Burdette’s Baggage.
The Burlington Haw key« humorist,
R. J. Burdette, who is out on a lectur¬
ing tour, lets loo*e his feelings in re¬
gard to a New York baggageman, in
the following style: The baggageman
who was on duty at the New York, New
Haven aud Hartford baggage room at
j eight o’clock in the morning will deceive
passengers. He lied to me.
I saw my baggage re-checked, an£
got the checks in my hand Then I said:
“ You’ll get Ron this 8 06 train ?”

train.” For it was onlv heavy band

“No; if you can get on that t-fa ,

all the wide expanse of platferqrhe was
not visible. I thought he was either
terribly rapid. slow or had been marvelous"
The train pulled out.
That baggageman, after 1 had / le
him, sat down and played a couple
games he of chequers on Then, a trunk. I Then
went to sleep. believe,
he awoke, rubbed his eyes, looked at
my valises, kicked them to see if there
was anything in them that would break,
and said, dreamily and Richard Grant
Whitely: “There’s
that feller’s baggage that
wanted ’em to go to Providence on the
8 05.”
Measureless liarf by his wicked de¬
ceit he sent me to North Attleboro’ with
just about as much of a wardrobe as a
tramp. And I never got my baggage
till the Monday morning following.
Why did he lie to me ? Why didn’t he
give me my baggage when he knew in
his vicious, depraved, prevarioating
heart that he wasn’t going to try to get
my things baggage on that train ? We do these
better in the West. Why, on
the old Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, from the time the first spike
was driven, there never was a piece of
baggage lost or left, there was never
a passenger misled or deceived, there
never was a train reached a station off
schedule time but one, and it came in
ten seconds ahead; and since Potter has
been superintendent, a man’s baggage
always ahead gets to the hotel thirty minutes
of him and spreads ont his clean
linen to air for him.
Hereditary Effects of Drink.
Dr. Willard Parker, referring to the
hereditary York effect of drink, said to alcohol a New
is the reporter: “ Of all agents,
most potent in establishing hered¬
ity that exhibits itself in the destruction
of mind and body. It transmits an ap
petite for strong drink to the children,
' and theee are likely to have that form
of drunkenness which may be termed
paroxysmal; that is, they will go for a
considerable period without any indul
' gence, until at last all barriers of self
control give way. The drunkard by in¬
heritance is a more helpless slave than
his progenitor, and the children he
begets are more helpless still. Heredi¬
tary effects of drink are shown in insani¬
ty, of the idiocy, epilepsy and other affections
brain and nervous system. Prit¬
chard and Esquirol, two great authori¬
ties on the subject, attribute one-half
of the cases of insanity in England to
the use of aloohol, and the same is prob¬
the ably rue in this country. Oue-half of
idiots are of drunken parentage. I
have been acquainted with several men,
I having brilliant and cultivated minds,
who inherited the vice, and they have
stated to me that there were times when
the impulse to *nnk strong liquor was
it resistible, and that nothing had power
to diasuauo uiem from yielding to u.
An instance of bow a mother, accus¬
tomed to the nse of aloohol, influences
her offspring, may be related from my
own experience. A merchant in good
circumstances came to me for medical

