"Monsieur X" thus writes to tho Now
York Sun i
Physicians sny that nearly Iwo thirds of
tlicir malo patients sillier in ono way or an
other from nlcholic poison.
No closo observer will be disposed to doubt
this.
From tho low shops on South nnd West
streets, along tho Hue of moro fashionable
saloons on and near Broadway,, in the vicin
ity of the old post office, In) life gilded re
treats that gird the Astor hou90, in tho
several places of noto on Printing House
Squarc,in tho cozy boudoirs of Union Square,
and in the magnificent marblo palaces that
fringe Madison Square, not omitting tho
frescoed club room and the dingy 6lop shops
of the extrcino cast side from tho first to
the lost, and m tlicm'nll, tho samo story of
intemperance may bo learned.
I went into the basement of ono of Goth
am's greatest architectural piles this morn
ing, and stood at tho end of tho countcr.lialf
an hour, to seo what was done.
There wero four bartenders, all busily en
gaged. In that brief timo they sold to all sorts and
conditions of men two hundred beers, thirty
two whiskiesjtcnXlemonades, two plain
'seltzers, anil threo gin'cocktails.
t - It was tth exceptionally busy half hour, to
ibqsuro; but as I took my scat at a little
table near the counter, I noticed In tho next
half hour, nnd made a memorandum to
iguard against mistakes, a sale of ono hun
dred and thirty beers, fifty whiskies and six
gin cocktails.
Tho men who drank wero not "bums."
Very many of them aro known to tho
world of politics, several were noted writers,
the city hall furnished its quota, some do
business in the swamp, and not ono seemed
in the Ieat degree nllecied by what ho drank.
Leaving this placo wo went to another sa
loon, equally well known, whoso proprietors
pay an annual rent df $00,000 for tho premi
ses, which aro kept ojien from eight o'clock
in tho morning until seven in tho evening.
Standing by n littlo cigar caso which is
placed at ono side of tho room, I devoted
half an hour to a close count of the drinks
and drinkers.
There wero three barkeepers, and they had
all they could do to attend promptly to tho
customers.
One company, of six young men drank six
timeS in less thanfiftccn minutes, nnd each
took his whisky ttraight.
In half an hour's timo that bar sold ninety-eight
whiskies, four ginger ales, threo
ciders, and fourteen gin-cocktails.
As I went out I said to ono of tho six
young men who drank six times : "What
aro you drinking 60 much for to-day7"
" Oh, nothing," ho replied j "I didn't in
tend to. Charley nnd I wcut in for an oys
ter, and were ordering when thoso four fel
lows from Albany camo along. Charley
asked 'em to drink, and ono followed the
other."
That's tho history of many a spree. The
spree doesn't intend to go off, but meeting a
friend ono tempts tho other.
Returning to tho saloon I visited first, I
ordered a lunch, and was soon joined I al
ways am by an acquaincance, who, of
cotirse, said, "Wha'll you take?"
Being in a taking mood, I said I would
try a glass of rye. lie took tho same.
Having said, "How, "and emptied our glass
es, I said, "Rufe, whnt did you drink that
whisky for? Do you like it?"
" So, I don't liko it. I'm drinking too
much, too. Guess I'll pull up."
" Well, tell me.what did you order it for?"
" Why, for sociaability's sake, I suppose."
What did you dnuk it for?"
" Because I wanted to ask just this ques
tion. I've been looking at the fellows drink
thefe, aud I bclicvo that eight out of ten
drink just because they don't liko to say
'nol' "
'' Does it make your (lead nrho to drink
whisky J"
" Yes."
" So it does mine, i iworo off whisky'
and took to bccr.but betr makes me bilious.-"
" rhy drink onythiWg?"
" Jlanged if I know; but wo all drink."
We wero joinod by Mi actor. Being art
actor,- and in tho conijiony of a newsphiurr
marl; there was, ho thought, but one tiling
to do1.
Paid he,"What'll y'oit tako?"
We took whisky.
Bo did he.
Ve each said, "liotv," and then eald' Ii
"flan, do you liko whisky
" I hato it."
" Why do drink it ?"
" I don't often. I generally' take girl: b'iit
they both upset mo ; give me a fearful head
ache. But what arc you going to do ? Mutt
drink something."
