ELECTION BETTING,
Ten Thousand Acres of Tennessee
Land ON "WhO was Elected >
President

Ten Thousand Acres of Teuneasee
Land on "WhO was Elected -
President.
Chicago Times, August ISL
Mr.. Perlee H. Webster is a Dem
ocratic politician of Chicago. He
Joined a company Of rangers and
went around with a big drum and
a torch during the time of the cleo
tion, and halooed himself hoarse
shouting for Tilden.
Presently he came across man
named John E. Burton, who was a
bad Republican. John was shout
ing as loud for Hayes and Wheeler
asIWebster was for Tilden and Hen
drlcks. lit length these two ardent
politicians came together. They
argued with one another, and final
ly offered to back up their respec-
tive opinion by betting.
Mr.. Webster said he had parcel
of land in Humphrey CO., Tenn,
worth $40, 900, which he would put
up against any similar amount of
property. Burton also had a tract
of land in Illinois, which he valued
at $4,000. 1t was agreed that
deeds should be made out to each
other, which documents were to be
placed in the hands of Henry Whip
pie, a mutual acquaintance. If Til
den was elected, Whipple was to
hand over the deed of Burton's land
to Webster. If Hayes was elected,
Whipple was to hand over the deed
Of Webster's land to Burton. The
deeds were executed and placed in
Whipfle's hands.
When election returns began to
get rather mixed, and when, after a
while, the Louisiana Returning
Board got the matter into their
hands, Webster walked around to
Mr. Whipple, and informed him
that his opinion was that Mr.. Til
den was fairly elected, and that he
should not, on any account, turn
over the deed to Burton. Whipple
disregardcd the wishes of Webster,
and soon after Hayes Inauguration
he handed Burton the deed for
Webster's land.
Webster yesterday filed a volum-
inous bill in chancery against Bur
ton and Whipple, narrating this
whole transaction, and calling upon
the court to set the transfer aside,
and also asking for an injunction
restraining Burton from selling the
property.

The ODium Habit.
Correspondence St. Louis Times,I

Correspondence St. Louis Times
New YoRK, August "a.
The poor wretch, DR.. Sanford,
who so abandoned himself to the use
of opium that to obtain it he be-
came a thief and fell into the hands
Of the police, was sent to the peni-
tentiary the other day for his crime.
His case is one Of the most shock
ing in all tho annals of opium
eating. Although but thirty years
old, he may be said to be utterly
destroyed, both physically and men
tally. He had been in the Tombs
nearly week, yet his stupor was
seemingly as heavy when he was
brought into court as at the time of
his arrest. He had neither law
yer nor friend to intercede for
him, and the court had to assign
him couns'l. The miserable man,
who had only a few years ago been
a practicing physician, had become
mere driyeling imbocile, with
mind almost entirely gone and body
covered from head to foot with
sores made by his own hand when
forcing the destructive drug into
his system. "0h, do not hang mel
do not hang mel let me be shot!"
was all he could say when ques-
toned in the court, Physicians
tell me that the opium habit stead
lily increases in New York, and |
am informed by druggists that the
demand for opium IN its various
forms is greater now than they have
yet known it to be. Both physi-
clans and druggists say people not
familiar with the subject have no
idea of the extent to which the
passion for opium prevails. There
are scores oil persons in New York
so habituated to the drug that
each consumes as much daily as
would kill half a dozen persons not
accustomed to the use of it, A
physician said to me not long since,
when speaking on this subject, that
doctors are more exposed to the
dangers of opium than any other
class, because it is always within
their reach, and many fall into the
habit of using it for the most triA-
ing personal ailments. A doctor
who committed suicide few
months ago, under circumstances
which made his death sensational,
is believed by his friends to have
been a victim of the opium habit.
Babies are too highly prized TO hermit
