10 compel the attendance OF witnesses In
his behalf- Let the points of law toe duly
adiudicated- Let be made plain. if ANY
LANGUAGE can be palmer than The consiiiu-
ton of the United States on that point,
what treason against the Unitel States
docs consist in. Let Us know If the hold
ing of any abstract doctrines Whatsoever
can legally mitigate the concrete guilt ol
lerying war against the United States
Let all palliating circumstances, if there
are any, be urged- Let also the fact OF
hls copSplring against the government
while he WAS a paid member of The GOV
ernmcnt, be laid alongside the subsequent
overt acts. Let an impartial Jury decide
upon the facts. Let an upright and con-
scienlious Judge pronounce lhe law And
if the verdict be Guilty, then let the rio-
lated majesty OF law take lis simple and
onward course Let no executive elem
encv come In 10 snap the lie which God
has knit between guilt and itS appropriate
desert. Let the arch traitor die. MOI

Baron Liobig's Soup for Children.

With that remarkable estimation of the
greatness of small things which is one of
the most valuable of his high intellectual
qualities, and with tender appreciation
of the importante of small people, Baron
Liebig devotes a special article in an Eng
lish scientific periodical to the description
of new article of diet which he con-
ceives to SO the most fitting substitute for
the natural nutriment for those children
who are by circumstance. robbed of their
mothers milk. 1t is we'll known that
cows milk does not adequately represent
the milk of healthy woman, and when
wheaton flour is added, "a it commonly is,
Liebie points out that. although starch Is
not uniting for the nOurishment OF the
infant. the change of it into sugar in the
stomach during digestion imposes an un-
necessary labor on the organization, which
will be spared if the starch be beforehand
transformed into the soluble forms OF sugar
and dextrine. This he effects by adding
to the wheaton flour certain quality of
malt AS wheaton flour and malt flour
contain less alkali than womsns milk, he
supplies it when preparing the SOUP
This soup" may be shortly prepared as
follows: Half an ounce of whcaten flour
and an equal quantity Of malt flour, seven
grains and a qnarter Of bicarbonate of
potash, and one ounce of water are to be
we'll mixed five ounces of cows milk are
then to be added. and the whole put on a
gentle fire; when the mixture beg gins to
thicken it is removed from the fire, stirred
during five minutes, heated and stirred
again till it becomes quite fluid, and final
ly made to boil. After the separation OF
the bran by sieve, it is ready for Use
BY boiling it for few minutes it loses all
taste Of the flour.
The immediate inducement for his max
ing the soup was that one of his grandchil-
dren could not he sucked by his mother,
and that another required, besides it:
mothers milk, \ more concentrated food
In both cases. as we'll as in other tamilie,
where IT had been introduced, the soup
proved an excellent food. the children
thrived perfectly well, and many a petty
suffering disappeared after some week:
use of the soup. He often takes it pre-
pared with ten parts of milk and tw,
parts OF malt flour, with tea, for hi:
breakfast. He adds that DR.. Eol
Pfeufer, the most renowned physician il
Munich, has induced the apothecaries o
the town to keep for sale a mixture o
half an ounce of malt flour and sever
grains and a quarter of bicarbonate o
potash; milk and wheat flour being sup
posed to be in every house. The nal
flour ought always to be freshly mad
from the malt.-Ldncet

Song of Saratoga.
BY JOHN G.. SAKE.

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
Pray what do they do at the isprings!"
The question is easy to ask;
But to answer it fully, my dear
Were rather serious task.
And vet. in a bantering way
As the magpie Or mocking bird sings
I'll venture a sort of song
To tell what they do at the Springs:
Impri"eis my darling they drink
The waters SO sparkling and clear
Though the flavor l. none of the best,
And the odor exceedingly queer;
But the fluid is mingled, you know,
With Wholesome medical things:
So they drink. and they drink. and they drink,
And that's what they do at the Springs.
Them with appeti.es keen as knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dine
THE latter precisely at three
The former from seven till nine )
r. gods, what rustic and rush
When the eloquent dinner bell rings
And they eat, and they eat, and they eat
And that's what they do at the Springs.
Now they stroll in the beautiful walk
Or loll in the shades of the trees,
Where many whisper is heard
That never is told by the breeze:
Aud hands are colnminging with hands,
Regardless of conjugal rings;
And they tllrt, and they tlirt, and they tirt-
And that's what they do at the Springs.
The drawing rooms now are ablaze
And the music is shrieking away
Terp-ichore governs the hour,
And fashion was never so gay
An arm round a taporing wRist-
How closely and tondly it clings
So they waltz and they waltz, and they waltz
And that's what they do at the Syringe
In rhort-as il goes in the world
They eat, and they drink, and they sleep
They talk, and they walk, and they WOO,
They sigh, and they laugh, and they weep,
They read, and they ride, and they dance,
with other unspeakable thingsl
They pray, and they play, and they pas-
And that's what they do at the Springs.
