THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
WHAT 1)11. WtOSVNSKljUARII SAYS AtlOt'T
1118HF.MAKKAHLK MSCOVKKV.
Uallliuore Sun.
It was thought at first that one of
thoBc amusing French chroniclers had
been playing off a joke on Dr. Brown Sc
(piard by announcing that he had dis
covered au elixir that would prolong life,
lie has not, indeed, done that, but lie
has made public in a paper read before
the Palis Biological society and since in
u communication to the Londoii Lumrl,
the remarkable results of cerlaiu experi
ments tried upon himself, and stibse
iiiently oil three old and debilitated men
by his associate. Dr. Variot, with an
elixir compounded of the glands of yduug
dogs and guinea pigs, and injected under
the skin with a hypodermic syriuge.
The fluid obtained by bini from the pro
cess which he describe is of a dark red
dish color, and before testing it upou
himself he tried it on two old rabbitts
and on; dog. Having thus proved that
it produced no deleterious effect, he made
teu injections in his arms and legs
between the 15th of May and the 1th of
June, and begau to note the results. It
was, according to bis own account, most
surprising. Dr. ISrownSequard is
seventy years of age, and his infirmities
had so enfeebled him that he was obliged
to resort to a seat, after occupying a
standing position in bis laboratory for
half an hour, aud on his return home at
six o'clock was so exhausted that he had
at once to go to bed, where he would be
too tired to sleep. The New Vcrk
Triliime, following Dr. IlrownSoquard's
paper to the Paris Biological society and
his subsequent communication to the
London LiihivI. condenses his descrip
tion of the effect upon him of the elixir
hypodermically injected. "After apply
ing these injections," ho said, "ho was
able to stand for three or four hours in
his laboratory and to write in the evening
for au hour and a half without feeling a
sense of Weal inese. Instead of creeping
and hobbling up a Mai reuse, as had been
his habit in recent years, he could run
up and down like a boy. Disarms, test
ed by a dynamometer, regained a strength
which they had not possessed for twenty
six years. Digestiou aud other functions
were markedly improved, his facility for
intellectual labor was increased, and all
functions depending on the spinal chord
and nervous centres were notably and
rapidly strengthened." The three de
bilitated men, ranging in age from fifty
four to sixty-eight, alter being treutcd
hypoderinically with the vitalized fluid,
lu not appear to havo responded quite
so favorably to the treatment. Their
digestion, it is said, was immediately
iuiproved and their muscular powers in
creased, but another effect of tho fluid
was to cause "general nervous excite
ment." Dr. Brown-Sequard remarks on
this report that "sufficient time had not
elapsed to euable him to judge of the
permanent effects of the treatmeut of
these three patieuts." While making
due allowance for the euthusiasiu of a
discoverer who professes to have himself
experienced such salutary results from
the administration of the vitalizing fluid,
it is not likely that the medical profes
sion who listened to the paper read be
fore the Biological society "with a thrill
of astonish incut and au air of incredulity"
will permit the matter to rest here. Dr.
Rrown-Scquard states that in his own
case the effect of the application of the
fluid ceased at the end of four weeks.
After that time "there was a complete
return of the pre-existing iutiruiitics aud
weakness of old age," but he contem
plates, in his communication to the Lan-
at, recurring again to the injections in
the expectation of obtaining for the term
of another mouth the same beueficent
results he had received before. He does
not hold to his discovery further thau
this that while temporary in its effect
it affords to the scientific world a basis
for further experiments, and be sioiply
claims for it the merit of easing the bur
den of old age.

THEY CAME TO SCOFF-
HOW A NKVYLY MAKHIKI) MAINE liKAI'ON
THKATKIlC.U.ITIIIlll'IANS.
Lewi-ton (Me.) Journal. J
It was not very long ago that a Maine
man find his shotgun intoa calilhiimpian
crowd that serenaded him with dis.n
Irons results. An Oxford comity deacon
who was annoyed in a siuiiliar way re
cently hit upon a vaslly belter method
of routing the invaders of his peace.
He lust his first wile, with whom he
had lived fifty years, and in time took
another bride to solace his declining
days. Such a proceeding, although war
ranted both by Holy Writ aud human
precedent, caused considerable talk in
the neighborhood on account of the dea
con's advanced age, and some of the
young people proposed to give the couple
an old-l'ashioued serenade. Ho they gath
ered a large and noisy crowd together,
equipped themselves with a circular saw,
a chime of cow bells, and a band of
hums, and set up a frightful din in front
of the deacon's house several hours alter
the old gentleman aud his bride had re
tired. The first alarm brought the deacon to
the duur. The serenaders expected a
storm of righteous wrath to burst upon
their beads and were prepared to meet it
with a tempest of horn, saw, and cow
bell.
