Ancient history affords numerous
examples of this sudden and fatal Of
feet Of Joy. 1t is recorded of Chilo, q
Spartan philosopher, one OF the seven
wise men of Greece, that on seeing bis
son obtain a victory at Olympia, he
fell overjoycd into his arms, and i'm.
medately expired. Excessive and
sudden joy" says Haller, soften kills,
by increasing the motion Of the blood,
and exciting true apoplexy."
A case in illustration Of this remark
is detailed by an eminent physician.
A gentleman who had consented to be
nominated one of the executors in the
will OF an elderly person of considera-
bic property with whom he was ac-
quaintcd, received few years alter
wards, and at time when his own in
come was but limited, the unexpected
nows that the testator was dead, and
had left him solo executor together
with all his property, amounting to
three thousand a year. lie arrived in
London in great agitation, and on on &.
tering his own door, dropped down in
a fit of apoplezy, from which he never
entirely recovered for though he gain.

real faculties, his mind was shaken

Joy is also frequent cause of faint.

firmed melancholy, and catalepsy, orig

If he labors under any complaint of
the heart, or is tainted with any pre-.
disposition to mental disorder, the con.

Could joy be employed as u mcdi-
cine, administered with due regard
to time and measure, in drachm and
minim doses, the materia medica would
be forsaken, for, says the great Hal.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.

San Antonio is like nothing so much
as the little African town Of Blibah
that Eugene Fromcntin comes upon
In the midst Of the desert, set behind
jalcnsies, among gardens and foun.

There Is probably nothing like il IN

on every roof 1t is long red roof
usually, that, bending slightly, forms
also the root of the veranda. Most Of
the houses beneath IL are long and

SMALL FRuIrs IN GARDENs. - But
few people seem to know the value OF
small fruits to family, when grown
in their own gardens. You commence
with strawberries; they continue about
q month. You pick, perhaps, from six
TO twelve quarts day. You have
them on your table as dessert II you
please at noon, and your tea table Is
loaded with them in the evening, and
you will want little else but your
bread and butter. Your family con-
sumo, in enc way or another, about
eight quarts a day, and while they
last no medicines for bodily ailments
are required, as a quart Of strawbcr-
ries daily will generally dispcl oil or
binary diseases not settled permanent

raspbcrries come TO continue about
three weeks; then we have blackber.
RIGS where the climate is not too cold
for cultivated varieties; then the cur
rants ripen, which remain until the
early grapes mature; and taking the
season through any family with ahali
acre Of land in garden can grow
small fruits that mako country life de-
Iigbtful, and at the same time hun
dreds Of dollars can be saved In
the supply Of the table.

GENERAL ". b. FORREST.


The death of General Forrest a few
days ago brings out sketch of his
career, from which We extract the fol.
lowing:
General Forrest was not an educat.
cd soldier, but he had that within him
energy, dash and pluck-which goes
to make successful cavalryman.
That he was successful, his remarkable
marches and numerous victories fully
attest. More than one unwary FEEDER.
al General went into camp in fancied
security thinking the enemy hund-
red miles, away, and before morning
was awakened by an attack in force,
against which he was powerlcss His
excuse at headquarters would be that
il was Forrest who hud made tho at.
tack. Tho cavalryman's movements
were as rapid and eccentric as those
Of guerrilla, yet he carried with him
always large and well organized
force. Some one asked him Just before
the close of the war, whom his viuto.
rics made him particularly oonspicu.
Gus, what was The secret of his success.
In his own homcly way be said twas
by getting the most men thar fust."
Summer before last, when General
Judson Fitzpatrick was canvassing In
diana for the Republicans, he spoke of
General Forrest in such way that
tho latter challenged him to fight n
duel. As soon as the challenge was
sent Forrest wrote TO General Basil
Duke, Of Kentucky, that, in case his
Invitation was accepied-which he did
not doubt for u momcnt--he would call
on Duke TO bo his second. Tbs i....-
further said that in the necessary ar
rangement he would like General Duke
to insist that the duel should be fought
on horseback with sabres, as that was
the proper way for two cayalrymen to
meet. General Duke at once engaged
for his principal a stced for the en-
countcr-a horse recommended BY his
owner to 60 over n church steeplc i
necessary--and awaited General Kill
patrick's reply. Fitzpatrick, however,
declined TO fight, on The ground that
he and Forrest "did not move in the
same social sphere" Had this duel
taken place, II doubtless would have
been conducted IN style delightfully."-
