chamber Journal L

There is no end of books written by
English and French medical men on the
preservation of health and attainment of
longevity. For the most part, they are
not of any practical value. They ex-
patiate on the constituent elements of the
body, the chemistry of digestion, the os-
seous structure, and such-like matters.
They strangely miss the main object in
their theme, which is to point out a
course of living, with mental and bodily
conditions that would tend to secure
health and the protraction of existence.
Does this arise from want of grasp, or
from fear of treading on popular
prejudices? On the topic of health, the
world stands in need of writer with the
fearlessness of Luther, the acute reason
ing of Pascal. and the incisive humor of
Moliere
The latest learned authority on health
and long life bores us with lacteals, azot-
lied substances, albumen, lumbar lynn
phatics, chyle, the thoracic duct, and
similar jargon. A long list is given of
persons who lived to be upward of 100
years Of age. What did these centena-
rians know of fibrin, the mesenteric
glands, and all the rest of it? Some were
paupers, many were Woodworking people
in common life. Most likely not half
dozen in the whole lot knew anything
about their inside. They lived in a
variety of ways. The diet of woman
who lived to be III is said to have been
buttermilk and greens, of which we have
some doubt. Some were very temperate,
and others quite the reverse. One old
fellow who reached 104 drank pint and
a half of London gin daily. An Irishman
who lived to be III drank plentifully of
rum and brandy to the last. With ex-
ceptions of that kind, to be reckoned
wonders in nature, temperance and SIM
plicity of diet were the chief character
istic. Old age has been attained not by
any hard and fast rule, but by number
OF circumstances, as seen by general ex-
perience.

"The Next TOwn.o


Yesterday afternoon a citizen on his
way to the Post-ofice was halted by a
woe-begone tramp who looked as If a
dinner of shinge-nails and currycombs
would be gladly welcomed if served up
warm.
"You have the same old story to tell,
suppose" said the citizen, as he came to
a halt.
"No, sir, I haven't" was the prompt
reply; ~ am simply about to ask your
advice. You look like keen, sharp
business man, and | thought I'd ask you
what you thought Of my going on to the
next town."
"Why-why, go on, of course" STAN
mered the citizen.
"That's your advice, is it?" continued
the tramp. 81 shall leave it all to you
and do just as you say about it. have
every confidence in your judgment"
"Yes; | think you can't get out of
town too soon."
"And if you were me would you bor-
row a quarter to get supper on before
you leftT
"No; ! wouldn't. Iworldn't wait for
supper"
"All right. You seem to be kind
hearted, well-posted man, and will take
your advice" quietly observed the tramp,
as he moved away.
The citizen looked after him until he
was lost in the distance, never once
thinking of calling him back and hand
ing him a quarter. He had had the
same game played on him twice before

A good story is tod of Gen. Clifford,
who is now Lord Chclmsford's second in
command. One day in British Kafraria
during the Kaffir war of 1S46-4S, he was
in the act of sitting down on the ground,
placing one hand beneath him for the
purpose. He felt something clammy to
the touch, and found to his horror it was
puff adder, a most venomous reptile.
With great presence of mind he held the
snake down firmly with one hand, with
the other drew his clasp-knife from his
pocket, opened it with histeeth, and then
coolIy severed the reptiles head from its
body. If General Clifford displays the
same quantity of cool courage in mo-
ment of great danger he will prove a val
liable lieutenant to the General-in-Ch Chief.

Boston Herald Ind \: The haste with

Boston Herald Gnd): The haste with
which Mr.. Thurman, as President pro
TEN. of the Senate, gave his assent to the
removal of subordinate officers of that
body, was highly indecent. The rule re-
quiring the Endorsement of the presiding
officer in such cases.was adopted in 1854,
when both branches of Congress were
Democratic, and it was based on the idea
that the Senate is continuous body,
and as such should not be disturbed by
changes made merely for the sake of
party. There are some people in this
country who believe that the offices are
not merely rewards for party service, and
the greediness of the Democrats ofends
them. Thurman knows better, and his
behavior in this case will hurt him
among people whose good opinion he can
ill afford to lose.

lfortillButly heNleW.
The disguise of great abstract words
hides from us what our alleged civilizing
influence in South Africa really comes
to. People talk asif occupation by Eng
land meant the dispersion over these be-
nighted lands of thousands of men like
Mr.. Samuel Morley, or Lord Shaftes-
bury, or the late Mr.. George Moore. How
little this is the case, Mr.. Froude has
told with characteristic energy of die
ton. '1n the English colonies in South
Africa, at any rate" he says, "there are
a set of people who answer to the mean
whites of the Southern States of Amer
lea. A large portion of our people are
more or less vagabonds." Land-swind-
lers, miners in search of work, liquor
dealers anxious for new openings for
trade, spurious gold hunters, broken
down spectators, reckless adventures of
every species-these are our contribu-
tions to civilizing and Christian inhu-
ences. These are Sir B. Frere's "peace-
loving and civilized men of European de-
scent" Is it to make a career for knaves
and desperadoes like these that we are to
endure the ever-increasing burden of
South African wars?

New York, April IS.
Editor of the Journal of Commerce:
Should two steamboats, of the same model
and strength of engines, one of which was
propelled by screw and the other by pad
dies, have q race on smooth water. which
would be most likely to win, and which
would make the greatest speed in rough
water, say crossing the ocean?
lNoUIsITIvE.
REpLY.-It is now generally conceded
that the conditions being the same the ad-
vantage is on the side of the propeller. We
believe that an experiment made on the
Clyde some years since (the date and par
ticulars of which are not readily at hand)
demonstrated this fact The steamers of
the same power and exactly similar model,
the one a side-wheel vessel and the other
fitted up with screw, were made fast stern
to stern. heading in opposite directions.
The utmost power of their engines was then
applied, and the result was in favor of the
propeller, the power Of the screw overcom-
ing that of the paddles, and forcing the for
mer vessel ahead in spite of the resistance
offered by her opponent.

Unnecessary Excitement.

A report was current upon the streets
this morning that shooting case had
taken place In "Folly woeds," and that
some one must have Deon killed. About
10 o'clock farmer who was coming to
market, and while passing through the
woods, heard q noise resembling the
discharge of gun. He did not stop to
investigate tho cause Of tho noise, but
Sergeant Doian informed him Of what
he had heard. The matter was investi-
gated and was found that party who
had not recovered from the Fourth OF
July were discharging q number OF
large sized fire crackers. The report was
very much exaggerated, some saying that
the cry of murder was distinctly heard
but such was not tho case.
