EARLY BREAKFAST.

with greater comfort and alacrity, than
those who work an hour or two before
breakfast. Besides this, the average du-
ration of the life Of those who take break
fast before exercise or work, will be
number of years greater than those who
do otherwise. Most persons begin to

or six hours in their ordinary avocations,

head OF life Wien III Cuba many years
ago, we observed that the f,.voritc time
for travel was midnight; and the old
merchants Of Charleston may remember
that when deadly levers prevailed in hot
weather, they dared not ride into town
in the cool of the evening, but mid day
was accounted the safest We know,
from many years living in New Orleans,
that it was when the evenings and morn
ings were uuusurliy cool, balmy, and de-
lightful, the citizens prepared themselves
/ for still greater ravages Of the deadly ep-

If early breakfast were taken in regions
where chill and fever, aud fever and ague
prevail, and if in addition brisk fire
were kindled in the family room, for the
hours including sunset and sunrise, these
troublesome maladies would diminish in
any one year, not ten fold, but thousand
fold, because the heat Of the fire would
rarity the miasmatic air instantly, and
send it above the breathing point. But
it is troublesome to be building fires

THE PACI &c RAILROAD MEETING
IN NEW YORK.

On Friday evening last well-attended
public meeting was held at Cooper lnsti-
tute for the purpose of presenting plans
for the construction Of the Pacific rail
road. Samuel Hotaling, Esq, presided.
Ex Gov. Boutwell, was expected to be
present, but was rnavoidab.y prevented
Addresses were made by Messrs Hotal
ing, Perham, j. c. Lovejoy, aud Horace
Greeley The latter said he had no par
ticular line to recommend. He was a
friend to the project, which, if properly
carried out, would be profitable The
whole line of the Pacific railroad would
be run through public lands, which, from
the Missouri to San Francisco, would be
two thousand miles. In many of the
railroads Of the country the expenditure
required 20 overcome great obstacles
amounted to s75, 900 a mile, while the
outlay to the laborers was not more than
S25, 900. Along the Pacific route the
line presented no serious obstacles, for it
would be carried principally through level
plains. There was, however, dearth of
timber along the line, which certainly
was a matter of regret in connection with
the undertaking. But there was plenty
of timber on the Rocky Mountains, and
the rivers flowing therefrom to the Mis-
souri, wero remarkably straight In this
manner the want Of timber might be OBJ
waited, for timber from the Rocky Noun
taius could be drif.ed down the Arkan-
sas to the Missouri.
Taking everything into consideration,
he felt satisfied that the line would be
cheaply laid down. and that remunera.

Weather, Markets, DO.

Weather, Markets, DC.
Since our last issue there has been no
change, of note, in the financial or COM
mercial circles Of this city. The weather
continues cool, the harvest season has been
glorious, and as far as that is concerned,
nothing better could be asked for. The
river is remarkably low, and still going
down. New wheat is arriving more freely,
with average receipts of ten to fifteen loads
per day. The wheat tlus far exhibited, is
full and plump and the farmers unite in
saying that the yield is uncommonly heavy.
Wheat sells readily at SO cents. Frcights
have advanced to ID cents and Q mills per
bushel on wheat to Milwaukee, and on other
grain in proportion. Lake and River frcights
have also advanced to a high figure, and
this fact operates, to some extent, upon our
market. Our buyers are necessarily gov.
erned by other markets and an increase of
freight tariff naturally causes discount on
the scale of prices here. The market is not
yet fairly opened our buyers are busy in
charging their warehouses-and everything
indicates brisk trade in grain when the tide
fairly sets in. Our Commercial Report has
correct quotations of the Lake and Seaboard
markets, and HOFFMAN, BENTON & Co.'S
Price Current presents the figures of the
McGregor prices,-to both of which your
ait ,ntion is invited.

WOnlenss Habits.

