The Condition ofHeaIth.

1t is idle to expect health il the precau-
lions necessary to secure 1t are neglected.
The human organization is delicate piece
of mechanism, and requires as much intelli-
gent care and watchfulness to keep it in or
der as are requisite in the management of
the most complicated combination of levers,
wheels and pinions.
At this season of the year the body is pc
culiarly sensitive, because it is greatly
weakened and relaxed by the continuous
heat The skin in summer. with its millions
of pores wide open, is very different sort
Of tegument from the compact fibrous COW
ering which il becomes under the action of
the winters cold. The muscles, too, are
comparatively fiaeid, the nerves tremulous,
the blood poor, and the whole frame less ca
pable Of enduring fatigue and resisting dis
ease, than in cool weather. These In lica-
tions of depressed condition OF the vital
forces are so unmistakable hints that nature
needs reinforcement.
Ordinary stimulants viii not effect this
object. They intlame and excite, but do not
strengthen. The only preparation which
can be depended upon to impart staminal
vigor to the system, and enable it to endure
the ordeal of the heated term without Civ
ing under the pressure, Is HOS4ETTERS

tone to the digestive organs, thereby curing
dyspepsia. In its various forms, wakeful-
ness, general debility, depression OF spirits;
also, the best preventive against fever and

A LONG BRANCH INCIDENT.-The follow
ing is from the editorial Long Branch
perhaps 'long- bow''-corresponde of the
Houston Times:
We saw several hundred ladies and gen.
tlemen bathing together at the same time.
and seeing the bdthers handling the round,
plump and Venus-formed girls, we became
much excited. Many amusing incidents oc-
cur in these delightful bathing operations.
We will relate one: Senator Murphy, who
is fine-looking, jovial, whole-souled, in
tellectual fellow, went down to battle, and
while in che costume of the bGthers, was adj
dressed by lady of distinction, WHO had
come down alone to battle lyon can come
and battle mer' The Senator jumped at the
opportunity, and taking the fair lady by the
hand, led her out into the water, projected
her from the under currents and sometimes
dangerous waves, at the same time listening
to her Joyous EXPLANATIONS, such as, 'sOh,
how delightfuli'' 1T is indeed delicious ~
&c. After getting through with bathing
and paying the Senator the fifty cents, which
is the regular price charged by the bathing
men, one of whom she supposed the Senator
was, she said to him: well sir, wish you
to battle me every day at IL O'Clock; what
name shall call when l want you 2" Tom,
madam; l will wait on you with pleasure
Soon afterwards the lady met the Senator in
the parlor. She saw her mistake and blush
ingly left the room. Tom Murphy however
met her at the breakfast table and removed
her embarrassment by saying in his win
ming way: s-I'm nobody but Tom, madam,
and hope you win call for me at III o'clock r

FATAL AFFRAY.-We are informed
that difficulty occurred at Handsboro' on
Thursday last between DIR. Latham, former
ly of Canton. ana Mr.. Albert Green, of New
Orleans in which the latter was killed.
From the few particulars we have, it seems
that Green wanted to borrow money of
Latham, which the latter declined. where
upon he was denounced and slapped in the
face by Green. Latham, procuring shot
gun, at once killed him. Mr.. Green was a
member of the firm of Green & Elder,
New Orleans.

This talk of s4importinx'' Chinese. st the
Memphis Convention, has aroused the sus-
picions of many at the North, of the Radi-
cal party, who have Joined in the protest OF
the California Democracy against ''import-
ing Chinese. and the result of it Is an onl-
cial republication of the act of 1862 against
the importation Of ssChfnese Coolies" We
feel free to say that il 1t were possible TO
import and keep Chinese. or other like
peoples. in a state of peonage, or bound ser
vice, as is imposed by men who reason like
Gen. Pillow, and have desire to perpetuate
the worst features of cur old system OF
plantation management and culture, We
would oppose the introduction Of them our
selves But it Will be impossible to effect
this. The Chinaman may be under a con-
tract to labor at some enthusiastically low
prices. but he will soon find that he can get
more; and if he profits by what we call our
superior civilization, he will not feel any
more bound by contract made in ignorance
of the value of his work. and by taking adj
vantage of his necessities, than do those
who claim TO have purer religion, and the
only true one and whose claims to political
and educational superiority are SO haunting
ly set forth. Undoubtedly the price Of labor
will be lessened by the Chinaman coming
here; but il will he bv competition and not
by contract. In some way the man who
advances the cost of his coming can be, and
will be, secured the reimbursement OF 1t,
but he can never secure by this act long

The Chinaman, it must be understood, is
thoroughly intelligent human being, who is
not able to get along at first among US, be-
cause he is a stranger. AS soon as he De-
comes familiar with our language, laws, and
course of business, which he may do as
re adily as Germap, if not an Irishman, he
will ask equal privileges and get them. The
lazy Iaborer may fear competition with him,
the demagogue may make him share with
the outsiders his hatred of him possible
voter, but the Chinaman will, if he does his
work, earn his wages and deserve to receive
them; and, unless we get rid of the baneful
idea of universal suffrage, he may be vo-
ter, but we see no reason why in this very
he will be less to be relied upon
than some others. He may be fair offset
