almost straight line with the forehead.
has been much lauded but such noses
are III women indicative of GOODNESS and
atfectation, and when owned by man,
shallow mind. Small noses denote
comparative weakness of mind and char
acter, though otherwise such persons
may be highly estimable. The tips of
such noses turned up denote busy, bust
ling activity, great self-conceit, cool as
surance, and great talkativeness. A nose
with a broad bridge, whether level or
arched, always indicates great powers.
Large breathing nostrils are certain
signs of mental power and energy :;
small, unmoving nostrils are, on the
other hand. certain SIGNS of little mind
and want of energy and enterprise.

MIND AND BRAIN.-The brains af
idiots have usually been found quite
small-often less than half the ordinary
weight, and in some instances less than
a fourth. But in a list of crania con-
tanned in a recent work by DR.. Flint,
one idiot is shown to have had brain
that weighed .33 ounces two others
had brains weighing little more than
As ounces the brain of another, of
the lowest degree of intelligence, -
46. 46, and that of one "below the con-
dition of a brute" ALB, or less than
four ounces below the normal weight of

was measured by Morton in 623 in

was that of a German the smallest,

Slightly Mixed.

Our neighbor Church was married
four times, and his wives were all buried
in certain graveyard. 1t became nec-
essary, ultimately, to remove the re-
mains of the dear departed to another
cemetery. Church himself was unable
to tell which was Emily and which was
Hannah. After doing the best he could,
he had the four graves closed; but, be-
ing a strictly accurate man, he felt that
it would be wrong to use the old head
stones when he was not at all certain
that Hannahs dust might not all be un-
der her tombstone. So, in order to be
precise, he had new set made with
such inscriptions as these "Here lies
Hannah Church land probably part of
Emily, who was born" &C., &c. "Sa-
cred to the memory of Mary Church
(who seems to be mixed with Matilda),
who was born," &C., &c.
" Stranger. pause and drop a tear
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mingled, in some perplexing manner,
With Mary, Matilda, and probably Hannah 4"
All the wives seemed satisfied with
this arrangement; but some of Church's
mothers-in-law considered that his sense
of responsibility as man of veracity is
altogether too tine.-MaC AdeIer.

The Atlantic National Bank ST

The Atlantic National Bank sus-
pended payment and was formally
thrown into bankruptcy en- Saturday
last. The Cashier, NE L. L. fainter,
confesses himself. . liefaulter having
stolen of the bank; funds in round
figures the sum, Of 100000, this
money having been used for the pur-
pose of private speculation by him
and in this manner lost. The magni-
tude of this dedication, for the mo-
ment only, draws public attention.
The frequent betrayal of such trusts,
not only on tho, part of private citl-
zens, and copoation officers, but on
the part of National, State, County
and town officers, has so accustomed
the minds of the American people to
startling disclosures of this nature
that for moment only is each case
remembered save by the sufferers
themselves. 1t is an evident truth
that withia the past few years there
has been a frightful increase in
crimes Of this nature, the only con-
ocivable cause for which is the fact
that the public has come to look.upon
this description of dishonesty with
Singular lenIency, and the laws, il
they do provide any adequate punish
ment therefor have in almost every
case been evaded, aud too often
through the influence and connivance
of the injured parties. The frequen'
cy of crimes of every kind is a sad
commentary upon the state of the
public morals and that the American
people are fast degenarating into a
nation of murderers, thieves, swindlers
and defaulters, in view of these fact:
is the only just conclusion.
