The Effects Of Smoking upon the
Blood and Brains.

SAYS the London Lancet. what in
lures or enfeebles the blood must as
matter of course, affect the health and
activity of the brain. IT. then, we as
certain the physiological effect Of tobacco
upon the life-huid, we shall be In fair
way of deciding the question, especially
IL we find individual cases confirming
the views thus arrived at. There Is no
thing stronger in medical evidence than
the agreement of physiology. DIR. Rich
ardson has so..clearly explained the infu-
ence Of smoking upon the blood, that il
will be best to quote his graphic account.
His scientific cminence entities his evil
dence to respect, and lovers of the weed
must recollect that il Is smoker TO
the continued inhalation Of tobacco pro-
duces changes which arc very marked
in character. The fluid is thinner than Is
natural, and in extreme cases paler. In
such instances the deficient color Of the
blood Is communicated to the body al
together, rendering its external surface
yellowish, white and puffy. The blood
being thin, also exudes, and cut surface
bleeds for a long time, aud may contin-
ue To bleed inconviently, even In oppo-
sition to remedies. But the most i'm
portant change is exerted on those little
bodies which float in myriads in the
blood and are known as the red globules.
Those globules have naturally q double
concave surface. aud at their edges a
perfectly smooth outline. They are very
soluble in alkshcs, and are subject TO
change Of shape and character, when the
quality of the fluid in which they foat
Is modified in respect to density. The
absorption, therefore, of the fumes OF
tobacco necessarily leads to rapid
changes in them they lose their shapes,
they become oval and irregular at their
edges, and instead Of having mutual
attraction for each other aud running
together, a good sign Of physical health,
they lie loosely scattered before the eve,
and indicate to the learned observer, as
clearly as though they spoke to him and
said the words, that the man from whom
they were taken is physically depressed
and deplorably deficient both in muscu.
lar and mental power. Tobacco modi.
fies the circulation in the brain as in
other portions OF the body. Hence H.
would be remarkable indeed IL IL did
not exercise some influence upon the
mechanism OF thought.

If the compromise Of the case affects the
eredlbility of his story one iota in the
opinion of candid people Il gives Miss
Proctor formal vindication, and nobody
begrudges il to her. But Moulton's de-
claratiou, that Beecher confessed to him

result OF in the course OF this suit.-Npriag-

how can any mortal, not paid to shut his
eyes to the truth maintain that tie creli-
bility Of Moulton's story is not affected one
iota by thi, conviction for libel? Moulton
now Acknowledges that there was no truth
IN the story he printed about Miss Proctor.
To believe his story now, therefore. is to
believe that Mr. Beecher invented a false
tale OF his own crime. which be related to
Mr. and Mrs. Moulton with shameless rar-
ticularity. We should suppose this would
be little too strong for any decent, not TO
say candid person, to swallow. 1t might
be possible, it iros possible, for "candid

THRILLING RAu.,tD AcoruENT.-What
narrowly escaped being terribly fatal
railroad accident, occurred on the Orange
and Alexandria railroad, near Rapidan, Va,
Monday. An engine of a passenger train
had become disabled, and stopped for re-
pairs. when freight train following, which
had not been properly tagged, came thun-
dering along. and the engine dashed into
the rear ear, q Pullman sleeping car, of the
passenger train, firmly imbedding itself
three or four feet and breaking the con-
nection between the sleeping car and
the ladies' car next ahead. Previously the
engineer of the passenger train, selng the
freight train approaching, turned steam on
his engine Just before the collision, and.
with the fireman jumped TO the ground.
The engine with the dragging smoking
car and ladies' car. shot ahead down the
grade at the rate of Is miles an hour without
an engineer, fireman, or conductor TO man
age it. The baggage and smoking ears had
been telcscoped four feet from the force Of
the collision, and the ladies' ear and smok-
ing car were forced together. Two railroad
men. passengers on the train, noticing the
fearful speed at which they were running.
and knowing that something was wrong,
managed to crawl through hole lett IN the
door between the baggage car and smoking
car, and climbing over the mass OF baggage
in the darkness, succeeded in reaching and
stopping the engine, after the train had run
about SIX miles. About forty OF the passep-
gers were badly cut and injured, but none
fatally.

Ny. Moulton stated was made to him by Mr.

be proved that he was the author OF the
story about Miss Proctor. and that il 1t was

The case went t, trial. OF course Mr..
NIoulton needed only to prove by his third
person. IN whose presence he alleged the
story was related TO him, that Nr. Beech
err was the author of it, to relieve him.
If uot from the t"inica' libel, at
least from good part of the odium of the
