The Effects of Worry.

THAT the effects of worry are more to
be dreaded than those of simple hard
work, is evident from noting the classes
of persons who suffer most from the effects
of mental overstrain. The case-book of
the physician shows that it is the specula.
tor, the betting man, the railway manager,
the great merchant, the superintendent of
large manufacturing or commercial works,
who most frequently exhibit the symptoms
of cerebral exhaustion. Mental cares ac-
companied with suppressed emotion, occu-
pations liable TO grave vicissitudes of for
tune, and those which involve the bearing
on the mind of multiplicity of intricate
details, eventually break down the lives of
the strongest. In estimating what may be
called the staying powers of different
minds under hard work, it is always nec-
essary to take early training into account.
A young man cast suddenly into posi-
tion involving great care and RESPONSE
bility, will break down in circumstances
in which, had he been gradually habitu-
ated to the position he would have per-
formed its duties without difficulty. II is
probably for this reason that the profess
ional classes generally suffer less from the
effects of overstrain than others. They
have long course of preliminary train
ing, and their work comes on them by de-
grees; therefore when it does come in
excessive quantity, 1t finds them prepared
for It, Those, on the other hand, who
suddenly vault into that position requiring
severe mental TOLL generally die before
their time.-ChdnberS's Journal.

A Physiological Curiosity.

THE chief use Of the Eustachian tube is
TO allow free interchange of air between
the ear and the throat, and this is exceed.
ingly important; and Il is very important
also that its use in this respect should be
understood. Persons who go down in
diving. bells soon begin to feel great
pressure in the ears, and If the depth Is
very great, the feeling becomes extremely
painful. This arises from the fact that in
the diving-be the pressure of the air Is
very much increased, in order to balance
the weight Of water above; and thus it
presses with great force upen the mem
brane of the drum, which, If the Eusta-
chian tube is kept closed, has only the
ordinary uncompressed air on the inner
side 10 sustain II. 1t is therefore forced
inward ard put upon the stretch, and
might be even broken. Many cases. in
deed, have occurred Of injury TO the ear,
producing permanent deafness, from de-
scents in diving-bells undertaken by per-
sons ignorant of the way in which the
ear Is made though the simple precau-
ton of frequent swallowing suffices TO
ward off all mischief For, If the Eusta-
chian tube is thus opened again and
again, as the pressure of the outside air
increases, the same compressed air that
exists outside passes also into the inside OF
the drum, and the membrane is equally
pressed upon from both sides by the air and
so is free from strain. The same precaution
is necessary In ascending mountains
that are lofty, for then there is the same
effect of stretching produced upon the
m membrane, though in the opposite way.
The outside air becoming less and less
condensed as a greater height is gained,
the ordinary air contained within the
drum presses upon the membrane, which
is thus unsufficiently supported on the
outside, and similar feeling of weight
and stretching is produced. The conjurer's
trick of breaking a vase by word rests
on the same principle. The air is ex-
hausted from within, and the thin though
massive looking sides of the vase col
lapse by the pressure of the air outside;
and, Just as ever so small hole, made at
the right moment in the side Of the vase,
would prevent the whole effect, so does
swallowing, which makes little hole, as
it were, for the moment in the drum of
the ear, prevent the in-pressing or out
pressing of the membrane. Mr.. 1yndall,
in his interesting book ION Sound" tells
us how he employed this precaution OF
swallowing, and with entire success, when,
in one of his mountain excursions, the
pressure on his ears became severely
painful.-POpular Science Monthly.

prominently forward, and they justify to
the fullest extent the conservative posi-
tion of that portion of the Republican
press which has deprecated too much
speed in the direction of "kissing and
making up" We refer to the great
speech of Alexander II. Stephens in oppo-
sition to protecting the cOlored race in
their civil rights under the constitutional
amendments, and TO the sudden elevation
and as sudden fall of Caleb Cushing.
Luckily, Stephens was ovetthrown and
vanquished in debate by colored man,
and the discovery of one of his treasOna-
BILE epistles cooked thegoose" for Caleb.
But the lesson which these events incul-
cate is an excellent one, and one which
will not be lost. They show that while
the people are willing to be very kind
and gracious towards rebels, and North
ern traitors who winked at their crimes,
there is a limit to their forbearance.
There are heights of preferment to
which they must not aspire, and
positions of responsibility in which they
cannot be trusted Tie rank and

shake hands across the bloody chasm in
sort of Pickwickian sense, but man
whose education and training placed him
in deep sympathy with slavery-whose
whole habits of thought were formed in
tie dangerous school of States rights,
cannot be depended upon to carry out en-
tirely opposite theories. The effort of
stephens TO remand the whole question
of colored rights TO the States, and the
narrow escape the country has had from
the humiliation of seeing the Massachu.
sets Tor is it Virginia y Mephistopheles

that the dangers of too great liberality to-

away; while the earnest protests of the
people, with exceptions few and rare, in

in their hearts forgiven the follies and
crimes of those who were on the wrong
side in 1861. Loyalty still commands
something of premium.-ChtcdgO Inter-

Dangers of Miscellaneous Smoking.

