The Buffalo Mans Bill Passes.

A Buffalo member of the Legislature
was making a speech in the Assembly
in favor of bill he had introduced, and
which some members had opposed on
the ground that the appropriation asked
for was too much. 1.-The gentlemen
assert" he said, ''that $4,000 is too
great an amount to appropriate for this
purpose, I don't think it is, when we
take into consideration the amount of
good it will do and in comparison with
similar sums expended in other direc-
tions. I went up to the top floor of the
Capitol the other day, and into a little
room away over in one corner. There
was an old Teller sitting there
called ento-an etto-an anti-no, hang
it!'' that amt it, he said. while the
Assembly roared, rs he held his right
hand poised above his head to give en-
phasis to the word when he got it.
But he couldn't surmount the difficulty,
and bracing up again he started of,
saying: ''Oh, hang it, you all know
what l mean; he was one of them fell
lers that sticks pins in bugs-I don't
know what you call him, but I call him
humbug-he gets more than $4,000"
The bill went through.-Bufato Truth.

lNTEMPERANcE AND CRIME.

At Least Two-Thirds of All the Crimes
Committed May BE Justly Attributed
to the Use of Intoxicating Liquors.
The second in the series of Temper
ance meetings under the joint super
vision of the General Assembly'S Per-
manent Committee on Temperance
and the Standing Committee on Tenn
perance of the Presbytery of New York,
was held on Sunday evening. The prin-
cipal address of the evening was made
by Chief-Justice Noah Davis, who spoke
on the Relation of Intemperanee to
Crime" He dwelt particularly on
what he had seen in his official capaci-
ty, saying: " For more than quarter
of a century have watched the stream
of crime sweeping its victims past me.
Why should l not denounce TO the
world the causes of those crimes? OF
the large numbers of criminals ar
raigned before me, have, as a general
thing, inquired into the causes of their
crimes, and it is my firm conviction
that of such as homicide, wife-beating,
assault and battery and disorderly con-
duct, fully eight-tenths are due to the
use of Intoxicating liquors. OF all crimes,
the testimony of many judges for over
two hundred years SHOWS that at least
two-thirds are attributable to the same
cause. The English law, from which
our criminal law is taken, makes drunk
enness no excuse for crime, else fear
we would not ourselves have had the
virtue to do it. If this were not an ac-
knowledged principle of law drunk
enness would be the preparation for
every crime.
Judge Davis spoke strongly in favor
of the adoption OF general system of
paying off workmen in che middle of
the week as one means of preventing
the squandering of their earnings fee.
rum, and thus of preventing crime. He
stated that three times within the l~st
four weeks he had yosng men before
him who had in each case committed n
crime late on Saturday night or Sunday
morning. After having spent the night
in a Gquor-shop with fifteen or twenty
companions one was in each instance
killed. If the workmen were paid in
the middle of the week and went to
work the next day they would notspend
their money for liquor. IN. Y. o.

A SCIENTIFIC VIEW.

Facts Which Have Been Scientifically
Established, and What Actual OBJ
servation Has Taught.
Ten years ago, at the request of the
Edinburgh Society of Arts, DR.. B. w.
Richardson, T. r. S., delivered before
that body six lectures on alcohol, pre-
senting the result of a protracted
scientific investigation of the subject.
Among the facts thus scientifically
established were the following:
1. Alcohol, instead of raising, low
ers the temperature OF the body.
After drunken stupor it has some
times taken three days to restore the
natural warmth, under the most favor
able circumstances. Even moderate
drinkers are peculiarly exposed to
dangerous 'scolds."
2. Alcohol is not, in any proper
sense, a food. The development of
fat from its use is simply due to struct-
ural degeneration of the vital organs.
5. Alcohol accelerates she action
of the heart from one hundred thou
sand beats day to, say, one hundred
and twenty-five thousand, followed by
proportionate weakening that neces-
states, successfully, additional
draughts. Hence the heart becomes
enlarged and its valves disordered; and
the brain, by the increased flow of
blood to it, is rendered for the time
more active, and is succeeded by greater
feebleness, which demands the repeti-
ton of the stimulus.
4. The whole internal cavity of the
body, all its organs, every bone and
joint, the brain and spinal cord, are
wrapped in membranes, through which
as filters, everything has to pass for the
sustenance of the respective parts.
These membranes must be just porous
enough, and be kept perfectly supple.
Now, alcohol causes them to thicken
and shrink, and thus effects general
deterioration of the organic structures.
5. Among the effects of this deteri-
Grafton, in those who drink moderate
ly, are various neuralgia pains, the
worst form of indigestion, and wake
fulness.
6. At later stage of drunkenness,
not a single organ of the body escapes
REORGANIZATION of its vital structure,
though heredity or other conditions
may cause seeming concentration of
disease on some particular organ-the
liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the heart,
the brain or spinal cord.
z. eff this agent do really for the
moment cheer the weary and impart
flush of transient pleasure to the I'M
wearied who crave for mirth, its in
fuence-doubtful even in these modest
and moderate degrees-is an infnitesi-
nal advantage, by the side of an in
fnity of evil for which there is no COM
pensation and no human cure"
The above are the teachings of
science. We will add the teachings of
actual observation. Sir Andrew Clark,
one of the most eminent medical au-
thorities in Great Britain, says that in
seven out of ten of his hospital patients
the disease was caused by drink, and
in the three others was aggravated by
it. He had sometimes thought of Civ
ing up his practice and going about the
country in crusade against intoxi-
eating drinks Youths Companion.
