In tropical latitudes the laws of health re-
quire that people subsist almost exclusively
on vegetable food. In the Arctic regions, the
inhabitants do not produce, nor do they need
vegetables, but live entirely on the flesh of ami
mails and the blubber of seals, whales &c. In
the temperate zone, especially in America,
where our winters are almost arctic and our
summers tropical, we must have both sorts OF
food-not alike, indeed, through the year, but
meats in the cold months and vegetables in
the warm season.
Among the vegetables in use, pulpous fruits
Of all kinds are well adapted to conditions Of
health. This subject was ably presented to
the Maine Board OF Agriculture last winter
by Calvin Chamberlain Esq, OF Foxcfoft, in
an essay prepared by him for this purpose

Ane newspapers OF Paris and Berlin keen uD
asomewhat angry discussion on matters of di.
piomacy. In Patrie has an arsicle Jplva q In
reply to the Correspondence de Berlin. which
complained bitterly of the language usedby the
French papers toward Prussia The Patrie
(Which is partially Inspired by the Govern
ment) denies that the hostility exists, and in
turn asserts that the German press seeks to
misrepresent French feeling as opposed to the
unity of Germany, and that if the French pa
pers do say anything it is justified by the dis
regard which Prussia puts upon the treaty of
Prague.
The speech of NJ. Theirs on Mexico, which
has twice been postponed, was delivered in the
Corps Legislatif Tuesday, July 8. M. Theirs
said:
"The Mexican expedition has ended without
any good results to France. Our compatriOts
remain exposed to greater losses than ever our
commerce with Mexico is ruined, and the pres
tige OF our greatness is compromised in Amer
lea. Even in Europe the Mexican imbrogliv
has hamnqrod nur q tha
revolution accomplished in Germany. The
lesson OF this unhappy expedition is that con-
troll and opposition are necessary. The Mexi-
can expedition was approved by no one in
France, but was, nevertheless, undertaken and
continued for several years. There are two
ways of understanding monarcbical govern
mept. The first is the rule OF Prince with
irresponsible Ministers, who merely execute
the orders they receive. The second Is Prince
governing with responsible Ministers, who
have to submit their views to him as the head
of the State, and can, if necessary, lean upon
representative Assembly which is able to OPP
pose the Ministers, both, however, dependent.
upon public opinion. This is the form of
monarchy toward which we must advance as
speedily as possibly in the interest of the Gov
ernment and the country"
Perfect silence prevailed in the Chamber
during this speech
Referring to telegraphic announcement
from Vienna that Admiral Tegethoff is to pro-
caed to Mexico to claim the body ofthe EmpeI-
or Maximillian, and that an Austrian squadron
will accompany him, the Paris Debats declares
that the second part of that assertion appears
to it completely inadmissible.

Gas HERE AND ELsEwHERE. The peo-
pie Of Cincinnati and St. Louis COM
plain Of the enormous price that they
are charged for gas. They say that
their gas companies, which are private
corporations just as the Memphis Gas
Light Company is, charge far too much
for the article. They want their city
authorities to buy stock in their gas
companies, so that controlling they may
reduce the price Of gas. The municipal
authorities of Cincinnati and st. Louis
have again and again tried to buy stock
in the gas companies, and have offered
immense sums for it, but they can't get
II. Those gas companies will not sell to
the cities Of Cincinnati and st. Louis,
however much the people Of those places
desire them to do so, that the price Of
gas may be reduced. But in these cities
of Cincinnati aud st. Louis the price of
gas is only two dollars and half per
thousand cubic feet Here the Memphis
Gas Light Company charges six dollars
per thousand cnbic feet; and when the
Gayoso Gas Company offers to sell to
the city controlling portion Of its
stock, which would secure both to the
city and private consumers gas at a
very low rate, there are aldermen who
pretend that they can't see any advan-
tage in the city securing such control,
and try to convince peoples that the
Memphis Gas Light Company is selling
gas very cheaply when it only charges
nearly three times as much as the people
of Cincinnati and st. Louis pay for the
gas they use. Who are these Hessians
