When Cyrus W. Field returned from
his tour around The world he was perfectly
amazed at the extent to which stock sDecu
lations had run, and the thousand and one
wild cat schemes which were largely
patronized by the too crsduIous public
even when there was not the remotest
probability that they would ever come ia
a successful completion. He stepped into
DelmonicO's to dine, and was pained to
see the crowds which huddlsd around tb,

In peace, 80 disquisted we're they under
the operations of the fever of speculation.
Dir. Field says he bought certain stock fol
an investment at LOS Just before he sailed.
On his return, finding it quoted at the
fancy price Of l.64, he sold. He s0uld see
no reason why such an advance should
have been made, and fearinga crash in the
market he disposed Of his stock as soon aa
possible. This wild speculative mania
prevails in London and Paris and Berlin,
and IN his opinion when the crash comes
il will involve the entire commercial
world. Conservative men and the press
rec these things and warn the people, but
many will not be stopped so long a. they

The exhaustion which fellows the inor-
dinate pursuit Of wealth, We are told BY
the very best Of authorities, proceeds from
impaired digestive organs. The brain has
drawn upon them for all they were worth
30 long that they suddenly give way and
the whole system falls into a miserabls
collapse. The organs 50 susceptible to
nervous excitement are the kidneys and
liver. Tks Offices of these organs are to
diHCharge pOisOns which are collactad from
all parts Of the body by the veins, the
kidneys eliminating them in a liquid form,
and the liver Transforming part Of them
by a chemical process into digestive fluids.
and utilizing the remainder as 2 purgstiye.
Both these organs demand a large share
Of nervous force. If this force is all sz-
hauEted By the brain, they become feeble,
colds settle in them, congestion follows,
the poison Oannot get out Of the blood,
digestion is impaired the bowels become
inactive because the liver fails to furnish
the natural cathartic, the bladder becomes
fsarfully infamed, dropsy comes on
strange disorders visit the head, heart,
lungs, and ere the person il aware Of it,
he is a victim to chronic kidney and liver
disease, and a candidate for death BY
BEght's disease Of the kidneys.
And this is the end of all commercial
life which is pursued 1T the zacrihCs Of
every other social, political and physical
consideration 'Oh ." exclains The man
