lowing remarks in reference to the new
Postmaster General:
"Thc Senate having confirmed the

uation of Postmaster General, which
he has filed with so much advantage
to the country and with such distin-
guishcd ability since the accession Of.
Fillmore to the Presidential Offices
whcrcupon the President nominated
Hon. Samuel D. Hubbard, Of Middie45
town. Connecticut, to fill the vacancy
thus created, which met. the assent and
ready acquicsccnce Of the Senate. Mr.
Hubbard, like Mr.. Hall. is a thorough8
going business man, possessing a strong.
vigorous mind, and character for
honor and rectitude, which no one calt
doubt or question. He represented
the second Congressional district of
Connecticut III tic goth and Both Cons
grcsscs, and was at the latter placed

The scarcity OF Bread In Germany.

The New York Courier says:-
Famine, it would appear, is threaten
ing Germany in earnest. The ac-
counts from Poland is most disheart.
ening. In the Carpathians the peo-
pie are literally starving. There is
no bread a; all. The inhabitants are
living on a soup Of some kind, which
they call "reitkamuka," a compound
Of fat and milk; or they cook a sort
Of thick oaten pap, something in ap-
pearance like the Italian polenta-
this they call "kulasha," and eat it in
the place Of bread. As in al! times
Of great want, crime and designations
Of all kinds come TO swell the list OF
horrors. 1t is not surprising to learn
that anarchy is raging in the districts
most effected BY the famine. The
men, callous and desperate, get at
the fiery Brantwein Of the country,
and murders Of the weak and de-
fenceless naturally succeed. In con-
sideration Of the high price Of pota-
toes, concurrently with the general
dearth of provisions, the Govern
ment OF the Grand Duchy OF Hesse
has forbidden the consumption of
potatoes in the distillation OF spirits.
Troubles and bad government
have superinduced these Affections.
"The humble classes. being deprived |
Of all heart and energy" saws a cor
respondent, shave left their fields
for miles, lest the rude |
hands of some hateful soIdiery should |
seize or destroy the fruits OF their
labor. The consequence Of this is
very like famine in
many parts Of Europe.
Yet in the face of the preceding
Tacts, the prices of corn on the conti-
nent are either stationary, or have
received check. Spectators, how
ever, do not regard a fall as lasting.
They are looking with interest to
Germany, whose wants, they think,
will regulate the future demand, and
rates.

EXPANDING The CHEsF.-Those iu
any circumstances, who purchase
sedentary employment within doors
use their lungs but little, breathe
but little air in the chest, and thus
independently Of positions, contract
a wretchedly small chest and
lay the foundation OF the loss OF
health and beauty. All this can be
perfectly obviated by a little atten-
ton TO the manner Of breathing, rec
ollect, the lungs are like bladder in
their structure and can be stretched
open TO double the size with perfect
saietv, giving a noble chest and per-
feet immunity from consumption.
The agent and only agent requir-
ed, is the common air we breathe,
supPosing, however, tha, no obstacle
exists, external to the chest, such as
tying il around with stays, or having
the shoulders lie upon it.
On rising from the bed, in the
morning, place yourself in an erect
posture, with your chest thrown
back, and shoulders entirely off from
the chest: now inhale all the air you
can, so as to fill your chest 10 the
very bottom Of it, so that no more
air can be got in, now hold your
breath and throw vopr arms oGs h.
hind--hold your breath as long as
possible. Repeat those long breaths
as many times as you please. Done
in a cold room it is much better, be-
cause the air is much denser, and
will act much more powerfully in
expanding the chest. Exercising
The chest in this manner, il will be-
come flexible and expansible; and
will enlarge the capacity and size Of
he lungs.-iScientifc American.

LATE AND INTERESTING FROM CHI
NA.-By advices from China TO the
10th of December, via California, We
learn that the piracieS are frequent
in the neighborhood Of Hong Kong,
and that the China seas have been
visited by one or two severe ty-
Phoons. AT Ningpo the cholera was
very prevalent and fatal among the
Chinese. The rice crop. notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather,
was very abundant and prices lower
than they have been for years. The
revolution in the north is making
fearful strides, although the govern
ment has hundred thousand troops
in the field. The rebels had taken
OF the chief city Of the
Yung g-gen district, alter a desperate
battle, in which the government
troops were defeated. The insur-
gents subsequently, beheaded large
Of citizens. Various other
defeats Of the government forces are
recorded. In fact the whole coun-
try seems to be in a stale OF insur>
rection, attended by rapine and mur-
Ter.

