A Time fer All Things.

Under this caption, the Milwaukee NewS
addresses some very sensible suggestions
to Democrats in regard to making an undis-
eliminating warfare upon banks at this
time as part of the Democratic policy Of
this State
1t doubts whether this is the most aus
picious time that could be selected to raise
clamor about banks and banking. 1t
suggests that, though the Democratic party
may pass resolutions against banks, the
Republican party may do the same, and
that. however desirable such an issue might
be for the success Of the Democratic party,
it may be impossible to make it.
1t also suggests the propriety of pru-
dence and moderation in the present crit
tieal condition Of cur State and National
affairs
1t is just now dangerous time for mere
politicians. Those who would raise false
issues, and are OH the watch to make party
capital cut of every petty circumstance,
are liable to fall into errors fatal to the
ends they seek to promote. The safest
method for all, at this time, is to pursue
the course which the best interests of the
country and the impulses Of honest patri-
otism dictate. The people of this country
are too intelligent to be deceived by those
captious politicians who seize upon every
circumstance that furnishes an opportu-
nifty to sow the seeds of dissension and dis
trust on the public mind, and to disturb
the unity Of sentiment in the loyal States
for the purpose Of party aggrandizement.-

MORTALITY Or DRINKING BEER. - The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Clipper, thus accounts for the sickness that
is prevailing in some Of the New York
regiments: The proportion of deaths
in one or two of the New York regiments.
is far beyond what is reasonable or in the
nature Of things necessary. The Albany
regiment suffers heavily. Intemperance is
the chief, if not the only cause of this. l
learn that whilst whiskey is disallowed the
men, they are permitted to indulge in malt
liquors, and especially lager beer, to their
utmost will, under the very mistaken i'm
preston that such drinks are net injurious.
IN very warm weather, malt liquors are far
more dangerous than alcoholic ones, by
reason of their rapid generation of acidity
in the stomach, and thereby causing chol-
eric symptoms of varied character.
"A striking instance Of the i'll effects Of
malt liquors in very warm weather was
furnished in the town of Newark, Ohio, in
the latter part of the very hot and dry
weather of 1854. Within the short space
Of thirty-six hours, from thirty to forty
persons died Of what was called cholera.
At first tie faculty and the public were
stunned at this mortality, but little in
vcstigation showed that in every instance
the disease was caused by beer drinking.
In several instances the victims resorted to
beer to quench the thirst of fever. 1t is
believed that every one who did so per
isbed The only drinks for some time al
lowed by the authorities Of the town were
alcoholic, and as good price was charged
for them, the chance was that they were
better than usual"

How TO TAKE OUR MEALs.-The tables
of the rich and the mobiles of England are
models Of mirth, wit and 5onhommie; it
takes hours to get through a repast and
they live long IF anybody will look in
upon the negroes of a well-to-do family in
Kentucky, while at their meals, they can
not but be impressed with the perfect
abandon Of jabber, -cachination and mirth !;
it seems as though they could talk al. day,
and they live long. It follows then, that
at the family table all should meet and do
it habitually, to make an interchange Of
high bred ceurteses, Of warm affections,
of cheerful mirthfuInes, and that generosi-
ty of nature which lifts US above the brutes
which perish, promotive as these things are
of good digestion, bigt health, and leng
life.-HalPs Journal Of Health.

"A pretty llttIe bantam was recently
thrown into the cage Of one Of the tigers
dOmiciled in the menagerie of the Jardin
des Plantes. 1t was designed to sharpen
his teeth for some blocks Of meat which
be had refused to eat Not in the least
alarmed by his terrible roars, bantam ad-
vanced with the most unsuspecting conf
dence to peck tLs food that was lying un-
tasted before him, aud when she had satis-
fed her hunger, began to examine closely
the claws of the monster. Far from being
afronted at this familiar treatment, he
appeared to be delighted with the new
inmate of his cage, and when the keepers
managed to take her away, be obstinately
refused to taste any food, oither living or
dead, till she was put in again.

PENNY MICROSCOPES. An obscure Eng
lishmaD has anticipated Yankee genius in
cbeapening that beautiful and useful IN
strument, the microscope, for the benefit Of
the million. There is a man who some
times stands in Leicester Square, London,
says Household Words, >" who sells micro
scopes at penny each. They are made
Of common pill box, the bottom taken
out, and piece of window glass substitu-
ted. a small eye-hole Is bored in the lid,
and thereon is placed the lens, the whole
apparatus being painted black. These
microscopes are fully as effective as much
more costly instruments sold in the shops,
An eminent microscopic, who examined
some of them, found their magnifying pow
er was twenty diamaters The cost of
lens made of glass, of such power, wo'd
be seyenty-fve cents or dollar. On cut
ting one of them III two, It appeared that
the lens was made of Canadian balsam, a
transparent gum. The balsam had been
heated, and carefully dropped into the
eye-hole of the pill box. It then assumed
the proper size shape, transparency and
polish of a well ground glass lens
The ingenious microscopist has made and
sold these cheap little instruments for ff-
teen years.

IMMRNsITY oE SPACE. = Humboldt's
Cosmos says: 1T is caculated by Sir
John Herschel that the light is nearly two
millions Of years in coming to the earth
from the remote nebulae reached by his
forty foot reflector. and therefore, be says,
those distant worlds must have been in
existence nearly two million years ago, in
order to send out the ray by which we
now perceive them. 1t also follows that
their light would continue to reach us for
two million years to come, were they to be
now stricken from the Heavens ~

Smart Salmon.

Some years ago q case was on trial at
the Supreme Court of Maine, and in one
of the eastern counties, in which the plain
tiff sought to recover compensation for al
legged injury to his fishing privilege, ocea-
stoned by an erection of nill-dam by the
defendants. The testimony on the part of
the plaintiff was clear and conclusive, and
it was supposed the case would be submit
ted to the jury without the production of
any witnesses by defendants. But after
some consultation their counsel finally call
ed an old rough, Weather-beaten fisherman
who was interrogated as to the habits Of
the salmon, and the effects of the dam
He stated. with other things, that he had
known salmen to 90 up right over dam
that is fifteen feet perpendicular. "What
is that, Mr.. Witness? Do | understand
you to say that salmon go over a dam Gf-
