An exchange says the case of Gen.
Rawlins will bring to the notice of
thousand. who would otherwise never
have thought of 'ity the advantages of
raw beef for the food of a.certainclass
ofinvalids. il There are two interesting
truths connected with this subject.
First, raw beef has strengthened and
protracted the lives oflaiKerg, gconsid-
cradle number of persons, who were
swiftly sinking into death, and who,
but for its use, would have died be-
yond any question. Gen. aRawlins
was improving, and had he been pru-
dent, might have lived Second, as an
article Of food, though all our lifelong
habits and education at first. lead US
strongly to oppose it, it. quickly be-
comes highly acceptable, and is rel
ished, probably, as no cooked meats
are ever relished. It is administered,
by experienced physicians, and alone
in certain cases of pulmonary con-
stump where the waste CAUSED by
the disease itiiperatively demands the
speediest supplies of hhoui'ishmeht in
the form best adapted to quick assimi-
lation, but also in certain forms of
marasmns, and in cases of obstinate
disorders of the stomach. in which
that important organ refuses to retain
or digest nearly all other articles or
forms of nourishment. Chopped fine
and slightly seasoned with salt and
heated in dish placed in boiling wa
ter, it is administered thgood effect
for a day or two, when the areusing
appetite begins to atespondIs and idt is
preferred without other appliances.
Then the patient begins to long for
the hour when tits to come, and to
eat it, when it does come, with afkeen
zest. There are cases, to-day, within
our knowledge, where this treatment

animal bodies are largely under the
laws of animal life, oand QUIZ feelings
of repugnance areioften wholly the
effects of lifelong education,I and of
customs strengthened by transmission
through many generations, eel There
are emergencies which wihliic compel Us to
areturn to first principles; Dr. Pr Kane

The New York Herald SAYS ParsOn
BrownlOw presents the most eXtraOr-
binary picture of physical debility
that was ever before witnessed in any
legislative assembly. Thad. Stevens
might have been considered, when
brought into the Senate Chamber on
mems shoulders to take his place
among the managers in the me1nOra-
bic days of the impeachment trial, the
best illustration up to that time pre-
sented of the triumph of intellectual
will over a shattered and prOstrated
bodily organism, but BTOWnl0w's ap-
pearance shows even greater indica-
tiOns of physical wreck and ruin, and
yet the latter lacks nothing of the
same uneOnquerAble mental fire and
energy TINT fnafked to his latest mo-
ments the character Of the Great Com
mOner. When taking the oath Brown
low lay back in his chair, his head
bent down, his face shTivelled, ghast-
ly, and of unedrthly hue, his hands
clasped in bOtiy, TiG6-like grasp, and
his whole appearance indicative 6f
great physical depression! AS Mr..
COlfaX read the oath tile poor old Par
son raised his feeble arm, which shook
with palsy and dropped every moment
to his side. Assistant Surgeant-at-
Arms Bassett went over and sustain
ed his arm through the remainder of
the ceremony, though the old man
made two or three desperate efforts by
himself to sustain the right arm by
prOppipg it with his left hand. After
he had taken the oath the ParsOn
stretched forth his hand for a glass u
water, %lIieh shook wildly before It
reached his lips. The ordeal, slight
as It. seemed, Had completely exhaus-
ted bitii.

cation in his own writing at this early
day for the removal of his disabilities.
it is crime in him Until his brObatiOn
has satisfied his loyal neighbors to ask
any such privilege at the hands Of the
Government of the United States.
His loyal neighbOrs may sneef at him.
but his loyal neighbOrs shall not be
sneered at with impunity in the Sen
ate of the United States.
To whom shall go but to the GRANT
and COlfaX clubs of Virginia, and of
the whole country for information in
regard to the removal of the disabili-
ties Of men who have been in the re-
bellion? We went to the Grant and
COlfaX men-I mean the loyal men of
those States-fOr aid and comfort du-
ring the rebellion, and it is natural
that we should go to them now. I do
go to the Grant and COlfax ttien;
because that is the name of their or
gahizati6n, but because they represent
the loyal element of the country from
which they write. / say again that
where a man is repentant rebel he
will not ask so early any participation
in the active labOrs of suppurtitig G6V-
ernment in the United States. Find
me rebel who has repented and he
says himself, My crimes have been
of such magnitude that it is not Fiktit
and proper that I should force myself
upon the men who have had to spend
their money and their blood to subiu-
gate me, and therefore / will as an
honest ffiap, show by my works and
by submission to the Constitution, and
by submission to the law that I have
repented." say when a man writes
his own petition and presents it here,
with me it is prinl0 .fdcie evidence
that he is yet rebel and a scOundrel,
and has no claim to the clemency of
my Government, that Government
that poured out the blood of its loyal
people to sustain our Institutions.
There may be possibly one honest
man out of a hundred among them.
Let him bide his time. Let him wait,
as his fathers waited and showed their
patriotism. Let him wait as his neigh
bors have waited and shown their de-
votiOn to the country before he comes
here, and himself comes to the cOnclu-
sion that he pdT excellence is worthy
to receive the clemency of the men
who gave their brothers and their sons
and their fathers to subjugate him in
the days of his infamous treacherY.
His own petition, fOrso6th! That is
the greatest crime of all. Let him
stand until his neighbOrs bring him
here, and until they forgive him, and
then I will forgive him, and not be-
fore.