I CoNsUMPTToN.-Staiisiics BY The
American Medical Association repre-.
sents that in the city OF Boston, du.
ring the three wears from 1916 to
lS49, there were 6,SSS deaths from
consumption alone, while in the
same period the deaths from typhus
fever were only 2.S26. and those
from dysentery only l,606. In the
five years from 1874 to lS49, there
were in Massachusetts 1904 deaths
from diseases Of the respiratory sys-
tem-30 per cent, of the whole
mortality. In Lowell, in every TO-
600 deaths $500 are from lung dis
eases. According 20 the lately
published registration OF mortality
in Massachusetts,, there were in lS49,
1854 deaths from diseases Of the
respiratory organs; a greater num-
Der, by thousands, than were caused
by the diseases Of any other set of
organs.
Ii will be seen from statistics like
these, that consumption is very pro-
perly called the "Scourge Of New
England" Cholera, small pox, and
all other epidemic and infectious dis
eases combined have never been,
and will probably never be, such
causes OF Geath.as this one disease of
consumption.
1t is evident TO any thinking man
hat these terrible results flow
from fatal mistakes in living. New
England has no fatal miasms, com
no squalid poverty, and,
necessarily, no unhealthy food
Dur territory is covered with COM
,ortaOle dwellings, our hills rejoice
lnder the purest Of air, vegetable /
md animal come to a healthy ma
urity for the food Of man, and the
of clothing are abundant.
Where lies the secret of the destroy
IT?
In our opinion, the answer TO this
question lies in skins debiliafed in
stove heat, 10 such an
xtent as to make them susceptible
o the influence OF every otherwise
Iealthy breeze, and TO every change
n the atmosphere. There is no
daptation of clothing TO temPera-
ure, and there is, in every country
own, system of living in Teeking
itchens, sitting with their heat and
team, that is adapted exactly, to the
reduction of pulmors diseases.

Horace Greedy saws Of ,ha nsniri

Horace Greely says Of the "spiril
rappings," in The Tribune, that
"ClairvOyance, so far as we have had
opportunity for observation. is mol
reliable, but often marred by freaks
and blunders.--Our present impress
sion is, that most of the so called
spiritual manifestations pertain to
the broad and mystic realm Of Clair
voyance, Electrical Psychology, or
whatever if NAV be called, and do
not emanate from spirits in the in
visible world, as has been by many
believed.n

The ravages Of the Curculio hav,
, constituted subject Of complain
and regret, among pomologists, in ali
parts OF the country, and especially
in northern Ohio. Ii has become
the settled conviction Of many minds
that the attempt to cultivate the
Plum in these parts, might as we'll be
abandoned in despair. But, to the
Persevering, almost all things are
possible, and we would suggest that
rather than yield 10 paltry insect,
the friends Of improvement, and low
ers OF good fruit, had better try a
few common sense experiments.
A resort to the expense of paving
a considerable space under the trees,
is hardly consistent with prevailing
notions Of economy, and but COM
Paratiyely lew have adopted that
plan. And the process q tarring
the trees, at the proper season OF the
year. and causing the insects to fall
down upon the cloth, and thin gath
er up for destruction, is at best la
borious, dIsagreeable, and precarious
way Of getting at the object.
Our attention has been directed 10
this matter, and our hopes somewhat
excited, by an incidental remark
made by Mr.. Pomeroy OF the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, at an agricuI-
tural meeting held in the State House
in Boston, a few. weeks since; a re-
port OF which we find in the Ne,o
England Farmer of March Is. He
fenced in piece Of land as Henery,
and set out his trees there, and found
they would grow about twice as fast
as those outside, and the fruit was
much better. He plows the henery
in the spring and the fowls keep it
light the rest OF the season. The
object in having the trees in the hen
cry, was TO allow the fowls to de-
slroy the borer and curculio. He
has TO "shOrten in" his trees every
year, they grow so very fast.
This strikes US as a feasible plan,
and certainly the expense of an ex-
pertinent, on a moderate scale, could
not be great. The height of fence
for henery need not ex-
ceed six feet and half, and to en-
close half acre in that way need
not cost much more than an ordina-
ry fence. Two advantages would
probably result from it. First fowls
would be furnished with ample ac-
commodations; and second, acting
as the natural scratching guardians
OF fruit trees, they would more than
pay the expenses. As this is a SUBJ
Iect OF great Importance, we COM
mend it to the consideration Of our
intelligent readers.

