The ToMATo-ITs PRopERTIEs.-Dr
Bennett, a professor of some celebrity
considers it an invaluable article of diet
and ascribes to it very important medi-
cal properties:
/. That the tomato is one of the most
powerful aperients Of the Materia Medioa,
and that in all those affections of the liv-
er and organs where calomel is indicated,
it is probably the most effective and least
harmful agent known to the profession.
2. That a chemical extract will be oh.
tanned from it which will altogether su-
persede the use Of calomel in the cure of
disease. &
3. That he has successfully treated
diarrhpa with this article alone.
4. That when used as an article Of
diet, it is almost sovereign remedy for
dyspepsia and indigestion.
s. That the citizens in ordinary should
make use of it, either raw, or cooked, or
in the form of catsup, with their daily
food, as it is the most healthy article in
the materM a imoasaj. H.tal0

the first shipment of this beautiful salt to

TIE HALF MILLION PRpArE.--Out

THE HALF MILLION PRIVATE. Our
readers will remember the paragraph pub
.lished day or two since, about private
in the Rhode Island regiment at Wash
ington, being engaged in mopping the
the barracks. AS an addenda, we may
add, that he was complimented by his ac-
quaintances for the tidy and efficient
manner in which the mopping was done.
His reply was that "the first lesson ho
ever learned was, never to neglect duty,
and that whatever was duty to do well"
In this sentence lies the philosophy of
success. 1t was Billy Gray" the mil
lionaire of Boston, who when twitted of
having once been drummer, replied
