CONSTIPATION.

IT Is doubtful if consumption numbers
as many victims as are stricken down by
the various diseases hat result from hab-
itual constipation. True consumption is
an inherited disease. 1t may remain always
dormant, but, when aroused to action, de-
cay extends-unless ar~rested-until so
much Of the lungs become involved that
vital action ceases. The evils of constipa-
tion result from inattention to the calls OF
nature, and usually with chill
dren whose habits are not closely looked
to by their parents. The processes OF ma
ture are always active while life lasts, says
Halls Journal of Health. When effete
matter is retained q moment beyond the
time its expulsion is demanded. the system
commences its efforts to get rid Of it.
When the natural egress is checked, the
absorbents carry the more fluid portions
OF the poisonous mass into the circulation,
and it becomes diffused throughout the
body. The more solid or clay-like portion
10 forced into the lower rectum, where it
becomes impacted, thus cutting of the cir
culation in the small blood vessels, caus-
ing painful engagements known as piles
and hemorrhoids. A continuance OF these
troubles often results in assure, fistula or
cancer. The trouble is seldom confined
here. As a result Of the blood poisoning
we almost invariably find more or less
dyspepsia, with decided arrangement of
the functions Of the heart. liver and kid
neys. accompanied by headache and ner-
vous debility, often verging on paralysis.

THE Public school SYSTEM.

Mr.. Richard Grant White contributes
to the North American Review Tor NO
yember a discussion OF what he describes
as "The Public School Failure This
title indicates Mr.. Whites purpose OF
creating a sensation, as well as Mr..
Whites gloomy views upon the puphc
school system /; for most americans,
whether themselves graduates of the pub
lie schools or not, are very firmly con
WINGED that the common school system,
whatever its defects may be, is further
from being a failure than almost any
other institution in this country. This
conviction will not be in the least i'm
paired by Mr.. Whites article. The artl'
Gle is in form an indictment oil the pubic
school system. In fact, it is a recital OF
various abuses of the public school sys-
fem. most of which are real abuses and
urgently need redress, but which do not
furnish any grounds for MIR. Whites
conclusions. His postulate that "lgnor-
ance has no necessary connection with
vice" is little more than a bubble.
knowledge does not annul and often
does not restrain vicious tendencies, but
it does teach the person who possesses 1T
to avoid crime, and this is the sufficient
justification for the public school system.
To prove that the public school system
did not prevent crime it would be ncces-
sary to prove that an American boy OF
sixteen, who had been taught in the pub
lie schools. was as likely to commit
crime as an absolutely ignorant immi-
grant of the same age. Mr.. White
makes an attempt to show some such
state of things by producing the veneer
able figures from the census OF 1850,
showing the comparative population, the
comparative illiteracy and the prison re-
turns of six selected Southern States and
the six New England States. In order
to make these figures of any value it
would be necessary to compare the crimi-
nal laws OF the States in question, and
to classify the crimes. 1t is given to few
people to handle statistics so as to ex-
tract any useful lesson from them, and
Mr.. White is not one Of those few. His
essay will be freely quoted, no doubt, by
those persons who demand the division OF
the school fund, and to them it will be a
boon. But it is altogether too superfic-
ial in it's examination of facts, too reck-
less in its assumptions and too hasty in
its conclusions to have any value as a
contribution to the discussion of its sub
iect.

A New York dispatch says there was
a special meeting of Central Pacific and
Union Pacific Directors and largest stock
holders last night at the residence OF
President Huntington, for the purpose OF
arranging the consolidation of the two
roads and their branches. Jay Gould
was present, and it was rumored at a late
hour that a basis had been arranged and
the conditions of the scheme agreed upon,
details of which are to be submitted to
stockholders. 1t is thought that the
shipment of over 5000, 600 shares of
Central Pacific stock to London shows
that the managers expect to float stock
in Europe.

NEW RAILROADS TO THE SOUTH.
WARD.

The Atchison, Topeka and Sonta Fe
Railroad, remarks the Examiner, is caus-
ing a circular to be printed by the East
ern press announcing a connection OF its
road with the California Pacific early IN
in January next; from and after that
date a through route to the Pacific will
be opened up to business, and the atten-
ton of traders and travellers is being
called to the fact. The first-named COM
pany, after making this connection, in
tends to push its track across the Mexican
border to Guaymas on tine Pacific Coast.
An important branch of the same road
is far IN its way towards FL Paso, on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande, and NOV
ing forward at the rate of two miles per
day. The California Southern Pacific
from the West and the Texas Pacific
from the East will lay their connection
rails in FL Paso by the LIST of March, 1881.
A large and magnificent union depot is
now being built there by these companies.
With the railroad business and the traffic
interest centering on the left bank OF the
Rio Grande at this point, the City OF
Mexico-the Hall of the Montzumas-
will soon hear. the whistle OF American
railroad enterprise in its very streets.
The construction of these roads through
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colo
RADIO. Texas and into Sonora in Old Mex
leo. will give new life and new interests
to the great mining industries scattered
over these vast regions. Our citizens
generally ought to take notice OF these
marvellous strides of the iron-horse.

