usa of Ethereal Whisky.

According to The Lancet, in certain dis
tricts in the north of Ireland ether is
largely used as an intoxicant. A special
kind of ether is prepared for drinking
purposes, and its success in supplanting
whisky appears to be owing to its cheap
ness, for person can obtain for a penny
sufficient of the potent fluid to intoxicate
him. 1t may be here mentioned that the
so called chloric ether, which, under its
newer name of spirits of chloroform, is
prescribed to give a pleasant flavor to
nauseous draughts, has often been used
as stimulant by inebriates who have had
access to it. It is not ether, but consists
of solution of chloroform diluted in
nineteen parts of rectifed spirit. With
regard to ether sold for drinking pur-
poses. it is asserted that the excise
authorities have been applied to, but they
have no power to control its SALE

Binding the Cantor.

While Mr.. Anderson was leisurely trav-
cling through South Africa, in wagon
drawn by sixteen oxen, he heard from the
Bushmen many stories of their remarkable
escapes from lions. One Bushman, having
been seized by the arm by q lion, had the
presence of mind to use his free arm to
take up handful of sand and throw it in
the lions eyes. The beast, roaring with
pain and blinded, let go the man, who ran
away before the lion could recover his
sight. Mr.. Anderson saw the man and
the marks Of the lions teeth on his arm.
That lion was not as cool as a sergeant
in the United States army, who was sta
toned at one of the forts on the western
plains. A soldier, having deserted, was
captured by the sergeant in a mining
camp fifty miles from the fort.
While returning, they were passing a
saloon and the prisoner begged the privi-
lego of going in and getting ''drink. I"
The sergeant consented, and they went in
together and stood before the bar, on
which was a pepper box filed with cay
enne pepper.
The soldier took the box up, unscrewed
the perforated lid, threw handful of red
pepper into the sergeant's eyes, and
started for the door. The blinded man,
though suffering intensely, retained his
self possession. He drew his revolver,
fired in the direction of the retreating
footsteps, and shot the deserter through
the heart.-Youth's Companion.

Old Fashioned Political oratory

The political oratory of the United
States for the first half of the present
century, if we except the speeches of a
few well known statesmen, had in it lit
tie, if anything, to commend it to the
student. The addresses were, as rule,
delivered to outdoor assemblies composed
of men whose education had not been
such as to render them critical as to
either matter or manner. The orator had
full license not only in respect to state
ment of fact, but in every other particu-
lar, for the art of stenography had not
reached that perfection which enabled
the reporter to catch every word of the
speaker and fasten it forever on the
printed record of the time. To the un-
educated nearer a ludicrous but indeli-
cate anecdote, humorous but coarse ex-
preston, torrent Of SANDER, or flight
of grandiloquent but meaningless rhap-
sody was frequently more satisfactory
than would have been the polished and
witty periods of Wendell Phillips, or the
argumentative discourses of Daniel Web
ster.
We occasionally find now, on the stage
of political action in the west, fossil of
that old time. He has been delivering the
same address for half q century, with
such slight changes in it from year to
year as would reconcile it to the times.
His speech has never appeared in print,
because it contains nothing worthy Of pub
LEGATION. Indeed, in cold type it would be
recognized at once as an absurdity. and
yet it still finds those who applaud its
successive repetitions, and insist that it
is the sublimest effort of the human mind.
John Beatty in The Writer.
