TAXING CODA "cold" is not necessa-
rily, says the Scientific .Ameyiron, the result
of high or low temperature. A person may
60 directly from a hot bath into a cold one,
or into snow even, and not take cold On
the contrary, he may take cold by pouring
a couple of spoonfu's of cold water upon
some part OF his dress, or by standing in a
door or some other opening where one part
of the body is colder than the other. Let it
be kept in mind that uniformity of tempera-
ture over the whole body is the first thing
to be looked after. 1t is in the unequal heat
upon the different parts of the body that pro-
duces cold. BY disturbing the uniform circu-
lat,on of some part. If you must keep par
TALLY wet garments on, it would be as well
perhaps to wet the whole of it uniformly
The feet are great source of colds, on ac-
count of variable temperature they are SUBJ
]ected to. Keep these always dry and warm,
and avoid drafts of air, hot or cold, wet spots
on the garments, and other direct causes of
unequal Temperature, and keep the system
b'aced up by plenty of sleep, and the eschew-
ing OF delIbllating food and drinks, and you
Will be proof against a cold and its results.

SOUTHERN SPIRIT.

The BARBAR1sM OF S~LAvERY.-By the b.
hemion we obtain the following pleasant lit
tie news item:
.AtrMu-The human sacrifices at Dahomey
far exceeded the number reported. The vic
TINS were reckoned by thousands.
Even those who do not admire American
slavery may infer that he negroes in the
South are quite as well off as they would be
under the benignant rule Of Dahomey's King.
A very large portion OF ths slaves have been
converted to Christianity, and those who
have travelled through Europe, where women
tow the canal boats, or yoked with dogs, are
employed as beasts of bur1en, or in wretched
manufactures toll till health and life are lost,
are inclined to think that the condition of the
slaves is far more enviahle; but when con-
trasted with that of subjects of His Majesty
of Dahomey, ought it not to reconcile US
somewhat to the peculiar institution o.

A Word TO OUR .-Urdsr
this head the Mobile Tribune has the follow.
ing pertinent and sensible remarks. whichTs
unhesitatingly endorse:
We venture respectfully to make an apresll
to our contemporaries Of tie Southern pres.
Of all parties aud of every shade of eplnis,
as to the propriety of abstaining from 1isti
discussions OF, and direct ~aliusion to, III 4.
ruliar institution Of the South. The plbEk
mind is fully enlightened as to the real nIn.
clples and ultimate purposes 0. The Black
Republican party. One Of the most potter!
weapons in the hands of that party has been
the provocstion of Southern peop'e TO open
discussions and allasions on the subject
They nave no need TO send mcendia.y doeH.
meuts among Us. if they can goad and asgs.
vate lis into involuntary and unconscious H.
cend'arism at home.
We can keep the peopleof the South fa1g
informed, and take counsel among ourselves
upon all present or prospective issues, Wit.
out any necessity for the discussions and eI.
pressions to which we allud-. We need 10.
always specify the precise point against
Which the attacks OF fanatics upon oi
safety or our constitutional rights are diie.s
ed. That is a matter well understood BY U'
readers. 1t may be well enough to discus
some things before a select audience, wfei
it is e%xpedient to treat with more ressrse
b fore a promiscuous assembly in the streets
or such as comprises the collective mass Of
newspaper readers. There is more than one
good reason why this reticence should be o.
served, and none, that We are aware OF, WY
1t should not.
We make this suggestion to our bssafsl
OF the press in no spirit Of presumptlon o.
fault finding, Surprising them to BE- tuliE u
loyal as We are, and knowing them to hass'
common interest with lis on this subject, w
merely wish to enter a friendly Pi0ses'
against some things which We regard 81

A waggish darkey, who was waiting at
the table at the pInce's ball in Montreal, was
beset by a bevey Of Young ladies' for the glass
from which royalty had drank. They were
shown the glass, and then inquired the very
place which royal lips had touched. This
was also shown, when the girls applied their
signated place. After his beautiful ceremony
was over, one of the damsels, doubling some,

a Change Already.

Some of our Breckinridge friends, who
Union before the election, have changed their
minds already. Most of them, seeing tine
disastrous consequences which must follow,
do not ike the idea of ''precipitatins." They
have commenced the work, and certainly
should finish it. But they see that the peo-
pie generally are opposed to it and knowing
well how to trim their sails in order to catch
the popular breeze, will no doubt change the
tenor Of their course-for they change their
political opinions as readily as a man does his
dirty shirt. We would not be surprised to
heal some of them now declare themselves
in favor of waiting for an overt act" SIX
or seven months ago, when the antl-Slidel,
Democrats were considered the Southern
tive-they were in favor of waiting for all
covert act'. In order to defeat Stephen A.
Dougias-than whom the South never had a
truer friend.-an in order to elect their can
didates, they became uhha Southern men,
But now they change again. they are again
in favor of waiting for an overt act" They
never were sincere in thelr advocacy of what
they termed Southern doctrines. Ent their
whole object was 10 effect certain political
purposes. When the roll is called-if called
it is-there will scarcely a sufficient numoer
answer to it to folm q %corporal's guarG. If
ever it becomes necessary to dissolve this
Union it will be done by the cool determina-
ton of sincere men. But not by the heroes
debt, and the Breckenridge supporters of Abe
Lincoln in the Free States. Mad. Roland,
during the French revolution, when about
being executed, exclaimed 20 Liberty ! what
crimes are perpetrated in thy name!7 One
might we'll excIaim at the present: 0 South
ern Rights what injustice is committed in
thy name.
1t is time that the people should awaken
themselves to the responsibility under which
they are to the country it is time that
they should take the matter in hand. Insin-
cere politicians should no mere govern they
will certainly bring on anarchy and ruin
But from an honest people nothing need be
