It if with groat pleasure t hat we
print this morning the following
communication from Dr. C. I>. Ag
: new, of New York. Comment upon
our part is unnecessary, as I)r. Ag
new’s reputation is second to none
on this continent. The New York
Herald states that no blame was at
tached to any one of the medical
gentlemen connected with tho unex
pected death of Prof. Walker:
No. in East Thirty-Ninth Ht., I
New York, April 15,1875. (
Editor* Daily Time*, (Jolumbn*, da. :
Gentlemen I have been favored
through the mail with a copy of your
influential journal, under date of
April 10th, in which there is an arti
cle headed “Poisoned by Hemlock.
It is very Important that tho lessons
to lie learned from the melancholy
result of the case should not involve
any incorrect or unjust views, and I
would therefore beg you to insert the
following brief statement:
“Mr. Walker had had for several
yeurs violent spasmodic contortions
of the muscles of the face and eye
lids, frequently incapacitating him.
for any form of labor, and always
producing distressing grimaces. He
had been under tho care of Professor
Brown-Sequard and others, and for
many months he had had my services
with little or no benefit. Tho recent
revival of confidence in the value of
hemlock, or couium, in spasmodic
affections of this character induced
Dr. Webster to propose that Mr.
Walker should have a trial of its al
leged salutary effects. The extensive
experience of Harley, London, tsoo
London Practitioner, vol. 5, 1870 ,
and of others in this country, justi
fied HUeii a course.
“Mr. Walker accordingly came to
my office by appointment, on Satur
day, April 8, at ten o’clock, to take
tin* medicine and to be under obser-;
ration. He remained there from
about ten o’clock until twenty min
utes past one, during which time he
took at the hands of Dr. Webster 180
drops of an extract of the leaves of
conium wit hout, producing any of the
effects of the drug. After waiting an
hour and thirty-five minutes after tlm
last dose he walked away, stating ;
that he was in his usual health and j
did not feel any of the symptoms
which the drug was supposed to pro
duce. Before going l)r. Webster
gave him a prescription for a fluid j
extract of conium, with instructions:
to carry the prescription to tho man
ufacturer of the extract in Brooklyn
and to seethe manufacturer iu per
son and to ascertain from iiim what
dose of his extract could be safely
taken. He went, it seems, to the
manufacturer, saw him in person, was
observed by him to be free from any
intoxication from the drug given
nearly four hours previously, obtain
ed the extract of conium, Imd the
dose prescribed by him with
A CAUTION NOT TO REPEAT IT
if he experienced any of the symp
toms which had boon previously
carefully enumerated. To return,
during ttio three hours and twenty
minutes that he was at my office un
der tho observation of Dr. Webster,
the latter fully instructed Mr. Walker
as to the symptoms that the remedy
was expected to produce, and read to
him an account of the drug and its
action as detailed in a standard work,
false explained carefully the effect
which the drug might produce, and
inquired an hour and twenty minutes
after the last dose whether such ef
fect had been produced, and was dis
tinctly (
ANSWERED IN THE NEGATIVE.
“Mr. Walker went from the manu
facturer’s to his home, took, as it is
said, three ’doses of the extract, al
though the tirst dose had produced
the effect which ho had been warned
should be considered as forbidding
its continued use, and between six
and seven o’clock died.
PRECAUTIONS.
“In this case it should be observed
that very extraordinary and minute
precaution had been taken by the
medical men concerned to guard
against every accident. Mr. Walker
hail had large experience in the use
of nerve remedies and was a man ol'
remarkable intelligence. As lie left
our office lie stated that ho under
stood the directions which had been
so carefully given, and would follow
| them.”
“Two hundred and forty drops of
the fluid extract of conium seed, of
Sqtiibbs’ make, have been taken in
one dose by an adult with impunity.
Considering the fact that the first
preparation taken by Mr. Walker was
of the leaves, he got in all, in liiaeig/ff
doses, less than that. Had ho follow
ed the directions given so carefully
by his medical advisers, he would, in
all human probability, bo alive to
day. It is not an uncommon thing
for any careful medical man to give
some preparation of opium, with di
rections to repeat the dose until sleep
is induced; or to give strychnine, or
arsenic, until its medicinal effects are
produced. If patients, so advised,
should go on, in spite of the most
careful instructions, and produce a
fatal result, intelligent critics would
not blame the doctor. The fatal mis
take made by Mr. Walker was that
he did not stop after the first dose,
when he reoognizetl, and had his wife
write down, tho peculiar symptoms,
on the occurrence of which he had
been ordered, over and over again, to
stop. One lesson certainty nmy be
learned from the ease, viz.: to follow
the advice of the medical adviser
provided ho is trustworthy to the
very letter. The remedy used was not
as dangerous a one as opium and
many others in common use, as it
acts without impairing the menial
faculties.
Very respectfully,
C. It. Aonew.”
Dr. Agnew adds iu a private letter
tho following, which we take the lib
erty of publishing:
“I felt a great, interest in Mr.
Walker’s welfare, and was greatly
shocked by his untimely death. Al
though I feel that all the medical
men involved aro entirely blameless,
I greatly regret tho fatal result and
the notoriety which it brings - the
account of the case having gone, more
or less distorted, over the whole
world. Ido not regret the notoriety
on all accounts, nor do I shrink from
criticism, provided, only, the facts of
the case arc sufficiently brought out
to impress the lessonswhich they aro
fitted to inculcate.
"I was told at the time of Mr. Toyn
bee’s death that its cause was chlo
roform. Of this fact I would not of
my own knowledge affirm.
“What makes Mr. Walker's ease
harder for his family is the fuct that
he was unable to leave any property.
Indeed, his condition was so impecu
nious that I had treated him as a froo
patient both at my Hospital mid my
office. His business was thut of an
oleetrielan and Insurance agent -net
that of a scientist—and his malady
had always, or for many years, kept
him in penury. C. R. A.”

