THE HTNT FOR CHARLEY ROSS.
work of the Detectives-Over $50, 1000
Expendcd-Hundrcds of Lost Chill
Ircn Heard frOm-Intercsting
Incidents of the Search.

Many interesting incidents connected
with the search for Charley Ross have
been obtained from the detectives en-
ployed in the case by the citizens of
Philadelphia. The detectives began
to search in July, and since then they
have secured the United States and
Canada, and even crossed the Atlantic
in the hope of finding the kidnapped
boy. The work has cost over twenty
thousand dollars. One Of the largest
items has been the expense of circulars,
cards, and posters. Seven hundred
thousand circulars have been issued
containing the particulars of the abduc-
ton, descriptions of the boy and his
kidnappers, and photographs Of Char
ley. These have been sent to every po-
lice officer, Sheriff and constable, and
posted in every railroad station, police
Office and post Office in the country.
Two men were specially detailed to
attend to their distribution in Canada.
The circulars were also posted in the
vessels in most of our sea ports. The
printing, mailing, aud the photograph
ing have cost Sc, 900. Several thousand
letters and kilograms have been sent
to the detectives in answer to the cir
calars. Every communication has
been answered, and all trails followed.
The correspondence has been so extern
sive as to require an extra corps of
clerks.
Between five and six hundred chill
dren have been reported as Charley
Ross. In numerous instances, where
good clues were thought to have been
obtained, officers have been sent on
Investigations to distant places, only
to find that the children had been
trained to answer the question intended
for Decentralization of the missing boy,
and that their keepers had been moved
TO the deception in the hope Of having
them ransomed. Twenty-Five detec-
tives were engaged at one time in max
ing rs many investigations.
The gypsies led the detectives on ma
ny long and fruitless chases. Over 200
bands were heard from as having chill
dren that were thought to be Charley
Ross. Most of the children that were
sought in the gypsy camps turned out
to be stolen, and in several instancee
their parents were found. One little
boy whom the officers came across in
the tents of the gypsies was restored to
his father and mother in Rockland
county; after two separations. They
never expected to see him again.
The detectives believe that, directly
and indirectly, half u million persons
have been engaged in the Ross hunt
They can only explain the failure to
find him on the ground that he is either
dead or that the kidnappers left
him in an obscure place with some re-
cluse who has never heard anything OF
the case.

The Noral Effects Of Hurry.

To the thoughtful the moral consc-
qucnces tension and hurry are every
saddcning, to the physician their
physical results arc matter Of pro-
found concern, for their grave evils
come under his daily observation.
No evolution Of force can take place
with undue rapidity without damage
to the machine IN wich the transror-
nation is effected. Express railway
stock has q much shorter term Of use
than that reserved for slower traffic.
The law is universal, that intensity
and duration Of action are invcrsely
proportional. 1t is therefore no mat
ter Of surprise to find the human ncr-
vous system is no exception TO the
law. The higher salubrity Of rural
over urban life is not entirely mat
ter Of fresh air and exercise. Rural
life involves leisure and pause in work
which arc very essential to the mainte-
nance of the nervous system in state
OF true nutrition. UnrcmiLting spasm
soon ceases altogether. The high
tension Of life produces weakness at
the very place where strength is most
needed. The damage done to health
OF the most valuable part Of the com
munity, the best trained thinkers,
most useful workers is incalculablc.
Work and worry, though not proper
tional, arc closely connected, and an
excess Of the former soon entails an
increase in the. latter beyond the linn
its which the nervous system can bcal
with impunity, especially, under tho
conditions under which work has TO
be done. The machinery for organ,
izlng the work Of community has to
be rigid and inflexiblc and in the
stra.n involved in bringing q chang
ing organism into harmony with .
/ machine, the former must inevitably
suffer. -Loncio,, Lancet

An Idol OF. Christian Lands.

Tobacco, the amount of $3.50, ,00O,-
Ooo, is used in this country annually.
ms is about seven dollars to each
person, or thirty for each man.
And what does it mean.
One drop Of nicotine-ex extract of to-
bacco-placed on the tonguc'of a dog,
Will Kill him in minute P; the iund-
redth part of a grain picked under the
skin of mans arm, will produce
nausea and fainting. That which
blackens old tobacco pipes is cmpy-
reumatic oil, grain of which would
kill man in q few second.
The half-dozen cigars which most
smokers use a day, contain six or
seven grains'--enough, if conccntra-
ted and absorbed, kill three men and
O. pound OF tobacco, according to its
quality, contains from one-quarter to
oneiand quarter ounces.
Is it strange then that smokers and
chewers have q thousand ailments /?
that German physicians attribute one
half of the deaths among the young
men Of that country to tobacco? that
the French Polytechnic Institute had
to prohibit its use on account of it's
effects on the mind? that men grow
dyspeptic, hypochondriac, insane,
delirions, from its use? One of the
direct effects of tobacco is to weaken
the heart. Note the multitude Of
"suddent deaths," and sec how many
ore smokers and shcwers. In small

rious providences" occurred within
