Contem porary Review. THIS TO PREVENT SEASICKNESS. A New York Doetar Preenrlbes Mixed Pep tone, Sherry and Cracked Ioe. A New York physician has originated a novel preventive for seasickness, which has the advantage of being simplo and seemingly sure. At all events, it was tried with marked snccens upon a young woman who is always affected by the comparatively slight motion of sound stoamors and railroad trains. In her case, after two doses, she was able to bear without inconvenience the rolling beyond Sandy Hook and the subsequent tonsings of the voyage. The remedy is tho administration every half hour of two spoonfuls of pep tone in sherry, cooled by pouring over cracked ico. The theory of this is no less interesting than the done itself. The young doctor argues that tho swallow ing of frequent small quantities of pre digentcd and slightly stimulating food produces a sedative effect upon tho stomach and counteracts tho jouncing brought about by the incessant and vio lont motion of a ship at sea. Other doctors have quite lately in Tented a seasickness cure consisting of cocaine or bromides, the latter in large doses, these being given with tho design of dulling the stomach, as it wero, and so preventing nausea. But it cannot be learned that any actual results have been attained in this way New York Herald. Englishmen Who Traveled. Where one Englishman traveled in tho roigus of the firm two Georges ten now go on a grand tour. "Indeed," says a contemporary writer, "to such a pitch is the spirit of traveling come in the kingdom that there- is scarcely a cit izen of large fortune but takes a flying view of France, Italy and Gormany iu a summer's excursion." Gibbon wrote from Lausanne describing tho crowd of English who were .Already thronging the beautiful shores 6t Lake Lenian. An interesting scries of hints to "persona traveling from Britain to France" ap peared in The Gentleman's Magazine for the year 1788. From them we gath er that no such thing was to be had in France as ready furnished lodgings and that it was impossible to board in "genteel family," and extremely diffi cult to get into "genteel company." The author adds the remark that "this keeping of good company is attended with some expense a man must game, be moat keep a carriage, and he must dress according to the fashion. "Corn hill Magazine.

On benches so placed as to command a good view wero tho buyers, coarse looking Turks, whose calm, searching gaze seemed to tako in every detail. The merchant conducting the sale stood before them, talking and gesticulating with great vehemence. Ho turned to one of tho pens, which was filled with young Circassian women, most of whom wore very handsomo. They wero soated close together on tho ground in an atti tudo of listless despondency, their white garments flowing around thorn, and, as they gazed up at me with their sad. dark eyes, I folt painfully how they must envy the free and happy stranger who came to look on thorn in their in famy aud misery. The slave trader came forward, fol lowed by a phlegmatio looking Turk, and, seizing one of tho women by tho arm, forced her to stand up before this man, who, it appeared, wished to buy hor. He proceeded to inspect her, very much in the same manner as ho might have examined a horso or a dog, and his decision was unfavorabla He turned away with a contemptuous movement of the head, and the slave merchant, in a rage, thrust bock tho unfortunate girl, who sank down trembling among her companions in captivity. This scone was as much as we could stand, and we left the placo hurriedly at once. It is well indeed that such sights can be wit nessed no more, at least in Europe, Blackwood Magazine, Blaekbnra and Blair. They tell a good story in Washington on Joe Blackburn. He had an exciting argument in a senatorial cloakroom at Washington several years ago as to the relative value of brandy and whisky as man's greatest boon. In the midst of the argument the stoioal prohibition Senator Blair of New Hampshire en tered the room. Forgetting the well known total abstinenoe tendencies of the New Englander, Senator Blackburn appealed to him to settle the dispute. "I do not know the difference between whisky and brandy, " replied Senator Blair, with a face as passive as a Jap anese doll. After Blair had departed Blackburn's eyes actually moistened with sympathy as he shook his head sadly and said: "Poor old man I His stomach must be in awful shape. " ew York Tribune.
