WHITE SULPHUR, August 81, 1867.

WHITE SULPHUR, August 81, 1867.
Yesterday morning brought with tquite
a frost, and the keen, biting atmosphere
caused many seats in the stage 10 be taken
by the more timid, who made rapid re-
treat into more clement regions. This they
will probably regret, as September is, as a
general thing, the most pleasant month in
the mountains, and, rice rersa, one among
the most unpleasant in the city. The
frost, however, did no harm, as it was
melted by the fog before the rising Of the
sun.
1t has been subject of considerable
inquiry why there has been SO little gossip
among the visitors concerning the making
OF couples for wedlock. 1t is said that
the White Sulphur is proverbal for the
discovery of ailinitieS between Young
people of different sexes, but unless next
season shows some improvement upon this,
the old place will lose its reputation in this
respect, | fear. There have been during
the present season very few indications of
activity of that usually exceedingly active
participle courting," SO that for the pre-
sent, contrary to the rules of grammar and
an established rule Of the Springs, the verb
to court" must be placed on the list Of
verbs passive. A romantic exception,
however, to the above may be cited in an
example similar to the one from which
that picturesque locality near by, known
as "LoYer's Leap" derived its name.

PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTs.-Tho following
physiological facts were translated from q
French scientific journal:
"The average height Of a man and
woman at birth is generally sixteen inches.
In each OF the twelve years after birth
onc-twelnh is added to the stature each
year. Between the ages OF twelve and
twenty the growth Of the body is slower,
aud it is still further diminished after this
up TO twenty five, the period of a maxi
mum growth.
"ln old age the height Of the body
diminishes on an average of about three
inches. Tie height Of woman varies
less than that of man in the different
countries. The average weight of d
male infant is about seven pounds; OF
female, about six and half pounds.
The weight Of an infant decreases for q
few days after its birth, and it does not
scnsibly commence gaining until it is a
week old. At the end of the first year,
the child is three times Is heavy as when
it was born. At the age of seven years,
it is twice as heavy as when year old.
The average weight Of both sexes at twelve
is the same; after that period females will
nearly be found TO weigh less than males.
Tie average weight OF mems one hundred
and thirty pounds, and Of women one hun
dred and twelve pounds. In the case of
individuals Of both sexes, under four feet
four inches, females are somewhat heavier
than men, and uics rerSa. Men attain their
maximum weight at about forty, and wo-
men ut or near fifty. At sixty, both
sexes usually commence losing weight, 80
that the average weight OF old persons,
men or women, is nearly the same as at
nineteen.

FORCE OF HABlT.-Burke relates that for
long time he had been under the neces-
sty Of frequenting certain place every
day, and so far from finding any pleasure
in it, he was affected with sort Of uncasi-
ness aud disgust; and yet if by any means
he passed by the usual time of going
thither he felt remarkably uneasy, and
was not quoted until he was in his usual
track.
Persons who use snuff soon deaden the
senSlbllity of smell, so that a pinch is
taken unconsciously and without any SEN
sation being exerted thereby, sharp though
the stimulus may be.
After series of years winding ND
watch at a certain hour it becomes SO much
a routine as to be done in utter unc0n-
seriousness; meanwhile the mind and BODY
are engaged in something entirely different.
An old man is reported to have scolded
his maid servant very severely for not
having put his glass in the proper position
for shaving. "Why, sir" replied the girl,

OPPOSED TO NEGRO RULE.-Colonel Hal
pine, who made very honorable record
in the war, thus expresses his opposition,
and piyes his views of the situation. In
the New York Citizen he says:
"The daily papers are making great
middle over the opinions Of the prominent
Generals and the people at large on the
question Of reconstruction. They tell US
that Grant approves Of the course of the
President, that Thomas agrees with Sherl-
dan. and that Sherman favors the plan OF
Congress, or uice rersa, according to their
political bias. We can tell them all that
if the Congressional system is to put the
South in possession Of the negroes, 1t does
not meet the views Of the people-the sail
ors in our fleets, the soldiers in our
armies, the merchants at their desks, the
farmers at their plows, or any other large
body of our citizens. A St. Domingo is
not what we fought for we do not want 1t,
and will not have it; and that the niggers,
whether white or black, may understand
as we'll first as last. Nations are cruel
when driven to despair; and, rather than
surrender our white nationality, we will
massacre or enslave every colored man
in the States. This may be bold language,
and unconventional, but we ask our read
crs whether it does not meet the conlirma-
ton of their hearts? We have sacrificed
too many whites for q principle to stop at
taking the lives Of few worthless blacks"
