A New York spiritualist named En-
ma J. Bulline, has been enlightening
New York audiences as to the expert
ences Of Gen. Scott in the spirit world.
She has seen him dressed in suit of
pearly hue of white, or grayish, silver
shade. A scarf hung pendent from his
left shoulder, being held there by three
silyery stars as the symbol of his rank.
A sword Of golden hue hung by his
right side. It had a adouble-edged blade,
the handle being studded with diamonds,
rubes, emeralds and topazes. Upon his
right stood Washington; upon his left
stood Wellington; in front of him stood
Napoleon; on the left stood the late Car
of Russia. The statesmen who received
him were Washington, Madison, Jefier-
son, Jackson and Taylor. The others
were Clay, Webster, Douglas and Wash

MULTUM IN PARvo.--In a long letter
from Horace Greeley to Gov. Perry, of
South Carolina, which appeared in late
number of the Tribune, the following
pithy paragraph occurs: "Let me say
once for all, tnat | make no professions
of love for the negro race, and that your
claim to superior regard for or interest
in the black race is wholly unrivalled.
do not love negroes as negroes; like
whites better; but l comprehend that
justice is all mems true interest, and
that u wrong done to the humblest, the
most despised, is an injury and peril
to ALL Ny superior regard for the white
race leads me to protest against and seek
to prevent, to foreclose, to preclude any
injustice by it to any race or class what
ever. Are not you Christian enough TO
realize that it is more lamentable to do
wrong than to suffer ito If you are, why
need constantly repel this assumption
that am impelled by special affection
for blacks ?'

would prove to be good. A boy nine
years Of age was recently brought In for
examination by his mother, and having
a twenty-five inch brain, we advised
him never to touch tobacco, because 1t
had such n tendency to induce the blood
to the brain and keep the body lean and

said her husband used tobacco for ten
or more years, becoming lean, bilious
and sickly; that when he became SO
weak and ill that he could hardly walk
or sit up, he would smoke several cigars
day. Finally the doctors informed
him that he must quit using tobacco or
go to his grave. This brought him to
his senses, and he resolved to try the
experiment. From that day he used
no more, aud in three months time he
went from weight of 1870 up to ls5
pounds, and became as hardy, healthy,
and robust man as could be seen in a

is not good for boys, and she is sure it is
not good for men. She is determined
If parents could realize the extent of the
evil resulting from the use of tobacco,

We believe ii this subject could b,

have defective teeth.
We believe ii this subject could be
brought home to the conscience of every
mother in the land, so that she would
believe the truths here stated, that rad
ical change would take place in cookery,
and generation would hardly pass by
without showing an universally improv-
ed condition Of the teeth of Americans
Ignorance on this subject is the cause of
this great evil, for we are unwilling to
impute this enormous sin to our moth
ers as one of deliberate or even thought
less commission.
Every one knows, or should know,
that errors in diet cause imperfect diges-
ton Of the food received into the stomach.
Consequently IL -is~not assimilated OF
converted into blood. The coarser parts
of food are necessary to perfect digestive
and assimilative processes. It is no
matter why. 1t is enough for us to know
the fact. Nature requires obedience to
her laws, and if they are nullified, pun
ishment follows, if not swiftly, yet sure
ly. q"
How necessary is it, then, that this
subject should receive the utmost atten-
tion of parents. 1t has hitherto been
too much the custom to leave all this, as
belonging entirely to nature-as thing
we had nothing to do with. We have
been too much in the habit of consider
ing that nature furnished her own ma
terials, and man had nothing to do with
her operation. p. T. SMITH.