WOmen'S A0D1tSs
This caption need not excite alarm. We
are not about to trust our pen in that field
of discussion which is so common to the
scribbling world, and much less are we dis
posed to call the ladies up before the bar
of public opinion to exhibit i'll manners in
ovcrhauling their errors. Human beings
are all more or less faulty, and we do not
fatter the fair by making them an excep-
ton; the Times has always endeavored to
do the ladies justice, and as case presents
itself for notice, we proceed Ito say our
say"
In the Sept No. of Cooley there are ex-
tracts from work on Nursing, by Miss
NIGHTINGALE, the distinguished "Army
Angel in the late Franco-Anglico- Russian
war. Generally, the advice Of this good
woman is excellent, but there are some
things in her "Notes" which do not strike
us as exactly called for.
She complains of the modern style of fe-
male dress as unsuited to the sick room.
The philanthropic lady objects very deci-
dedly to crinoline as noisy, rustling,
space-taking nuisance she also complains
that the character of the pendent hoops re-
quires tip-up-and- down, shaky, wiggling
walk or waddle that causes trembling of
the floor, and produces great unpleasant
ness to the tenant of a sick bed.
Believing that moderate crinolinic dcvel-
opments are easy for the wcarers and very
graceful to the eye of the beholder, we ex-
cept to the criticism of the distinguished
European lady. Women are the best at
tendants on sick pcople-indeed they are
the only nurses We ever want to see about
our couch, but the idea of dressing them Sc
as to be al,oays ready to SERGE in this holy
and laborious capacity is absurd. There
are other vocations and positions for which
they are adapted. The women of our &C.
quaintancc look well ir the parlor and al
church, neat in the kitchen, and we will
trust to their good sense to dress and walk
properly in the sick room. This everlasting
jabbcr about the faults Of the women il
dress and behavior reflects no credit OF
male writer's, however privileged Mis-.
Nightingale may be to give her own sex ,
com6ing. If men were half as proper II
their department, or as faultless in theil
clothing as women arc compelled to be, tn
world would move along much more smooth
ly than it now does. Good-natured railery
where ladies' habits are in question is allow
able in newspaper, and sometimes re
freshing; but filings at the weakness
"folly," ''irailty," or taste of those to whom
we oil look for home charms and social or
nament, are read with regret by every maj
of genuine principle.

r ike.a Peak.

Pixies Peak.
We are favored by Gen. Bigelow with
the perusal of a very interesting letter ad-
dressed to him by F. A. Rodman of P. P.
Mr.. r. had got his mill up and expected
to do well with it. Steam is expensive as
motive power and water privileges are now
scarce and high. The Gulch mining is not
paying anywhere, but the crushcrs will do
we'll. Clcghorn is near neighbor to
Rodman and several of the McGregor boys
are at work OH his claim-Van, Bond and
Jas. Benton are mentioned. All are well.
About 100 to 100 steam quartz mills are al
ready there and 80 to 40 water mills
these latter will 90 up to 100 in the course
of month. Steam machinery requires
grease and the least drop of that in their
quicksilver spoils their amalgam table and
upsets the business; no foundry is there
and hence steam machinery is bad to re-
pair. A great many are returning and
more will follow so soon as they can gather
the means.
As this is decidedly the best letter of in.
formation fror. the Peak which We have
seen, we will cndcavor to publish most Of
it next week. Mr.. r. will return home
this winter and Rube will take care OF his
| traps.

A correspondent of the Lerdnt Herald
relates the following instance of the horri-

that human beings can be guilty of such
cruelty acts that would disgrace the most
savage of wild beasts. ~ have seen one
| of the women of Dheirel- Kammar who has
deep cash in her thighs; the wound was
caused by the thighs being used as a
block on which to chop off the head of her
infant boy three years old! Another poor
woman, who is also here, tried to cover her
child with her body, saying that it was a
girl. The Druses found out it was boy
and stabbed it through the mothers body.

passed off very pleasantly, and q larger au-
Senator Hammer had the advantage of Mr.
Odell in the argument, and we were not dis
appointed at finding the latter gentleman
utterly unable to assign a reason for his late

first took to be nixon examination, how
ever, we took 1t for st. Croix Rum of most
splendid quality. Charley was formerly in

belief that we could give this eau de pie to
some one of them, provided our scruples
would not admit Of it's use in the Times
