The nan who lives to eat, is quite like

from a deceased liver, the failure of the
kidneys, govt, paralysis, or apoplexy.
The ailments that lead ON to it may be

dinner, hurls the superintendent blood

But eating may give death inst ad OF
life in another way. The stomach is a
wonderfully strong organ. 1t will bear
an immense deal of abuse. No brute is
guilty of SO much. But there is a limit
10 what it can bear. Were it not so,
millions of the hum IN kind would more
than emhrute themselves; for the brute
keeps to his instinct, while mans appe-
tite often Outrages instinct, reason and

and the food that exceeds this irritates
the coats of the stomach and is thrown
from it an undigested, ~fermenting mass.
The same process daily repeated in
flames these coats, especially the muc-
GUS membrane. which then pOurs out

still further impedes digestion.
The inaamed membrane, pressing
against the tiny mouths of the gastric

both appetite and digestion at the ex-

At length the gastric glands

Narrow Escape.

The author OLA Ride to Khiva,' gives
this account of his sufferings during his
terrible winter journey across the plains
of AsiatiC Russia, when ~carelessly
neglecting to protect his hands in his
great mittens, he fell asleep and woke
to fine them frozen. His servant Chafed
them with suow, but could not restore
the circulation.

as possible to the staff IN. How far off is
it." he inquired Of the driver.
'"Seven miles," was the answer.
"Go as fast as you can!" | cried. The
pain, which by that time had assembled
70 the glands under my arms, had be-
come more acute than anything | had
nit herto experienced. Apparently ex-
treme cold acts in two ways on the nery-
Gus system; sometimes, and more merci'
fully, by bringing on a slumber, from
which the victim eve awakes; and at
others by consuming him, as it were,
over q slow fire, and limb by limb. In
my suffering each mile of the way to the
station seemed a league, and each league
a days journey.
At lst we arrived. Hurrying to the
w%aiting-room, | met three Cossacks, to
whom | showed my hands. The sol
diers led me into an outer room, and
having taken off my coat and barred my
arms, they plunged them mp to tue
shoulder IN a Tub of ice and water.
However, there was now no sensation,
whatever, and the limbs, which were of
a blue color, f1oated painlessly in the
water.
The elder of the Cossacks shook his
head, and said, Brother, it is q bad
JOB; you will lose your hands"
They will drop off," remarked an
other, IF we cannot get back the circu-
lation.c

Nazar the servant. on hearing this,
ran out; anu brought in a tin bottle con-
tanning naptha for cooking purposes,
upon which the Cossaeks, taking
my arms out of the icy water, proceeded
to rub them in the strong spirit.
Rub, RIB, rub; the skin peeled under
their horny hands, and the spirit irrita-
ted the membrane below. at last, a
faint sensation like tickling pervaded the
elbow joints, and [ slightly hinched.

"A little"
Capital, brothersln he continued.
Rub as hard as YOU canl" and after 90
ing or with the friction until the flesh
was almost fiayed, they suddenly
plunged my arms again into the ice
water. / had not felt anything before,
but this time the pain was very acute.
"GooJl" said the Cos acks. s0The
more it hurts the better chance you have
OF saving your hands" And after q

Henry Willard, of railway fame, will

200 feet. That part which he will occupy
is on the corner of Eifty-irst street. It's
frontage is sixty feet and its depths 100

three houses, and between the two
wings is a court eighty feet in width and

Hon. E. w. Wilson, of Charleston,

of this State, passed through here
on his way to Lewisburg on Tuesday

this section that Mr.. Wilson has the
gubernatorial bee buzzing in his bon
net and he has many supporters. He
is certainly one of the brainiest men
in the State and has acceptably occu-
pied many high positions of honor
and trust, and would make an accept
able governor, but as the day for the
election of Uncle Jake's successor is
a long ways off, and as many other
able and prominent men of our State
are afflicted with the same disease, we
bide our time and await develope-
ments before expressing preference
for any of them. II is enough for
US to say at present that we shall
enter into the fight for the Democratic
nominee, whoever he is, hailing from
whatever section he may.

The Alexandria Gazette says: In
one of the rooms of the PostofIice De-
partment at Washington, in broad
daylight, a shameful and obscene
orgie, in which male and female clerks
were engaged, was discovered last
week. 1t has been ascertained since
that such occurrences were usual
there. But if the President and
members of his cabinet are involved
in disgraceful scandals, is it at all
surprising that the clerks in the de-
partments should not hesitate to fol-
low their exampled Public dcbauch-
cry in this country is rapidly APP
preaching the condition of that which
characterized Rome previous to the

hope of all, but that it is, is the dread
