YEARLY FooD OF ONE MAN.-From the

England. which of course are based upon the
recognized necessities of large numbers of
men in active life, it is inferred that about two

per day are required for each individual of

the rest animal At the c'ose of an entire year
the amount is upwards of 800 pounds. Emu

FIcTITIous WINRs-Even in wine growing
countries no man can be sure there is any
grape juice in what he drinks under the
name OF wine Here the probabilities are all
against the genuineness of everything called
wine. An English paper. speaking of the
manufacture and adulteIation of wines in
France. says:
All is false in the wines-the color, the
strength, the flavor. the age, even the name
under which they are sold. There are wines
which do not contain drop of grape juice.
Even science is impotent to distinguish'l ths
true from the false, so complete is che immi-
sation, You may every day ses' &dvertised in
the French newspapers the = Sele de Mo.
doc,' of which a small faeon. costing thfes
francs, is declared sufficient to give flavor to
GOO litres. Paris and Cette are the principal
seats of this fraudulent adateration. 1t is
practiced in both places on the most colossal
scale. Certainly half the Partisan population
drink, under the name of wine;'a g mixture in
which there is not a drop of grape, juice. The
police are unable to prevent tbs adnlteration.
but the laws punish it with great severity
every week the newspapers publish judg,
n.ente against wine merchants and grocers,
in the execution of which their wines, 20, 80.
50 hogsheads at once, are poured into the
cutters. But the dishonest art is now so per-
feet that even clever chemists can with diff.
Guilty distinguish the true wine from the false.
The chemist, after reporting all the ihgredi-
ents of which the wine was composed. observ
ed that if one OF them was in less quantity,
he would have been unable to distinguish ii
from a natural wine-such was the case in 1.
very recent trial. The prosecuted wine mer-
chant, who was present, listened attentively
to the chemists report, and at last asked him
which ingredient it was. The chemist very
imprudsntly told it to him, and the accused
Immediately answered, :" am very much

THE SECOND GENERAL kEARNEY.-A cor
respondent thus speaks of General Kearney,
who is now with Mcclellan:
General Phil. Eearney is in his glory now
He has the post of honor and of danger,
something he has long desired. 1t is singu-
lar how the soldiers confde in the man, and
simply because of his daring, and devil may
care spirit. Next to Mcclellan himself,
really believe . Mad Phil" is the most pop
ular of Generals. Our soldiers talk by the
hour of how he performed innumerable i'm
possible feats in the last battle, and exaggerate
what he really did do. But, notwithstanding
Kearney really is the Mad Anthony Wayne
of this war, and when its history is written,
will occupy no mean space upon its page
For a General, he may be too careless of self,
but as leader in the critical hour, when
the result depends upon personal bravery
he has few superiors. 1t is not the fact Of
Napoleon, who knew the proper moment to
head his armies in the field, but rather the
mans nature which prompts him to say
Come on, boys - and not . Go on.'' The
rebel prisoners connect Kearney with Satan,
by terming him the g mad devil" Such is
the character of the Genera who leads Our
Advance Division.

Depth of Planting Corn.

A communication which we find in the
Germantown Telegraph gives the following
suggestions and facts, respecting the prop
er depth for planting corn.
Cover the corn carefully, and never more
than from one and half 20 two inches
deep. If planted deeper than this, it will
be longer coming up, and after it comes UP
it will grow very we'll until it is three or four
inches high, when it will remain stationary
for 10 days or two weeks. by examining
we will find that the first joint is below the
surface Of the soil, also that the roots are
decaying, while new ones are being thrown
out from the Joint these new roots require
some ten or fifteen days for their complete
formation, and during this time the plant
is stationary as far as growth IS concerned.
As soon as the new roots are fully formed
the old ones will entirely disappear, aud
the growth will proceed as usual.
From actual experiments with grains
taken from the same ear and same part of
the ear, | have arrived at the following re-
suit; Corn planted one inch deep came up
in eight days that planted one and half
inches deep required nine and half days
that two inches deep, ten days; two and
half inches deep, eleven and quarter days;
three inches deep, twelve days; three and a
half inches deep, thirteen days; five and a
half inches deep, eighteen days six inches
deep, twenty-one days. The last lot came
up and grew up until about three inches
high, when it remained stationary for long
time and fnally died