"Gentlemen," said a mild voice, "wont
you come in?"
A hush fell upon the crowd and they
stared in silent wonder at each other.
That couldn't be the deacon!
They drew nearer and took a better
look at the figure standing in the door
way. Yes, they could see plainly by the
candle which he held that it was Ihe dea
con. "Wife and I would be pleased to have
you all come in." he said again.
Disconcerted, but unable to resist the
invitation, they filed into the huuse.
The deacon and his wife provided
chairs, and they all sat down. Then the
good old man took the family Bible from
the shelf and read a passage of Scripture
in a clear voice. Having hntshed the
chapter he closed the good book, knelt
down, aud said fervently, "Let us pray."
The company listened respectfully to a
long prayer, to which tho deacon asked
for a special manifestation of heavenly
grace to the misguided yuulh of the
conmunity.
"Now, my dear friends," said he, "I
know that some of you have good voices.
Let's have a little music."
lie passed around hymn books, his
wife pitched the tunes, and the company
joined in. They sang several of the
Moody and Saukey favorites, and before
they knew it were having as good a time
as if they were pounding the hewgag in
the front yard.
At last, in a polite way, the deacon
bade them good night, and said be would
be very glad to see them again.
They wcut away full of respect for
the old man, wishing him a long enjoy
ment of his new found connubial bliss,
and wonderiug whether they had sere
naded the deacon or the deacon hail ser
enaded them.
THE OLDEST DEMOCRAT.
A I'KNTKNAKIAX IX INDIANA WHO HAS
.NKVKR Se'HATl HKI) HIS TH'KKT.
The oldest man in Spencer county, In
diana, and peihaps the oldest iu the
State, is now living near Chrisney. His
name is Benjamin Moore He was born
in Moore county, N. C., December, 25th,
1781. This venerable pioneer was born
iu one uf the most iutportant periods
of the Government at the moment
when it was struggling for its existence
and iu consequence is older than his gov
ernment, the same age as the eoufedira
tion of the thirteen States, and six yeurs
older that the Constitution of his country.
Ho was in his seventh year when the first
President of the I oiled Slates was inau
gurated, and has a distiuci recollection
of the older citizens meeting and talking
about the inauguration of General Wash
ington. Mr. Moore cast Ins first vote in
18111 for Thomas Jefferson, who was
elected his second term. He refers to
his first vote with pride, saying lie is to
day the only man living who voted for
Jcffoiiun, and that hr is the o!dt Mem.
oeut above the sod. He has voted the
Democratic ticket uuscratched at every
election; from 1801 to the spring of 18X0
The parlies he has Toted against nre
as follows: From 1804 to 181(1, the
Federalists; 1820, tho Opposition; 1821,
the Coalition; 1828 to 18o2, the National
Republicans; 18:50 to 18S2, the Whigs,
and against the present Republican party
since 1831!. The old gentleman says he
has watched the tariff issue since 1829,
and the majority uf the people have al
ways been on the side of Ihe Democratic
party on the tariff question. Ho says
that there is no difference between Cleve
land and Jefferson on this question.
Mr. Moore is living wilh his second
wife, to whom ho was wedded in 18119,
and both aro now making their home
with his son, who is now past seventy
eight years uf ago, but looking younger
than must men nt filly. His youngest
ion is a sprightly young man of fifty two
summers, whom the old man calls his
I
baby.
AN IRISH ANGEL OF MERCY.
1'OOlt IX KAIMKNT AND IIAUD IN FKATIKi;,
III T A WOMAN THAT 1IKAYKN I.OVKS.
From Hum l'all Mall (lamlte.
In a cabin on a sunny hillside over
looking the Bay of Dublin dwelt a middle-aged
brother aud sister. The man
was a helpless cripple, entirely dependent
upon his sister's exertion; and ou her
death a car was sjnt from the poor house
to bring him thither for thelter. The
poor wretch clung to the only home he
had ever known, and utt"rly refused to
leave it, crying thai he would die if de
plived uf his ''say air and shut up within
prison walls." His bind lamentations
had brought the priest aud sumo of the
neighbors to his side, aud one of ihe
latter, Maggie O'Flymi, felt a deep im
pulse of pity toward the unfortunate
man. She was a single woman of about
fifty five, of weather-beaten and certainly
not attractive appearance. She acted as
held on the estate of gelitlemau to whom
her services wi re invaluable.
