tons will not satisfy. In that event
we would find ourselves involved in
| foreign war which would be no
child's play.
Already, to quote the concluding
remarks Of the Courier on this sub
iect, we have an Irish Republic in
our midst, ostensibly making grand
! preparations for the deliverance of
Ireland from British rule; and al
though our sympathies are naturally
with the enterprise, yet we cannot
be blind to the fact that it may bring
us into disagreeable relations with
England, and it may be involve us
in actual war. If at the same time
that this danger threatens, we di-
rectly or indirectly bring upon our
selves war with Mexico and the
supporting powers, we shall have
work enough upon our hands to last
us for the next quarter of century
A war with the European powers,
and indeed with anybody, should be
avoided at any honorable sacrifice.
We cannot afford to indulge in any
such luxury. We have had enough
Of fighting to satisfy the present
generation and to put our finances
into an exceedingly precarious con-
dition. Six months of war with
England and France would reduce
the value of greenbacks to about ten
cents of Confederate currency the
steamboat load. Our whole financial
system would be wrecked, and uni
versal bankruptcy would be the con-
sequence. Let the Government see
to it that we are not compromised
with foreign Governments by the
plundering schemes of needy and
reckless Adventures.
P. S.-Since the foregoing was put
in type, we see it stated that the Gov
eminent at Washington will notify its
officers on the Rio Grande at once
that strict neutrality must be observed
BY them in Mexican matters.

STRANGE STORY OF HYDRoPHo-

STRANGE STORY OF HYDRoPHO-
BEA.-Mr, Henry Drew, Assistant
Superintendent Of Public Property,
has related to us the particulars of a
case of hydrophobia, at the village
Of Waterloo, which surpasses in
tragic interest almost any story of
the kind ever read.
Some six or seven years ago a
mad dog went through the village of
Waterloo, Jefferson county, and bit
number Of animals. Among others
it snapped at the leg of cow be-
longing to Mr.. Babcock. The ami
NAL was examined but no mark was
found and it was supposed that it
escaped being bitten. The animal
was afterwards sold to q man by the
name of Garrison, who used her milk
very freely, as did two of his chill
dren. Some Of the neighbors, in
GLIDING Mr.. Drew's family. were also
supplied with the milk of this cow.
At different times during the time
since the cow was bitten there has
been inexplicable and fatal sickness
among those using her milk, and two
children of Mr.. Garlison's, two of
Mr., Drew's, and two others, have
been attacked with spasms and died
in great agony. Mr.. Garrison has
also been attacked at times with
spasms. The mystery of this sick
ness was solved by the death, with
every symptom of hydrophobia, a
short time ago, Of the cow so slightly
bitten seven years ago, and in whose
system madness has been latent ever
since.
The case is a singular one and
worthy the attention of scientific
men.-Madison Was. J Journal.

GEN. CRAwFoRD.-From an APP
parently reliable article before us, it
appears that Gen. Q. Clay Crawford,
who is "bobbing around" on the
Texas frontier, possesses anything
but an envable reputation-in fact
his antecedents are decidedly bad.
He was some years ago at West
Point as a cadet, aud was dismissed
after two years study, for theft He
subsequently went into Nicaragua
with Walker, and about the outbreak
of the late war was in the Virginia
penitentiary for some offense. He
was Captain of battery of artillery
in the Union service, fraudulently
secured a muster in as Lieut.. Col. of
the regiment, and held the appoint
ment as Col. Of that regiment and
also of colored regiment, to neither
Of which be was mustered up to the
time of his dismissal. About year
or eighteen months ago be was dis
missed from the service by court
martial, upon charges of stealing

GE The Gas Company affirms
that it has been losing money by the
high rates of labor and material it has
had to pay during the last two years,
and justiies it's attempt to evade the
act Of the Legislature limiting
the rates of gas by reference to
this increase Of expense. The only
asnwer we have had to make to this
assertion is by reference to the quo
tation of the stock, which will b.
found in our money article. The
hundred aud seventy dollars for
share, which originally cost one hun
dred dollars, with limitation of in.
terest to 10 per cent is rather a