The FIELD OF CHALMErTE.-The
Legislature of Louisiana has recently
appropriated $4,000 toward the
erection, on the old Place d'Armes
in New Orleans, Of a bronze statue
OF General Jackson. During the
debate on the subject, a member
proposed an appropriation of $4,000
10 build a shaft on the battlefield, so
as to designate and mark, in all time
TO come, the sceEe OF Jackson's
noblest military achievement. The
gentleman making the proposition
stated, that, in consequence of the
rapid progress of improvements in
this country. it had become difficult
to recognize the spot on which the
battle took place. This the New
Orleans Delta denies, and adds:
The surface Of the country in the
vicinity of Jackson's lines on the Slh
of January, 1915, has undergone
less change than the scene OF any
battlefield in the United States. il
is true, there is great monotony in
the features of the whole narrow
strip of lard on the left bank of the
Mississippi, below the city. The
fields are all laid off in the same
direction, the bitches run the same
way, the lands are cultivated to the
same distance toward the swamp, the
houses are built and the gardens or
namented in the same style. But
little change has passed over the
country since 1915. 1t produced as
much then as it does now; sugar
was the chief product then, as it is
now. The bulwark thrown up by
the British on the 2Sth of December,
1914, was made chiefly with sugar
oarrals, full of sugar, which were
taken from the sugar-house Of Mr..
Chalmette and others, planters.-
The place where the battle was
ought can be easily designated
The old chateau, in which Jackson
lad his quarters, still remains. The
litch--a paltry affair, which any
yood jumper could leap over in 1915
may be clearly traced. The spot
where Packenham fell can be pointed
'ut. Near it is a pecan tree, under
which, it is said, he breathed his last, ,
whose fruit. il is an old Creole SUPER !
tition, has been red ever since
here, too, are the gnarled old live
AXIS in the centre of the field, still
CARED and marked with the prints of
annon balls and shells. And there, {

md an old negro, who can amuse
-ou by the hour with his reminis-
ences Of the battle, and at the close ;

Burke, in the "Anecdotes of the
Peerage," says-"It has often oc-
cured to US that a very interesting
paper might be written on the rise
and fall of English families. Truly
does DIR. Borlase remark, that "the
most lasting house have only their
season, more or less, of a certain
constitutional strength; they have
their spring and summer, sunshine
glare, their wane, decline, a n d
DEATH" Take, for example, the
Plantagenets, the Staffords and the
Nevilles, the three most illustrious
names on the roll Of English nobili-
ty. What race in Europe surpassed,
in royal position, in personal achieve

and vet we find the great grandson
of Margret Plantagenet, daughter
and heiress of George, Duke of Clar-
ance, following the craft of a cob
bier in the little town of Newport
in Shropshire, in the year l63S.-
Besides, if we are to investigate into
the fortune of many of the inheri-
tors of the royal arms it would soon
be discovered that "the aspiring
blood of Lancaster" had sunk into
the ground. The princeIy streams

Cooper's-bank near Dudley, and
among the defendants of Thomas

mention Mr.. Stephen James Penny,

A Bold AvOwnI.

Commodore Stockton, the Senator in
Congress from New Jersey, is among
the numerous Locofoco aspirants to the
Presidency. He was elected as Dem.
ocrat to his present post, by the Demo.
cratic Legislature Of that State. The
Commodore embraced the occasion OF
Mr.. Webster's visit TO Newark, N. J., to
make j speech to the Legislature. II
was singular production. He avows
himself in favor of tariff of protection,
and saws that the interests of New Jer-
sey require change in our tariff system.
He congratulates his State that she nolo
has somebody in the Senate that can
speak in her behalf.
But the most singular avowal. we
copy below. We know that Cass STAR
ted in public life Federalist, and that
Buchanan remained till after the war of
1910, an open, avowed member of that
party. But this is our first information
on the question of the gallant Commo-
dore's early politics. Hear him:
"TAese may seem queer sentiments
coming from me, if | did not belong to
the young and progressive school. l

I was brought up in the straightest sects
of federalism. My father was Fed
eralist; | was one. He was the COM
peer of Washington, and Of Hamilton,
and other great men of those times
He loved them when they lived and
loved their memory when dead, and it
was his religion to follow in the footsteps
of Washington, wherever they led. II

done as they did. A purer band of pa
triots and more honest men never lived.

their graves. Those are the men whose
principles are my principles"
