If we consider the\nchemical composition of n man of\ntho average weight of 154 pounds,\nwo will find that he is composed in\nlarge part of oxygen, whioh is in a\nstate of oxtreme compression. * In\nfoot, a man weighing 154 pounds\ncontains ninety-seven pounds of oxygen, the volume of which, ut ordinary temperature, would exceed 980\ncubic foet. The hydrogen is much\nless in quanity, there being less\nthan fifteen pounds, but which, in a\nfree state, would ocupy a volume of\n2,800 cubic feet. The three other\ngases aro nitrogen, nearly four\npounds; cMorim, about twenty-six\nounces; and Jlourine, threo and a\nquarter ounces. Of tho solids, carom stands at tho head of the metalloids, thore being forty-eight pounds.\nNext comes phosphorus, twenty-six\nounces, and sulphur, three and a\nquarter ounces; sodium, two and a\nquarter ounces; and lastly, iron, one\naud a quarter ounces. It is needless to say that the various combinations made hy these thirteen elements are almost innumerable. \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nIe Practicien.\nWar has come to bo moro a tiial\nof skill rather than of strength, and\nthe chief elicit of combatants is\nrather to dostroy. each other's works\nthan eaeh other's men. Tho tendency has therefore been to make-\nstronger defences, and more powerful weapons. Every eighth of an\ninch added to the thickness of the\niron plates of steamships has necessitated a development in tho powers\nof the guns used to destroy them;\nso that instruments of war have in\nthis way beoame exceedingly unwieldy. Of this we hare just had\ntwo proofs. One was tho collision\nof tho British ironclads Ajax and\nDevastation, both double screw, iron\nturret, armor plated ships; and the\nothor was the dismounting! by its\nown charge, of a new eight-inch gun\non its first trial on the United\nStates inan-ot'-wnr Atlanta. This\nwas the largest gun in our Navy.\nAnother item of news which reported that lightning had struch u warship and mode a hole through it,\nsuggests another danger to which\nthey are especially exposed, and a\npossible remedy to the unwieldi-\nness of presont innovations in destructive warfare-another kind of\nthunder-bolt to take the place of the\npresont \"thunder-bolts of war.\" Who\nshall say that electricity cannot be\nmade available in the arts of war as\nwoll as in thoso of peace?\u00E2\u0080\u0094 N. Y.\nWitness.\nCanning fruit iu salicylic acid,\nand especially for exhibition purposes, was recently referred to in\nthese columns by A. T. Grant,\nWorchester County, Mass. In reply to an inquiry for detailed information as to tlie process, our correspondent kindly forwarded tlio following statement: \"Use no heat.\nThe fruit should be put into the\nglass cans fresh and just ns picked,\nand for looks be shaken down as\nsolid aa possible, but not to bruise\nthe fruit, us berries shrink some,\nbut not nearly as much as when\ndono the old way by cooking. Then\nprepare a solution of salicylic acid,\nthirty-live grains, sugar eight ounces,\nwith ono quart of water, and /when\ndissolved pour ovor the fruit. After\nabout one hour a little more of tho\nsolution may be added, seeing that\nthe cans are full, then seal ns usual.\nOf course the cans cannot lie tight\nthe same ns when sealed hot, because the shrinkage while cooling\ncauses a suction so don't fear if tho\ncans leak, as they certainly will a\nlittle. Nothing can be finer than\nfruit thus put up 'for tho fair' und\nsimilar uses, For tho table we hnve\ndecided to uso pint cans so as to eat\nthe entire contents of a oan when\nfirst opened, Then one can count\non putting up strawberries, raspberries and blackberries and find them\ngood, but blueberries aro not as\ngood as shavings. Corn, beans and\npeas aro put up a little different,\nbut as wc did not succeed with them,\ncannot advise trying them.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Popular Cardcning.\nTHE NEWS.\nThe Rov. Snin.

