A TEST AS TO SMOKING.

Psychologists are familiar with abundant
examples in which articles of food, emf
nently nutritious to the generality of
human beings, act as poisons upon some
exceptional organisms. There are many
persons who cannot eat fat, others who
cannot eat butter, or eggs, or mutton, veal,
or peculiar sorts of game, without the most
distressing effects. The late DIR. Prout
knew person on whom mutton acted as
poison. "He could not eat it in any form.
This popularity was supposed to be owing
to caprice, and the mutton was repeatedly
disguised and given to him unknown, but
uniformly with the same result of produce
ing violent vomiting and diarrhea." Tissot
says he could never swallow sugar without
vomiting Hahn found that seven or eight
strawberries sufficed to send him into
convulsions. In presence of such exam
pies, how can we help concluding that
tobacco also must to some organisms be OF
quite peculiar dangerousness II the ex-
cretory action be not rapid, we know that
tobacco will be poison to all men, and
inasmuch as there are varying degrees OF
excretory vigor in different organisms, 1t
is clear that the effect of tobacco Will be
strictly dependent on this varying sus-
ceptibility. 1t is in every mans power to
answer very decidedly for himself the i'm
portant question whether tobacco is IN
furious to him. Does he suspect any evil
influence? Let him abstain, and closely
watch the result. If, with no other change
in his way of life, he can detect the disap-
pearance of any marked symptom, which
reappears whenever he resumes his cigar,
then he may be sure that he is wrong to
smoke. or that he smokes too much.

LIVELY SCENE IN COURT.
Rough and Tumble Fight Between Two
Witnesses.
Stockton Herald, April 2lst.l

Yesterday the trial OF w. w. Waite,
"Arizona Bill, charged with battery COM
mitted on John Shepherd about two weeks
ago, was held at Linden. The trial was by
jury. Whenever a jury trial is held at
Linden the Justice of the Peace has to hire
a hall to accommodate the spectators, his
Court being altogether too small. Jury
trials are about the only public entertain
ments that the Linden people have, and
they turn out en- masse to them. Yester-
day Linden Hall was chartered, and about
two hundred spectators gathered to witness
the proceedings and to be witnesses. Quite
a large number of witnesses had been ex-
amined, when man named Murphy was
put on the stand. Murphy testified that
herd off the porch on the 9th inst, grabbed
Shepherds lame leg and re-broke it where
it had before been broken. McCarty,
Murphy called McCarty a liar, and Nc
Carly returned the compliment and made
a serious reflection on Murphy's maternal

punching at each others heads and faces
and rolling over the floor, until Murphy

shooter. The fun, that had deep and
absorbing interest for the spectators, pos
sessed attractions no longer, and they
stampeded for the doors. 1t was a regular
panic, but the Court, the attending Con-
stable, the jury and the lawyers remained.
They couldn't get past the battery without
going within range. Attorney Budd
mounted chair and shouted @ Let them
fight !" but one of the jurors, II. II. Tur-
ner, thought differently, and he made a
break for Murply's pistol. His example
was followed by three or four others, and
altogether they rolled Murphy about on the
floor, but the pistol had in the meantime
been returned to Murphy's pocket. An
other juryman held McCarty, and compar-
ative peace and quiet were finally restored.
During these proceedings the Court and
attorneys were in the highest state of en-
joyment. Their laughter was uncontrolla-
BILE, seeing the ludicrous demonstrations of
the belligerents and peace-makers. When
finally the turbulence ceased, Murphy was
fined S25 for his rashness. He paid it.
" Arizona Bill was found guilty of battery
and fined $50.
