Danger of Acquiring the Morphine Habit

Professor Dujardin-Beaumetz, Paris,
France, in recent lecture at the Cochin
Hospital, Paris, France. on the treatment of
nervous diseases said: need not here
speak Of the advantages and dangers of
morphine. have many times discussed
this subject, showing that if morphine is an
admirable analgesic medicament, it is also
the most dangerous of all by reason of the
fact that the patient becomes accustomed to
and dependent on the morphine injections,
and ends in becoming a morphiomaniac.
1t may be affirmed that morphiomania
has become one Of the vices of the day, and
we may almost lay it down as rule that
any patient who for thirty consecutive days
takes morphine injections will ever after be
a victim to the habit, even when the symp-
toms of the primary malady shall have COM
pletcly disappeared; and it will thenceforth
be matter Of no little difficulty to cure the
morphine habit, now become disease more
rebellious than the affection for which these
injections were first ordered.
The number OF fmorphiomaniacsi increases
every day, and this deplorable vice exists in
all classes Of society. Unfortunately, our
own profession is not exempt from this
abuse, and know quite number Of medl-
cal co1JrereS who have been or are still VIC
tins OF morphine.

Last Thursday night the local edi-
tor ran across the hungriest set OF

Land a whole fish at one gulp, and he
would have taken in anothe, had we
not been standing by and prevented
him. Oh! Putt! can't these Fores-
tonians eat, and one Of them had the
face to say, after eating as much as
three men ought to eat, that he would
now like to whet his appetite on that
great Sandwich Island delicacy con-
sisting of steamed dog and live
shrimps. We warn our citizens to
look out for these gentlemen when
they make their second trip to Man
ring, in order that they may make
such preparations as will take the
very dining out of their hats"
J.G. Dinkins & Co. are agents for the
celebrated Aqua-C Crystal spectacles and eye
glasses. Call and examine them.
What is the matter with the public
wells and pumps? They have been
needing the attention of the munici-
pal authorities nearly all the winter,
and we think that it is getting time
that they be put in a condition that
persons may be able to get draught
of decent water. The wells in front
of the court house and post Office
contain some filthy substance in them,
which makes the water taste very bad,
and unless they are attended to, we
may expect typhoid fever or other
fearful disease as the result of using
this foul water. A few dollars spent
for cleaning out these wells may save
weeks of sickness and probably the
lives of some of our citizens. We
hope that the council will have these
wells cleaned out right away, and
that they will also have all Of the pub
lie pumps repaired and kept in
repair.

4 Dead Man breaches His Own Funera
Sermon.

New YORK, Feb. 24-One Of the strangest
funeral services on record occurred at Larch'
mont yesterday. The dead man preached
his own funeral sermon over his own re-
mains and the dead wife of the corpse
sang HYMNS over the coffin. This was done
at the funeral of Rev. Thomas Allen Horne,
who died on Friday, aged II years. Eight
months ago the remains of his venerable
wife We're carried to the grave. Mr.. Horne
had left explicit instructions as to his burial
and the services to be held over his remains,
and yesterday his dining room and parlol
were filled with mourners who had come to
pay respect to his memory. Shortly after
0 o'clock the ceremony commenced, and from
the table was heard the sound OF an angelic
voice singing that beautiful hymn:
4 few more years Shall roll, *
4 few more seasons come.
And We shall be with those we love,
In the land beyond the sun.
For some time feeling OF superstitlous
awe pcrvuded the apartment, as many dis
tinctly recognized the voice Of Mrs. Horne,
bu. when they perceived that it came through
:; phon0graph they grew more composed.
As soon as the hymn was over, Charles
Horne, nephew Of the deceased, made
some alterations in the machine, and insert
Cd n roll that contained the funeral sermon
of his uncle, uttered by himself. Seldom
had a more impressive one been listened to.
Il sounded SO weird that two ladies' tainted
and had to be carried out. On this occasion
thc virtues of the dead man We're left alone,
and instead there was Il long list Of faults
enumerated, for which the mourners were
asked to pray for Gods pardon. There was
a stop and the nephew put in another roll.
The voice took up the address where it had
lett off. 1t enumerated the virtues of the
deceased wife. Atthis point of the address
the voice Of the deceased had evidently
broken down, and from the instrument the
terrible sounds of q strong man weeping
and unable to restrain himself broke out
with terrible realistic force. The next few
sentences were uttered in o broken voice,
and praved God that if it pleased him to
remove the speaker by a sudden death, or
to take him away in some unusual manner,
he would consider prayers after death as
efiicacious as those before. The nephew
RANGED two instruments on the table, and at
once the soprano of the wife and the baritone
of the husband joined together in singing.
Several of the audience tried to JOIN IN the
hvmn, but their voices were cnoHcd with
emotion, and they were unable to proceed.
The interment took place IN Woodlawn
cemetery.

