(Limited).
We find in the Inrestor's Guardian of
London an account of q meeting of
the stockholders of the Richmond
Consolidated Mining Company Linn
ited), held since the commencement
of the suit above entitled; on which
occasion the Directors were empow-
cred by unanimous vote of said meet
ing to refrain from making dividends
at present; an 1 a resolution was also
passed THAT SO much of the available
means of the company as shall he
fund necessary be applied to meet
the exigency of the proceedings de-
pending against the company at the
suit of the Eureka Consolidated Min
ing Company. That the Directors be
and they are hereby empowered, As
and when and for the amounts as
they deem reasonable, to declare and
make payable a dividend ; and to
avoid the expense and trouble of con-
vening meetings of the shareholders
for such purpose, the Directors be
further empowered to declare and
make payable future dividends for
such proportionate periods OF the cur
tent and following years as may be
found by them desirable"
The report of the Directors states
that 1.-THE accounts showed a profit of
ZIG, 900, as the result of working the
mine during the year. &c, 400 of which
amount was divided amongst the
shareholders in April last. when the
Directors declared a dividend of As.
per share. The remainder, 60. 900,
would be available for dividend now,
if the shareholders so desired. but it
was a question for them to decide
whether, instead of receiving a divi-
dend. a portion OF the $4,000 should
be spent in defending their grand
mine. The 18th of January had been
fixed for the trial, and the telegram
pointed to a speedy decision. which
he firmly believed would be in favor
OF this company"
The Directors also reported in favor
OF defending the suit at all hazards.
and the stockholders then unani-
mously adopted the entire report.

THEORY OF ''TAKING COLD. "-Profes-
sor Rosenthal gives the following expla-
nation of the pathogenic action of expo
sure to cold. Suppose an individual to
have been subjected to an elevated tenn
perature, such as that of ballroom or
theatre, OF to have engaged in violent
muscular exercise the cutaneous vessels
are dilated, and in a state more or less
akin to paralysis, and in all cases more
slow to contract than usual. If at this
moment the same person be exposed alb
ruptly and without any intermediate tram
sition to low temperature, especially to
a current of cold air, considerable loss
of heat will be observed upon the sur
face of the body. The blood which has
thus cooled externally comes back into
the internal organs and cools them sud-
denly; which circumstances alone may,
in an organ predisposed to disease, be-
come the active cause of some severe NAL
ady. The cutaneous vess els, on their
part, become contracted, driving out the
blood which they contained, and thus
produce kind of hyperamia, which in
itself may exercise a morbifc action
This cause, however, is usually only an
accessory one, aG least in cases where the
temperature has been much elevated.
The vessels have lost their tonicity, and
do not contract suddenly. But if the
danger from collateral hyperemia is thus
diminished, that from refrigeration is
increased. -ED1ToR's SCIENTIFIC RE-
CORD, in Harper's Magazine for May.

Habit and Disease.

Water, the natural beverage, com prising
at least two, fifths of the human body, is,
in proper quantity and quality, necessary
to life and to heaithful vital action. Is
it not reasonable to suppose that the
thousands of impure and poisonous
cohcoctions and authorizations of it that are
daily being forced into human stomachs,
would necessitate unhealthful vital
action?
If that drug, tobacco, which millions
use. and which produces such powerful
effects on the organism, is conducive to
health, what shall become of those who
do not use it? Per contra, if those who
do not use it maintain the best conditions,
what must be the case of those who do
use it? Surely, if in both these cases
health is maintained. there must, IN one
of them at least be serious tax on the
vital powers through the principle OF
accommodation. And not the less so
with alcohol and all other compounded
beverage, as we'll as all excitants, ner-
vines, or other special agents of grstif-
cation. If the simple food and drink OF
the Hindoo, Chinaman. Irish, Scotch,
German and Russian peasantry induce
one class of physical conditions, the
different diet of Americans must show
different results.
Then, too, if good clothing is healthful /;
that Is all that is necessary IN THIS direction
10 insure health, surely, bad clothing

