''Resuits of Researches on Alcohol"

''Resuits of Researches on Alcohol"
The ~above-named tract of twenty
four pages, costing less than a glass of
brandy, ought to be studied by every
person capable of reading the English
language; and it should be translated
into all the living languages of the
earth and circulated as 'the school
master abroad" 1t settles, by actual
experiments, continued for three sue
cessive years, by an absolutely scien-
titic man, the effects of alcohol on the
human system.
1t shows why and how in the last
ten years in these United States, alco-
hol has destroyed 100000 lives; has
sent 100, 900 children to the poor
houses; has committed, at least, $780,
900 into prisons and work-houses; has
made, at least, 1000 insane; has de-
termined 1000 suicides; has made
2O0, 900 widows, and ,000, 900 orphans;
how two out of every three of
the unhappy persons who fill u asy-
luns for the insane were brought
there, either directly or indirectly, by
the destroyer; how nine-tenths of the
paralyzed who sit OF lie day after day,
''already in the shroud of living death,
toneless, %speechless, helpless, existing
only by mere vegetative power" were
brought to that woeful condition; why
we behold passing Sin sad panoram-
ic display" the Observation-Disclosures
of this nation, made up tortured
women, wives, mothers, husbands and
fathers, %''mourning a loss that even
the grave will not relieve-loss to
truth, honor, self-respect, affection,
duty, honesty, every virtue on which
parents find new life in their OIL
spring." how it is that the different
named maladies that fill our hospitals
with the sick are but the various
forms of disease, "originating in one
agency to which these afflicted ones
have been directly or indirectly sub
jected;" that all these varying dis
guises are the works of one common
enemy of mankind-"a power-a bona
fde devil, alcohol" why this enemy
exists because he is an inbred enemy /;
that he is transmitted, like feature and
taste and disease, from the parent to
the child" and because of ''false be-
liefs" concerning alcohol, which regu-
late the conduct and form the habits OF
mankind to theif ruin. DR.. Richard
son assails these false beliefs by actual
experiments, and demOlishe them.
Thereupon,l he becomes scientifically

Prospective Demand for Wool.

There is another aspect of this ques-
ton of supply and demand, calling
loudly for the serious consideration of
wool producers and economists general
ly, though rs yet receiving little atten-
ton from either. 1t is the employment
of substitutes for wool-adnlterants-
which, while imposing upon consumers
of wooden goods an inferior article, at
the same time deprive the wool-grow-
er of the price for his clip it is legiti-
mately entitled to. Some idea of the
extent to which substitutes for wool
are employed is to be CLEANED from the
official returns of the census of 1880,
among which are to be found the fol-
lowing items going into the consump-
ton of ''raw material" by 1850 wool
Ell mills for that year:
Pounds.
Cancels hair and ,js3, l19
Buffalo hair and oils............... ....61l ,021
Hair of other animals. 1861, li2
Shoddy and shoddy s,I45,i63
Total material displacing WOOL. &c, G6l, 76i
Or more than 20 per cent of the gross
weight Of the United States wool clip
for the same year and nearly SO per
cent of the secured wool, domestic and
imported, for the year 1880, which was
returned as Ia ,SS0,S3l pounds.
Here is a factor that cannot be
p%rudently ignored in any forecast of
the wool market based on supply and
demand. If, i'll 1880, each four-pound
fleece of unwashed wool was met in
the market by II pound of shoddy or
other substitute, which the manufac-
turers will purchase at a price consid-
erably below the cost of producing a
pound of wool, and employ such shod-
dy to the exclusion of at least two
pounds of fleece (sh)ddy is bought
ready for consumption, and is subject
to but little shrinkage), wool growers
need look for no diminutioD in COM
petition from that source in the future.
Manufacturers may confidently be de-
pended upon for seeing the profit in
such a transaction and availing them
selves of the advantage afforded there
by. Any m entertaining doubts as
to the use of shoddy in mills, the
managers of which, a few years ago,
urged its exemption in behalf of the
speedy sale of their fabrics, need but
glance occasionally into a majority OF
the ware-rooms to find the wool supply
substantially supplemented by shoddy
bales of no inconsiderable proportions.

WHEN the case of Mckinney VS. the
city of Lancaster came up, according to
adjournment, Monday morning Mr..
Orr arose and said he found himself in
the attitude of being obliged to ask an
adjournment. Judge Mills said they
would extend to the gentleman that
courtesy. Mr.. Orr went on to say that
be had filed proper affidavit and his
reasons for asking an adjournment were
that material witness had been run
out of the country, Judge Mills said
IN so much as that was the case he
would say that their client, Mckinney,
had come to him that morning to have
the matter continued, alleging that a
witness material TO his side had been
run off. This remarkable coincidence led
the court to remark that both sides APP
peared to know exactly which witness
was meant and the corn was smilingly
acknowledged by both attorneys. At
ter considerable discussion the ease
was continued to Friday morning, at

opened last Thursday with great eclat.
The occasion was graced with the pres

home and foreign dlgnitaries. In the
evening the President held reception
at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn.
The next day the bridge was thronged
with people anxious to test the novelty
of making the trip from one city to
the other with the locomotion provided
by nature. The bridge from entrance
to entrance is about mile in length.
The strength of the center span is esti-