"Ilould hard," she said to the work
house officials; it's not Maggie O'Flyuu
that '11 sec a poor craythttr taken to
the poorhouse when she can give liim a
shelter. It's a coiner aud a welcome in
me own cal.iu the unfortunate Miek
Costilloc shall have."
But here his reverence interposed and
vowed he would not allow such scaodal
in the parish us an unmarried man aud
woman sharing the same dwelling.
"Shure, Maggie, you won't go back on
your word?" implored poor Miek, in de
spair. Maggie hesitated a moment, then turn
ing to the plicst, said "If there's no other
way to save him from the 'house,' your
riverencc, I'll marry him, an' sorra a
haporth will any one be able to say agiu
it, thin."
It was in vain that his reverence
pointed out the terrible bnrdeu Maggie
was taking upou herself.
"It's for the love of God I'm inarryin'
liim an' not to plase mcsclf," was the
answer she returned; "an' sure the blessed
Virgin will niver let me want for the
bite an' the sup when she sees me sharin'
it with the craylhur that has naythur."
The mariiage took place and until his
death,-several yeurs later, the kind
hearted Maggie 0 Flynn carefully tended
and supported the cripple in her own
cabiu.
AN APPEAL ANSWERED.
SWIFT I t NISII.MKXT OF A W.ASPHF.Mul S
INVOCATION OK THE liF.ITY.
A Detroit special says : "I hope God
will paralyze the man that's got my
pipe."
That sentence has causal a supersti
tious awe on the part of Seventeenth
street residents. Several days ago Pat
rick Gallagher felt iu his coat pocket fir
his clay pipe. It was not there, and its
absence caused him to make the terrible
wish. His wife reproved him.
"Well, I dou't care," he is alleged to
hare said. "Here, with this uplifted
hand to heaven, I pray that my creator
will paralyze ihe man who has my pipe."
Before his utterances had died away
Gallagher felt a severe twitching of the
heart and complained of feeling unwell.
He was taken to his room and a doelur
hastily dispatched fur, who said that he
had received a stroke of paralysis. As
Gallagher was in Uraightend circum
stances it was deemed best to remove him
for treatment to the Home for the Aged
Pour, which was accordingly done. Dr.
Kaiser, the allendiug physician, pro
nounced the case a critical one and death
ensued in less than twelve hours. The
grief-stricken family were at a loss to
understand bis sudden death. A f.'W
days later, in looking through hiscluthcs,
removed at the lime of the paralytic
stroke, however, they were filled wilh
superstitious horror, for in one of his out
side pockets was found the missing pipe,
which had worked its way into the lin
ing. As Gallagher was i Catholic he was
buried iu Mount Elliott cemetery. Since
the occurrence it seems as though the
family were afllieted wilh trouble. The
death augel several days ago took awny
Patrick's favorite child, a married wo
uiau with six children, and several more
of the children nre ou Ihe sick list, suf
fering wilh a mysterious malady, which
is buttling the medical fialeiuily. The
whole iieighboi hood is stirred up by the
peculiar affair.
Gallagher was a robust, healthy man
of sixly-seveu, and was well kuown in
West Detroit. Tho pipe which he
thought he had lost ur was stolen was au
old black clay one, which had been in
his possession for twenty years and
thought moie of than anything else hr
had in bis possession. When he first
missed it he felt so bad over it that tears
welled in his eyes, aud he searched all
over the neighborhood, informing every
one of his misfortune and making the
threat which is suptinsed to havo been
the means of his taking off.

As we ascend the golden sles, an in
visible gmirdman swings open the front
door and wc are tishind to the right
into the reception room of the old home
stead. That is the place win-re we first
meet the welcome of Heaven. There
must be a place where ihe departtiKpir
it enters und a place in which it con
fronts the inhabitants celestial. The re
ception loom of the newly univcd Irom
this world--what seems it must have
wilnesed since the first guest utrived,
the victim of I ne first fratricide, pious
Abel. I u that room Christ lovingly
greeted all new comers. He redeemed
them and He has the right to the fust
embrace uu their arrival. What a min
ute when the ascended spirit first sees the
Lord. Better than all we cvir read
about Him or talked about Him or sang
about Him iu all the churches aud
through all our caithly lifetime, will it
be, just for one second to see him. The
luo-t rapturous idea we ever had of Him
ou sacramental days or at the height of
some great revival are a bankruptcy of
thought compared with the first flash of
His appearance in that reception room.
