In some instances - a fatal isauie result* from sanguineous apo-: plexy j in otiljers, and much more frequent- ly, from shook to th* heart.jSlxampies of \' tha former in reoorded by Dr. D . Haok, Tuke, in his \ Influence of the Mind Upon the Body.\ [Thus a woman at Bradford r«- 0*ived a fright from a man throwing a stone against her window. He. had previously; 1 threatened her. She soon afterwords com- plained of numbness and rapidly became insensible. There waa right hemiplogik. She died in {seven hours, and, on poet-mor-: tern examination, a clot of blood waa found 1 in the left lateral ventricle. The cerebral \ vessels appeared to be healthy. In the well-known example of death from the heart, whioh occurred in John Hunter's own case, we haVe an illustration of the cardiac class. The organ was extensively diseased, and the left ventricle was strongly con- tracted. Qthet instances of death from emotion, in whioh the stress had evidently fallen upon the heart, and not upon the brain, are reoorded in the collection of coses of death from powerful emotion to whioh ipUMr aa to How worn the forehead tress, wmnks waa ffeaks don't grieve me now, cause no distress , la Her nks g Her woes cause no distress. ., There is no angrul&h is my soul Ah, no, I never mention Her, The girl who'll rule my Hit, Whose maiden name m alter To the deaf name of wire.

Theft is no reason to doubt that, in auoh instance, fatal syncope may arise simply from the action of tho heart being inhibited, whether by direot excitation of the vagus, a* main- tained by-Brown-Sequard, or of the accel- erators of the heart in the first instance, fol- lowed by exhaustion, and the unantagonized play of the former. Any way, If tbe heart, 1 «s In Hunter's case, oould be strongly con- tracted on Ite contents, and the blood ex- palled, one efficient cause of syncope with fatal rosults Is present. Probably this wa», the pathoi./gical explanation of this un-i fortunate girl's death, from the silly prftC- tloal Jokes played upon her.

The following,' emanating from > firm of :pn^cal-m*hufaetnrere, of Edinburgh, may be a.aseful oontributioa to the diaousaioa on the subject of poisonous oolors in wail papers: \t n a long and practical expert- enoe as color- manufacturers, we have never known areeniQ used in the, manufacture of any oolor suitable for wall papers except emerald green. This bright and beautiful color has neVer been equaled by any non. areenioal green •, but it is expensive, and oi very poor covering properties. For greens, blacks, blues, browns, reds, yellows, <jbo., either dry or in oil, the oolor maker has no need to use arsenic, and we cannot oonoefv* what object would be served by his doing so, and certainly he would not do so in reducing a color to a tint with white. Year* ago, a yellow was used called \ King's\ or \ canary'' yellow, containing arsenio; but it is long out of date; and waa only used bj ooaoh painters. The whole matter resti upon the medium by which tho tint or ooloi ia'fixed to the paper or wall, and the volatility ot any component part. Bvoo •emerald green is perfectly harmless if pro perly seourad.by oil or varnish; but wher. ased in, oheap and showy papers where (here is little or no fixed material, we can understand there is danger if exposed to undue heat. In better-olasa,, papers it U seldom used.

AH lawyera opnoede, however, that an Amerioau mechanic or small man of business makes the best juryman to get at the teal merits of a eaae and retort a true verdict. 8?mo lawyers hold that a German will convict a prisoner on Insufficient testimony becnuao of his high regard for law, and that an Irish- man will show sympathy and'help a pooi alevil out of difficulty by nadia* him not guilty whenever it U poaalble. Borne say that old men are more likely to find a pris- oner guilty than young men ore. A low- down juryman, who never had a ohanoe to *»roi*e any aufcoriiy to speak of inhtaowu or other people'a affairs, will vote to oonvict every prisoner who oomes in hia way, simply *o revenge himself on the human race that hM kept hid* under *>loog.

Mount Adams, in Washington Territory, was recently ascended by a large party. They reached an elevation of 19,660 feet. The crater was penetrated a distaaoe of 100 reet.
