The Texas Medical Record prints an ar
ticle by DR.. F. M. Taught, on the action of
alcohol on the human system. He says that
eminent medical men agree on the following
points, some of which he Celebrates.
Alcohol, in small quantities, aids-in large
additional strength, but merely enables a
man 10 draw upon his reserve
energy. 1t may thus give assislau ce
in single effort, but not in prolonged exer-
tons The same is the case with the hesrt;
but in di.esse alcohol frequently slows in
stead of quickens the pulsatlons of this organ,
and thus economises,, instead of expenoing
its reserve energy. By dilating the vessels
of the skin, alcohol warns the surface at the
expense of the internal organs. II is thus in
furious when taken during exposure to cold,
but beneficial when taken after the exposure
is over, as it tends to prevent comics
ton of internal organs. Those
who use alcohol hsbitually
do not and cannot, evolve as much force,
either mental or muscular, as do those who
abstain from its use; and the class termed
alcoholics are more sluggish in both mental
and muscular activity, than the temperate.
DISCRIMINATION eventually induces CORE
spending depression; hence, the habitual use
of alcohol enervates instead of strength
ems the human system. While it must
be admitted that, under the influence
of mild stimulation, some people forget
for time their sorrow and care, and mani
ifest serene, cheerful and contented dispo-
si.ioD, we have seen this TO be only the pri-
mary effect of alcoholism, but when the
secondary effect supervenes, the hilsrity of
feeling is fully ounterbalanced by the sub
sequeut depression, stupidity and ill temper.
Being rapidly dfiusabe stimulant, in alccN
hol we are afforded one ofthe mos. potent
remedies in cases of congestion. since by its
use the strength and rapidIty of the hearts
action is speedily augmented, the cspi!la-
ries are dilated and the extremities are
warmed,

Wild CameIs I'm Arizona.


II is not generally known that camels roam
over the desert wastes Of central and southern
Arizons, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Many
years ago-we believe it was in 1864
number Of camels were imported into Texas
for use on tie western plains, where the
scorching rays of the sun poured down on
the sandy desert, and where water was to be
had only at long intervals. We are not
advised as 10 the success of the undertaking
on the plains of Texas. The war coming on
the csmels were either sold or allowed 10
roam at large, and portion OF them found
their way TO Arizona, and were used for q
time In carving freight across the California
desert; but from some cause or other, per-
haps rom a want Of knowledge as TO the
peculiar habits Of the animal, they did not
prove profitable, and we're turned loose on
tho Gila and Salt River bottoms where they
continue TO remain. Tho old csmels have
brought forth young and multiplied, until
now they roam along the lower Gila in large
numbers, and seem TO be contented and
happy. The OH ones arc still tame, but the
younger generation l. little shy, not having
been accustomed to the wsys Of men. The
country seems TO be peculiarly adapted to
the camel, and we have no doubt they will
continue 20 increase In numbers, until drove

impressive. The immense advance In the

The county commissioners have just hst
completed a magnificent bridge over White

from this city. The boss of the job was Mr.

bridge replaces an old one washed away by
the spring freshets.
The new bridge referred TO In yesterday g

Fork of the Trinity river at Kinnan's cross

Mr.. George w. Berry has been appointed to
superintend the work, and it will be ''put
through in short time. The span of the
bridge is seventy feet, with an approach on
one side of flfty-fOur feet and sixteen on the
other, making the extreme length one hum
bred and forty feet. Its cost will be
in the neighborhood of one thousand dollars,
and it will be, when finished, not only
a substantial but An elegant structure. This
bridge supplies a long needed necessity, and,
by its erection the city of Dallas will be inns
benefited. Hundreds Of bales of
cotton raised in the Grape Vine section that
have heretofore been hauled to Fort Worth
because of the difficulty of crossing Elm
Fork, will hereafter find market in our
own city. The want OF funds have prevented
our commissioners heretofore from erecting
many bridges, but now they will be built
wherever public necessity demands. The

Fight with Hard Gloves.

New York, June 23.-John Cash and
John Moore had fight with hard gloves
this evening, in Wendells hall, for 5000 q
side. Each round was to last three minutes
with one minute for rest. A knock down
was to end q round, The victim had to get
up and fight until the three minutes had exS
pred. After shaking hands the men fell to
like tigers. Cash hit Moore on the nose,
knocking him off the stage. Moore
fell with a thud and it was feared
at first that he was killed. In the
second round both men looked angry and
neither stopped for science. Moore showed
more excitement than Cash, who kept cool,
and as he retreated before Moore's rushes
planted blow after blow in his adversary's
face. Again and again they clinched, but
broke their hold at the referees order. They
ended again before time WAS up by two ter
rife counter. hits, each man falling on his
back. Ia the third round when the men ap-
peared, stream of blood ran
from an open wound on Moore's left temple.
Cash's face was bruised and swollen.
This round ended like both the Others, be-
fore the time, with powerful hit by Cash.
Moore was knocked clear of the stage. Both
men were winded. In the fourth round the
faces of both men we're streaming with blood
and perspiration. The fight had been SO
hot and the hall was so much like an oven
that little more was expected from the men.
To the surprise of every body they began
with the ferocity of game cocks. Ca h had
the best of it all the way through. Though
he got two or three knock downs, his
superior height and longer reach told in his
favor. Twice their friends mounted the
stage and tore them apart, and each time the
referee ordered the fight to go on.
In the fifth round Cash had got his second
wind, while Moore, though determined,
looked very shsky and weak in his legs.
Cash dashed at him and pounded his face
terribly. Moore's power of hitting seemed TO
be gone, but he took punishment H''hcul
flinching. While the fifth round y in
progress the police broke in and stoppC the
fight. Frank White gave the fight 70 Cash
He explained that by the agreement as he
understood it, the man who had the better Of
it at the close of the fgbt was to be declared
the winner.

advance in tobacco culture. Inc preceding
census crop was small ono, and tear or
taxation may have operated to prevent

of medium production not in excess OF the