In order to better illustrate the
character of sub-marine tunnels, and
demonstrate the practicability of the
I scheme, we give below a brief history
lof tho famous Thames tunnel. We
I premise this statement by the usser
: tion that the relative cost of the tun
! nel across the Straits of Dover will be
j much less than that across the
) Thames. Thisopinion is based upon
tho fact that it was necessary for the
Thames tunnel to be self-sustaining,
and the quick-sand underneath the
Thames necessitated tho propelling
of a frame as fast as the excavation
proceeded. With a chalk formation
this will not be necessary; and no
formation is more favorable for the
successor the enterprise, than that
across the English Channel, H will
be observed that the same depth be
low the bottom of the sea as that ex
eavated below the bottom of the
Thames Is considered sufficient, viz:
200 feet.
It has not yet been decided wheth
er work will lie commenced simul
taneously on the French and Eng
lish coasts. Since, however, the sci
ence of engineering lias so far pro
gressed to perfection, that the tunnel
underneath the Alps was so accurate
ly performed that the picks from the
opposite sides met each other; and
since—thanks to Commodore Maur>
-the cable lias been successful!)
laid in the trough of the sea, we have
every reason to hope for the success
of ttie enterprise.
THAMES TUNNEL.
In going into Thames tunnel, one
is ushered into an immense shaft ol
61) feet diameter, and two stair cases
with 105 steps. There is a similai
shaft on the opposite side. Tho ex
cavation was commenced in June,
1824, 150 feet from tho river. The
dimensions of the tunnel are as fol
lows : Length, 1,200 feet; width, 98
feet; height, 22 feet 6 inches; section
al area, 850 feet; basis of excavation
in deepest part of the river, 7G feet
below high water mark. There are
63 open arches, 126 lights in the tun
nel, six lights in each shaft. Two
| stair cases are in each shaft, that on
Surrey side has 109 steps in tho de
scent, and 105 in the ascent; oil the
Wapping side there are only 99 to
each. It required 5,500 bricks per
foot, and 6,600,000 in all, exclusive of
the shafts. The total cost was £468,-
000.
Iu 1831, Parliament granted a loan
of £250,500. The shaft and reservoir
having been completed, the excava
tion for tlie body of the tun
nel was commenced with an in
cline of 2 feet 3 inches per 100
feet. On the 25th of March, 1843, it
was opened to foot passengers. The
carriage way is not yet completed.
On the first 11 days 200,000 persons
passed through ; and the total num
ber of persons who passed through
the tunnel up to the 30th of Decem
ber, 1865, amounted to 23,882,448.
| Tho charge for crossing is one pen
ny per head, hence it, will be seen
that the Thames tunnel has proved a
financial failure.
There is but little similitude be
tween tlm two tunnels.
TRAVEL UNDER THE SEA.
“Is there no wily to crass the sen by
hunt?” asks a poltroon in one of
Thomas Bamlolph’s comedies. This
problem has agitated English and
French engineers since IMS, when M
Thome Do Uamond first conceived
tliu idea that tlio straits between Do
ver and Calais might bo crossed by a
tunnel, a viaduct high enough to ad
mit tho passage of vessels, or by
means of huge metallic water-tight
tubes resting on the sea-bottom, li
was not, however, until 1885 that the
project of a submarine tunnel took a
practical shape. In that year the
careful researches of Sir John Hawk
shuvv, an eminent English engineer,
into tho nature of the strata beneath
the Channel confirmed the theories
of geologists, and demonstrated the
feasibility ortho scheme, lie made
accurate surveys of the Channel bot
tom, and bail deep borings sunk on
each coast. As tho result, of Ins in
vestigations, Sir Joint selected for the
English terminus St. Margaret’s Bay,
a depression in tin* chalk cliffs about
four miles east of Dover, and on the
French side a spot about throe miles
west of Calais. By adopting this
route the tunnel could be almost
wholly excavated in a bed of homo
geneous chalk. This Tied is upward
of 500 feet deep on each shore from
high-water mark, and investigations
lead to tho conclusion that it stretches
without break or fissure across the
Channel, The level underneath tho
sea at which the tunnel has been
placed in the engineering plans will
nowhere have less than 200 feet of
solid chalk above it, While the rail
way approaches at either end will be
on very easy grades.
Extensive experiments justify the
conclusion that but little difficulty is
to be apprehended from the presence
of water ill the chalk bed through
which the tunnel will be made.
Mere percolation of water through
tho chalk would not affect the work,
and there is little probability of meet
ing, at the great depth at which the
excavation will be made, with open
fissures.
It is proposed to bore a “drift-way”
of seven or nine feet diameter from
one side of tho Channel to the other,
the borings starting from each side.
This work, it is estimated, could lie
finished In two years at a cost of
about £BOO,OOO sterling. The borings
would be made with u new tunneling
machine, which works like an auger
boring a hole in wood. The chalk is
out off in slices, which break up and
fall upon an endless chain, from
| which they are dumped into wagons
behind the machine. This machine
I has been tried in a chalk bed similar
! to the one through which the tunnel
will run ; it made a drift-way seven
I feet in diameter, at the rate of a yard
' to a yard and a quarter per hour.
The drift-way completed, the success
of the enterprise would be assured.
It is estimated t hat its completion
would require four years’ time and
about £4,000,UU0 sterling. The ques
tion of ventilation has been carefully
considered, and several practicable
schemes have been proposed to pro
vide for this necessity. The English
and French engineers agree In opin
ion that there will bo no difficulty in
obtaining by mechanical means a
steady current of air through the
tunnel at all times, quite sufficient to i
maintain the purity of t he atmosphere.;

