SATURDAY MARCH ~, 1855.
France anead OF Delaware.

1t seems that the French are ahead of the
Diamond State in punitive arts.
A French editor, who had indufged in the
luxury of garotting delinquent subscriber,
carrying his contempt of that class of men
to the extent OF even choking his unfortn-
nate victim to death, was sentenced to the
punishment of seven years ''reclusion."
This is style of punishment much more
worthy of attention than the whipping-post
or pillory. In the case of this journalist the
terms of the sentence are ''reclusiou," in
other words, solitary confinement for the
whole of this period, the inevitable result OF
which must be that that unfortunate man will
either leave his prison an idiot or die lin
gering death before tie expiry of the SEN
tence. Moreover, to leave no element OF
barbarity out of the sentence. the wretched
convict will be deprived OF all light, and
will be given absolutely no occupation.
This was sentence adjudged by a French
court within the last few days For CAPT
tai otfense seven years'incarceration may not
be considered too much, but the barbarity of
the concomitants of punishment of the
kind described should not be tolerated in the
present age among nations claiming ordI-
nary civilization.

Ten and Coffee.

Tea exercises powerful inhibitory effect
on salivary digestion, and this appears to be
entirely due to the large quantity of tann,n
1T contains. 1t appears that tannin exists in
two conditions in the tea leaf. One, the lar
ger portion, is i the free srate, and is easily
extracted by hot water, but about one-foIrth
is fixed, and remains undissolved in the fully
exhausted tea leaves. Some persons have
supposed that by infusing tea for very
short time-only two or three minutes-the
passing of tannin into the infusion would be
avoided. This is delusion; you can no
more have tea without tannin than you can
have wine without alcohol. Tannin in the
free state, is one OF the most soluble sub
stances known. If you pour hot water on
little heap of tannin it dissolves like so much
pounded sugar. Tea infused for two minu-
tes was not found sensibly inferior in its re-
tarding power on salivary digestion to tea
infused for thirty minutes One gentleman
Of my acquaintance (says Sir w. Roberts)
in his horror of tannin was in the habit OF
preparing his tea by placing the dry leaves
on paper filter and simply pouring on the
boiling water. In this way he thought to
evade the presence of tannin in his tea. But
| if you try the experiment and allow the pro-
| duct as it runs through the filter to fall into
| a solution of perchlorde of iron, you will
| find that an intense lnky black coloration is
produced, showing that tannin has come
| through in abundance. In order to diminish
as far as possible the retarding influence of
| tea on salivary digestion it should be made
weak and used sparingly, and it should not
be taken with but after the meal. There is
another means mentioned by Sir w. Rob
erts, of obviating the retarding effect of tea
on salvary digestion and commended by
him to the dyspeptic it is to add pinch OF
bicarbonate of soda to the tea when it is be
| ing infused in the teapot. He found that 10
| grains of soda added to an ounce of dry tea
almost entirely removed this retarding intlu-
ence. The infusion thus made is darker
than usual, but the flavor is not sensibly
\ altered, nor is the infusion rendered alkaline
for tea infusion is naturally Slightly acid
and the soda, in the proportion mentioned
only just neutralizes this acidity Coffee,
unless taken in very large quantity, has very
little retarding effect on saivary digestion
this is explained by the fact that the tannin
of tea is replaced in coffee by substance
called eaffeo-tanic acid. Cocoa resembles
coffee and has little or no effect on salivary
digestion the use of coffee or cocoa is there
fore preferable to that of tea for persons Of
feeble digestion.-7he Nineteenth Century.

Blaine Makes His Closing Speech

GARDINER, Me-, Sept 1.-THE last
rally of the Republican campaign in the
state was held in the spacious Coliseum in
this place tonight. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Blaine said
1t is worth while in this last hour for dis
cussion. standing as we are on the eve of
election, to recall the peculiarities of this
campaign. Tor certainl,' the general argu-
ment submitted to the people has been, on
the side of the opposition, filled with contra
dictions, not to say absurdites.
The Democrats have, apparently, been
unable to define their position on
any question. On the leading
national issue of protection they have been
timid and irresolute to the last degree, occa-
sionally putting forward a few rank free
trade arguments through some one of their
speakers, and recalling or qualifying them
in one OF their leading organs on the sue
ceediDg day; then, again. arguing in the
main for the Morrison tariff bill
as whole, and yet afraid to

report of the operations OF the labor bureau
for the year ended June 80, 1886. The
commissioner says: f
The special agents of the bureau are now

special agents can he relieved from the work
on which it is now engaged. From the fact
OF the late organization of the bureau in
1885, you will at once see that it
is impossible to submit at this time the mat
ter constituting the second annual report of
the bureau. [ am in hopes. however, by
vigorous service. to be able 20 submit the re-

to perform its work thoroughly and properly.
