Mental Excitement

Bad news weakens the action OF the
heart. Expresses the lungs. destroys
the appetite. stops digestion, and par
TALLY suspends all the function Of the
system. An emotion OF shame fushrs
the face; fear blanches it; and an in
slant thrill electrifies IL million of
nerves. Surprise spurs the pulse into
IL gallop. Delirium infuses great en-
ergy. Violation commands, and hun
drsds Of muscles spring to execute.
Powerful emotion often kills the body

Sophoclcs died of Joy ut the Grecian
games. The news OF defeat killed

| 1t Is not necessary TO remind the
naders of The REPUBLICAN OF the
1rgely increased amount OF reading
natter Ia the paper since January 1st.
To give some idea of the increased
amount we will give the figures of
comparison between what The RE-
PUBLICAN was three weeks ago and
what IL Is now. On December 2Sth
the first page Of The REPUBLICAN con-
tanned seven columns OF reading mat
ter. This issue contains two columns
more on the first page. The second
page contained then six columns, to-
day 1t has nearly seven columns. The
third page had four columns, to-day
1t has over five. The fourth page
then had three columns, in this issue
it has seven, and an increase Of four
columns. Counting the increase by
columns we find that to-day there are
eight columns more OF reading mat
ter than there has been In any issue
during the past year previous to De-
cenber 18th. 1t has from six to eight |
columns more Of reading matter than |
