. Die Tic RULES—ITt is rather amus- * ing to observe how, from time totime, -certain articles of food are vaunted:as - being of great importance in a diétic point of view. /At one time it is fish, -~ then oat meal, then tomatoes, while - milk, crea’EJ, cheese, rye bread, ete., all ‘have their advocates.. One of my. . friends dssures me that no man can _ be healthy who does not- eat plenti- | fuily of salt; another thinks the fat of meat exceedingly strengthening, _ and still another insists upon it that . 'no man can- maintain’ health for any lengthened period without stimulants of some kind. . Now, I maintain that no argument lias yet been put forth in regard to the necessity for certain kinds of food that cannot be disproved by facts. Most Americans and Eng- ¢ lishmen believe that animal food is absolutely necessary for, men taking: strong - museular exercise; yet the " hardy, athletic peasantry of the northern parts of Europe scarcely ever see it. The Russian soldier’s rations con- - sist of black bread, oil and saltjxand very little else; vet he will bear fa‘tigue and privations that would - kill _--an English soldier. The Chillian ‘miners, who undergo tremendous exertign, live exclusively on beans, parch--ed corn and figs. The Kroomen of * the African coast, a’ splendid race of men physically, live on rice, yams and alittle fish. Yet we are told that-one _ dause of the deterioration of eastern _mations is a rice diet. - Dr. Bellows, a ~high authority, thinks that a highly . carbonized diet, such as fat meat, - sweet pastry, milk, etc., prodices a . heavy,lethargiccondition of body and - mind. It may be so in many:cases, _ buf certainily not in all.’ The writer ~islacquainted with a remarkably thin, - brisk, talkative old lady, who -eats nothing but the fat of meat, pudding . and bread from one:year’s-end to another. She sleeps very little, and:is - seldom unwell. fZE‘i%}], says Agassiz . and Dr. Lambert, builds up the brain, - but 1o one, I think, evér heard that ~ people living on the!coast are smarter '#than those who' don’t see fish ten times a year. . “Drink ale and you’ll - think ale,” said an English teacher of { eminence; yet some of our greatest scholars have' been large consumérs - of the beverage. The German peas- - ants—and many of them are remarkable specimens of physical strength—- - live at home on potato soup, potatoes, curdled milk and rye bread, with oc- ~ easionally a little bacon. The Irish _ peasant gets little beyond potatoes and ~ milk,- and though he certainly does { not seerp to love labor (few people do), - yet he is not wanting in muscle.- We _ are told wonderful stories of the phys- . ieal power of the Greek and Turkish

Now all these facts seem to show that no absolute rule can be laid down in. regard to diet. Liebig's belief that the quantity of nitrogen passed from the system indicatea the wasté of muscular tissue, is exploded. - Nitrogenous food plays a less important part in the animal economy than was formerly supposed.- A-certain quantity of it there must-be, but gobeyond a certain point, and it will be found, as those who tried Bantingism discovered, that most serious complications will result therefrom—Mßright’s disease. of the kidneys -among others. The inference, then, that I deduce from all this is, that the -old adage—- “ What is one man’s meat:is another man’s peison,” is pretty nearly true. One person thrivés on rye bread; another must have toast beef. - The high-bred horse wants his oats andfine hay; the Welsh pony, the mule. and the donkey, get fat on ithistles. The difference in the vital powers and nutritive system of different individuals will'alone account for the fact that one man must have (iertain articles of diet to rhaintain health -and strength, while another can do without them. = Hence no rule of diet can be laid down ex¢ept this:- Try-by experiment what best suits you, and adhere to that. ™" [ - o - Jiet me say .a- word,: in conclusion, in regard to' the: manner in which the value of certdin articles of diet is frequently estimated..” Many ignorant persons are apt to think that if a certain kind of food keeps off the feeling of faintness or hunger foralong time, it must, therefore, be very nourishing. This of course is quite wrong, and wanld “involve the acceptance of the absurd theory that a tough beefsteak is more nourishing than a tender one.—Cor. Country Gentlemaa. - ~ - Chauging His Name. .

