What Produces Old Age.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter
of April IL contains q curious article on
the ..sSuspe pension Of Old Age,n, the lead
ing idea of which is that the real
change which produces old age is moro
nor less than d SLOW but steady accumu-5
lation Of calcerous matter throughout
the system; md it is owing to these de-
iposits TINT the structure Of every organ
is altered, elasticity thus giving way to-
isenile srigidity. Blockage of various
organs thus commenced, and sooner or
later o vital part becomes involved, and
deuth of necessity fol lows To delay
this process the writer advises the
avoidance Of food cont tanning this calcer.#
ons matter, among which bread is prom-
inent. Mod Iteration in eating is enioined; 4
and among the articles recommended
are fruit, fish, poultry, flesh of young
mutton and beef, because, as before
stated, Of their being less heterogeneous.
All well and spring wafer contains con-
siderable of the earthly salts, and.
should there fore sbe3 avoided, and cis-
tern water used in its stead, because
water is the most universal solvent
known. Therefore, If taken into the.
system clear of foreign matter, it is to-
that extent the better prepared to dis
solve and take mp: those earthly salts and
convey them out OF the system. The
addition Of q fifteen or twenty drops 81
dilute phosph orie acid to the glass Of
water, and drank three times a day.
will add to the golubility Of these
earthly salts.

A Horrible Hanging In Cincinnati.

Joseph Palmer. the (colored murderer,
was hanged at Cincinnati. The execution
was private in the Jail yard, the scaffold
being shieldedSfrom view by stone wall
and a large awning. A large number OF
people were on the adjacent streets, which
were guarded by the police, and promptly
at 10 O'Clock the condemned man was led
on the scaffold, where short prayer was
said bya priest. Palmer said nothing At
1902 the drop fell, but Palmer was such a
powerful young fellow that his neck was
not broken. He writhed fearfully, and
Mt the end of twenty-six minutes the
sheriff announced that the execution was
over, but the body was not cut down until
some time later. Palmer has been unusual
ly stoical, though lie hasrecently permitted
the ministrations OF Catholic priests.
sPalmer's crime was the murder OF Will
liam II. Kirk in his stable on the afternoon
OF Dec. "a, 1883. The object was robbery.
William Berner and Palmer, both OF whom
had been employed by Kirk, planned and
executed the murder. They were ALMOST
Immediately arrested and both confessed,
each charging the other with having struck
the fatal blow 1t was the verdict. in Ber-
ners case, manslaughter that.was the chief
exciting cause of the riot in which the court
house was burned in March, 1884. Berner
is now in the Ohio penitentiary serving out
his sentence OF twenty years. -

The Battle of the Royne.

At Waterford, Ireland during the ami
versary of the battle OF the Boyne on the
18th, among the large number of drunken
men on the streets were many OF the soldiers
belonging to the Welsh regiment doing gar
rison duty here. Citizens gotinto row with
the soldiers, during which the latter bayo-
neted to death one OF the former. The citi-
zens then fell upon the soldiers with such
force that the latter were forced
to beat n hasty retreat to their
barracks. The mob followed. them up,
but being threatened with powder
and ball il they attempted to force an en-
trance to the barracks, they contented them
selves with smashing the windows OF the
barracks with stones. The rage ofthe pop
ulace was so great this morning that it was
deemed best to transfer the Welsh regiment
to some other place. This-was done imme-
diately, and as the soldiers marched from
the barracks to the railroad station sur
rounded by policemen a mob followed them,
hooting and stOning the soldiers. u
The name of the civilian Killed was Peter
Grant. During the hottest part ofthe CON
fiict q soldier attacked Grant and plunged q
bayonet straight through the. mans heart.
Grant fell dead on the spot. gI

rhe silver Question Coming to Head:

