How DRlNKING CAUSES ApoPLEXY. 1t
is the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of
blood to the brain. The first effect of TAX
ing glass of wine OF stronger form OF
alcohol is to send the blood there faster
than common, hence the circulation
that gives the red face. 1t increases
the activity of the brain, and it works
faster, so does the tongue. But as the
blood goes to the brain faster than COM
mon, it returns faster, and no special
harm results. But suppose man keeps
on drinking, the blood is sent to the
brain so fast, in such quantities, that,
in order to make room for it, the arte-
ries have to enlarge themselves; they
increase in size, and in doing so they
press against the more yielding faccid
veins, which carry the blood out of the
brain and thus diminish the size of their
pores, the result being that the blood is
not only carried to the arteries of the
brain faster than is natural or healthful
but is prevented from leaving as fast as
usual hence q double set of causes of
death are in operation. Hence, man
may drink enough brandy or other
spirits in few hours, or even minutes,
to bring on apoplexy. This is literally
true

A River INCIDENT. The Dalles Moun-
tainecr relates this: An incident oc-
Cured on the Upper Columbia in the
Summer of 1864 that at the time caused
considerable excitement and fun. 1t
was nothing more nor less than a race
between the schooner Mount Hood and
one of the o. S. N. Company's steam
boats. Early in the morning the steam
er came putting along, and when oppo-
site the mouth of the Deschutes, the
schooner cast off her lines and started
in pursuit. The two vessels kept along
together until within fifteen or twenty
miles of Umatilla, when Captain Dean
spread every stitch of canvass possible,
and at the same time the wind coming
a little stronger, the schooner, with
about sixty-fiv tons of freight on board,
ran away from the steamboat. The
people of Umatilla were all out on tho
bank of the river looking at the race
which they could see for distance of
some ten or fifteen miles. The schoon-
er arrived at her landing, beating the
steamboat about half mile, much to
the satisfaction of the citizens of Una
tilla, whose sympathies, it is hardly
necessary to say, were with the sailor.

"No darling, one piece is enough" "
Half a piece, please, mamma?"
"No, Freddy, no more"
"A very little piece, mamma, dear?''
"No, Freddie, no"

Just little while, please, mamma?
" No Freddie, you must not go out
to-day
"Do let the child 60 out! What a
girl you are making of him. Women
never were fitted to bring up boys.

"No, Willie, make your block-house

something beside her own pains and
aches to think of. Let him bring his
blocks in the parlor."
And he brought them in.

"SuE's COMING ma resident of
New Haven has given up steamboat
travel. not long ago, having occasion
to visit New York, he started for the
steamers landing, with carpet-sack in
one hand and cane in the other, in
what he supposed ample time. But
when he came within sight of the wharf
he observed the boat apparently swing
away from her moorings, and amid the
shouts and jeers of the bystanders he
broke into frantic run for the landing.
The boat was eight or ten feet from the
wharf when he reached the place where
he had hoped to find a gang plank, but
nothing dauntod, and trusting to the
momentum acquired during the run,
he leaped into the air and gained the
vessels deck. Not without accident
however. The carpet-bag struck one
passenger so violently in the stomach
that he doubled up like jack knife,
and absorbed whole flask of brandy
in getting Strengthened out, while the
cane struck another man in the face
with sufficient force to induce him to,
get down on his knees to look after his
hat. When he had recovered it, the
man who had occasioned all this COM
motion said to him, in tone of min
gled apology and self congratulation !:
"Well, 1 made it !" Eyes, you did, 3"

A STRANGE Discovery. Mr.. Bruner,
says the Calaveras citizen, u perfectly
reliable gentleman, whose home at Los
Angels, in this county, is authority for
the following
While he and his hired men were
herding his stock, about six miles from
the "South Grove in this county, they
noticed small hole in the ground
about foot in diameter, and smoothed
off, as if done with n mason's trowel.
Their curiosity being aroused. they ex-
amined it, and dropped n rock into it,
which seemed to fall few feet and
lodge; the next effort was more sue
cessful, and the rock after falling con-
siderable distance, seemed to strike and
cause deafening, crashing noise per-
fcctly indescribable. 1t seemed to them
that in compar son thunder would he Il
lullaby, and the roar of artillery mur-
muir. The men lost no time i'll getting
away from the place, but in Il short
time, the noise having partially subsidcd
they returned to it; they We're. however,
perfectly satisfied without trying any
more experiments. Mr.. Bruner ven
lures no theory about this but only
states the facts. Now will some one of
our learned gentlemen explain this
natural curiosity?

From twenty-five to seventy-tive cents
each is paid for catching them, and
from fifteen to twenty Il day can be

ing them is by using small harpoon
which penetrates the shell but does not

How TO KEEP CooL.-A moderate
indulgence in cooling baths and drinks
is not injurious, but ice should be spar
in9ly used, and the other extreme of
exposure to the sun, SO far as possible,
avoided. The clothing should he light.
but, where person has to go in and
out of town, it should be thick enough
to suit the sudden and extreme changes
in the weather, which are the curse of
our climate. In such cases light fan
mel is more desirable than linen for
overwear. The food in hot weather
should be less hearty and stimulating
than in cold, for there is no need in the
SIMMER months of adding to the sup
ply of animal heat. Care should be
taken, however, not to weaken the sys-
tenn by too great abstinence. Modera-
ton is the true rule here as elsewhere,
and the appetite in healthy state is a
safe guide. The fruits and vegeta-
bles of the season are valuable aids to
health and comfort at this time, but
especial care should be taken to avoid
those that are unripe or decayed. To-
tai idleness is not the way to keep cool,
but some interesting occupation is
needed to divert the mind from thoughts
of heat, which are often more trouble
some than the heat itself. To sum up
in word, how to keep cool is best
learned by cheerful, useful and moder-
ate living.

The New COMPANY. We learn it is
the intention of tho new Transporta-
ton Company to bring the steamer
after up over the Cascades, to run to
this city. The contract has been let
and the work will commence as soon as
another boat can he purchased to take
her place. The otter is good strong
boat, capable of carrying about one
hundred tons of freight SO far, the
company has met with very good sue
cess, and has brought about all the
freight intended for this point Messrs.
French Il Moody have received letters
from Grant county and from other
sources pledying them all their freight.
The Changers are passing resolutions
sustaining the new company, and, in
structing their members not to pur-
chase of those who do not. As the
Grange movement was originally inau-
gurated for the purpose of breaking
down the great transportation combi-
nation and monopolies of the Atlantic
States, we think those instituted on
this side of the mountains could not
engage in better cause than the one
of trying to humble the chief af all
monopoles-the o. S. N. Company,
whose charges compared to those of the
Atlantic States, are as twelve to one
MOuntaineer.
