Effects of Alcohol? The intoxi CATING PltOCESS, rJlY.sioj.ogi(jall,y CONSIDERED. In a Into number of the Edinburgh Review is an exhaustive and care fully written paper upon the "Phy siological infiuences of alcohol." It is calm and scientific; not emotional, but crowded with facts and informa tion. According to this article, when a spiritous drink is taken into the body it docs not simply run into the digestive cavity of (hat body, but it runs through llic: blood before it can find any escape, and it clings to (hat blood for a considerable period, flowing with iL round and round through the * circulating stream of its unceasing progress. It goes every where in each fib20, membrane and tissue, and fills and saturates each vital organ?flesh, grain, heart, liver, lung, kidney, skin and secreting ap paratus Wherever there should be blood, under the natural arrange ments of life, there is now blood mingled with the alcoholic spirit. Articles of food arc "complex bo lies; built up from simpler elements by l.li o (./fort of vegetable life." Alcohol is not such a complex sub st.'.nct', but it is a "product of the downward degradation and decay of .such a complex principle." The foods which furnish substance Co the living structure are, for the most part, com posed with the aid of nitrogen, and have therefore an a trinity with the vital far's of the human structure. "The fibrin of the blood, the niuscidai' flesh, the enri legos' and tendon^ the membranes and the r.kin. the soft nerve pulp and the brain are all so many examples ofnitrogenized mat ter," But alcohol is entirely devoid of; nitrogen in any form. In tli< exceptional cases where alcohol his been found useful as a medicine an unnatural condition of ih body exists, and physicians should deter mine when stimulnrts :u a medicine are nco< ssory. The part- ofthe body which possess the most energetic vitality, tiio brain, the nerves, and the- nervous material of the spinal cord, .ire principally composed of matter of I ho most pulpy consjstchee, so soit that it may almost bo termed melting. This nerve pulp is packed i'nlo iniuut' pliny sacks and tvjbes discernible only by microscopic aid. Through th so tin'y and almost invisible films the blood is. "filtered." The nerve pulp appropriates such futilities of the blood as nourishes life and build up the structure, and at the same time reject and throw back into the stream their own waste particles. Large quantities of water enter into the composition of this pulpy matter, and the first evil effects of alehol is to withdraw this water. For alcohol has an "uncontrollable impulse",to draw water into itself. Excessive) uscof aieobol hardens and dries up the nerve pulp in such a way as to impair if hot spoil it for its 'proper office. When excessive drinking does not produce intoxication it is because the nerve pulp has haeomc insensible as an "oiled sponge." The flushed face upon the approach of inebriation is among the earliest signs of the disturbance of these deli eale "filters" in their work, the face being among the parts of the body exceptionally supplied with blood. The "restraining" or filtering work of the pulpy substance is impaired, and hence the unnatural reception of blood into the pulp cells. ]f this unnatural process is repeated or becomes habi tual, the blotched, red swollen and pimpled face is the result of keeping the nerve, pulp saturated with alcohol, and the delicate membranes thicken ed, dried and dyed red, show through the skin. The first stages of intoxication arc shown in the want of command over the lower lip and lower limbs. The nerve pulp of the spinal cord is touch ed. The muscles feel the for por. Trembling and shuddering follow. Next the nerve pulp of the I brain comes under the evil influence, j and .the control of the judgment and the will disappear. When a man is termed "dead drunl*," the paralysis o( the higher nerve centres and of the brain is carried to ils full end. AH inlets of the senses arn closed; all con sciousness and sensation arc destroy ed, and all power of voluntary move ment is effaced. The heart?the seed of life?toils on. If an enormous quantity of alcohol is swallowed at once, as in the case of foolish wagers, the toil of tho heart, soon ceases, and the man is dead indeed. But in ordinary instances the torpor saves J'.'c, as it stops the drinker just at the p tint when further drinking woidd kill him outright. With this general view of the effects of alcohol, and the manner in which they are produccd.it