missouri rest oath Case.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-In the
case Of Frank p. Blair, Jr., plain
tiff in error, against John 2. Thorn
psOn, ct al, and Warren W0odsnh,
plaintiff in error, against the
State of Missouri ex rel, the Attorney
General, was. argued in the Supreme
Court to-day by Montgomery Blair for
plaintiffin error and by Senator Drake
for defendant in error. The case in
wolves the eOnstitutiUhality of the
Missouri test oath.
Montgomery Blair, Id the course OF
his argument, said that Francis p.
Blair, jr. could not take the oath /;
that he had never resorted to arms for
the purpose. Of CverthrOwing the State
government of Missouri, because at
the outbreak of the rebellion, in 0c-
tOber, 1860, he organized a military
force to protect the u. s. Arsenal at
st. Louis, and afterwards organized
four Regiments and rendered them to
the government with which to Oper-
ate, and which captured Camp Jack
s6Ti. The oath prescribed by the Con-
stitutiOn of Missouri is called the oath
of dislOyalty, for it required a man to
swear he stood by the government of
the State which made war upon that
of the United States.
Senator Drake, in his reply, defend
ed the State constitution, and argued
that it is essential to protect the State
from its enemies by excluding them
from participation in its government.
None but qualified voters can exercise
political power, and it is by and thrO'
the ballot that the power can be exer-
cised by the pedple; the constitution
demonstrates, while it affirms, that the
people are the only source of power.
He then proceeded to show the neees-
sity for the aii1eudm6nt Of the State
constitution requiring the oath Of by
atty. Drake will resume his argu-
ment tomorrow.

H.G,s Manuscript.

H6race GTeeley's manuscript is no.
tOriOusly bad, and it is said to require
a printer of no ordinary skill to set UP
his copy if he happens to write in q
hurry. The recent newspaper anee-
dote of an article headed "Willian1
H. Seward, ~ which Mr.. Greeley had
returned to himset up 't'Richafd III.;''
is fresh iG the minds of all; but an OG-
currence still m6Te funny is related
which happened in the Tribune office,
some years since.
A ednip6sit0r had made so many
errors In setting "the philosophers"
copy; that 1t irritated him to such q
degree that he wrote the typo letter,
disGharging him fiOm further duty.
The c6hip6sit6t being unable to deci-
pher the contents of the note on re-
ceiving it, took 1t to the foreman, who
explained to him that it expressed
that he was mot a careful man and
Mr.. Greeley dispensed with his SER
vices" The man laid down his stick,
put on his coat and left. The next
day he applied for a situation as assis-
tant-fOreman in large printing office
in the same street. The proprietor
inquired if he could bring a recon-
mendatiOn from his last employer.
"AIl have is this letter from Mr..
Greeley" said the young man. boldly
producing Tie document: :,
The worthy job printer scanned it
some moments with peTplexed air.

LETTER FROM GARRETT SMITH ESQ,
NEW YORI.

f Mn Dear. George: = I could have
wept, the other day, when L saw you
smoking a cigar. Only fourteen years
old, and already at work to pOisen
your body and poison your soul with
tobacco! o, this is sad, indeedl
My dear boy, you see not what is be-
fore you. If you did, you would be
appalled,; and you would fall upon
your knees, and entreat your Heaven
ly Father to save you from the waste
full, filthy, wicked practice of using
tobacco.
Do not excuse yourself by saying
that SOME great and good men use to-
baccO. The great and good men who
do so are III danger of sinking into
verp little and very wicked men, be-
fore they die.
Tobacco and rum What terrible
twin bTOthersI What mighty agents
of Satan! What large share Of the
American people they are DESTROYING!
I love the children; and because /
love them, wOnld rather burn them.
than see them defile themselves with
rum or tobacco.
As Pddl said to Timothy, so say / tC
you; keep thyself pure" Be clean
in your person, and be clean in yOul
heart. But, depend upon it, you can
be neither if y6u Use tO6acE6:

He brought up from numerous ittle
crevices bits Of wax and dirt that had
been accumulating since his child