The Silver Question Coming to Head.
United States Treasurer Jordan had a
conference q few days ago with the Presi-
dents OF the National Banks OF New York.
Following are the resolutions adopted by
the bank presidents after the conference.
Whereas, after careful inquiries into the
current operations OF the United States
treasury, it is ascertained that with the
continued purchase OF 100000 in silver
a month, the probable receipts OF gold cur
rency will be insufficient to meet the de.
mands upon it until the meeting ofcongress
in December next, but that the secretary
will be compelled to make his payments in
silver dollars, which will become q most
disturbing element in the daily business OF
the country; therefore
Resolved, That to avert this threatened
danger, and in the confident belief that con-
gress will take early steps to prevent the
deterioration OF the present commercial
standard OF values, the banks here, by
tender to the government, from their gold
reserve fund the sum OF $40, 900, 900, in ex-
change for that amount in fractional silver
coin, or for such other currency as the clear
ing house may approve, the same to be APP
portioned among the banks in the clearing
house respectively pro rata OF their deposits
and gold reserved.
Resolved, That should this amount
prove insufficient, a further sum not to ex-
coed $40, 0O0,0 be offered, and that the
banks OF Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and
other cities be invited by the clearing house
committee toparticipate in carrying out the
objects OF these resolutions. ~ Dr..

3 The steamboat business on theup-
per Mississippi is at the lowest condi-
ton that has been experienced since
the advent Of railroads, on account OF
the very low rates Of freight. Just at
this season there is some passenger
travel, but that has fallen offimmense-
", as compared with former years.
Steamboat property has very little
value, for no one wishes to engage in a
business that will not pay. It is said
that q fine steamer that cost $780,
600 few years ago, was offered for
$25, 900 and not taken at that price.

Lake Minnetonka GiyosE Up its Dead
The search for the bodies Of the Inflated
steamer Minnie Cook was resumed Monday
morning where it had been abandoned the.
night before, with more willing hands and
diversified methods at command.
Daylight had no sooner dawned than the
region where the boatwas supposed to have
gone down was covered with row boats,
from the tillers OF which were hung graphing
hooks, common fish lines with extra large
hooks and all manner OF devices with which
it was hoped to secure a hold on the bodies.
About q hundred yards to the north OF
Spirit island hook took firm hold in the
clothing of what proved to be the remains
ofMary Rand. The body Mayor Rand
was recovered in the same way, not far re-
moved from where the badly OF Mary Rand
was found. Both parties were lying face
downward, and Mr.. Rand when found was
without his coat, the graphing hook CATCH
ing in the back OF his vest. His watch,
like that OF Mrs. Rand, whose body
was recovered on the previous evening indi-
Gated that the boat had sunk at about
half-past four o'clock. In the afternoon
the body OF Frank Rand was recovered. A
little after o'clock Mat Dennee and w. H.
Deyo found the body OF Mr.. Coykendall
short distance west OF where the wreck lay
The deceased was dressed in a white flannel
boating suit, and had put over him an over
coat. The clothing bore evidence that the
body had been partially buried in the mud
Hall an hour later William Wambolt and
George E. Watson caught on their graphing
hook the body OF Robert Hussay, thefriend
OF Frank Rand who accompanied the pleas
ure party. Both these bodies were found
in close proximity, and their discovery
stimulated the search for the remaining
victims, Mrs. Coykendalla and Harvey Rand.
After successive trailings over the course
William Deane and William Deyo brought
to the surface all that was mortal OF these
last mentioned, victims, .-
1t was n little after 7:3O o'clock when the
deep gave up the last OF it's dead, and the
remains were carried in the light boats to
the improvised morgue, there to be prepared
for the burial caskets. The day sunk away
as the task was completed, and it was no
sooner completed than the water, MI day
dotted with the various fotilla OF the lake,
was deserted. The bodies were oil taken to
Minneapolis for burial.

Sir Richard Cartwright places Cana
dian finances in rather an unfavora-
BILE light: He declares that there has
been an increase Of 100000, 900 in
the debt, for which there is nothing to
show but two railways, one ofwhich
has been given away, while nobody
cares for the other. Since 1867. the
population has increased but 80 per
cent, while the debt has advanced
200 per cent, expenditures $50 per
cent, and taxation $50 per cent.
