The uouseno,a Expenses.

A writer IN the Atlantic Monthly has
anaiyzed the COS. Of the respective aFtL-
cles consumed IN family OF six grown
persons and two children. whose united
expenses for the year, for food, amounted
70 S926,32. The analysis summed up tor
each article shows the following resalt:
Butter costs almost one tenth Of the
whole exi ense. -Four and wheat bread
c"st almost one tenth; beef costs one tenth
other meats cost a tenth. and hdfOf what
Was spent for eating aud drinking. tea
and coifee, etc. one tenth; sugar and
milk One-tenth; fish, eggs, potatoes, etc,
one-tenth.e The comments of the writer
may possibly induce others to make an
economical investigation into their own
expenses. He -sayss- EoF 9VfA
I thus it is that three-Qusrters, Of what
you eat will be spent for your bread and
butter, your meat, fish, eggs audpotatoes
your coffee, tea, milk and sugar, for
twenty-four articles on 2 List of one hunr
dred and seven. Fresh vegetables besides
those named, VIII take one ffth Of what
is left; say five per cent of the whole ex-
pense. The doctor will order porter or
wine when your back aches. Have moth

for them. The rest, it is mace, it IS yeast,
It is vinegar, pepper, and mustard; it is

cred world Of trihes which make up the
visible difference betgeeu toe table Of
the high civilization and that of the
Abyssinian or the Blaokfoot Indian. Let
US hope it is not much cream Of tartar or

The President of The United States
made his mliden speech in Ssneamon Co.
at Pappasville Tor Richlsnd) IN the year
1922 He was then Wing and was
candidate for the Legislature Of this
State. The speech IS sharp and sensible.
To understand why il. was so short the
following facts will show: First Mr. Lin
coin was young mdn. say twenty-five
years of age, and timid. Second, his
friends and opponents, ia the joint dis
cussions, had rolled the sun nearly down.
Mr. Lincoln saw il was not the proper
time then to discuss the Questions fully,
and hence be cut his remarks short
Probably the other candidates had wholly
exhausted the subjects under discussion.
The time, according to W. H. Herndon's
infOrmarI-gho has kindly furnished this
valuable "reminiscences for us-wasI S32, il
may have been 1884. The President
lived at the time with James A. Hurdon,
at Salem Sangamon Co., who heard the
speech, talked about it. and knows the
report to be, correct. The speech which
was CHARACTERISTIC Of The man, was as fol-
lows:

Supposed Poisoning of Maj.
General Sheridan and Several
Officers OF his Command.
Correspondence Of the y. Y. Timcs)
" .Sur,.c-C,- Sundaxr N,,r A. I9f

WAsHINGToN, Sunday. Nov. q, 1864,
As the critical period has passed by
there can be no harm in stating the par
ticulars OF what at one time was quite an
aarL j y affair. The day before yesterday,
i4rn INST Msj- Gen. Sheridan, who has
been temporarily o Jping with Col. Ed
ward, Comma ldan IoI this Post, proceed
ed at the Upequan Railroad crossing, ac-
companied by several members of his staff,
Col. Edwards, Lieut.. Col. j @ Anderson.
Seventeenth Pennsy lyania Cavalry and
several other ofh GERS belonging to this
department. On the way out Capt. Moore,
of the Commanding Generals Staff, was
of denly seized with violent omiting
sud purging, and Wss so Ill that Col. An
derson procured q farmers wagon and sent
him back to his quarters m thia city. At
little later hour, Gen. Sheridan was
seized in the same manner, but he man
aged TO keep his horse until within two
miles of Winchester, when he was IN such
q condition as to be unable TO ride further.
An ambulance having been sent for. he
was removed 10 Coz. Edwards headouar-
tiers as speedily as possible, where the
General soon recovered, and rested during
the night. Up to this time the patients
had been attended by the Assistant Sur
geon of the Twenty-second New York
Cavalry. Ali that night Capt. Moore con-
tinued TO Vomit and purge, and at one
time there were grave doubts as to his
final recovery. Yesterday. however, there
was a marked improvement, and last night
he was considered out of danger. Lieut..
Col. Comstock, of Gen. Grants staff. Col
Edwards, and one or two other officers
felt unwell, but believe neither of them
Vomited.
These causes we're all similar in mani
/ festations, and there can be but little
doubt that, in some way or other, the par
ties had been polsOned-hOw or In what
way has not as yet been ascertained, but
the whole matter will undergo rigid in
vestigation.
The rumor that Gen. Sheridan had been
poisoned spread rapidly throughout the
department. and. as well may be supposed,
created intense excitement,
Up 10 the present time, thero is no ex-
PLANTATION of the matter, but 1t is supposed
the poison was IN some cheese. of which
all of the parties affected partook at Col
onel Edwards' headquarters just before
starting out on the expedition. 1t Is not
supposed that the poisoning was the re-
suit OF design, but accidental.
4 very large train passed over the road
| from Martinsburgh u Winchester to-day,
without interruption. Mosby is reported
Just ahead-of course.
