Effects Of Diet.

The Pail Mall Gasette says:
"MonSieur CabaSSon has present.
ed to the French Academy curious:
essay on the effects of diet on the
moral and intellectual faculties OF
man. Its influence is, in his opinion,
so great that it would scarcely be an
exaggeration to parody u well known
proverb and say, =" Dis MOis ce que
tn manges, ct .jc is te difdi ce Qsa t.
u.s. Ina passage ofthe 'MiSerables,'
Victor Hugo likens French vivaeity
to the light French wines, and Eng
lish ponderasity to 'potarebeer, and
many Frenchmen are convinced that
the distinguishing traits OF the two
nations may in great measure be
ascribed to the use of these bever,
ages. But M. Cabasson has dived
far more deeply into the subject,
experimental on his oWn person
with various articles of foOd-coffee
taken on an empty stomach seems
to have produced most startling
effects. He informs us that immedi-
ately after imbibins it, his ideas ac-
quired unusual profundity, his style
in writing was cold but correct,
while on the other hand his temper
underwent pernicious change; he
became morose, e9otistical and gen
orally agreeable. \ moderate
breakfast restored him to his normal
state, and the disappearance of in
teIlectual profundity was compen-
stated for by an influx OF genial aEd
generous ideas. -
The theory is as Yet too undevel-
oped to admit of the prescription of
a particular diet for every vice, but,
as general rule, NJ. Cahasson assures
us that a diet of milk and vegetables
is conducive to moral and intellectual
superiority, and quotes I4amartine,
who, i'll one of his prefaces, stated
with that complacency with which
only Frenchman can talk of him.
self, that he attributes to diet Sthe
purity Of feeling, the felicity of ex-
preston, and the exquisite serenity
which always characterized him.
All Lamartinc's friends know that
he retained this serenity of disposl-
ton till his death; if he really owed
it to vegetable diet, it is Il pity that
the potato does not seem to have the
same desirable effect on the aSrlcul

DEMoREsTs' 'sYoUNG AMERICA"
YOUNG AMERICA is one of the most
popular ofjuvenile publications; there
is a freshness to it that we find in no
other, and variety that satisfies even
the desire of children for novelty. Half
the good things to be found in other
children's periodicals have been deriv-
ed from this, which seems inexhausti-
BILE in its suggestions. One of its very
best features is the interest it excites in
children, by allowing them to appear

DUTIES OF ARMERs.-Farming is
not only a profession, but of all profess
sions, it embraces the widest range Of
scientific propositions and practical facts
and affords the widest field for the
exercise of the philosophic and analytic
mind. Instead of The brightest boys
being sent to a medical college for a
field worthy of their talents, they
should be educated in the science, an
instructed practically in the duties Of
agriculture.
1t is prominent duty Of the farmer
so to pursue his calling as to inspire a
respect for it in the minds of his chill
dren, and so train them that they shall
be able to pursue it successfully, which
can only be effected by his avaiIing
himself of every advantage resulting
from the discoveries 0fscience and the
accumulated experience of the past.
This will at once strip farming of al
most every disagreeable feature, and
clothe it with attractions possessed by
no other business.
AS at present conducted there is a
large amount of very disagreeable la
Dor required to be performed in far
ming, and it is mainly to this fact that
we owe the desertion Of that business
for others by country boys. Science
and human skill must relieve this, and
undoubtedly will, if the farmer will
avail himself of their aids.-Eg.

If ever a party was corrupt it is the
radical organization which at present
rules this country. 1t has scarcely one
single element of honesty or decency
within its folds. There are doubtless
honest well-meaning men in its ranks,
but they are deluded and cheated by
the rascally leaders, who have commit
ted the most outrageous and horrible
crimes, and all, too, in the name of lib
erty, humanity, and religion. They
have murdered the innocent, plunder-
ed the poor, and robbed the country.
But we hope and believe that the days
of their power are drawing to a close.
The people begin to see through their
hypocricy and comprehend the extent
of their meannes5. They have made
every effort in their power to destroy
the country, and have brought it tothe
very verge of ruin. Now, however, the
people are waking toa sense Oftheir dan
ger, and they will rally to save the
country and to preserve the free insti-
tutions transmitted to US by our faith
ers. In the darkest hours of the past
eight years, we have had faith enough
in the conservatism and intelligence of
the American people to believe that
they would not allow the country to be
entirely destroyed, that after the pas
sion and hate engendered by the war
had worn off, they would come to their
senses, and see how badly they have
been fooled, and how their patriotism
had been played upon for the basest of
purposes. And we have stonger reason
now for such hope and belief than ever
before. The light is breaking. The
American people are coming out from
the worse than Egyptian bondage of
radicalism. The blows which radical
ism will receive at the polls next Octo-
ber, in this and other States, will stag
ger the monster, and before the time
for another Presidential election rolls
round, the heel of Democracy will be
planted upon its neck, Either radical
ism or the country must die, and we be-
Heve that the people prefer that the
country should live. TtusUiUe Star

Ex.PREslpENr JOHNSON.

