Our last communication gave some reasons for the 'assertion that "oleo hol retards - digestion." In , the p.rer ent we propose -to examine briefly some of the" effects of alcohol upon " the respiratory !unctions." The common air which we' inhale in breathing, is composed chiefly of two glum, oxygen and nitrogen.' It is for the sake, of the oxygen especial ly, or aknost exclusively, that the res piratory process is carried on, • - When we draw in a breath the air of the atmosphere passes into the cells of the lungs where the blood takes up a portion of its oxygen, at the same time parting -with a 'portion--of its carbon, which is exhaled in the form of-carbonic acid. The blood by means of _the oxygen thus inhaled is supplied with- means to carry on the processes essential to life, and with the food proper furnish- . es the necessary elements to nourish the material frame. ' Omitting mi nute details, we may state the result of . the breathing process is, that the blood receives oxygen and the breath carbon. Oxygen, the element most essential to animal life, goes into the circulation, and carbon, which damps and extinguishes life, goes out in the breath, and corresponds to the amount of oxygen inhaled; lees about one per cent., which is expelled through other outlets. We may re mark here, that if by any means the amount of oxygen in the blood is in creased, the amount of carbon in the breath is eorrespo . ndingly increased, and this is the measure of the inten sity of the life process in every living annual, the result of vital action, and not chemical changes. • Hence the fact, founded upon a law of our phys ical natures, that moderate exercise by promoting respiration, invigorates the . body, increaser g the amount of oxygen in the blood, and the amount of carbon in the breath. It is shown by abundant testimony that in a few minutes after tie imbi bition of alcohol, it is exhale in the breath ; not carbonic acid, but aid,- hol, and the carbonic acid corres pondingly lessened. Experiment proves, the blood from one accustomed to the excessive use of alcohol contains 30 per cent. more of carbon than in the normal state. This, in connection with the fact that alcohol is exhaled in the breath, proves that it absolutely diminishes the vital powers by diminishing the amount of oxygen in the- blood, and of carbonic acid in the breath—either by .direstint the oxygen from its proper function;-thns retarding the exhalation of carbonic acid .at the lungs, or by -preventing the proper amount of oxygen being inhaled. This truth will not be disputed by any thorough student of: organic chemistry or physiology, unless up on the theory that alcohol is decom posed in the system and combines frith o' portion, of the oxygen inhaled. As the testimony is conclusive that alcohol is in no way digestible, but is absorbed into the blood without un dergoing !change, the advoCates for its use must admit, if not claim, that a chemical change would take place in the blood itself. Such a theory, if true, would forever bar its use by any one acquainted with the first princi ples .of organic chemistry or physiol ogy. Chemical changes cannot take place in living structures, .except by a destruction of all the " vital proper ties" involved -in such changes. We find not only food in the sto mach, but the vit -1 change of air in the lungs indisputably retarded by an agent to which the medical ad viser so often flees for an increase of vital power. But I am told, "My experieiwe proves the contrary."' We reply, Sci ence is based upon demonstrable truths: Science is above all "expe rience.' not-capable of demonstration. • The theory that the oxygen (" di verted from its proper use ") coin , tines with alcohol to increase' animal heat, will be the subject 'for another article from .