_ THE CRY OF HARD TIMES. Maa Inclined to Complain With or : : _ Without Cause. (From Frark Buadown’s correspondence to the : * Plymouth Democrat.) e . Hard times, hard times, is the cry everywhere. If you try to sell anything, the answer is “hard times.” If you try to collect'a debt, hard times is all the reply you get. If you offer to pay off that little standing account, the éjaculation is, “How I need it, for it is'hard, hard times, just now.” In | fact, it is many years since the cry of “hard times” was the catch word for every living person, without regaxrd to age, occupation or previous condition of servitude, such as it is now. In 1861, when banks were going to the bad at the rate of 10 per cent. per hour, when “detectors” had to be issued three times a day, in order to keep posted on money, and when a man, after receiving money, had to make all haste to the nearest man he was owing, in order to get the cash all off' his hands before the bank failed entirely, we heard less whining about hard: .times thannow. There was non’? of this universal, canting cry of hard: times then. In 1857, a crop of wheat was considered good if it averaged 15 bushels peracre, while more thantwothirds of the whedt was under 10 bushels. -~ On the Pomeroy farm, one of the best farms in the couaty, the wheat :we&gxged 22 Dbushels, and the Tabor farm, whicli is also among the best, averaged only 915 bushels per ‘acre, and the latter was more than an average throughout the county. Notwithstanding this low average, the ‘price of wheat rangedat 55 to 65 cents per bushel, and for many weeks, it “was utterly inmpossible to get cash for wheat or anything else. Even then there was less crying abow® hard times than now., Phis year, the wheat)‘as far as we have heen able to get iin‘formation, is_making an average of from 10 to. 15 bushels, with a very few exceptions. Corn is not quite ‘ripe enough to crib, consequently is the. catse of some complaint, but it shows a fair average crop ready to:be cribbed’ at the usual time. All the crops will in-all probability be as.good as in former years, while prices are just as good, and in many cases much better than former years, yet every one cries out hard timés.. Why is it? Our financiers, Wm. Allen, Buchanan, ‘Morton, .and‘others have tried to explain by financial reasoning. Some “say too little: some say the money:is in the wrong place; others that there -is nothing to sell to bring money, or that there is.no money to pay for anything you wish to buy. Now a little sober second thought should convince any man that all this confusion .was sheer bosh. There is as much money in the country as there was two or three years ago. Crops, although not extensive, are good. Wheat, corn, oats, potatoes and every other crop, will reach an average the country over. Stock is plenty, and thanks to good pasture, is in good- condition. Prices are good, and when there is a good bargain on hand, the money mys‘teriously turns .from the pocket of some man, who has been complaining of hard times. : Now, what is the matter? It is simply a disease. A disease .of the mind. Man can, by constant tension of the imagination, become sick in reality, and thus it is with the disease “hard times.” The commonwealth have been for the last three years trying to convince them--selves that they were being tricked, deceived, swindled, cheated and driven to the alms-house, until the disease has actually set-in. It has been chronic and contagious. . Every person is ‘affected with it. Everyiperson is not only convinced that he himself is on the verge of bankiuptey, but that his neighbor is in the same financial cendition, and consequently has no confidence in him and is afraid to trust him. Man has lost contidence in him.self and of his fellow, and even those. who had banded together to guard against a common enemy, have lost confidence in each other. Confidenee - between the retail dealer and the purchaser is gone, and every man’s hang is lifted against his fellow. The man [ who "attempts to swim a river and Toses confidence in himself,"will drown, | and go to the bottom. So with busif ness. We have convinced ourselves that times are hard. ~We have cried “wolf, wolf,” until the wolf has come. We are enjoying the fruits-of a panic of our own creating, created only in the imaginative brain, without any real cause. ‘The remedy is easy. Take care of and make use of the crops you have. Make what money you have go as far as you can, at least make it go somewhere, if nowhere else, rather than not get rid of it, pay your debts. Quit hunting the short cut to wealth and nobility, and go back to the overland route. Suppose at least that every man is honest until he proves himself a rogue. Buy where you can buy the cheapest, and-sell for the best figures you can get, and let your dealer take care of himself. Many a family has been ruined by grumbling at them, We ‘have ruined our public men by grumbling; we have brought on a panic by gambling, and now, if we " want to redeem all these things, let us -return-to the ancient landmarks and. all . will be well, and this. great hue and ery about hard times will be dis- - pelled like mist before the morning sun. - 3

