There are a great many miserics connect- ed with marria e, and a great many evils re- sulting from i l-assorte ones. But things would be a great deal worse if there Were no marriages at all, and men and women had got down to the level of the wild beasts of the field. When a man takes the manners and customs of the coast of Guinea or any such place as his models for the regulation of things in all communities, he is in a bad way.

But theic’s the rub. In the first place, the great majority of Irish and other people never urchase an thing but what they need, and oes any iiot su pose that an Irishman won’t buy the Eng ish article if it is cheap- est!

The Queen’s knee is improving, and every one will wish she may reign yet ether twen. ty years at least. She comes of a long-lived race, and her life has been such as to give her constitution the very best chance for standing out to the extreme verge of four score and above it. 80 may it, only it is well to bear in mind that she has already reigned 40 years, and that amid all its s lendonrs, the wear and tear, and worry 0 her position, have been, and are,anythinq but small.

In some cases the paterfamilias and other male im- becilities scarcel know when cleaning is oing forward. t is all managed so quiet- y, and is taken so much in relays, never introducing conlusion into one place before order has been restored in another. That’s the plan. Try it all, and you'll see how the men folks like it. What a piece of idiotic nonsense is all this talk about teachers being insulted by the clause in Mr. Charlton’s late seduction bill ! No man of sense would have said any thing about it. Everybody knows that teachers have more frequent opportunities for that sort of villany than others. and that was the only reason, very likely, that any spe- cialty was either made or thought of. Germany is determined to have nothing to do with the Pork of the United States, and the Eagleâ€"poor birdâ€"professes to be- come indi nsnt at that and threatens retalia- tion. \Vel then, go at it, but if the Pork aforesaid is thought to be unwholesome why should any body wish to cram it down the unwilling throats of the Fatherland? Of late some people have been saying that the Suez Canal has been no particular benefit to Englandâ€"rather the reverse. That story won't hold, and won’t go for much, though it is said that much of the trade between India and the Mediterranean ports which used to come by England and then round the Cape, now goes -direct through the canal. Instead of its being a gooduthingmfor Enpland, that the canal It‘seems the Queen’s John Brown kept a diary which some folks would like to see ublished, but which, it is hinted, is too onest and out-spoken to see the light of day. The likelihoods are that such a diary does not exist and never did out of the im- aginations of the quidnunes. If, on the contrary, John did employ his leisure mo- ments in such a pastime, he was for too dis- creet a man to allow it to fall into the hands of any who would rush it into print. John Brown is dead. and nothing more need he said. The Queen mourns for him as a friend. By all means let her. It is nobody’s business to interfere. good thing for England, that the canal should be filled up, as some wise-acres sug- gest, it will be seen that there is a propoml to have a second one, which is more like the thing.

It has lately been proved that under cer- tain conditions yeast may be a powerful poison. If introduced in suspension into the circulation of living animals to the extent of more than two grammes, it always pro- duces fatal results; in smaller doses it in. duces coma. This is due to the fact that it multiplies in the blood, depriving the red corpuscles of their oxygen and reducing their color to a dark brown. From most of the s00called lager beer now publicly sold in this country plenty of yeast germs can be got for experiment. as its manufacturers do not give it; sufficient time to properly ferment and c ear. If the Malagasy Ambassadors manage to make a treaty with Germany it will be a good thing, though that will make the like- ihood of a collision with France and the Empire only the greater. Well, when both sides are not averse to a fight, and not par- ticular to the kind of a quarrel they go up- on, they wont find it diflimlt to find what they want. Pity to see two great nations go by the ears with each Other, but since they are bound to do it at any rate, they may just as well give the poor Malagasy the benefit of their quarrel by taking sides for and against that ill-used land. It France will play the bully in those regions she must take the consequences, if she get more than she calculated on. The Princess Louise, it appears, is in good health and as active as a cricket trying to make it fashionable to visit the widows and fatherless, the sick and the destitute in their affliction. The Capital gets a hard name in these matters, and the most of the people are more set upon the masked and lancy balls than charity, sweet charity! But perhaps the Princess may be a good teacher, and if so, it will be a great mercy to more, considerably, than the poor, as that word is usually understood. There ereworse things than getting fashionables to play at sisters of mercy, even though in a purely aesthetic fashion. All success to the Prin- cess, and my she have many follOwers and imitators. The Factory Bill lately