At the meeeting of the Medico‘Legal Soci- ety. Dr. \Vooster Beach read last night a paper on “ Inspec ion of Dead.” The signs. or indications of death. he said, are (3t s =a.tion of the respiration. arrest of the heart‘s action. loss of animal heat. rigor mortis, and putrer faction. Of these, cessation of the respira- tion is looked upon by many as the surest in- dication. Sir Benjamin Brodie says it may be regarded as the decisive test of the extinc~ tion of life; and Taylor says “ the visible es- sation of breathing for a period of five minutes furnishes certain proof that the per- son is really dead.” The latter also says in regard to another sign: It is impossible to admit that the heart can remain for even half an hour in a state of inaction. And then spontaneously regain its activity." Yet there are many cases that give the flat denial to these avermeuts. Many tests to prove real death have been proposed, and to most of these are strong objections. The tests upon which most dependence can be placed are auscultation, galvanism. and the examination by the ophthalmoscnpe. These can be used only by skilled persons, and it consequently follows that there is possibility of a person‘s bring buried alive. In 1837 a prize of 1.500 francs was offered by Prof. Monni of the University of Rome for the best essay on apparent death. Afer- ward the Marqus d’Ouche left‘ 20,000 francs to be given for the best means that could be applied by cammun people to detect death; 5.000 for the best method to detect real death. In Germany this important subject has received much attention ; in England but little. In this country there are no statu- tury laws guveruiny this matter, except such as allow the B wards of Health in cities tm-euu- late the huriuls within the limits of their jnrimlictiou. None of their rules lay dawn the- time that dead hodirs must he kept above gI‘UUIHLBIHl the only verification of death re- quired by them is the ordinary burial certifi‘ cafe.

PREJIA'I‘UKE BUBIA I48. While Ethelberta De Vere was sitting at the bay window reading the latest novel last week, a bronzed thick set man entered the gateway, walked up to the window and tapped gently on the pane. He was very undomeutic in appearance ; he had on a. coat which had faded to an original color, his shoes stayed on his feet by accident, and his hat, which was several sizes to small for him. he kept in place by means of a piece of hay rope, which was tied in a hard knot under his chin. As the lady looked up from her book he waved his hand in melo dramatic style, and said : " I just wish to have a few words with you. I am an extensive traveler ; yes, verily. I have been over every square inch of this glorious country on foot I have smoked cigarettes at. the Golden Gate ; I have seen the buffalo skip fandangos on the boundless prairie ; I have written my name on the sands of the majestic Mississippi: I am a peripatetic gazateer. and I should be greatly obliged to you if you will furnish ms with a pair of superanuated moccasins. a. pair that you contemplate depositing in the ash-barrel ‘ shortly): . .. ‘ n- n ,,,,1 “ have none to-day,” she replied, and went on reading. “ I see." he continued. “ you have some rare exotics.

(From the London Times.) In the Probate, Divorce, and Admirality Division, before the President and a special jury, the case of Norton against Norton and G1 um]er was tried on Feb. 26. AN INTERESTING DIVORCE IUIT‘ The Untorlnnme 'l‘ermluntiou of an Al!- glo-American Marriage. In this case COLCharlea Grantley Campbs 11 Norton prayed for a diss-rlution of marriage with his wife Katharine Norton, by reason 0f her adultery with the covrespondent. Lord Grammy against whom he claimed damages. The respondent and coâ€"respoudtnt filed an- swers in denial of the charges made against them. but the suit was in fact undefended, and the. claim {91' damage was not pressed. The petitioner, who is a colonel in the Otto- man Gendarmerie and a. retired major in the British army. married the respondent. the daughter of a Mr. M’Vlcar, an American gentleman of good fortune and position. at Calvary church, New York. on the 22nd of June. 1870. They lived together for some time at New Ymk and then at Montreal, and on their arrival in England they took up their residence at St. John’s Wood Mrs. Norton. who was well received by her husband’s rela- tives and friendsnva of delicate constitution. and in 1873 she went to SwitZerland. and thence to Buris for medical advice. In the following year she accompanined her father to New York. and there gave birth to a. son, who died in infancy. During their separ- ation. whichpwing