COFFHNS AND CAskEIS
Made The Jury Agree.

Tie Spartanburg Spartan says: John W.
Lanford was acquitted of the murder Of
Langston at Laurens last Saturday. The
evidence was very contradictory. After the
jury had been out about fifteen hours, they
reported to Judge Izlar that they could not
agree. After talking to the jury and max
ing some explanations, they retired to their
rooms and in two hours brought out a ver-
dict of acquittal Judge Izlar was right. It.
is better to force a verdict, if possible, rather
than have q murder case that involves q
whole neighborhool continued from court
to court. The result of these continuances
and new trials is generally IN acquittal.
Where Judge is satisfied that al the facts
of the case have been brought out and that
the jury has as clear conception Of the
facts as any jury can possibly have he does
right to force verdict if possible. Judge
Izlar did right in this case and he is to be
commended for it.

Marc Antony's Grafton Over Caesar.
[Oa City Darict.l

[Oa City Darict.l
Friends, Romans, countrymen! Lend me
Your ears;
I will return them next Saturday. l come
To bury Cesar, because the times are hard
And his folks can't afford to hire an under
taker
The evil that men do live after them,
In the shape OF progeny, who reap the
Benefit of their life insurance.
So let It be with the deceased.
Brutus hath told you that Cesar was ambl-
tiouS.-
What does Brutus know about 1t!
It is none of his funeral. Would it We're!
Here under leave Of you l come to
Make q speech at Caesars funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and Just to me,
He loaned me five dollars once when was
in pinch,
And signed my petition for postoffiee,
But Brutus says he Was ambitious
Brutus should wipe off his chin.
Cesar has brought many captiyes home to
Rome
Who broke rock on the streets until their
ransoms
Did the general Golfers NIL.
When the poor hath cried, Cesar hath "ept'
Because it didn't cost anything, and
Made him solid with the masses. lCheeIs. ]
Ambition should be made of sterner stun.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
Brutus is a liar, and can prove 1t.
You all did see that on Lupercal
I thrice presented him with a klngly crown
Which he did thrice refuse, because 1t cld
not fit him quite.
Was that ambition? Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious.
Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the
country,
But he is horse thief Of the deepest dye
IApplause.
If YOU have tears, prepare to shed them now
Laughter
You all know this ulster.
l remember the first time ever Caesar put 1t
It was on summers evening in his tent
With the thermometer registering 80 de-
grees in the shade;
But it was an ulster to be proud Of,
And cost ST at Marcus Swartzmeyers,
Corner of Broad and Ferry streets, sign OF
the red fag.
Old SwartZ wanted $40 for 1t,
But finally came down to 81, because 1t was
Caesar
Was this ambition? If Brutus says it was
He is even greater liar than Mrs. Illton
Look in this place ran Cassiuss dagger
through
Through this the son of q gun Of Brutus
stabbed;
And, when he plucked the steel away,
Marc Antony, how the blood OF Caesar fol-
lowed it,
ICheers and cries of "Give rs something
on the Silver Bill" Hit him again J.
etc.
I come not, friends, to steal away your
hearts.
I am no thief, as Br ltus is
Brutus has monopoly in all that business,
And if he had his Just deserts ne would be
In the pententiary, and don't you torget It,
Kind friends, sweet friends, do not wish
to stir you up
To such q sudden ilocl Of mutIny,
And as it looks like rain,
The pail bearers will please place the coffin
in the hear.e,
And we will proceed TO bury Cesar,
Not to praise him.

4 Horse that Wears SpectaclcS.

The .inrsrictm Druggist tells of a horse that
wears spcctaclcs. The farmer that owned
him having come to the conclusion, from
various symptoms. that tie animal was
short-sieLtel, got an oculist to take the
necessary measurements and had a pair Of
spectacles manufactured for him. They are
made to fasten firmly into the headstall, SO
that they do not shake out Of place At tirat
the horse appeared startled by this addition
to the harness, but lie soon got used to his
glasses and liked them. in fact, says the
owner, when turn him out to pasture he
feels uneasy and uncomfortable without his
goggles, and last Sunday he hung around
the barn and whined so plaintively that !
put the headstall and goggles on him. and
he was so glad that he rubbed my shoulder
with his nose. Then he kicked mp his heels
and danced down to the pasture. He could
see what he was going to eat then.