introduced into Parliament seems to meet with general ac- ceptance even among the manufacturers. Some of the objections taken to it appear rather well founded. An Inspector may be rather arbitrary. and there might be cases in which an appeal from his decisions might be allowed, though that would need to be very carefully hedged round, else the poor ins tor might be badgered or brought in- to oing very much as the manufacturers might wish. Thata Factory Act is very much needed is plain to anyone who knows anything of the facts. We hope that when it is being discussed and got under way that it will be decidedly a good and comprehensive measure in the end. Toronto is getting to be quite aesthetic and a great patron of the fine arts. A good many lately added to their collection, most of whom are evidently determined to culti- vate the :esthetic in a way and to an extent for which they have hitherto never got credit. Better by far, for them to play the patrons to native talent than to make them- selves ridiculous by hunting after the “ old masters.” as too many both in the old world and the new have done, and are still doing. They very likely know what are good paint- ings and what are not just as well as a great many who make more fuss about the thing and talk more the small commonplaces of connoiseurship than they can ventule on, at least as yet, but it is all much of a muchness. A correspondence regarding tight lacing and the use of corsets has been started in the ladies' column of the .llail,which is likc~ ly to continue for some little time. So far, the correspondents on the affirmative side are all ladies, while the negative side is championed by gentlemen. and so far, it must be admitted. the “Nays” have it. \Ve would be glad to see some shrewd, common-sense old lady give her opinion in the matter. The butterflies of fashion and frivolous society, whose heads are as empty as their waists are uaspish, and who believe that men delight in hourglasses as compano ions, are not exactly the most competent to give an opinion on a subject which so close- ly concerns the health and well-being of our growing girls. The oung bank clerks who are rather “ tony ' have good reasons for compluining about being taken notice of in the papem. So long as they pay their weekly bo.u d hills and washers’ scone, they have n riqht to walk the world unchallenged hy the whole universe. By the way, it may he noted that two young idiots of law students who had been imbbehaving i‘l theirlodgftgs, breaking furniture, and so forth, and who had got notice to quit, were not susislied with a week’s warning. but showed their landlady their law books to prove that they could stay a month. The delta and dunder- heads ! Do they not know that every wo- man’s house is her castle, and that they and their goods can he kicked to the door, with the option, if they like, to try it as a case of wrongful ejectment? Some young idiots never know when they are well oil. That poor Czar is really to he pitied. It is said the Nihilists mean mischief, and the way the Russian authorities are acting would seem to indicate that they believe some- thing serious is in the wind. It is a pity for the poor fellow and still more for his wife, but there is no help for it unless he shows the white feather and ahdieates, and that would scarcely do. Fur hotter, let him say with Cromwell, “I did not seek this place, (lod knows I did not seek it, and that I should have preferred to take care of sheep at the back of a hedge. llut now that l am in it, sooner than give it up, I should con- sent to he rolled in my bloody grave ond buried with infamy.” Yes, young nun, that is the only course open to you with honor and manhood. So on with it, with n have heart, and say with the North Country Farmer, “(lin I mun die, 1 mun die.‘ It is simply frightful to think of what a great number of people suffer from cantan- kerous and ill-conditioned neighbors. Just let anybody watch the reports of the police court and they will soon see. And better still. let a great number campare notes with each other and see what has been the state of things with themselves and their friends for the last thirty or forty years. Some- times the complaint is that these neighbors are cold and reserved, that they have lived next door for years without so much as ex- changing the time of day; that they keep themselves to themselves, that they are roud and so on, and so on. It is a matter or crest thankfulness when this is the case. At least ten times better this than have the familiarity or the warfare with which many are tried. Think of the easy familiaiity which leads a neighbor, to be continuall running in and out, and still more, whic leads servants to spend half their time in idle gossip over the fence. Think of the process of promiscuous and continual bor- rowing extending to all manner of articles, from a garden hoe to a on ful of porridge, or a “drawing" of tea ! ' ‘hose who know the terror and worry of such a state of friendliness will he the first to cry for per. fect non-acquaintance, or at the best for a condition 0! armed neutralit . Oh. the aw~ fulness of a neighbor who bolts in at any time, and does not hesitate to make her way either into the kitchen or the bedroom, on pretence of being "friends !" And en, what is to be said of neighbors who 0 a taste for monstrous and disagreeable pets? \Vho keep