high rates Of wages for labor and pri-
ces for materials !-New Orleans

eat a great deal and have excellent
health, because they will be doing
something all the time, until they
become so tired that they fall asleep /;
and as soon as they wake, they
begin right away to run about again !;
thus their whole existence 10 spent
in alternate eating, and sleeping, and
exercise, which is interesting and
pleasurable. The health of childhood
would be enjoyed by those OF maturer
years, if, like children, they would
eat only when they are hungry; stop
when they have done; take rest in
sleep as soon as they are tired 4; and,
when not eating or resting, would
spend the time diligently in such
muscular activities as would be in
teresting, agreeable, and profitable.
Exercise, without mental elasticity,
without an enlivenment of the feel
ings and the mind, is of compare
lively little value.
l. Exercise is health producing,
because it works off and out of the
system its waste, dead and effete
matters these are all converted into
liquid form, called by some "hu-
mors," which have exit from the
body through the "pores" of the
skin in the shape Of perspiration,
which all have seen, and which all
know is the result of exercise, when
the body is in a state of health.
Thus it is, that persons who do not
perspire, who have dry skin, are
always either feverish or chilly, and
are never well, and never can be as
long as that condition exists. SO
exercise, by working out of the sys-
tenn its waste, decayed and useless
matter, keeps the human machine
3" free;" otherwise it would soon
clog up, and the wheels of life would
stop forever
2. Exercise improves the health,
because every step man takes tends
to impart motion to the bowels
proper amount of exercise keeps
them acting once in every twenty
four hours if they have not motion
enough, there is constipation, which
brings on very many fatal diseases
hence exercise, especially that of
walking, wards off innumerable dis
eases, when it is kept up to an ex-
tent equal to inducing one motion of
the bowels daily.
3. Exercise is healthful, because
the more we exercise the faster we
breathe. If we breathe faster, we
take that much more air into the
lungs; but it is the air we breathe
which purifes the blood, and the |
more air we take in, the more per-
Feetly is that process performed the
purer the blood is, and as everybody
knows, the better the health must be.
Hence, when a PERSONS lungs are
impaired, he does not take in enough
air for the wants of the system; that
being the case, the air he does breathe
should be the purest possible, which
s outdoor air. Hence, the more
,onsumptiye stays in the house, the
more certain and more speedy is
lis death.

LATEST FROM BAGDAD.-Ih hi 6
place, with the illustrious oriental
name, is now the focus Of considera-
BILE interest, and bids fair to occupy
as prominent page in history as
the Bagdad of olden time did during
the classic and poetic periods of
Haroun al Raschid and FL Hafez.
The latest news from the sacked
city on the shores of the Rio Grande
is up to the goth instant. We con-
dense as follows:
The fillibusters were reported for
tifying the place with cotton bales
surmounted with siege guns received
from Brazos Santiago.
Federal officers had gone in squads
to several foreign residents in Bagdad
and forced them to make affidavits
that the pillaging of Bagdad had in
no wise been done or participated in
by Federal officers or soldiers, in
Guiding niggers.
These afidavits are undoubtedly
for use at Washington, where, it is
presumed, the counter afidavits of
the same parties, if they should
have opportunity to make them, will
not go.
Three men of war and four trans
ports had arrived off Boca del Rio
from Vera Cruz, and as firing was
heard in that direction it was thought
probable that the work of retaking
Bagdad had been inaugurated.
The Ranchero of Matamoras of
the 18th says:
We conversed with several pas
sengers who left Bagdad yesterday
morning They reported nothing of
Importance.
Bandit Cortina, with force of
forty men had arrived at GAINESVILLE.
1t was understood that he was going
to take supreme command at Bagdad
There was two separate commands
in Bagdad. One under Col. Lyon,
Of the Federal army, and the other
one outlaw. We were told that only
by the two commands keeping
jealous watch ON each other, was
there order in the sacked city.
War vessels were in the otfing to
the number of three-one having left
the day before, southwark bound.
We have assurances that the fill
busters and outlaws continue to
quarrel among themselves; and that
most of them are thoroughly dis
couraged. The prospect is good for
general breaking up of the unholy
alliances and combinations which
keep this frontier in con slant alarm.

Philosophy OF EXERCIsE.-We
take the following instructive article
from a late number of Halls Journal
Of Health:
All know that the less we exercise
the less health we have, and the
more certain we are to die before our
time. But comparatively few per-
sons are able to explain how exercise
promotes health. Both beast and
bird, in state of nature, are exempt
from disease, except in rare cases; it
is because the unappeasable instinct
of searching for their necessary food,
impels them to ceaseless activities.

The unhappy student replied not a
word his feelings were too deep for ut
terance. The "other little darlings" ar
rived. Reuben was six years, James
nine, and Augustus saucy boy oftwelve.
They were delighted to hear they had a
papa, because they could now live at
home, and have all the playthings they
wanted. The "new papa" as soon as he
could speak, remarked that Augustus and
James did not resemble Reuben and
