Dv Accokdimj to reports from Paris published in the Courrier des Etats JJnvi, Dr. Brown-Sequard has form nil v announced to a French scientiGc body the discovery by himself of what anneara to be an elixir of life as po tent as that which Bulwer dallied with in "Zanoni" and Margrave used in a "Strange Story." The discovery is of a medicament whicli, when admistered by hypo dermic injection, restores the aged and decrepit to youthful vigor and sets lingering convalescents upon their legs again, as so many nostrums are alleged to do but do not "We fail to grasp with clearness whether Dr. Brown-Sequard hopes to nrolone life indefinitely or not, and probably his experi ments have not yet enabled him to express a conGdent opinion on that subject But if his elixir can make the old young again there seems to be no satisfactory reason barring accident why anybodv who keep3 his hands off the electric-light wires or doesn't run a newspaper, should cease to live, At first sight the news of such a discovery seems altogether good. It will remove the cemetery factor from water-supplv problems, settle the cre mation question and exterminate the race of undertakers. But there are other aspects of the matter which are appalling. The pressure of pop ulation upon the means of subsistence is very great, though not so great as Mr. Malthus anticipated, and if the safety-valve of the death-rate is to be shut down this little world of ours is coins to be uncomfortably crowded. A more dreadful thought is that all the objectionable persons we know nm euro tn hn the first users of the new elixir." Objectionable persons, as the reader must have observed, are the very tardiest of all human beings in dying, and as a rule they obsti nately refuse to give up the ghost until it is too late for their departure tn rAliovfl or comfort anybody. Armed with Dr. Brown-Sequard's elixir they would never consent to die at all. No, life is distressingly short, and we often wish for a long lien upon it, but the price exacted even for pro longed existence, with youth and health for appurtenances, may be too high, and unless a considerable pro portion of every man's acquaintances can be enjoined against the use of the new elixir the public will not regard Dr. Brown-Sequard as a benefactor. The fearful spread of the opium! habit can be guessed when it is stated that Mrs. E. Amelia Sabin, the di vorced wife of ex-senator Dwight M Sabin, of Minnesota, is a 'confirmed slave thereto and is confined in a pri vate institution. She was a charm ing, a fascinating, a talented woman. Onium is the devil fish of modern so ciety. It may wear many alluring and nleasimr disguises. But once let it get its clutches on its victim, and it throws off its mask. It is then to be seen in all its naked deformity and horrible cruelty as it crunches all the physical, mental and moral life out of its shrieking slave and drags him down to the depths of degradation and an early death. The celebrated Kong mountains of Africa are about to follow the mount spepsia Washington, July 27. Secretary Noble has decided that the request of the Creek Indians to be paid $400, 000 from the $2,000,000 deposited to their credit in the treasury cannot be allowed without the consent of con- trrean. and the Indians have been so infnrmpil.
