SLEEP THE BEST srlMULASr.

The best possible thing for a, man to
do when he feels too weak to carry his
work through, is to go to bed and
sleep a week il ne can. This is the ON
ly true recuperation of the brain force.
Because during sleep the brain is In, q
state of rest, and in a condition to re@
ceive and appropriate PARTICLES of nu-
triment from the blood which take tho
place of those which have been con-
suned in previous labor, ,since the very
act of thinking consumes, burns up
solid PARTICLES, as every turn of the
wheel or screw of the splendid steamer
is the result Of consumption by fire of
the fuel in the furnace. The supply OF
consumed brain substance can only be
had from the nutritive PARTICLES in the
blood, which were obtained from the
food previously eaten, and the brain Ia
so constituted that it can best receive
and appropriate to itself those nutri-
tive particles during a state OF rest, of
quiet and stiffness in sleep, Mere
stimulants supply nothing in them
selves they only goad the brain, force
il to a greater consumption OF It's sub
stance, until that substance has been SO
exhausted that there Ia not power
enough left to receive ~ supply, just as
men are so near death by thirst and
starvation that there is not power
enough to swallow anything and all is
over. fr5fi-..s tf,5t r.H4t s., i.fi3ftitir

About the lst of January there ssSp-
peared In the New York Herald an al.
vertisement inquiring for the address
of tthe daughter of the late Horace
Meech," !" to whom, it stated, the late
VIM. q. Glynn Of Boston had, by viii.
left "a fortune of o,OO0, application TO
be made to Mr.. Choate, fremont street,
Boston. .4 .Ets
Mr.. Horace Mech was many years
agoa weli-known resident OF Albany.
William @. Glynn' was at the satfie
time-perhaps n quarter of century
ago--a teacher OF music In, that sscity.
Among his pupils was Miss Meech,
daughter of the aforesaid. Glynn fali
in love with the young lady, and she,
presumably, with him, and they were
married. The parents were bitterly OPP
posed to the match, and succeeded, In
u few months, in persuading their
daughter to leave him. A divorce fol-
lowed. Glynn removed to Boston,
and Was lost to sight. His divorced
wife soon married young gentleman
In Rochester, who died not long after
ward in the South. The widow mar
riesi, for the third time, gentleman
In Buffalo. He also, died, leaving the
widow with one daughter, now grown
up, married, anu herself a mother, 81.
The widow, in reduced circumstan-
ces, was living witha sister on Staten
Island, when some Albany friensis,see
ing by chance the advertisement, iae-
quainted her with Its contents. She at
once took measures to secure the boz
nanza left her by her first love. 1t
seems that Glynn, after removing to
Boston, lnadela fortune In the music
business. Time, however, nor circum-
u rerndR him "a tI,.. vtwl he
left behind him." although she Ind
thrice married, and had become a
grandmother since his eyes had beheld

THE DARDANELLEs.

This strait, anciently known as the
Heilespont, has taken its present name
from the four forts built at it's entrance
in the seventeenth century-two by
Mahomet II and two by Mahomet Nv.
These were constructed to prevent the
approach of war ships to Constantino-
pie. Put in good condition and armed
with the artillery of these days, they
would trouble the passage of any fleet,
though they have been repeatedly pass
ed, and might therefore make the pre-
tence of the Porte to close the strait
rather more than diplomatic curiosi-
ty. This pretence has been formally
recognized by treaties in 1909, in IS4l,
in 1856 and in 1871. In 1871 the Com
ference of London, called in conse-
quence of Russia's repudiation, in 1870,
of certain clauses of the Treaty OF Paris,
Idecreed the continuation of this restric-
tion as declared in the Treaty Of Paris,
but conceded the Suftan's authority to
permit the passage of the ships OF
friendly Powers in time OF peace.
This concession OF the Sultan's esau-
thority" in his own dominions indi-
Gates that the closure of tho Dardanelles
had i'm course of time become of greater
interest to another Power than to Tur-
key, and it was the consent of that
Power-England--t was thus given
to the Padishah. In the circular OF
1868, in regard to the passage of the
Wabash, the Sultan claimed to exer-
else this restriction as a territorial right.
It was in that sense that the Treaty of
Paris affirmed the right, as an ancient
one but that treaty even deprived the
Sultan of the right of consent In regard
to it. There are, therefore, some ra-
tional and legal entanglements that are
rather queer. The Dardauelles are
within the Sultan's territory but they
are closed, not by his will, but by the
will of remote naval Power, and yet
that Power does not exercise authority
there as it might by mere force on the
high seas, but constitutes thesovereign
Sultan the executive of its will; and
though it is not ready to fight for the
maintenance of this right it calls out on
! Europe to maintain it and not let vic
torious Russia encroach therein, be
cause this would be IA violation of the
privileges of the poor old Sultan.-N

THE AMENDMENTS.

A committee has been appointed by
the General Assembly to suggest
amendments to the the present Con-
stitution, and In a few days their re-
port will be submitted to the LegisIa-
ture. We fear very much that when
these amendments are submitted for
ratification by the people that they will
fall stili-born. The necessary interest
and enthusiasm to carry them through
successfully will be wanting, and those
who now urge this mode ofrelief as the
safest will then awaken to this error.
Amendments are always cumbersome,
even when but few are submitted, but
I'm this case 1t will be still more SO, from
the fact that they must be numerous,if
genuine relief is intended. The advo-
Gates of amendments do not fully ap-
preciate the dangers OF the situation,
and in refusing to call a Convention
they let pass brilliant opportunity to
place the party on record, and secure
to the people "a lasting relief.-- Marks

quirc into the influence Of tobbaco on the

that a large number of the diseases Of the
