Ardent Spirits and Digestion.

From the Nineteenth century,
 With respect to the action of ardent spir- it's on digestion, experiments were made with ''proof spirits and with brandy, Scotch whisky, and gin; and the conclusion is that so far as salivary digestion is concerned, these spirits, when used in moderation and well diluted, as they usually are when employed dietetically, rather promote than retard this part of the digestive process, and this they do by causing an increased flow of saliva. "A teaspoonful of brandy whisky intro duced into the mouth can be perceived at once to cause gush of saliva. The common practice of adding tablespoonful of brandy to basin of arrow root or sago gruel, there fore, promotes it's digestion" The propor- tion must not, however, much exceed , per cent, and gin seems to be a preferable addi- tion to either brandy whisky. It was no- ticed in these experiments that brandy and Scotch whisky interfered with the digestive process, 'precipitated the starch more readi- ly" altogether out of proportion to the amount of alcohol they contained, and brandy was worse than whisky; and this circum- stance appears to be due to certain ethers and volatile oils in them; and brandy contains a trace of tannin, which has intensely re- tarding influence salvary digestion. With regard to ''peptic" digestion the results are still more surprising. 1t was found that with 10 per cent. and under of proof spirit there was no appreeiable retardation with 20 per cent; but with large percentages it was very different and with 50 per cent. the digestive ferment was almost paralyzed. In the proportions in which these spirits are usually employed dietetically not only do they not appreciably retard digestion, but these experiments show that they "act as pure stimulants to gastric digestion, caus- ing an increased flow of gastric juice and stimulating the muscular contraetions of the stomach, and so accelerating the speed of the digestive process in the stomach" For ob- vious reasons alcoholic drinks as used diete- tically can never interfere with pancreatic digestion. Passing from the consideration of the influence of these ardent spirits on diges- ton to the more complex problem of the in- f1uence of such alcoholic beverages as the various wines and malt liquors, Sir W. Rob- erts arrives at the following conclusions: Even very small quantities of the stronger and lighter wines-sherry, hook, claret, and port-exercise powerful retarding in fuence on salivary digestion. This is who'll ly due to the acid-not the alcohol-they contain, and if this acid be neutralized, as it often is in practice, by mixing with the wine some efferveseent alkaline water, this disturbing effect salivary digestion is completely removed.

colerado,r Redhe.ded statesmen.

Washington Letter to the Boston Travellerl Colorado can produce more redheaded statesmen than any other State in the Union Last year Bslford, the Red, Roaring Rooster of the Rockies" as his friends delighted to call him, was Colorado's representative in the House. This year the State sent new nan, Judge George G. Symes, who also iscar mine crested and bearded. Both Belford and Symes are men of decided ability Bel ford liked to play the clown, but underneath all of his wit and humor he invariably con- cealed an object to be attained. Symes is a dignifed man with big bassoon-like voice. He has had quite checkered career in his 46 years of life. He was born in Ohio and entered the army when he was 21 pri- vate. He mustered out of service as col oael of the Forty fourth Wisconsin volun- teers. Then ae drifted into Kentucky, where hs practiced law until he was appointed as- sociate justice of the Supreme court of Mon tona. A gentleman. speaking about Symes, said: I know him we'll He is one of the hravest men who ever drew the breath of life. He fought like tiger during the war, but he had the inspiration of patriotism behind him, as many others did. But I saw him once in a place where the increased danger only made the mans personal courage stand out in bolder relief. It was in Helena, Montana in 1870. Helena was theu mere mining camp. A crime was committed-a man had been shot of from his horse and two parties had been arrested. One of the suspected men was known to be desperate character. The other was mere boy. The evidence showed conclusively that the boy was only mere witness, and that the other did the shooting, but the vigilants were call cd together to make an example of the offend CTS. They gathered in the square and got possession of the two prisoners. Somehow Judge Symes, who was sick in bed, beard of what was going on- Against the protssta- tions of friends, relatives and his physician he arose and dressed himself, and by sheer will force went to the place where the vigi lantes were holding the farce of trial. Symes mounted old cart aud began to speak. He made one of the most eloquent and impassioned pleas for the lives of the culprits that I ever heard. But if you know about the vigilantes, you know that they uever meet unless they hang somebody. The crowd was very impatient of restraint, and threats were made against SJmes, but he did not mind it any than he did the wind. Finally, exhausted, he fell back and was car ried to his home. The vigilantes hung both men. I have never seeu Symes since that time until now, but I guess he'll remember it as distinctly as do."

