Action Of Tobacco on the System

Some years ago the French govern
ment directed the Academy of Medi-
cine to inquire into the influence Of
tobacco on the human system. The
report of the commission appointed by
the Academy states that a large num-
Der of the diseases of the nervous sys-
tenn and of the heart, noticed in the
cases of those afflicted with paralysis or
insanity, were to he regarded as the
sequence of excessive indulgence in
the use of this article; and it is re-
marked that tobacco seems primarily to
act on the organic nervous system,
depressing the faculties and infuenc-
ing the nutrition of the body, the cir
culation of the blood, and the number
of red corpuscles in the blood. Atten-
tion is also called to bad digestion, be-
numbed intelligence, and clouded
memory of those who use tobacco to
excess

A Point in Insurance Practice.

Regina NIansbach took out policy
in 1870 upon the life of her husband in
the Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany. In 1873 the company refused to
take the premium then due, and cam
celled the policy, claiming that Mr..
Mansbach (who is still living) was
guilty of Misrepresentation when taking
out the policy IN saying that he had no
chronic disease, when in fact he was
suffering from bronchitis in a chronic
form. On the trial before Judge Van
Brunt, in the Supreme Court, special
term, two physicians who examined
Mansbach in 1873 testified that in their
opinion the disease was chronic three
years before. Judge Van Brunt, while
regarding it as doubtful whether any
physician could predict the condition
of any person at given time from any
examination two years afterwards, says
the examination in. this case was so
cursory and superficial that its result
could not be followed as against the
examination of a physician made at the
time the insurance was effected and
Mansbach's positive denial that he was
afflicted as charged. He holds further
that the plaintiff has an interest suffi-
cient to maintain the action, and that,
after the corlpany's refusal to receive
the premium, it was not necessary to
make further tender. He therefore
gives judgment for the plaintiff that the
company receive the premiums and
restore the policy.

A Murder More Than Century Ago.

In the old burial ground adjoining
the Goshenhoppen Reformed Church,
in Upper Hanover township, is tomb
stone which bears the inscription: ga.
D., Rosina Schultz, murdered June
14th, ammo 1850. Aged 90 years. For
death is come into our windows. Jer.
TX. :21." The Scriptual quotation has
an actual significance. The story of
the affair is now told as tradition.
Her husband was away from home, and
she lightly punished slave for some
offence. He made up his mind to kill
her, but better spirit prevailed, and
he went to work in the field. The old
story says that while there an apparition
in the form of white man appeared
before him and said, ''Don't kill her!"
1t disappeared and black man came,
who whispered, "Kill her!" These two
specters confronted him alternately all
day, until nightfall, when the white
man disappeared, leaving the black man
alone, who still kept telling him to kill
her. At midnight he seized butcher
knife, and. getting into her room
through a window, stabbed her and
fled. Thus it was that death came up
to her through her window. Norristown

Reviewing the events of the first year
of the second century Of American ma
tionality, the New York Herald finds
great occasion for rejoicing. 'We
have a good deal to be thankful for and
proud Of, on the Fourth of July, 1877,
it remarks, those of us, at least, who
are not seeking office" 1t congratulates
''the sensible American citizen" that
since the last Fourth Of July, we have
got new and honest Administration;
we have seen the settlement of the
Southern question; have President
who fearlessly deties the office-seekers
and is reforming the civil service; are
in fair way to have honest manage
ment of Indian affairs; have made some
steps toward resumption Of specie
payments; are getting out a loan at 4
per cent"
Let us wait until next Thanksgiving
Day, hoping that in the meantime this
rose-coiored picture will not fade, nor
lose even one whit of its brightness.

Hon. W. H. n. Stiles, the witness
who testified so pointedly against Grover
on Saturday, has published a long
statement in the Portland Oregonian
in which he says that he has divulged
these things because he, as Democrat,
repudiates the action of Grover in
trying to cheat the Republican party
out Of an electoral vote in Oregon. He
says the Democratic party does not and
cannot approve such desperate expe-
dent, and will repudiate the man who

country.