In that way I have- spoken to not less than
twenty men this very day. Of the twenty,
fifteen said that drink always gave them a
headache one owned that ho "loved tho
taste," one said he drank bcoausa ho was
"blue,"and one confessed he was "on a tear,"
and he "didn't care who knew it."
It stands to reason that this sort of thing
must produce some impression on tho hu
man form divine.
Tha doctors My it induce paralysis, indi
gestion, headache, rhettlatism and weakness
of many kinds.
Not being a doctor, I don't attenipt to en
dorso their opinion i butthis I will say, that
among all tho hundreds of drinkers regu
lar topers, not drunkards to bo Ibuud in
tho first class snlooni of New York to-day,
it would bo impossiblo lo find a dozen men
who will say that thd drink becauso they
aro fond of liquor.
They drink becauso it seems lo bo thd
thing to do.
Tough to tho Last.
JuUPtNO FBOM A TRAIi AXD Rl'MSIXO, Swilt-

CornIxo, N. Y., Nov. 22. Deputy Sheriff
Edsall of Chemung county was on his way
to Rochester yesterday on an Erio Railway
train, with Miko Murphy, a criminal who
had been sentenced to tho Penitentiary.
When two miles west of Kanonah, and
while tho train was running at tho rate of
thirty miles an hour, Murphy jumped from
tho car. Tho train was stopped as soon n3
possible. Tho officer went back, expecting
to find tho mangled body of his prisoner.
Ho found tho ground torn up for twenty-fivo
feet nlong tho track where Murphy had
tumbled and plunged through it. There
was bloodon tho ground, but Murphy was
nowhere to bo seen. Scmo men working
near satd they saw Murphy jump off, and
that ho had picked himself up and told them
tho conductor put him off. Ho had started
across the fields on a run. Ho was sighted
by tho officers nearly a milo away. Tho
Sheriff startcd.in pursuit. Murphy plurlged
into Fivc-Milo Creek and swam across, and
ran up along tho stream. Tho sheriff crossed
the stream in tho samo way, and gained
rapidly on tho fugitive. When within pistol
shot ho fired nt Murphy, who then jumped
into tho water 'ft second timo nnd crossed
back again, and continued on up tho stream.
Tho officer swam tho creek again. After
running half a milo Murphy again swam
tho creek, followed by the Sheriff. Murphy
then struck oil' into tho fields nnd took tho
Hnmmoncsport road, which ho finally left
nnd made for a thick pieco of woods. In
crossing a rough pieco of ground Murphy
fell. Ho made two effords before he could
get up. The Sheriff was then so nearly ex
hausted that he was unablo to go much fas
ter than a wnlk. Murphy reached tho
woods followed by pistol balls. Tho Sheriff
had noticed blood at intervals oil tho trail.
When tho officer got into tho woods Murphy
was nowhere to bo seen. Tho Sheriff walk
ed in, when ho was soon almost stunned by
a blow across his neck from a club, and be
fore he could turnjio wasseixed by Murphy,
who began to shower blows on the officer's
head. Tho latter managed to free himself,
and made an effort to uso his revolver, but
Murphy knocked it out of his hand, and
tried to get tho weajloH himself. A struggle
then began between the two men for posses
sion bf tho pistol. Bp lucky chanco tho
officer got tho club Mtirphy had ilroppcd,
nnu, springing back, ho struck him a blow
that felled him to tho ground. Ho then
choked Murphy until tho latter was forced
to beg for Inercy. Eiisall secured tho pistol
and marched Murphy in fiont of him to
Kanonah station, threatening to shoot him
if ho turned or ran. Murphy's wounds
were in his legs, pieocs of flesh having been
torn out when ho jumped from tho train.
How ho managed to run four miles, swim

Stealing a Registered Letter.
In tho United States District Court, at
rhiladelphia,on Thursday of last wcek.reter
S. Haintz, lately a liostmaster nt Hamburtr.
Pa., was jiut on his trial on tho cbargo of
having detained and secreted a registered
letter. Tho letter was mailed at Cresona, in
Schuylkill county ,by James A. Butts,dlrcct
cd to N. S. Shuck, at Hamburg, which is in
Berks county. There was proof that the let
ter was done up by tho assistant jwstntaster
at Cresona, in tho usual way, nnd forwarded
it to Hamburg ; that the mail agcnt9 receiv
ed it, receipted for it as required, nnd put it
in tho pouch ; and upon arriving nt tho
HambGrg citation thcJiiouch was thrown off,
and it was carried to tho post-office. Tho
letter which contained a hundred dollars did
not reach its destination, ami when inquiry
was made about it, Mr. Hainti mado an
swer that ho had not received it j that he
operieil the' pu'iMi himself, and the register
ed letter was not in it. Theso facts wero tes
tified to by tho jwrties interested.
