IMAM, hpih II, AocO'
ED. REVIEW: The political "kettle
seems to be boiling over, we are flooded with
persons who are over willing to serve the dear
people and it is astonishing 10 see persons
who heretofore have been content to serve in
the humber walks of life leap suddenly up
and claim that the party owes them the posi-
ton they clamor for while at the same time
they do not count the cost to the party who is
endcavoring to insure success by placing strong
men upon the ticket. As we are upon the
eve Of a convention it is to be hossd that
these candidates having no shadow of chance
for election will gracefully retire and thereby
hasten the labors of the convention and better
still show their good sense and save them
selves the modification OF defeat We cannot
afford TO place weak ticket before The public
neither can We foster those who have in the
past assisted in slaughtering any portion Of our
ticket. There are men before the convention
who should be nominated and that to by ac-
climation, | refer to Prof. Geo. T. Russell Of
Oakland who is in every respect qualified for
the position TO which he aspires and against
whom no one can say aught. He is grad
uate of Yale College and as an educator has
no superior in the state, every teacher in
Douglas county knows this and is willing to
accord him that honor and no better man
could be found to be placed at the head of
educational affairs of this county than Mr..
Russell. lie will poll more votes from the
ranks Of teachers than any one else. So let
the convention nominate Mr.. Russell as he is
the choice Of the people. A TEACHER.

CONFERENCE.-The

In reading the list Of delegates Bro Howard
was announced as Rev. John Hqwdard ant
none Of the other ministers received the title
This led Rev. ]. w. Miller to call attention tc
the fact in humorous strain, which Bro
Howard quickly turned upon the other by say
ing, "The secretary has it right, there is tha
much difference between u.s." This brought
down the house.
That was an amusing incident when, Mr.
Bryant, the COW boy delegate, in an swer to Mr.
Owens said something as follows: ''Mr
Owens must not speak for the Christians, he
may speak for the politicians, but l propos.
to speak for the followers OF the Lord Tesu.
Christ" Flem saw the point.
Judge Parker presided with mi pch dignit,
and ability and his stentorian voice brought

state convention was nominated he said. eve

II was altogether very dIgniticd assembly,

evidently some present who were after the
loaves and fishes but good judgement pre-.
vailed and the better sentiment rule I'd.

CANYoNvrLLE, April 9th, 1856.
ED. REVIEW: would like space in your
rlper, as it is the leading paper of the county,
Tor the following OF alcohol and the heart bv
Dr. N. b. Richardson of London, the noted
physician, he was able 10 convey a consider
able amount of conviction TO an intelIiqent
scholar by simple experiment. The scholar
was singing the praises Of the ruddy bumper
saying that he could not get through the day
without it, when the doctor said to him, twill
you be kind enough to feel my pulse as 1
stand heref' He did so, he said "count it
carefully; what does it sayp" ''Your pulse
says seventy -four, he then sat down in chair
and then asked him TO count it again, he did
SO and sad, ''your pulse has gone down to
seventy" lie then laid down on the lounge,
and said ''wil you take ii again7" The reply,
''why, it is only sixty-four; what an extraordi-
nary thing!' He then said "when you lie
down at night, that is the way nature gives
your heart rest. You knowInothingl about it
but that beating organ is resting to that extent
if you reckon it up, it is great deal of rest;
because in lying down the heart is doing ten
strokes less minute, multiply that by sixty
and it is six hundred; multiply it by eight
hours and within fraction it is 5000 strokes
different, as the heart is throwing six ounces Of
blood at every stroke it makes difference of
10000 ounces of lifting during the night:
When you lie down at night without any al
cohol, that is the rest your heart gets, but
when you take your wine or grog, you do not
allow your heart that rest, for the influence of
alcohol is to increase the number of strokes
instead of getting this rest, you put on some
thing like 1900 extra strokes and the result
is you rise up very sleepy and unfit for the next
days work until you have taken a little more
OF the ruddy bumper, which you say is the
soul Of man below. X, X.