Ex-President johnson does not pro-
pose to give the Tennessee Radicalsany
rest. Some of his speeches, delivered
since his retirement from Office, have
been very powerful. Theex-President
has for a long time had the reputation
of being one of the best stump speakers
in the country, and his Clnksville
speech was fully up to any of his previ-
GUS efforts. 1t is very evident that Mr..
Johnson will yet be power in Ten
nessee politics. In recent speech,
he is reported to have said:
think the Radical party are disin-
tegrating and crumbling away. | am
opposed to making a soft bed for them
to recline on in death. The offices are
not enough for all, money is getting
scarce, and things lying around loose
have been all picked up. Now they
are filed with dissensiOns and dissat-
isfaction, and are fighting for the little
residum of plumber. Our duty is to
give it to them now, to press home up
on them and hasten their death byadhe-
rence-by bold, manly, courageous adj
herence- the essential principles of
true republican government.

LET US HAVE A CHANGE! The
Radical party has been in power so
long that it has become hopelessly cor
rupt. The poison of its rottenness in
fects every branch of business, every
artery of trade. Times are dull, mon
ey is scarce, the farmer gsts no price for
his produce, the laborer is out of en-
ployment, the mechanic fails to sell his
wares, the merchant does business on
a long trust. TO continue the Radi-
Gals in power is to prolong this state
of things. Men of Bedford county !!
Look to your interests and get ready
to vote for change.

WHAT rs LUXURY ?

BY q sort Of common consent, both
the high tariff party and the free-tra-
ders agree that silk goods are a luxury,
and it is therefore supposed that they
stand highest on the list of textile fab
rics upon which taxes are imposed
under our tariff, the rate being go per
cent ad Ual0rem; but this is very far
from being the case.
The duties upon carpets are much
higher. Upon a cheap Tapestry car
pet, costing in England 81 cents per
yard, the duty is Il cents, or y per
cent; upon a Brussels it is 60 per cent,
and upon bookings, druggets, lettings,
and other priced goods the duties
are 50 high as to amount to prohi
bition. Upon coarse, heavy broad
cloth the duty is stated by Mr.. Edward
Harris, most skiIful manufacturer, to
amount to 135 per cent.
Upon a cheap poplin,a fabric made
of cotton and worsted, costing Z pence
sterling, or about II cents per yard in
England, the duty is 125 per cent.
Which is the luxury? the ow-priced
poplin d-ess, the coarse broadcloth,
the common carpet, or the silks and
satins at 90 per cent duty.
Why this difference? because an at
tempt has been made to deprive con-
sumers Of their supply Of the cheap
clothing ard combing woods Of other
countries by duty which is almost
prohibitory, while the carpet woods
are still admitted at a very low rate;
next we have attempted to force our
own manufacturers to use wool raised
here at far higher cost, and unfit for
many purposes for which foreign woods
are absolutely needed, and have thus
crippled and almost destroyed several
branches Of manufacturing which were
successfully established under low
tariff; aud lastly to compensate the
wool manufacturer for all the disad-
vantage thus imposed upon him by
forcing his customers to pay double or
treble price for the goods they need.
What has been the result? An ov-
er-suppIy of one kind Of wool chiefly
raised by us; scarcity and learness Of
other kinds. and check TO the diver
sity of employment in the manufac-
ture of wooden and worstad goods in
this country, with a good measure of
protection to the spinners of Europe,
to whom we have sent a full supply of
cheap South American and other
wool. The furniture and wooden
ware which we used to sell to South
America for wool are now made in
Bohemia and Germany; the boots and
shoes in France, and the cotton goods
in England and as our direct trade
has been almost destroyed, we have
ceased to send the butter, cheese, and
-four which used to form a considerable
portion Of every South American and
South African cargo; but we pay for
what we still import from these and
other countries either in gold or cheap
bonds. For the latter we have taken
out patent, and no other country
cares to compete with as, as they all
admit that we have succeeded in es-
tablishing our own discredit in the
most complete manner possible.