Mr. Beecher’s eon luot under Ful
lerton’s cross (Ire reminds us some
what of the soldiers in the army who
always dodged bomb-shells. It made
no difference how high above their
heads the unearthly sound was, they j
invariably dodged. Y’et, how impos
sible, after all, it was to dodge a
shell when it came directly to its
victim. Mr. Beecher, though “an art
ful dodger,” can not do igc success
fully public opinion. Whatever may
be tho verdict of tho jury, the public
will form Its own opinion, and we
think that opinion will be unfavora
ble to Mr. Beecher. Both he and
Theodore Tilton will meet the con
demnation of honest men and wo
men. “How have the mighty J

ful physical and mental vigor excites

their opponent.— Chicago Tribune.
It is more difficult to describe these j
indications of nervousness positively
ttian negatively. There was no trem
bling of hands or lingers ; Mr. Beech

the slightest agitation or tremulous-j

Hidden meaning in the question, a,
gloomy and reserved manner, these;
were the chief and most marked indi
cations that. Mr. Beecher dreaded, in
some degree ul least, an ordeal which
tie admitted was new to him. It did
not continue long—ut least not to the
close of the examination —and when
ue had left the witness chair, at 4
o’clock, he said jocosely that he did
not feci that his “hide had been taken
off, though,” he added, “there’s no
telling what will come to-morrow.”

Mrs. Tilton, however, is not the

most need to call. That person is

sue of Tilton against Beecher with
out Bowen’s evidence is little better
than a farce. He has challenged

Southern people take in our national

tho Southern States are too poor to

cannot leave the South out of the
Centennial without some discredit to
the policy the North has pursued
since the war.
Let the Soutli either abstain as a

At Oartersville, fifty miles north of i
Atlanta, fine crops of wheat and cot- ;
ton are raised [and the writer might :
have added as fine clover and grasses '
as grow in Western New York -Ed.];
and in the vicinity large quarries of
slate and marble have been opened,
and worked successfully.
[Few localities in the United States
possess a greater abundance of man- j
ganese, and nearly all the iron used i
iu Atlanta, besides a half-dozen fur
naces in operation iu the county in
which Oartersville is situated, is fur- 1
uished from the hills near Carters
ville. This iron is chiefly used, when
shipped North, for the manufacture
of car wheels, which is an evidence of
its quality.—Ed.]
The transition from the brisk air j
and re lish uplands of Northern Geor- j
gia to the siugglish atmosphere and i
sombre voluptuousness of the low-j
lands of the coast is startling. One ;
seems to have come upon anew eoun
try, to have passed beyond seas, so !
great is the difference. The Savan
nah river, up which you sail return
ing from Florida, some radiant morn-,
iug, seems to you to have no affinity !
with the Savannah which, far among j
the Northern mountains, you saw
born of the frolicsome or riotous
streamlets, for ever leaping and roar
ing in the passes or over mighty falls.
Now that a steamship line has
been established between Brunswick'
and New York, and the lumber busi-!
ness is reviving, tiie Macon & Bruns- 1

The time is coming when that road !
will be a very profitable property,
nnd.that time is not far distant. Luih- ‘

Senator Morton thinks tho poverty,
prostration, and utter supiuess of tho

will differ, I could but contrast Sena
tor Morton ’a views on this subject
wiiti ttiose of Governor Houiton, of
Alabama, with whom I had a some
what extended Interview during the
sojourn of the late lamented editorial
excursion in Montgomery. Said Gov
ernor Houston: “The lack of thrift
which you have noted in our country
| is owing largely to two causes, one of
which is the spursene.ss of white pop
j ulation, und the other the luck of con
fidence which our people feel in those
who govern them. ’ By this the Go
v ernor explained that lie meant the car
pet-baggers who are elected by the
negro vote to State offices and lo till
legislative halls, und who, having no
interests in common with the South
ern people, keep taxes high, pass op
