TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

1t is understood that an effort will be
made at the next session of Congress to en-
act law which shall put q stop for all time
to the open traffic in Chinese women for
vile purposes. Investigation proves that in
San Francisco alone there are 5000 of these
women who were bought in China, brought
to this country and sold for the purpose of
prostitution. Among the documents fur
nished as proof of the facts cited are sever.
al original bills of sale, giving names, con-
sideration, etc.

The series of trials arising out of the
Beecher- Tilton scandal began on Friday. 1t
presented the spectacle of q boy Of nine
teen testifying that his mother (now dead)
had never had improper relations with Mr..
Beecher. The trials yet to come will inev-
itably give the public much worse things
to read than this, and if there is any possi-
BILE way way of avoiding the disgusting
scandals now hanging over our heads, sure
ly it ought to be adopted. If the trials go
on, all the preaching from Brooklyn pull
pits will not compensate for the mischief
which will be wrought.-N. r. Times.

Thanksgiving for physicians usually
comes after the festival observed, according
to National, State and municipal proclama-
ton, by other good people. The malignant
turkey, the cynical cranberry sauce and the
sardonic sardine wreak their vengeance ON
their too admiring friends. Those who
loved them so much that they could have
eaten them, and did manage to worry no
inconsiderable share, are afflicted by the
COLLINS of the gobblers. Even the persna-
sive pumpkin pie has perhaps to be follow
cd by the pills and seclusion which are fire.
quently advisable after the oysters or the
lobster salad with which, in 'sthe wee, small
hours parties returning from the theatres
wind up the festive day For some little
time the pestle and mortar win daintily
wave. Thanksgiving comes but once
year, but hard on its heels, to console doc
tors and druggists, are Christmas and New
Years. Then again will noses grow red
from the nipping and eager air, and the
steps unsteady from fatiguing admiration
of beyies OF fair damsels, and again the
doctors buggies or sleighs drive merrily
about.

ed to Congress, which charges various
official misdeeds in connection with
the Judges judicial administration in
that State. They claim that he does
not reside in Alabama, but in New
York, and in several instances has
failed to hold court on the day assigned
for its meeting. Judge Busted was
not present during the session.
Notice has been made of the bill for
an Injunction filed by Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines against Caleb Cushing. To-day
Mr.. Cushing filed a bill against Mrs.
Chimes. He states that in February,
1861, she entered into a contract with
him to pay sums contingent on his
success in prosecuting certain causes.
She expressed her satisfaction at the
result, and promised to comply with
her contract. Under these. judgments
she recovered a large amount OF prop
erty in New. Orleans and damages
against the city, and by compromise,
etc, she has recovered large amounts.
He charges that by the express
terms of the contract he is enti-
tied to q per cent of all the proper
ty or damages recovered, and she
has refused or neglected to pay
the same or. account to him for his
share except six hundred dollars paid
his attorney, J. S. Whitaker, in New
Orleans. He further states that he has
recovered decree for four thousand
one hundred and twenty-five acres OF
land, and is entitled to a patent and
certificates for sixty-f0ur thousand one
hundred and Que acres. He, therefore,
prays for the settlement of the account,
and that she, may be decreed to pay
such sums as may be due. r...ssr

Sudden Death.

The sudden extinction OF that mystcri.
Gus principle called Lye is not an event
of uncommon occurrence. Almost daily,
we hear or read of some person TO whom
death came unexpectedly, y,-wi.houI pro-
.ractcI Illness, without great suffering,
and perhaps, without warning OF any
Sind The lower animals, TOO are subject
to tho same liability. The suddcn death
of horse, 4 COW. or some other useful
animal, is frequently reported in the FAR
,IEK and ether agricultural papers, and
but lew persons can be found who have
not known or heard oi some such instance.
Aside from accident, violence, &c, the
moSt common causes OF sudden death, in
the human subject, are Apoplexy, Aneur.
Lungs, aud Hlema OF the Glouis. And
although we know less concerning the
diseases which destroy our domestic ami
mails than we should, were the Intelligent
and skil!ul post m0rIcm examination OF
their bodies more common, yet. from
what we have thus learned, and from the
similarity in organization and junction
which is known to exist in man and beast,
it is reasonable to infer a like similarity
in diseased conditions; and to conclude
that the causes which destroy the one,
may and often 10 destroy the other. We
will describe these causes quite briefly.
l. ArorLExY..-This term signifies q
stroke or shock, characterized by the
sudden abolition or notable impairment
of consciousness. The respiration is slow
and sIertorous, (snoring), tho pulse is
usually slow, full, and hard, and The body
mo.ionless. These, aud some other
symptoms, watch may or may rot be
present, are produced by pressure upon
The brain, or some portion of it. This
pressure is, in most cases, owing to the
cllusioE Of blood but it may be caused
by collection of some other lluid, or by
the congestion or too great iul!ness of the
blood vessels. In fatal cases of apopleXy,
life is usually prolonged for several hours,
and perhaps, for several days; but when
the ellusion is sudden and large, death
may occur almost without warning.
.. ANEURsM.-This term denotes .
sack filled with blood, and communicat.
ing with IN artery, by the rupture or the
dlalion of which it has been produced
Writer'S on surgery describe several vari.
cites of ancurism, but it is enough Tor
our present purpose to say that in all
cases of this affection, there exists q tumor
filed with blood; that this tumor has
been produced, either by disease, or IN
injury Of tho Goals of the artery with
which it communicates; that it pulsates
with the artery and that, ii the artery be
of considerable size, and the tumor be
not destroyed by proper surgical opera
lion, the walls will become thinner by
