CurIOsitIes Of Eating.

An old beau, formerly well known II
Washington City, was accustomed TO ea
but one meal in twenty -four hours; if aftel
this he had to 60 to a party and take
second dinner, he ate nothing all the
next cay. He died at the age OF seventy
A lady of culture, refinement and un
usual powers OF observation and compar
lson became widow. Reduced from al
huence to poverty, with large family o
small children dependent on her manua
labor for daily food, she made variety o.
experiments to ascertain what article:
could be purchased for the least money
and would at the same time ''gO the far
therest," by keeping her children Longest
from crying Tor something to eat. She
soon discovered that when they ate buck
wheat cakes and molasses, the were quiet
for a longer time than alter eating any
other kind OF food.
A distinguished Judge of the United
States Court observed that when he TOOK
buckwheat cakes for breakfast, he coulC
sit on the bench the whole day without
being uncomfortabIy hungry; if the cakes
were omitted he telt obliged TO take {
lunch about noon. Buckwhest cakes are
a universal iavorite at the winter break
fast table, and scientific investigation ano
analysis has shown that they abound il
the transforming principle; hence natur'
takes aWsy our appetite for them IN sum
mer.
During the Irish famine, when many
died of hunger, the poor were often found
spending their last shilling for tea, tObac
co and spirits, Il has also been observed
in New York, by those connected with
charitable institutions, that when money
was paid to the poor they often laid il al
out in tea and coffee, instead of procuring
more substantial food, such as meal, fol.'
and potatoes. On being reproved for tbs
apparent extravaganza and improyidence
the universal cry was in both cases iden
tical; their own observation had shown
them that penny's worth of tea, tobac
co or liquor, would keep of the sense o.
hunger longer than "A penny's worth o.

If a person gets into the habit of tax

A SONG


BY EsTERIA.
The red lip of the dawn
The crimson sunset sky
The autumn s scarlet leaf
All bring me pain Oh whyy
A pure heart that loved.
Hath hesyed its last dear sigh;
Sweet suniit hopes Of joy
Meath autumn leaves now lie.
His crimson blood that fell,
Hath left my life a pale
AS the lips / loved sa we'll.
That rest IN Shiloh vale
So, when see stain
OF red. on leaf or sky
1t wakes anew my pain,
And Ihave spoken why.
For tits the hue of blood,
And to my anguish seems
The hillowy battle food,
O'errun with CORY streams.

SAD AccIpENr.-A coal miner in No.

sad accident, caused bS the fallingyef a
quantity of soapstone. AboutY ten
o'clock in the morning, while the work
men were busy digging out coal, a heavy
mass of sOapstone gave way and fell to
the ground striking Mr.. Scott in the
back and telling him to the ground. One
side of the stone fell upon post, and
one of the ends struck another stone,
which alone saved the unfortunate man
from instant death Hisfellow- workmen
rushed to the rescue, and with the aid of
crowbars soon raised the. stone suf-
ficiently to extricate him from under the
fallen mass. He was conveyed to his
residence on Fifth street, and DR.. Cum
mings was called and dressed the wound.
1t was found that the spine was badly
injured, if not fractured, and but little
hope was entertained for his recovery
Mr.. Scott was middle aged man, and
has for many years been engaged as a
coal miner in the bank where he met

one third of the distilleries in the United

great diminution of the quantity distilled

tax under the acts preceding that passed
at the present session of Congress. The
internal revenue tax on distilled spirits,
first proof, during the past fiscal year
was: From July l, 1863, to March z,
1854, twenty cents per gallon; and from
March 7, 1864, to June 80, 1864, sixty
cents per gallon. This produced s2S, 43l'-
