The Danger Of Choral.

The London Lancet prints q warning
against the habitual use of the new fash
ioned hypnotic, chloral. Because it does
not produce the immediate evil conse-
ouences due to opium, and is a far more
powerful sedative than bromide OF
potassium, it has become popular, and
is even, as the Lancet deplores, largely
recommended by medical men. 1t has
taken its place in the medicine chest and
on the dressing table. and is often en-
ployed without advice or precautIon;;
In some cases, the use of it has resulted
in death in healthy persons, and in other
cases its action has given play to diseases
which have proved fatal, although
without its aid they would not have done
so. But these cases are too rare to nave
the effect on the public which in profess
sional eyes should be assigned to them.
Still, where no such Immediately serious
consequences ensue or are to be asppre-
hended, the habitual use of chloral can
not fail to be attended by injury to the
nervous system. As the Lancet explains,
in sleep the sensory recipient and lower
motor centers are separated from those
of conciousness and will, with which
during the walking state they are Ill close
connection. This separation can only
take place under certain conditions,
which vary much in different individuals.
Chloral introduces an artificial influence,
and separates forcibly those functions OF
the nervous system which would other
wise have been linked together. 1t stills
unpleasant emotion, removes disagree
able sensations, and paralyzes the Will.
This can hardly occur repeatedly with
out some permanent effect. Each region
of its influence presents an example OF
perverted action. The will becomes
weakened; emotional manifestations are
in the chloral-drinker more easily pro-
duced; the evidence of the senses is
perverted, and their action is no longer
under the same control of associated I'M
pressions. All influences OF depres-
sing character are felt more keenly.
The sufferer becomes nervous" emo
tional, hysterial. Neuralgia and other
sensory disturbances becomes frequent,
and with them various peretic phenome,-
ma, depending chiefly on defective will.
Ultimately still graver consequences may
result. Delirium, imbecility, and paraly-
sis of the pharynx and asophagus are a
mong the Symptoms which have occurred
in recorded cases, and which have ceased
when the habitual dose was discontinued.
All the time the supposed need of the
sedative increases, the cravings for it may
become as intense, as intolerable, as in
the case of opium-the patient moaning
for the chloral, which he can hardly
swallow, and sleep gradually, becomes
almost impossible, except under artlh-
cial influences.

ly interesting reading matter in a news
paper. He got many answers asking tor
interviews. lie selected one only SO tar

as special partner, With an interest of
$4,000. He exhibited certified checks
upon the Worchester Safe Deposit and
Trust company to the amount of S36, 500,
which looked solid, and money bearing.
He agreed to deposit these with bank
in Newark, and was to receive, when the
transaction was consummated, check
for $4,000 from Mr.. Lewis, in change.
Barber went to work industriously to
make everything smooth in the way OF
Identification and confidence. He went
to II. H. Jacques, q we'll known and re-
spectacle insurance man, and made him
believe at last that he (Barber) had
worked for him (Jacques) thirty years
ago, in fact that the latter had almost
brought the former up. Barber knew,

family and affairs. He made q conquest

The Country Press.

There are few people who do the
country paper full justice. Most every
body is inclined to look away over the
shoulders of country editors, to some
paper printing more reading matter, and
then make comparisons. There are peo-
pie who actually believe it impossible to
find person with common sense, with
industry or brains in the office of a coun-
try newspaper; q newspaper can have no
charms for them unless it can be mysti-
fed under a strange personality. The
country newspaper is one of the most i'm
portant attributes of every town in the
United States. When a colony settles
anywhere with the intention of building
village, the first thought is newspa-
per the press is thus in the very van
guard of civilization. 1t is the useful
agent in every place of progress and
growth. There is not another single
power that can do so much good patient
work in the way Of building up as the
local newspaper. 1t is not altogether
important how it is edited, whether with
ability or not, so that it be conducted
with an industry and enterprise at least
side by side with the town; if it can
afford to keep few years in advance it
is all the better. A country paper that
had little else than advertisements would
be an immense help to place, for adver-
tisements constitute reliable index to
the character, business and general con-
dition of the town. Without newspa-
per, with its local news and business an
nouncemcnts, what would the average
American city or village be? 1t would
surely be unknown to its neighbors.
The country weeklies ought to be the
best supported newspapers of the whole
land, for they contain news and gossip
that cannot be found in any of the city
dailies. The farmer can learn from his
local paper-if he prefers to take it in
stead of some more expensive publication
how much his neighbor's sixty-acre
farm sold for, how the schools are pros
pering, the price of butter aud eggs at
the village market, and what improve
ments are in progress thro' the section in
which he lives. He can get none of this
in the city paper, and he cannot be q
thoroughly useful citizen without such
items Of light information. 1t is not al
ways that the best town supports the best
newspapers, but it is strictly a fact that
no place ever gets credit for being thrifty
or enterprising until it can send out a
1irst-class paper, and that always depends
more upon the people than editor.-fort

