USE PLENTY OF GRAvY.-Dr. Dixon, in
a late number of the 'Scalpel,' in an article
on diet, assumes the position that the 'usc Of
oil would decrease the victims Of consump.
ton nine tenths and that this is the whole
secret of the use of cod liver OIL and quotes
the following summary observations on the
subject made by DR.. Hooker.
Of all persons at between the sges of ff.
teen and twenty-five years, more than one
fifth eat no fat meat. . .
Of persons at the age of forty.6ve all ex.
cepting less than one in fifty, habitually use
fat meat. -. .
Of persons who, between the ages of ff.
teen and twenty two avoid fat meat, a few
acquire an appetite it, and live to good
old age, while the greater portion die with
phthisic before thirty-fve.
Of persons dying with phthisic, between
the ages of twelve and forty.fve, nine.tenths,
at least, have never used fat meat.
Most individuals who avoid fat meat, also
use little butter or oily gravies though they
should compensate for this want, in part, at
least, by free use use of those articles, aad
also milk, eggs and various saccharine sub.
stances. But they constitute an imperfect
substitute for fat meat, without which sooner
or later the body is almost sure to show the
effects of deficient calorifcation. -.

PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.-One Of
the most inconceivable things in the nature
Of the brain is, that the organ Of sensation
should itself be insensible. To cut the brain
gives no pain, yet in the brain alone resides
the power Of feeling pain in any other part
Of the body. If the nerve which leads from
it to the injured part be divided, it becomes
equally unconscious of suffering. Il Is only
by communication with the brain that sensa-
tion isproduced, yetthe organ itself isiuseu-
sible. But there is IA circumstance more xpn.
derful still. The brain itself may be re-
moved, may be cut away down to the Corpus
calaram without destroying life.. The ami
NAL lives aud performsall its functions which
are necessary to vitality, but no longer has
amind; it cannot think or feel; it requires
that the food be pushed into its stomach;
once there, it is digested; and the animal
will even thrive and grow fat We infer,
therefore, that the parts of the brain, tho
convolutions, are simply intended for the
exercise Of the intellectual faculties, Hheth-
er of the low degree called instinct, or the
exalted kind bestowed on man, the gift Of
reason. -.,.s. SIS. ..,g .,,f .,..,ss

DROP OF WATER IN A QUEER PLACE
We were shown, while attending the animal
examination Of Union Academy, at Pleas
ant Ridge, by DR., E. F. Bouchelle, one Of
the most interesting Geological curiosities we
have ever seen or read of. It consists of .
specimen of rock Of the primitive ordersQf
formation, and Of the pentedral order of
cyrstalization, containing in its centre q glo,
bule of water movable and visible. The VA!
ter is, if there be any truth in Geology, far
more ancient than the waters in the food Of
Noah. To use the language or DR.. Bou-
chelle, cit is drop of the waters that cover
ed in darkness the face of the great deep,
when the earth was without form and void
in other words, this little drop is portion
of the first water that was created during the
six days of Geneses, and became entangled
among the particles Of the rock during the act
or progress of capitalization. The rock being
primitive, or the first Of creation, the water
must also be primitive" Any person wish.

however, be admitted that both the friend,
of religion and the advocates of temperance
consider their respective causes to have beer
great gamers directly by the popular press
That they have gained exceedingly by the
indirect process cannot be doubted. Upon
one class of periodical publications it has not
been deemed necessary to dwell, those of the
newspaper press; sometimes called the pub.
lie press, as all other works proceeded from
private printing Offices. The use Of these
journals is incalculable; their importance
both to the legislature, the courts of justice,
the police department, is incontestable; and
to the rights and to the lesser interests Of
the community their value is such as can
only be duly estimated in countries which
either never enjoyed such advantages, or have
lost them through their wilful folly, possibly
thesr crimes. But in less important respects
these publications are of no little value they
are source of constant entertainment "a
tional, and even useful. "Had I all the
money" says one writer, (which I pay in
taxes to government, at liberty to lay out up
on amusement and diversion, I know not
whetherI would make choice of auyin which
I should find greater pleasure" Nor are
these the words of an ignorant or an ordina.
ry person; they are these Of great divine
and philosopher; they are Paley's, in his
Moral Philosophy. He shows how the
newspapers "minister," as he says, "to the
harmless qualification of multitudes," and
adds that 'the secrecy, the jealousy, the
solitude, and precipitation of despotic gov
ernments exclude all this" He did not
live to see that middle STAGE between entire
exclusion and full possession Of which the
last seventy years have finished in certain
countries signal example. 1t would be
wrong if we did not advert to the great i'm
provement in one material particular of the
newspaper press in our time. The papers
which made traffic Of slander have ceased
from among us. For while they acted like
drain to carry off the Impurities which had
before been diffused over other journals; the
good sense, both of the public and literary
men, has now filled up sewer no longer
wanted, and, to all appearance, that portion
ofthe press no longer existS.-Lord Broayh-

ure upon them would leave the South, in
herself stronger and prouder than before,
and that with her population, extent and re-.
sources, on going out of the Union, she
would be great nation. Now what is there
in all this, to which a State Rights man
should object? Is it not the very substance
of our position, of the facts, and of what
common sense suggests upon them? Let

Disunionism per Sc itself-Disunion for itself
and not slavery alone, should be content

endeavor to gather to himself the legitimate
influence of Southern Senator and States

destiny Of the country? These are all
pregnant points and questions, upon which,
we think, Col. Gregg has not sufficiently
pondered.
If by C. State Rights man is meant one,
who, in addition to we'll known State Rights
principles, is not in policy Unionist per Sc,
but is ready and disposed for a Southern
Confederary when a proper and available
crisis arrives, then Senator Hammond is a
State Rights man. With firm conviction
that he is, We again invoke the State Rights

From The South Carolinian 2ud inst.
THE ECHO CASE.

