ALCOHOL As A oAusE oF n1sEAsn


 Dr. Lewis D. Mason, of the Inebriate Asylum, Fort Hamilton, N. r., discussing The Etiology of Dipsomania and the Hered. ity of Alcoholic Inebrity, determines as facts that alcoholism in progenitors will produce physical and mental degradation in their descendants, with the disorders that arise from defective nerve organize 'tion and all grades of mental weakening, from slight enfeeblement of intellect to in sanity and complete idiocy and that the laws regulating these changes are similar to those that govern congenital degenera- tive changes from other causes. The off spring of the confirmed drunkard will in- herit either the original vice or t'some of its countless Protean transformations" In another paper-on Pathological Changes in Chronic Alcoholism -Dr. Mason ex. hibits alcohol as modifying the serum and the anatomical clements of the blood, be- sides being an irritant and directly produc- ing modification and degeneration of tis- sue, and therefore as being most evidently a disease.producing agent Contrasting the little progress that has been made in the study of pathology of chronic alcohol ism and of the diseases incident to alcohol. ism with the great advance that has been achieved in knowledge of nicrobe diseases, he adds "Alcohol has not any microbe, but the grand total of it's mortality will ex. ceed the combined effect of-all the bac- teria that have ever passed the microscopic field or developed in the cuiture-tube ol the bacteriologist.p The subject is now. however, beginning to receive some of the attention it deserves. s.-POpuLor Science MontlslyJ J0r M0rch. | s.' 71a-s e..se.iftr.'

so DOTH REVENGE REcoIi.

A certain young man in ward seven is chock full of genuine human nature, which showed itself in 8 unique revenge one night last week. He has harbored amor ous feelings toward a fair neighbor for sev- eral months. Unqualified success tat last made him over confident and indiscreet. He introduced bosom friend, and was mortified to see with what rapidity friend ship can bud, blossom and mature in single week. The climax came last week, when he called upon the fickle maid to in- the opera house, and was coolly informed that his friend, MT. -, had kindly an- ticipated him. The foiled lover stepped upon the sidewalk with two handfuls of his own hair and plan for revenge form ing itself under the spots where he pulled it out. He would take another girl. So to Taylor's he hied him, only to find his rival purchasing tickets. With new light in his eye, the jealous young man selected two seats in the orchestra, one on either of those his rival had just bought, then he bought one in the balcony which con- handed good view of them. On the day of the performance he spied on by street two awful looking tramps, whom he accost- ed with, ''Say, do you want to go to the theater ?" They wanted the tickets handed over on the spot, but the young man was was too foxy for that, and it was at length agreed that they should meet him at 7.20 at the opera house entrance. He made them solemnly promise not to remove any of the soil from their countenances or in any way try to improve their personal ap- pearance, but rather to put themselves in the way of unclean influences, if any offer- ed. The travelling men showed up prompt | ly on time, and their benefactor was there to receive them. With his two satellites he took up his post at the lower entrance and waited. In few minutes the rival and the young lady stepped from car.
 'There," said the revengeful youth in tone calculated to reach the ears of the couple, "take these tickets. They are fine seats in the orchestra. Go in for some fun now p He went to his seat in the balcony with jubilee in his heart, and watched the discontinue of those poor young people at the baneful presence of those awful men during the first act, but it was with many a severe metaphorical kick at himself that
 he left his seat for home at the beginning of the second act, after witnessing polite change of seats, whereby the tramps sat together on one side of the young man, and bis girl sat on the other.-N. g. Home | stead

AN AMUSING MISTAKE.

