Mehster,s Great Argument.

In the Spring of 1924, Mr.. Webster
was much concerned in the discussion
then going on in the House of Represen
tatives at Washington, on the tariff
One morning he rose very early-earlleI
than was his custom-to prepare him
self to speak upon IT, From long he.
fore daylight Till the hour when the
House met, he was busy with his brief
When he was far advanced in speak
ing note was brought to him from the
Supreme Court, informing him the great
case of Gibbons VS.. Ogden would be
called for argument the next morning.
He was surprised at the Intelligence. for
he had supposed that after the tariff
question should have been disposed of,
he still would have ten days to prepare
himself for the formidable conflict, in
which the constitutionality of the laws
of New York, granting steamboat mo-
noply of its tide waters, was to be de-
cided.
He brought his speech On the tariff
question to a conclusion as speedily as he
could, ami hurried home to make such
preparations for the great argument as
the shortest notice would permit. He
bad then taken 70 refreshment since
his mornings breakfast, but instead OF
dining he took moderate dose of medi-
cine and went to sleep. AT 10 P. NJ, he
awoke and called for bowl of tea, and
without ANYTHING else went immed ately
to work To use his own phrase, the
tapes had not been off the papers for
more than year. He worked all night;
and he has told me more than once he
believed he never on any occasion had so
completely the free use of his faculties.
He hardly felt be had bodily organs, so
entirely had his HASTINGS and medicine
done their work. AT 8 A. NJ, after eleven
hours of continual effort, his brief was
completed.
He sent for the barber and was shaved
took a very slight breakfast of tea and
cracker he glanced over the papers to
see that they we're all in order, and tied
them up he read the morning journals
to amuse and change his thoughts, and
then went into court and made his grand
argument, which as Judge Wayne said,
about twenty years afterward, released
every creek and river, every lake and
harbor in our country from interference
of monopolies. Whatever he may have
thought of his powers of the proceeding
night, the court and the bar acknowl-
edged their full force that day. And
yet, at the end of five hours, when he
ceased speaking, he could hardly be
said to have taken what would have
amounted to halt the refreshment of a
common meal for above two and thirty
hours, and, out of the sixty hours i'm
mediately preceding, he had for thirty
one been in state of very high intellec-
tusl excitement and activity Geo.

OCCUPATIONS AND HEALTH. From
paper read before the American Public
Health Association at Cincinnati we
take the following interesting and in
structive statistics
"The report oe the Registrar Generals
of England show very conclusively the
influence of occupation upon health and
longevity-the death of farmers at the
age of 80 to 40 was nine in thousand,
of bakers fifteen and of butchers seven
teen. The great mortality among butch
ers is probably due to the effect of the
elements of decaying matter by which
he is surrounded in his slaughter house
and vicinity. Mr.. Lombard exhibits
trades in relation to consumption. In
1000 deaths in each Of the different &C.
equations noticed the following proper
tons were furnished by this disease:

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.
Prof Wilder of Cornell University,
gives the following short rules for action
in cases of accident, which will be found
useful to remember:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing
dash water in them; remove cinders,
ETC., with the round point OF lead pen
Gil.
Remove distractions in the ear by
tepid water ; never put a hard instru-
ment in the ear.
If any artery is cut, compress above
the wound if vein is cut, compress
below.
If choked, get on to all tours and
cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold
water: If the skin is destroyed, cover
with varnish.
Smother a fire with carpets, &c. wa
ter will often spread burning oil, and
increase the danger. Before passing
through smoke take long breath, and
then stoop low; but if carbonic acid gas
is suspected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds unless your
mouth is sore; enlarge the wound, or,
better cut out the part without delay !;
hold the wounded part as long as can
be borne to hot coal or the end of
cigar.
In case Of poisoning, excite vomiting
by tickling the throat, or by warm wa
ter and mustard.
For acid poisons, give alkalies; for
alkaline poisons, give acids--white of
an egg is good in most cases in case
of opium poisoning give strong coffee
and keep moving.
If ia water, float on the back, with
the nose and mouth projecting.
For apoplexy, aise the head and body /;
for fainting, lay the person fiat.
