A quarter of a century ago the use of cpium in Albany was meagre as comparcd with to day. Taers were at that time but about 350 pourds of was about 57,000 and the consumpe tion of opium about forty-three grains per annum to every ivhabitant, while the rate of morphine was less than three grains a year to each person. aunual ¢oms crepe un to 5500 pounds, and mor- phia to 6500 ounces. This large in- crease iu the consumption of these drugs cannot_entirel; be charged to the increaso in the sity's population By, beon .50, while the iucrease of the sale of opium during that time has been 900 per cent., and morp'iia 1,100 per cont., making a tofal f thees two drugs of 2,000 per cent. ina quarier of a century, or 206 grains of opiom and 24 grams of morphine to every of these drugs, between 400,000 and 500,000 morphia pills are throughout the city in a year. pills contain from one-tenth to ove- quarter of a graln of aviece. Taking on an estimate 450,- 000 pills as the average anaual con- of a grain spicce, would make the morphine in_them weigh 170 ounces. Opium pills also have a large sale, but not half so many are scld as of the alialoid. Tt is estimated by men up in the many morpiine pills sld as any other kind. Of the 3509 pounds of opium dis- posed of 1a this city annually, carefal inquiry made by & Journal reporter reveals tha fact that fuliy one quarter is cousumed by paopls in its native sata. The remaining three-quarters used in making the d/ff:rent opi- ates, 'he largest proportion beirg used the preparation of laudanum. One druggiat statos that where twenty-fiva yoars ago he mads it by the gallon, ho now prepares it by the tarrel. A quarter of a century ago an opium- eater was a rarity; to-day the number is large and on the increace. Fully four-fifths of the opium-eaters are women, Thess eaters eventually ex- hibit nervousne:s. The skin becomes shriveled and the complexion assumes a saffron hue, At times the eater has cold sweats and nauses, besides num- erous other kindred ills. A LIBERAL OFFER.

Itis freely stated in land leaguo ciccles that Members of the prosent panes are so rigidly ¢ Boycotted” that they are not ion to answer to their in & pos names. The line of defense which has been sketched by Mr. Mictael Davitt, who, more than by other man, is authorized to speak for the league, is to deny the league's responsibility for the recent agrarian outrages and to fortify their denial by quoting press statements, and to show further that, notwith- standing the sufferings and distress through which Ireland has passed, the percentage of attacks upon indi- viduals is unusually small.

Thisgave rise to an excited discuss in wh ch the attorney-general argned against the “claim of the defense, and intimated that if the latter wera allowed challengos, they woul usa them and taus overthrow the pos. sibLity of getting a j iry from the pre- sent panel.
