Fish as Food.

When butchers meat is so dear, and poor peo-
ye find it difficult to obtain a supply, il is
well to look about us and see what can be used
in is place, and thereby a penny, which is
equal to earning one Great mcat-eaters apt
to mistake stimulus for nouriShment Meat we
all know, much more stimulating than noursh-
ing and the person who keeps his aton,aoh and
blood excited By the flesh of warm-bluoded ani-
mails seldom feels satisfied with din
of fish. The stomach NAV be filed with it.
and still the man feels the want of something to
excite his blood and make him feel as ii he had
made hearty dinner Now, fish alone will not
have this effect upon the system of man vino is
n real beefester. He wait Is to eat his fish and
then stuff in beef, which produces the usual
stimulus and he feels satisfied.
The soft fibre of fish is more easily digested
than the muscles that form flesh There is in
fish, also, substance that is not found in flesh of
of land animals. We refer to iodine, which tends
to prevent scroulous and tubercular diseases that
afflict those in the higher ranks of life. IL has
been proved by analysis that the solid matter oil

sication or the expulsion OF the aqueous part, Is
very little inferior to meat, game or poultry

proof. The 'ichthyOphngist suffers much less
from i'll health than the meat-eater The most
healthy, robust and prolific families are those

And loftily he bore his crest!
His straps We're on,
His buttons shone-
His sword too bright to gaze upon.

Then asked with dread
''Who'll number Capt'n Lincoln's deRd?'
But none could say,
What hosts some day
Must fall before him in the fray
And so he went

half Of Mr.. Lincoln's administration, rally to
his support, if he will now, as then, conduct

1t is, to conservative men, an extremely
gratifying as well as a significant fact, that,
at the present moment, when the country has
success within its grasp, and glory written
all over its standards, not one OF the names OF
those who have produced these results Is
linked either in feeling or organization with
the fanatical portion of the dominant pohtcal
party. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and
Thomas are the men, not one OF whom IS
fanatic :; not one of whom fought or ever
struck blow in this war simply for the pur-
pose of giving freedom to the negro. Butler,
Hooker, Banks, Burnside, aud others OF the
kind, had no hand in the GROWING triumph
of our arms. The men who fought and won
the battle are soldiers, and men who fought
solely against armed rebellion. and never In
the Interests of God and humanity"
When the news of the fall OF Richmond rvavh-
ed here, there grew an impression that the troops
which occupied the rebel capital we're negroes.