Tho defenco was that Mr. Haintz was of
too good a character to have! lerjwtrated tho
offence charged, and that tho testimony of
tho registered letter reaching tho Hamburg
offico was uot W aatisfactory as to justify a
verdict of guilty against a man of unquesti
onable reputation for honesty. It was prov
ed that Mr. Haintz had been in tho navy
during the Reliellion, was a prisoner at An
dersonville and twelve years tma5ter at
Hamburg ; also that his arrest did not tiko
placo until six months after Iho disappear
ance of tho registered letter, ond that regis
tered letters had disappeared on tho route to
tho Hamburg Post-office since tho accused
ceased to be the postmaster.
After remarks by District Attorney Val
entine, and by Col. McMiehael for tho ac
cused, Judz Cadwalader rharjod tho jury
Subscribers out of County, $1.20;
to tho effect that; up to tho timo tho pouch
was thrown from tho trairl at tho Hamburg
station, tho testimony was blear crtiugh; but
beyond that it was obscure; and sufficiently
so to ralso a Houbt of tho defendant's guilt.
Tho jury tendered a verdict of guilty with
out leaving their seats, and upon the an
Uounccmcnt there was a vigorous clapping
of hands, dno bf tho persons observed to bo
most energetic in bxpresslng his satisfaction
was takcrl before tho Juctgo nnd asked If ho
did not ktiow thrlt Ills coliiluct was very im
proper in a, court of justice: Ho replied that
ho did not. " t'o J-btl say so ?" asked tho
Judge. " I do" Was tho response. ' Then,"
was tho reply, " if you are so ignorant as not
to know differently, I'll discharge you ; I
intended to fine vou ono hundred dollars."
A Family (Jift of Gteliferhl Gra.it.
Wo aro dally receiving additions to our
knowledge of General Grant, who, in Taris,
is just as great a lion as ho was In London.
It is now discovered that not only Is ho of
thd Clan Grant, but that ho presents A re-mai-kablo
rcscrli bianco to ono of tho greatest
of Judges, Sir William Grant, n Master' of
tho Rolls,whoo famo was so great that Lord
Brdllghnm included tho great master of judi
cial 'eloquence in his last Work, tho "Sketch
es of tiritish Statesmen." Sir William Grant
was born in Montyshiroin 1755, and only
died in 13.12. Left an orphan, ho was
brought up by an unclei London merchant,
and after being fcilucated at Elgin, "thothitif
town of tho Clan Grant," and at Leydcn, ho
cntercM Lincoln's frirt nnd was; balled to tho
bar. Ho emigrated to Canada, where ho
was Attorney General, but returned to Ldn
don, and, having attracted tho notice of Mr.
Titt ho wa3 returned for Shaftesbury. Ho
distinguished himself in Parliament, nnd by
an nblo argiimcnt in a Scotch appeal hd
gained tho friendship of Lord Thurloir. lid
passed rapidly into practice and into legal
promotion, and in 1801, being Solicitor Gen
eral, ho wa5 appointed .Master of tho Rolls;
tho greatest of Masters, and for seven toon
years was regarded as " a, perfect model of
judicial excellence." Ho had tho art of bre
vity, an art now forgotten in tho practice of
tho law, and could disposo of an entire argu
ment in a parenthesis. On his retirement
ho was requested to sit for his portrait,which
is now hung up in tho court he so long
adorned. If tho resemblance of General
Grant to his namesake should hava the er
ect of drawing attention to tho judical mcr
its of Sir William Grant, who ncyer wasted
a word, wo shall bo grateful. Perhaps Gerf:
eral Grant has derived his own lovd of bro
vity from tho most distinguished member of
his clan. There is rescmblanco between thd
Grant presented by tho brush of Sir Thomas'
Lawrcneo and tho Grant of our day; No
matter how wo get it, if wo can obtain thn
judicial brovityof tho Master and the hatred
oi verbosity oi tnoucneral in our publio lifo.
