BREAD AND BUTTER.-Hall, in his journal
of Health, gives the following bit of wisdom:
Bread and butter are the only articles ofwhich
we never tire, from early childhood to extreme
old age. A pound of fine -four or Indian meal
contains three times as much meat as one pound
of butchers roast beef; and if the whole pro-
duct of the grain, bran and all were made into
bread, fifteen per cent. more of nutriment
would be added. Unfortunately, the bran, the
coarsest part of which gives soundness to the
teeth and strength to the brain, is generally
excluded. Five hundred pounds of -four give
te the body thirty pounds of the honey ailment
while the same quantity of bran gives more
than one hundred and twenty-five pounds
This bone is lime the phosphate of lime,
the indispensable ailment of health to the whole
human body, from the want of fthe natural sup
ply of which multitudes of persons 90 into a
general decline. But swallowing phosphate
in the shape of powders or in syrups, to cure
these declines has little or no effect The ar
ticles contained in these phosophates must pass
through natures laboratory be subject to her
manipulations in alembics specially prepared
by Almighty power and skill in order to frame
in palmer phrase the shortest, safest and infal-
lible method of giving strength to the body,
bone and brain, thereby arresting disease, and
building up the constitution, is to eat and di-
gest more bread made out of the whole grain,
whether wheat, corn, rye roats.

The LOSSES OF THE South. In long let
ter to the London Herald, ex-Lieutenant Mat
thew f. Maury, who is now in Paris, estimates
the losses of the South during the war at ST.
OO0,OOO,O0O. The loss by the emancipation Of
the slaves he estimates at $3,0O0000, 900; by
the war expenses, 1000, 900, 900; by destruc-
tion of private property, 81 100000 900; and by
taxation to pay the Northern war debt, 81 900,
100000 more-six per cent. interest on which
will be annually levied for taxes This enOr-
nous sum, he says, was the accumulated wealth
of centuries, and constituted nearly the whole
industrial capital of the South. Such destruc-
ton is deplorable; but why did not Maury and
his confederates count the cost before they took
