nervous troubles, which are peculiar to
the present but not TO an earlier period
Going back still further for purposes Of
comparison. he shows that mot only
were many Of the nervous maladies. so
prevalent now quite unknown three cen
turies ago, but those which are common
to those eras and ours are far less abun-
dant than now" Lastly he points TO
the multiform nervous disorders now
found among women.
There is no specific for inebriety. II Is
q constitutional ailment, to be treated
constitutionally. IL Is not necessarily
due to alcoholism. Chloral and opium
inebriety are already becoming danger
ously common; and there are hundreds
Of other stimulants and narcotics to
which resort may be had. The only
remedial course is TO place the inebriate
where alcohol or the provoking cause Of
his ailment cannot be had; for the sight
Of it, or the smell Of it, will excite all the
desire for il. To this treatment seda-
tives, tonics, and nutritious food to build
up the system may be added. To persons
having any tendency 10 inebriety, the
only safe course Is absolute abstinence
during early life. As regards the human
race, the disease finds its remedy in
itself; for degeneracy in any direction
cannot 60 on indefinitely; and after any
qualities. good or bad, attain n certain
stage OF growth, they cease to reproduce
themselves. The excessively feeble and
nervous stocks must perish. and the fight
for existence be maintained between the
less nervous and the well balanced and
strong and thus, by process Of sue
cessive eliminations. a race may be de
veloped that shall be every way adapted
to the complex conditions Of high civ
Ilization.

Chemical Heterodoxy.

The Independent has been losing some
subscribers because il holds that a dilu-
tion OF sugar with water will, by fermen-
tation, produce alcohol. IL seems TO Us
highly amusing that a work on element
airy chemistry should be regarded by any
one as an invention Of the devil, and as
destructive Of public morals, but so ii IT,
Says that paper.
We knew perfectly when we expressed our
opinion frankly about the Bible and total alb
stinencey that u would provoke a great many
ana probably lose rs some subscribers. We
would rather lose every subscriber we have
this last subject we wish TO be very plain. We
hold total abstinence 20 be a duty easily doduc-
Bbea Prsespt Or Biblical s2ampe eqs nqThFs we fG b
heve that drunkenness is the most prolific evil
misery than any other crime. ana ne first stsp
to Il Is moderate drinking.
Not exactly correct. We have several
examples OF total abstinence in the Scrip
lures, and it was regarded as a virtue,
but these exceptions only prove the pre-
vailing custom. Those who wish to use
the temperance regulations Of Judea in
the time Of Christ, in this age, are bound
to give US the same conditions. They
must cleanse the blood Of this genera
ton Of the inherited and absorbed effects
OF tobacco, patent medicines, opium, tea,
coffee, luxurious living, alcohol drinking,
and overwork They must clear out OF
our country all brandies, whiskies, and
those maddening compounds Of acetate
and strychnine, so that there shall not
be gill Of any Of them within the limits
Of the confederacy. After all this is
done, thoroughly aud unmistakably done,
We shall not say a word against general
moderate winedrinking until we see how
1t works. IL is all right to carry a shovel
OF burning Goals from ones kitchen to
the family room; but a man who would
carry II through powder magazine de
serves to go TO the penitentiary. Our
farmers have perfect right to fire their
log-heaps and brush, under proper cir
cumstances; but IL one Of them should
fire his clearing in September drouth.
and In high wind, when the land was
covered with dry grass and leaves, aud
set with grain stacks-well, his neighbors |
and the law would be apt 10 make il hot |
for him. If a large proportion Of our |
people are not now masses OF charred |
tinder, liable to be set on Gre with the /
spark Of liquid fire in the purest wine |
cup, then we do not know anything |
about the condition Of society. Ii IS |

physician who had kindly interested
himself in her case, and an officer de-
tailed to keep the peace, appeared, one
at a time. The officer remained outside.
with no appearance of having any bust
ness there, while the other two persons
/ entered as il by chance. The wretched
woman was found groaning and writhing
in state next to insanity, with the firm
belief that she was such a sinner that she
was going to be burned alive. Her hus-
band sat there in stolid indifference, ap-
/ parently well satisfied that he had sue
ceeded in bringing about this feeling Of
self-condemnation. With wild and pite-
Gus cries she appealed to the Christian
woman TO know if it were possible that
she had done so wickedly that she must
be burned alive. She was assured In
kindest words that her fears were
groundless-that she had Savior who
loved her and was only too willing to
forgive every sin, whenever she asked
him. With these assurances her troub-
led spirit seemed at rest, and fearless of
her husband, she cried out, ooh, take me
from thi9 place, / can endure il no Ion.

to be able to say, you shall 90 this very
hour" At this the husband became so
enraged that he was about 10 attack the
physician, when the officer made his ap-
pearance, and like the speed Of lightning
the guilty man passed out of sight and
was seen no more.
The poor woman was made clean and
clothed in whole gar nents, and gently
borne from an abode where there had
been neither light nor warmth, nor food
no. raiment, nor CO ufort nor sympathy
for many long, wea,y month"; She is
now much improved in. condition, al
though he physicians say there is little
hope for her ultimate recovery. The
children were only too accustomed to
scenes Of violence to be disturbed by this
one, though when they saw their mother
being born away they screamed with a
terror that must have touched the heart
OF one who thousaT d years ago so low
ingly said, Feed my Lambs And
there WIS the ministering hand. The |
little ones were washed, and decently |
clothed and comforted until they seemed |
ira as ormed, and when they arrived at |
their new home on Mt. Auburn, and |
were led into the pleasant, home-like /

ment, the like, probably, neyer having |

ing all the attention possible at the hos

upon which to found hope for recovery.
The iather-all that is known of him is,
that he returned to the house next day,
gathered up the cast-of clothing of his
wife and children, sold them to a rag
man, and went of, perhaps to join the
army of tramps.