to the petitioner's circum stances, was more protracted than was origin- ally intended. an afiectionate correspondence wax; kept up between him and the respondent. and on his appointment. in Aug.. 1877. as a colonel in the Turkish Gendarmerie, it was arranged that she should return to Europe and rejoin him atccnstantinople. In March 1878 Mrs. Norton arrived in England. she left for Turkey in May, and reached Constan- tinople on the 28th of June. The petitioner had heard that Lord Grantley who is his first cousin, was also on his way to the East in the same ship as that in which Mrs. Norton had taken passage, but he was not aware that Lord Grantley had been her escort from London to Paris. and thence to Marseillesmhere they embarked for Constan- tinople. A scene occurred between him and the respondent on meeting. The day after her arrival he had to visit an encampment some mils-s distant from Constantinople. He reached his home about 2 o‘clock on the folâ€" lowing morning. and was received by the re- spondent in a state of such confusion that his suspicions became seriously aroused. He at once charged her with having admitted Lord Grantley, who was at the time his guest, into her romri,and after a pause the confessed her guilt adding. “I was a virtuous wife a month ngo.” On the following day she left with Lord Grantley for Smyrna. She afterwards nasumed his name, and on their return to London. in September. they took appurt- ments at the Langham Hotel. and passed as husband and wife. The chame alleng in the petition. in sup- port of which 001. Norton was called as a. witness. was fully established. A verdict was found in favor of the petitioner, and the court pronounced a decree m'si, with costs. Of Mr. Arthur O’Shaugnessy, one of the younger British poets. and the ~sou-in-law of Dr. Westland Marston. an amusing story is told. Mr. O’Shuughnessy was a. protege of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who assisted in getting the poet appointed to a. position in the Natural History Departmentofthe British Museum. One day the unfortunate O‘Shnugh- nessey accidentally sat down on a number of very rare South American butterflies which had just arrived at the Museum. Horrified, he proceeded secretly rind hurriedly to repair damages. but being in truth rather ignorant about butterflies and natural history general ly, he got the pretty insects Very much mixed up. gluing wrong wings on wrong Lodieu in the moat reckless manner. Great was the astonishment of the wi<e men when they came to contemplate and cldssify the ne v conirihution. Such spccies were never seen lJl'ffil‘t' ; the insect world and its history were revolutionized. And many “are the discus niche that occurred before Mr. O'Shauuh- neémy’n awful misdeed and skilful gluing wen: chthl'ed. Tmn there was a very mud enlhcmouof scientists. and the 301mg man would have been dismissed had not Bulwer used his influence. Warned by his blunder. Mr. O‘Shaughnessy undertook the study of natural history, and there is now no one in the Museum better skilled in that department. IIIDH’ [IE FflXED 'I‘IIE INSECTQ. A ROM ‘IL‘ BEG-GAIL London Lancet. The remarkable ihSlfllicus now and then seen, in which persons without hereditary tendency to plithisis become phtllisical after long-continued attendance on sulfurcrs from the disease. have suggested to many physi- cians the idea that phthisis is contagious. If there is such a contagion. the mechanism has been supposed to be the inhalation with the breath of fine particles of tuberculous sputa, atomized into the air by the patient’e cough. An attempt has been made by Dr. Tappeiner. of Men-n. to ascertain whether. by a similar means. animals could be rendered tubercular, and the results of the experiments. which are published in the current number of Virchow’é: Archie. are of great interest. The animals experimented on were made to breathe for several hours daily in a chamber, in the air of which fine particles of plithisis sputum were sus- pended. The sputum having been mixed with water. the mixture was atomized by a steam atomizer. In all cases the sputs were“ from persons with cavities in their lungs. Dogs alone Were employed in the experi- ments. Since they Very rarely suffer from spontaneous tuhermlods. The result was that of eleven swim: :I experimented on, with one doubtful excepli 1: after a period varying from twentyfive to m y-five days, all being killed presented “ell-developed miliery tubercles in both lungs, and, in most of the cases, tubercles were present to a smaller extent in the kidneys, and. in some cases, also in the liver and spleen.

He argues that fermentation is a process of nature, which will continue to exist as long as there is sugar and starch. “That is the work of Omnipoteuce," he says, “not the Work of man. It grows out of the very constitution of things ; and is as truly a. divine process as is growth itself." He holds that the Bible does not disoountenance the use of fermented liquor. As to the effect on health. he says: “it is not this vinous fer- mentation that does the harm ; it is not with that we have to do battle. A man can get foolish on it I admit ; but he is not likely to get very drunk. We have never had a. single case of an inehriste in the asylum at Bing- hampton who came there from using only vinous fermentatiuns. He may have begun With them. and gone on to other and stronger liquors: but the mere Vinous fermentations did not make an inebriste of him. And while men use simply the nutivu wine”, the natural product of the Vine. With no more alcohol than comes from its fermentation. drunken- ness is but little known." Dr. Parker’s .con- dwmnation of distilled liquors is unequivocal. The process of distillation is artificial. “Fer- mented liquor is the work of God; distilled liquor is the work of man or the devil, 'or both.” â€"â€"It is asserted that there are 90,000 men in Kentucky who are unable to readunu write, and than thirty-flint counties in the State support the schools of the remaining seventy 31x. -â€"The London Times criticises the extraor- dinary incapncity of parents to dismm the kind of instruction bent fitteil to the mental unpitudes of their children. They commit their children to :1 famous school as the catnch lays hei' eggs in the sand, and imagine that their respoxibi'oilty ends. That this school might be the only rightful school for their sons, and that schnul the most likely to elicit their worst tendencies. is a‘ possibility which novel crosses their fancy. -â€"Superintvn<lent Eliot, of Boston, in his recently puhlishud sumi-unnual report. con- siders the frequent or habitual use of corporal punishment in the schools a. confession of some degree of intellectual or moral weakness in the teacher himself, and that this belief is home out. by the fact that the best discipline and the highest development of the powers of the pupils are found in those schools where corporal punishment is unknown. Dr. Eliot urges that no teacher should be alIoWed to punish a pupil during the same session in which the offence was committed, and that he should be required to repivrt not only the reason for the use of the rod, but the reason for choosing thin punishment in preference to any other. and also the (fleet of the punish- ment upon the pupil's conduct and behavwr. A prominent horse dealer of Montreal tells the following curious story about the fancy his rats (as he calls them) have for u change of die: :-â€"He keeps a horse and noticed lately that it showed symptoms of lameness in hii fore legs. He examined him carefully. but could not dihOOVE'I‘ the same. On going to the stable one day he, before entering, looked in through the window, then to his astonish- ment he counted eleven rats stuck on the horse’s legs sue-king his blood. He waited expectine every moment that the. horsa would shake them off, but instead of doing this he remained motionli so and SH med to ( njoy the strange visitors. Amp on the window Bl‘lzt the rats lacurrying,y ofi. On examination of the horse‘s legs he found 22 little holes from eleven of which the blood was flcming. The horse was removed to another stable and soon recovered from the sores, but strange to say his appetite has almmt failed him; he refuses oats, and its a consequence hm fallen off in limb, so much so that now he is almost useless. A peculiar and very sad case of kleptomania is reported from Rochester in the person of a Baptist minister who has preached for thirty years. Last January he took from a show- window :1 china vase valued at about 810. The vase was one of a pair. And last Friday he entered the store and took the other. He went away nnmoiestl-d, but at the depot he was met by two oflicexs, who asked him what he had in his vuliee. At this question he was so much overcome that he came near fainting, and a chair was brought to support him. At first he denied that he had taken the vase, and said he haul bought it of a mun on the street. 0n the way to the police sta- tion he continued to protest his innocence, but when he arrived there he confessed that he had taken both vases, but said he could not help doing so. He was terribly fright- ened, and begged for help. It is said he has been ill for some time. and is now under 9. physician’s care. This circumstance is cited in explanation of his strange conduct, as he has long been known as a man of upright and correct life. A MIR TEI‘IAI.

NOTES. A (3000 ISA“ F'l'0l‘Y. The English Mon-men! for Greek Myles 0! Dream (or “’omrn. B a Every few years some enthusiastic woman comes forward with a plan for changing: the dress of her sex and incidentally rei‘orming innumerable abuses of the laws of health and good taste. Amelia Bloomer was the last person who made any converts to a change in outer clothing. and all her disciples have long ago died or lost faith in her. and the costume of which she was the advociite can only be found in some “water cores" and a. few gymnasiums. and possibly at Vineland, N. J. ‘l‘lien came the American dress-reform move- ment and a general change in the style of underclothing. not only in the United States, but in England, France. and even Germany. l'l‘hiekiy-gathered garments, with ' straight scams. were replaced by others gored and ‘ shaped to the figure ; two garments were made into one and ail were arranged so that the whole weight of the dress hung from the shoulders, and for a time Women seemed contented. The pretty Princess dress or modifications of it. which did justice to a good figure when Worn with this undercloth- ing, was so gram ful that one could hardly believe it a modification of the comparatively ugly "empress" of a dozen years ago. and was so Comfortable that everybody was loath to forego it when fashion threatened to sub- stitute the sacque or Louis XVI panniers for it. SeveralEuglish ladies of taste.determined either to keep their Princess dress or some- thing very like it. and not to be transformed into the likeness of Marie Antoinette’s maids of honor. are strenuously urging the adoption of the ancient Greek dress. With very slight modifications. This costume cons its of two pieces, the chiton and himadun. or shawl as it is usually called by its advocates. The former is a gown, which may be either high or low' necked. short or long sleeved, but which should be scanty and sin uld have as few seams as possible. It may be of cotton, linen. Silk or woolen, but should not be stifl, and it may be just long enough to touch the ground or may have a train. Its color may be white. sufiron,blue, gray. purple or olive green. and it may be striped, figured or even ohec‘ cred. The shan may be of the same or of duh-rent material to the chiton. ‘ and is simply a seamless piece of cloth about two yards square. or according to the rules laid down by some ladies, two yards by four. The Gretks threw this garment over the left shoulder, brought it around under the right arm, and then threw it over the left shoulder again. adjusting the folds with as much grace as possible. The English ladies draw two of the corners over the shoulders. leaving a long loop to fall below the “aist at the back, and drawing the edges together at. the front, pro- ducing an (fleet not unlike that of an over- skirt opening slantwise down the centre. This arrangement leaves all the limbs free. - and is pvrfecilyeasy and graceful; but it takes both tune and taste. and some ladies prefer to fasten the shawl in its place by loops passing (Ne-1‘ button:- on the chiton and its girdle, so that it requires but a few moments ‘ to draw its folds into place. ‘ 1105.»; rm’ims auvuuix Uh mm‘u The trimmmg of the chiton and shawl may be of infinite varitty, from alpaca. braid to Oxiemul embxoidcry ; it may be wrought into patterns of comphcnted nchness or laid on in straight hands. The proper place for itis around the borders of the shawl, the lower edge of the cliitnn. the wrists of the sleeves, around the neck, and pOSSAbly down either side of the opening in front. The shawl may be edged with fringe and may huVe tasser at the corners to hold it in place, according to the ancient Greek custom. or may he left as it comes from the loom. There is no luck of chances to uispluy handsome Jewlei-y with this dress. The shawl is clasped on the shoulder by ornaments that may be large or small. as one pleasm ; the girdle may flash with diamonds and rubEes may glow at throat or wrist. or even clusp the gown from throat to hem and the sleeves from ‘ wrist to shoulder. if one please. w1thout of- ‘fendiug against‘clussic taste, so that the love ‘ of ustmtution can be gratified as easily while wearing this simple the as as when arrayed in the regulation " suit of four pieces." Several persons who have objected to the coetume ask why the princess may not be SllbntlllltEd for the chimn, and the answer to this inquiry is that the latLer is more simple to make and easy to fold, and therefore to be preferred to the princess, although it does not fit quiLe so smoothly. Tlle shawl neels no recommendutlon to any one who has once seen it. and few who hzwe do not hope for its introduction. The most beautiful woman cannot \war it in public without attracting diragnenble ohmrvntion until it. is put within the reach of nil, and its general adoption will not. detract from the peculiar grace of those who display must taste in its adjustment. However, in: appearance on our shores in Hill 9. dream of the future. and for the present Amelican Women will follow French and not Athenian fashions. When the Danish missionaries had secured the unnfinloncu Hi the Greenlauders, marriage was me. le a religious ceremony. Formerly the man married the woman as the Romans did the Sabine women, by force. One of the missionaries. writing in his journal, de- scribes the present style of courtship as fol- lows :â€" ‘ ” Whom ?" asks the miSsionary. The man names the woman. - “ Hast thou spoken to her ?" Sometimes the man will answer. “Yes ; she is not unwilling, but thou knovwstwoman- kind. More frequently the answer is “No.” “ Why nut. ‘2" The suitor, coming to the missionary, said, “I should like to have a wife.” “ It is; difficult; girls are prudish. Thou maith speak rtu her.” The lluissionary summons the girl, and, after a lLttIe conversation, says 2â€"â€" “ I think it time to have thee married.” “ I won‘t. marry." “ What a pity ! I had a suitor for thee.” “ \Vhom 1’" The missionary names the man who has sought. hrs aid. "‘He is good for nothing. I won’t hue him.” “ But,” rep‘des the missionary. “he is a good provider; he throws his harpoou with sin”. and he loves thee.“ “ Well, I won't force thee. I shall soon find a wife for such a clevvr feiluw." Though listening to bus praise with evident pleasure, the girl answers, "I Won’t have him " The. missionary remains silent, as though he uudtrshoud her "no" to h-we ended the matier. As Ins-t with a sigh she Whispers: “Just as thou wilt have it. luisflmmry." “ No.” replies the clergyman, “as than wilt; I’ll not persuade thee." â€"A sad chapter in the calamities of authm-s is recalled by a, recent. book sale in Dublin~that of the Cookeborough collection.
