A Anewjuggernaut, it is said, has
been set moving in society, and thou
sands annally fall beneath it's wheels.
1t is new stimulant known as hy-
drate of Chloral-.a salt of a burning
punge mt taste, having as its basis Chic.
roform, into which it is supposed to be
changed in the blood In small do
ses it is stimulant and antispasmodic
in larger, narcotic; and in excess it pro-
duces death as instantaneously as a
flash of lightning. Physicians have
been variously divided in the opinion
of it's ultimate results, some recogni-
zing the fearful consequences of its
use, others enthusiastically recon-
mending it for ocean travellers as an
antidote for seasickness. In England
it has taken the place of opium, and
chloral-eating is now as decided vice
asopium-eating, as hash-heesh and alb
sinthe drinking. The difference be-
tween opium and Chloral is that, un-
der the same circumstances, opium is
more imaginative, and paints things
as they do not really exist; chlO-
raj merely increases the power Of
enjoying the real. A strange, dreamy
sense of perfect ease, comfort and
happiness takes the place of sorrows
and cares; all affection and love are
likewise banished, and the eater be-
comes practically living. breathing
vegetable. An opium eater has been
known to live to goodly old age. No
Chloralist can survive three years.
The stimulant is imported mostly from
Germany, and high authority as
serts in the London Lancet that there
is positively no antidote for the poi
son.

THURSDAY,...............MAY 20, 1876
Old Dutch Funeral Customs.

Lucas Wyngard died in Albany in
1925, a bachelor, leaving some estate.
| The invitation to his funeral was very
general, and those who attended re-
| turned after the interment to the
| it until the dawn of the ensuing day.
In the course of the night pipe OF
wine, that had been stored in the cell
lar for some years before the occasion
was drank, dozens of papers OF tobacco
were consumed. crosses of pipes de
stroyed, scarce whole decanter or
glass left, and, to crown the whole the
pall-bearers made bonfire of their
scarfs upon the hearth of the room
where they were carousing. Even
down to within the last so years, AL
bany was noted for the expensive
character of its funerals. A funeral
| i'm a respectable Dutch family at that
place, and especially of the head or any
principal member or It.. costs from
So, 900 to $4,000. That ofthe first wife
of the PATRON, Stephen Van Renssal-
aer, it is said, cost him not less than
$4,000. All his tenants were invited,
and most of them were in Albany two
or three days at his expense and 1000
| linen scarfs were given on that occa-
sion. 1t was formerly the custom
there for a young man immediately
previous to his marriage to send to
| the island of Madeira for pipe or two
of the best wine, portion of which
was used in the rejoicings consequent
upon his marriage, and the remainder
| slowed away for his funeral and that
of his wife, AN odd reversal of the
order customary in Denmark in Ham,
let's day. 1t was also the practice in
that city to send out special funeral
invitations for all friends and ac-
quaintances of the deceased being
about the same age, and likwise for
all the clergy and professional men
of the neighboring country and gen.
eral invitations from the pulpits of
the churches to the citizens at large.
To the house of each person thus in
vited was sent a linen scarf, pair of
black silk gloves, bottle of old Ma
deira wine and two funeral cakes,
which were round and about the size
of dinner plate. This was done pre-
viOus to the funeral and was in addi-
tion to the great quanty of spiced wine
and other liquors which, with tObac-
co and pipes, were distributed and
used at the house of the deceased i'm
mediately preceding and after the in
terment. When Gen. Schuyler died
in that city, all the clegy, lawyers,
physicians and even students in AL
bany and its neighborhood for many
miles, were invited especially, and
scarf, gloves, bottle of wine, with
funeral cakes, given to each of them.
So particular were they about the lin
en- of which to make these scarfs, that
in several instances they sent down
by land to New York in the depth of
winter to purchase it, and paid two
dollars yard.

There is no one thing moro essential
than the election of capable men for the
Legislature. Representative n. b. Myers,
who is candidate for the senatorship
about to be made vacant by the election
of Robert Sma'Is to Congress, ia a young
man of decided ability aud has certainly
made an impression in the House, where
he has served with character and Just
discrimination. He should be supported
and voted for without distinction of par
ty. Although republican. in;the strict.
est sense of the tenn, his course in the
Lsgaslsture'has been characterized by a
degree of courage and probity. that must
recommend him to all classes. He will
not vote for crude or mean Legislation