At that uioineut when you conf'rout each
other, Christ looking upon you and you
upon Christ, there will be an ecstatic
thrill aud surging of emotion that beggars
a description. Look I They need no
introduction. Long ago Christ chose
that repentant sinner, and that repentant
siunci chose Christ. Mightiest moment
of an immortal history the first kiss of
Heaven ! Jesus and tho soul.
But now into that reception-room pour
the glorified kinsfolk. Enough of earthly
retention to let you know them, but
without their wounds or their sicknesses
ot their troubles. See what heaven has
done for them. So radiant, so gleeful,
so Iransportiugly lovely. They call you
by name. They greet you with an
ardor proportioned to the anguish of your
purling and the length of your separa
tion. Father! Mother! There is your
child. Sisters! Brothers! Friends! I
wish you joy. For years apart, together
agaiu iu the reception-room of the old
homestead. You see they will kuow
you are coming. There are so many
immortals filling all the spaces between
here und Heaven that news like that
flies like lightning. They will be there
in an instant; though they were iu some
other world ou au erraud from God a
signal would be thrown that would fetch
them. Though you might at first feel
dazed and overawed at their supernal
splendor, nil that feeling will be gone at
at their first tumh of Heavenly salutaliou.
What scenes have been wituesscd iu the
reception room of the old homestead!
T!u re met Joseph and Jacob, finding it
a brighter room than anything they sew
in Pharaoh's palace; David and the little
child for whom he faslcd and wept; Mary
and Lazaius after the heartbreak of
Bclhany; Timothy and grandmother
Lois; Isabella Graham and her sailor son,
Allied and George Cooknian, the mys
tery of ihe sea at last made manifest;
Luther and Magdalene, the daughter he
bemoaned; John Howard aud the prison
ers whom he gospelized; and multitudes
without numbi r who, once so weary and
sad, parted on earlh but gloriously met
iu Heaven. Among all the rooms of
that house there is no one that more
enraptures my soul than that reception
room. 4

People of a speculative turn of mind
may well ask themselves what is to be
dune with so enormous a population, how
are they to be supported, and many oth
er questions that, (hough purely specu
lative now, may assume a vital impor
tance before the close of the next cen
tury. The total area of the 1'uited
States, including Alaska, in 3,580,242
Equare miles, or 2,291,354,880 acres.
This area necessarily includes the lakes,
rivers and uninhabitable mountains and
deserts, yet we find that there will be an
average of more than two and one-half
persons to each acre of our total area
when the enumerators enter upon their
duties one hundred years hence. The
exact figures are 2.504.
According to Mr. Looiuis, the ratio of
increase of population by births over
deaths, ulthotigli much less than it was
a ceutury hence, is at present 2.01 per
cent, per annum, or 20.1 each ten years.
Accepting, fur convenience, ihe ratio if
dicenuial increase as 20 ft cent, und
casting aside all accretion from immigra
tion, wo find that in ihe yar 1990 our
total population trill be more thau G10,
000,000. Whether these figures arc accepted as
reasonably trustworthy or njectcd as
gross exaggeration, the fact slill remains
that the natural and inevitable increase
of the population, not alone of our uwu
untry, but of the whole world, pru-
scuts a problem that muy Well engage
the thoughtful mind.
RED HEADS.
Red hair is a poiut, and a very strong
one at that, against a man when he at
tempts to have his life insured. This is
what the Savannah meuical examiucr for
a number of associations told a reporter:
"It sceuis Hrange to most men when I
tell this," he continued, ' but the facts at
baud iu the main offices of the insurance
companies show thai the risk is greater
upon persons whose hair is of that color
than others. They seem to be disposed
toward consumption or other lung
troubles. As a result, examiueis pay
especial alteutioii lo them. Even when
they show not the slightest trace of a
possible pulmonary complaint they often
develop ils worst form iu a comparative
ly short time. It is not an infallible rule,
of course, thai red hair means lungs pre
disposed, but it is often the case that the
insurer feels justified iu exercising un
usual precautions in refcreuce to that
class of applicants. '
