ChIoral IN Uncertain Treacherous Drug.
AT a recent meeting OF the Cincinnati
Academy Of Medicine the uses of "chloral"
as a remedy were pretty thoroughly dis
cussed The experience of the profession
seemed TO be that "chloral was an uncertain
and treacherous remedy" Some persons are
more effected by dose Of four grains than
others are by dose of twenty grains
Cases were reported where 200 grains per
day had been given, and one case reported
by DR.. Beck, Of the Baden army, where 43O
grains were given In three and half hours,
the patient sleeping for thirty hours and
recovering.
The profession also agreed that chloral
can not successfully be administered hypo-
dermically. There were cases reported also
where death was caused by the administra-
tion of ten or twenty grain doses, and where
dangerous symptoms resulted from a single
five-grain dose. Such remedy can not b
regarded less than dangerous In any except
the most siullful handz-Inter Ocean.

SPIRIT.

In budding splendor and most wilson's
With face down-drooped, lest its full grace
be seen,
In swaying bronzen glory of her hair,
She violet-laden stands, her hat awry,
In artlessness artistic, and 80 fair
The amorous grasses kiss her garments
hem;
The willful clover bends its sturdy stem;
The winds embrace her as she passes by,
And birds in choric volubility
Startle the hillside's bright tranquility.
Is she some native spirit of the wood
Whom mighty Pan for very love hath
wooed
Here in the dewy shadow of the pines
And noisy silence of the watchful morn,
That in quick light her beauty still con-
fines
With gloriole resplendant to adorn'
What art thou, down-drooped and uncon-
scious face,
That flittest like Drysds thro' the placer
Who art thou, creature of the tender
dawn,
By light conceived, and of the morning
born2
With thunderous roar and diapason
strong,
From seraphim and heavens assembled
host
The undulating music sweeps along,
From crystal walls again TO be retost
In quivering echoes to proclaim thy race,
o, little solitary, tender facet
With hat awry and littlershoes united,
! hear thee by the echo gloriaed,
OF the infinitude of saints forgiven,
"Of such as she, the kingdom is of heaven

nose was broken and had grown
horribly distorted, and half of his
upper lip had been torn away, ex-
posing teeth like fangs. A tangled

were a pair of heavy steel bands,

According to Hecker, there are six dis
tinct styles of delivery outside Of STRAIT
egg. They are the straight delivery,
outcurve, in-curve, high in-curve, rising
ball, and drop ball. The stragetic part,
however, further divides these six classes
into many different shoots. A straight
ball can be thrown, for instance, in sew
eral ways so as TO deceive the batsman.
This is done by ranging the speed from O
swift to a slow or medium ball, or by Q
deceptive move of the arm. Then, again,
either of the'various curves can likewise
be gauged from short quick to long
stride, or a slow or swift curve, eithei
being resorted TO as means of deceivina
the batsman.-Philadelphia Press.

MORE LEGISLATION FOR UTAH.

Some interesting reading for both
Saints and sinners will be found in the
telegraphic columns OF the DEMOCRAT
this evening. We refer to the anti
polygamy bill introduced in the House
to-day by Representative Woodburn, OF
Nevada. 1t is a sweeping measure, and
should it become law, would go far toward
effectually disposing of the Church-and-
State infamy here, and the uprooting OF
that organization which teaches that its
members must violate the laws OF the
land before they can hope to find favor in
the eyes OF Almighty God.
As we read the provisions of this bill,
it is proposed to disfranchise every Nor
mon in the land. This is severe treat
ment, it is true, but the disease is OF such q
nature as to require the most heroic treat
ment known under the Constitution No
good Mormon can, without committing
perjury, take the oath prescribed for
voters in section OF this bill, and it is
safe TO say that they will not attempt to
take it. Such being the case, the poiti-
cal control OF this Territory must pass
into non-NIormon hands, and the era of
reformation, long-lookcd and eagerly
wished for, will commence in Utah.
The preamble of this measure correctly
sets forth the situation as it exists here,
and the provisions OF the bill are drawn
with view to fully cover each and
every evil thus set forth. Not only is it
proposed to take the ballot out of the
hands OF those who have so long dis.
graced it, but it is also sought to make it
impossible for those who in any way en-
courage, aid or abet, directly or in
directly, the misguided people here in
their criminal opposition to the laws OF
the land, TO obtain foot-hold here by
acquiring title to the public lands. And
that is just and proper.
Under the sixth section, it is proposed
to declare void all existing poll and reg.
istry lists, and under the supervision Of
the Utah Commission lin this Territory
hold elections which must result in plac.
ing in Office non -Mormons only. And il
we do not misinterpret this provision, it
is so drawn that, within few short
months after becoming law, such an
election may be held and the nullifiers
who now hold on to office may be dis
possessed.
This bill does credit to Mr.. Woodburn''
intelligence, rs having comprehensively
grasped the situation here, and we trus
he may be successful in pressing il
through the House ut the earliest posi-.
BILE moment. The passage of the new
Edmunds bill through the Senate by sucl
large majority is evidence that this
measure will meet with no considerable
opposition in that body, and approval by
the President may be confidently looked

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

The NeWs on Saturday set itself the
task OF "refuting" the conclusions arrived
at by U. s. Commissioner Critchelow in
his review OF the evidence in the Cannon
conspiracy case, and found no difficulty
in accomplishing the task-to its own
are grieved to say, doesn't agree with
Commissioner Critchelow in his findings.
While the Commissioner was conf dent
that the evidence clearly warranted him
in imposing $1,000 worth OF restraint
upon the defendants until such time as
the Grand Jury could investigate the
case, the Ne,cs is equally confident that
the charge upon which they are held is
both malicious and absurd. Doubtless,
the defendants themselves are OF the
same opinion at least, it is safe to say
that they would so express themselves if
asked to pass upon the merits of the
charge against them.
What pity it is the inspired Nevs did
not have its reyelating machine in better
working order week ago, since it would
not then have been under the necessity,
rs it now is, OF taking back that nice lit
tie story about Hugh Cannon being in
spired to assault Mr.. Dickson because the
latter "plied with indelicate questions
the mother who bore him" That was
an awkward mistake to come down
through the revealing wires which lead
to the Ne,vS sanctum, and especially SC
since the NeOs editor is reputed to be an
uncle OF that 'inoffensiye, beardless
boy" who committed the assault.
In the light of recently developed facts
it is impossible to reach any conclusion
other than that the NewS purposely lied
about the "motive" which young Cannon
had in assaulting Mr.. Dickson; and il
that be true, OF course no one can wonder
that it now fails to see eye to eye with
Commissioner Critchelow in his ruling
Doubtless the Commissioner feels bad
about it, but not sufficiently so, We opine
to reduce the amount OF the defendants
bail to such sums as would enable then
to easily furnish the same and then e
hunting their partner Hugh.
