YEARLY FooD OF ONE MAN.-From the
army and navy diet scales of France and
England, which Of course, are based npon
recognized necessities Of large numbers Of
men in active life, it is'asserted that about
two aud one-fourth pounds Of dry food per
day, are required for each individual. Oi
this, about three fourths are vegetables
the rest animal. At the close Of the en-
tire year, the amount is upwards Of 800
pounds. Enumerating under the title Of
water all the various driuks--eofee, tea,
wine, alcohol, &c--its estimated quantity
is about 500 pounds per annum. That
for the air received by breathing may be
taken at 500 pounds. With these figures
before Us, says the Medical Hiorid, we are
able to see how tue case stands. The food,
water and air which a man receives,
amount in the aggregate to more than
5000 lbs year; that is to any about ton
and half or twenty times his weight.
This enormous quantity may well attract
our attention to the expenditures of ma
terial necessary to support life. a living
being Is the result and representation oi
charge on prodigious scale.

Hear The Fathers of ihe Reaablic.

A frequent recurrence to the iundameu
tai principles Of oar government and tht
views entertained at the time Of its orga
nizption, by the sar.s and patriots who
framed and established IT, is absolutely
necessary to a complete and thorough m
dcrS'auding of its nature aud true charac
ter, and this is rendered the more apparent
since the decision Of the Supreme Court o.
the United States in the Drcd Scott case
We have, on former occasions, given
the opinions Of Attorney General William
Writ, and some others, in relation TO the
important points decided in the Scott case
which went to show conclusivcIy, that the
opinion given by Chief Justice Taney was
no ae'c doctrine in this country; and we
now introduce as another witness, the
Father of his Country" Gen. George
Washington himself
In the very first Naturalization Laws,
passed by Congress in 1890, and signed by

MORE FUss THAN FEATHER A Philadel-
phia paper contains the following under
the head Of Police fsa<
As Mrs. Esther Stansbury, residing in a
court running from Race, below Sixth
street, was about to bring bucket Of
water from the hydrant Lust night, she
found an old basket suspended from the
knob of the front door, Putting her hand
into the basket she felt something alive and
kicking, but so wrapped up in rags, that
no farther discovery could be made without
unwrapping the object. A piece Of paper,
folded like a letter, lay by the side Of the
animated bundle. Mrs. Stansbury imme-
diately returned into the house, and by the
light Of the lamp examined the billet. 1t
was directed to her husband. She tremu-
iOusly broke the seal and read as follows.
80 Joe Stansbury: 2
"Sir--I send you the baby, which you
will please take good care Of, and bring up
right, so that it may turn ont to be bet
ter man than its daddy. Oh, Joseph, what
q sly old rake you arel Who would think
that such sober old spindleshanks could
be such tearing down sinner? The child
is yours-yOn may swear TO that. Look

Mr. Stansbury was in tho hassm.n,

A Big WEDDING.-The fashionable world
of Louisville is on tiptoe at the prospect of
a wedding in high life, which is to take
place in the quiet vale of Pee-Wee, on
Thursday. A popular young gentleman
is to lead to the hymenial altaer one of the
most charming bells of this vicinity-no
less parsonage than the granddaughter
of the departed sage of Ashland. A spe-
cial train of cars has been engaged to con
Vey large party of guests from this city.
and the preparations are upon scale OF
magni6cence commensurate with the I'M
portance of the event-LouisriHe Dem.

CoHILLE MINEs.-We invite the atten-
ton of oar readers to our correspondence
from this glttering region in to.day's issue
That the commodity is profnse there and
to be had, is beyond question. We were
yesterday shown by Mr.. Friendly, of the
firm of Sellers & Friendly, one hundred
and eighty ounces of gold dust, bought by
them Of +. Wolfe, and fresh from the Col
vile mines. The dust is in coarse scales
and pronounced superior to the Yreka dust,
and but little inferior to the Jacksonville
gold, than which there is none better. The
danger from Indians is, we are credibly in
formed, greatly exaggerated, and in these
days when the soul is so often and appar-
entity SO cheerful risken for the acquisition
of dust it looks like bagaielle to seem so
charly of the operations Of the red men.
However, it is well in such cases, at all
events, to put your trust in The revolver
and keep your powder dry.-OmgoH Times.

Of this place, was lying at the pOi1t ofdedth

the I'd inst at that place. The soldier was

LIPE.-How strange is life-so short,
and yet SO full of changing scenesl 1t
seems more like a feeting dream than a
reality. Yet it is real aud it is earnestl
Life is made up Of succession Of joys and
sorrows, lights and shades. To-day some
thing, perhaps, may occur to Gil our hearts
with the most buoyant hopes, and all be
light and joyous. But, alasl how short is
lifel To-morrow's dawning may bring the

How TO GET A SEAr.--A few weeks ago
an old gentleman and his-lady were com-
ing down from Iowa City TO Davenport
when the cars were crowded A young
man got up and gave the old lady a seat
while his companion, another Young gent,
remained steadiast, and let the old gentle
man stand. This did not suit our old
friend, 50 he concluded to get a seat in
some way, aud, quick as thought, turned
to the young man on the seat beside hi;
wife and said Will you be so kind n:
to watch that woman while get seat in
another car? She has fits" This started
the young gent. lie could not bear the
idea of taking care of fifty old woman
so the old gentleman got seat, and hi,
wife never was known to take ct after
wards.

AcroRs' SALARIEs.--The Baltimore
American says:

AcroRs' SALARlEs.--The Baltimore
American says:
The terms of actors and vocalists vary,
of course, according to their merits in the
first place, and the appreciation of those
merits by the public in the next. Jenny
Lind can commend higher price, per
haps, for single night than any living
vocalist Of her day. Even now an enter
prising manager might secure ho service
for the United States, and give her a
thousand dollars night, for fifty or one
hundred performances. Adelaide Ristori
and Mile Rachel are tho greatest living
actresses of the Old World, and are paid
the highest terms. In the United States
Mr.. Forrest stands at the head Of his pro.
fessiou, and his success for a period of up
wards oftwenty years has been remarkable
indeed!G d!G-Miss Heron realized something
like eight thousand dollars during her re
cent engagement in New York, and Mis-
Davenport has already accumulated q
handsom fortune. According to the New
York Sunday Times, Mr.. Forrest receives
two hundred and fifty dollars per night, or
at the rate Of seventy eight thousad dollars
"a year. 1t should be remembered, howey-
er, that he seldom plays six months in the
year. Nine Lagrange commands some
thing like thirty thousand a year.
