C0Gee.and. Wine.

At a recent meeting OF the Ac-
ademy OF Svisnce In New York, q
paper WAS read detailing the results
of experiments made to acertain the
Psychological effects Of different kinds
Of food when taken into the human
system. Coffee and wine were sta
Ted to be the types of two great class
es OF food which, acting through the
body, have . determined influence
upon the states Of the inner man, the
former effecting the intellect and the
nerves Of motion, and the latter the
sensibilities and the nerves OF sensa-
tion. Strong coffee swallowed slow.
ly for a period Of several days, after
a fast Of forty hours, quickened the
mental powers but deadened the
sympathies. Wine, ON the other
hand, taken in the same manner
awakened the emotional nature and
intensified the feelings, whether be.
nevolent or mslevolent, but rendered
the mind sluggish. The majority of
articles used as food were regarded
as occupying a middle place between
these two classes.

MIX sickness.

The Medical and Surgical Repor.
ter states that the affection known ss
milk sickness, is caused by eating
the white snake root, EupatoriuN m
Agerato,ds. This discovery seems
to have been make by three separate
observers at about the same time.
One OF them, Mr.. William Jerry OF
Edwinsville, In 1860, gathered this
plant by mistake for the ncttle, and
ate it as boiled greens. On tho day
following he was suddenly seized
with violent trembling, prostration
and fa,ntness, and on the next day
vomiting and violent stretching. He
did not recover in Eve years, and in
the meantime tried the plant on do.
mestic animals, with similar results.

flooded the country with circulars TO
the effect that said firm was in pos.

OF q pressing need Of money, they
would sell at prices greatly below

Chiregraphical Delusions.

Many Imaginative persons, Edgar
A. Poe among the number, cherished
the delusion that mans character
could be read in his handwriting. No
more absurd position could be held,
as Is at once proved by the fact that
no mans handwriting is invariable.
1t is Influenced by circumstances and
changes with his conditions and
moods. A man who thinks fast will
write fast, and in all probability, -un-
less be be q scrivener, will write
ulegibly. 1t is also assum ed that all
men of great literary talent or marked
professional ability write badly
This is utterly incorrect as basis
for theory. though true as fact.
Such men write badly, because it Ia
OF no material importance to them to
write well. Editors write badly, not
because they write over.much, but
because the thoughts they have to
set down crowd upon them 80 fast in
the ardor Of composition, that. lest
some should be omitted, the pen is
forced faster than their skill can fol.

pendent on the beauty Of their hand.
writing, they take no pains to make
tteir chirography legible and hand
some. Yet there are thousands ol
merchants clerks who write far more
rapidly and for a greater number OF
hours daily than any editor or law,
yer, whose writing is always hand
some, uniform and legible. This il
because they would lose their place,
were the case otherwise. We have
wo think, said enough to show thai
other considerations than character
control handwriting, ,--Erchange.

December 22d, 1856.
The city OF Honolulu is very pleas
antly located near the south west
point of the Island of Oahu, and ex.
tends for some considerable distance
up the Nuuanu valley. AT present
writing it contains q population OF
some twelve thousand inhabitants;
OF this number, two thousand are
foreigners aud the remainder natives.
The visitor is very favorably i'm
pressed with the general appearance
of the city, and its enyirons. The
beautiful tropical trees and shrubs,
with which almost every residence,
and public building is ornsmented
were new to US, and called forth many
expressions of wondsr and delight.
The public buildings, churches, and
schools arc far above the average in
external appearance, and SO far ss l
have visited, will compare very favor
ably with those In our own country
The streets u the city are very mar
row. and decidedly crooked, very
few II any make pretentions 70 being
straight. They are nothing more
than paths leading to and from thelI
grass thatched palaces, and TarG
patches Of days past and gone.
The average width is about forty
feet, with side walks about four tC
six feet in width, barely room for Q
full dressed foreign lady to pass, to
say nothing Of sundry distractions
such as boxes, sacks Of onions, pota
toes, grindstones and the omnipres
ent plow.
But even as narrow as the side
walks are. they are wide enough. Th,
natives, male and female invariably
take the street, They generally e