THE Paris Figaro gives the following
details of an extraordinary robbery OF
jewelry:
"a Partisan, commission merchant, M.
Cohn, had purchased aquantity of jewelry
for London houses to the value of 10000.
On the evening of his departure for Lon
don he dined with number of his clerks,
who accompanied him to the station,
where he got into an empty compartment
of the train which was to take him to
Calais. Some minutes later four persons
entered the carriage, and, although he
would have preferred TO be alone, finding
there was no time for change, he engaged
in conversation with them, at the same
time keeping his hand on the travelling
bag which contained his valuables. On
arriving at Calais, the strangers disap-
peared. M. Cohn proceeded on board
the boat He was Immediately Joined by
person whom he recognized as one OF
his fellow-travelers in the train, and who,
after q short discussion ON the evils of
sea-sickness, offered him cigar, which
he refused. His interlocutor, however,
was very pressing, and rendered case of
what he called real Havanas, which Mr..
Cohn believes now, although he did not
specially notice at the time, was not the
same as the stranger himself had. In the
end Mr.. Cohn took cigar, and lighted
and commenced smoking it, when he at
once became insensible. On recovering
he found he w9s at Dover, and that his
travelling bag and impromptu acquaint-
ance had disappeared. Three trains were
about to start. A search was made for
both bag and stranger, and the tele-
graph was put into play, but without
success"

Not Entirely Forgiven.

DURING the past year or two, whenever
Republican journals have contended for
maintaining the organization and integ-
rity of the party, they have been assailed
by that traitorous portion of the press
which pleases to call itself "independent"
as overanxious to keep the animosities
engendered by the war of the rebellion,
and as constantly on the alert to find
"Ted- handed rebels" upon whom to wreak
their vengeance. The tendencies of the
times-the humane spirit of the age
have all been in the direction of clemency
The only danger has been that we should
progress too rapidly in the direction of
magnanimity. Probably in not another
nation under the sun would such grand
exhibition of clemency have been wit
messed. Great Britain exports her chief
political offenders to far-of penal col
onies. Russia either chops off their heads,
or sends them to fret away their lives in
the frozen regions of Siberia. Spain
massacres them with more than aborig-
inal barbarity. And so of most of the
ciDiiized countries. But we remove the
disabilities" which we placed upon the
traitor when our blood was up, and either
let him come 10 Congress or give him a
post-office Notwithstanding all this
kindness, there seems 10 be extremes of
clemency at which tie popular sense re-
volts, and the instincts of the independ-
entn papers themselves give the lie to all
their professions of forgiveness. There
is point beyond which the nation is not
prepared to advance in this direction, and
a step too far at once arouses that patriotic
sense which seemed fast lapsing into a
latent condition or dying out altogether.

Hints to HOrsemen.
BY PROF. D. HOWE GREEN.

If your horse is in the habit of kicking,
use low dash board, and your horse will
soon get over 1t.
Keep your horse fat; don't allow any
one to get lien on him.
When your horse refuses to take up an
oat, consider him as having failed.
To make your horse very fast, tie him
with two halters.
Never feed horse chestntits to chestnut
horses, nor horse sorrel to sorrel horses;
you can give cream to cream horse, if
you like and the horse likes it. 1t is not
necessary to employ a cream pitcher to
pitch hay to cream horse, however.
1t may answer to stirrup your saddle,
but don't stir up your horse-at least a
stirring horse-in crowd. 1t might
cause a stir.
Look carefully after the bits of your
horse or you may soon be looking after
the bits of your wagon.
If you have the proper address, you
may receive couple of lines from horse,
but on no account "drop line"
However we'll you may be attached to
your horse, you must be certain your
horse is well attached TO your carriage.
If a horse is recommended to you as
being a horse of good carriage, don't in
fer that he is a good carriage horse,
When you tell horse to "get up, look
well to his "get up" Some horses get up
within the buggy, and some get up with
out the buggy, but like deep sorrow,
leave their traces there"
A horse is something like public Off
Ger when he is installed, in this that he
begins to "feel his oats" directly, if there
are any oats In the stall. Whatever stall
you use for your horse In the stable, you
should always use head-stall when you
drive him. An unbridled horse is very
much like an unbridled tongue.
Rearing colts is often very profitable,
but rearing horses are not profitable, es-
pecially these who rear up in the rear and
execute flank movements on the dash
board with shoe-hy Accomplishments.
They "foot up" bill for repairing too
rapidly.
Harvesting a horse resembles getting
married, In this, that the bride comes
first; but you don't feel the bride'll reign
till you "get into the harness" and feel the
check Blind brides are most common
in both cases, and poor things in either.
You may make horse laugh by tick
ling your horse under the ribs, but ii will
always be in crowd of donkeys.
When you go to church you ought to
shed tears of repentance for yourself, if
you don't have any shed for your horse.