is easy to understand why head che, sleepless ness, nausea, palpitation of the heart and the "trembling delirium" ac company and follow the excessive use of alcohol. A poison in the stom ach can be pumped or voided. A poison in the blood must wait, removal till the efforts of nature effect it. Bui when nature itself is abused or impair ed, its recuperative powers soon he come destroyed. Tho effects of con tinued alcoholization upon the liver, kidneys and stomach it is unnecessary to describe, as they a e well under stood. Gov. Chamberlain's Policy The One Needed. [Washington Cor.iWihnihgion (Dehj Co'i'n increiul.] Ak.no among the southern states that from their large colored vole, should be surely ropu'd can, stands South Carolina. In it the Con Itions of thp. y;emt))d<.Mis struggle seem to concentrate. As vet. the republican party stands predominant, and at the time a republican goycnW is striving ?as many a democratic governor is not--to reform, honestly and truly, whatever of abuses exist in the state. As the clamor over corruption in the south lias been made the excuse for the white league's reign of terror, so Gov. Chamberlain is laboring to puri fy his parly, to clean its skirts of all responsibility for wrongful acts, and to .-how to the country that good government can be given the south under the republican name, j hat he has att( mptcd and is still attempting this in good faith none who know him doubt, though there is a cry, it is true, that he is "selling out" Ids party and betraying the slate into democratic control, polling it, too, under the heel of that despotism which has fastened upon Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi?all re publican states, if the. ballot were not terrorized by the bullet. But this impeachment of Chamberlain's pur pose is unfair. His refusal to com mi.-sion a loses und Whippcr, the Barnard and Cnrddzo of their locality, did not discredit but honored him and the republican name. It, answered the demand of the lime. It spiked the guns of those who have been de ceiving the northern people, and who will be sadly disappointed when no longer the. ku klux can hide behind the frivolous pretense of republican inisgovernmcnt. The obvious policy and eliity is to support Chamberlain, to give him a backing in the republi can parly, to go'on ill the direction indicated by the president in a con versation a few days ago with Senator Robertson. If the administration stands by Chamberlain, if flic 'preist d-nl stttrit7s hi/ him, tha party strength in South Carolina will be encouraged to uphold him also, and lie can suc ceed, 'whether the democrats or op pose him. lie can put down the ku klux; he can maintain a rule id'law; ho can keep the republican banner flying in at least one slave state. A Sfrange Story of Baffled Lovo. The .London papers describe a cur ious coin memorativc monument that is to be witnessed i n one of the most frequented thoroughfares of the Eng. lish metropolis. An observant specta tor will notice that the first floor win dows ol a largo house at the corner of Howard street present a peculiar appearance. The shutters arc up, and they uro covered thickly with dust, while through the chinks can he seen the blinds, also thick with dust and mouldering away with age. These shutters and blinds have been in exactly the same position, untouched, lor about fifty years. During that time no human loot, it is believed, has entered that room. And the reason is this : Fifty years ago a certain nubk man was engaged to be married, the day was fixed, the weeding morning arrived, the breakfast was hud out in that spacious and handsome room, the bridegroom was ready to proceed to the church, when it was discovered that the bride was missing; a note in her handwriting was found addressed to the bridegroom, briefly informing him that she had eloped that morning with his "best man," a gay and gallant captain of dragoons. The jilted bride groom did not say much, but. lie went alone to the loom in which the wed ding breakfast was laid out, with Iiis own hands put up the shutters and drew the blinds, locked the door and took the key. He gave orders that the door should be nailed up and bar red with padlocked bar.*, and that no one should enter the room again. When the house was let it was stipu lated that the room in question should remain untouched, ami a sum of ;C2 00 per annum was paid to the tenant to compensate him for the deprivation of the use of the room. i JUST RECEVIED FROM D LANDKETll&" SON K.