It is an amusing thing-this mistaking a stranger for some one you know, or 1t IS amusing to see some one else do so.
 And did you ever notice the difference between men and women in the way in which they get around the mistake?
 A man will go up to another one and say;
 "Why, how do you do ?"
 As he puts out his hand the other man takes it and gives it cordial shake and says:
 "How do you do? How are you? It is fpe day. Let me see-where have l met you?
 When they come to compare their men, tai notes they discover that they never have met anywhere, but they sit down and discuss politics and religion, or anything was an every day occurrence. she has met her before, and unless the one is taken completely off guard she will draw herself up in the haughtiest manner and say, "You are mistaken" The first one blushes and apologizes and settles down thoroughly convinced of the enormity of the crime of making a'sinple mistake.
 If one is taken unawares, however, and thinks possibly she has met the very cordial greeter somewhere, she evinces much more more tact than does man under the same circumstances. She returns the cordial handshake and lets the other woman do the talking until something is said by which she can recall the former meeting, or trusts to luck in not letting the woman discover her mistake.

The French people have not yet forgot ten, nor are they likely to forget, their hu- initiation at the hands of the Germans in 1870. Their feeling with reference to this matter is vividly portrayed by General Lewal, ex minister of war, in his article on "The French Army" which will appear in Harper's Magazine for April. "France," :" he says" is still the Velleda cherished by her children the immortal Gaulish proph- etess Iadoted by her warriors often van- qnished, but never killed, retiring to bind uplher wounds in the depths of her great forests, and reappearing again radiant with fresh youth After the disaster of Rosbach she contemplated Jena after the woes of Sedan she will have, if it please God, the joy of Jena.

As the funeral cortege wound slowly on it's way toward Arlington last Tuesday, bearing with it the body of the late ad- miral of the navy, far-of booming of cannon wss heard down the Potomac, says 8 Washington correspondent of the Indian apolis. Seventeen times in solemn quo ceseion the sound reverberattd. Then, as silence settled down on the waters of the Potomac, naval officer in full-dress uni form, standing on the bridge leading to Arlington, turned to companion and re- marked: :.
 'sThat is in all human probability the last time we shall ever hear that salute. That sequence of seventeen guns, the hon ors paid an admiral, will never be heard until the rank of admiral is revived, which will never be unless this country becomes engaged in actual warfare, when necessity may cause the creation of the office of ad mira1 again. s.:..l

WARS AWFUL CARNAGE.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia, when in Washington short while ago, told quite an interesting story about the great est fatality of the war in proportion to the number of troops engaged. He was talk ing about Congressman Carlton as an ar- tillerist in the war.
 'sWhen Gen. Sedgwick's corps, he said, sssurprised our troops by crossing the Rap pahannock at Fredericksburg, and captur- ing regiment and a half of Gen. Barks- dale's Mississippi brigade and portion of the Washington artillery stationed between Fredericksburg and Hamilton's crossing, on the Richmond and Fredericksburg rail road, among these troops so cut of was battery of artillery in position inst oppo- site Deep Bottom Run, on the Rappahan- nook river, and far in advance of the bal ance of that portion of our line.
 "A brigade of Sedgwick's corps, which had crossed the river at Deep Bottom Run, discovering the position of this battery and seeing that it was unsupported by and cut of from the main line of our troops, marched upon it preparatory to charging and capturing it.
 1.-The captain commanding this battery, who is now Congressman Carlton tf Geor gia, discovering the movement-of the en- my, at once realized the situation, and knowing full well that attempt to retreat in the face of the enemy would result ir the capture and loss of his battery, prompt
 y, although entirely unsupported, moved his guns forward, meeting the advancing brigade, and when in easier canister range poured volley into the enemv's ranks which staggered and drove them back.
 Reforming, they advanced again, when Carlton repeated the dose with the same success.
 attempting third time to charge the battery, and seeing the resolute determine tion of Carlton ,and his men not to yield the field, they rushed pell nell into an ad joining ravine, when the artillerist turned his guns upon them in their hiding place, and scarcely man was left to tell the fate.
 ''The official report made few days af. reward by the federal officer in command of the brigade, as to the loss in this en. gagement, was about 1000 killed and wounded. The loss sustained by Carlton battery was remarkably slight -Atlanta Consultation