 Greece Holding Off for the Present
 From Engaging Turkey in War
 Austria Giving the Czar Much Un-
 easiness.
 LONDON, Feb. 23.-A quite generally be- lieved report is in circulation that through the personal solicitations of Queen Victoria the war party's representatives in the Greek cabinet have consented not to precipitate hostilities with Turkey for the present. The nature of the Queens representations is not known, but it is understood that she held out some hope of ultimate favorable action by England provided Greece remains quies- cent until the permanency of the British ministry is assured. Gladstone is said to personally favor the claims of Greece, but is unwilling to allow foreign questions to en- barrass his cabinet while he is endeavoring to pilot his way through the difficulties of domestic politics. Whether the Greek premier can hold his colleagues in check long enough to carry out the desires of Eng land remains to be seen.
 A. St. Petersburg despatch states that the action of Austria in providing for an in crease of the reserve military force has caus- ed the Czar more uneasiness than any other recent political event. Russia for many reasons desires to avoid trouble with Austria at present, but the unceasingly warlike atti- tude of the Vienna government threatens to compel some hostile response from St. Pe- tersburg. The Czar has declared that he would have no fear of the result of strug gle with Austria at the proper time This is interpreted at the Russian capital meaning that Alexander expects to remain at peace with his neigh bors only until spring the early summer. It is an open secret in court circles that the movement towards India will be resumed as soon as the weather permits of advantage ous military operations in Afghanistan. Meantime the government is quietly but energetically striving to get the resources of the empire into shape to stand the long and severe strain of the foreign complications which that movement will cer- tainly aronse. The Czar is credited with the purpose to make the next campaign in Afghanistan an irresistible and decisive one, and he counts upon diplomacy to further his ends by embroiling England with Austria at that time, leaving Russia unmolested on the west while approaching the sea through Bel8chistan on the southeast

TIRE COURT RECORD.
United States District Court-Judge
 ShinRan.

hAPuAdhs
 The only court in session yesterday, be- sides the police court, was the United States District court, which opened at Ii o'clock with Judge Nathaniel Shipman. The first busi- ness accomplished was the admission of At torney c. K. Bush to practice in the court The motion for his admission was made by Attorney E. P. Aryine.
 The following grand jury was then boiled:
 samuel A Moore; Fairfaeid, Edward A. Hobert Hebron Ralph P Gilbert; Lyme, Charles ts Sur 1 phen D. Smith; Weston, ". o. Sanford; New Hart z Ward Fl. Reach Myron A. Andrews Columbia, William H. Yeamens; suffield, William L. Loomis; Mid Barrows.
 Judge Shipman immediately appointed E. C.Chapin, of New Hartford, foreman. He then said that as 8 number of the parties accused of violations of the internal revenue law had made offers of compromise, and as these of fers were now under the consideration of the government, these cases would not be pre- sented for their consideration, as such a pro ceeding would only make useless expense The next case that would be presented for their consideration was that of Hiram c. Smith, the Willimantic youth who was ac- cused of taking, secreting and embedding 8 letter from the mails. Smith pleaded guilty and the judge gave him six months in the Hartford county jail.
 In the admiralty case of Gilbert Manson vs the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road company Professor Townsend and Lawyer John II. Whiting appeared for the plaintiff and Professor Johnson T. Platt for the railroad company. It was a suit to re- cover S9OO damages for demurrage. The defense wss that the captain of the vessel which carried the cargo of coal did not go to the dock at which his vessel was consigned.

Thompson, Edward Bisher. Phil lip Dooley, and Charles Burwell. The case Of Samuel Bingham, the Windham bank cashier, was not presented to the grand jury nor will it be till the May term He was bound over to this court Monday by United States Commissioner Allen Penney of Nor wich after hearing of four days.
