THE CHLoRoFoRM HABTr.-A new vice
annears To he in course of DEVELOPMENT. ac-

THE CHLoRoFoRM HABIr.-A new vice
appears to be in course of development, ac-
cording to certain physicians, who write
that the "chloroform habit" is, to their
knowledge, becoming prevalent to an ex-
tent scarcely known outside of the pro.
fession and the life insurance companies.
In recent issue of the Medical Record, DR..
A. G. Browning mentions several cases, one
only of which, through early medical inter-
ference, was known to have been cured.
The mental condition of confirmed chic
roformist is stated to be abjectly miserable,
and the physical state loathsome. The man
maudlin drunk on the meanest whiskey is
prince in comparison. Every physiologi-
cal function goes down in the wreck, and
bat shadow is left for sepulture. In near
ly every Instance known to DR.. Browning
the chlorotolm habit has developed in indi-
viduals who come of line of drinkers more
or less remote, and has seemed to replace
the appetite for drink.

THE MORNING republican newspaper of
Washington says the Southern people fought
for the divine right to whip women and sell
babies" But it should not forget that the
Northern people, against the wishes of the
Southern, brought the ancestors of the
women and babies to whom it alludes to
this country from their homes in Africa,
but finding them Improbable in the North
sold them to their fellow citizens in the
South

GENERAL MALONE, if he believed in

men, after all the vicissitudes of this life,
come to realize the fact that there is moth.

none of his iackmen; and since the Court of
Appeals has rendered its just and lawful
decision in the election bill case, he even
accuses the members of that court of being
INFECTED with Bourbonism," and that. too,
though he himself appointed them. Truly
the General is in sad, bad way.

election for U. S. Senator until a new Leg

"A Big Tortoise.

Tho discovcrer of the gigantic ex-
tinct sea-turtlc found near Fort Wal
lace, in western Kansas, first observed
the large bony shields projecting from
a bluff near Butte Creek. They were
carefully taken out and brought to
Philadelphia, where the restoration
was made. TIE fore-tlippers alone
were nearly five feet long, while its
expanse from the tip of one. extended
iiippcr to another was about seventeen
feet The question may arise, how did
this sea-turtIe become buried in a bluff
in the State of Kansasp A natural
supposition would be that Kansas is
the bed Of a former ocean, and SO it is.
Ages ago, in what is called by geolo-
gists the Cretaceous Period, that part
Of the world was the bed of great
sea, in which the great turtle swan,
together with other monsters of curious
shape and appearance Gradually the
crust Of the earth was raised, the water
fell back, or became inclosed, and left
the inhabitants of the Crctaceous Sea
high and dry, to be covered by the
earth and preserved for us to, study
ages afterward.
The shores OF this ancient ocean are
easily found and followed by geolo-
gists. It's extent has been traced on
our Western plains by the bleaching
and disintegrating remains that have
been found, upon and beneath the SUR
face. Charles Frederick Holder. IN 50.
