PREPARATIONS OF THE vIcToRs or LAST YEAR
FOR THE COMING coNrEsr-DEscRIPTIoN OF
THE CREW AND THEIR 1oRK IN THE PRES
ENr AND FUTURE.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Jan. &c, 1878.
The sources from which tho captain OF the
Harvard University Boat Club 10y the arrange
ments entered INTO between Yale anu Haryardi
draw his tho several different
departments OF the university. IL would seem
that having thus enlarged the field OF selection
there would come to compete the men who are
older moro experienced better trained than those
from the academic department alone, who. from tho
first with Yale in 1852 at Lake wnnipiseogee,
have formed the material of Harvard's crews. But
tho hope that from the enlargement OF tho
field OF selection would come men has been
disappointed during tho last years Last year the
crew drawn from the academic departments alone,
although IN the medical school and In the law school
were oarsmen who la 20 rowed IN former university
crews, and whose tncss for endurance and skill In
unquestioncd. Tho reason Of their unwill-
inguess to ana train that too much OF their
timc which their daily duties demanded, would DO
used up In their work for the crew. Then undoubt-
edy their enthusiasm had become less, and they did
not highly value tho chances OF success IN
aquatic contest Further than these there
none. Thus the burdens and gores Of boating fall
naturally on the heads OF undergraduates. who this
year have presented some OF tho best men Harvard
has brought out for intercollegiate struggle

CARBoIIC ACID FOR COUGHs ANDCATARRH-
The London Medical IL cord gives the expert
ence of DIR. MOTitZ in the use of carbOc acid
spray in catarrhal disease of the respiratory
organs. Having had much to do with carbOl
lie acid, and especially the spray, he noticed
that the bronchial catarrh with which he was
frequently troubled did not occur, and that, If
ii began, il was soon arrested. A colleague of
his, DR.. ASSeldelfft, made the same ObSerya-
tiCn. DIR. MOritZ used the spray of per
cent solution of caTb0lic acid. He first tried
10 on two children in wnom the commence
ment of whOoping-cOugh was suspected
After the remedy had been used two DAYS the
slight cataTrh which was present came to a
staDd-Stil, and i'll a few days disappeared In
several children With measles the cough was
diminished, and the nights were more quiet
after the use of caTbOlic-acid spray. In two
surgical patients also, whose lungs we're in a
suspicious state, the cough entirely disappear
ed during The frequent use of the spray. The
caTbOlic acid does not act as a cauterant for

not demonstrated that it eXerts any chemical
action u the false membranes, as some b ave
thought. 1t appears most reasonable that 1t
acts as a parasiticide, detrOyiug the prOtJ or

English and American Vehicles,

1t is very curious fact that just as the
Americans are getting up such a furOre over
the peculiar English styles the English are be-
ginning to adopt some of the most prominen
American ideas as TO road gear. 1t is we'll
known that English carriages have been
noted FOR their bulk and weight, while the dis
tInctlve characteristic of American carri ages
has been lightneSs. The fact is, English wheel
wrghtS could not turn out light vehicles
because their native woods are of an inferior
quality. 1t is said that they are now import
American manufacturers are in many iu
stances increa ing the size and weight Of their
vehicles to satisfy the wants of those Ameri
cans who have got the idea that a coach or
carriage to be elegant must be heavy. In Eng
land the heavy vehicle was more appropriate
Tor 1t correspondent with the greater weight of
The English horses, as compared with Ameri-
can stock. But American ingenuity has met
this want, and vehicles are now made in th l.
country to show the fancied heavy appearance
without being in reality heavy. There is
another curious fact jim connection with this
part OF the case. 1t is Well known that in
Great Britain fora great many years there has
been heavy tax on all four wheeled carriages
while the tax on two wheelerS has been little
or nothing at all. This had the effect of bring
ing twO-wheeled vehicles into popular use
wherever they could be made to answer the
purpose. Without the excuse of economy. two
wheeled vehicles are the ones most favored i'm
his country at the present day. I'm Europe
these twQkwheeerS are used for any purpose
even the transportation of dogs to the hunt or
NtOwing away of potatoes or market Stuffs
Yet this is the kind of Vehicle that has become
popular and fashionable OF late in this coup-

interesting experience with voudoo doctor.
1t seems that DR.. Pickney Wallis, colored, at
tended one Steve Brown, also colored, in the
neighborhood of Chicks Springs, and declared
that his patient was infested with frogs that
had deposited their eggs in his heels, being
induced to do SO through a charm wrought
by four other darkieS. He charged Steve
$50 to relieve him. Steve was relieved and
went back to work, the witnesses testifying
that as each egg was taken from his mouth the
frog. could be heard to .croak in his stoma ch.
Wallis was thus established In fame, and was
for the time regarded by some of the colOred
citizens as a bigger man than Hampton. He
tried his arts, however, upon another patient
shortly afterward and ignominiously failed
The case was that of white man who had
"fuctuation" in his stomach. Wallis persu adj
ed him that he contained pilot snake and a
frog in his stomach, and that the chasing of
the latter by the former through the intestinal
mazes caused the '.fiuctuation." Wallis's
began to doubt. Finally, the Indignation took
the form of mob, and Wallas, fearing his life
was endangered, fed the country With his
disappearance confidence was restored once
