TIE resolution adopted by the Labo
Convention in New York yesterday, that
the Governors of the several States seize
the railroads and run them as public

munism about it. There are many roads
in the country that have been built main
ly by taxation, while the Pacific roads
are really little else than public property.
Our greedy capitalists should take warn

A series of experiments prosecuted
not long since in Germany led to the
conclusion that, contrary to the usual
impression on the subject, very consid-
cradle changes in tho composition of
food may be made without inducing
corresponding changes in the relative
constituents Of the milk of the COW
the only effect being in the amount Of
concentration of the milk.


To determine these results with nc
auracy, DR.. Kuhn has repeated the cx-
perimcnts, with the general result of
showing that an increase in the albu-
men and fatty elements of a mroderate
diet, produces an increase in the milky
yield, which gradually rising (along
with bodily condition) to certain

with the maximum increase of the above
elements. Sooner or later, however,
the natural diminutiQn depending on
the duration Of lactation occurs, sntl
no increase can be produced by
increasing the food. Dimin-
ution Of the above ele
nents of the food causes diminution
in the milk yield. The addition of fat
increases the ingredients of milk gen
orally, and has no special influence o,
the amount Of fat in the milk. The
absolute production of the individual
elements of the milk agrees generally
with the relative production of the
milk as u whole (most regularly in tht
case of sugar.. The variations frou

on the amount of caseine could b.

The following graphic passage is from
the description of scene witnessed by
Mr.. Campbell and his party in the
north of Norway, from cliff 1000 feet
above the sea: "The ocean stretched
away in silent vastness at our feet the
sound of waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout; away in the north, the
huge old sun swung low along the hori-
zon like the slow beat of the pendulum
in the tall clock of our grandfather S
parlor corner. We all stood silent, look
ing at our watches. When both hands
came together at IL midnight, the full,
round orb hung triumphantly above the
waves; a bridge of gold, running due
north, spanned the water between us and
him. There he shone in silent majesty,
which knew no setting We involun-
tarily took off our hats; no word was
said. Combine if you can, the most bril-
liant sunrise and sunset you ever saw, and
its beauties will pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now lit up the ocean,
heaven and mountain. In half an hour
the sun had swung up perceptibly on its
beat; the color changed to those OF
morning; fresh breeze rippled over
the food; one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind u.s. we had
slid into another day.

An English gentleman lately went
home from India for medical advice.
He had been gradually losing the use OF
his upper extremities; and his physi-
clans attributed it to his use of snuff
But the snuff was the best of brown rap
pee, imported from a popular London
tobacconist, and the patient, therefore,
doubted the correctness of his India
medical attendants opinion, and sought
other advice.


His London physician suspected that
it was the effect of some poisonous agent
mixed with the tobacco; and finding
that the snuff was exported in leaden
cases, to keep it moist, he took measures
to ascertain whether the lead was not
the mischievous agent in the case.


Six separate parcels we're ordered from
India, and samples from each carefully
examined; when it was discovered that
lead was intimately combined with every
parcel of the snuff, and that where the
moist snuff adhered to the sides of the
leaden jars, spots of carbonate of lead
we're formed, as was conjectured by the
carbonic acid liberated by the fermenta-
ton of the moist snuff in the jar.


The inference is very obvious, that if
snuff can be thus poisoned by leaden
jars, any other article of consumption
which is at all moist, or liable to become
so, may be in like manner poisoned (;
and that the use of leaden jars or boxes,
for such purposes, should be entirely
abandoned

In England recently the corpse OF a
drowned man having been brought TO
land a woman brought to the spot her
son, afflicted with wens upon the neck
She obtained of the coroner permission
that the boy should draw his hand seven
times across the neck of the deceased.
This, if foolish, was at least harmless.
Another recent instance OF FOLLY with
disastrous results is recorded. 4 man
had died of typhoid fever. A boy at
hicted with wens was brought to the SIDE
of the body, and the dead hand was
placed upon his neck. He took the dis
ease in consequence, and the malady
was communicated to the family and
spread through the whole neighborhood:
The disease was of q violent type, and
many deaths followed Such things, in
the nineteenth century, seem incredible
but this occurrence is vouched for and
no doubt took place. Perhaps, after all,
II is not much more senseless than many
customs which still obtain even in our
own midst. Not being attended with
disastrous consequences, we do not hear
Of or note them. But the folly is no less
absurd. The superstition which per-
petuates the idolatry Of the pagan ages

The cheapest and surest way to get
an undesired or unknown person splen-
didly before the public and crowded
houses, is to get somebody to persecute
him. There are other ways, but this is
the surest. One of the most courted
lady-lecturers of the day owes by far the
largest half of her notoriety to dread
ful platform failure, which produced for
her such an avalanche of newspaper
scorn and rebuke that she became known
land sympathized with all over the land
in a single day. Another of the most
courted lady-lecturers of the day is soar
ing along on lucrative notoriety, nine
tenths Of which is the result of industri-
ously-supplied two-line personal items,
telling how she wore her hair at Long
Branch. So you see how easy it is to
excite the public interest in an individ-
ual, and fill that individuals lecture
halls for him. Do you not perceive that
Mr.. Surratt, who cannot at present in
duce more than a hundred people to
listen to him, is on the high road to noto-
riety, which, in avery little while, will
cram the largest halls in America with
people eager to see the new wonder and
hear him2 Indeed he is on that very
high road.

A correspondent from Switzerland
writes of recent fatal disasters in the
vicinity of Mont Blanc:


A gentleman, with his bride and lady
friend, made the ascension to the Grands
Mulets, which is six thousand five hun
dred feet above the valley Of Chamounix.
The day was so fine that when there,
urged by the ladies, whom, with a guide,
he left behind him, he started TO make
the ascension of Mont Blanc. Shortly
after he left them, becoming cold, all
three went out for a walk, tied together
as they always are, for greater security
in the mountain excursions. Walking
upon the ice and snow crust the guide
offered his arm to the wife, who had
hardly accepted it when, owing either to
the softening of the crust by the heat, or
cracking from the weight or the forma-
ton of erevasse, both the guide
and wife disappeared, the friend
only escaping their fate by the
breaking of the rope. Disappearing thus
instantly in place which did not seem
dangerous they have never been seen nor
found, though eight of the guides, at the
risk of their lives, went down into the
crevasse sixty feet--in fact, made at
tempts until the Government forbade any
more-as the lives of others were perilled
for those that had been lost. The lady
who was left screamed, and remained on
the spot till the gentleman returned to
find that he had lost wife and bride in
the enjoyment of full health only half
an hour previously. Such are the dan
gers of ascending Mont Blanc, where no
amount of foresight or experience can
foretell the accidents which may happen
at any time with loss of life to some or
all of those engaged. ~
Other accidents have happened-in-
deed every year one or more persons lose
their lives upon the mountain. Captain
Arkwright and four guides were lost in
1866. A bride in going across the Tete
Noire-one of the direct routes to Mar
tiny-slipped from her horse unknown
to the guide who was leading him, and
falling down a steep precipice, was
never found. An American who set
next to me at the table gave me an
account of crossing the Glacier des
Boissons, where the glacier having
changed so much since the guide had
been there necessitated leaving him con-
stantly to go ahead and discover the way
that might be the safest When he was
gone some FIVE or ten minutes at time
if anything had happened to the guide
the gentlemen must have been lost, for
he had neither tools for making or
assisting his way, nor experience.