The other child was in reality a moral
idlot - Here » in ®pit« of the restraining
influence of the flue mental and physical
organization of the mother, we see the
effects of aloohol cropping out in the
third generation. We do not always
aee the worst effects of the hereditary
influence of alcohol, because of the fre¬
quent which mingling of good blood with that
is tainted. From my own obser¬
vations and the testimony of others, I am
led to the conclusion that by far the
larger share of mental disease, poverty
and erime is the direct heritage of alco¬
hol. It is also the oanse of a great share
of the our bodily disease, and is shortening
average duration of life. Robbins,
in a work on sanitary science, says that
the average duration of life in this city
in 1810 was between twenty-six and
twenty-seven years. Since then it has
decreased until the average age does not
now exceed fifteen years. If we rednoed
tho death rate to what it was fifty years
ago there would be a saving of more
than ll.QOO lives every year. Our city
ought to be one of the healthiest in the
world. A careful examination will al¬
ways reveal the fact that indulgence in
alcoholic beverages and the death rate,
as well as the increase in mental and
nervous diseases, have a relative propor¬
tion. Of course there are other de¬
intemperance generative causes, the but primary they go back ” to
as one.
A Doctor on Diet.
Dr. E. C. Heguin lectured on " Diet ”
before the Workingmen’s Lyceum, in
New York. He said in his opening
remarks that to get much out of the
body or mind a man must adequately
supply nourishing food. Even a mans
morality will depend in a large measure
npon the food that he puts iuto his body.
He quoted two sententious maxims:
First, “ Tell me what you eat, and I
will tell yon what you are;” secondly,
of “ A the good beast eats well. ” The nature
food makes the difference between

NO. 48.
A .Struggle with Desperadoes.
John Willis and Henry Darlington
alia* Walker, had just entered, in tho
center of Houston, Texas, a livery stable
where their horses—splendid
but stolen— had been left since their
arrival in the city a few days before.
Their confederate, Johnson, bad been
quietly Ab arrested a few hours previously.
the bandits stepped in the entrance
-fine-looking, be powerful fellows—they
the were waist seen of to each heavily armed. Around
which glittered twenty-five was a pistol-belt, from
cartridges of the 45 caliber or thirty
from which hung, size, and
oonoealed beneath
their linsey woolsey ooats, a pair oI
beautiful silver-mounted pistols.
Before the desperadoes got to their
horses Deputy Sheriff Morris planted
himself in front of Willis, and, looking
him fearlessly in the eye, quietly re¬
marked, as though talking to a kid
gloved dandy, “I want you.” The
bandit understood him. Instantly his
right hand grasped one of the glistening
pistols. Quick as thought the deputy
seized him, and a rough-and-tumble
contest ensued, the desperado putting
forth his full strength to get his pistol
iuto position to shoot the offloer, and the
latter, knowing his life was at stake,
fiercely clutching bis enemy. Another
officer name up, and Willis was eventu¬
ally hail disarmed—not, however, before he
thrown Morris to the pavement.
Meantime the other bandit, Henry
Darlington, by Deputy alias Walker, was tackled
Sheriffs Fant and Wood.
They lets succeeded in slipping the brace¬
on their prisoner, and had proceed¬
ed a few steps toward the prison, when
he made one sudden, herculean effort.
Officer Fant was thrown down on the
sidewalk in front of a hotel, and the
bandit was about braining him with a
chair, when Deputy Wood, seeing the
peril of his oompanion, drew his six
shooter, and, having the drop on Walk¬
er, tired. The ball passed through one
of the lungs, producing a fatal wound.
No further resistance was offered by
the baudit, who was oonveyed to jail.
Walker or Darlington, although hav¬
ing the best surgical attention, died the
following full day in jail. His last hours
were of dreadful suffering, yet
though conscious he was treading on the
confines of eternity, made no confession.
The young desperado’s eyes closed in
death, surrounded by no friends. The
body was quietly buried. It was subse¬
quently like his shown that this young man,
two confederates, had heretofore
belonged and to one of the most formidable
robbers, dangerous gangs of highwaymen,
murderers and stage thieves.
An account is given in the French
journals of a new and interesting inven¬
tion, namely, a method of proauoing a
cloth from glass, which has some special
advantages over ordinary textiles ; that
is, it is produced in all oolors and of
different strengths, and is also incom¬
bustible, this latter property rendering
in valuable for those who have to work
near a fire or flames. It is also adapted
for ladies* dresses, and for other pur
poses, in place of silk, and it is said to
be more glossy and lustrous, and is,
moreover, have all the easily washed. It is stated to
heavy silk, appearanoe characterizing
and is soft and elastio like
the latter. Its usefulness, however,
must of course depend in a great degree
on its durability.
