The EH,cg Of Alcoholic Bg'iuks i,itd So
bpcUO non Health.


The following curious passage occurs IN the
siyrh annual report ot the Regi,,sar.G neral of
Scotland .-"AI classes are agreed as 10 the evils
produced by the abuse o. stirulacd acoho'i,)
drinks, and OF tUhuCgr. Egt % certain class dsoTy
even ne use ui these, and point 10 the statistics
asa uuu phal Iront thc haurlui rtl,ct OF such
SIUulants uru scuutiyy.. No such uDUn,Us lon
cen hg drawn from such statistics aud tAis may
le woycd in the must satisfactory mlnu r. Co.
lauCO nrd stimulating drinks aC almost CNclu-
siyely consumed by males, 9gl by almost
one uuaor fifteen wears Of age. Yet Nc Il l
that in every bundled thousand NAILS uud Il
hitctn years OF age, uraiu diseases cut of au-
InalIy thIce hundred and thirty seven persons ;
whereas In an equal numbcr of females, only
two hundred and scyCnty-siE are cut Of by the
same diseases. At the very period Of life, there
fore, when neither sex use these so called ObnON-
iOus articles, the male tendency to these diseases
is so much greater than il is i'm the female that
three hundred and thrty-seyen males die for
every two huudrad and seventy six females.
Above fifteen years Of age, when for argument 8
sake, we may allow that the female does not
consume these articles or az least, that the num-
Der who does 80 insignificant as not to affect the
general results, while the male both uses and in
many cases abuses them, instead Of finding that
the relative proportion of male degths frem these
diseases increases, we find that il rather dimin-
ishes; SO that while above fifteen years of age
two hundred and seventeen males die from these
diseases in every hundred thousand males, one
hundred and sixty. four females die out Of a like
number Of females.
But the subject may be viewed ia a more
striking light stili by taking the proportion of
each sex who die from these diseases above and
under fifteen years Of age. By this It will be
found that the relative tendency to death from
these brain diseases IN persons above fifteen
years OF age was greater IN the female than IN the
male. The only conclusion, therefore, which
seems deducibe from these facts appears 20 be
that, in so Rr as the statistics of these deaths 20
there is evidence m fhut la
ton OF alcoholic liquors Qncludug every form
wine, beer, spirits, &c., or Of tobacco Injuries the
general health Of the population. On the other
hand, the evidence seems rather 20 favor the idea
that the moderate use Of these articles by The
mass Of the people so improves their health a, 10
ectas a cOunterpOise to the undoubtedly injurious
and fatal effects 10 which the abuse leads in tue
few"

joy OF TIE ooNrRABANps.

AT intervals of every few miles families
of negroes were gathered by the roadside,
exchanging words of salutation to our sol
diers as they passed, and grinning all over
their faces. ''Massa's gone away, GEM
men," was the answer in almost all cases
where thequery in relation to their masters
whereabouts was raised. 'Spees he gwan
to oRichmon'. Dun know. He went away
in a right quick hurry last night; OATS all |
know" A sight of the fine, athletic, plump
appearance of some Of negroes, Of both sex
es and all ages, would have driven negro
trader crazy, especially when he became
convinced the fact that, accordingto the
terms of President Lincoln's proclamation,
these negroes are free the moment the lines
of the Yankee army close in upon them.
It was pleasing spectacle, and comming
led with not little pathos, to hear the ben
'edictions which the aged and infrm ne
groes, poured out upon our soldiers as
they marched by. '.Pse been waitin' for
you" said an old negro, whose eyesight
was almost gone, and whose head was COW
cred with frosts of some eighty-five winters.
'.Ah, Pse been waiten' fer you gem'men
some time. i knew you was comm, kase
| heerd massa and misses often talkin'
about you," and then the old hero chuck
led, and almost ground his ivories out of
his head.-Cor. Phi. Inquirer.

startling DeveIopments.

During the past few months several respecta-
bic young girls of our city, as well as others IN
the Western part of the State, have mysteri-
Ously disappeared from their homes. and no
trace could be possibly asceftained of their
whereabouts notwithstanding the most diligent
search was made for them. Recently, however
some startling developments have come to light
through the arrest of young girl named Jennie
Thompson, at Utica, who was attiFed IN male
habilaments, and went under the assumed name
of James Thompson. Upon searching her some
enormously rascally documents were found,
making startling revelations. There was aman-
uscript copy of what purported to be the con-
stitution and bylaws of the ''Knights of the
Secret Circle In this document the objects
of the Circle are said TO be TO kidnap and send
to New York city houses Of prostitution young
and virtuOus girls 1t is stated that after their
being kidnapped, drug is to be administered
to them, and their action under its influence
will determine whether or not they are virtu-
ous If not, they are to be released. (We may
say here that there is no drug which viii deter
mine any such question: The manuscript is
signed by twenty-for persons, members Of the
Secret Circle. A Carey, of Albany, is presi-
dent, and Cary and one Patrick Farrell are di-
rectors Other names among the twenty -four
are those of Theodore and Hiram Andrews and
their wives. Appended is list of nine young
girls whose abduction is considered feasible and
advisable One of these, Esther A. Parks, who
disappeared May 10th, and Miss Barnett, daugh-
ter of Hon. James Barnett, both of Oneida Co.
Also the names of three men (Gerrit Smith, G.
d. Miller, and - Stewart, who haze been
marked for vengeance. This is one of the most
damnable organizations ever conceived by
wicked minds.-AEbony RRiekerb0cker.