They Bay as thoy passed\nalong the track east of the wreck they\nsaw tire burning in hedges and grass\nall tho way along. Tho best evidence\nobtainable is that the fire was built by\nsection liands within 100 rods of the\nburning bridgo where it was left.\nThoro is a general sentiment among\nresidents hero that the seotion men\nworo largely to blame. Very few\npeoplo, except officials of the road,\ngivo any credence to the incendiary\ntheory.

An investigation disclosed tiro fact that the stringers and\nbraces wero entirely consumed and the\nbridge was in a shaky condition. < The\nfact that the train was an unusually\nlight one prevented a fearful catastrophe.

Thero was no betting to\nspeak of. Every one wanted to bet\non Hanlan. Toemer's few friends\nhung bock unless they got long odds,\nand even at that there were few beta\nmade; 300 to 200 on Hanlan waa repeatedly offered but there were no\ntakers. At 6:05 the race began. Teemer shot ahead, pulling 33 strokes to\nHanlon's32. Teemer amidst intense\nexcitement forged ahead and waa soon\nleading by nearly 2 lengths, He kept\nahead, pulling a strong, vigoroua and\nsteady stroke, and although Hanlan\ndid his level best he could not get In\nline with him. When about a mile\nhad been covered Teemer went slightly\nout of hia course but quickly discovered his mistake. Hanlan kept straight\nfor his buoy and at this time it wu\nthought he was leading, but when\nTeemer got into hia own water again\nthose who thought so were quiokly un-\ndeceived. At the turning of the\nbuoys both went too far south and\nTeemer struck his buoy, which lost\nhim a fen' strokes. He turned his\nbuoy five seconds ahead of Hanlan,\nwho lost ground by going too far\nsouth, and on the home stretch Teemer was leading .by three lengths.\nTeemer at this time was pulling 34\nand Hanlan 29. About 200 yarda past\ntho turning buoy a yacht accidentally\nfouled Teemer and he again lost four\nor live strokes. About 500 yards from\nfinish Hanlan appeared to make a\nfinal effort, but it wu no use. Teemer\nkept the lead and finished 2 lengths\nahead of Hanlan. Official time given\nwas 19:20, although... some peruana .\nmade it from 19:31 to i9:34. There\nwas was little or no cheering at the\nfinish, people seeming thoroughly disappointed and amazed at the result;\nand so ended a great nee, making\nJohn Teemer champion oarsman of\nAmerica.\nR.

D. nODQES.\nOn the flrl ot May 1887 the remains ot\nPeter Stuart Ney, a soldier of tho French\ndevolution, und, more recently, a school-\n(eriirher in a retired portion of North\nI 'niolinsr, whose mysterious demeanor and\nhistory were such as to rivet tho universal conviction, among his pupils and\nput mns, that he was none other than the\nillustrious Warelinl Ney, were disinterred\nfor expert examination.\nThe day was a line one, and hundreds\nof tho leading citizens ot this (Rowan)\nand adjoining counties, including a number of Key's old pupils, press reporters, a\nmodeler; Ney's biographer, and a corps of\nphysicians, were here at the cemetery,\nwhich is two miles from Third Creek Station, on the Western North Carolina\nIluilroail and ten miles Irom Salisbury,\ntho county Bite.\nBefore stating the result of the investigation, it is deemed not inappropriate to\nsketch, in brief, a few incidents of the life\nol r. S. Ney, since his arrival in this\ncountry, as gathered from his pupils and\nculled from various newspaper accounts.\nPeter Stuart Ney landed at Charleston,\nS. C, on the 20th ol January, 1816. After\nremaining in South Carolina a short time\nIre removed to Virginia, where he resided\nuntil about the year 1820. when he came\nto Davie County, North Carolina, and en-\ngaged in school-teaching. He taught tho\nGreek and the Latin language, as well aa\nthe English. He was exceptionally good\nin mathematics, ot which ho seemed to be\nvery fond. Ho was a man of splendid\nexecutive ability, and a rigid disciplinarian. However, he easily secured the\nlove, amounting almost to veneration, of\nhis pupils, who, in the language of one of\nthem, \"would nave fought for him and\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0lied for him had it been necessary.