Commissioner OF Internal Revenue q. The resolu
tions in regard to the seating Of Mr. Pincbback as
Senator from Louisiana were taken up; an amend
ment was offered that z. b. Pinchback
be allowed to take his seat In the Senate upon
taking the necessary oath, and that the Committee
on Privileges and Elections subsequently consider
the grounds upon which his seat is contested, and
report to the Senate; and Mr.. Morton then an
nOunced that, since his argument Of n few days
before as to the validity OF the Kellogg govern
ment and the legality Of the Legislature in elect
ing Pinchback, and the General Government being
bound by the decision Of the state trbu-
State Constitution, he had received information
charging Pnchback with procuring his election
by bribery and Of conduct in connection with his
election which, IL true render ii improper for him
(Pinchback) to have seat on this floor. He there
fore moved that the credentials Of Mr. Pinchback
be recOmmitted 10 the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, and that the said committee have
power to send for persons and papers, and be in-
structed to investigate the conduct Of said Pinch
back in connection with the said election. Mr..
McCreery spoke at great length on the subject OF
Louisiana affairs contending that the Kellogg
government was an usurpation, and
denying that Louisiana had a republican form OF

The Wisconsin and Michigan State
Oranges.


In the Wisconsin State Grange on the 23d,
emment building double-track railway
from Chicago to New York; favorihg trade
with those manufacturers who will give
terms to Patrons, and refusing to deal
with any others, and to instruct the
State Agent to publish list of
those firms who decline direct trade with the
Order; Congress to authorize the issue of cur.
reHcy sufficient to supply money circulation
to answer the demands of trade, and obviate
the effects of the present panic; approving of
the movement of the Executive Committee of
the Illinois State Grange in interrogating Repre-
sentatives in Congress relative to the views en-
tertained by them on leading measures now
being prosecuted by Patrons of Husbandry;
asking the Legislature to pass law raising
the present railway tax from three to five per
cent; and that Commissioners be appointed
with full powers to regulate unjust discrimi-
nation and excessive rates of freight and pass
ecgers that railways should be taxed on their
gross receipts. A Telegram was received from
the State Grange of Michigan, in session at
Kalamazoo, sending the greeting of 500 Pat
rUns tIrn In seseios, aud tho -e~Ponse WAS
turned that the State Grange of Wisconsin,
open in the fifth degree, returns the fraternal
greeting of Michigan with cheers of hope for
the good cause everywhere.
The Michigan State Grange adjourned ON the
23d, after adopting platform in which they
declare that railroads are amenable to State
regulation as much as plank and gravel road
companies, and that the Legislature has as
much right to regulate their charges ms to fix
turnpike toll or the charges of mllers for
grinding grain. They declare that the
farmers have suffered more by railway
exactions than all other causes combined;
and that the railway corporations have out
grown Legislatures or defy them, and have
made the chosen representatives of the people
a matter of barter and sale; and they assert
that it is the duty of the Legislature and
State officers to investigate the matter of the
violation of the law by the various railway
companies doing business in the State, and
to promptly enforce the laws enacted
for the protection of the rights of the people,
and in cases where the present laws may be
found deficient to promptly remedy the de-
fects by new enactments. They also resolved
that no legislative, judicial, or State officer
should be allowed to accept free passes from
railways, and all offers of any special
privileges by railway companies to any
such officers should be looked upon and
treated as a corrupt attempt at bribery; that
tive, as farmers Of Michigan, regard the
organization of the Order of the Patrons of
Husbandry as movement of vast Importance,
not only to the interests of the great produc-
ing class of our country, but also in its ulti-
mate and highest objects designed and calcula-
ted to bless society at large" etc.

A Mercenary Corpse.

Here is heart-rending story from Louisi-
ana, portion of the country that in these
latter days is somewhat prolific in sensational
developments. Not many days ago a most
abject and poverty-strlcken woman called
upon one of the most prominent merchants
Of New Orleans, well known for his liberality
and kindness of heart, and after unfolding
tale Of misfortune and wretchedness, said
that her husband had died forty-eight hours
before. OF course the merchant was pro-
foundly moved by this revelation of distress,
and, when his visitor graphically said that she
was unable to defray the expenses of the
burial, and disliked the idea OF burial at