GENERAL RICE TO HIS MOTHER.

The following is an extract from the last
letter written by Gen. James C.. Rice, Just
before the battles in Virginia Wilderness, in
one of which he lost his life, to his aged
mother, who lives in Washington:
''We are about to commence the cam
paign, the greatest in magnitude, strength
and importance since the beginning of the
war. God grant that victory may crown
our arms; that this wicked rebellion may
be crushed, our Union preserved, and peace
and prosperity again be restored to our be-
loved country. My faith and hope and
confidence are in God alone, and | know
that you feel the same. | trust that God
may again graciously spare my life, as He
has in the past and yet one cannot fall too
early if, loving Christ, he dies for his coun-
try. My. entire hope is in the cross of my
Saviour. In this hope | am always happy.
Wepray here in the army, mother, Just the
same as at home. The same God who
watches over you, also guards me. | al
ways remember you, in my prayers, and |
know you never forget me in yours. All
| am, under God, owe to you, my dear
mother. Do you recolleet this passage in
the Bible: 'Thou shalt keep therefore the
statues, that it may 90 well with thee, and
thy children after thee" How true this is
in respect to your children mother. Ihope
YOU will read the Bible, and trust the prom
ices to the last. There is no book like the
Bible for comfort. 1t is a guide to the steps
of the young-a staff to the aged.

rWuIGHT PICTTREs.

Did you never, when walking through
the streets at dusk, notice the pretty pictures
through basement windows, as one after
another the household lamps are lighted
There is little fellow climbing into his
high chair at the table beside papa and
holding his ROSY mouth for kiss. Oh,
what viii keep that father and husband I'M
spotted from the world, ifthe touch of those
pure, trusting lips fail to do it.
Look again into the window The eldest
daughter sits at the table, reading book,
her smoothed braided hair and dropping
eyelids; she is reading aloud; and moth
er sits by listening, with an honest pride in
goodness and beauty. And now they
look up, the book is closed and the girl
springs to the door, and we see fathers
embrace and kiss, and mamma is well con-
tent to wait her turn, for is she not, the
bright haired gifl, their child
Look again. The fire burns brightly.
By its light you can see man walking the
floor with baby's cheek pressed against
his; the little thing is sick, and mamma is
weary with tending it, and looks ON with
pleased smile at the not ungraceful way
in which her husband handles the little
creature and sooths him to sleep. All see
he kisses the mothers forehead as replaces
the baby in her arms. Was she weary
when he came back from the office? Pre-
haps 50, but she has forgotten it now.

stOppage of the Rebel Rams in France.


The French Government has wisely eon-
eluded to detain the two iron-cIads and four
clipper ships which were being built at
Nantes and Bordeaux, under 3 ontract for
the rebels and for their use. Ithaving been
authoFatatively announced inBordeaux that
one of those iron elads would sail on the
10th June and the other On the 10th July,
Mr.. Dayton, our minister in Paris, was IN
structed 20 ask explanations of the French
Government. A despatch received at
Washington from Mr.. Dayton, says that
May 10th N. Drouyn de Lhuys had not
only informed him that the two iron elads
now being constructed by Armand, at BOr-
deaux, under contract with the COnfeder-
ates, had been positively sold to neutral
Power, but he also assured Mr.. Dayton,
distinctiyely, that the four clipper ships in
course of construction at Bordeaux and
Nantes, under ike contract with the Con
federates, should not be delivered to them.
The language of NJ Drouyn de Lhuys was
explicit; and the United State Government
is understood to have expressed its satisfac-
ton with this disposition of an embarras-
ing subject, which threatened to disturb
the friendly relations Of the two countries.

GRANTS FIRST PRoPoslTIoN AND HIS
LAsE-At the opening of Gen. Grants
military career at Fort Donelson, he sent
proposition to Gen. -Buckner, who had
requested cessation of hostilities after two
days fighting, in these words: '.Ipropose
to move Immediately ON your works.
We have had but few propositions from
him till now, when he makes another, af-
ter six days fighting propose, says
he, ITO fight it out on this line if it takes
all Summer Both these proposals are
very cool, butterribly determined.--1 Tines,
