LIFE ACCORDING TO THE CLIMATE AND SEASON.
1t is said that the English in Turkey live exactly
as they do at home, and that in consequence the
health of the troops is fast giving way Even the
officers, who should know better, take long walks
in the middle of the day, and return to dine pro.
fusely on meats and to drink largely of heavy
wines.
This is not the first time, however, that ENGLISH
armies have risked their health, by obstinatey fol-
lowing, in hot and dry climates the habits ACQUIRED
in their native one. The terrible mortality among
British seamen and sailors, on the coast Of Africa
and In the Indies is to be attributed almost entirely
to this disregard of common sense Even intelli
gent Englshmen, when travelling, often display a
similar folly. Educated to believe that nobody
knows how to live except Brton they look down
with contempt on the customs of other nations.
They laugh at what they call the sour wines of the
Frenchnan. They sneer at the vegetable diet of
Spain. They ridicue the East Indian for his rice.
The customs of every people, however are
founded in experience; and wise man. in travel
ing, invariably adopts them The Esquimaux who
lives principally on blubber, owes his extraordinary
capacity to resist cold to the large quantity OF oy
matter he thus takes into his system. The Italian
whose diet is chiefly vegetable, lessons, by this de-
scrption OF food his liability to the fevers of his
climate. The old fashioned Turk, who eschews
ardent spirits and substitutes coffee accommodates
himself, In doing go, to his fervid sky The En-
glishman, who lives in humid atmosphere. re-
quires strong meats.

FAMILIAR NoNsENsEs -How many phrases are
there in common use that seem to mean something
but mean nothing whatever We call LAWYERS for
example, gentlemen of the long robe" yet who
ever saw lawyer in anything of the kind We
say that Judge so or-so wears .'the judicial err.
mine" with dignity, when he does not wear any
erlnne at all. We have seen newspaper reports
of new ships gliding gracefully into her native
element" when all the world knows that ship s
nauve element Is not the sea but the shore. We
are told of the way the tragic actor wears the
sock, and the comic actor the ''buskin," and vet
VINO ever saw either wear either on the stageq-
Gentlemen partial to good living we hear it said
are iond of the bottle" when it is the contents of
that vessel and not the vessel itself they love
dearly. "The jury box" is no box at all, nor does
any court we ever saw sit on bench" And
what, we would respectfully inquire, do the poets
and romancers mean by saying '.the sex, !" when al
luding to the ladies' as II we were of no sex at all
We could extend this list of absurdites but enough
for the present.

Now, the hare is snared, and dead beside the snow

And the lark beside the dreary winter sea.

The LATE Hon. GEORGE c. WAsHINGToN.-Our
paper Yesterday contained brief announcement
ofihe decease OF Col. George G. Washington, of
Maryland who died at his town residence in George
town. D. c., ON the 18th instant after several
months gradual decline. The eminent virtues of
this gentleman and the universal respect in which
ne was held, will not permit him to pass away to
the tomb without some expression responsive to
the public feeling. He was a native of Virginia,
and was at the time of his decease the oldest and
nearest surviving relative of his grand uncle, Geo
Washington. Though, from the warmth OF his
teart emnently social in his tastes and habits Col
Washington never neglected duty; and whether
as member of the House Of Representatives from
his district in Maryland, in which he served
efal years. or as filling the responsible post of
President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or
Commissioner for the settlement of Indian claims
bis duties were performed with faithful attention
and marked ability at the same time his domestic
and social virtues his benevoence his generosity,
and open handed hospitality endeared him to q

1t has been the fortune Of many men to possess
Bound by our atfectionatc regard for the memory
# valued friend to speak of him personally, we
must say that we have never known truer gentle
man. All the attributes Of that high character in its
busiest sense bred in his nature and rendered
him worthy of his honored name and kindred

His remains were followed to the grave yester-

much uufegned sorrow as ever attended any de-
