EATING FRuIr.-No liquids of any descrip-
ton should be drank within an hour after eat
ing fruits, nor should anything else be eaten
within two or three hours after-thus time be-
ing allowed for them to pass out of the stom-
ach the system derives from them all their en-
livening, cooling and opening influences. The
great rule is, eat fruit and berries while fresh
ripe and perfect, in their natural state, without
eating or drinking anything for at least two
hours aferward. With these restrictions, fruit
and berries may be eaten with moderation du-
ring any hour of the day, and without getting
tired of them. or ceasing to be benefited by
them during the whole season. 1t is great
waste of lusciousness that fruits and berries iD
their natural state are not made the sole des-
sert at our meals, for three fourhs Of the year !;

Origin of the Hapsburg Family.

The history Of the imperial family of Austria
is striking illustration Of how often the great
est events are the offspring Of accidental causes.
4 count of Switzerland once met, whilst on
sporting excursion poor priest on his way TO
administer the sacrament 10 dying parishion-
er. His progress is arrested by brook, Just
at the moment when the count with his retinue
arrives Respectfully be offers his own horse
TO the priest, humby it is accepted. aud the
next day returned. God forbid" exclaims the
count to the messenger, - should ride horse
again which carried my Saviour; bestow it
on the church and the priest" This poor priest
becomes the chaplain and the confdant of the
Prince Elector of Meutz, and his influence pre-
walls on the first spiritual Prince of Germany
to propose the pious horse lender to the assem-
bled electors of his empire. As his military
proves promised to be useful at q time when
Germany was infested by numberless petty
way-laying knights, and his want of power
gave no reason for jealousy, he was accepted,
and thus Radolpb, Count of Hapsburg became
the first though least powerful monarch of
Christesdom. Though a wealthy count, he
was poor prince. He had, however, trea-
sure in his daughters, which he disposed of in
that prudent way which enabled him, with the
assistance of his princely sonsin-law, TO deprive
Ottocar, the King Of Bohemia, OF Austria
This dukedom had been seized after the de-
cease Of the last duke of the house of Badens-
burg, by Otocar, and was in vain demanded
by Rudolph. Ottocar was twice defeated
and his death on the field Of battle secured the
family of Hapsburg in the first possession the
archdukedom Of Austria. His successors pur-
sued the same prudent and marrying way, and
acquired by these means the kingdom of Bohe-
mia, Hungary, number of smaller provinces,
and, finally, the vast Spanish monarchy, till
Charles V, the most powerful monarch of Eu-
rope dared to aspire, three hundred years af-
forwards, to universal monarchy. Without
distinguished character, without even the love
of those nations, and in spite of the continual
revolts, this family not only extracted itself
from imminent dangers, but rose from its fire.
quent down-falls more powerful than before.

World says, in the course Of it's editorial
speculations as to time Of attack:

YET before anything Is done by it. The
World says, in the course Of it's editorial
speculations as to time Of attack:
The expedition against Charleston
seems to have miscarried for a season,
and the attack, it is now announced, may
not be made for month yet. Thus all
the time spent in North Carolina has been
lost. The original object was to make
the rebels believe march Inland and an
attack on Wilmington was designrd, and
then to suddenly sail for Charleston and
attack it without delay. But the old sto.
ry was, repeated. The War Department
sent Major General Foster with troops to
Major General Hunters departme ent,
without designating who should command
the operations. General Foster declared
he was the man, bu. Genera! Hunter Was
quite sure he was the commanding Gen.
eral. SO the troops which were 70 have
remained on board the transports until
dsembarked for direct attack on Char
lesion have been landed at St. Helena
Island, while General Foster comes home
in the Arago to got thing. fixed at Wash.
ington. So golden weeks have been lost;
the rebels have been given abundant time
to prepare for attack, and another evi
dence is afforded Of the singular want of
forecast and administrative ability Of the
War Department.
A correspondent Of the New York
World, writing from Por. Royal, where
the immense feet is fitting out, rather
confirms this story Of the World and
says:
The expedition is at a stand still
worse even, for the troops are disembark.
ing from the transports and taking up
their quarters on ST. Helena Island. An
the mystery which enshrouded this exps.
dition for SO many weeks il thus useless
and many days must elapse before any.
thing can be achieved by it. A disagree
ment has arisen between Generals Hunter
and Foster. and it would seem .ha. the
authorities at Washington had re enacted
the Butler Banks embsoglio, with still
worse results. 1t not being possible for
two heads of departments to live AMIGA.
bly, in the same locality, and General
Hunter not being disposed to leave, Gen.
eral Foster has gone to Washing,o, to
have an understanding with the au,hori
ties. You must not, therefore, expect to
bear anything further from this expedi.
ton for at least three weeks TO come.