\"\n\"He was a man a little under six feet in\nbight.\" (His length was found to be flvo\nfeet ten inches, by. actual measurement,\nmade by the corps of physicians, in May.)\n\"Ho was not very fleshy, but quite muscular, and weighed about two hundred\npounds. His head was nearly bald, and\nshowed a scar on ono side\u00E2\u0080\u0094the lett\u00E2\u0080\u0094extending from the temple toward the center of the crown. His face was slightly\nmarked with small-pox.\"\nOn one occasion, he communicated to a\npupil, Col. T. F. Huston, tho particulars\nof tl o Russian campaign, recounting the\n'iillculticB of the retreat, and the hardships endured, and narrating how Napo-\nicon embraced him and called him 'the\nbravest of the brave.\" He gave to Colonel Huston the secret of his escape. He\nstated that the platoon detailed to do the\nbloody work were soldiers of his com-\ninadd; that they had been aacretly in-\nsi r noted to 'aim high'; that he refused to\n.rllow tho bandage to be placed over his\nI'vcs; that he himself gave the command\nio 'Are' j that they fired and he fell and\nwas pronounced dead by the attending\nI'lrysicians who where in the conspiracy;\n' init his body was at once turned over to\nnis friends who secretly conveyed him to\nBordeaux, whence he sailed for America.\nColonel Huston narrates that some\nyears since he met, near Sedalia, Mo., his\npresent home, a Frenchman named Phillip Petrie, and that this Frenchman related to him the following storv:\n\"I once belonged to Marehal Ney's command. After the fall of Napoleon and\n'.he capture of Ney, I deserted the French\narmy, and making my way to Bordeaux\nin December 1815, shipped as a seaman\nou board a vessel bound for Charleston;\nS. C. When several days out, I noticed\nri man on board whose appearance struck\nmo forcibly, and I thought I knew him.\nUpon reflection, I concluded it must be\nMarshal Ney. when seeing him a second\ntime I accosted him, and told him I\ni bought I knew him, 'Who dou you think\nI am ?' he questioned. I replied: 'My\nold commander, Marshal Ney.' In a very\ngiulf tone he responded: 'Marshal Ney\nwas shot in Paris, sir,! and turning upon\nIris heel he went to hu cabin, and I saw\nhim no more, though we were thirty five\ndays reaching Charleston.\"\nFrom a letter to The landmark, written\nMay 27th, 1880, by Burgess Galther, Esq.,\ninto member of the General Assembly\nof North Carolina,- from Davie County, I\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 |note substantially: \"I was myself apu-\nj.rl ol Mr. Ney in 1832. One day I saw\nliim have a large manuscript in his hand,\nwhich wo had just completed, and which\nlie said he would leavo in his trunk to tell\nus who he was shauld ho die in this country. Soon after this, he told me he\nthought he would soon be permitted to\nreturn to France; that young Napoleon\nwas about coming to manhood, and would\nnoon bo Emperor of France; that then he\ncould return to his native land; that he\nwould be Marshal Nov; that people\nthought Marshal Ney had been shot;\nthat Louis had ordered old veterans to\nshoot him; that on the way to the place\nof execution an officer whispered to him\nto fall at the word 'Are,' and leave the\nrest to hia friends; that he did aa directed, the balls all passing over him, struck\nthe planking, in his rear, at the proper\nhight.\"\nThe Rev. Mr. Albea, an aged but at\none time a prominent minister ol the\nMethodist Church, saya:\n\"I waa one of Ney's pupils. He was a\nnoble-looking man, and snowed his military training in his every step and movement. I do not hesitate to say that in\nmy opinion he was none other than the\ngreat Marshal of-the Empire.