DOCTOR JALAP.
A MEDICAL BALLAD.


The morn was fair the sky was clear.
The birds sang full OF glee,
As DR.. Jalap started forth
His prtients for to see.
And, as he slowly rode along,
Thus to himself he said:
+" I've only thirteen patients left.
Now poor Sam Jones Is dead;
For surely he cannot have lived
To see this mornings light;
He had not many hours to stay
When called the other night.
I'll just drop in to see his wife
As / go down the hill.
Poor soul Who will take care OF her
And who will-pay my biil?"
The doctor stopped before the house
He softly entered in;
He climbed the stairs he reached the room
Whers poor Sam Jones had been;
And there Sam sat, as sure as fate,
Eating some meat and bread.
Why, Sam, how's this Z" the doctor cried,
thought that you were dead!
Your sands of life had almost run
The last time was here
And now 1 find you sitting up.
Eating aud drinking beerl'
" All true" said Sam "but listen, friend
The reasons very plain;
I'll tell you how it came about
That began to gain,
And how / happen to be here,
Eating a good beefsteak:
That last dose that you left me, sir,
You see-I didn't take.

HThe proposed and projected
tunnel between France and England
is made the subject of consideration
by the French Assembly and the
British Parliament. 1t is quite likely
the stupendous work will be under

success.

for his religion that he nearly died,
that, when asked how it was posi-
bic to endure such torment, he re-
piled, "At first | felt some pain, but
at once there stood by me young
person who wiped away my sweat
and so refreshed me with cold water,
that | no longer suffered"
The groans and screams Of the
wounded and dying on the battlefield
are we'll enough in poetry, but have
no existence as a matter of fact. An
exclamation in an ordinary tone of
voice, upon first being shot, a request
made to comrade to be helped out
of the way, and sigh or two long
drawn, as the breath leaves the body
sum up the noise made by the dying
from wonds received in battle.
The mere Get of dying is seldom,
in any sense of the word, painful
process. 1t is true that some persons
die in state of bodily torture as in
the case of tetanuS;; that the drunk
ard dying of delirum tremenS is haunt
ed by terrific visions and that the
victim of that most horrible of all
diseases, hydrophobia, in addition to
those peculiar bodily sufferings from
which the disease derives its name,
may be in state of terror from the
supposed presence of frightful objects,
which are presented to him as reali-
ties. even to the last. But the gen.
eral rule is, beyond all doubt, that
both mental and bodily sufferings
terminate before the scene is finally
closed.
During the frightful days of the
French Revolution, when heads fell
by scores every day, and the very
gods seemed athirst, there was a
popular belief that sensibility re-
manned for longer or shorter time
after decoliation. 1t was said that
blush suffused the cheek of Charlotte
Corday; and the eyes of Madame
Roland which were large and express
sive, opened as if with a sense of sur
prise; and that the lip of Philip
Egalite curled in unmistakable scorn
when his head was held up to the
multitude. Analogy between this re-
puted retention of sensibiity in the
trunkless head and the locomotion of
fowls, after their heads are off, was
attempted to be shown. Recent ex-
periments, however indicates the idea
to be falacy, as the following ae-
count proves
an. Bonnafont had ready near the
guillotine, under which two Arabs
were to be executed, vessels filled
with the pulverized plaster, placed on
a low table. His friend associated
in the experiment was provided with
speaking trumpet and o sharp
pointed probe. at the instant the
first head fell it. wna pl"ood IN ono of
the vessels containing the plaster, in
order to arrest hemorrhage. The
speaking trumpet was then applied
to the ear of the head and the mans
name shouted through il, but there was
neither motion Of tho eyelids nor corr
rugation Of the brow the eyes were
dull aud motionless, the complexion
coIorless, the expression of the face
not indicative of pain. Neither were
the muscles contracted upon being
pierced by the tube With the Sec

Can Grants Grandson Become Presi-
dent ?

Now we may consider this subject
of agonizing doubt and tormentine
fears definitely settled. The n. 7.
Sun solemnly disposes of the case !:
A correspondent lays before US q
problem Of thrilling Importance in the
following note:
"SfR: Please decide question in
international law. Is the son of Mrs.
Sartoris eligible to the Office of Presi-
dent OF the United States? Although
born in this country, his father was
never naturalized.
"Yours respectfully" G. G.
"BRooKLYN, July 15."
The Constitution of the United
States provides that no person ex-
cept natural-born citizen shall be
eligible to the office of President.
Citizenship is defined by the Revised
Statutes Of the United States as fol-
lows. "All persons born in the United
States and not subject to any foreign
power, excluding Indians not taxed,
are declared to be citizens of the
United States.p This is in accordance
with the rule of public law that per-
sons born in country are generally
deemed to be citizens and subjects of
that country. That rule is said by
Story and other eminent writer's not
to include the children of parents
journeying in the country merely, or
abiding there for temporary purposes,
only, as for health, curiosity, or oc-
casional business; but this qualifca-
ton is admitted not to be universal.
The son of Mrs. Sartoris was born
within the United States, and is
therefore eligible to be President so
far as that requisite is concerned; but
is he not subject to foreign power,
and therefore lacking in one of the
elements of citizenship? Our cores
pendent evidently thinks that he may
be an English subject-although born
here-because his father is an Eng
lishman. II taken to England and
kept there until he attains his majority
he would probably be recognized and
protected as such but nothing ex-
cept his own voluntary act, after he
shall have become of age, can divest
him of his American citizenship in.
cidental to the place of his birth.
The baby must be regarded as nat.
ural-born citizen within the meaning
of the Constitution, and hence is elig.
ible to the highest office.

