The French physicians are running
furious tilt against tobacco, proving by
rigid statistics that insanity aud Varf-
Gus affections especially dependent
upon the nervous system, increase in
proportion to the consumption of the
weed. Meanwhile the English, and not
u few American physicians, are reck-
lessly carrying alcohol in the opposite
direction, and reinstRting it in the po-
sition of a universal preserYative of
health and remedy for disease, which it
gained centuries ago as "dQuG utica"
we say they are doing so;-rather let
us say, haze 6eeTl-for some are already
on the back track, and we find in our
medical journals, both domestic and
foreign, proofs that the profession be-
gin to regard with suspicion and alarm
the universal alcoholic medication of
the past decade. In ten years more we
shall probablD have a Saxon crusade
against alcohol, similar to that against
tobacco whichis now popular in France,
The wheel which formerly required a
hundred years to turn, now turns in
twenty. And we hope to see some of
our prominent leaders, particularly in
Great Britain, opening their eyes to the
'weighty truth that they have sown the
germs OF CHASTITY crop, when under the
authority of medical science they re-
stored Intoxicating beverages to their
fatal supremacy In social and domestic

Bread for the Rones. 70
ad and butter are the only articles

Bread and butter are the only articles
OF food of which 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
onepound of butchers roast beef: and
II the whole product of the grain, bran
and all, We're made into bread, fifteen
per cent more of nutriment would be
added. Unfortunately the bran, the
coarsest part. is thrown away; the very
part which gives soundness TO the teeth
and strength to the brain. Five hun-
dred pounds of flour gives to the body
thirty pounds of bony element, while
the same quantity of bran gives more
than one hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
pounds. This bone is lime-the phos-
phate of 1ime-the Indispensable ele-
nIent of health to the whole human
body, from the want of the natural
supply of which muItitudes of persons
go into a general decline. But swat

salest and most infallible method of
giving strength to the body, bone and
iprain, thereby arresting disease, and
Duliding up the constitution, is to eat
and digest more bread made out of the
whole grain, whether of wheat, corn,

Concerning Rebel Memorial AssOeIR-

Editors THteLLigencer
Looking over the TFi- Weekly INTEL
LIGENCER of the Sd, see an article
upon Mourning for the Confederate
Dead. Mourning for the dead, would
surely seem to be something to which
none might object; but am sorry to
say thatwe of the interior counties are
forced 70 concur in your opinion; that
the pretended walls for the misguided
men.Who sleep peacefully enough be-
meath nag that shades their graves as
teuderly as 1t shielded their births. are
but SO many rebel shrieks of defiance
against the government, both State and
Federal. mo =
An incident occurred in our little
town, on the Fourth of July, which
though of small Importance, will serve
to fully illustrate the spirit of the ma
lority of these reconstructed monrners.
Ihe sabbath School of the place cele.
brated the day by a basket picnic, in a
grove short distance from the town,
where speeches, music, and handsome
dinner, free to all who came, were
made the "order of the day." All
were invited regardless of opinion
during the war; but no, the conserve
tlVes chose rather TO mourn on that
day of National Independence, and ac-
cordingly all visited Rich Mountain
and the other battle grounds in the
vicinity for that purpose. A proceed
ing to which no one would have object
ed had not the cloven foot been so
plainly displayed in the ending. "4
Upon their return to the town, their
marshal of the day, very politely re-
quested the Unionists "to remove the
stars and stripes from the Court House,
as they wished to enter" for speeches;
but this very modest request not being
granted, they adjourned to private
residence near by.s .Il=l. szs--= -. --T

sun-hlled eyes cannot discern them;
they pass athwart us in thin Vapor, and
cannot make themselves felt. But
sometimes they are made flesh; they
breathe upon us with warm breath,
they touch us with soft, responsive
hands, they look at us with sad, sincere
eyes, and speak to us in appealing
tones; they are clothed in living hui

views, excepting that which appeared
in his home organ, the Galena Gdzette,

that Gen. Grant would respond to the
demands of the loyal men to save the
country in timeof peace as he had saved

A JERSEY CRY minister of the Cos
pei celebrated his wooden wedding
Cfifth anniversary the other day. The
Jersey City Times says: 1850
Their friends, remembering that it
was the wooden wedding occasion, CON
cluded to supply them with a respecta-
bly, sized and assorted wood pile. We
noticed two ladies whose head-dress
was peculiarly appropriate and sugges-
tive. 1t consisted of a set of curls and
ringlets of pine shuViaiys, and, for this
occasion, we considered it the best style
of false hair exhibited. The extent and
variety of the wooden presents brought
in to make up the wood pile would as
tonish the reader if we could give a full
inventory. There was everything, from
,bunches of kindling wood, matches and
a saw-horse, up to heavy furniture, a
sewing machine and elegant toilet and
writing-desk articles. An elegant sew
ing machine, two Swiss clocks, baby
jumper, several barrels (not empty
and an endless variety of kitchen Ak
ings were in the lot. Altogether it was
a most pleasant party. and although
strictly numbering affair, was in no
respect dull or heavy.
