THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

The English sparrow is such a
peskey, cantankerous, mischievous
and yoracious little rascal as TO have
drawn down upon its head the anathe
ma of the farmer as we'll the horti
culturist. A committee from the
Ornithologists Union, of the City of
New York, having been appointed
to investigate the charges against
that lively bird, suggest that all pro
tective laws affecting the sparrow be
repealed, that measures be at once
taken for lessening their numbers,
all protecting and feeding be denied,
and that they be put on an equality
with native birds. We suggest that
a few of them be hanged on gibbets
in prominent places, and their bodies
be left when hanging as an example
to the rest of them. Like the hea.

ALCOHOL AND THE HEART.
THE RUDDY BUMPER CAUSES 1T TO
THUMP AT AN EXTRAORDINARY
RATE.

Dr.. n. b. Richardson Of London,
the noted physician, says he was
recently able to convey consider
able amount of conviction to an in
telligent scholar by simple exper-
irnent. The scholar was singing
the praises of the ruddy bumper,
and saying he could not get through
the day without it, when DR.. Rich
ardson said to him:
will you be good enough to feel
my pulse as | stand here?'
He did so. l said, Count it
carefully; what does it say?"
"Your pulse says seventy-four."
then sat down in a chair and
asked him to count it again. He
did SO, and said: Your pulse has
gone down to seventy"
| then lay me down on the lounge,
and said: "Will you take it again?'
He replied, why, tits only six
ty-four; what an extraordinary
thingv'
I then said: "When you lie down
at night, that is the way nature
gives your heart rest. You know
nothing about it, but that beating
organ is resting to that extent, and
if you recon il up it is ) great deal
of rest, because IN lying down the
heart is doing ten strokes less a
minute. Multiply it by sixty hours,
and it is 600; multiply it by eight
hours, and within a fraction it is
5000 strokes different; and as the
heart is throwing six ounces OF
blood at every stroke, it makes q
difference of 10000 ounces oflifting
during the night.
when l lie down at night, with.
out any alcohol, that is the rest
my heart gets. But when you take
your wine or grog you do not allow
that rest, for the influence of alco.
hol is to increase the number OF
strokes, and instead of getting this
rest you put on something like
$4,000 extra strokes, and the re.
Suits you rise up very seedy and
unfit for the next days work ill
YOU have taken little more of the
.ruddy bumper, which you say is
the soul of man below"

Ireland approved that law, and no fence
cutter will vote for any of these men.
That is past all doubt. They will not
touch Governor Ireland with "a 40 foot

Ireland will lose this vote in solido.

WATSON Pardoned,

From the Austin county Times.
If the report be true a great wrong
has been done. Every law should be
rigidly enforced; every sentence should
be faithfully executed. Wasson's previ-
GUS good character, and everything else
that could be brought to bear in his
favor, were shown up at his trial, and
had their due influence in fixing his
penalty. Nothing has since transpired
to mitigate the enormity of his oflense,
and injustice was done either when the
President approved the finding of the
court or when he issued pardon. Pre-
sumably Wasson's pardon is due to the
influence of Wasson's friends; but, no
matter what brought it about, it is an
encouragement to everybody with influ-
ence to carry out his own sweet wishes
without regard to law or the rights of
others.
