GERMAN HEALTH The Germans are seldom
affected with consumption. The reason of this
is said to be that their lungs acquire strength
by exercise In vocal music, which constitutes
an essential part in their education To this
Is also added much Muscular exercise an
frequency in the open air. 1t is sort of n
religious duty with the Germans to spend 4
portion of their time in the gymnasium. The
volume and strength Of their lungs is sttri-
butable quite as much to their muscular -
vocal exercise. Whoever has large anu
strong lungs need never fear consumption,
whether he be German or not There is much
however, TO be learnt from the Germans, in a
physical point of view. They are q social,

MANUFACTURE OF NEWS.

We have heard of papers, both on this and
the other side of the Atlantic, which were sus-
pecied to be much in the habit of getting their
foreign correspondence manufactured TO order
in their own little sanctums BY certain ingenious
aud imaginative gentlemen kept constantly on
hand for that purpose but, if we may credit
the Berlin correspondent of the London Times
everything hitherto achieved in this way is com
pletely cast into the shade by what is now ac-
complished in Paris.
Partisan editors are an enthusiastic class Of
indusrials; they have sci their hearts on peace,
and while they wait impatienlly for the tardy
revelations Of diplomatst relative thereto, they
consider it no crime, according to our authority
TO perpetrate few Pious frauds in ord to make
The advent Of peace seem the more certain, and
her prospects the more brilliant. There is es-
tabllshed in connection with ain ost every French
metropolitan paper laboratory of epistoldry and
felegrGPhie communication, whence issue, daily
the most cheering accounts of the progress of
matters at ST. Petersburg.
Neither remoieness of situation nor severity
OF season, neither geographical difficulties nor
hibernal distractions, neither autocratic ukases
nor policemen's astuteness can cause DELAY or
disappointment in their case. Ordinary cores
pondenls in vain complete with them, and the
favored jewellers on the banks The Neva know
less Of the secrets of the Russian Cabinet than
do these daring and interchangeable Frenchmen.
Over physics and politics they are alike triumph
ant. Berlin lies some two hundred miles nearer
to the Russian capital than Paris. In the most
favorable Summers letters and newspapers never
reach ii from ST. Petersburg in less than sir
days-in Winter they generally take eight. -
But though the mails from ST Petersburg require
almost f'oo days more, 10 any season, to reach
the French, than the Prussian metropolis, our
enterPrising Partisan editors nevertheless con
trlve at present to obtain, and to publish, long
and Interesting communications from 81 Pcters-
burg, relative to peace, only fire days after date

Nor is this the only extraordinary fact con-
cernlpg the French metropolitan Press. Those
that follow are equally unique and singular

No person resident ia Russia dare send by

difference Of opinion and diplomatic discussion,

does nature, space or politics. According to
these gentlemen, the loalhsome ingredients Of
that disiasieful dose have been as readily and
as cheerfully swallowed by ALEXANDER, as if
they were Of the most agreeable and delicious
favor. The cup, they assure US, has been
drained by him to the dregs, and so pleased has
he been with the medicine, that even before
preliminares of peace have been signed, and

tually dispatched orders to his General in the

In order to meet the demands upon the state