We, yesterday announced that the Grand
Jury had returned no bill in the echo case.
We cannot but think that the effect, both at
home and abroad, would have been better,
had there true bill been returned, and the
whole case been brought up for trial. We
believe, as general rule, the law should be
allowed to take its course. The grave doubts
entertained by many, as we'll among the op-
ponents as the advocates, for re-opening of
the slave trade, would then have solved, as
every law.abiding citizen should desire-by
the proper tribunal. Ifit be not piracy, by
whom should the legal question be decided
more properly than by the Judiciary? The
trainers of the Constitution contemplated the
probability of the legislative branch of the
Government exceeding its power; and a
check upon any such assumption, invested
the Judiciary with the prerogative of de6n-
ing and expounding the Constitution. The
same wise provision characterizes both the
Federal and our State Government. If a
right so sacred and responsible, that it was
deemed necessary to invest in abody suppos-
ed, above all others, to be versedin the laws,
and so elected as to be above the influence
of popular clamor-if this right be assumed
to the Grand Jury, who are part of the peo-
pie and must be Influenced by every passing
passion-what becomes of this wise provis.
ion of our Constitution, for preserving the
consistency of our laws? In any case touch.
ing the rights Of a State, our State Judiciary
should be called upon for its constructions,
and if it be against the act of Congress, then
the citizens of the State is justified in resort
ing to nullfcation. If it be case in which
the right of State is not infringed, but
which involves an excess of constitutional
power, then the Federal Judiciary is the
proper e1ponder of whether such legislation
on the part of Congress be constitutional.
Such appear to be the points involved in
this Echo case. Has the Government juris-
diction over its own flag? If so, then can
that jurisdiction warrant it prohibiting our
vessels from engaging in the slave trade, and
furnishing as pirates those who violate this
prohibition t? The points in the case do not
involve any State rights issue, and are of a
character that come clearly within the juris.
diction of the Federal Judiciary, instead of
the Grand Jury.
If each jury decide for itself, then the
uniformity and consistency of our laws would
be destroyed. The same offence would be
punished in one district and go unpunished
in another, or punished one year and not
another. Justice, instead of being weighed
in equal and uniform scales, would auctuate
here and there, as if it might be impelled by
the drifting tide Of popular feeling. But
even admitting that it was case in which
the Grand Jury was allowed discriminating
power, yet still an able discussion Of the
points, such as would undoubtedly have been
had, would have gone far towards instruct
ing the public mind.

ANiNETEEM YEARS DUEL.

The general attention has been recently
attracted to moustrous French duel. The
records of such things in France present an
other duel quite as absurd, but far less hor-
rible
At the beginning of the present century,
the city of Strasbourg resembled Caen, in
possessing certain number of wrong-head-
ed gentlemen who took pleasure in getting
disputes. Soldiers of all ranks had ample
opportunities of picking quarrels, whenever
they wished it, and often when they did not
wish it. In 1874, captain of huzzars named
Fournier, INDUCED in this amusement to his
hearts content At later period, his mer-
it and his courage earned him the epaulets
Of general of division. His aggressive
temper and his address with arms, rendered
his name celebrated in the annals of the
duel. He was invariably the victor in these
unfortunate meetings; and Strasbourg had
to reproack him for the loss of several of her
sons on the most futile motives of quarrel,
and especially for having killed, on very
triAiug grounds, young man named Blume
generally beloved, the only support Of a
numerous family-whom be had challenged
without any plausible reason, and slain
without the slightest pity. The death of
Blume was regarded as public misfortune,
and sympathised in by public mourning.
On the very day of Blume's funeral, Gen.
Moreau gave ball, to which were invited
all the members of the high bourgeoise. 1t
was desirable to avoid the scandalous scenes
which could not fail to take place between
the fellow-townsmen, perhaps the relations
of the unfortunate deceased and the aggres-
sor, who was styled his murderer Gen
Moreau, therefore, desired his aid-de camp,
Captain Dupont, afterwards the General who
capitulated at Baylen, to prevent Captain
Fournier from entering the ballroom. Du-
pont stationed himself in corner of one of
the ante-chambers, and he Immediately
caught sight of him, accosted him abruptly
what are you going to do here?'
'Ah! That's you, Dupont? Good evening
Parbluel You see what AN doing; am
come to the ball.
'Are you not ashamed to come to ball
the very day of the funeral of that poor un-
happy fellow, Blume? What will his friends
and relations say?'
They may say what they please; it's all
one to me. But, I should like to know,
what business is that of yours p
1T is everybody's business. Everybody
is thinking and talking about it."
Everybody is wrong, then. I don't like
people to poke their noses into my affairs
And now, if you please, let me pass
you shall not 60 into the ballroom

Because you must take yourself off In

The YANKEE EvERYwHERE.-In cross.
ing the plains from Mendoza to st. Louis,
South America, Lieut.. Strain met an intel

and pushed his way thus far into the unfre.
quented regions Of the South. The pursuit
Of science, Strain supposed, had led an en-.
thusiastic votary to undertake this distant
tour into the semioivilized region. Great
was his astonishment to find that the traveller
was an agent for an American patent medi'
cine.
