The Effects of Alcoholism.

The Journal deS CorndiSSdnceS Medi-
Gales published an article, by DIR. Cor.
nil. on certain experiments made by
DR.. Magnan to investigate the effects Of
alcoholism on the economy. The first
series comprises the administration Of
brandy to dogs. The animal at first
evinces some excitement, which gradu-
allv increases, and ends in stupefaction
and comatose sleep, accompanied by
a fall in the temperature Of the body,
linsepsibility, and paralysis Of the hind
legs, This state is transitOry; but II
the experiment be indefinitely repeat
ed. a peculiar nervous sensitiveness
NAV be remarked at the end Of a fort
night. The subject pricks up its ears,
watches, then starts at the slightest
noise, shows fear, and experiences illu-
sions and hallucinations which assume
the form of a regular delirium within
the space of month, with fits OF trem-
bling. III the brandy be suppressed,
death ensues, accompanied by inditfer-
ence and stupefaction. There Is great
difference between the action of mere
brandy and the liquor known as alb
lsinthe, which Is an alcoholic dncture
of Artemisia absinthium, or worm
wood; and DIR. Magnan's experiments
90 far to refute the opinion OF those
who consider this favorite beverage to
be in inert, except in so far as ii is al
coholic. Given in q weak dose 10 q
dog, shivering Ia observed to take
place. with muscular twitches and
Jerks in the neck, and rapid but limit
ed motions of the head, shoulders and
back. Administered in heavy doses,
convulsive fits are the consequence, but
differing materially from paraplegia or
delirium tremenss. Hallucinations
moreover appear at the very first ex-
Iperiments, instead of being nearly the
last stage, ss In the case Of mere BRAN
DIV. In man, DR.. Magnan divides in
toxication by alcohol into three stages:
mania, delirium tremens and stupor.

ST, GAINESVILLE, OHIO.
THURSDAY, AUGUST IL, 1875.

Two years ago, when William Allen beat
Gov. Noyes by s17 votes, the total vote was
less than it was the year before by SO, ,529.
The Republican vote fell off from 281 1852 to
213, ,837, a loss of 6s,015. Some of these votes
went to make up the 20, 900 votes which were
divided between the Independent and Prohi-
bitionist tickets. But there were at least
so, 900 Republicans who did not vote that year
at all. They staid away from the polls, and
gave the election to Allen. 1t makes no diff
ference just now what their motives were in
remaining at home. Whatever they were, We
believe we do none of them injustice when we
say that they can not be satisfied with what
come of their neglect to use their right Of suf-
frage. They have seen a worse Legislature,
and worse legislation, than Ohio has ever wit
messed before They have seen open corrup-
ton charged in the passage of the Wood
County bill, and have seen the outrageous vio-
lation of popular rights attempted in the case
of the people of Toledo. They have seen
waste and chicanery in State legislation, and
in the history of cities and towns that passed
under Democratic control at the same time
the State did, corruption and extravaganza.
Whether the Democracy is continued in
power depends very largely on those fifty or
sixty thousand Republicans who declined to
vote two years ago. If they intended by their
absence to rebuke the Republican party for
real or supposed faults, we ask if they do not
think they have rebuked it quite enough, and
if the price they pay for the rebuke is not
good deal more than the good they or the State
gets from it? If their absence was simple ne
glect Of duty, we should like to know if it is
worth while to indorse, by absence this year,
the Democratic rule of the last two years, and
the reputation platform the Democracy has
adopted and on which it is now standing

Bay rum is a useful, agreeable, and
inexpensive application to the scalp.
Everybody should use it, so we will
give formula for making 1t as good as
can be purchased any where, and at a
small cost: Take oil of bay, ten fluid
drains; oil of pimento, one fluid dram;
acetic ether, two fluid ounces; alcohol,
three gallons; water, two and a half gal
Ions. Mix, and in two weeks filter IL
carefully, when you will have q super
ior article of bay rum, better than can
be purchased at an extravagant price,
already prepared.