[From tho Montgomery Daily Mail of Jan. 4.] ATTEMPT BY NEGEOEB TO SWEAR AWAY THE. LIVES OF TWO GOOD WIZEN& On Friday night . last .one Susan Simmons, a negro girl recently in the employ of tol. A. Edwards; as cook, 'went to Justice Nettles and made affidavit that on the first Wednesday night after the Ist day of October last, a man whose name she heard called Echols' came to CoL Edwards' house to supper, staid all night, and after 'going to bed, was drugged and murdered by Col. Edwards and Sam uel R. Honey, his son-in-law, his body platd in a box and put away in a cellar, this occurring between 11 and 1 o'clock at night. On the strength 'of this affidavit Warrants were issued for the arrest of Colonel Edwards and Captain Honey, both of whom promptly surrendered them selves. Justice Nettles on, Saturday morning appointed a committee of gentlemen, consisting of Hons. Win. P. Chilton and M. Taul, and Mayor Glasscock, assisted by officers Gra ham. and Hill, to examine Colonel Edwards' premise s The . committee after making ' a thorough examina tion of die cellar, and a box, about 41 feet long, which they found in the cellar, reported that in their opinion there were no indication of a dead body's having been on the place, no trace of blood, or - ! anything of the kind; and no evidence, after a com plete examination of the premises, of any deed of the nature charged hav ing been committed. This report of the committee was sworn to. The preliminary examination of, Messrs. Edwards and Honey took place before Justice- Nettles, on Sat urday. The acting'County Solicitor, Hamilton Mclntyre, Esq., said that after a thorough private examination of the witnesses for the State, he de clined to prosecute the case, believ ing the charge could not be sus tained 'Squire Nettles then proceeded with the -examination Samuel R. Honey, Esq., conducting the defense. The material witness of_ the State was the negro girl, Susan Simmons: She gave at 'first a tolerabhqilain account of the manner' in which the Man Echols was killed, by the ad ministration of chloroform or some thin from a bottle, saturating handkerchief, and apply it to his face; then after death ensued, his being placed in a box, and carried to the cellar. But on- her cross-exam ination it was very plain _that she purjured herself in a number of in stances; that, the case- was not made out by her testimony, that 'she was Swearing falsely, and could not sus tain the role she .had. undertaken. The testimony of one of the witness ea for the defense, Bliss Reynolds, k lady of unquestioned integrity, win; was employed at Colonel Edwards' at the time Susan Simmons 1(11'0113 the murder toole'phice, testified tb no visitor came to the . howie at that time; no we came there to stay all night; that she, did. not know- any one named Echoli; -that_ no oinfof that name had,,b9en to, thO house; and in fact, proving oompletely,.that Susan Simmons Was guilty of perjury.

Edwards had of fers* $2OO reward for her arrest, and that Speed had instructed her just what to swear in court; that if she . swore to just what be told her CoL Edwards Would be ruined, and his (Speed's)liurposes Would be accom plished. LS - ived was in court when Susan gave her testimony against Messrs. Edwards and Honey.] Speed was arrested on the charge of subordination of perjury, and committed to jaiL He gavehiroself a good many airs; . did not wantto be arrested; objected to going- to jail ; strongly objected to being searched; wanted-to be shown into the parlor at the jail, and seriously objected to being' treated as other prisoners are. Hon. Peter Goode, the turnkey, said he never saw a nigger put on so many white-folks airs in his life, and was about to put him in the dungeon for' refusing to give up his valuables. Speed was released fromail on bail on Satur day night, Keifer, 'Brainard, and R. N. Barr i carpet-bag, Senator, being the bondsmen. He was , very busy Sunday going around to see. his carpet-bag breth ren, getting counsel, dc. From the testimony given by Susan before Justice Nettles, on Sat urday, it appears that having been guilty of larceny, she left Col. Ed. wards rather suddenly last Wedens day night a week ago, and went in the country and staid, with a negro woman. designated as Mrs. Morris; that She started to town Friday, and on the way met; Speed, and, she said, talked with him about the matter, and Speed came to town with her; but it has since transpired that she never left town at all, and over a week to arrange the infamous plot with Speed. On Sunday morning a search war rant was issued, and Constable Gra ham searched Speed's house, when quite a quantity of articles which had beep stolen from Mrs. Edwards weie found; among other things, sev eral trunks; cairpet-bags and valises, which neither ; Speed or his wife would own as I their property ) and which are now in charge of the Mar dial. A portion of the goods found were stolen from Col. Edwards' fam ily by the girl, Susan Simmons. Speed thus appears in the ro/6of receiving stolen goods, knowing, them to be stolen, and aiding and abetting theives; and as also guilty of subor dination of perjury, in hiring a wo man to swear away the, life of two respectable citizens on a false charge of murder. After Susan's arrest on . Saturday evening, Speed undertook to intimidate her because she had confessed all about the plot. 