Eg bred Scott was formerly the slave
of Dr. Emerson Of Missouri, who died sew
eral years since. John F. A. Sanford, of
this city (reeently deceased) was his exec
utor, and we presume did in that capacity
what he believed his duty as an honorable
upright man. Finding bred Scott emu
merated among the legal chattels of the
deceased, he resisted the claim of bred to
be declared free by law, and the Courts OF
Missouri and Of the United States have
we think most njustly-oyerrpled Dred's
claim to be his own master. We do not
know that anybody ever blamed Mr.. San
ford for his course in the premises.
Mrs. Emerson, the widow of DR.. Elmer
sop, is now the wife of the Hon. G. c.
Chaffee, an Anti-Slavery Member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts, and, with her
daughter, Miss Emerson, inherits the prop
erty of her deceased husband. We pre-
sumo the larger portion goes TO the dangh-
ter, the smaller 10 the mother; but we
know nothing on that subject. But, until
the executor shall have concluded his la
hors in the promises the estate is that of
the deceased DIR. Emerson, and his alone
That it neither is nor is to beat least so
long rs Miss Emerson suryives-that OF
Mr., Chafiee, nobody who knows anything
Of law or equity can pretend to Doubt
And yet Dr.. CAaffee has been assailed,
from one end Of the, country to the other,
as the ownerof bred Scott, therefore the
real party defendant in The suit tor his lib-
erty, aud responsible for his continuance in
bondage! In fact, he was utterly ignorant
that bred Scott existed, down to the pres
ent year; aud even Mrs. Chatfge, to whom
he had been servant, supposed him dead
throughout last year, and was only appris,
ed in February, 1857, the tie bred Scott
about whom the great law suit was going
ON in the Supreme Court, was the slave Of
her deceased husband. Tile has been left

Recently, Mrs. Chaffee and Miss Emerson
have rehnquished all their right and title
TO him, and DR.. Chafee, to render the e
Emancipation perfect beyond oayil, has also
signed. the release or euitclaim.
The statement Of these facts-which we
make on our own responsibility seems to
be required by the systematic scalumny
which forms the main reliance of the Pro
Slavery Press. Unable to defend their
own principles, they devote their columns
to blackening the regulations Of their OPP
ponents. How inconclusive and irrelevant

In regard to diet, a plentiful use Of
ripe fruit should be INDUCED in. Every
family should have the table constantly
supplied with baked apples. Cooked in
this way, their preparation for the table
gives but little trouble 10 the housewife,
and anything that lessons her labor is
particularly desirable. For supper We
want no better meal than good light
bread and rich country milk, accompa-
MED with plate of good baked apples.
And especially for a children's supper.
nothing can surpass it. A plenty of
stewed tomatoes as an accompaniment
for breakfast and dinner, is also excel
lent.
The windows to sleeping apartments
may be left open; but the air in passing
should be tempered by going through
close Venetian blinds or guaze curtains.
BY paying suitable atenttion to the
laws of health, the tables of mortality
would soon show very perceptahle de-

HINTS ON HEALTH.

Throughout the rich and glorious West
the months of September and October
are the most trying of all others in their
direful influences on health. The chilly
night air, and the heavy dews of the
morning, induce the stealthy approach
of fever and ague, and other diseases,
unless constant care is taken to warn
them off.
Early rising has long been regarded
as one of the household virtues. Nor do
we feel disposed 10 discourage its rrac
tice. But we 10 insist that at this sea-
son of the year there should uniformly
be kindled small fire in the living room
early every morning. And in no in
stance should a member of the household
go out and expose himself to the infu-
ence of an early morning miasmatic air
without first partaking of some food.
A slice of good light bread, thinly
spread with butter, along with cup of
tea or coffee, is excellent. But it is all
important TO eat something. if it is no.
thing more than a cracker or crust of
bread.
Constant attention should also be given
TO thorough cleanliness of the whole per-
son also that the boly be provided with
suitable clothing TO keep the system
comfortably warm.
Our autumnal diseases make their en-
trance mostly through the pores of the
skin; consequently too much pains can
not be taken to keep the skin in healthy
condition, that it may be enabled to dis
charge all its functions.
Cleanliness and warmth of bcdy will
do this. We do not insist upon daily
bathing. A thorough washing of the
whole body once week is sufficient
But then every morning a five or ten
minutes use of a coarse towel applied to
the surface of the body will be found
highly advantageous. The wearing Of a
flannel under-shirt, and drawers, to be
changed weekly or oftener, is also to be
recommended.