must induce in some degree the opposite.
lfwork Is necessary health agency, what
is to become of those who never work :?
pea. contra. if idleness is recuperative,
how shall the workers maintain health :?
IF sleep at the proper time tends to
normal life. shall not midnight studies,
reveries, and debaucheries produce
abnormal or diseased life In fact,
throughout the whole range of nature we
will find, that opposite causes produce
opposite result. We will find, too, that
natures laws are peremptory, and that
we cannot violate them without bringing
into operation the self representative
instincts in an abnormaak~and therefore
painful manner.
But disease, in its essential nature, has
deeper significance than simply abnormal
vital action. 1t is really remedial effort,
not necessarily successful, but an attempt
to change existing conditions And for
this reason, improper relation of the living
organism to external agents necessarily
results in injury to that organism, which
by virtue Of its being selfpreservative,
Immediately sets up defensive action
and being as soon as possible to repair
the damages that have accrued. This
defensive or reparative action, of course,
corresponds to the conditions to be
remedied, and hence is abnormal and
diseased; and its severity and persist
ence will depend upon tho damages to
be repaired, and the persistence of the
causes that produced it. Serious injury
will demand correspondingly serious vita
action; dangerous state, energetic and
even hazardous action to remedy that
state desperate conditions, desperate
action. But in all cases the action il
vital, and an attempt at restoration, and
the energy displayed will exactly CORE
spond to the interests involved and the
vitality that is available. From Tn

The desire-whicL is an elevated and
eievatlng one-to honor the memory of
the good and great; and to commemor-
ate noble actions, should now take more
useful and practical forms. The same
amount of money wasted in steeples,
spires, columns, and monuments, if ex-
pended in the building of aqueducts to
supply pure water, asylums, hospitals,
colleges, public grounds, and gardens,
etc., and called by the name of the party
honored, would seem equally and inf
nitely more useful to attain the purpose
intended.
A college endowed to educate and
maintain free public lectures, called by
the name of Washington, would dc more
to keep his virtues and worth before the
American people, than score of monu-
ments, at places isolated to the great
body of our citizens, nor more than one
of whom in thousand, would ever see
one of them.
Now is fitting time to call public
consideration to this subject. A monu-
ment is intended to be erected to the
memory of Mr.. Greeley. Could his
utilitarian and benevolent mind inau.
ence this movement, he would say, make
it useful institution Erect a college
for the education of printers, and home
for the aged and infrm of that honora-
BILE profession.
1t has occurred to you, no doubt to re.
gard the fact, that the great body Of
printers have not enjoyed the training
and benefits of collegiate education
Many of them have but limited school
astic education. Taken when very youne
and rising by degrees to the profession
they are elftaught by what they set t.
type and what they read, ETC., but TIL:
is desultory and irregular, and lacks the
system and training due to their eminent
places and trusts in subsequent life al
journalists, in forming the public mind
and as its guardians in good government
and goood morals. - Science of Health.

EFFECTS OF BAD Gas. The injurious effects
of gas of an inferior quality, especially that
that is rich in sulphur compounds, IS not gene
rally realized. In most cases it is simply re-
rarded as an inconvenience, and possibly 10
some instances as injurious to the eyes, but
these are not by any means its most harmful
effects. In the evidence taken 10 England be-
fore a parliamentary committee engaged in ln-
vestigating the quality of the London gas facts
we're given to show its deleterious effects upon
silk and other goods. One witness, from the
well known establishment of Howell Il james,
in Regent street, testified that during the winter
mouths, when much gas was burned, 1t destroy
ed some of the more delicate colors used IN
dycins silk. With regard to metal goods he
stated that the gas deposits a thin him upon
them, and unless this is removed every day 1t
cats into the metal, so that the article must be
repilded. This neccssitates the use Of alright
cases for such goods. A Regent.street boot
maker gave evidence as to the effects OF gas
combustion products on leather, which he had
found perfectly rotten after having been expos
ed for a period. The witness exhibited boots
so acted on to the committee. The sulphurlc
acid. he said. could be tasted on applying the
tongue to the leather. He gave two inches out
of one pair of boots to DR.. Lethcby for analysis,
and his report was that the piece OF leather
contained ten grains of commercial oil of vltrol.
He had also seen wood which had been under
the action of gas for fifteen years. 1t was so
rotten that it could be picked to pieces with
the fingcr-nail. He bclived gas cNerted a de-
l~eterious influence on pictures, the back part OF
the canvas being rotten.
Now, while this produces such effects upon
these substances, it cannot be otherwise than
injurious to the tissues OF the human body; n
drop Of sulphuric acid upon the hand will iu-
stantiy lisorgauize the flesh. What must be
the effect upon the more delicate tissues OF the
lungs OF IL constant inhalation OF this acid?
Good gas is not only a convenience, but an ab-
soluto necessity, and inspections Of its quality,
not only illuminating power, but purity, should
be insisted upon and enforced by heavy penal
ties.-INe .lme1tcuM .MnNlNcturer.
