An INoENDtIRr APPEAL.-An Infamous docu-
ment, in the form of circular, has lately come
to light in New York. many prominent Irish
men 10 that city having each received a copy.
The copies received were postmarked in some
cases at Richmond, Va, In others at Memphis,
Tenn, in others again at Montgomery Alabama.
1t is addressed "To tho Irish Friends Of the
South in the Northern Cities" and reads as fol-
lows: ..F r.t+ +o
"FELLow-CITIzENs You who have always been
true to the constitution and the South--who have
degraded yourselves to the level of the African
race as the dirty feesoilers doyou are aware that
the borders Of Virginia have been profaned by the
tread Of the freesoil assassin The South looks to
its Irish friends in the large free cities to effect
diversion in its favor and for this purpose the Uni
ted Constitutional Irish Association has been form
ed, Of which some Of YOU and doubtless all will
bel members. In the great cities. prominent free
soilers and aboitonists own large factories stores
and granhrles, IN which vast sums (made out of the
SOUTH are invested. This fact furnishes means
OF checking their agTessions on the South; and the
Irish friends OF the South relied on to make the
check effective. Property Is proverbially timid.-
Whenever hay stack or cotton gin is burned at
the South by freesol emssaries, let large factory
York or Boston, be given to the flames To make
this course safe, your Association must be true to
itself and its principles; method, caution, your
duoble secresy will insure the safety of its actors
Southern gentlemen will be constantly among you,
amply supplied with means to remove those whose
patriotism has subjected them to suspicion. Besides
many friends viii be found both among Southern
steamers crews, railway conductors and the police.
In fact, you will find friends and funds on every
hand BE energetic, therefore--go at once to your
foreman and see il he cannot introduce you to the
Association, If you are not already member.
Il WAS suggested in some quarters that this
document was got up by the AbOlitiOuists Is
ruse. but the fact tha. the copies resolved we're
mailed in the Southern cities precludes this
soppOsisiou. The circular was doubtless the
work Of some hOt-headed SOulherners and die
uniOnists, who sentit North, not with any ex-
pectAtion that the atrocious recommendation
would be carried out, but for the purpose Of
adding to the existing sectional excitement.

p%A sscold'' is not necessarily the
result Of low or high 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
tablespoonful of water upon some
parts Of his dress, or by standing in q
door, or before stove, or sitting nea,
window or other opening where one
part Of the body is colder than another.
Let it be kept in mind that uniformity
of temperature over the whole body is
the first thing to be looked after. It
is tho unequal heat upon the different
parts Of the body that produces colds,
by disturbing the uniform circulation
Of the blood, which in turn induces
congestion Of some part. If you must
keep partially wet garment on, it
would be- as well perhaps to wet the
whole of it uniformly. The feet are q
great source of colds on account Of the
variable temperature they are subjected
to. Keep these always dry and warm,
and avoid draughts Of air, hot or cold,
wet spots on the garments, and other
direct causes of unequal temperature,
and keep the system braced upby plen-
ty of sleep, and the eschewing Of. de-
bilitating foods and drinks, and you
vail be proof against . cold and its
results DR.. Hall.

LONGEVITY IN DIFFERENT OCCUPA-
r1oNs.-The Legislature of Massachu-
sets have had some tables prepared to
show the mean life attained by individ-
uals engaged in various employments,
and from which we Gull the following
interesting facts:
Bank officers are the longest-lived,
their average being 68 to 76; next,
Judges and justices, IS, and then agri-
culturists, whose average is from 63 to
90; clergymen, coopers, gentlemen,
public officers and ship-wrights average
from and between SIS and so /; black
smiths, butchers, calico printers, law
yers, matters, merchants, physicians,
and ropemakers attain ages varying
from SO to 55; carpenters, masons,
and traders, live from As to so bank
ers, editors, jewellers, manufacturers,
mechanics, painters, shoemakers, and
tailors average from 40 to As; machin-
lists, musicians, and printers live from
35 to 40; and clerks, operatives, and
teachers are the shortest-lived of all,
being only from 80 to 35. OF course,
it is not necessary that a person who
follows any Of the above businesses
should die at definite age, but still
the table gives very good test as to
the effect Of employment in wearing
out the human frame. 10y 8fe

TIE HAIR QUESTION: great hirsute
problem s'to shave or not to shave" has
been again revived, and newspaper cham
pion found for each side. The editor Of the
Syracuse Journal, who wears char on his
lip" takes the negative, and the venerable
head Of the Pong hkeepsie Eagle the aftir-
native. Poughkeepsie leads off thus: ga
dull, red, half-open, sleepy and often sore
eye, belongs as regularly to bearded face,
as the hair itself does" Whereupon Syra-
cuss declares $50 far from this position
being true, it is the exact opposite of the
truth" Poughkeepsie then puts in hard
blow after this wise 1T boards are, nec.
essary to promote health, as some pretend
to say, why are not women provided with
them as we'll as men ? They suffer nothing
through want of hair around the mouth and
under the nose why then should men cut
ter I" Syracuse very pertly inquiries -
"Why was not woman made like man in
every respect 2" The last is q poser. We
will wait for Poughkeepsie to answer that
question if he can.

half a million of people. As Louis
Napoleon has given to Victor Emman-
uel Lombardy, Tuscany, Parma, Mod

Church, increasing the population Of
his kingdom from five millions to over
twelve millions, he will hardly sickle
about the cession Of Savoy if the
French Emperor wants it.