\"\nMrs. M. 0. Dalton, a lady now living,\nof unusual intelligence and information,\nat whoso father's house Mr. Ney boarded\nfor several sessions, says:\n\"I am in thoroughly convinced oi the\nlast that he waa Marshal Ney aa I am of\nmy own existence .... I saw him once,\nwhon he had been drinking perhaps,\ntuken up from the road in a stupor and\ni laid across a horse to be carried to the\nhouse. This aroused him, and hia involuntary expression, aa I well remember,\nwas: 'What I put. the Duke of Elchingon\non a horse like a sack 1 Put me down? 1\"\nr Dr. J. B. R. Adams says:\n\"I have been entirely satisfied In my\nown mind since 1842 that P. S. Ney, who\nI aught school within a few hundred yards\nof my residence for two years or more\nand is now buried in Third Creek Church-\nvard, was the veritable Marshal Ney.\"\nWilford Lumer, Esq., of Turnersburg,\na large cotton manufacturer, universally\nrespected says:\n'1 went to school to Peter Stuart Ney\ni in 1826 and '26, and knew him well. I\nhave no doubt that ho was Marehal Ney.\"\nMr. 0. G. Foard, than whom no man in\nNorth Carolina stands higher or is more\nrespected, at whose houso Mr. Ney died,\nInrlievcs him to have been the great\nMarshal and none other. Mr. Foard\nsays when Ney waa on hla death-bed, ho\nseveral times in flts of delirium exclaimed:\n\"Oh, France) France.my Country; why\nlould I not, like Besslerea die for theo\" I\nIlls laat words, saya Mr. Foard, were:\n\"Bcssleros has fallen, and the old guard\n1 is defeated- now let mo die\" I\nDr. Draper, President of the Historical\nSociety of Wisconsin, having learned ol\nthe incidents narrated in this paper, has\nInstituted an extended and systematic\n; plan of correspondence, to the end that he\n' may ascertain, as far as possible, the (acts\nthat may establish the identity ol Petel\nStuart Ney with that of Napoleon's great\nMarshal, or the contrary, as the facts may\nindicate. Having learned that Marsha)\nNey, at one time, had undergone the operation 61 trephining, Dr. Draper wrote\nJ. G. Ramsay, M. D., a prominent man\nand one of the foremost physicians in this\nsection of tlio country, requesting that the\nbody of P. S. Ney, whicli has been buried\nin Third Creek Churchyard, Rowan\nCounty, since November, 18-10, be disinterred and tlie skull examined with refer-\nence to the operation said to havo been\nperformed. Accordingliy, Dr. Ramsay\nissued a notice in the local press inviting\nhis brethren of the medical profession tc\nmeet him at tlio grave of P. a. Ney, May\ntlie 3rd, 1887.\n' An an early hour that morning, the\nwriter was at lire grave, finding that hundreds of others had preceded him.\nThe marble slap, 00 inches x 24 inches\nx 2 inches, standing at tho head of the\ngrave, contained the following inscription:\nIn memory\nof\nPeter Stewart Nev,\nA native of France\nand soldier of the French Revolution\nunder\nNapoleon Bonaparte,\nwho departed this life,\nNovember 15th, 1840,\nAged 77 years. ,\nAt about 2 o'clock, P. M., tho vault\nwhich had been closed forty-two years\nwas reopened. The skull on the right side\nwas fairly well preserved, the frontal,\nparietal aud temporal bones still adhering. Tho occipital bone had dropped\napart.\nOu the left side of tho skull, tho frontal\nand parietal bones still adhered, hut the\ntemporal had dropped from its place. On\nthis side, the loft, a portion of the skull\nwas gone\u00E2\u0080\u0094decayed.\nThe following is the report of the examining physicians:\n\"Third Creek Church, 1\nr Rowan County \\nMay 3rd, 1887. S\n\"The undersigned physicians wish to\nstate that according to previous notice, we\ndid to-day causo to De exhumed the body\nof P. S. jjey, In the presence of a great\nnumber of witnesses, somo of them from\nWashington, D. C, Raleigh, and other\nparts of the country. Wo found some of\nthe bones only, and there in state of such\ndecay wo cannot state positively whether\nthe skull had ever been trephined or not.\nWe made deligent searcli for bullets said\nto have been lodged in the body but\nfound none. Wo, however, succeeded so\nfar as to ascertain that the skeleton was\nabout five feet ten inches long, and the\nskull around nbout the eyes about twenty-\nfour inches in circumference.\n\"I G.