The Multiplication of Diseases. -Diseases multiply. One begets another. A trifling indisposition may, therefore, originate a complication of dangerous maladies. Indigestion begets far mare formidable diseases; a multitude of ailments are traceable to constipation ; fever and ague unhinges the entiré nervous system, and is therefore the source of the protean ailments which affect that portion of the human organism. IHostetter’s Stomach §Bitters, however, whether resorted to at the inception of those disorders of the stomach, bowels or liver, which give birth to the majority of diseases andjdisabilities, or taken when they haveripened into formidable maturity, are alike powerful to cure.’ The process of recovery is, of course, longer when the malady has gained headway, but it is none the less certain. Dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kidney complaint and intermittent fever, invariably yield to the operation of the great alterative and invigorant. v n-19-wh. el - BE—— : ¢ : Clear Grit. - - . An honest-faced stranger called on ‘Justice Potter the other day and inquired what His Honor’s usual fee was for joining a couple in the Holy bonds of wedlock. :

_“The fee is two dollars in ease you come here,” was the reply. “Less see,” mused the man as he handed out a voll of bills; *‘there’s three dollars for a second-hand stove, two dollars for dishes, two dollars to run the house on, and—and that’s every blamed cent!”: v : . - “So you are short?” inquired the Justice. “There’s the pile,” replied the young man; “but I'll knock the two dollars off for the dishes and give it to you, for I’ m bound to be harnessed to my. girl this week if we have to bile 'taters in the tea-pot!” . , - And in less than an hour the two were’made one, c The new John the Baptist is the Rev.

. AN INFEATED COCKTAIL. A Chiecago Bar-Keeper Gives Kelley i . aLesson in Finance. | . :xChig:ago Correspondence of New York World.) : Mr, Kelley, whom Mr. Morton does not scruple to call “a gushing tourist,” is out here endeavoring to bring the people of the Northwest to a realizing sense of the necessity for an issue of more, currency. Rather an amusing and interesting occurrence has transpired during his visit which has not found its way into any of the local prints, but that The World many deenm ‘worthy of publication. On the morn-: ing after his great inflation speech: Mr. Kelley' felt athirst, and walking ‘down into the bar of the Tremont ‘House. bade the attendant barkeeper mix him a whisky cocktail. While the barkeeper was compounding the' liquor, sirup, Dbitters, ice, and water in due proportion, he remarked: “You're Senator Kelley, ain’t you?” “I am; but don’t be afraid, young man, don’t be afraid,” affably replied the great statesman. “I' thought you was,” said the artist in liquors; “I hear you make a bully speech last night up to MecCormick’s Hall. Was that all true you told us about them bonds, and more greenbacks, and the other shenanigan, eh ?” “True?” said that apostle of inflation; “of. course it was true. . I am a man of principle, young man, a man of striet prineciple.” “Keereet!” replied the barkeeper, as he poured . the completed cocktail in an amber arch into the glass and filled a tumbler of water. . Mr. Kelley tasted the beverage.— “See here, Johnny,” he said, «“that cocktdil doesn’t rise and take me by the throat so much as it should; I ~want it to be all to me the name implies. Just make it stronger, and give it to me in a bigger glass, will you?” The barkeeper promptly transterred the contentsinto a water-tumbler, and added about twice the quantity of water: 3 > , . Mr. Kelley observed, somewhat testily: “Hello! hello! What are you doing, eh? I wanted a bigger drink, more of a cocktail, you know.” . The barkeeper smiled apologetically, and, begging Mr. Kelley’s pardon, emptied the diluted cocktail into a weiss-beer glass, which, he brimmed with water. There 'was an ocean of fluid faintly tinged with a pinkish amber, on the surface of which floated a shred of lemon-peel. The barkeeper pusbed the glass over to his customer, and, affably resting bdth hands on the ‘counter, asked him- how that suited: him. .. & ' T - Mr. Kelley first rubbed his eyes and then pinched hiniself, to be sure that he was himself aware; then lowered his spectacles and inspected the barkeeper narrowly. “Young man,” he said at last, in his most. solemn tones,’ “do you call that acocktail ?” “Do I call that « cocktail?” he replied, pitying; “what'n blazes do you call it? That’s the best cocktail the world ever saw. There’s: whisky in it, there’s .Angostora bitters in it, there’s - water in it, there’s ice in'it; don’t they make a cocktail? Besides, At’s called a cocktail, just as a dollar is'calledza dollar, and don’t that make it a cocktail? You can do anything Wwith that ‘cocktail that you can do with any other cocktail; you can drink it, you can pay for it; don’t that make it as good as any other cocktail ? “What do you take me for? llavn’t I read your speeches ?” “But,” grasped Mr. Kelley, growing very red in the face, “there’s too much water in it.” . - 1 !