poultry in the back yard, and maintain a toutinnal cackle and cock-crow- ing under one’s window: whose dog con- tinually either hays the moon or mourns its absence; whose cat has feline concerts every lawful evening. to which the catth of the neighborth are invited, or whose pigsâ€"8L0. ! Then think of a neighbor, musical but not melodious, howling like a flogged hound at all timely and unseasonable hours, and these houses all so undeafened l It sets one's teeth an edge, and makes the heart sink down whether it likes it or not. Then the absolutely, knowingly, malicious neighbor, the drunken one, the swearing, quarreling, abusive one, the one with noisy, impudent, ill-conditioned children, the one who tnrashes his wife, or whom his better,- half chastises with her tongue. Be thank- ful for a passabty quiet neighborhood, even lor neighbors who. after many, years are “ strangers yet." It is a great mistake to fancy that anyone in his seal for religion objects to scientific investigationof facts. Very much the re- verse. It is not the investigation of facts or their discovery that is ever found fault with, but the imperfect and illogical conclu- sions sought to be drawn from these facts. For instance, nobody could say anything against the most thorough investigation of all the phenomena in connection with the composition and varied conditions of water, the temperature at which it freezes, the fact that at the moment of freezing it expands, die. But what is objected to is the laying it downa universal and irrefragable principle that such laws not only are everywhere pre. valent throughout the universe, but that it is not possible to suppose them changed or different for any or every reason. This, of course, cuts at the very root of the miracles of the Gospel. And this, it is urged, is at once unphilosophical and illogical. There is, it is urged, nothing antecedently absurd in supposing it all different, and it comes- to be amere question of evidence whether such difference has actually ever taken place. There is nothing, it is urged, unreason- able in water freezing at 40° fah., instead of 32° . It fact, there is no reason why it should do the one and not the other, except that such is the fact. “'hether there ever has been a case in which this difference in freezing or in anything has taken place, whether in turning water into wine or in multiplying the feeding power of a. few loaves, has to be determined not by argu- ment on its antecedent impossibility or the reverse, but simply on evidence for or against the feet. A law of nature is simply nothing but an observed mode of action. The very opposite would been quite as much a law of nature, and in itself quite as reasonable. There can be no doubt about the fact that an even ordinary acquaintance with the laws of health and an improved system of sanitary arrangements, together with in- dividuals regulating their whole domestic arrangement, and personal habits on true hygienic princi les,will do more to improve the health of t no country and diminish the death~rate than any quantity of doctors' drugs and pretenders’ nostrums. This is what all the wisest and best doctors are now preaching, and this is what they are coming more and more topractise. They are impressing upon the people the necessi- tv there is for plain food, cleanly habits. well ventilated, and properly constructed houses, thorough drainage, with few drugs, and these of the simplest kind. In doing all this they are showing themselves to be wise, judicrous men and genuine benefac- tors. .\lorc people have very likely been killed than have been cured by regular me- dieal practitioners in the past. There is hope that this is not going to be the case in the future. Let them proclaim war against the brandy and whiskey bottles, bad cook- ery, stully, ilchntilated houses, had drain- age, filthy surroundings. 3.. and let them train the people to follow their enlightened suggestions, and we will ever follow them with our due quota oi applause.

Alluding to a recent case of death of an old gentleman. caused by a morning cold bath, the Medical Bress_and_ Circuqu says: “The great mistake that is usually com- mitted in regard to it is the error of never raising the temperature of the water from that of the surrounding air. In very cold weather the bath, even when exposed over night in the bedroom, will often be lower than 45 degrees, and where water is brought straight frcm the main or well it may be even 10 or 15 degrees lower. Only the strongest constitutions can derive benefit from the shock produced by application of a liquid 60 to 70 degrees colder than the body to its surface, and it is very question- able if it is ever attended with permanently good results. Reaction may be afterward complete; but there is always the risk of sudden danger from the condition of the body being temporarily such as to prevent immediate reaction. In such cases very serious accidents are possible, and this last instance of death may perhaps be regarded as 'an example in point. A temperature of from 40 to 50 degrees is quite cold enough for any person to submit himself to. This allows for a difference of between 40 and 50 degrees in the heat of the body and that of the bathâ€"amply sullicieut to produce all the benefits desirable from itâ€"-and it would be well for all if these extremes were never exceeded.” Don't be Aflald of Work.

