A clerical Einetlc.

1t is not often that o prisoner ID
brought to trial upon the charge laid
against Father Baronius, when he up
peared before the tribunal at Treyiglio,
In Lombardy. This worthy ecclesiastic
was accused, says the Pail Mall Ga
sette, Of putting q strong emetio into
the wine which some Of his brother
priests were about to use in the cele-
bration Of mass, and his only defense
was that he wanted TO play 0 practical
joke upon two ofthem who had recent
ly come to Treyiglio. They belonged
to an opposite school Of theology, and
Father Baronius, who seemed surprised
that his application Of emetics to reli-
gion should have caused SO great q
scandal, thought TINT II he could not
convert them he might at least punish
them. Itwould havo been useless for
him TO have denied the main facts Of
the accusation, as the dose was so
strong that one Of the victims was i'll
for q week, while the doctors at Tre-
viglio, possessing but o very elementary
knowledge Of the healing art, thought
that he had been poisoned, and sub
mitted him to SO severe q diet that he
was reduced to q skeleton. The Offend
ing priest was charged upon the double
count Of misdemeanor and sacrilege,
and was sentenced TO seyenmonths' i'm
prisonment. ~ 81

Eating too Much.

A retired physician writes: "How
does It happen that amid the cry
against drunkenness, we never hear O
word against its sister evil, gluttony ?
I think / can assert with truth that in
a long practice, three have died among
my patients from over eating, where
one has died from drink. Whence
come apoplexy, paralysis, dyspepsia,
and o host OF other diseases, but from
too much and too rich food taken under
the most imprudent circumstances.
And yet we hear Of no society formed
to prevent this growing vice. A man
eats until he drops down and expires
with apoplexy by the roadside, when
up comes the coroner with o jury Of
twelve good men and true, who, pro.
nounce o verdict, Died from intemper-
ance.' So he did. But what kind OF
intemperance was itf 1 have heard
more than one minister in the pulpit
expatiate with great yehemence against
the sin Of drunkenness whose very ap-
pearance was proof positive that he was
pre-eminently guilty Of gluttony."

The only limit to the number Of
revolutions which q wheel may be made
10 make in q given time Is the tensile
strength OF the materials OF which the
wheel Is made, and It's consequent
power TO resist the centrifugal force
which tends TO rend IL asunder. Sayart,
in his experiments on the theory OF
sound, made wheels to reyolye from
one thousand 10 two thousand times
per minute: but this has been sur
passed by Foucalt, who invented an
apparatus for measuring the velocity
OF light, to which o small wheel with q
mirror was attached, which might be
made TO reyolye GOO, 800, and even
1000 times per second, or GO, 900 times
per minute. AT these yelocities the
ordinary amalgamwas completely strip.
ped from the glass to which IL was at-
tached !; and Il was found necessary TO
use mirrors either Of glass coated with
pure silver or made entirely OF metal.
These are the most rapid revolutions
thus far obtained, probably, but there
is not the slightest reason why even
this should not be surpassed. II is
evident that for such great yelocities
cog wheels are out Of the question.
Only bands or strings can be used.

The peaoh plstrlets.

Within the last few weeks q species
Of black bug has appeared in countless
numbers in the peach orchards near
Denton, Caroline County, Nd, and has
done serious damage in that locality.
In one nursery the grated stocks Of
SO, 900 trees were entirely killed. The
insect is even capable Of destroying
large trees, as IL thickly covers the
leaves and prevents vegetation. None
Of the ordinary means Of destroying in.
seets seem to avail, as this scourge is
very tenacious Of life, and q liquid ap.
plication that will kill the tree does not
affect It. II resembles the rose.bug,
and Is regarded by entomologists aa d
similar pest to the cherry hchid. Thus
for no serious damage has been done 10
ffiit-bearing orchards; though the
presence Of the bug Is reported IN peach
districts about Middletown. Speci.
mens Of tho insect have been sent to
thep Department Of Agriculture at Wash