“Too much water!” rejoined.the barkeeper. “Why, you must have so much water in a cocktail, anyhow, mustn’t you? You get your whisky like what ‘you financial sharps call a reserve, and then you issue your cocktail on that basis. You see, you have an elastic cocktail—a cocktail that adapts itself to the wants of the customer. If he wants! a strong. drink he don’t want much water; if he wants a long drink I'll inflate his cocktail till its ¥olume equals his necessities. I tell you I've studied up this here financial problem.” - vy “But, but,” stammered Mr. Kelley, “there isn’t a drop. more whisky all the while, and every drop of water you add weakens and spoils it.” * “That can’t be,” rejoined the barkeeper. “It’s just likeifinance. Whisky’s wealth and eocktail’s currency.— If you can expand your. currency without any .increage of your wealth and do no harm, why can’t you inflate this coektail up to a hogshead €ull and let ‘all them bummers out in the street have a-good square nip ?” ; “You don’t understand,” replied Mr. Kelley. @ “It’s. different in financial matters.. Then, there is the relief afforded by my 3.65 interconvert——.” “I know it, I know it,” briskly answered .the barkeeper; “I tell you, Mr. Kelley, your head’s level. Now, here is my interconvertible cocktail.” Thus saying, he poured half of the contents of the weiss-beer. glass into another weiss-beer glass; then continued: “Now this tumbler is the bonds, and this tumbler is the greenbacks. When you want a long drink, you pour into this tumbler as much out of the other cne as you want; if you want. a short drink, you pour some out of this tumbler into the other ome. It’s a big thing.” Mr. Kelley was in despair.. The barkeeper continued: -

“You seé, I want to return to a whisky basis, but I wish to do so without injury to the business interests of the country. Now, if you will wait till the water evaporates and leaves, the whisky —.” ‘ Here Mr. Kelley smote the counter with his cane; “Look here,” he shouted, “in spite of our expanding the volume of that .drink, and' humbugging me with - your idioti¢c intereconvertible : cocktails, and talk about returning to a whisky basis without deranging my interests, don’t you see, you howling ass, that that’s the same weak, thin, diluted, mawkish, tasteless, abominable slush, all the time? I want an - immediate return to whisky resumption, and no steps backward?l o i

“Keerect, Judge,” replied the barkeeper as he threw the inflated cocktail into the sink, “we’ll repudiate this; as they always do.”, And he mixed another cocktail on a whisky basis.— “But,” he said, “s’pose you*hadn’t had another fifteen cents, or that all the whisky in the house had:-been in that cocktail, where’d you have been, eh?” Mr. Kelley ‘smiled, and “invited the barkeeper to - join him. The latter complied and took a little gin, syrup and bittets. Mr. Kelley drank off his cocktail, paid for the drinks, and taking a clove was about to depart, when an after-thought seemed to occur to him. He turned back and said:

“See here, Johnny, you are a smart young - fellow, and I’ve enjoyed. your conversation very much. But, then, you see the—ah! the financial problem ‘is a thing that people can’t exactly understand in all its ramifications without a special education, a training, you know. Of course, it affects all people, but all people can’t .understand it; it isn’t to their interest. that they should. If everybody knew all about it there’d be 100 Kelleys and Logans and Inter-Oceans and Enqguirvers. It’s like cocktails, you know. Every man drinks them, but every man can’t mix them. If they could there’d be no barkeepers. Understand? - And, Johnny, perhaps you'd better not say anything about this little conversation of ours to anybody. You see perhaps it would hurt the business of the house, and the proprietors don’t like to have politics discussed. Good;f)ye."y o o “Go-long,” remarked the barkeeper, and, as the judge’s form vanished up the stairway, he closed one eye respectfully, 'and took three jig-steps with an expression of the deepest revgrenee, o o s

Peaches.. - . The immense peach crop- of the East has glutted the home market and compelled produecers to look to distant quarters. Theexperiment of:shipping them to the West is meeting with only partial success, owing to ‘the heavy freights and the risks of transportation. A still bolder experiment is _about to be'made, in an attempt to supply the English market. An otean steamer will sail for Liverpool in a few days, carrying, with other cargo, 2,500 boxes of prime peaches. The fruit will be préserved by a new process of refrigerating. A compartment is fitted upin the forward part of the vessel, in which the boxes of peaches ‘will be iso arranged as to afford a small open space for the air to circulate entirely around each box. All animal heat will be excluded, and ice in small vaults will be acted upon by mechanical force, and a current of dry, pure air will pass gently around the boxes of.peaches at a temperature of thirty-three to thirty-five degrees.— The air is kept in slow but constant motion, and is used over and over by _passing in a circuit -between the fruit house_and the small ice vaults in which it 1s cooled to near the freezing point and purified, ready for a renewal of duty among the boxes of peaches, - The air is kept near the freezing point and made very dry. The wastage of ice is greatly economized under thenew process. If, asis claimed, the peaches can be landed as fresh as when-placed on board, the enterprise may prove very remunerative and the peach market be greatly enlarged.

. Tur American Comnstitutional Union, a German organization of Wisconsing which is said to comprise most of the voters of that nativity in the State, has issued, through a committee composed of five German editors, a declaration of principles calling for the vigorous enforcement of the provisions of the national Constitution, a tariff for revenue, specie payments, separation of Church and State, the preservation of the integrity of school funds and a eadtious exercise of the legislative power of exemption from taxation; also expressing gratification at the downfall of prohibition in the State,-and disapproving of the action of certain town boards of excise in refusing to grant licenses. .

_ A private letter from Congressman M. C. Kerr, now in Colorado, to his son, states that the affection of the throat which troubled him somewhat during the canvass of last year has almost wholly passed away, and that his restoration’ to health is complete. Mr. Kerr will return to his' home in New Albany about the first of October, remaining there until the opening of Congress. ; & o

After @all, the consolidation of the Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific telegraph companies is not to take place very soon; and the threatened monopoly will not occur at présent. : o b

The advertising patronage of the paper indicates not only the enterprige of the: town and the county where it is published, but it is also an infallible proof that the business men are possesséd of vimand go-ahead-ativeness. Show us a‘business community that don’t advertise, and welll show you a community where bnsiness is stagnated. ‘The man who advertises in a libéral, yet dig‘;creet manner, is sure to take the ]?nd of his neighbors who don’t #pend a cent for printer’s ink. It is also conceded that a man who advertises Keeps afllarger and better and more complete stock of goods, and rells cheaper -than the man who don’t advertise.