HAVE YOU VOTED

The uncertainty OF the result, this afternoon,
is. entirely too great to permit any Republican
to feel Indifferent about voting. There is a rea-
sonable prospect Of the election Of Captain VAL
entine and his associates on the general ticket,
and of Republican majority in Council, but
the chances of quiet unexcited canvass are
to preoarious for any one to take these results
for granted in advance Of the aotusl count
ing of the ballots. We therefore urge
every citizen who desires cnange in the exec
utive government of the city, and who does not
desire to see the City Council go into the hands
of Democratic majority, to poll his cote this af-
ternoon, ,cihoutJ fail! 1t may be needed. The
result may be very close. defeat by small
majority would be mortifying, indeed, for it
would be due to the shortcomings of Repub-
licans, themselves.

ITO General Fitzhugh Lee, with the compll.
ments OF the ladies of Barnum's Hotel.n Gem
eral Lee was made chairman of the meeting. On
assuming the chair, General Lee stated the OBJ.
lect Of the society to be to invite capitalists to
their region for the purpose of investing money
in their lands. He said Virginia was enjoying as
peaceful condition as any other State In the
Union. He knew that there had been consider
able misrepresentation in regard to the condi-
tion of the South, but he could assure his hear
ers that reconciliation had at last taken the place
of reconstruction.
MIR. l.. y. White, of Baltimore, president of the
fredericksburg Water Power Company, spoke of
the water power and the unsurpassed faclli ties
it Afforded for manufacturing purposes, as well
as the induce nents they were prepared to offer

Speeches vera made by several members OF
the delegation, setting forth the advantages Of
climate, fertility OF the soil, and the cheapness
of lands, which ranged from IS to $50 per acre.
Ex-Governor Joel Parker, of New Jersey, also

IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOUTH.

The scheme now being brought to the atten-
ton of the people of New York for the further
snce Of immigration to Virginia and other South
ern States is one of Importance. We are not
deferred from expressing this opinion
by the objection that General Lee
and his associates in the Fredoricks-
burg project may have merely personal inter-
est in securing an increase Of population in their
section, resulting in rise in the value of
their property. Everything relating to public
affairs is personal in some Of Its bearings, and if
the press should hesitate to endorse every en-
tsrprise which had leaning to the promotion Of
individual good, it would soon restrict its field
80 completely as to have nothing left to enlarge
upon. A truer view regards the honestly-ob
tanned prosperity Of the individual as the vitality
of the State. II the Fredericksburg Association
can materially raise the price of land in their
section they do that service to greater or less
extent for the whole State of Virginia, and if
once the race sets in, the entire South must be
proportionately benefited.
The topic in general is one of vast interest
The Western country is 80 well advanced that
special attention need no further be given in
that direction. With the progress now made that
machine will run itself, for the needs of the
great population already west of the Alleghenies
must draw in fresh material by the law OF natur-
al increase. 1t is well therefore, to turn our
gaze to a country as near at home and quite as
rich as the west, which remains practically as
unmproyed as it WAS before the Revolution.
The possibilities Of the South have not yet been
dreamed of and the men who first start in TO
work out the solution will be those who will pro-
lit most heartily. Dan it be that our crowded
New England will not contribute a pro-
portion OF the tillers of its rocky
soil, that they may buy land in Virginia. as
good as any In the Union, at IS an acre? There
is the real "Bonanza"-source of more genuine
wealth than all the mines OF California and Ne
vada.
We all know, Of course, why the South alone
has been kept behind in the national race. With
natural advantages for surprising New England,
the slavery blight was enough to ruin
/ Is chance for supremacy as long as it was suf-
fered to exist. But that is now brsvely changed
and there is no reason why the attempt to place
the South in line with the rest Of the nation in
all that goes towards the making OF all energetic
and prosperous people should not be at once aud
successfully made. And it certainly will be
made. 1t is not in reason to suppose that such
magnificent section Of the country should long
remain in its present condition, for it ID destined
to be the garden Of the continent the peer OF
the greatest agricultural tracts yet improved