D's.'\nf DELIRIUM TREMENS.\nBrowne, in the work on 'The Medical\nJurisprudence of Insanity,\" arranges all\ndrunkards in ono or other of the following\nclasses:\nPint. Tho Accidental; as children\nwho, unconscious of tho oflects of alcoholic liquors, drink to excess; and men\nled away by joy, by friends, by physical\nfeelings, and unintentionally drinking tc\nexcess.\nSecond. Tho Regular; ho who geb\ninebriated whenever it - suits - him, al\nstated, regular times and seasons. He\nis a sano drunkard; his passion is un*\nder control, but when ho will he throws\nthe rein on its neck and lets it go. When\nhe chooses he can refuse to look 'upon the\nwine when it is red, when it giveth his\ncolor to the cup, when it moveth itsell\naright;' and ho does refuse when he\nthinks tho serpent's bite and the adder's\nsting will be too sharp and venomous foi\nhis present purpose; but at other times\nhe cares not for woo or sorrow, contentions or babblings, wounds or redness ol\neyes.\nThird. The Tippler; one almost, but\nnot altogether, a drunkard; one evei\ndrinking, but never drunk. He oftener\nobtrudes hissoaked and spirit-logged body\nupon the physician than his deeds upon\nthe lawyer. Ho agrees not with the\nJapanese maxim, 'to drink seldom, but\nheartily when at it, is better than to tip.\nle frequently and in small quantities.'\nFourth. The Habitual: through repeated indulgences the habit to indulge be-\nbecomes stronger, tho bodily craving\ngrows in strength and other motives lose\ntheir weight In this way tho moral sense\nbecomes obscured, tho seli-respect and\nthe self-restraint which depend so much\nupon tho moral estimate oi one's worth\nare no longer guiding principles of life;\nthe man has become the slave of an artificial eppetite, and is no longer the free\nruler of his own conduct. His organism\nrules ova him, and the rule is not that ol\na constitutional monarch who is governing in conformity with tho laws of health,\nbut the tyranny of a despot who is ruling\nwith the caprice of disease. Here we\npass from habitual drunkenness to dipsomania. Dr. Crichton Brown says, 'The\nessential distinction appears to mo to be\nthat in habitual drunkenness tho indulgence of the propensity is voluntary, and\nmay bo foregone, and in dipsomania it is\nnot so. Tho drunkard, as a rule, urges\nsomo external excuso for his debauch,\nwhereas wit tho dipsomaniac it is tho internal craving. With tlio dipsomaniac it\nis the tit) a tergo, with tho drunkard it is\nthe vit a fronts.

It is said the meeting\nwill result in a renewal of tlie Italian\nalliance, and its public announcement\nconcurrent with a renewal of the in-\ntenia cordiale between Italy and Austria will appear significant. Iu official\ncircles it is looked upon as Battled\nthat immediately upon the meeting of\nreichstag a special tariff of reprisals\nwill be proposed. Among othor incidents in connection with Russian hostility is Denmark's extension of the\nfortifications at Copenhagen.

The\nfacts are tho fortifications are being\nconstructed vigorously under Russian\nprompting, and on a scale hitherto unknown in Denmark.