HEAVY BANK FAILURE.-The fail
ure of the great banking house of
Duncan, Sherman & CO., is announc-
ed from New York The suspcn.
sion appears to have been caused
by advances on cotton, and slight
attempt to "bull" the gold market.
The failure was unexpected. For
the past twenty-five years this firm
has been regarded as one of the
stauuchest in New York city. Its
letters of credit have been regarded
as first-class on the continent, and
as a consequence many of the Ameri-
cans who are now travelling over the
continent are left without a reliable
indOrser for their bills of demand
Those who have depended solely
upon their bills will find but cold
comfort in Europe, and will no
doubt take the first steamer for
America. The failure of this house
will not be apt to affect the financial
or commercial houses of the country.
For time it was feared that this
was but the beginning OF q general
financial crash, but an exposition of
the causes that led to the suspension
showed that these fears were IN
grounded. The suspended firm had
r, lations with but few banking insti-
buttons in this country, and with
these to but limited extent. No
hank of any consequence, therefore.
finds itself involved on account of
this failure.
Chicago bankers do not appear
to apprehend any danger from this
incident in our financial history. 1t
is simply the suspension of a foreign
house, for the suspended firm has
its principal relations with foreign
bankers, and home institutions, in
stead of being injured, will only be
benefited by the withdrawal of this
firm from business. Chicago Times.

Unfermented Wine.

Passing thus through the whole
breadth of Europe on one of its chiei
wine-growing belts, it seems as if the
usual grape beverage might be taken
as fair sample of the drinks which
the people of any such region will ex
tract from the vine. The question
will occur, Do these communities use
or know any drink bearing the name
of wine which is not fermented, in
toxicating drink? 1t becomes appa-
rent, even TO the eye, that all the
wines consumed by high and low are
diffusible stimulants, stirring the
blood, exciting the nerves, and flush
ing the cheeks. 1: is found that,
while differing in astringency, sour
ness, and flavor, the peoples wine is
invariably an alcoholic drink, appar
emily little stronger than the strong
est cider which was formerly made
in New England, from which, in some
instances, the taste can scarcely be
distinguished. If there be any prac-
tice of preserving the unfermented
juice VI Iuo grape Va piGo0ihlh VIC
grape to make it such as the excel
lent Mr.. Delavan found in one solitary
instance in Italy, it is practice kept
profoundly secret. And If there be
any unfermented liquors sold and
drank as "wines" in wine.making
regions, they are liquors unknown to
the hotels, the cafes, the restaurants,
and the people who frequent them
and they are liquors not comprised
in the vin ordinaire of the great vim
tage zone. Their existence is secret
undiscovered, and it is probable that
unfermented wine is absolutely I'M
known throughout all wine-growing
lands. 1t is q difficult matter to
preserve the rich grape-juice from
fermentation, and fermentation pro-
duces alcohol. Alcohol is, therefore,
the first result of the death of the
grape, the first stage Of decomposition.
1t accompanies death, as a poison
may we'll do.--HaWS Journal Of

The road to ruin is paved with
good intentions. It Is strewn with
broken resolutions, aad all along its
crooked and winding ways are scat
tered the wrecks Of what might have
been the noblest specimens Of man
hood and womanhood.
Frailty and fallibility are common
to human nature. @There are pass
sions strong and ambitions Wild
that leads life's wayfarers, step BY
step, down the long grade, until de,
moralized and weakened, both in body
and mind, they fall by the way, and
in their distress and helplessness they
find none to comfort them.

for its is as impossible f9s men or wo-

shadow of a huge mushroom; ''isn't it
unbearable? Here are we, who have
been patiently growing and putting
forth bud after bud and leaf after

and have gradually increased to a
very decent family, through summe,
and the opening Of autumn, sudden
ly buried, eclipsed, lost, under the
shade of this monstrous creature, the
growth of a day or two!'
'Never mind, child" said the Pa
rent Plant; "my experience of those
things is, that they perish asquickly
as they rise; We advance slowly but
surely, and strengthen as we grow