JOHN RANDoLpH.-Mr. Randolph
was great Bible reader, and was deeply
concerned about religious subjects. TIC
employed an excellent man, Mr.. Adne
Clopton, to preach every Sunday to his
negroes, in the large chapel he had
erected on his plantation. When at
home he invariably attended these SER
vices, taking his seat by the preacher on
the open platform, from which thepreach-
er conducted the services. On many
occasions, while kneeling beside the
preacher, who was prone to be carried
away by the fervor Of prayer, Randolph
would slap him on the back and call
out loudly, "Clopton, that won't do;
that's not sound doctrine. Clopton,
take that back; and if Clopton remon-
strated, Randolph, though keeping him
self on his knees, was ready at once for
an argument to maintain his point. No
one but Mr.. Clopton, who knew the &C.
centricity and honest motives of the
man. could have borne with these ire
weren't Interruptions while in the midst
of prayer; but MIR. Clopton, when ne
found Randolph determined to argue the
point, either gracefully yielded, or pro.
posed to note the point and argue it at
the dwelling house. To visitors at the
chapel, and they were many, these
scenes were exceedingly curious and
absurdly ludicrous. But that was MIR
Randolph's way.
It is said that on one cold Sunday, IN
this chapel on Mr.. Randolph's planta
ton, while giving out the hymn in tho
old-fashioned way, two lines at time
and it was being Justify sung by the ne
groes, Mr.. Clopton, the preacher, ob
served negro man put his foot upor
which was new brogan, on the mo-
stove. Turning toward him, he said II
his measured voice, "You rascal you
You'll burn your Shoe" As this was
rhyme of the exact metre of the hymn
the negroes all sung it i'll their loudes
tones. Smiling at the error, the preach
er attempted mildly to explain by say
ing: "My colorcd friends, indeed you ar!
wrong; didn't intend that for the song,
But there it was again, another rhyme
in good measure; so the negroes sung
that too with pious fervor. Turning tt
his congregation, the preacher said some
what sharply: 81 hope you will not sin!
again, until l have time to explain,
| But this only aroused the negroes, wh'
sang the last word with increased Vlgor
Mr.. Clopton feeling that his tongu
seemed to be turned to rhyme, abandonet
all efforts at explanation, and went OF
with his services.

DIyERsIFYING SOUTHERN CROPs.-
One of the most encouraging clrcum-
stances, says the Baltimore Sun, IN the
agricultural condition and prospects: OF
the South is the experiment which it
has now successfully made in the way OF
a diversity of products. Hitherto King
Cotton has allowed no rival, nor even
accessory, near his throne. A predic-
ton ten years ago that any of the cotton
raising States would in 1875 have sur
plus Of cereals would have excited an in
credulous smile. Yet the States OF Ten
nessce, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Alabama will this year have enough and
to spare. In addition to this unprece-
dented grain yield, the old staple, though
reduced in acreage, has by more
thorough system of cultivation rewarded
the planters as never before, and they
boast of all independence that has here,
toforc been unknown to that portion OF
the country. They claim that with their
surplus of breadstufs they can obtain
the means by which they will be enabled
10 hold their cotton, take advantage OF
the market, and sell for cash instead OF OF
following the practice that has almost
universally obtained of mortgaglng thelr
crops early in the season at ruinous hs,,
urcs. The agricultural resources aud
capabilities of the South have never YET
been fully developed. 1t is able to feed
itself as we'll as to clothe, in certain
essential respects, both itself and the
world. The sovereignty of cotton would
never have been disputed if it had en-
loved the aid of such auxiliaries as the
cultivation of the cereals and manutac,
turing industry.

AN IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCOVERY

AN IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DIR. Thomas Nicholson, of st. Louis,
who has been giving special attention to
the study of smallpox for five years,
claims to have discovered a specific which
is destined to work revolution in the
treatment Of this most loathsome disease
and rob it of half of its terrors by pre-
venting the formation ofpustules and con-
sequent pitting of the surface, while at the
same time reducing the danger of conta-
gion. His theory is that the surface
eruption is not caused by poison in the
blood, but is due to the severe intlamma-
ton of the skin, which is so dried up by
the fever Us to cause total suspension OF
its cxcretory function; and his treatment
is to restore us nearly as possible the nor
NAL condition of the skin by external
application. For this purpose he uses
the following preparation, in which it
will be seen that gasoline forms the prin-
cpal ingredient: Gasoline, one pint;
gum camphor, as much as it will dis
solve; pulyerized sulphate of soda, one
drachm; pure carbolic acid, halfa drachm;
The body of the patient is to be covered
with gauzc linen, over which the gasoline
compound is to be sponged freely, as oc-
casion requires, after which the body must
be famed to induce more rapid eyapora-
ton. This process is to be repeated till
all signs of Inflammation have ceased.
Not only is the intense cutaneous heat
reduced by this operation, and a feeling
of great relief enjoyed by the patient,
but the disgusting odor of the sick room
is destroyed and the danger of infection
reduced to the minimum.
