A Merited Rebuke.

TO THE DEFENDER OF WANTON MURDER.
That there should be found within the limits
of an enlightened society single individual so
utterly bereft of respect for law and the sacred
ness of human life as to attempt to palliate the
guilt of the perpetrators of the Fletcher Brook
tragedy with the unreas enable and fimsy argu-
ment that to the game laws of Maine should be
attributed the responsibility of the outrage, Is
certainly as deplorabe as it is detestable.
The Fletcher Brook enormity is but the out
growth of spirit of a lawlessness which has
pervaded certain section of the country for
years as the record of criminal prosecutions
will show.
Officers, whose duty if has been to protect
4 the law from violation and thereby preserve
| from Wanton destruction the game which was
| being rapidly eXterminated, have been subject
/ ed TO most outrageous indignites and persecu-
/ tons.
| Ostracsm, the torch and other devilish agen-
cie> have been resorted to as redress for fancied
wrongs. and yet in the full glare of these facts,
/ incredible as it may seem, those who designed
and carried into effect such nefarious plots are
not without sympathizers. Among the class
alluded to are to be found men of respectable
| ty who are loud in their professions of law and
order but are nevertheless apologists for the
poacher and his evil doings.
Had crime similar to the one which has
recently engrossed the public mind been COM
! mitted under different circumstances these men
would demand that the full power of the State
be invoked to bring the perpetrators to justice.
\ GU would hear from them no miserable senti-
mental whine because of the denial of the
right of ball. privilege which one has lately
assorted was protfered to the assassin of Gar
field and withheld from the accomplish in the
murder of Wardens Hill and Niles.
sympathy is certainly commendable provid-
ed it is extended in the right direction, but to
prostitute this virtue i'll the interest of crime
makes is an unmtigated fraud. Nachas Re-
| publican.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The re-
suits OF INVESTIGATION offer some curious sug-
gestions. Delirium trcmens is the result of too
much alcohol on the brain. Put decaying meat
into alcohol and decay instantly stops. Freez-
ing has the same effect. Put a snake, lizard
or toad in an ice chest and it will become dor
mant and so continue alive and healthy but will
require no nourishment. Bears and some 9th
er animals are said to live during the coolest
part of the year without food. The brain and
much of the bodily tissue of an habitual drunk
ard are found to be hardened by the use of al
cohol. a man drinks whiskey to warm him in
the winter and to cool him in summer. Alcohol
when it first enters the stomach burns until the
acid or digestive fluid is consumed. then the al
cohol is Immediately cooling. As the alcohol
flows out over the system it operates in the
same way, heating at first as long as it finds an
acid to contend with, then cooling as long as it
remains in the system. Acids make action and
consequent heat while alcohol stops decompo-
siton and consequent action, and by stopping
action destroys heat Heat is the result of act
ion, whether the action is in accumulation or
decomposition. In proportion that a mans
brain is saturated with alcohol in that proper
ton he sees cold, sluggish, creeping, crawling
things such as snakes, lizards, etc.
Darwin says idiots resemble the lower ami
mails in looks and actions and the more dense
their idiocy the lower the animal they resemble,
and argues from this as one of the evidences
that man is evolved from lower creation. and
calls diocy only setback. May not the fact
that deliriunl-tremens makes the victim see low
reptiles prove that alcohol is only setback?
That in proportion as the brain is cooled,
hardened and deadened the man is in just that
proportion reduced back to the dull reptile?
lnhaling the vapors of burning opium pre-
sents an opposite extreme. The victim of
opium sees fairies or spirit-like forms and
beautiful colors.
Query. Do these two extremes tend to prove
mans relation to two eXistences, one below and
one above him! C.s.G