GIKS Ol‘ THOUGHT. 004-»..- A case of suspended animation, which in many respect: is one of the most remark- able known to science. has occurred in this city (en s the Louisrillc Courier Journal) within t ie past ten duys. A young lady. Miss Annie â€". whose full name. at the request of her parents. is withheld. went intoa trance on the 15th inst.. and did not regain consciousness until last Sunday at 7 o'clock p, m.â€"â€"a Week afterward. At that time ahe awoke. and. recognizing the ring- ing of the bells of neighboring church, re- marked that it was Sunday, and since then shghns been gradually improving. _ _ _ The particulars of the case are highly in- teresting. Miss Annie is an attractive young lady about 20 years old, residing on Lower Madison street, and, with the exception of asevere attack of St. Vitus’ dance about two or three years since. has always been ordinaiily healthy. About two weeks ago, however, she began to complain of neural- gic troubles, accompaniued by cerebral and spinal irritation. She was quite unwell nn- till the followin Sunday, when, about 7 o'clock p.m., sie subsided into a trance from which she has not yet recovered. There was, however, nothing alarming about her condition, and to all appearance she was simply in a deep slumber. Her breath- ing, temperature, and pulsation maintain- ed their normal condition, and at times. without appearing at all conscious, she was induced totake nourishment. Her family were. of course, very much alarmed at her reternatural situation, and summoned Dr. H. Porter, who endeavnred to arouse her, but without success. Ordinary stimulants failing, he resorted to the use of an electric battery, but met with no better success. For several days longer she remained in this somnambulistic state, and awoke to consciousness for the first time on Sunday. Even then, however. she did not recog- nise any one, and, without regaining the use of her facultiel, she relapse again into her seeming slumber, her eyes being closed and her breathing regular and peaceful. The following day she rallied A little, and be- came actually sensitive to noise: and touch, and recognized the family, but was unable foggy more than.“ ye‘g ” 05‘“ no." I. In'company with Dr. Porter a Courier- Journalist paid a visit to his interesting pa- tient. Throughout the day she had mani- fested consciousness to a limited extent, shrinking from noise or contact, and evinc- ing a morbid dread even of the pillows on her bed. At the time of the visit she was lyin in an apparently pleasant slumber, her has turned to one side, her eyes closed, and a half smile just parting her lips. “’hen thephysician spoke she roused up a little, and, by slow degrees, for the first time re. aiued the full possession of her faculties. pon his inquiryas to whether she felt any pain, she nodded her head, and after a lit- tle coaxing said it was in her forehead. Af- ter saying this, she relapsed into insensibili. ty, but was easily amused again, and an- swered a few questions with some efi’ort, but intelligibly. The mental processes evi- dently cost her considerable effort, but she unquestionably was fully conscious. The presence of a stranger excited her curiosity, and she was manifestly puzzled over his identity. Her condition was extremely fa- vorable, and she will most likely be fully recovered by the end_of the geek. In the opinion of Dr. Porter, who has made nervous diseases a specialty, the case is amost remarkable and interesting one. The majority of trances result from some injury, generally of the head, but this can not be traced. to any such cause. In the course of a short conversation on this class of disease, he remarked that he had met with two other queer cases, though none so interesting. One was a boy who tormer- 1y resided on Ninth street near Broadway, who was subject to occasional trances, last- ing for three days and nights at atime. During these he was entirely unconcious, and when he recovered he had not the slight- est recollectiou of what had occurred. He recovered permanently, and for two years has not had an attack of his old malady. The other case was more remarkable. being one of complete double consciousness in; a young lady. When in one of her trasces she was able at times to go about her usual household duties, and even converse intelli- gibly. but was unable toremember anything that had occurred when in her normal con- dition. More singular still, when in another trance she recalled what had happened in the previous ones, though still ignorant of what transpired at other times. Under a treatment of tonibs and stimulants she was also restored to perfect health. Many who are troubled with weak eyes, by avoiding the use of them in reading, sewing and the like. until after breakfast, will be able to use them with greater com- fort for the remainder of the day, the reason being, that in the digestion of the food the blood is called in from all [lmrta of the body, toaccrtain extent, to ah the stomach In that important process. Besides, the food eaten gives general strength, imparts a. stimulus to the whole man, and the eyes partake of their share. . Eyes that are weak and watery are often strengthened and made to feel comfortable by dipping the finger in brandy or whisky or bay rum, and applying it to the closed lids.
