DEATH FROM HUNGER-THE SENSATIONS
Observation-Disclosures CAsE.-The
interest in the Rubenstein case is excited by
the fact that experiencing-as is claimed by
some he must have eXperienced-the ter
rible cravings of hunger, which have some
times led men to kill their fellows, have set
them crazy, or have forced them to gnaw
wood, iron, and even their own bodies in
their agony, this man day after day had the
almost preternatuIal self-control to throw
food away when it was offered him. Some
physicians have asserted that in the case OF
men in such position as Rubensteln the
will would be overpowered, and that the
arms would carry the food to the mouth in
stinctively in spite OF the will. 1t is as
serted in opposition to this theory that Ru-
bernstein did not care for food, after
having become weakened by eating
only small qualities. He grew thin
ner and thinner and weaker and
weaker, and as his vitality became ex-
hausted there was less demand for food, I'M
til finally the sight OF it became nauseating
and distasteful to him; thus his condition
assisted him in carrying out his design OF
starving himself to death. In support OF
this, doctors mention the example OF per-
son afflicted with disease, SO sick that he can
eat nothing and hates the sight OF food; OF
consumptives who have rejected nourish-
ment until their bones protruded through
their flesh; Of persons greatly troubled in
mind, or bowed down with grief or remorse,
who cannot eat. These persons, though he-
tually dying for want of nourishment, it is
claimed, do not suffer the pangs Of hunger,
which are not even felt in the presence Of
the greater trouble. 1t is urged that the ter
rors OF the law, the fear Of punishment
temporal and eternal-his superstitions, his
remorse, and his abject condition, rendered
even if such cravings were felt at all.-1ri-

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-Messrs. P.
r. Spence, Of Cincinnati, n. C. Hudson and
D. Collin, of St. Louis-all fine-cut-tobacco
men-were before the Committee on Ways
and Means to-day in regard to the limits Of
size in tobacco packages. They were heard
for two hours against the Treasury bill pro-
viding that oil plug or fine-cut shall be put
in retail packages, so that consumers will
always break the original stamp. 1t may be
confidently said the committee is opposed to
the proposed innovation of the revenue
laws, and that the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue himself has given up the PROPOSE
ton. 1t was originally proposed by the
Commissioner because he believed that in
selling fne-cut chewing-tobacco from
buckets and large boxes the Government
was without remedy for fraud. The right
Of consumer to buy portion Of plug or
paperful from bucket of fne-cut to-
bacco will therefore not be disturbed.

.-.... ABSURD REGULATIONS.
A change is evidently needed in the
regulation prescribed by the Department
of Admissions, which obliges every visitor
to pay ffty-cent note. The absurd
ity Of refusing a dollar for two persons,
or two dollars for four, is too evident
and annoying to be long continued. Hun
dreds were turned back from the gates,
which they had gained by patient waiting in
line. and obliged to fall in at the end Of a
longer one at the Office for changing money,
or submit to the extortion OF the spectators
in tifty-cent notes. A stalwart countryman
offered a one-dollar bill for himself and wife,
and was told, like thousands Of other visit
He expostulated little while with no effect
but to irritate the gatekeeper. Then he
roared in voice OF thunder: "Take the
money and let US in or I'll knock you down."
The affrighted official broke the rule and
allowed the couple to pass in Correspond
ence of Ne,o Yorh Tribune.

DRUNKENNESS IN GEnMANy.--Wo often
hear it said that in Germany where the peo-
pie drink mild liquors, such as wine and beer
there is little If any drunkenness. We invite
the attention to the subjoined letter written
by an intelligent and disinterested gentleman
in Hamburg:
Drunkenness is the greatest enemy OF all
working men regarding their health. wealth,
family happiness, and morals. Against this
plague not enough can be said and public at
tention is more drawn to it every day. Tie
Rhenish-Westphalia prison authorities
have, in an admirable manner, taken the case
in hand, and the horrible result was come To-
that seyenty-ive per cent Of the inmates OF
prisons have committed the crimes, for which
they now suffer, while in state Of intoxica-
ton. Everywhere, In town and country, olis
hears the complaint that stealing, embezslC T

POETRY.
THE HARDEsT TIME or All.


There are days ofdecpest sorrow
La the season Of ouf life
Thcre are wild. despairing moments;
There are hours OF mental strife,
There are hours OF stony anguish.
When the tears refuse to fall
But the waiting~tiise, my brothers,
Is the hardest time Of all.
Youth and love are oft impatient,
Seeking things beyond their reach
And the hcaTs grows sick with hoping,
Ere II learns what life eau teach.
For, bafore the fruit be gathered,
We must see the blossoms fall
And the waiting-tinle, my brothers.
Is the hardest time Of all.
We can bear the heat of conflict,
Though the sudden, crushing blow,
Beating back our gathered forces,
For moment lay us low,
We may rise again beneath it,
None the weaker iorour fall.
But the waiting-tifne ny brothers,
Is the hardest time Of all.
Yet OF last we learn the lesson
That God knowvffs hat Is best,
And silent resignation
Makes the spirit calm and b1est
For, perchance, a day is coming
For the changes OF our fate,
When our hearts will thank him meekly
That He taught us how to wait.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1876-08-23

Friendship isa vase which when it is flawe'i
by heat, or violence, or accident, may rs well be
broken at once--it can never be trusted after.
The more graceful and ornamental it was, the
more clearly do we discern the hopelessness
of restoring it to its former state. Coarse
stones if they are fractured, may DO ccment-
ed again precious ones never.