LESION HARDoR-TRE DErENcEs.
correspondent of the New York Herald
says a reconnaissance was recently made
in the night Of the defences and forlifica
tions Of Charleston harbor. lie gives the
following as the result:
Charleston is a second Sebasiopol. 1t
is defended by over one thousand guns,
many OF them Of improved European fab.
ric. Every island, point, river, creek aud
swamp in proximity to Charleston is com.
manded by hostile cannon. Fort Moul:
,rie is iron cased on the harbor front, and
the whole work is bomb proof. The reb
els have two rams and one iron cased
battery, the latter mounting eight one
hundred FOUNDER rihed cannon, for the
defence Of the harbor. The casemated
tier Of guns Of Fort Sumter is clothed in
iron armor. Parallel bars Of railroad iron
traverse this iron coating perpendicular
from the base to the upper line The EN-
brssures are protected by massive projec
tions Of the same material, presenting
acute angles at every side. The rebel
batteries are fully garrisoDed. The rebel
army now in Charleston and the for,ifi
cations thereof, is about thirty FIVE thou
sand strong, and this force is being rap
idly augmented. To capture Charleston,
our military and naval commanders think
it will take large naval snd land force,
and will occupy n per Cd Of six weeks or
two months. That it can be captured

The NAVAL EXPEDITION OFF TUE SoUTH
ERN CoArs.
The Northern papers give US something
positive OF the formidable naval expedi
tion gathering off the Southern coast
There are abundant rumors and specula.
tions, but the military censorship Of the
North imposes a remarkable silence and
sscrecy on its resl object aud destination.
In the absence Of any authentic informa
<ion We give such stray paragraphs con
tcerping it as we have been able to sift
from the Northern papers. A correspon.
dent writing from Newbern North Caro-
lima, to . Boston paper, of the sailing Of
the expedition, says:
The sailing Of the expedtion-to ops
rate against Charleston, believe-was
one Of the grandest sights ever witness
ed. The fleet consisted Of about l25 sail
of vessels, steamers. transports, tugs and
.schooners, adj following in rapid success
sion. 1t was a magnificent sight, with
the troops cheering, bands playing. and
the !colors flying from the masts. Icoun.
ted 78 sail vessels and 80 steamers.
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times, speaking on the point
OF destination Of the expedition, writes:
There is no longer any necessity for
,conceating the fact that the iron clads
which mysteriously disappeared some time
since. we're despatched to Wilmington,
North Carolina with The object Of cut
ting the important line Of railroad which
Connects Charleston and Richmond. This
done, it can do the rebels no good to
learn that Charleston will soon be made
the Iscipien: Of that tardy justice which
has 30 long been her due, and thus will
be developed another Of the voluminous
co operative movements, the success or
failure Of which is likely to determine the
result Of the war.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, speaking
OF the sailing Of the expedition. says:
Late news from Newbern, via Norfolk,
which came by the canal and the inland
route, Informs qs that one hundsed and
twenty vessels had sailed Sou,hward, and
that Two achoopers, one loaded with cat.
lie and the other with GOALS, had gone
ashore on Hattsras Shoals. The eye Of
Fancy can "ses them on their winding
ivay;" but the tongue Of Fancy refuses
30 tell where the tortuous travers will
end. II s large force, destined for an
Important ssryice, and it must soon be at

The New York Times intimates that
the movement was planned by Butler,
and that he may be given command Of
the expedition. The Times says:
