The PerilS Of Iced Tea.

Beware the cup. In these days Of raging
thermometers and busy Corouers it is fraught
with peril 1t amazes US, sometimes, to think
how long the people of America have been
permitted to so on dallying with this living
death, unwarned by the monitions of science.
1t is seldom that scientific men have been so
criminaly negligent as they have shown them
selves to be in this matter of iced tea. They
have been prompt enough to warn us of the
poisonous qualities of everything else we
like to eat or druk from the bill OF fare, and

comes along DR.. Holland in Scribner for July
and assures US that the Graham system of diet
starves more New Englandsrs to death in six
months than die from all other causes in
year. Blessed be the name Of Dr.. Holland
for that statement! He doesn't put it quite so
strongly as that, but that is the way we believe
it. Scientific men, learned men in the pro-
fessions, have compelled US to drop the lus-
cieus strawberry in terror, by screaming out to
us that it would give US the hydrophobia. They
have made US heart-sick with apprehension BY
showing that the tempting peach in our hands
was reeking with the deadly prussic acid. They
have filled our ice-cream with poisonous I'M
purities. They have forbidden US to drink

As n very important source of strength

avoiding likewise the accumulation of

Alabama on August 6. The Republicans
have practically abandoned all these States

is but little interest beyond the election of a
Legislature, which will elect Mr.. Merrimon's

A MAINE correspondent of the Woy

A MAINE correspondent of the World,
writing under date of July 9th, does not
speak favorably of the Greenback prospects !:
He says: "The Democratic candidate for
Governor, DIR. Garcelon, already stands on a
hard-money platform, so that the vote for
Mr.. Smith, the Greenback nominee, will
show the exact strength of that party in the
State. 1t is safe to predict that it will be
much less than has been claimed, either by
the Greenbackers themselves or by the press
generally. Indeed he who should predict
that the State will go Republican, as usual,
with perhaps slight decrease in the major
ity, and that five Republican Representatives
will be elected to the next Congress, might
be reasonably certain that his prediction
would be verified. He might so further and
boldly assert that the Greenbackers will nev-
er more be heard of in this State as party
after the coming election"