A DISPATCH from Washington says
three Republican members elect of the
Forty-seventh Congress-Mr. Frye, of
Maine; Mr.. Robson, of New Jersey,
and Hr. Morton, OF New York-are I'M
derstood to be candidates for the United
States Senate, and if elected would
make vacancies in Congress which would
have to be filled by special election. In
the other event-Mr. Morton should ac-
cept a position in the Cabinet vacancy
would occur in the New York delegation
which would have to be filed by special
election. The fact that the few Green
hackers elected to the Forty seventh
Congress will probably hold the balance
of power in the organization of the next
House, in connection with the election of
Democrats to fill the vacancies in New
York and New Jersey. causes great anx-
iety here among Republicans, who hope
to elect the next Speaker, and through
him to organize the committees and con.
troll the business of the House in the
Forty seventh Congress.

A Curious Fact abouNfread.

A Paris correspondent calld IGNITION
to a curious fact about bread, ia letter
to a New Orleans paper. He says:
Ibid you know that bread is not only
eaten, but eats? Darwin has told us
that some flowers enjoy a porter-house
steak. TIE discovery IS :l+sscsting tc
dyspeptics, for bread can be made % do
the work of the alimentary canal and
relieve dyspeptics OF all bethnr except
mere deglutition-and of course paying
the bakers bill, which is harder work
than digestion. Science has sif
that several vegetable juices pr saps,
dissolve meat, but NJ. ScheuuFKestner
is the first person who observed that in
the process of bread making a peculiar
fermentation takes place which pro
duces complete digestion of meat. A
beefsteak mashed fine and mixed with
dough containing yeast dis ppears en-
tirely by the time the bread is taken
from the oven. Tue steaks nutritive
principles are dissolved and incorpo-
rated into the bread. Not the least Gu
rious phenomenon noticel in these
circumstances is that M at, which so
rapidly becomes putrid, when once in
corporated into bread, may be kept
longer than ordinary bread. Bread
made in 1873 has been shown in the
Academy of Science; it was as sweet
and free from mold as when it first
came out of the Atfrst NJ. Scheu-
rer Kestner used raw meat; he mixed
one and one-tenth pounds of flour, II
pound of leaven and three-fourths Of a
pound of raw beef minced fine; water
in sufficient quantity Was added, and
the dough was left to ferment. In two
or three hours the meat had disap-
peared. The bread Was then baked as
usual. This meat bread had a disagree
able sour taste. TO remove it NJ. Scheu-
rer Kestner first boiled the meat in Just
elle 4uaulltS VI "aeei heSe@o"4J w ~
the flour, and used this waterin knead-
ing. The meat should be rid q Slfat,
and only salt enough to season The
bread added; for if salt be added the
bread will become humid (salt being u
great absorber of water) and spoil.
The objection to this bread is that it is
insipid. If bacon be used instead of
beef the objection is removed. Veal,
too, makes a delicious meat bread.
All these breads may be used to make
soup. Cut into slices one-siXth of a
pound of this bread, put the slices in a
quart of water, salt to taste, and boil
for twenty minutes"

Famous Dogs.

Of the two most eminent dogs Of our
d%ay-Prince Bismarck's Tyras and

just joined the canine majority, full of

who achieved historical immortality
two years ago by collaring the venera-
bic Gortschakoff when that celebrated
diplomatist was paying an official visit
to the German Chancellor, still lives to
dismiss troublesome Populations and
terroize importunate petitioners. But
Senat, the great French poets faithful
friend and constant companion during
many years of exile, has succumbed to
old age at Hauteville House, and re-
ceived interment in the grounds of that
romantic retreat. With him was bur-
led the silver collar presented to him
somewhat late in life by bis master,
whose Senatorial experiences Of docil-
ity toward royalty exhibited by the
first French Legislative Chamber in
pre-Napoleonic days probably suggest
ed to him as admirably appropriate to
the most obedient of dogs" the name
he Bestowed upon his favorite. Upon
this collar was engraved the following
distich expressly composed for Senat
by the author of "Un Crime: "Je
voudrais qu'au logis quelqu'un me
ramenat. Mon etat? Chen. Mon
maitre? Hugo. Mon nom: Senat."

MI. Rewitt had nothing to say; he

NIT it, but took refuge like<sher beaten

asked.