'This occurring in Justice Nettles' office, he prumptly stopped it when his at tention was called to. it. • Itis believed by some that al part. of Speed's deep-laid' scheme was to get a box containing a corpse - and place it in the cellar under Col. Ed wards' house on Friday night, so that on an examination of the.prem is64,it would - be found, and thus con firm the story he had so ingeniously concocted for Susan• to swear to:— Under Marshal Scott's directions two policemen were stationed at Col..E.'s house . on Friday night, with orders to let no one go in or out, and to see that nothing waS carried to or from the premises, a nd thus this little game of Speed's-4f such a trick was ' meditated—was blocked. On Thursday night, or FFiday, Cot. Ed wards' dog was poisoned, and died; and it is believed through the instru mentality of Speed or his accomplice Susan Simmons. - TUB was done, no doubt; in order to prevent any alarm being given while carrying out their plot - ';THE TRAGEDY OF _Ltrz.—Life is a monstrous disappointment, and death the only portal to peace.

Ai neighbor coming in, said a nutuher of boys had gone to-the riser to swan, and he thought' Alfred was Safe enough to be with-them. "No," said the mother, "he prom, , 'sed me would not go there without my leave, and he always keeps his word: He never told - me a lie." - • But seven o'clock came, then eight, and another milks still watching and listening for the step of Alfred; but it was half-past eight before his ine.r;. ryshouti and whistle were heard, when-he ran into the gate. "Confess now," said the neighbor; "that you hare been to the river with the other boys, and. so kept away till late." • How the boy's 0-4. flashed, end the crimson mounted to his-cheekst ".tio sir!

The nasal passages are clearly the medium through which respiration was designed by our Creator to be carried on. "God breathed into man's nostrils 'the breath of life " pre vious to his becoming a living crea ture. The difference in the exhaus tion of strength by a long walk with the mouth. is inconceivable to those who have never tried the experbnent. - And indeed, this mischievous and re ally unnatural habit of carrying ou the - work of inspiration and expira tion through the mouth, instead of through the nasal passages, the true origin of almost all the diseases_ of the throat and lungs, as conges tion, asthma, bronchitis, and even consumption itself. That' excessive perspiration to which some persons are so liable in their sleep, which is so weakening to the body, is solely the effect of such persons sleeping with their mouths unchised. • And the same unpleasant and exhaustive results are occasioned to the animal system from walking with the mouth open, instead of, when not engaged in' conversation, preserving the lips inn state of firm but quiet compres sion. - As the action of the hart and velocity of the blood through the lungs depend almost entirely upon theqnantity of the atmospheric air inhaled with each inspiratioryand it is unavoidable that it should be taken in volume, by the mouth, while Atari only be supplied in -moderate quanti ties and just in sufficient -proportion to serve the purpose of healthy me- pirativeaction,while supplied the nostrils, it is clear that Ili d e% l Must: be lighter and cooler; and also the breathing.is much freer and easi er,twhen the latter c!inirserstltu thsli the former one is adeited." . Children ought never to be allowed to stand with their mouths open, for .besides the vanant appeal:awe it gives to' the countenance, - it is the -precursor of coughs, colds and sore throats. - RESISTING TrIITTATION.—A boy WAS once tempted by . some of his' compan ions to pluck ripe cherries from . a ttee which his father had forbidden him to touch. - . "Yon need not - be afraid," raid his companions," for if your father should find vut that you have taken them; he is so kind,he would not hurt you ' "That is,the very reinkio „replied the boy, "why I • would nob touch them. - It is true my father . irould not 'Allah me'; yet my disotidienee„ ;I know, would hurt. myfathar, andthit would be worso to me than g anythin . elie." • iiiiii IA i -{,
