An Episode of Wendell Phillips

Mrs. Cakes Smith in The Philomathean Review.
was on my way to lecture at Salem.
Mass, and Mrs. Phillips, who was &C
companying me, told me of an incident
which befel him once on that very
route. The abolition excitement was
intense. In the car with him was a
young colored man by the name, of
Raymond, who was to speak with Mr..
Phillips in Salem. AS the two entered
the cars they were met with Kisses. that
soon became yells-a white gentleman
arm in arm with Niger!
The tumult at the station bad made
Raymende turn ashy pale. They were
seated side by side, the cars were so
crowded that the women were fainting
with terror.
At length came the cry, s'Pitch the
niger off the train!'' when the con-
ductor told Mr.. Phillips that he must
let it be understood that the young man
was his servant, or there would be no
way to save him. Mr.. Phillips said to
me, "That would be very repugnant to
being false, and the young man
was intelligent and cultivated, but 1
saw that it was matter of life or death.
l had risen and laid my hand" contin-
ued Mr.. Phillips, son Raymonde's,
shoulder, determined to protect him,
but the conductor cried out, The man
is the servant of the gentleman, and
has right to go with him on the cars,
This seemed to quiet the Infatuated
mob. Thank God those terrible days
are over"

A Sackful OF Dollars.
Henderson (Ky.) Journal.


A very amusing incident happened in
court last week. Mr.. Nick Becker had
purchased certain piece of ground
and executed his notes for the same.
Later on and before the last note had
become due it was discovered that the
survey did not hold out by quite a num-
Der of feet, and, therefore, Mr.. Becker
declined to settle unless reduction be
made for the loss of land Suit was
instituted, and last week Judgment was
given for the amount of the note, less
so much for the loss of land Mr..
Becker seemed satisfied, and so soon as
he heard the decision of tn. court ap-
preached the attorney for the plaintiff
and proposed to give him check in
full settlement. The attorney declined
the check and was asked what he
wanted. "Gold, silver, or greenbacks,"
was the reply. Every good!" ejacu-
lated Mr.. Becker, "you shall have it.. :"
And out of the courtroom he went.
Soon thereafter he returned with man
he had hired and upon whose back was
a great sack, in which was deposited
1915 new silver dollars, 10 and 5 cents in
silver and one copper, making in all
1915. 16, the amount of the Judgment.
He had the sack laid at the feet of the
attorney, and enjoyed it more than the
one who had to see it deposited in
bank.

WASHINGTON

The chief of postoffice inspectors, A.
G. Shsyse, land Inspector Camp, appointed
committee to examine into the condition
of the Chicago postoffice, have made their
report to the postmaster general that the
work now done by the auditor can be added
to the duties now performed by the assist
ant postmaster without detriment to the
service, and recommend that the So, 900 per
annum paid to the sauditor be suspended
from the allowance. The private secretary
of the postmaster, carried on the roster at
81, 500 per annum, is unnecessary, and as a
matter of fact very little service has ever
been performed by the party now holding
that position. They recommend that the
Office be abolished altogether.

Lynched for Their Misdee DIS.

A Starkville (Miss.) special says: In
October, 1882, B. j. Parish's two boys,
aged 10 and IA years, died suddenly. 1t
now turns out that they were poisoned by a
negro man named Newton Carpenter, liv-
ing with Mr.. Parish, by poisoning some
water which the boys drank. Newton con-
fided the matter to a negro woman, who
told Mr.. Parish. Carpenter was arrested
and said he got the poison from negro
doctor, Ned Macks, a notorious bad char
acter. Macks was also arrested. A posse
of half dozen men had them in charge en-
route for the jail. When about seven miles
from here the prisoners were seized by a
mob of disguised men and hanged. Car
penter stated that it was his intention at the
time to poison the whole family.

Beer Drinking and Heart Disease.


Beer Drinking and Heart Disease.
Philadelphia Medical News.
The habitual consumption of beer in
excessive quantities tends to hyper
trophy by the direct action of alcohol
upon the heart, by the enormous
amount of fluid introduced into the
body, and by the easily-assimilated nu--
rritive constituents ofAtho beer itself.
Furthermore, such habits are often asso-
ciated with great bodily activity and at
least relatively luxurious mahnerof life.
The average weight of the normal heart
in men is relatively greater in Munich
than elsewhere, a fact, without doubt,
dependent upon the excessive consump-.
ton of beer in that city. The charac-
teristic changes in the form of hyper
trophy under consideration consist in
the participation of both sides of the,
heart and In an enormous increase in,
the volume of the primitive muscular
elements, with enlargement of the.
nuclei. Whether or not actual numeri-;.
cal increase in the muscular fibers takes
places cannot be known. Many indi-
viduals addicted to such excuses attain
an advanced age, notwithstanding car
diac hypertrophy, by reason of consti-
tutional peculiarities, an active, open
air life, or an enforced moderation, but
a greater number perish after brief i'll
ness with symptoms of cardiac failure,
At the post-mortem examination are
discovered moderate dropsy, pulmon-
airy edema, brown induration of the !
lungs, bronchitis, congestion of the :
lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, and other
organs. Fatty degeneration of the
wall of the heart is absent in
most of these cases, and death must, in
the absence of adequate anatomical
LESSONS, be looked upon as due to
paralysis of the cardiac nerves and
ganglla. The condition of such subjects
not rarely amounts to true plethora of
the most typical kind, such as seen
among the drivers of beer-wagons and
workers in breweries in this country.
The excuses in beer common in some
parts of Germany are rare in the new
world, but that such excuses are at
tended by direct and grave danger,
hitherto little suspected, should be gem
orally understood. -