The rumor of James Gordon Bennett 5
death the other day, which was promptly
contradicted by The Herald, reminds me
Of a story of that distinguished Ameri-
can editor which has never been pub
lished, but which is more than worthy OF
publication. In 1874 a party Of artists
and Bohemians were studying in Paris
The winter was very cold, and business
dull in the extreme. Most of them were
verYimpecunious; the minority were on
the point of starvation. The brightest
and happiest of the party, "Caln Blume,
now an artist of distinction and consider
able wealth, was the poorest of the lot
He was too proud TO borrow, and had no
income except from the sale of his piCt-
ures-and these no one wonld buy.
The coldest day of the week some Of
his fellow artists called upon him in his
garret and found him hard at work as
usual. There was no fire in the room, the
ice upon the panes was half inch thick,
and even the water in his pitcher was
frozen solid. To keep himself alive,
"Cal" had pinned rug around him, and
tied towels and blankets about his legs
until he resembled case of elephantiasis.
His lunch consisted of dry bread, and
very little of that. Two of the party took
pity upon the poor fellow, and hearing
that the proprietor of The Herald was in
Paris, called and put the facts before
him. The next day Mr.. Bennett drove
around in his carriage TO Gals" lod9-
ings and examined the pictures. He
priced two. Cal" offered the pair for
fifty francs. The editor smiled and shiv-
cred and promised to send round for

In the mournful solitudes of the So
logne, under the dark frs in the desolate
forests, are monotonous pools as still as
mirrors, hardly troubled from time to time
with an air bubble, such as the fishes
make when they rise TO breathe. The
water is opauqe-glaucous green, like the
Seine Of an evening, when it draws you
to it. These small lakes are the leech
pools. Certain capitalist. make millions
by feeding the leeches. 1t is so easy to
fatten them with living prey! Are there
not toothless dogs that are no longer good
for anything else? Are there not old
horses, worn out servants, with bones
jutting through the bristling hide! If
the skin is not salable, the blood can be
turned to some account. The beast is al
lowed 20 Craze in peace, and so put on a
few pounds Of flesh. Then it is driven
into the pool, and it is high time for the
leeches. They hang on to its legs, fianks
and breast, and the livid water reddens
in places as if it were blossoming.-

HOSPITAL COMMISSIONERS.

Prospect that the Old Rovers Will Turn
Over Their Fund-Card from Jshn II.
Thomas.
The hospital commissioners met at the
mayors Office last night. Little business
was transacted, but numerous plans were
discussed. The commissioners are decid-
edly "forninst" the stand-pipe grounds as a
location for the hospital, but at present
have no site in view. They are endeavOr-
ing to persuade the surviving members of
the old Rover fire company to turn over a
fund they have in bank to them
for the benefit OF the hos
pital. The fnnd amounts to
about 81. 800 and the consent of quite a
number Of the old Rovers has already been
obtained. The money could not be devoted
to more worthy object and it is to be
hoped that the Rovers will transfer it to the
hospital commission.
John II. ThOmas's position with refer
ence 20 the site for the hospital is explained
in the following card:

make the statement that am not favOrabIy
disposed toward erecting the hospital on
stand pipe grounds. This is a mistake.
While it might be possible to find elsewhere
a piece of ground more desirable, yet | am
of the opinion none such will be found
within the reach of the trustees; and | am
doubtful if more favorable location
can be found, all things consid-
cred. If there is nothing incompatible
in having hospital situated in quiet re-
sort. apart, then | think there is no other
| substantial objection to that location. The
proximity of railroad tracks is slight OBJ
lection. perhaps, but many of our people
live, of choice, and will die, nearer to rail
road tracks than these grounds are; anC
hence that objection cannot be considered
serious. While it is desirable 10 have tn,
location settled as soon as possible, hop,
our people will not get impatient, inasmucl
as the trustees are doing such good worl
in perfecting plans, as will give us mucl
better hospital than was contemplated il

what True Merit win Do.

German Syrup within few years, has as
tonished the world. II is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs.
Colds and the seyerest Lung troubles. Ii
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves them in
a purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell of serious Illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is pos
